Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul church In my co host this week. Very happy to have both of my typical co host in one place at one time. That's Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hi,
should we should mention Scott Fish? Who's I know, we just haven't had scotten two months months, but he's super busy with what's doing X right now? That's gonna be pretty big deal. He's Scott Fish bowling right now. I saw he got Shane Batty a Shane Batty Scott Fish today he's in the Scottish Bowl to have a team. Yeah. So, is uh the the guy from that thing you do that movie that was a long time ago and I don't know which that is? No, that guy Hanks? Is
he still in quarantine? By the way? He did? Uh, he's good, he did it is fine. He came home after Australia. He did like an SNL from his living room, or so he didn't he So, yeah, apparently he's okay. The next four shows are going to be everything you need to know about two of the divisions, each of the teams, and two the divisions of the NFL. We're going to do the a f C East from the
NFC East this week. That means we're going to analyze how this offense operates and then identify the riskiest downside players to draft based on their average draft position. Who's got the who's got the possibility moving of actually finishing the lowest compared to their ADP, and who has the most upside compared to their ADP. Who's the guy who's going at a moderate level right now or a low level right now, but has the chance to have the
most upside. So we'll answer those questions for all eight of the teams and the a f C East and the NFC East. It's kind of quick fire on these guys. Yeah, we begin in the a f C East and we begin with Brian and his new and I think most passionate team, the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, the Bills are gonna be a ton of fun. We kind of touched on some key members last week. Go through them again real quick. Stephen Diggs, the big free agent offseason acquisition wide receiver
of course. Uh, rookies coming in. Zack Moss, running back drafted in the third round. Uh. Some wide receivers we won't mention. Gabriel Davis and Isaiah Hodges. Um you just mentioned, you just mentioned mentioning him, actually typed out their names. So I decided to mention them. You're the first person outside of the Buffalo media guys that's actually typed their names. Okay. Who I won't mention is the quarterback from Georgia the rookie.
Won't mention that dude anyway. Uh, kicker talk. They drafted a kicker Buffalo, the kicker league. So sixth round pick Tyler Bass out of Georgia Southern. But always thought about the running backs. Steven Singletary, Zack Moss. Devin Singletary is going in the fourth round. He is your biggest downside risk by far. Only three carries inside the ten yard line last year eighteen for Frank Gore, eleven for Josh Allen. That brings us to Zack Moss, Who's ADP. We were
all were we were gushing over him last week. He's already gone up two rounds since then. So the time is now to buy Zack Moss, who's going now in the thirteenth round around the hundred and six overall pick. He's gonna get all of Frank Um, all the Frank Gore touches inside the red zone eight. If you just all I need listen, I don't even care if Zack Moss doesn't get another carry. If he gets eighteen carries this year and they're all inside the five, he could
be sitting on a ten touchdown season. I don't even need him to get another carry out of this season. And again he's been heralded as a five pound back. He will trucks. That's usually a pretty easy tackles. That's lighter than my dog. My bad on around, you run through, you make you miss, catch the ball, pass protect um, blow away in the way he's gonna Yeah, well he's gonna prot some wait before the season start. It's probably about two pounds a little twound short there, But Zack
Moss your highest upside guy for sure. Eve been Stefon Diggs, John Brown. It's gonna be an exciting offense in Buffalo. It is could be exciting. I could go on and on, but yeah, Josh Allen of course not very accurate, but mobile threat. But and the big arm, I mean, you know, and he's got two receivers that can get down field.
And so I think you're gonna have a lot. I think you're gonna have a lot of deep passing to impart set up the running game between those between Singletary and just hope Allen can be accurate, because this deep pass accuracy is terrible. Diggs will help improve on those numbers. I feel. Yeah, if there's anybody who's just the character is just perfect running and catching the football, Okay, alright, um yeah. The one downside for Buffalo from a fantasy
football perspective of is the defense is pretty good. It's too bad they don't have an awful defense, because then they'd just be lightened up the scoreboard, Like I think they're gonna try to score anyway. They will, but they won't they won't necessarily be meeting points that they have in the past when they couldn't score any all Right, So the riskiest player to draft is Devin Singletary. The players got the most upside, yeah, Zack Moss and I'm ercent.
Don't touch Devon Singletary basically is my recommendation. I traded Devin Singletary in an Empire League to our friend Ryan Boser not too long ago for Keenan Allen. Straight up, Wow, did I get a good deal? Did I get a bad deal? Because I had a little bit of regret letting go of Devin Singletary. This was prior to the draft, though. I just don't like. I don't like Keenan Allen. I can't even tell you his quarterback is gonna be, So I don't love that deal. Miami, Matt, let's go there.
Tell us about them, the new look Miami offense. So they had a lot of additions this offseason. UM, and that's good because UM A lot of it stems from the offensive line being Pro Football focuses thirty second ranked out of thirty two offensive lines in the league. So they addressed that with Eric Flowers, Austin Jackson at the eighteen pick and Robert Hunt at the thirty ninth pick. So U two guys in the top thirty nine and then Eric Flowers, he's upgrade on nobody, nobody, No, he's awful?
Is he? An upgrade on JaMarcus Webb, who left. Maybe maybe, but not like you can't know, because at best you could be a lateral move from awful to awful. Maybe The only thing Eric Flower is gonna address is an envelope if she wanted to. You know, they don't even let him have an email address. Erech email h Jordan Howard Matt Brita joined the team as running backs and to a tag of Viola looa. I'm never going to get that name perfectly correct hashtag to uh who was
picked with the fifth pick. So the thing about the Miami offense is a dps are so low on every player. There's not really a guy with that much risk. The highest player in a DP according to Fantasy Pros Consensus ADP is DeVante Parker, who's going at sixty two, so you don't have to take him to the sixth round, right, and he was. He was a top ten fantasy wide receiver last year in the second half, and he was. He had seventy two catches for over yards and nine
touchdowns last season. Basically is the only option. From November on. Preston Williams tours a c L In November, the Dolphins are hopeful that he returns by week one, but there's not guarantee there. So while DeVante Parker is just the highest on the board, I think that's what makes him the riskiest. But there's not really that much risk this guy. Um. The biggest upside I think is the combination of both
of the quarterbacks. Um, you got to a who's going at quarterback right now and Ryan Fitzpatrick going at quarterback twenty nine and they're basically going in like the eighteenth round of redraft leagues right now. So what about a handcuff situation where you've got both quarterbacks. We saw Fitzpatrick be a very serviceaball uh fantasy quarterback last year. And they're always behind it, they're always passing. Well, that's that's
the thing. Is Stupird through the ball thirty five or more times in nine of his last eleven games, had seven games of over two seventy five yards in that span. Six of those games had multiple touchdowns. Baby, He's single handedly ruined the Dolphins tank for two US and they still got Yeah, thank you watching. So, especially if you're in a best ball league, I really like the idea of getting to h and Fitzpatrick both in the same thing.
The whole team. I mean, you get Parker cheap, and then you you handcuff Preston Williams to him in Best Ball that you can get Howard and bred it cheap. I love the whole team in best Ball, you can get them. Dolphins are a there a fantastic do the opposite team for their running back? Um, yeah, Matt Brita is going above Jordan Howard, right, get that. I don't understand that at all. Howard scored six times on the ground in only ten games. Last steer for the Eagles
had nine touchdowns in the previous two years. Matt Britas scored six times on the ground in his career, So the touchdowns are gonna go to Howard. It's this he's the fastest running back thing that that keeps popping up like he's the fastest clocked running back last year, so everyone's always like, okay, Yeah. The other guy that's kind of interesting is Mike GASSICKI I've seen him go up quite a bit in UH and and in our auctions
and stuff. A lot of interest in him. UH. In five of his last six games he was targeted seven times or more and scored all five of his touchdowns from week twelve on. So people are really excited about Mike Gassicki coming in on his third year, finally figuring out the offense and getting ready to be that next Mark Andrews kind of guy. When you, Matt, divvied up the teams that we'd each be talking to talking about.
You gave me the team that ranked thirty first in in total yard thirty feet and points per game and dead lack in total yards per game. And then the other team you gave me ranked dead last in points per game and thirty one in total yards per I wanted to make it easier. Thank you for giving me the Jets and the Redskins. Okay, so let's let's talk
Jets first. This is a completely retooled offensive line in wide receivers, potentially five new starters from last year's offensive line, five new which ranked and pass blocking and and run blacking last last year. They spent a first round pick on Mackay peck Beckton from Louisville, and then center Connor McGovern was signed from Denver. Right tackle is going to be a battle between two different guys, including George Fan
from Seattle Greg Van Roten was also added. He could push Brian Winters at right guards so effectively they will have no less than three new starters on the offensive line for the Jets, and up to five. Now that means it's going to take time to gel that offensive line, even if even if there's a talent upgrade. And by the we don't even know that. Most of these guys aren't aren't proven, and aren't good. We don't even know if there really is a talent upgrade. But if it
does come, it's going to any time to gel. That worries me about this, plenty of time in training camp O crap. Both outside receivers are new this year, Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims. Both guys are cut from the same cloth. They run fast, they run straight, and they don't do a lot else. Pairman's games developed a little bit over the years, but Mims was used almost entirely as a run straight, go route vertical receiver last year Baylor,
and that will probably be the case here. So they are going to be It's all about the deep speed on the outside receivers. So how does this whole Jets offense function well with Perriman and Mims looking for these deep balls. The question is can Sam Donald deliver these deep balls, because that's what these receivers want to do. Last year he was brutal as a deep ball passer. He completed He threw fifty one deep balls. Of the fifty one he completed fifteen. He's just gotta stop smooching
with everybody is smooching with my sister. His deep ball passer rating was seventy five, which put him behind Eli Manning is on deep ball passes for for Sam Donald, he was behind Eli Manning, Mason Rudolph and wait, wrong one nothing not trump bone, Oh the duck, the duck behind It wasn't it could have been, It could have been worse. Many apologies, Stephane Hodges. Or it was, in fact Duck Hodges a better deep ball passer and Mason
ro Rudolph. By the way, Duck Hodges, Eli Manning and Mason Rudolph all benched at various times last year, and they were all a better deep ball passer than Sam Donald. Now I'd like to say that Donald's deep ball is gonna get better this year, and his arm string is good enough to do it. But this offensive line might not give him the chance, so it might not matter. Jets called the seventh fewest runs last year, which also tells me that they like to get a passing game going. Um,
but I don't know that they can. I don't know that they can do it. Levy On Bell figures to get the majority of the work. But they added depth that they did not have last year. They added Frank Gore, they added Lea Michael p Ryan in the fourth round, and I think if you look back through Adam Gaze his career, he's been more of a running back by committee guy. Last year they said, have anybody else to carry the ball, so they gave levy On Bell the
vast majority of the carries. Last year, the Jets ran for the league's worst yards per carry as a team, three point three. That's it. There's nothing to like here, really, So who's the riskiest Jet by a DP? Even after last year's brutal season, Levian Bell is still going off the board at pick forty one. That's still too high. He's he's a year older, he's got far more competition for carries this year, and his rebuilt offensive line starting from ground zero, he can still go down from pick
forty one. The biggest upside guy I believe is Denzel Mims, whose average draft position is pick number four. He's seventy first wide receiver going off the board, and that makes Denzel Mims almost free. When we'll take a break. When we come back, let's talk about the new look New England Patriots. Now obviously without Tom Brady. What can we expect from that offense? And it's it's been twenty plus years since we've had to talk about a really different
looking Patriots offense. We'll find out about that when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you, were breaking down eight different teams fantasy style in quick action and identifying the one player who has the riskiest downside and the one player in each team that has the most upside. We shift now to the new England Patriots way for reason to believe there'll be a change of quarterback. Yeah,
I'm more interested in the change of kicker. Stephens no longer kicking, foot punching for the Patriots. After fourteen years they to draft did a kicker. I'm looking at the Pills and the Patriots. I'm like, what do you drafting kickers? So justin Roar Vasser out of Marshall. Okay, if you're in a kicker league you like Patriots kickers, that's your guy. Um in the draft of Patriots also drafted two tight ends, Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene. I'm starting at the tight
end position. They'll compete with Matt Lacosse. I don't advocate drafting any of these guys and redraft, so we'll move on to another guy that I'm not going to advocate drafted and redraft, and that's the quarterback now, Jared stid Him, who Fantasy Pros has as quarterback thirty one right now, basically to Rod Taylor is the only starting quarterback getting drafted. You who wouldn't rather have Taylor is Chris Simms. Have
you heard this? No, Chris Simms says Stidham is better than Tuah already, you'd rather have Jared Stidham, whatever, moving forward, Yeah, Jared stid Him. In his four career pass attempts to completions, one was an interception. Granted it was Jamal Adam is the best safety in the NFL in my opinion, but um, there's not a lot of tape on Stidham, of course, just four career pass attempts. His preseason was overwhelmingly positive though. Uh. In yards for attempt he was tied for tenth quarterback
rating tied for twelve. There's similar statistics that are kind of impressive, but it's preseasons, so we're not gonna glue too much for that. I'm there's certainly risk and reward here, but I don't want to mess with Stidham. We're not going to draft him. Moving on to the running backs a position from New England right always said don't draft any of these guys, and I continue to do that. Uh. Sony Michelle is outside of Julian Edmond Edelman, who will
get to is the highest UH has ADP on New England. Uh, they might have higher a DPS in the Jets. This team is looking so brutal on paper. Uh. He's going in the seventh round, James White and late ninth James White only viable and PPR over ninety targets over the last two years. Julian Edelman in the late seventh. I don't think he's gonna fall off a cliff per se, that's coming, though it may not be this year, it's next year. He doesn't have your biggest downside yet he's
your safest player. But there's no ceiling. No you don't. The upside isn't there? That he that he had under Brady. But he still probably catches a bunch of balls. He probably does, but a man with age, No, Tom Brady does have an injury history. I'm out on him entirely. Probably a year early, but it's better to be a year early than a year late in this regard. So that brings me to the end. Kill Harry by far the highest upside of anyone on New England going in
the twelfth round. Right now, overall player wide receiver fifty five. People are acting like Harry is old and washed up. Treat like a decrepit injury injury riddled. I mean his name is Harry, so he old, washed up, Hary, Harold he he uh Granted, Harry graded out is a better rusher receiver by Pro Football Focus last year forty yards on five carries, so he's a pretty good ball uh ball carry. But again it was the last season due
to injury. Only twenty three targets. I like Harry. I think Harry is gonna outscore every single rookie wide receiver this year. How's that for a call? Yes, he kill Harry is gonna outscore every Harry Judy can outscore Ceedee Lamb. And there's this can only really be a gut feeling. But he has all the intangibles. He's one year in and let on that Fie upside by far is in Kiel. Harry is going to get a shot as the number one wide receiver. Julian Edelman is not that never was,
so I believe you with that. But this, Yeah, the notion that he's gonna outscore the best wide receiver crop of in our memory is absurd, coming in with no mini camp, a shortened preseason. Don't care. I cannot wait to be ready. That's the a f C East. Let's shift over to the NFC East. Matt. You've got the Dallas Cowboys. This is quite quite a difference from most of the offenses we've just been talking about. Man, I
think you know I want every Cowboy. Basically, should I have given you the Cowboys to talk about a Jets and the Red Sky They added Ceedee Lamb of course in the first round of the draft. Andy Dalton is the backup quarterback. Cameron Irving joins the old line, and uh Legatron Greg's urline joins that team. Uh. Not that we talked about kickers very much, but he's currently going off the board is the third kicker right now. So high powered offense and a good way. Uh. They lost
Tavon Austin Randall, Cob Jason Witten. Now let's put lost in air quotes for those three. Can we just lose von Austin forever? That dudes made like a hundred million dollars in his career. Eighth overall pick um. They did lose Cameron Fleming from the offensive line and Travis Frederick retired. Um, and that was from Pro Football focuses number four offensive line last year. So uh, they got they got a
little bit of a churn on the old line there. Um. As far as the riskiest player, I think you gotta go right to the top, and you guys really have covered it over the last two weeks. Ezekiel Elliott, who by Fantasy Pros consensus ADPs going off the board at number four right now, which is surprisingly behind Dalvin Cook. I feel like Zeke is going three in most of the league's I see. But the fact that he's going in the top three means there's just not that much upside.
Um and and and the two of you guys have been spouting the virtues of Tommy Pollard for quite a while now, so a little about a year or two early on the Tony Pollard. Um. Yeah, so I I think that's your riskiest guy right there. Um, You're safest, but not safest players probably Dek Prescott because of the offense. It's gonna gonna be a part of anything. You don't want to worry about which of his capable electrifying receivers is going to catch the ball. Absolutely, they just take that.
Prescott have to sweat trying to figure out which receivers, which Dal's receivers can the big The not safest part is what if he holds out and then Andy Dalton starting a couple of games at the beginning of the year. But Dak did put up yards and thirty touchdowns through the air last year, had two seventy seven yards on the ground and three touchdowns, and that was his worst rushing year. He's had six touchdowns on the ground in every other year and at least three hundred yards, So
uh DA's pretty safe. Although I do want to give a special mention to Michael Gallup. He's going a little bit too high in ADP right now. He's sixty five off the board and wide receiver thirty. But he finished his wide receiver nineteen. Last year he had eleven hundred yards and six scores on sixty six catches. Now, granted, there's some open targets now that Cobb has gone, Witton has gone. Sure, Lamb is better than probably be better than Gallop overall, uh as as we go down the road.
But I'm not gonna quite give up on Michael Gallup yet. You're getting a guy who's in a great offense. He's got wide receiver to potential, and and he's just sitting there, and I think that his ADP is going to continuously be pushed down as we go through this offseason. So keep an eye on Gallup if he's there in the seventh or eighth round. He's a guy that I'm probably investing in. Whoa, whoa, whoa, You're not done yet? What
why aren't we talking come for you? Next? Next? Let's go, let's go to the Blake Jarwin desk, Brian, why you love Blake Jarwin? I can't. Dan Arnold might be listening, maybe next to me. All right, well, no, I mean Blake Jarwin basically off the top of my head. You take out Jason Witten last year and you give all those snaps targets to Blake Jarwin, and he Jason Witten was inside the top ten with Blake Jordan Blake Jarwin
eating into his work. So it's uh. Of course, the addition of Ceedee Lamb is not ideal for any of the past catchers, but Blake Jarwin should not leave your draft undrafted. All They signed Blake Jarwin to a shockingly big deal this past off season who's been mostly unproven, and it's because they know they've been developing Blake Darwin for several years now, and they know they've got a kid that is ready to take the next step and be a functional starter for They know he's quarterback proof.
So if they have to go, let's go to Washington. This offense was dead last in points scored and they ranked thirty first in total yards. There's a new head coach, Ron Rivere's you know, first time offensive coordinator Scott Turner will be there. Every fantasy position is filled with deep question marks in Washington. Last year, Dwayne Haskins incredibly inaccurate fifty eight percent completion rate, which was amongst starting quarterbacks.
And there's not only thirty two teams. Scott Turner is going to be challenged to devise an offense that works to Haskin's best skills. But I don't even know what those best skills are. You know, watching a lot of Dwayne Haskins last year, I can't tell you, well, here are the things he does really really well? Do you want to go emphasize because most of what we saw
last year was bad. But the final two games of last year for Dwayne Haskins, he completed seventy two of his passes, he threw for four yards, four touchdowns, and zero picks. He had those last two games were this glimmer of hope that we're strong enough to get Miami to pass on to a They could have had him, and they let him go. They apparently feel like he's going to be good. Now. I'll mention this as well. It's another reason for optimism on Dwayne Haskins this offseason.
He's been tweeting on Instagram all the time about all the workouts he's doing and all the work he's doing. I was hearing plenty of whispers from Washington that there was a problem with work ethic and dedication and mindset, and these could be signs of maturity for him that he's ready to that he's ready to take the next step. He's ready to dedicate himself fully to being the best
quarterback he can be. And maybe that'll help a little bit. Now, if Haskins does get benched at some point because he's good, they've got Kyle Allen, who was capable last year and
obviously knows the Scott Turner Ron Rivera system. So you know that is it would give them a transition that isn't a disaster like it would necessarily be, and maybe might be Kyle Allen's even better, say Washington or when Washington loses, sorry meant uh, the first three games for it's time to start tanking for Tyler Herbert at that point probably might see in Washington some other teams Tyler Lawrence. Yes. Sorry.
If you google Dwayne Haskins, one of the first things that comes up is is Dwayne Haskins a good quarterback. That's all you need to know. And it's Trevor Lawrence right. I'm really it's too far ahead in the future for me. Haskins receivers are mostly unchanged. Terry McLaren was awesome last year, should have been offensive rookie of the Year, got completely jicked, lightly robbed, and I'm still better about it. Nine hundred yards and seven touchdowns despite getting one hoppers from case
Keenum and Dwayne Haskins for most of the year. Those don't count as receptions. Church If if Terry mclauren we're playing in any other offense besides this one or my other team, the Jets, we'd be talking about. Terry mclaurin's upside is being like a top fifteen, top twelve wide receiver this year. I think it's still there, and it it's it's if everything goes perfectly that upside is there
because McLaurin is that good day. The only other notable receiver rookie Antonio Gandy Golden will challenge Kelvin Harmon and Cody Latimer for time, but I don't think he's expected to make a quick impact here. Steven Sims and Trey Quinn are gonna battle for slot. Looks don't care. Garius Darius guys is gonna be your starter. Now, let's remind people, yeah,
he is. He suffered the a c L, then he had a tournamentiscus, and then he had a sprained m c L. But when he's been on the field for these Glimmers, he's looked really, really good, So we assume
that he's going to continue to be the starter. Adrian Peterson will get spot carries for sure, although I suspect the plan at the outset is going to be let's keep Adrian fresh with low carry, so at the end of the year, when geis is unlikely to be playing, we can go put Adrian Peterson in and then a lot of people interested in rookie and Tonio Gibson who's going to fill the past catching role vacated by Chris Thompson.
Are either of you guys, Antonio Gibson, people, Sarah's I've seen a bunch of the Morales receiver, right, He's gonna be treated like a running back. The Raid writers, it's gonna be similar. They were talking about him and using Christian McCaffrey's name as a out of the Washington camp,
but I can't imagine that happening. Offensive line for Washington have a couple of new starters and left tackle Garan Christian who takes over for Donald Penn, and left guard West Schweitzer replacing Eric Flowers, who we talked about earlier and he was brutal last year. So there's a little bit of churn on the on the offensive line, on
the left side in particular. But Dwayne Askins doesn't need to you know, who needs the left side of your offensive line when you're a second year quarterback who struggled last year. So in summary with Washington, and it's probably
too much time on this team. If Haskins takes a major leap forward, which is possible, and Darius Guys stays healthy, which I guess is possible, and Terry McLaurin improves a year two, which is almost certainly gonna happen, maybe the Redskins have a chance to be quasi competent on offense. But there's a ton of risk. The riskiest Redskin by ADP is Darius Guys going off as ADP of seventy four.
The Redskin with the biggest upside is Terry McLaurin is not is going off the board at wide receiver thirty one. That's too low, that's too low. I believe he's got as we discussed earlier, things break right for him, he could be a top fifteen wide receiver. Let's take a break. When we come back our final two teams to break down, the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. I am of the belief that the Giants are going to take
a big step forward this year. We'll see what Brian has to say about that when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchie and
Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you. We're breaking down on all of the East teams, the a f C East, the NFC East, looking at the holistically at the entire offenses, what's changed in the off season, offensive line changes, and were identifying the riskiest downside players to draft based on their average draft position and the players with the most upside based on their average draft position. We go to
the New York Giants, a scorned lover for one. Brian Johnson, Well, I might be able to make my return after this season because there's no way Gettleman keeps his job after this year, especially after you see how bad. You see how bad this defense is going to be, which boats very well for the offense. So let's talk about them real quick. Some of my favorite sleepers across all of fantasy football right here on this team. Let's talk about him.
First off, though, Joe Judge, new head coach for the Giants. Also new offensive coordinator, former New York Giants quarterback and former Dallas Cowboys head coach. Of course, Jason Garrett is a new offensive coordinator. Um. The Giants already awful offensive line lost Mike Remors to Denver, but the immediately that's that's addition by subtraction losing round. I don't know about for the Giants, maybe any other team, but they sunk major draft capital into Andrew Thomas the fourth draft of
it and Matt Pert in the third round. Also signed Cameron Fleming. Is that a Pert plus shampoo humor there? So yeah, offensive line was one of the many issues pretty much the only issue on offense for them. There's been no major shake up at the skilled positions. You have Daniel Jones, s Kwan Barkley of course, Golden Tate, Darius Slayton Sterling Shepherd and wide receiver and Evan Ingram, a somewhat scary group of players who have never been on the field at the same have because Golden Tate
and missed the first four. I made sure they never have played together in one single game, so hopefully they get to do that this year. Isn't that where I'm going? And I'm totally cutting you off here. I'm excited at it. This is why I like Daniel Jones so much, and I think he can use on the big the big second year breakout for Daniel Jones. I thought he looked good enough last year and showed a lot of a
lot of promise. I really liked the arm and for the first time he's gonna roll into a season with all of his receivers. It's really more about the Giants having an awful defense and they're gonna be chasing points and this is a very I'm not convinced Jones is the long term answer. I'm not saying he's a total bust. Of course, he looks like he has some some game, but yes, he is my highest upside player based on ADP. I mean, fan ah, He's going off in the mid
tenth his quarterback fifteen right now is just surprise. It's that high. Actually, people are people are high on Jonesy. You know you had some monster games last year. But again it's again some bad teams say Kwon Barkley of course, could be your highest risk. We saw, we saw the his rookie year. We saw the ceiling last year, we pretty much saw the floor. Uh, even though he did finish it like a top ten running back but missed
half the year due to injury. I will say the biggest, the scariest downside continues to be Evan Ingram, who right now is going on the seventh round is tight end seven. When he plays, he's he produces, but you just can't trust him to stay on the field. And in Jason Garrett super tight and friendly as an offensive coordinator. So if Ingram can stay healthy, I've said this for three straight years ago one and on a points three game basis. Now he's not gonna finish his tight end one he
stays healthy as that pficial Now he doesn't. Why not? He has Travis Kelsey and George Kittle in him? Come on, man? Oh he does without? Yeah, when it comes to pass catching ability. I put him right there when he's healthy. But but he's your UM. I'm not going for Angram. I'm still I'm taking Dan Arnold in the last round. So you're risking his player to draft was you're risking this downside is every Ingram Daniel Jones. I'm going naked
Daniel Jones. The fine names. You go quarterback and you don't invest in any other players, just you know you don't want to pair him with the wide receivers. Go naked Daniel Jones. He's got plenty of weapons and hopefully produces tastefully nude Jill Jones. Our final of eight teams that we're going to talk about from the a f C and NFC East is Philadelphia matt And this was an offense last year that was ravaged by injury. I think the overall value of all of the Eagles is very,
very low right now. How do you see this offense coming together this season? Uh? The interesting part is the Eagles had Pro Football Focuses number one ranked offensive line last Yeah, how about that? They despite everything, they did lose Jason Peters though, and that's a pretty big subtraction
right there. Uh. The other guys that they lost, not that big Josh McCown, Jordan Howard, Darren Sprowles, Nelson Agil or whatever they did add Jalen reagor uh in the first round of the draft, and uh, he's slotting in as one of the one of the two wide receivers that you should at least know about this year. Um So, the riskiest guy, probably the biggest upside and probably the biggest downside on the team is Miles Sanders, who, according to a DP is going off at number twenty two.
Right now, I'm overall and I must be about running back that is going up. If you pay attention to what Fantasy Twitter is saying about Miles Sanders. By the time we're talking about this in August, Miles Sanders will be the first round or something that could be. Everyone's all over him. Seventeen touches are more in five of his last six games. In those six games, he averaged a hundred and five total yards and had four touchdowns
in that span. So, I mean, there's something to love about seeing what happened in the last few games of the year, especially when Jordan Howard was out. Now Jordan Howard has gone yeah, he is. However, everybody was hurt last year except him. That mean the whole offense had to go through him by necessity. And we've seen this this offense in the past be very diverse with his usage of running back. So everybody was hurt, right, All the wide receivers were hurt. Award was their top wide
receiver going into the playoffs. But yet Carson Wentz out of nowhere through the ball at least forty times in the last seven regular season games straight. He lost all of his wide receivers and they're like, yolo, let us throw the ball. So Carson Wentz is a really interesting guy and I think people are way down on him. He got injured injured in the playoffs. Again, He's not thrown a touchdown pass in only one game in three years. Wow, that's a great stat um. He's had exactly seven interceptions
in each of the last three years. His his production almost exactly mirrors Matt Ryan. Like there, if you put their numbers side by side through their first four years, that's almost the same. So this is his fifth year, Matt Ryan had about four thousand yards, twenty seven touchdowns, and seven interceptions, just like Carson Wentz did last year excuse me? And did Ryan explode in year five yards and thirty two touchdowns. So I think that there's a
big upside here on Carson Wentz. Everybody's down on him. This is this is you can you can really buy low right now. And Matt Ryan's like always had two good wide receivers going back to Roddy White and and his receivers. I mean, there's al Sean He's there, played only ten games last year eight or more targets and six of those, but Dallas Goddart and Zach Ertz are really his top receivers for sure's double digit targets in
five of the last seven regular season games. Goddart had the same amount of touchdowns as George Kittle, Travis Kelsey, and Hunter Henry last year hit the same amount yeah of touchdowns touch The problem was the rest of the usage was very low. He also had six or more targets in every game from week eleven on a necessity and all that. That necessity is still there. But once they lost all their wide receivers, what did they do through the ball? It was it was kind of amazing.
So maybe they've kind of figured something out with Wentz. If he comes back all healthy and he can stay healthy, I like him as a huge side play. What about Jalen Reagor? So is that now so is whence is your wence? Is your official with the most upside? Yeah? I think so. I mean Miles Sanders has the most upside and downside, but Wentz is the guy that you can get. That's the sleeper. Um. Jalen Reagor, I'm not really gonna go after Um. He's He's not going off
the board very high. He's wide receiver sixty nine right. This is why I like him so much. Necessity, I think they have almost no choice but to get him the ball. They do get to Sean Jackson back, they have j j arthego white side, and look how that worked out for him. It's it's year two of don't care. He showed nothing last year when they desperately needed any warm body, a wide receiver. J j arthego white Side
was still invisible. I have a feeling the Eagles are one of those offenses that just figures out, kind of like the Patriots did. They figure out the ways to win, and I think that their way to win is to play two tight ends into use Miles Sanders, So I think Carson Wentz is the guy shot Jeffrey goes down, which he will, or just stinks, which is something that he does a lot, and that's where Jalen Reagor's can.
I think Jalen Reagors have a big impact for this year first round pick, and I don't trust Jeffrey to stay healthy and not stink. And they have to throw a wide receiver eventually. You can't just throw the tight ends all the time. I think Jalen Reagor is a nice by. I would make a dollar wager with you that uh, a running back has more targets than Jalen
Reagor this year. Sanders is also really good pass catching back, and so it's Boston Scott so so that that's the problem is I think that both of those guys are in play. Has passed. I want to I want to take bets with Brian, not Matt. Brian is the one who's giving away money over there, smart over here, huh. I want nikkill. Harry is going to outscore every rookie wide receiver in this draft. I don't think put your
money where your mouth. It's fetched. It's deeply fetched. Uh guy, Thank you for all your help with us forty minutes of breaking down every a f C, NFC East team fantasy style. Should we talk about the North next year? Yeah? Next week it's to the north a North remembers. Usually there's a cadence with these that you know, the listing always seems to go the teams on the east, the teams on the north, the teams in the south, and then the teams on the west. We do this reverse
right thing. Maybe well, maybe that's that that that's maybe that's why it's I always I just figured it was. I don't know, like how the country grew started on the east coast. North south east west is usually how it goes from the compus campus wise, Yes, but that's that's maybe it's north. I just feel like I've said north, south, east west. I don't try to say anything that comes out of your mouth today. If that's what we've learned from us. Thank you for listening to Fantasy Football Weekly.
