Venture I alluded to it. We've got a fun show plan. I want to go all over the place today. I want to talk about fake beat reporter burner accounts for the New York Jets. What a way to wrap up twenty nineteen and the decade was? That was the New York Jets. Can't ask

for a better way to end this decade. We've got a feet round mock draft that we are going to complete together. We're gonna look at the wide receivers, the top twelve wide receivers from the twenty nineteen season. We got two quarterbacks, running backs. We spoke a little bit about tight ends yesterday as well. We'll talk about our favorite fantasy player of the decade. And we'll wrap it all up with some New Year's resolutions. Closer, Chris Venture,

how you doing, buddy, I'm good. How are you doing today? But uh yeah, we were just on the Friends you were took shooting the ship about the New Year's I didn't do resolutions, so let's do it on this show. And uh shout out to Greg Susman. Shout out to Greg. Playing a little botch. You played, Boc. I've played probably wait until you're about forty fifty and then maybe you'll hit up the box. It's an old Guineas game. Yeah, I could say that, you can't say, you know, because

you're probably the most Italian guy I know. But maybe we'll stay away from for the rest of the show here. But let's start off with this burner account drama. If you're watching The Morning After Today with Gamemorenci, Ariel Epstein

and Joe Ornery, you heard a little bit about this. Now, if you follow the Jets, if you follow fantasy football, and you know on Twitter you have all the beat reporters where you get your information from, you need to follow these people in order to know, you know, to keep you updated for the fantasy football season. Who's in,

who's out, Practice updates, usage updates for players. Normally, these are great follows to help you become a better fantasy player, with maybe the exception of one Beat reporter Ventura, that being Miniche Meta of the New York Jets. Now here is here's the issue with Minische Meadow. There's a lot of issues he's at this point. If you follow him of the New York Daily News of the New York Daily News, he is patrol. Yeah, he is more of a troll than an objective beat reporter that he is

supposed to be. The day, the night that the Jets hired Adam Gaze, Minich Meadow goes out and tweets Jets fans, you finally got it right. You got an innovative, offensive mind, a true leader. That was the beginning of it all. That was the beginning of the trolling, all right, And now every single week we're getting fluff peace after fluff peace about Adam Gaze. I'm rich as I'll let you fill in the blank there. You never even said it. Fake sources, fake news. This guy just goes out of

his way. And now this is the latest in the drama of the New York Jets. Allegedly there was a burner account. This is this is great, you can follow go on my Twitter. I quote tweeted this. Barstool Sports has an investigative report regarding this burner account. A burner account for those out there who if you don't know, it's a fake Twitter account that you make to either defend yourself or to defend somebody else. So all along there's this account on Twitter venture at Wyatt v eighteen.

Now it's deleted. I wonder why everyone's suspected that this was an Adam Gaze burner account Because Adam Gaze, sensitive guy, doesn't deal well with the media. This is all the portrayal of Adam Gaze. And believe me, I don't normally defend Adam Gaze, but for this specific scenario, I will

be defending Adam Gaze. Now, the turn in all this, this h Adam Gaze burner account is that people now suspect that it is miniche Meta who is running this burner account to try and sabotage Adam Gaze so that he can write stories about Adam Gaze having a fake

burner account. How rich he is, I mean the lengths that people will go to and again this is all alleged, But the reason why people think that it's him is because this fake Twitter account, this burner account, tweeted out a New York Daily News article written by miniche Meta exactly the same way that he tweeted out the article later on in the day, so people are suspecting that he forgot to change his Twitter account. I mean, this is insane. Why would anybody want to coach the New

York Jets. This team is seven and nine. They stink there a circus, and yet they're always in the news. How do they go seven and nine, six and two and there finally games all the credit in the world to Greg Williams, by the way, is a moron? Why are you going? And then it all kind of it kind of leaks over into everything else is happening. Right, So you saw a lot of people saw yesterday the Adam Gates response to the Levian Bell question, well is

Levian Bell gonna be back here? And Adam gaze visibly frustrated at the podium based on who is asking the question. He says, asked Joe Douglas tomorrow, He's under contract for three years? What else you want me to say? Minisch Meadow was the one who asked me that question. So of course Connor Us, a beat reporter who actually does his job for the Athletic, cleared this up yesterday and said, well, the reason why Adam Gates was so frustrated was because

it was Minish Meta who was asking questions. He's like, how many times do I have to answer the same question? And Gates is just frustrated, Like if someone wrote a story about you venture making up some fake news, a fake storyline about you being richer than everyone else, and you don't care about your fan base all the goon squad. Imagine some one wrote a story like that and it wasn't true, and then that same person comes in and

asked you a Levian Bell question. You would be frustrated to Well, first of all, it's personality, like, yeah, I mean, you shouldn't let all these things get to you. If you're gonna be a head coach, don't let that get to you. Like I'd be joking around too. It's just that never ends. Well, you could be beliver. I thank God for the New York Jets because you know, there was some great times with Rex Ryan. I personally I love the Rex Ryan about the guy he brought. He

brought the Jets to two championships. Back made a great defense, but him defeat everything else that's going on in the Jets, it's just this is the biggest news they had all yet. It's a wild world.

on the sports Grid TV network. He is the closer, Chris Venture I am Frank Stanfeld and Chris, I know that you wanted to put a bow on this burner account conversation when it comes to miniche meta slash Wyatt v eighteen on Twitter. Yea, so yeah, he made this account. He's trying to get attention, right. Everybody wants files and clicks and whatever, but some people want it real bad and they'll go to extensive lens to do it. And

I think I believe this is right now. You said, I asked you during the break, would you go, like, you know, do something a little crazy like this to get more follows and get attention. I wouldn't do would No, I'm not me personally, I could understand that, you know, certain people would. Some people just have the urge, you know, they have the urge to I gotta I gotta get some clicks, you know, I gotta get follows. I gotta find a way to create controversy, right to get people

talking about me. And you know what that is. That's high school, man, that's that's junior high school. That's drama. The writer should be professionally saying they should be professional. And you brought up a good point during the break. Maybe the times are changing. We got trolls all over the world, news everywhere, living their parents basements, as gay likes to say on Twitter, YouTube comments, read it wherever

you go, there's gonna be trolls. I mean, look, if you want to kind of say, what has to find the decade of you know, the twenty tens going into social media, social media and you know keyboard bullies, that's you know, that's been very prevalent. And now and now we got one working for the Daily News. Is he gonna get fired? No? No, no, no, The Daily News loves this. Now they got me talking about so they got me talking about it, They got everybody on Twitter

talking about it. They love this. They're not gonna get rid of him. So do you think is he's not a beat reporter. He's like, that's what he claimed to be. He's not. He's this is TMZ, this is create controversy, get clicks, clickbait. But he works for He's not. He's not a real beat reporter. He's supposed to be a real beat reporter, but he's not. He's a troll. Yeah, that's what he is. So they're gonna be more fake beat reports a professional troll. People are gonna do this. Listen,

you'll get a raise out of this. Maybe this will be the best thing that ever happens. If you ask me what I do something crazy to go viral, yes, the answer is yes. All right, So what's what's the closer Chris, Vent're doing later tonight to go viral? Well, I I said, I already said, I'm already like I'm going home. I already asked Christina. I said, listen, I got a crazy idea. You want to go to a c tonight? There poker And she said she's down, She's down.

But the problem is it's six hundred dollars for room, but god is she already looked it up for to Well? Everyone said, you know what, everyone's gonna want to go party in a c for a New Year's Eve. Exactly. There's gonna be a lot of singles out there would have it. But I'm gonna just play polka. I told listen, you could drink half fun go out. Do you think I'll play poke? I'll drink some coffee and Bailey's I

won't get too erect and I'll drive home. You know, I'll just have like one drink and the rest of the night coffee stay. I'll play some polka, win some money, alright, be a great night. But I'm down to do spontaneous and crazy stuff. I don't know how things go viral, though, you know, stupidest things I've ever seen have gone viral, and my role mean, there's no way to predict it, obviously, and if everyone could predict it, then you know, be

a ton more content than there already is. Exactly. So I mean, you know, one day, I'm sure I'll do something pretty stupid and crazy and and you know it'll get it. How about you know? I tweeted about this last night, how about you sign up for Temptation Island. Temptation I feel like that would be a perfect show for you to be a big problem for those who don't know what Temptation Island is. I walk in last night. My fiancee is watching Temptation Island. This is a show.

I'll just read you the Wikipedia definition here description of the show an American reality television program broadcast on Fox and USA Network. Probably shouldn't mention that in which several couples agree to live with a group of singles of the opposite sex in order to test the strength of their relationships. If you have not watched this show, I've watched it. This show is insane, and Chris, I feel

like you would fit right in. Yeah, I've watched the first couple episodes for some reason to be able to behave yourself on Temptation Island. No, No, no, I I would, I would. I mean, I you never know who's watching. Um yeah, I'm about to get married in like a month and a half, So not if you go on Temptation Island or not. I see, that's the thing, that's the point. If you're going on tempting Temptation Island, and

you've already got you know, they're probably couples anyway. It's probably all definitely got couples issues already if you're going on Temptation Island. But it is a hilarious show. Shout out to Wyatt, Shout out to Burner Accounts, Shout out to Temptation Island Venture the top twelve wide receivers. There we go. There's your segue of the twenty nineteen fantasy football season. We did quarterbacks yesterday, running backs. We spoke

a little bit about tight ends as well. The wide receiver position in twenty nineteen, No surprise, Michael Thomas one of the best seasons that we've ever seen from a wide receiver. He broke the receptions record in a single season. Number two. How about this, Chris Godwin, Despite only playing fourteen games, Chris Godwin finishes as your wide receiver two overall, Your boy Julio Jones, number three, Cooper Cup, DeAndre Hopkins,

Kenny Gallady. He only played eight games with his starting quarterback Matthew Stafford still finishes your wide receiver six DeVante Parker. Since Preston Williams went down, he is the wide receiver to overall from Week ten on just a phenomenal season from DeVante Parker number eight, Keenan Allen nine, Amari Cooper ten, Julian Edelman eleven Allen Robinson. What rob What a phenomenal season out of Allen Robinson. Every single week we come in here talk about how bad the Bears offense and

Mittal Trobiski looked. You know who wasn't bad? It was Allen Robinson. Really made the most of a not so great He did that with the jackal has to Blake Bortles. I mean, he's had two of the worst quarterbacks, seriously, and he's still making the most of it. It's crazy. Just a phenomenal job by Alan Robinson. Number twelve Mike Evans, despite only playing thirteen games. So you have two Bucks

wide receivers finished there in the top twelve. Only six of these who finished in the top twelve were actually drafted in the top twelve in average draft position before the season. So you had a fifty percent hit rate of your of you know, one of your one of the top twelve wide receivers returning wide receiver one value at hit rate who did not great? Okay, So first of all, it was it was only six. To me, there was only like five or six elite will receivers

coming into the year. You're ready, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, and I'll have a little bit more on Davontae Adams. He was not great early in the season, and obviously getting hurt did not help. Julio Jones was number three, Michael Thomas number four, three or your top four great, Odell Beckham Jr. Five, Juju Smith Schuster six, Tyree Hill was great when he played, but he got her can't predict injuries. Number eight, Mike Evans awesome when he played.

Still finished inside the top twice your boy. So when you drafted Antonio Brown number nine, burned everybody. Keenan Allen number ten wasn't bad. Actually inside the top towel you saw it. He did what you expected him to do. Adam Feeling got hurt and really wasn't great either. I had a lot of touchdowns. Amari Cooper was twelve, So again six out of the top twelve that were drafted to. Just just outside of that, Stefan Diggs was fine, solid

high end wide receiver. To Brandon Cooks terrible, Robert Woods really really slow, first half of the season. Came on in the second half of the season. You know, Robert Woods actually finished with over a thousand yards receiving. A problem is he only had three touchdown. It's always a problem for Robert Woods. T Y Hilton got hurt. Julian Edelman finished inside the top twelve, Chris Godman finished inside the top twelve. Kenny Golladay was wide receiver nineteen drafted.

He finished inside the top twelve. And then Tyler Lockett rounds out the top twenty a d p uh, and he was very up and down. You had some really big games out of lock He got hurt at one point, then you had some down games. He wasn't he he was Tyler Locketts talented. The problem is, and we say this every single year, this is why I didn't draft Russell Wilson, and I felt terrible about it in the first half of the season. They just run the football

too much. It's a problem. Man, Like if they unleased Russell Wilson, you're paying him as much money as you are. He could throw forty You have Brian Schottenheimer as the o C of the Seattle Seahawks. All he wants to do is run the football and they do it effectively, so I can't blame them for that. But see as how this team won as many games as they did, it's scary to imagine how much better they could be if not even like, you don't have to have Russell

Wilson throw the ball fifty times a game. That's not what I'm saying, but just haven't been more aggressive throw on earlier down. It's a little bit more play action, a little more creative. Imagine if that was the case, how great Russell Wilson could be for real life and fantasy. But I think for many years the issue was they didn't trust the receivers, okay, because you had at one point what it was, Golden Tate was their locket. This

is really early on Russell Russell Wilson's career. Early in their career they were defense, ground and pounds, smashed football team. And he now plays when he had to write, I think now at this point in time, this is the best receiver group they've ever had with Russell Wilson. Because DK Metcalf has really had a nice rookie season and I doubted him too. I was wrong about d K. I was wrong about him too, and he's a freak. I should have liked him. It was against my grain completely,

but he had none ds, receiving seven touchdownsches. Great rookie's right, uh, David Moore. Tyler Lockett coming into his own. He had Baldwin, but metcalf replaces Baldwin and Lockett becomes the number one. He has weapons now, Hollister, you got what's his name will come So there's great to Yeah, the weapons are there now. The weapons were better this year. I don't know that they're gonna improve, increase their past percentage or

their you know, change their play calling philosophies. Probably not. I think as long as Brian Schottenheimer is there, that's not gonna change. Remember last year they lost the Cowboys in the playoffs. All they did was run the football in that game. They would have won if they were more aggressive on early downs. It's just a detriment for the Seattle Seahawks. We come back, more wide receiver talk, one round mock and more here on the BFS. I

watch all day long here, venture yea basketball hockey. If you're at the hockey supposedly, I don't even know what that is. Yeah, I don't. I can't. I can't name two players in the in the National Hockey League that right now. Um? Yeah, all these slates good though. Are we talking about big money here? There's a big money on every slate. First for basketball, some early NBA slate action. Um, speaking of the picking a rise, we have a we have a season long fantasy basketball pit league. You know,

the big timers in it, killing the closer. Chris Venturer, you're showing off a little basketball chops. Huh yeah, I'm six and four now. You first thing he came in today? You know what I picked up? Row mccraig. Heck is this guy last night? I'm like, who is this guy? Put up fantasy points? You're on my team. And anybody that scores forty five plus fantasy points automatically gets added to my team. If they have that capability, I want them on my team. Uh No, but what you call

im playing? Greg Sussman this week, take out, take Out, take out, the BC. All right venture, I wanted to ask you about these top twelve wide receivers that finished in nineteen Michael Thomas, Chris Godwin, Julio Cooper, cup d Hop Golladay, DeVante Parker, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Julian Edelman, Allen Robinson, Mike Evans. Of that group, who are you most likely to avoid in the fantasy football season? Good question,

good question. I am going to avoid. So there's two guys that I'm eying right now on this list that kind of scare me. Let's talk it out. Uh one, Actually there's three, so definitely. Uh Julian Edelman. This is the first time I feel like he's been in the top twelve. He's usually a wire receiver too. I feel like over the years now I would have to look that up because he usually doesn't get a lot of touchdowns.

I think this year he had how many touchdowns you have? Eight? No, we had more than six, alright, six, So letn't have a ton of touchdowns, but almost twelve yards receiving nine receptions. I think Edelman I would not draft as a top twelve wide receiver. I drafted more as a wide receiver to keep it strict like that, because he's also older, you know what I mean. And they're gonna beat up he was the best weapon on the team. They had no weapons all year. You don't even know if Brady's

gonna be there, right Cooper worries me. He doesn't show up in big games. He cost me a championship. Uh, he disappears. I love that you you base who you're gonna draft the next year on whether or not they they screwed you over in the championship. I mean, I'll draft him. You screwed me over in Week six? Team not drafting next year, Like, I'll draft him. But I don't want to spend a wide receiver. I don't want him to be my wire receiver one. I'm not calm

do with that, you know what I'm saying. I'm fair, I'm you know, like I would somewhere. He's super talented. Is you know, maybe the next head coach that they bring in our offensive coordinator, assuming that they make a change again, it's you know, to thirty here on the East Coast. Jason Garrett is still employed by the Dallas Cowboys. He hasn't been fired yet, or at least I haven't seen it. He's going to be, so we'll see who

they bring in. But maybe it's someone that can get the most out of their weapons because Amari Cooper, he's disappeared at times. He's always banged up. He's super talented, but we just don't get enough consistency yet, right, And that's the problem. And you're drafting him every year as like, here's the year he's gonna be everyone one. And you know what, at this point, everyone's gonna see what he did this year. They're gonna talk about, oh, well, look

at the big games that he had. He still finished at the top twelve wide receiver. Next year, he'll be in the top. He'll be a second round pick again next year. Right, And that's the thing I think that's paying too much because we haven't completely seen that consistency upside from him for a whole season yet. You know, every year he's had some sort of issue that kind of you know, the heard him from being that elite

wide receiver you want to see from him. Um Allen Robinson worries because the year before with the Bears didn't do much at all. He was actually one of the most inconsistent I had him, and I was banking on him to do what he did this year. It was his first year coming off a c L surgery, though, right, and his first one another year further removed from that right talent wise, love the guy A little worried about that offense. I don't know if he's gonna be a

wid receiver one again next year. Mike Evans is a guy who I know is can be a wide receiver one in any given year. But if you look at his career, I feel like every other year he has it down here. Like if you just look at his career stats every other year, you'll see, like when you're twelve touchdowns, actually I have like three touchdowns, Like it's just very odd like. And if you look at his game log, his game log is kind of a microcosm

of his career, right, because it's the same way. It's one week he'll give you a hundred and fifty and three and the next week he'll give you five for fifty plus. He never really catches a ton of passes. He caught sixties seven bulls. As you I don't think he's ever quote more than what his career has. That's a good that's a good one. All right, What about

the most part, what are you looking at? Seventies sixties, Yeah, sixty seven, This year eighty six, last year seventy one, the year before that nineties seventy four, So he ranges from seventy to ninety let's say that. Okay, So to me, my war receiver ones catching eighty five plus balls. Guaranteed you want a guy that's eating consistently. So if you have a guy who's only catching, but he makes up with this, he makes up with it with the chunk

plays that he catches, you know. So like he doesn't do it in reception volume, but if you look at his yardage, like last year fifteen hundred yards, he has another year over thirteen hundred. His second year in the league he had over twelve hundred yards, So he always makes big place. He has these big chunk plays. The average is almost sixteen yards per reception in his career, so he's a monster. Makes up for that reception total by having big yardage games. So to me, Mike Evans

is definitely a safe pick. But I don't know he's better for best, he's a bottom end wide receiver one for me in that top elite alright, So then you're not gonna get him next year because he's gonna go at the t ye. See, I'm not paying for that. That's gonna be a borderline first second round pick, right like Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, to me, are the four elites. Those are the elites untouchable. After that,

you know, golad I might be turning into that. I think Godwin and Mike Evans are in that mix right after that. Odd Wins coming up and Tech and if Godwin's gonna be elite, I think it's gonna be very difficult for them both to be consistently elite all year long. Again, I think that was a problem this year. There was never a game where both of them went off together. It would be one game, it's god Win, one game,

it's Evans. And that's why you know, when we talked about this a lot during draft season, or at least I know Greg and I do right where we would you double down on two wide receivers on the same team, even if it's a really good offense, right, Like, would you take a Julio we probably would have Yeah, like Julio and Ridley, I would do that, Like, yeah, there's a chance that both of them could go off in

the same week. You're kind of limiting your upside because more often than taking each other, one of them is going to go off and the other one isn't. That was look at the Bucks offense. They had one of the best passing offenses all season long, and there still weren't a lot of games, if any where both Godwin and Evans went off in the same game. So it limits your upside. And think about how many times this guy Winston through the ball I mean and the head

monster games. But it would be all right, well, one game Mike Evans would go off in the next time Chris god want to go off, and then you know you're not doing together. You shouldn't really draft two hour receivers on the tape, even if you want them to be part of your top three wire receivers. I think like next year, you you will have the opportunity to take Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, But why would you do that? Because you limit your upside? But they're both

super talented. So I understand, like, yeah, you might wanna uh differentiate a little bit. One team you take Cooper, maybe one team you take Gallop. I think Galu might even be better than just to get exposure to that offense, because look, the Cowboys have a talented offense, There's no doubt about it. That's why Jason Garrett's about to get fired. There's a lot of talent on that lot of games. They just weren't able to show up a in big

games and there wasn't enough consistency. When you have an offensive line that good, you pay a running back, you have a top five running back, you have a top five offensive line. Dak Prescott, Maybe Dak Prescott is the problem. Now, he had a great year, thirty touch on a level A lot of a lot of that was garbage time perfect really was like Blake Bortle's fantasy production. Right, but he hasn't been banned. You needed him to beat the Bears on Thursday, You needed him to beat the Eagles

in a crunch time game. You couldn't do it. It didn't show up. Yeah, you're right, No, you're right. I mean that's real NFL talk. But when we were fantasy DA is great for fantasy fantasy purpose is great. Um, But I would say this strategy wise going into next year, if you're drafting wide receivers right, usually you have three wide receivers that you're definitely starting on your on your roster.

I usually tend to go for all three of those guys to be the number one wide receiver on their team and so that they're getting as many targets as That's exactly what e y strategy was. This Yere too, like later on in drafts, if he could find wide receivers who he suspected to be the number number one for their team, he would just draft him, even if he didn't think that they were talented talented players, like he had Courtland Sutton everywhere this year Immanuel Sanders was

on the team. He he thought that sort of Sutton was going to be the number one, and he ended up being here and that's why he drafted him everywhere and it worked out. It was a great call. I mean the same thing with Devanta Parker. Once he saw the way he was playing earlier on in the season, he picked him up everywhere. He said, look, this kid is the number one, and he gets all the targets

and he eats it. It doesn't always work. I mean, Hollywood Brown was the number one on the Brown on the Ravens, and obviously he's a rookie and he didn't get as many targets. And obviously Lamb Jackson run. So it depends on the team. But or like the footy Niners, the number one, there is no true number one there. Emmanuel Sanders came, he still wasn't a true number one.

Debo has better numbers than Emmanuel since he came to the Ford Ninder Sanders, right, I mean, so, uh well, Deebo will probably be the number one next year, So I'll target a guy like Debo because I think he'll be them not man. I think that's brand is. I think he is that good. I think they go out and get Odell Beckham. I think staying for and to be number two. But if that's if that's the case, then A. J. Green is probably the one over DeBow. Yeah,

it could be close, but it's interesting, it is for sure. Look, you know one of the old adages right in fantasy football. One of the first things that I learned was draft quarterbacks and wide receivers on teams with bad defenses, and draft running backs on teams with good defenses, because obviously, you know, it's just makes sense. You have a good defense,

you're gonna be playing with the lead. You're gonna have the ball more you want, You're gonna have the running back playing from a head positive game script the other way. That's why every year it doesn't matter if Jami's Winston throws thirty interceptions. He's thrown, he's thrown for five thousand yards. The defense, you know, while they improved this year, they

still weren't great. So and Bruce arians and a very kind of black and white way to look at positional UH players and fantasy people draft running backs on teams with good defenses, and draft quarterbacks and white papers start on teams with bad de physics because they're more often than not chasing points in those games.

Where is he Gonna Be? Welcome back to the Fantasy best Friends Forever. I am Frank Standfeld, joined by the Closer Chris Ventra, the host of the Fantasy Football Frenzy here on the Sports Grid TV network. Yeah, I wanted to provide people a little look back at the decade,

right I've seen a lot of these lists already. Who were the top Jets of the decade, Giants of the decade, the top athletes of the decade, the best sports moments of the decade, And you know, they're fun things to look at and read and remind yourself of everything that happened from the years. So venture I wanted to ask you who is your Fantasy Football player of the decade twenty nineteen. I think everybody already knows, especially shout out of the goon squad that it's gonna be Julio Jones.

Can you argue with my boy? Uh? I've seen a tweet from Grand bar Field today, Shout out the Grand bar Field. Julio Jones finished among wide receivers and Fantasy points since two thousand fourteen wide receiver three, wide receiver two, wide receiver seven, receiver six, while receiver two and wire receiver six, so top ten wide receiver pretty much throughout

his entire career. Uh. And if you look at his career, I mean, if it wasn't for Antonio Brown and his dominance in that five year stretch, Julio is probably the greatest receiver of the decade. I mean, it's hard to argue against Julio. That's fair to say, you know. I mean, I think DeAndre Hopkins is in that mix, but Julio did it for longer within the decade, right, I mean, you know, so, I mean, Hopkins definitely in the mix,

but Julio Megatron too. Can't forget about Megatron. Megatron's career ended in I think, so I feel like he just cut his career short. He said he did, But did you read or see that story about him where he basically was like a tell all interview. He told he revealed to people that he was like smoking and using like pain killers and stuff, and like he's from the game.

So I can't blame the guy, man, I mean, you got to look out for your long term health as Well's yeah, I think he was only twenty nine when we were talking. He retired at thirty after. You're right, But you know, for those, uh, for those six years from fifteen, I mean, Calvin Johnson was amazing. Antonio Brown in that mix as well. I put this question on Twitter. I know a lot of people were saying, someone said

Tom Brady, someone brought up Antonio Brown as well. I saw that RTAL World put out an all Decade team which featured Lashawn McCoy Adrian Peterson. Of course, you can't forget about those players. It was. It was a great decade for all of those guys. But mine is I'm gonna make it personal because this player helped me win my first championship in my longest standing home league. And

I'll never forget. One of my favorite Fantasy football moments Sunday Night Football, Marshawn link Lynch breaks off one of those beast Quake runs against the San Francisco forty Niners seventy yard roly, he's just cutting people up one side of the field, runs the other side, trucking people. Scores a seventy yard touchdown to give me the lead in my fantasy football championship and it was the first time

I won my home league. So my answer is Marshawn Lynch from four straight years with over twelve hundred yards twelve of plus touchdowns. I mean, to do that for a four year stretch as a running back in the NFL, pretty damn impressive. Uh, just really created a lot of memorable moments for not just fantasy owners, Seattle Seahawks fans, the uh we all know the crazy runs and the playoff, the hold hold my junk, the runs. Man. I mean, the guy just created so many special moments. So my

answer would be Marshawn Lynch. It was a great person for Beast mode. I'm happy that he's back in the NFL. Uh, that's my answer. Yeah, I mean, listen, that's a personal thing. But like he did, if he didn't do it, yeah, for the whole decade, that's tough. He was actually good for the Raiders last year. He just got hurt. Yeah,

now you know, Now he's just a bet. I want to jump into this first round mock for We've got a couple of minutes left here on the show, so try and get through twelve picks if we can a little back and forth just to give people an idea of what the first round is looking like. I know a couple of people yesterday in the chat we're asking us, you know, what is the first look like, or at

least the top five picks. So I think this is a good way to kind of go over that and give people a really early look at what we're expecting the fantasy football season. Of course, half point. The only way to play fantasy football is half point. With that, you're on the clock. You've got the number one pick, Ventra, You're gonna shot the system. Christian McCaffrey. I mean you have to. I know it sucks. Yeah, I mean you're right, like, no, no, no,

you gotta take him. I'm just missing it's boy, it's not boring, because Christian McCaffrey's definitely not boring. All right. It's the consensus number one pick, concess number one pick. He was the best player in fantasy this year. Uh, I mean he, like you said, he was a player and and and a half. Basically he was a flex and an RB one. How good and one? How great

would you say Michael Thomas is yere was? I I think it was like a nine out of ten on a scale, Michael Thomas and the guy breaks the single season in receptionsption, it's not a ten out of ten, well ten at Randy Mosses not at a ten. He finished with three hundred point one Fantasy points and half PPR. Michael Thomas Wide receiver one just had a phenomenal season, historic season. Christian McCaffrey four hundred and thirteen point two Fantasy picks. What It's just insane what he did this year.

I mean he was in the running to have the greatest fantasy football season of all time, past Ladinian Thomlinson, who scored thirty one touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey had nineteen touchdowns. So think about how many more scrimmage yards he had in Ladinian Thomlinson Thomlinson's phenomenal season. I'm not worried about the workload for McCaffrey. You know how much he's touched the ball. I don't think that they're gonna go away from him. This is the Panthers offense, and I think

it's going to continue to do that way. I agree with you, right, And he didn't get hurt. I mean, if we're if Sae Kwon, Barckley didn't get hurt, okay and had a phenomenal season, something close to McCaffrey. Even if McCaffrey, it would it would have never come close to mccaffe How do you know even in Barty's best years, I think point too. I'll say that next year McCaffrey's one A Barley stays healthy the whole year. And I'll tell you right now why the number to pick in

fantasy drafts should be Ezekiel Elliott. Ezekiel Elliott is as safe as they and considering the changes that they're going to make, I expect this Cowboys offense to really hopefully flourished. Bring someone in here to get the best out of these weapons. Just so safe. I mean, he hasn't finished below RB five in Fantasy points per game in any season that he has been in the NFL. The receptions have gone up the past couple of years. He scored a ton of touchdowns this year, got off to a

little bit of a slow start. Didn't have preseason and training camp because he was holding out for the contract. Can't blame a player for wanting to get his money. For me, the number to pick as safe as they come. I'm taking Ezekiel Elliott. You're on the clock with number three, Okay, so you got Zeke, I will go with. This is tough. You gotta you gotta go with who you just said is one b right. I'm because of the injury. It worries me and Michael Thomas is so safe. I think

I have to go Michael Thomas. I think so. I think it's just so safe. He has not had a flaw in his career so far. If you look at career, that hasn't been a flaw, not one, not an injury. Yeah, I mean no, there's literally hasn't been anything wrong. Uh Now, in a PPR, it's tough. Basically it's Barkley, Thomas, and then whoever's next. Barkley and Thomas, whether you take them three or four, I would take Barkley even two and Thomas too over Zeke. I think I know you're a

Giants fan, but I think is extreme. I think he obviously had a down year, he got hurt and everything, but now he's fully healthy. These last two weeks he looked fantastic. I'm buying right back into the Barkley hype, and I think he's the best, most talented running back in the league. To Christian McCaffrey, I think those are one, one and two. Then Michael Thomas. You just helped me because either way, you take Michael Thomas three, I'm gonna

take say Kwon Barkley four. So your top four picks Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Michael Thomas, and sake Kwon Barkley. We know how talented Barkley is, even if he didn't show it as much in the second half of the season. Probably returned too early from that ankle injury. Looked like he was kind of playing through some pain. There's healthy recently, That's what That's what matters. They have to improve the offensive line in the off season. I think it's some

something that they should address. I don't know that they will because if you're watching that Dave get him in press conference today, the guy does not have a clue. Hopefully they address the offensive line. But I think year two, Daniel Jones gets better, the offense gets better. So to sake, Kwon Barkley, you're back on the clock for pick five. Pick five. Julio Jones. Julio Jones. Juleio Jones is half PPR venture. He doesn't score touchdowns. If you want to

take him half PVR, that's fine. You could take PR. Would definitely take a job, that's fine. I mean he was still he was still great this year. In Who's Julio Jones finishes wide receiver three. As we mentioned earlier, if you you want to take him five, that's your pick. Yeah, all right, let's go with that. Julio Jones as safe as they come, getting a little up there in age, though it doesn't worry you at all. I think he's got three Matt Ryan and then boys with the Atlanta Falcons.

They still sling, still sling. I think he's got three or four really really good years left in him. I'm really surprised that, uh, there was a running back on the board there that you decided to pass up Alvin Cook. He's not as safe. I will not take Dalvin Cook in the half PPR. I mentioned this yesterday Kareem Hunt is going to be out in Cleveland. I am taking Nick Chubb at pick six for the reasons I mentioned yesterday. I ran through the analytical stats, uh, the avoided tackles,

the yards after contact. Nick Chubb is as great as they come. The Brown's offensive line wasn't great this year. Their offense overall wasn't great. Freddy Kitchens h did not do a good job. That's why he got fired. I expect they'll bring in a coach that again, this is a constant theme, like the Cowboys. A lot of these teams that fired fired their coach or are expected to hopefully could get the best out of their weapons. And I think that they can do that with Nick Chubb.

He is pick six for me Europe. For pick seven, then I would go with Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook it pick seven, Yeah, I think that makes sense. I mean I would go Cook before Chubb. But at six seven you could go at whichever you want. I think you can't go wrong there. So let's go to eight. Pick eight. Here meeting up a little Julio in your top seven. Julio, No,

he wouldn't be in my top seven. I would. I would take down I would take Dalvin Cook and Nick Chubb both over Julio and who who I'm about to take with pick eight, I would also take over Julio Jones, and that is DeAndre Hopkins. I just think that, you know, he's just as safe, but the touchdown upside is higher. I think he has a better quarterback into Shaun Watson, a little bit younger than Julio Jones as well, UM don't have to worry about injury concerns as Yeah. Yeah,

so I think you're literally splitting hairs. But for me, I think DeAndre Hopkins is a little bit safer, so I'll take him over Julio Jones at pick eight. You're up for pick nine. We have Zeke in the top eight already, right to see Yeah, c mc Zeke, Michael Thomas, say Kwan, Julio Jones, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, DeAndre Hopkins is beautiful to me. That great top eight, great top eight, nine, leven,

twelve gets tough. I this is where you could start thinking about lam On Jackson, but I wouldn't do it. Neither would I. I think only Greg suspens here if he's at home watching yelling at TV. What about Jacks? I mean, he's gonna be all of that. Um, I think I would go with who's the running back that I feel like? Alvin Kamara. I think that makes sense. He slid too far. You could argue that he probably

should go even earlier. But we had an extensive conversation about Kamara yesterday and how the touchdowns should bounce back for him heading into next year. We see who the quarterback is, whether it's Drew Brees, whether it's Teddy Bridgewater, if Drew Brees decides to retire, but Alvin Kamara, one of the most explosive running backs in the league, receptions in three straight seasons. Hard to argue with that war either this is where this is probably where the draft

really begins. I think that's the top nine all makes a lot of sense, and then you could pretty much just make the argument for like ten different players at this point. Now at this point to this is where things. It depends on where players on on their teams. Okay, because if now Melvin Gordon, he's gone, yeah, right, mostly like if he ends up in Kansas City, he's a first round pick. But I might even take Eckler before him. That makes sense too. If Eckler's alone on the Chargers.

Now Rivers probably is not there either. We're talking about a new quarterback. Maybe Tyrod Taylor is the backup. Yeah, that would be interesting, but I think Eckler. No matter what, Let's round out this top twelve. I'm gonna take Davanta Adams. He was my guy this year top ten pick. I'm going back to the well with Davanta Adams. I think once he returned from injury, you were reminded of the upside the target share of the air yards. I'll be

scoring touchdowns every single week. Once again, Davante Adams picked. You're up at pick eleven. We got one minute left. Let's round out this top twelve first round pick eleven, I am going to go with um Am I missing any wire receivers here, No, I'm gonna go with If Eckler is by himself in Los Angeles, I'll probably take Austin Ekeler. Austin Ekeler, Yeah, I mean, I don't think that Melvin Gordon is gonna be back with this team now, all the contract disputes that they had, they might bring

someone else in to compliment Austin Ekeler. But you saw many catches he had this year, how many receptions, how explosive he is as well. He's almost kind of like a mini Alvin Kamara right for the Los Angelos Chargers. So I think that makes sense. Pick eleven is Austin Ekeler, and I will round out the first round draft with my boy Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Bucks. All of the past volume. We'll see who the quarterback is next year. I think Godwin gets even better in year

two of Bruce Arians offense. Don't go anywhere. We'll be back with our New Year's resolution for fantasy football in you know, as an allergy, suffer your wired differently. I sure feel that way.

The last segment of nineteen, we rounded out our first round draft for a lot depends on a lot of things, though, like when we missed some guys like Mixing had a great year. Sobody mentioned on the chat. I think that he's gonna go in this area on the swing. But there's a lot of players that you're gonna be able

to make the argument. Just to recap, Christian McCaffrey first overall, Zeke Elliott, Michael Thomas, say, Kwon Barkley, Julio Jones, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, DeAndre Hopkins, Alvin Kamara, Davante Adams, Austin Ekeler, and Chris Godwin. Some players that just missed the cut. Maybe they should have been in this top twelve. What

say you? Let us know in the comments tweet at us at Road Underscore Frank at the Closer Fight seven, Tyreek Hill not in the top twelve here, Mike Evans not in the top twelve, Aaron Jones, no Joe Mixon, no Lamar Jackson, no Derrick Henry. There's a lot of players that you can make arguments here that should be in the top twelve. I think if you're drafting at the back end of the first round next year, it's it's I don't think it's that tough. I think there's

a lot of talent there. Look at all the players you know we just rounded up. I think there's legitimately twenty players that you can argue should be first round picks. I mean, Lamar Jackson could even be there. So. But here's my problem with it is that, you know, like the one receiver class, if you notice, it's all the shame guys. It all depends if they got hurt or not. The guys who got hurt fell off the board. Tyreek

Hill should be a first round pick. I mean when he came back, he kept doing what he was doing. All the best wire receivers stay the best wire receivers for years pretty much. I mean it's the same names over Nover, DeAndre Hopkins, Michael Thomas. We didn't even mention tight ends. You make an argument, I don't know, for Kelsey, Yeah, George Kittle, all right, Kelsey, you can make the orgum for earth No. Uh Kittle, Yeah you can. And I

brought this up to Greg recently. I really think come next year, the Miles Sanders hype throughout training is gonna it's gonna get crazy, and that's he's gonna end up being a borderline first round pick. I really do think that he's gonna get pushed up that far, and you might be right. That's the thing. That's why this is why I like to go wide receivers very early, because I feel like this safe and it's the same guys.

If you look, we're talking about the same guys. But if you look at running back Aaron Jones, uh Derrick Henry, these are all guys that cracked the top five. Now you want to drift him in the first round a little? Do you have a new Year's resolution? We got twenty seconds left Utah for fantasy. Don't be so hung up on PPR running backs. Yeah, there you go, don't you know? Go back to Derek, go back to Josh Jacob and

Nick Chung. He is the closer, Chris venture I am Frank sample Thank you so much for watching and supporting the BFFs throughout the twenty nineteen year. We even better in We Hope, We hope
