toilport to Las Vegas. By Van Strafford. This has been your Fantasy Sports Radio Network news update. Stay tuned to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for more updates at the top of every hour. Ladies and gents, this is the thank Thank Yeah, we are back. This is the BFFC Action Hour is live here from Studio thirty four. I am Greg susmen No, Frank Stanford, e y still in the house, Eric Young, what's happening? Man? Still loving tight ends? You know it's uh, it's it's a very treacherous position.

It has been for years. But hopefully this is going to help some people out. I know what helps me talking about it, looking at it, talking it through, listening to what you think it's. It's a good exercise to make you sharper in your drafts and that, Uh, let's keep the conversation going, Buddy, Absolutely so. Adam Schefter just reported during the program that Ezekiel Elliott if and when he gets a new contract. I thought the wording there

was very interesting. If and when he gets a new contract, he's back down to a lowest weight he's ever been at, or since his rookie season, in the low tow twenties of the one he reports the camp here be ready to rock. Maybe I'm reading a bit too much into this, Eric Boy, if and when he signs a contract. Chefter is plugged in. I'm with you, man, I know zeque Eliot's number one guy. He's not my number one, he's in my top four. I'm I feel a little bit

more confident in Iszekiel excuse me about Ezekiel Elliott today? Yeah, like you said, Schefter is definitely plugged in. And this is a guy that that lives and dies by his reputation of breaking news. He's not going to break news about Ezekiel Elliott and use the words if and when, unless it's it's coming, It's coming. Jerry Jones is going to pay this guy. He knows that Zack is in his in his rookie rookie contracts. Still, this is the last year he's gonna be able to stay on that.

The only time they're going to be able to probably afford both is this year. They're going to go for it. Jerry Jones is not a stupid man. He knows that, Um, they're gonna pay him. Ezekiel is gonna play and he's still my number one. Yeah, I'll read you the exact sweet while he's away. The Cowboys, Ekiel elliotts Wait is in the low two twenties lowest spenses his rookie years, per source. If and when the two sides can work

out a deal, Elliott be ready to go. If and when the sides two sides can work out a deal, it's not if it's it's when Ezekiel Elliott will be totally, totally good. This also comes from the Shorlotte Observer, who have been pumping up Curtis Samuel all off season, and not surprisingly here Eric cam Newton has been able to throw the deep ball more. There's a correlation there because he has someone to throw it too, that's Curtis Samuel. This connection certainly seems real or both Cam Newton Curtis

Samuel rising up your draft board. Yeah, Cam Newton is for sure. I feel like this is guy like guys like Kyler Murray and you know, we gut quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson stuff. Are being drafted in front of cam Newton, You're insane. Cam Newton has been one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the last five years. He was running the football when these guys were still in college. He's going to continue to the run the football. He's a massive guy. Uh. They're saying that they redid his his

throwing motion, which did worry me. But all the reports out of camp is that there he's looking the best he's ever looked. He will move up um for me um and for me, he's the best hybrid. He's not a guy that's great at throwing the ball, but we know he runs and he runs in the red zone and he's decent throwing. And having Samuel d. J. Moore, greg Olsen back and Kristi McCaffrey catching the ball, this is gonna be a potent offense. And Cam Newton is

gonna he's gonna pay dividends big time. Absolutely, I'm all in on Cam. I've said this a lot, that he's a quarterback that I'm actively targeting here in draft. He is my number six quarterback overall. He is a type of player that can win you leagues because he doesn't do everything with that shoulder and obviously with his legs, with that bold or that big frame, he's extremely extremely helpful. Now, we talked to Don moncreeve earlier in the off season.

They compared to James Washington whatnot. Now I didn't even realize this, but Don moncreave hadn't practice with the Steelers for about a week because he broke his finger. And as who James Washington was in that preseason game, this fight is really on. Maybe, as we've talked about Vance McDonald earlier, he's the one that steps up. But this Moncreave versus James Washington competition still seems to be going full of throttle. Yeah, And I think a couple of

weeks ago everyone was saying, for sure it's Moncrief's job. Um. Things that I've heard is that Washington is just not a good practice player. And this has happened before. We've heard from superstar players. I think I can remember a few years back saying Steve Smith was a guy that that wasn't a good practice player, would drop balls, would not be involved, and wouldn't be going hard or as hard as we were used to it. But when those lights come on Sunday, Steves is one of, if not

the most ferocious competitors in the NFL. Small guy, slight guy, but battled for the ball, caught balls over the mail, real, super tough, super resilient, could jump, could catch good run routes. He did everything. But this is the thing with Washington. Washington was draft high and we know something about Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh is good at finding wide receivers. These guys could both pay dividends. I can't remember who it was in our draft, but I think he went eight nine

or nine ten and picked them both. That could be a hell of a move at that level. Yeah, it was Day Martinez spitting speed. Yeah, host the friend Fantasy Freestyle. You can check that out later tonight, seven pms from time right here on fcs Y. And he wasn't sure which one he wanted, so he took both. And even if they don't both work out, it's eight nine, as you said, Eric, and he's like, hey, why not, I'm

guaranteed the second wide receiver. I'm not messing around. And we spoke earlier this week would you do that with Green Bay with Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdez Scanty. I said, I wouldn't do that, but as you said, it could ultimately a major major dividends if the second wide receiver of Pittsburgh has this season that many believe he ultimately could. We'll see what happens there in that situation with those

wide receivers. Now, I speaking wide receivers, I gotta be of Odell Beckham who has his hip injury and he's probably not gonna play in the second preseason game. And I get it. It's fine. You want your guys. Doesn't always feel like Odell is just always nicked up. Yeah, I mean, this is something that he's he This has been part of owning Odell Beckham is you're going to deal with this. Part of that, I think is he's He's just he's a soft player. He gets hurt, and

when he's hurt, he tells people. He lets everybody know around him. UM, and he has played her. I'm not saying that that he's weak or or he's not a competitor. When he's on the field, he's a competitor. But the reality is his injuries hinder this guy. He's always hurt. There always seems to be something wrong. I know I've owned him before in the past, and every week you're wondering is he gonna play, is he gonna start? Is is he going to play even for the rest of

the year. So this, I mean doesn't surprise me. He's a veteran UM. You know, they're probably just they're always gonna go on the side of caution and keep him out preseason is not that important. Um, I'm still I'm not going to move him anywhere, but this is something to watch and you're just going to deal with us all year with Odell Beckham. This is who he is.

Not ultimately moving him anywhere drastically. But for me, like I have Odell and Tyreekhill back to back, and I know frank and and Florio have Tyreek Hill once but higher than Odell Beckham. I get it. I get it. Maybe that's the only thing I would do, like you said, certainly not doing anything drastic. Do you want? We appreciate it is always a man. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Talk to you and the whimsical Brian Kendrick tomorrow. I can't wait for this. Yeah, it's give me an auction

draft show. I'm excited to hear what's going all his auctions and see what's going on. All right, So let's think a great We'll come back a lot of Betty stuff to get into. You bet you will join us too, Let's arap stick around. Hey, thanks for downloading the podcast, and remember if you want to listen live, download the I Heart Radio app, download the tune and app and just search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network and you could

You'll find us there. Enjoy the show and thanks for listening. Back with you here on the BFFs. Gregg Susman with you. Chris Ventures gonna join us in a little bit. I got a lot of netting stuff to get you, baseball football and the like.

Venture and I also draft back to back in the G S T League UH this weekend, So I'd like to get his thoughts on that. I'm very open book when it comes to this stuff. I find it interesting. And maybe it's because we've been doing this for a long time, all of us, and I played in a lot of fantasy leagues long before I was in front of a camera's talking about it. But I feel like I'm more of an open book than I've ever been.

Like when I have a draft, as I said, the Holy Draft on Sunday, it's an auction after the G S T and Venture and I, as I said, are back to back and like he's not hiding who he wants. I'm not hiding who I want. It's we're open books about this, and I think maybe that's just simply confidence in ourselves and who we want. And it is what it is, and the dominoes are going to fall where they may. But it's funny because for years, like I

would never tell anybody that, who do you want? Well, if you listen to the show, you'll find out exactly who I want, And especially in an auction, like I could tell you every guy that I want if you want a price and force me go right ahead. But I have never I at least this year, I've never have felt more passionate about it than I do. Now that you can know everybody what I want, you want to know exactly what I want. I sat here for five months talking about how much I like James Conner.

You know what. I sat with Ventra a couple of hours ago being like, all right, what are you doing at eleven? I have ten I need to figure out what I want to do in the second round, and he goes, well, I like this wide receiver, I like this running back. That's my plan And I'm very honest, like I could try to screw him over and lie to him and say, hey, in the at the tenth spot, I'm gonna take one guy that just swerved to throw him off his game. But like, why, I don't need

that upper hand. I am confident in my abilities. I don't know that Frank in my car, but I am confident in my abilities that there's no need to hide anything. There's no need to lie. It's all very very clear and transparent. And Jake used to talking about I know Florio did too, especially in his home league. He used to say, Oh, these guys, they go earlier because I want him. That's okay, Like fine, Like in a state draft, if people want to do that, I'm prepared for it.

I can go in a lot of different directions here. Um, I can go in many different ways. Scott Angele used to say, there's a million ways to win a fantasy league, and it's true, and he doesn't care about picks. He'd never be someone to trade up for a pick because he thinks he could win from anywhere and just because you know that he likes Cooper Cup and I'll never forget At the G S. T League a couple of years back, I went up to him and I flipp from the burn when I took Cooper Coup and he

doesn't care. It doesn't matter because there's a million guys that he likes. There's a million ways to win, so ultimately there's nothing to hide. And I think it's very, very honest, and I'm gonnaways going to be honest with you because I'm an open book and I'm an hide and I don't think you should be worried about it either. You like who you like, and there's never anything to worry about when it comes to um being secretive from

your league mates. It's all good. If you want to chime into that, well, feel free in our YouTube chat at Greg Susman on Twitter at Fantasy BFS. That's ultimately, all you need to do is just be honest, be clear in your fantasy leaves. You guys know me. You've been listening to me for for years at this point,

talk about these topics. And I'm a strategy type of guy, like I love having the strategy um conversations with you guys because I think they're almost more fun because I put this back in my ear, Um, i think they're more fun than sitting here and talking about oh, one guy versus one guy. We do that and it's a good conversation. And again, open book. I'm learning stuff constantly, or Frank will throw it out and Florio will throw

it out and e Y will throw it out. You see me, you sitting here, You see me staring deep into my computer, like, all right, move this guy now, because of an open book. I don't mind being the one that's going to sit here and tell you I don't know everything. I love sitting and chatting with you guys because you teach me stuff. When how many times have you told me, well this about this guy? And I'm moving just literally this morning talking about strategy, right, Florio?

Can I have the tenth overall pick the Sunday? And admittedly, I'm gonna be very clear, half of you guys listening play in our league. I want James Conner or Levy on Bell I have the tenth pick. Is that possible? I don't know, but I want that because mainly old yet be out of an argument with Florio and Frank. But also I like my team's gonna shape up a little bit more. And I'm telling you that straight up.

I want Levy on Bell or I want James Connor, and if I don't get those guys, everything's gonna have to change. So because of that, and I was trying to do contingencies and whatnot, I wound up looking more into Joe Mixon. And it's a guy that, as I pull up my notes here, it's a guy who I'm like. It was really much better than I thought. Last year. I talked about the brutalness of the offensive line and

it's not good. You look what Joe Mixon did in weeks twelve through seventeen seventeen doesn't count for fantasy whatever. Fine in week twelve, fourteen eighty nine, in week thirteen, twelve eighty two, Week fourteen twenty six carries for a hundred and eleven, Week fifteen twenty seven carries one twenty nine sixteen wasn't good. Against Cleveland, he had seventeen for sixty eight. Followed up against Pittsburgh in weeks seventeen with seventeen for one oh five. That stretched where he clearly

finally got healthy. It was really good when he was healthy early in the year. We swent in two seventeen for ninety five, twenty one for eighty four when Joe Mixon was healthy last year, he was really good. And you put a coach in there like Zach Taylor, who's going to utilize the talent that he has, seemingly better than Marvin Lewis and the cast of characters that he had as his coaching staff come around a lot more to Joe Mixon today than I wasn't any time previously.

In this off season, I looked at Joe Mixon, I looked at the offensive line, and I looked at the Bagel's offense, and it sucks. It's terrible. But Joe Mixing himself with that same brutal offensive line last year, it was really good. He had games last year, including the opener he had five receptions, seven targets from Andy Dalton. Later in the year in Week fourteen, where he had where he basically played every snap, five more receptions, six

more targets. If Joe Mixing is utilized in this role and he's utilized as a true bell cow, which I think he can, there's a lot to like with Joe Mixon. So the question became this morning between Frank Florio and I Joe Mixon versus Todd Gurley, and as anybody that reads um what Michael Florio says, or listening to our program, he's the girly guy because he believes that Todd Gurley has the ability to finishes the number one overall player.

Why because we've seen it. But the reason I'm now coming around of mixing and if Frank's listening is gonna love it's because the upside for Joe Mixon, I don't think he's capped. The upside for Todd Gurley is he's going to only have fifteen twenty carries per game or

fifteen twenty touches per game. Floria knows that his thought is like, that's fine, how Gurley is good enough, and it doesn't matter Joe Mixon when the six carries, I stare at twenty seven carries, I stare at he had two and thirty seven, or rushing attempts he had fifty five targets. There's more to go around with Joe Mixon. And if I believe Zach Taylor and I be leave this trend that if you know Sean McVeigh, you're going to get hired. And for the good reason. There's a

lot to like. Zach Taylor was a part of that crew that helped Todd Gurley have over two thousand rushing yards and over two thousand total yards rather and over thirty touchdowns over the last two seasons. Joe Mixon's falling down draft boards, and now I'm kind of wondering why there's major upside here. I know that Joe on Jerry's left guard. I know that losing the left tackle really

hurts his running game. But as long as he's on the field, and as long as Jeo Bernard is isolated, Joe Mixon is creeping right back in to this tier with Nick Chubb and Dalvin Cook. Admittedly, I had surpassing Joe Mixon, and I still do. I still have it Cook, and then I still have it Cook, then Chubb and then early Mixing. But they're all together, They're all in

that tire when it comes to this GST draft. I just don't I don't want to get involved, and I don't want to fight with my Teammate's not the issue ending this kind of segment on a strategy conversation. That's the issue. When you're in a league with partners. I love being able to talk about my partner's having somebody else that cares about my fantasy football league. But I

don't love that. I got Frank and one here. I got Floria, my heir, and I'm the one with the trigger and a year and no matter what I do, that I'm wrong, not so fun. Let's take a break, let me come back then move one of the gambling stuff. I want to talk to Chris Ventro a lot about tonight, a lot about some season totals as well gambling. The rest of the way.

You're joining up, joining me on the show. What's up? I'm glad to be back baseball.

It's going good. I think team previews. I'm kind of want to get pissed. And now at this point we've got two divisions left a f C West and you got eight more teams to go, eight more teams to go? So to weeks right after this? How many weeks we have it to the football season? If they're like too yeah, all right, so there's a good two weeks we could you know, free ranking? Absolutely? When can people listen to the Fantasy football Frenzy? Uh? You know F and T

s Y Sports Network on YouTube? You can search that. You can find this on audio? Are we on audio audio boom? Yeah? I'm talking about you know friends in particular, uh audio boom, iTunes wherever you can get you know, podcasts and stuff like that and videos, you know. And my my name on Twitter actually is the Closer th h E Closer seven. So if you want to find me there, I'm there. All right, there you go. That's

how you can find the Closer Chris Ventures. So, Chris, I have some I have some notes I wanted to go over with you. Are you ready? Yep? All right? So I have a the player and you let me know what the odds are to be the all purpose leader in yards the NFL this season. Okay, all right, you know you don't don't need who do you think the favorite is for all purpose yards se Kwan Barkley, Barkley, that's correct. The odds are uh plus to ten plus

three hundred plus three hundred, very good. Number one overall. Number two is purpose yards. Um, let's go with I would say Zeke, but I feel like that fell down number three. Okay, he's number three right there, you're right there. Can I say Julio Jones. You can't say Julio Jones. But he's not even the top ten? Wow? Purpose yuares you gotta run running back? Running backs mostly mostly running backs. In fact, there is only visually there. There's two more

receivers that are on here other than um Julio. Well, I said the only two right receivers on here total actually, the other one being probably there's not on it. There's two wide receivers that are on here. One of his interesting, you're never at it. One of them is Juju No, m hmm, what Dom Starry kill? Okay, he's got you a player. He returns punts rushes sometimes, right, that makes sense. He's plus eight hundreds. Not I've had batay at plus

sixteen hundreds. The other wide receiver, she's really tough. It's to get it is not like a first or second round pick, all right, Um, someone that rushes the ball potentially, I have no idea. I can't think of it. No, I can't think of anybody Tyler lock It because he rushes a little bit too, right, rushes a little bit, returns kicks, gets big yardage play really interesting, right, Yeah, that makes me want to buy into Tyler hocket in fantasy, isn't it. I mean, if they're saying that, you know,

probably gonna have a lot of odds. He is the go to receiver on the Seahawks. So, but you're right, running backs all the gold purpose guys, so Kamar has gotta be up there. Camar is in the top the four running backs you drafted between in your first four in your fantasy leagues, there one through four, it's Arkley, McCaffrey, Zeke, and Alvin. Kamara was the first four. Then the next your running backs you're probably gonna draft Dvid Johnson, Leavy

on Bell. They're both there at plus seven hundred. I mentioned Tyreek Hill and Tyler Lockett. Um two other players in to the top ten, Todd Gurley at plus dred. I mean he can do it. I don't think he will. It's not good bet your boy plus two thousand, my boy Cohen, Yeah, you're talking about him on the Frenzy today. I think he's the best pass catching back in the league right now. Plust two thousands, I got some I got some other stuff for you here, mhm. The odds

to win. We're doing this for Frank a lot here on the program as of late, and that is NFC North, the odds to win the division. What do you think is the favorite when the NFC North? I would say, right now it's the Bears' is the Bears? What the odds are? I would say plus one out of of course? What percentage of bets if your bet any on the they on the teams to win the division? What percentage of bets is coming in on the Bears appared to the other teams in the North. Yeah? Uh, what percentage

coming in the basins? I would say less than fifty Yeah, really sixty five percent? That's high. The bets are coming in on the Bears to win the NFC North, I guess because plus one eighties and pretty good eyes. It is pretty good eyes. It's pretty good odds for a team that we went told him foolish. It is the favorite. So the second favorite of Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers, get it to plus one nineties. They're basically even. Only sixteen percent of the bets are coming in on the

Green Bay Packers. Fifteen percent it's coming on the Minnesota Vikings, which is plus two ten. Those three teams very bunched up, right. They have the lions in the cellar here plus twelve. Yeah, no one's bet that I would not. I would, I would. I would take the Vikings plus to ten. I mean, the best odds, and they I think they have just much of a shot to win division, especially as much as the Packers. They might even be better than the Packers.

I mean, Rogers is the one X factor there for for the Packers, and then major factors the major X factor. But the Vikings got everything else. The defense. They gotta beat on defense. Theyve gotta beat on my receivers. They Mike simmer has got en nothing to lose this year. Well, he has a lot to lose. No, John, He's gonna go all out. He's like not holding anything back here at this point. Yeah, he's gonna go for the gold. You know, he's gonna run people to the ground if

he has to. Literally is they're only gonna run the ball. You run the ball a lot. Uh. But and the Bears plus one eight, I mean that's close plus one plus two ten. I mean Bears are the smart money. I think the Vikings win this division though, I really do. All right, So there you go. Now to what do I have next for you here? Okay, so we talked for all purpose yards. We talked about at the NFC North. It's you know, the preseason for tonight Eagles and Jaguars. Tonight,

well spread hold one tonight spread his three points. Okay, he got wind. Uh Eagles, I was I would say the the Eagles are the favorite. They're not, okay because they're probably benching starters. Well, well, I mean they're in Jacksonville. What that means anything that? Yeah? Uh, Nate Southern fella is gonna play a lot tonight, no doubt for Philadelphia for Jacksonville. I'm interesting to see if Nick Foles plays. You do not play the first preseason game, he should

play in this one. I think you will, Yeah, because you want to see what you got in your new quarterbacks with your new players, you know. So I would so that in that case, if Nick Foles playing and Wentz is not. Yeah, so the minus three makes sense. Then for the Jaguars, the percent of the bests on draft kings on the Eagles coming on the Eagles. That's weird, interesting, right, Yeah, you were not looking at the Eagles regular season team here, you know, of course not. And the Jaguars defense real

they're gonna play a good portion. Now, Joe Ronieri was talking about there's this morning on Make It Rain. He was saying that the line moved more so than any other line this week or today. Now, I don't see that on really, I don't really see that. I see. I mean they opened Jacksonville has a three point favorite. They I don't really see that. I'm looking. I thought it was interesting the game total. This one's thirty four. You going over under? Well, I hear a theory that

it's good to go under in most preseason games. So I would say, un all right, most of the bets here for this game are coming in over. Most of the money itself is coming in on the understand of the money. Yeah, it's coming on the the the big Fisher been on the huh. But the majority of the Bets coming on the over. Interesting. That is interesting. Another one Jets and Falcons tonight. The Falcons here in this one are a two and a half point favorite. Okay,

there will be no Julio Jones, no, Maddy. Are we sure about that now, Mandy Ice? I'm pretty sure? All? Well, were you? Were you going to say that or you're just saying Holy John Julia Johns? Probably no Davonte Freeman, right. I don't know about Havin Ridley yet. Okay, I would think he plays leaving Bell played on it. You're gonna see Sam Donald. He didn't see Lavan Bell last week. I don't know if you'll see Bell, and if you do, I think you see him for a very limited very

limited Yeah. How long did Donald places for half? Does he get that far quarter? A quarter? If he gets that far quarter? So this spread open at point and a half. It's now up to two. Okay. I don't like the Jets. They lost the Giants, so they're plus two the Giants. The Jets, Yeah, lost lost the Giants, but well we see its beens where you're looking. Vandal right now has it at two and a half. Most

sports folks in Vegas having it too. That means probably won't get into facts before it goes up to two and a half, right, right, right? I like, I'm with you. I like the Jets plus two because if Donald's gonna start a quarter, that could be a huge lead, right, especially if ever seen only Matt Shop. Yeah no, no, Matt Ryan. Matt Shop hasn't really looked great either. The other the other quarterback though for the Falcons, actually looked

good in the last preseason game. Who's competing for the job? I forget who the name? Uh? Someone younger that might you know, played out? You might beat out job. Yeah, a veteran because we know we're getting from Shop, you know. All right? Let me uh, let me continue here, and the next game up tonight is to Ravens and Packers. Ravens are a three and a half point favorite at home against Green Bay. No Iron Rodgers, No Aaron Rodgers. Is there anyone else guaranteed out tonight? I don't. I

don't think Aaron Jones is playing. That's all I got for you, Okay, Yeah, so I would do the Ravens. Yeah minus three and a half of minus three. Uh, let's see so here it opened at three and a half on most sports books it's at three and a half. The vandal sports book hasn't it three and a half as well. I don't like minus three and a half and half. I don't like the hook. I don't like the hook. I would buy the point to get minus frees. Heasons this is what it's coming, Sason. But I would

never bet preseason. I'm not gonna lie, not that guy. No, not unless I see something glaring right, like you know, three of the like the triplets on the Falcons not starting, then me like, I bet the Jets because Donald's gonna play for Florida. But in most circumstances, most circumstances, uh, you know, I would not touch the preseason because you don't know what could happen. You know, you've got old second string, third string guys playing. Anything could happen, really,

anything really could happen. But you know these coaches, the coaches caring more than anybody. Oh yeah, so I want to dive into these coaches with you a little bit, and we're trying to predict based on that. Sounds good? All not more coming your way. This is the BFFs here on the Fantasy Sports Nework. He's christ I'm Greg will take you the top stick are out more all

We're back BFS Fantasy at Sports Network's Chris Ventra. I am Dragon Sumerica. All right, Chris, one more preseason game. He gets you, and I want to focus on the coaches now right. You got Jacksonville and Philadelphia, two better head coaches, Marone Peterson. Take away from there. Daniel's rediscue is interesting. You got Zach Taylor, J. Gruden. The rescue has got stopped last week offense, really bad on offense, Zach Taller, young fresh, nobody expecting anything in the Bengals tonight.

Let's do it half in Washington. How they do in the in Week one though, Bengals. I don't have all the answers. I don't have that answer. Didn't that one? Actually have no idea's preseason Week one the Bengals. Let me see here, they played the Chiefs. That probably didn't go well, right, maybe it did. I probably didn't know, all right, the Ravens, So I know the Redskins got smashed three ten't yeah? They lost. The Browns lost the Browns, the Browns and Browns, right, yeah, the Bengals here, I

don't have. I don't have that. It's a Redskins block. I hold up, so go go me here, um, because hey, I just type it in and all right, whatever it doesn't it does Pust two and a half. The Bengals lost thirty seventeen. There there there, They're now the over for sure, like the Bengals tonight, exact all over Jake plus two and a half. Why not because Zach Taylor has Is it because of Zach tail? Yeah? Motivation, little motivation for him to get a little win in preseason

in his first taste of victory. Think, all right, yeah, I like it because the Redskins, uhmic offensively Packers you got Matt Lafleur, John Harball and he says anything about Lafleur. We like the Ravens, we said jetson Falcons. Adam Gaates doesn't give a crowd And here was damn Quinn m And now he gets to it. Now he gets to it the last game of the Night Raiders. You know John Gruden cares more about this than anything. Yeah, yeah, nothing, I was going for you. He just needs to win.

You got the Cardinals of the Cliff Kingsbury who also wants to put up a crapload of points on the board, show off his offensive genius. You got to imagine this game is going over the number right forty? No, shouldn't we go to opposite? You go on over? Damn, there's no defense in this game. I mean, Murray's gonna play more than he played last week right through what seven passes? How many pasts do you think he throws this game? Um, a lot? At least double fourteen? Okay? Four? Right? Right?

So you gotta like that for the car No, yeah, man, only minus one? Right? And the Raiders have nothing you seeing. Harround's not playing, so I'm not to get to that. His feet are not playing. It's an interesting we haven't seen Josh Jacobs Tyrrod Williams at all in Hard Knocks. It's so weird. I don't well you you told him. I think you told me that Josh Jacobs said that

he doesn't want to be told me that. Well, I guess somebody told me that that Josh Jacobs doesn't want to be on camera or he doesn't want to be shown on the show. Arizona put up seventeen points in a week one the preseason against the Cardinals, Sorry, the Chargers, the Raiders. It's one. Yeah, it's the Rams, right, I need more? Hell man, alright, fine, you want to take the over? I would go with minus one of the lock, which last time was the Lions who got stopped by

New England. Yeah what over forty, it's lock, that's your lock over forty. Will say this, The total game total opened at forty one across the boards now at thirty nine and a half. So everybody's oh no, everyone's are everyone's So you want to go against the grain, all right, whatever? I like Arizona minus one. I would bet that that game actually really interesting. That gave Chris opened at three. It's now all the way down to one. Scare you

everybody's on the Raiders. Everybody's on the Raiders, I think because the hard knocks maybe though Gruden, you know, and Gruden wants to crush people's dreams, like Cliff Kingsbury, I'm sure, and Kyler Murray, but I don't think there's just not enough there. You're not you know, you don't have Antonio Brown playing. Uh. The only thing I can think of is Josh Jacobs maybe having a big day. But otherwise Arizona has Kyler Murray throwing the ball fifteen times, maybe

running it a couple of times. I think they get a nice little early lead and hold it because the Raiders don't come much after that. Will you be watching three seasons tonight? I will watch the the Falcons Jets probably a little bit. I want to see Darnel. What do I say, Darneld Donald Donald? Yeah, I think it's French for some reason. Darna like Travis darn Now like Travis darn Now. Um. Maybe I'll watch a little bit of the Radus Cardinals too. I want to see murraye

that offense. Listen, I were thinking everything we could get. I got too many fantasy drafts this weekend. We got one back to back, saying next to each other on Sunday, how do you feel about that? It was this year two for you? And just this is year two. Year one. I got destroyed. Um, I come into an expert's league and I just got you know, I got yeah, throw thrown through the ring of Uh. This year they coming a little stronger. But I do have a co manager.

This year I have a partner. This yow you got you can still have not been on the same page. No, we have not, and we we discussed it. I know. I like that. We're very open about it, spoke about it. Uh. He wants he wants to go a certain route in the draft. He wants to go wide receiver, war receiver. I kind of want to go wide receiver running back at that eleven spot because you know how I like to do. I would like to get Julio Cook, but

that might not work out. You got to pick before us, so and you told us your plan very honest, I say before in the show, very honest, with nothing to hide to you. Yeah, I mean you're before me, so you're gonna get who you want. And you're telling me you're being very honest. I'm being very honest. Yeah, yeah, that's what I want. And if I don't get him too fine. I mean, you know, we're having fun, but it is a big money league. And uh, I never had a co manager really before in any fantasy never,

so this is the first time Steve. So you know, we gotta why did you take a co manager? Well? I told Steve about the league and he's like, oh, I want to be Like he kind of came to me and he was very aggressive about it, like, oh, you want to co manage it. I was like, yeah, it's three right, so I'd rather split that. Yeah, sure, and I'm sure I'll be able to make most of the executive decisions. Why do you say that Steve is very into it. I mean it was originally my team,

you know, originally doesn't matter. He's gonna pay a hund in sixty dollars? What if I pay? What if I paid um the extra twenty? He pays one fifty, I pay one seventy. Now I'm executive. I don't know, executive on I don't know. That's pretty fair. It's gonna be really interesting seeing you guys in the draft, because you know, I've drive a million teams at this point with Frank a million teams in Floria, and you guys still sometimes

have situation all the time. I mean, he hated when we drive when you saw us yesterday, I argue about early. So it's gonna happen. Steve's done it before. It seems very passionate about his guys, and we're both were gonna be live there. You're just gonna be there because Frank's not right, but they'll be I'm sure texting you and well Frank, I don't know, Floria will be texting me Florial definitely. But the thing is, you got three pet

that's tough. Three You've got three different opinions, only one guys there, So you're gonna be holding in the reins ultimately my choice. Yeah, absolutely, I mean, listen, Steve's got a plan to try to throw off the BFS two. Really, Oh yeah, what's that? I'm not We've been very honest with each other. I know, I know it's I'm not sure what it's playing is. That's the thing. He wants to throw you off somehow. I'm going to do that because it's just you, they're not Frank. So he wants

you guys to get off your game. Since you're picking before us too. So that's why I brought Stephen as a secret weapon to bring me down to earth a little bit, because I'm a little delusion about certain guys, uh specifically Kenyan Drake. You know, this guy's I love and I will take them no matter what. Ronald Jones, and I need him to like, you know, basically keep me level. This is uh. So last year the draft

was held on a Saturday. It was Saturday, August, so next weekend, right, what we're drafting this one week early on Sunday to Sunday, It's right, So that was a year. I got engaged immediately following the GSD draft last year. So my heart was not in. My heart was not in the draft, but you were Frank with it together, left together, and I eventually I was liked Frank, I I gotta go. I got Yeah. You left early. Yeah, man,

I don't remember I left. I mean, listen, I made like the first twelve picks I left, I missed last four whatever, whatever. But it was a year to the day got engaged. G ST draft day. Yeah. Wow. I think we all got engaged around the same time too, a wedding day yet. Yeah, February going boar boar, Yeah, for a wedding. I didn't realize it was official. Yeah, it's booked. What um, I think it's a second week of February. You know, I don't know. Yeah, she did it.

I don't do anything. I don't do anything for that. See here, you could be getting married on my birthday. Possibly today is a Saturday night you're getting married, or any game we're going. We're going for almost two weeks. We're only getting married one of the days. So you're going after the super Bowl? Yes, yes, I definitely after the super Bowl. The whole football season has to play out. Yeah, football, let's see. Yes, the super Bowls probably earlier this year

because yeah, it's all the seconds year. Good. Yeah, it's usually second, right, Yeah, it's usually first Sunday. This year happens to be the seconds. Ye're good? Um, all right, So it's gonna be fun, No stress, don't have to worry about the catering and all this. That also kind of your honeymoon. Yes, that's that's the whole thing, exactly. It's all in one's just you guys. You bring your families or what. No, but her mother did want, she said she wanted to come with just me and her

and her mother. I was like, no, that's not that's gonna be hard of it. Yeah, I said, I was a hard no. And Christina she's she gave a hard note on that as well. So it's just be us too, because we don't want to stress about a wedding. The whole my whole theory on weddings is like, why is it so stressful for the people that are actually getting married? Beyond stressful? Beyond stressful. You have to worry about all this thing money, blah blah blah, and you gotta make

everyone happy. It was the food good? Is this good? Who wants to deal with that? Right? So I think the new way of the wave of weddings should be going away, making a honeymoon in one and you know, one of those days you just it's right, it's just one day where you're just you and herror and you do a little ceremony, you have a little priest or whatever, and you're on the beach and it's beautiful and it's over quick. There's nobody else they're watching. That's pretty awesome.

I think that's fun. I kind of kind of like that, what are you doing. What are you doing? Freaking you're doing this thing and everyone's fighting. Okay, cool, it's November as soon, yes, very eighties six days away or something like that. Are you nervous I'm nervous about I mean I already said yes, I'll be honest, I get nervous about family, all families coming together one arena or one place. I don't really get so I noticed that this process, Like I don't really get stressed out, is what it is.

Like She's like all of stress, usually the women, and especially like especially after the fight happensteen us between somebody going on. She like she like wears it on her sleeve, like the next couple of days, within within seconds, Like you watch TV TV. I can't think about this right now. What you doing? We got shows to watch? Yeah, you know you can't let that get to you. But I do worry about a lot of people because my family's crazy.

Family is a little crazy coming together. Yeah, exactly, coming together. I mean it's a problem. In the engagement party, it was a good time, but you know, you had your issues. I underlying people embarrassing. Mother embarrassed me. You know what she doing, she made she made a she made a quick speech, and it made me dance to a song

with Christina. It was nice, and I was whacked. I was so whacked that I didn't even like I don't remember what she said, but if I, if I was remotely sober, I would have been completely embarrassed, because she is embarrassing both of the mothers in particular, very embarrassing. Funny, It's very very funny. All right, like two minutes left. Um, I think this is dead. So what can they want to hear anything? You just you just let me know

what it's having to get out of here. Yeah, I got you right, I know we got like two minutes or so. This thing is totally dead. So, um, all right, we got a couple games tonight that's run through him quickly. Uh. We start in Philly, the Phillies and the coach Drew Smiley, you Darvish tonight H plus one twenty six for the Phillies and Drew smiling interest. Drew smiling now. Uh, Indians and Yankees Yanks going with the opener Adam Pluco for the Indians. Okay, total was ten and a half. It

was pitching side of Yankees. Chad Green is the is opening. I don't know who's the book like Esta Cortez. Uh, I guess I would touch the Yankees? What are they? Yankees are? Minus one fifty four? All right, my best better the night over Adam Pluto overs the shat Green Yankees, Indians. We're going over ten and a half tonight. You can work. That's good. Over to Night Cardinals and Red Sunny Gray. Michael Waka raised her a heavy favorite minus one sixty

total that a half, not touching it minus one six. Agree, I'm not touching that. Yeah. Uh. Mets and Braves. Everyone's talking about how the Mets have to win this one. Marcus Stroman hash to step up well, the Braves taken Home and the last Night's debacle by Seth Luga, who's pitching for the Braves, Julio teara yes, I will take the Mets. Be'st bet, that's bet. That's better. The night's play I can't even know. The music is just about the storm starting the music? Alright? Why are they Eric

Here's what you missed on the BFS. But number two for me is George

Kittle of San Francisco. I know he's battling a bit of an injury year, but Kittle really came to his own last year and a little bit younger than Travis Kelsey, a little younger than with these other guys are really like Kittle, Eric, He's my number two tide end. Yeah, Kiddles, number two for me as well, love George Kittle, been high on him since he came into the league, huge year in San Francisco last year. I think he will regress. There will be a bunch of other past catchers there,

none of which they had last year. Healthy Jimmy Garoppolo should help. Um. But I think that they're gonna they're gonna distribute this ball far and wide, And I don't think there's going to be a number one fantasy option really anywhere in San Francisco because there you're game in the game, you're not gonna know who's gonna get the targets, and they're not gonna know. They're gonna kind of do it as as they feel, very West Coast offense style, spread the field, throw the ball all over the place

kind of thing, and and throw it to the running backs. Um. But yeah, I got I got Kitttle. He's definitely my number two, a guy that I'd be super happy to get in the third, fourth, fifth round. Yeah. Absolutely, Where he's going around that number makes a lot of sense.

And I think you're right. You look at this for Niners offense and there is no clear number one wide receiver, number two, number three, whatever, We talked a lot about Dante Pettis this offseason, especially because Frank loves him, and all the news coming out of San Francisco is that we don't know what role Donte Pettis is ultimately going to play in this Four Nighters offense. There's one short thing in that is George Kittle. I think it makes

the conversation even more interesting. Eric, is that with Kansas City, Like, yeah, Travis Kelsey is amazing, but you also have Sammy Watkins, you also have Tyreek Hill, you also have Damian Williams. We're all going to get receptions out or from Patrick Mahomes. It's a better offense. I'm not trying to argue that San Francisco, like you have Dante Pettis and Ebo Samuel

and Marky's Goodwin and like awesome, right, like cool. George Kiddle is four and away the number one guy to me if you're looking at draft, I just got a vacuum here and I have to take Travis Kelsey in the second round or I can get George Kittle close to the fifth. I'm absolutely taking Kittle. Yeah, I mean

I wouldn't mind Kidle in the fifth. Um what worries me is that Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't the quarterback when he was when he was getting all these numbers if you look, I mean, there was a connection there, but it wasn't like the one with mullins Um. So the reality is is is we don't really know. We know that this offense is going to be decent. U we I'm pretty sure they're going to stockpile fantasy points. UH love the coaching staff, love the coordinator. UH like a lot of

the pieces. But the reality is is we don't know. We don't we We've never seen these guys play together. And you can't just say, oh, well, he caught a bunch of balls last year and that's what's gonna happen. It's a different team offensively.
