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, Paul. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy in my co host today, hardened criminal Brian Johnson. What's it like on the inside, Brian, I'm glad I didn't get get put in the clink, got
pulled over on the way over here. You got pulled over on the way over here. I've driven in the last years. Was it was it a leon let size stash in the back of your car? I got I got away with a warning, thankfully, But yeah, I don't know just what got you? State? Was it a local trooper? State trooper seventy and he's like, he was precise seventy three. Great. I thought it was the sixty five and thankfully I I didn't fully accelerate to where I wanted to be at,
which is like, you know, raise the speed limits. But he was he was a nice guy. Gave me a warning. You know, you got off easy. You can't really complain. I'm not complaining. Maybe he's a listener, but I was like, I know you're gonna You're gonna check in on me soon because I am very punctual when it comes to these podcasts. No, you are, And when you were ten minutes later, I'm like, this is weird, not is it?
Not like the Brian Johnson I know. But the Brian Johnson I know also would never have gotten pulled over with a leon letsign stash in the back, running into bad luck left and right. Lately got I got good things on the horizon, hopefully, but yeah, like the scales will balance out, right, I'm gonna go buy like this podcast, I'll go buy some lotto tickets after this. There you go. Last week we broke down the off season winners. This
week we're doing the losers. These are the guys we think have the opportunity to perform worse than hope because of things that changed in the off season. These are guys that didn't change teams, but had their situation change. Resident losers, resident evil because the bad things happen, and I can can contest I've been I'm turning into more and more of a best ball junkie every year. I've
been drafting since January. I was drafting during the playoffs, and all of these guys, their ADP has slid for reasons that we will mention for each since free agency and trading in the draft and all that stuff. Let's start with the quarterbacks. We've got four quarterbacks we think have taken a hit in the off season, beginning with
Patrick Mahomes for probably obvious reasons. He is, still, however, quarterback to going off the board in Round three right now, Yeah, obvious reason, really right, Tyreek Kill basically getting traded to Miami and um. Looking back through mahomes career, not a long career by any means. He's played five games without Tyree Hill. Eight passing touchdowns in those five games. Not great. That's terrible. I mean one point eight per It's not terrible.
Even worse, four of those eight touchdowns came in one quarter against the Oakland Raiders, like when the I watched the highlights too, when the dirt was still in the field baseball season, So it was just kind of a flukey game against an awful Raiders team. Half of those eight touchtowns one quarter. So yeah, I mean his ADP is probably still too, but I've I've seen him slide now to QB three, QB four. It's really hear everyone's taking Josh Allen first, but now it's kind of like,
do you want Mahomes? Are you gonna go with Herbert or even Lamar Jackson? Before it was slam dunk Mahomes number two? Some mightso even we're taking him before Alan not the vast minority were. But ever since the Hill trade, you ble are down on him, and for rightful, long term I believe mahomes value should be higher without Tyreek Hill. Here's why. One, I'm a believer in sky Moore, and he won't. He's not Tyreek kill. Nobody's Tyreek killed. Tyree
kills a totally special case. But I think sky Moore can be very effective. Two. They saved one hundred million dollars that they're able to put into other places to help Patrick Mahomes and sustain his career offensive line. You know, whatever replacement tight ends, you know, whatever whatever that case is.
I still think Mahomes has got tremendous long term value and justin Ross, he's got the talent if he's medically clear to you know, carry Forth in his career, arguably not a draft day steal, just a out because he wasn't drafted. He pans out Yeah, Ross and Ross more easily could replace Tyley Tyreek Hill the next quarterback Losers a name that you already mentioned. Lamar Jackson currently going
off the board as quarterback four in round four. At that point, you're paying a premium on him under the assumption that his rather lackluster year last year will will proved this year. But it's not obvious to see how that's going to happen now. He's in the last year was rookie deal Brian and Lamar Jackson does not have a new contract. It's not clear that he will be paid what he wants to be paid or what he
thinks he's should be paid. Normally, a quarterback is good as Lamar Jackson eight never even hits the last year of their of their contract and then be when they do, they get paid a lot. They get paid like a top five guy, even if you're not a top five quarterback. Lamar Jackson has one playoff win to his credit to this point, and not that that's the only measuring stick, because it's not um, but it's not clear he's getting
that he will get a new contract. And if the if the Ravens underproduced this year, if they go one and out in the playoffs or don't make the playoffs, who knows what his situation might be. But the real key here is the loss of Marquis Brown and the fact that the team replaced Marquis Brown with nobody, literally nobody. The Ravens have got I think the thinnest set of wide receivers in the league, the entire position group. Get this, the entire position group on the Ravens has one hundred
thirty one NFL receptions. That's it, one thirty one. Somebody catches Mark Andrews almost had last year, probably almost season. Um, you know. I will note there is this though. Improvements the Ravens offensive line is huge. Jackson took a ton of sack In fact, I think he was He had the highest sack rate in the NFL among all quarterbacks. And they put a first round pick into center Tyler Linderbaum.
They added Kevin zeitler A he was profoball focuses tenth rated guard last year, and they picked up Morgan Moses on the right hand side and on that same side, they drafted enormous rookie tackle uhla, yeah, my Daniel Falla and yeah six ft eight, three hundred sixty pounds. I mean, it's it's ridiculous. The Ravens have drafted a lot of
golden Gophers, starting going way back to Ron Johnson. If you recall was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, Max Williams or Shot Bateman, there's there's been a bunch there have been forget some other ones. So um, overall, this is a it's a The receiver set is so thin here to me, it really does put some pause before I draft Lamar Jackson. Sure the running is great, but I really need him to augment that with better, more consistent passing than he had last year. And he doesn't even
have the weapons he had last year. And what doesn't bode well for Jackson it bodes well for Baltimore From a reality football perspective is uh, that defense is probably gonna be one of the better defenses in the NFL. And so when it comes to fantasy, that doesn't usually equate to a lot of a ton of scoring or the need to score a lot. The next quarterback loser Ryan Tannehill currently going up the board as quarterback twenty
one in the fourteenth round. It feels like people have already baked in a pretty big drop for Ryan tanne Yeah, and this is another big name receiver leaving the team, A J. Brown, of course. Um In his three years with Tennessee, Tannehill has touchdown totals of two thirty three one. He had that one really good year in when we had the thirty three. A J. Brown accounted for nearly a third of all those passing scores. And of course he's in Philly now. And we can debate who Tennessee's
top wide receiver is that rookie Traylon Burks. Is it Robert Woods who's looked good in O T A s. But I'm still not sure if he's gonna be ready to go come Week one. So the loss of Brown is a downgrade either way. I'm not saying I'm out out on Berks or Woods, but um, yeah, losing A. J. Brown hurts. And now Tannehill, a threat on the ground,
of course, scored seven rushing touchdowns last season. Yes, six of those seven came after Derrick Henry went down with the broken foot Henry Whip should be back ready to go week one, and uh and you know who else it's a threat on the ground outside of Derrick Henry Leek Willis, who is not gonna challenge him Tannehill right away, but they get off to a slow start. They kind of probably have similar skill sets and if you know the Titans, there's no lock to take that division down.
I think the Colts are the heavy favorite, and I think Jackson Gills will be much improved. And my Warriors, what if they bring in the leak Willis at the stripe like you know, like the Saints did or even with the Raiders, Marcus Mariotta took some touchdown opportunities from Derek Carr. So yeah, that's that's that's very plausible. So yeah, Tannehill's ADPs slid as a result of all those things. The last quarterback loser is justin field. Chicago might be
the worst team in the league this year. I think it's I think there's a possibility that they just bottom out right here, that this is this is going to be the bottom for them. If if not, the Ravens, who I said earlier, have the thinnest reset of receivers then it's probably Chicago. Um, you've got Darnell Money in his third year, He's got a hundred forty two career receptions, which granted is more than all of the Ravens receivers combined. I guess that makes him an aged veter in here.
But after Mooney, it's all third tier cast offs and long shots. Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle, Ecuonamius st. Brown, and the and then old Man Villas Jones. Old Man universally decried rookie draft pick Vellas Jones. I had never even heard of the guy until he was drafted, and I thought, I knew everything you need to know, at least about he's getting drafted in the five rounds because he went.
He went about five rounds too early to put him out of any round was a round to her offensive line was bad last year, and they just didn't off didn't bring him a lot of help. They picked up Green based backup center Patrick Lucas, but then they had a Dakota dozer to sixth round picks and a seventh round pick. That's it. I mean nothing they helped. They
put no help around, justin fields at all. They've taken sort of like the opposite approach to the Jets, who have done like everything possible to put Zack Wilson in a position to succeed. The Bears seemed to be doing the exact opposite for Justin Fields, despite the heavy price they paid to get him last year. Let's go to the running back position, Brian, and we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight running back losers to get through. Well, we'll be
quick through. These are somewhat obvious. I think I think some are. Javonte Williams for a while was looking like one of the biggest winners of the off season, and then after um not signing for over a month, they've Melvin Gordon comes back right back to last year. Earlier in the winter, everyone was under the presumption that Melvin Gordon was gonna be gone and Williams was gonna be a bell cow. He was going late first round in
Best Ball drafts. Now he's going late second, early third because Gordon is back and they both average fifteen point one opportunities targets plus carries per game last year, and it's probably gonna be the same old story this year. And it's a Shavonte Williams this week said it was going to be the same old story. He said he expects the expects the exact same thing as last year.
Williams and Gordon combined for two tho in three D and fifty combo yards and seventeen total touchdowns last year, and that was supposed to be all Williams this year, and that was with the they were facing numerous stacked boxes with Teddy Bridgewater and quarterback Russell Wilson is gonna open things up. But we're looking at a platoon here, So yeah, Williams, uh. Fortunately, gonna have to wait at least one more season for full on bell couch Javonte
Williams unless Gordon gets injured. The Nuts next running back loser is something that some will disagree with. He's currently going off the board at running back fourteen in the third round, and that's Leonard four Nette. Tampa Bay loses Ronald Jones, but and we're gonna in my mind that's no loss. I mean, Ronald Joe's a total non factor here. But incoming rookie Rashad White is very promising and it's
got to do everything. Skill set that fits very well with Tampa and he can do up most in many of the same things that Leonard for Netken and you know, for that was the only game in town last year. But you know, White could really turn this into a one two punch potentially, And Tampa has shown a willingness to use rookies extensively. Look at Anton Winfield, Tristan Wharfs, Devin White as recent examples. Now, those are all all
first first I think they're all first rounders. I think even Winfield is a first rounder or early second rounder. But you know, they drafted White in a position of real equity in the draft, and I think he's gonna be a factor here, much more than Ronald Jones has been. And I think he's gonna chisel away into some of Leonard Fournett's usage. And I will continue to maintain Land not just isn't that special of a runner. I just I just I think he's just just a guy. But Tom, Yeah,
that helps a lot. And you know, he was the starting running back and they really the only game in town and the Tom Brady let offense. Um, so he still has real value. But I do think White is a is a bit of a factor. Let's go to Seattle Penny throughout his entire career has been has It's all been injury plagued and underperforming until December of last
year when he berserk down the stretch. And if you listen to Fantasy Football Weekly, as I'm assuming everyone hearing this podcast does, you got the peacock button are because I told you to add Rashott Penny before his the Houston game when he went off. No, not that one. We're gonna need that one later though, bookemark the sad from Bowski, uh bar. But yeah, Penny closed the season very strong, was arguably a league winner. He had the most yards per carry of all running backs at six
point three one. Nick Chubb was second with five and a half. He was second in yards created per attempt among running backs who had at least one hundred rushing attempts. Rashott Penny, that is, he looked great, but uh, like you said, Kenneth Walker in town, now you have to assume he's gonna eat into fort of those touches the down the boss of Russell Wilson is also gonna hurt Rashot Penny. They're gonna be facing those stack boxes at
the Broncos facing last year. So, yeah, Rashott Penny, He's people were drafting him assuming he was gonna be RB one, but he didn't dodge the land mines on on draft day and he stepped on one of the biggest ones in Kenneth Walker. So so he's RB thirty five right now. I think that's too high. I just don't. I don't trust Penny, and I'm sure I like what I saw at the end of last year. Don't trust that offense.
And they put massive draft a team that needed help everywhere, put massive draft equity into the running back position right up against Penny. Yeah, and argue you can. You can't argue that they don't trust him to stay healthy because he hasn't. We hope he does, but I'll see what happens. Going two picks before Rashade Penny at running back thirty three, Chase Edmonds in Miami. He's locked into the NFL's ugliest committee, Brian with Sony, Michelle, Raheem, Mosterd, Miles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed
and now Chase Edmonds. Edmunds going off the board at thirty three. This thing's way dicier than Rashade Penny. Even any of these guys could get carries at any moment right here. And what's more, Chase Edmonds has played fifty seven career games. You know, any goal line carries he's had inside the five yard line in fifty seven games, it's not a lot six six in fifties seven games, So one out of every nine and a half games he gets a try from inside the five nine and
a half games. He just doesn't score touchdowns. I think this is one of the worst spies out there. Even to pick pick thirty three shouldn't at running back thirty three, round eight shouldn't be that important. But you could do so much better. I remember last year Miami, You're like, oh, this is a Miles gask In game, and then it was Salvin Akhmed. Then sometimes it's a Salvon Ahmed game. Been Duke Johnson goes and now it's even worse. So yeah,
I'm totally with you. I would if I had to pick one guy from this this uh rotation in Miami, and I wouldn't at least I'm not likely to would be where he most because he goes off the board five rounds later, running around thirteen, and he's got the history with Mike McDaniel, and we've seen where he most when healthy, he can be a special back. So I would draft mostart ride him until he inevitably gets hurt, because he always does, and then move on with you.
Our next loser running back, not loser in life, just off season loser. Devin Singletary going off the board at running back twenty eight, Round seven and a half eight. Yeah, another running back who powered fantasy teams to victory late in the season last year six total touchdowns from weeks fifteen through eighteen. Also posted decent receiving numbers during that stretch and into the playoffs. But here comes James Cook, who had one drop on seventy four career targets at
Georgia Buffalo. Buffalo has also signed Duke Johnson's who if he makes the team, Uh, he's gonna be a third down option as well, meaning Singletary never sees a third down snap ever again most like Now that's hyper believe, of course, but it's not looking good for his uh bell cow usage that we saw late in one and yeah,
that's the bottom line. We're just looking at, you know, first down, second down working of course, Josh Allen near the stripe They probably don't want to keep running him at the straight, but you will because he's Josh Allen and one can stop him and people can stop Devan single theory. So yeah, another guy a DP is on slid. The next running back off season loser, Antonio Gibson currently going after board I think way too high. Running Back
thirteen Round three. Ron Very says he's planning to integrate rookie Brian Robinson into the backfield with a significant role and this week called it a one two punch and likened his backfield to the days of Jonathan Stewart and D'Angelo Williams. That would be bad for Antonio Gibson, and Robinson has built for goal line carries. He's a bigger, more of a power back and that could impact Gibson's
fantasy fortune significantly in a touch and a reduced touchdown total. Here, Gibson, last year they had seventeen carries inside the five, which is a lot. Turned it into just six touchdowns. And of course J. D. McKissick is gonna see a great point. Michael Carter massive offseason loser here. Yep uh, we all know Jets drafted Reesaw at the top running back taken
in the April's draft. Carter missed five games due to injury last year, who hasn't proved to be fully durable either, And when he was giving those several bell cow opportunities, he just looked kind of like a guy. And really his good games came with Mike White at quarterback on just you know, dumping off the ball to Carter out of the backfield. So yeah, Michael Carter, he was someone you would hope the Jets weren't gonna take a big name running back, but they took the biggest name right back,
So big ali for Michael Carter. I want to be clear that everybody loves Austin Neckler. We love him as a player, We love the fact that he overtly plays fantasy football, loves fantasy football. We've been touting him on this show for three years and then the payoff finally hit big time last year with his twenty touchdown season. His ADP is picked two, and it's only relative to
that ADP that I discuss Austin Neckler here. In his five NFL seasons et there has been a workhorse back one time, and only one and it was last year when he roughly doubled his normal rushing attempt usage um while maintaining his effectiveness through the air. But Eckler could easily lose touches to fourth round pick Isaiah Spiller. Spiller was projected as a day to second round pick but slump to the fourth round, mostly because he ran a
four six forty at his pro day. But if you watch the tape, the kid can run and he's a good player. And the fact that they put even fourth round equity tells me that they must like Spiller at least some and they let Justin Jackson go. I think that's another sign as well. And I just fear that Eckler's workload is going to get cut into more significantly this year than it did last year when nobody else
could be effective. Remember, Joe Lombardi only gave Alvin he's offensive coordinator for the Chargers, only gave Alvin Kamara between one seventy one and one four carries when he was the starter in New Orleans one one. That would represent about a thirty ish carry regression for Ekeler if he drops down to camera levels. And while that isn't that doesn't torpedo his his value by any means. I just it's not the end of the world, but it's not
necessarily what you want from the second overall pick. And uh, you know l A, the l A Chargers, both l A teams with the Chargers, of course, in this case, they expect to make a long they're a deep playoff push this year, and they want to keep him, keep him a little pressure than they did than they did last year. We're gonna take a break when we come back the off season. Losers that wide receiver segment too.
Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson with you as we look at the wide receivers to whom bad things happened in the off season. We begin in Detroit. We're bad things happen. Yeah, I'm on ra st Brown. Great things were happening for him from weeks thirteen through eighteen, target totals of twelve, twelve, eleven, eleven, eleven, and ten, yet at least eight catches in every game during that stretch, totaling six touchdowns, even ran one in he was another
league winner. We've mentioned a few of those, but it's gonna be tough for him to repeat, uh, those performances because he fell into the fortune of many vacated targets. T J. Hockinson missed weeks fourteen through eighteen. Uh DeAndre Swift was out weeks twelve through sixteen. Those two players should be healthy to start the season, and Detroit also brought in d J. Chark drafted Jamison Williams twelfth overall. I just he's just gonna need to be the only show in town like he was at the end of
last year. So and you probably won't and I'm not. I'm not buying in. And I know it was ADP has dropped two over the last few months. But even where it's at now, it's it seems a little too high for me. I don't know who seems he's a great player, but he's not going to see those opportunities. It doesn't seem like from the same draft class Jalen Waddle offseason loser, because obviously Tyree Hill showed up. And you know, I beloved Waddles rookie season an unqualified success,
but like I'm on Ross st. Brown, he benefited from a dearth of other quality receiving options in Miami. Now Here comes Tyreek Hill, who has averaged a whopping nine targets per game, nine times nine targets per game over the past two years. And Miami just invested a first round, second round and I think it was a fourth round pick and a hundred twenty million dollars in Tyreek Hill. So those nine targets per game are gonna hold up because they're highly incentivized to make sure that those nine
targets per game hold up for Tyreek Hill. Yes, Davante Parker has gone and that helps a little bit. Cedric Wilson's got a absurd twenty three million dollar He'll likely slot into that spot and get similar usage to Parker. Um. The good news for Waddle, by the way, is both Hill and Wilson of a history of running from the slot, and Waddle's effectiveness was far better outside, and he will be predominantly an outside receiver this year and once see a ton of double coverage like he most likely did
last year too, You'd assume not. You would assume Tyreek Hills should be drawing most of that himself. So I don't. I'd put Waddles a modest a modest off season loser, not a major offseason loser. What are your thoughts on another player that helped power people the championships and unheralded fashion Hunter Renfro. Hunter Renfro is an enigma. He looks like a banker, but when giving the opportunity, just an
absolute beast. And speaking of opportunities on targets, last year he was fifth in red zone targets among all players with twenty three guest and of course, things fill in his favor to get those targets. Henry Ruggs goes to prison, Darren Waller is hurt, so yeah, they they had to lean on Renfro, but Waller should be healthy come week one. And oh yeah, if you haven't heard, Davante Adams a Raider hundred sixty five targets from it has proven to be pretty good when targeted in the red zone too,
even from the one. I'm gonna talk about that in a few minutes. So yeah, Hunter Renfro. Another guy is ADPs slid since the draft and trading in the off season, signings, all that stuff, but it's still look a great player. I'm excited to watch this offense as a whole. But when you're speaking about him individually, I would not expect
to repeat performance in those numbers. From last year. Another secondary receiver that may have a step back Davanta Smith because A. J. Brown is the new alpha receiver for the Eagles, and I don't think it's clear that Jalen Hurts is a good enough passer to feed two receivers in addition to Dallas gotterd. So I mean A. J. Brown and Dallas Goddard are one A and one B, right, and then where does that leave Smith? You know? And the other thing that worries me about Slith Smith is
he's just so small. He's so skinny. He's not gonna get goal line looks. You feel like he needs big explosive plays to get things done. And I just don't. I worry about him being very inconsistent in year two, and he was pretty inconsistent in year one as well. Um. And the last thing I'll mention the Eagles. We're a far better team in the second half of last year when they were running the ball constantly, and I wonder if they're going to have the same run heavy emphasis
this year. And I'm much improved defense too in Philly as well, be chasing points like they have been in the past. Speaking of Chason, let's segue to Chase Claypool. Yeah, brutal, Uh sophomore slump for Claypool last year, and and now this has nothing to do with Ben Roethlisberger's retirement. The whether it's whether it's said Trombo or rookie quarterback baby hands Canny pick it both are an upgrade over Roethlisberger, but uh, Claypool needs to be looking over his shoulder
at a rookie wide receiver. George Pickens taking fifty two overall might have been the first wide receiver to taken in this draft if not for tearing his a c L in the spring. He did player and some character pretty legitimate sounding character concerns, but he didn't come back to play in George's final four games, including the championship, so he should be pretty much a full go uh come Week one for Pittsburgh. So yeah, Chase Claypool, this is time to put up or shut up. But uh,
he's really just a guy. I would rather wait a couple rounds later and take Pickens over to Claypool because I'm just so he's going after the border wide receiver forty in round ten. I'm actually intrigued by Claypool at that point because of the upgraded quarterback and Juju Sue Smith Schuster being gone, Pickens many time to acclimate, and it's the third year for Claypool, and I I want to think he's gonna mature and get it bring it all together here at round ten, I'm actually kind of interested
in clay Pool. But in he had nine touchdowns, I believe, and he was the red zone guy for Pittsburgh and then Pat fire Muth comes into town on last year, he's the red guy. Pickings muscular as Claypool, No one really is. But Pickens has good size six three six four, so could be wrong here, but still the initiative Pickings hurts a little bit. You would have liked them see a little more trust. And also Calvin Austin, but he's kind of more of a slot guy who's drafted a
little later than Pickings. But your next pool could be a huge value. Like you said, your next wide receiver loser is Elijah More from the Jets wide receiver thirty one off the board round eight. You may recall last year he had a very lackluster start to his rookie year and then he had a terrific middle of the season. Then he suffered hip, groin quad injuries and then got COVID and that was at that ended his all that
together basically ended his season. So Elijah Moore is now gonna have to share time with another fast, explosive downfield receiver and a bigger, taller one, Garrett Wilson. And some worry me that Wilson's bigger size is gonna make Can a better downfield target and a better goal line target than Elijah. More and the Elijah We're just gonna start getting more balls underneath and shorter stuff and try to let him do some of the electric things that he
can do after the catch. But um, I would prefer to have the ball going down field of my receivers, and I'm nervous that Garris Garrett Wilson's going to take some of that. And Braxton Barrios or Barrios also, Barrios stole a lot of targets late in the season and they brought him back to a pretty sizeable or significant contract extension. So yeah, I'm with you. Let's go to the tight end. We've got two and a half tight
ends to talk through. Let's start with a loser that I don't think we expected Mike KISSICKI carently going off the board is tight end eleven round eleven. Yeah, and he's a loser for the same reasons that really Uh a loser because because he us a tight end who's not really a tight end. He's a wide receiver. He ran his routes from the slaughter out wide. So really, for all the reasons that you mentioned for Jalen Wattles, why I might just think he's a loser. I think
he's going for guys. I know we were kind of poop poo on the Bears will be called co commit a winner last week, and the numerous tight ends going after Kisiki. Would I'd rather take these guys because I just don't see a ton of opportunities for Kaziki this year like he saw last year. Similar story for Darren Waller, really, because we've already talked through Hunter rent renfro in the effect of Davante Adams, who has always been a target hog.
He's averaged a hundred fifty three targets per season over the last four years and that probably doesn't change here given what the Raiders had to give up to get Adams. And then you've also got Hunter Renfro, though, who has established himself last year, is a totally legitimate and basically an alpha receiver. And like Waller, Renfro works over the middle of the field. That doesn't help Waller and the twenty three red zone targets too, He's very effective in
the red zone. Um. And here's the other thing is Adams is an elite goal line threat. He has the most touchdowns from inside the five yard line of any receiver over the last two years. He's got one more than Adam Feeling although Thelands has uh you know, it's like six seven fewer games played over the last two years. Uh. Still, Um, there's a lot of things working against Darren Waller here currently going up the board at tight end five in
round four. I you know me, Brian, I love I feel very strongly about trying to get one of the high end tight ends. I think Waller's just gonna have some games where he just doesn't get the ball. There's just only so much ball to go around, and Adams and Renfrew are gonna get fed and including near the stripe. And I'm nervous about Waller having inconsistent production. Yeah, I'm
with you. Uh, it's Waller is pretty much tight end four now after pitts Uh andrews Kelsey and then Kittle kind of right after him, and then our guy Dallas got her at least my guy a couple rounds later, maybe like three rounds later than Waller. I kind of rather wait and grab got her than take Waller in the fourth round. Uh. Then let's talk about tight end thirty one going off the board in round twenty six.
Who is it Brian dan Arnold who was going on He was getting drafted within the first eighteen rounds as tight end at least like twenty four. I mean, he was a great backup tight end before Jacksonville traded for Evan Ingram. Now Dan Arnold could be traded, and I kind of hope he is always traded. Dan Arnold, he's guaranteed they're not gonna cut him. I can't cut him. He's guaranteed too much money by Jacksonville. But Arnold kind of in the mold of Giski ran roughly se his
routes from the slaughter outside. He's kind of more of a wide receiver. But so was Evan Ingram, who again Jacksonville signed in the off season. Um and presumably Angram will be the tight end one for Jacksonville. That said, Ingram has twenty one career drops, most by a tight end since seventeen, also known to get injured. So I'm I'm not fully convinced that Ingram like is the guy tight end for Jacksonville. Uh So, I'm not out entirely
on Arnold and a new head coach Doug Peterson. Uh for Jacksonville, who previously coached the Eagles has done some damage with two tight ends in the past. Dallas Goddard ZACKERD So, yeah, Arnold was really getting drafted as a tight end two and every draft I was in. But since they signed Ingram, he's really not getting drafted right now. Unfortunately.
