The Stable Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, episode number three hundred and ninety, the three hundred and ninety of convening of the Stats Overbeat Cipher. We got a good show for you. I see the crew coming in right away, perrying Jeremy McMahon. It is popping off. And let me tell you something right now, preseason football is kicking off across this fair land.

You know, the Hall of Fame game was what it was, but now this weekend, every team is in action. The preseason starts in earnest and we are going to dig into it. We got a lot of stuff to get through in this show. Okay, we gotta update some contract hold some injuries. Right, We had some trade in the NFL over the last forty eight hours since the last

convening of the Cipher. We'll get into that. Some news and notes, you know, to make sure you guys are straight as you are going into fantasy drafts, I'm gonna continue my conversation about positional perspective, okay, and why, for example, if I say to weight on quarterback, where in the draft you should be getting your tight end and the whiteouts and things like that, I'll give you some frameworks

and some perspective on that. And then we talked a little bit about the quarterback position on the Monday episode. We're gonna go a little bit further into the quarterback tiers. Okay, first of all, honestly, we talked about the top like tier or tier and a half on Monday. But as I say to wait on quarterbacks, those guys the Aaron Rodgers is that does Shawn Watson's Patty Mahomes, those guys are gonna be gone before I and you should want to take your quarterback. So we'll dig into the meat

of the quarterback tiars um today. We will also talk about not one, but two fantasy football leagues that are kicking off that are important to you know, the spitting statistician. We will reveal the names the entrance in the first

ever hashtag stats Overbeats league. A little bit later on in the show, we'll talk a little bit about that and why you know, speeds is the odds on Favorite and tomorrow afternoon for all y'all that are in the chat room, for all y'all that are always down with f N T S Y all right, Tomorrow afternoon, we are going to do a Fantasy Expert Draft here with

all the hosts and stuff from our network. Okay, if you tune into all these shows, it is gonna be taking place starting on the Frenzy tomorrow at one o'clock, being part of the Fantasy b MFFS as well. Okay, and so I'm gonna be part of that. You know, the Spitting Statistician is involved, because I gotta show all these fools here how you win your leagues and win that cash. So that's gonna be a lot of fun.

We'll talk about both of those things, but you'll get a dose of the Spitting Statistician tomorrow afternoon, live and direct from Studio thirty four. Alright, um, check this out. I'm gonna tell you something real quick because I only got a minute or two before we get a break, and I know that there's games. Kick it off right now. I told all of y'all that I want unders tonight. Okay, there's like seven or eight NFL games. I told you before, I'll say it again. Take the under on all these games.

Here's an example. You got Indianapolis and Buffalo. The total is something like thirty six. All right, Indianapolis has Andrew Luck hurt, all right, then they're not gonna risk Jacoby Bursett. The only other quarterback on their depth chart pretty much is Philip Walker, an undrafted free agent out of Temple. Okay, I like the under in that one. Similarly, like Trace McSorley is gonna be getting a lot of time. We saw this in the Hall of Fame game that finished

fourteen ten. There is a trend. It's like sixty sixty five cents week one of the NFL preseasons, and take the under. I like that. I also would blindly take the points. But in a game later on tonight, the Seattle Seahawks are getting two and a half points at home. Okay, they've got the home field advantage. We saw Drew lock yesterday. Give me blindly that. And also one of the things we talked about was coaches motivations in the preseason. Yeah, Pete Carroll has one of the better records. Give me

the points for a home dog. Real Stats over Beat Cipher knows. I like the home dogs. I know some of these games are about to kick off. Take as many unders as possible, and I like Seattle as well. We also gotta pull question up. I'm asking you guys and gals out there at this point in time. I know some people are you know, we're talking about draft, but some people are also making decisions on their keepers,

their dynasty people. And I've now are down the four people that I think have the most uncertainty right now that are really like, you know, dynasty keeper kind of studs and values. So who causes you the most concern

right now as a dynasty keeper? Isn't Melvin Gordon, Zeke Elliott, Andrew Luck that kath Antonio Brown will get into why Antonio Brown will give you visual proof of why Antonio Brown may need more than seventeen percent of the vote right now, Episode three hundred and nine dyears off with the Stats over Beat Cipher. You can call on in as well to talk to the spitting statistician Stats over Beats League. We revealed the participants all that in a whole lot more will come on back. Dilly Dilly, you

Welcome back Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Episode three ninety with the spitting Statistician and of course the stats over beat Cipher. We got the whole crew up in here. Um no, Jeremy McMahon, let me tell you something. We're gonna reveal the teams tonight. We're gonna do the rand. We're gonna randomize the draft order, I

believe on Monday's show. All Right, I'm gonna next week for sure, because I don't know everybody wants to you know, know that know where they are and uh, but you'll still have a week a week and a half after that. So we're to randomize the draft order live on the computer on either the Monday or next Thursday. Okay, but today what we will do is reveal the participants big big shout outs to the entire statue of beat Cipher that's in the chat room and making it pop as always.

If you want to get in touch with the spitting statistician, hit me up at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. We got that pole question up right now, Melvin Gordon leading the way on that. We'll talk about that a little bit later on in the show. All right, so let's catch you up since the Cipher has convened. Last, let me tell you something. We're now past the point. All right, people wear Zeke. Zeke is getting fined. He's missing his time, all right. They signed Alfred Morris. He they've also talked

about he ain't. They say he ain't playing this year without a new deal. He's gonna go the route on this. I think it's a different leverage point because he's got two years left on his deal instead of one like Levy on Bell and even Melvin Gordon. But at this point, honestly, see, I'm drafting, I'm dropping Zeke down because the thing is at the first round, right, And he was like a top four back. He was the top four pick at

this point. I've said it before. I've said it as related to Todd Gurley, I've said it as it relates to Damian Williams. I've said it as it relates to others. With my RB one, I need a stability, I need a floor. So, for example, if I'm drafting at two, do I take Zeke at this point or do I take a Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara. No, I take the other ones right after that. If I'm at like five, I'm taking Lev Bell or David Johnson before Zeke at this point. In the back half of the first round,

I'll take Joe Mixon. I'll take James Connor before them, as opposed to Zeke Elliott. Given the risk at this point, I don't know how far he would drop. I saw my man Maddie Modica took him at number eight overall, you know, and that's where he's falling. But I still would not take on the risk in the first round. And uh, we've gotta keep our eye on that. Obviously, same thing with Melvin Gordon, all right. I don't think Melvin Gordon is getting traded. I don't think Melvin Gordon

is gonna I think he's gonna miss games. He's gonna miss games as well. I've seen Melvin Gordon go down. He was a first round talent. He is anymore. Okay. I've been in draft where I've seen Melvin Gordon go in the third round. Okay, you have to at this point start to bump up Austin Ekeler as well. Okay, this is it's starting to be real with some of these guys. Let's update some injuries. Okay. I know a lot of people were worried about Damian Williams. I referenced

him earlier. He did, in fact return to practice. He's been nursing that hamstring issue. Okay, he did the urns to practice. Let me not tell you something. Though Andy Reid still sounds a little frustrated with him. I still this has been one of my season long relative fool gazes, right, someone, I think, especially in the back half of round one, the first half of round two, you need to forget about this fool gaze here. Right, He's not a three

down workhorse. Okay. When you can still get guys like Dalvin Cook, when you can still guys like Leonard Fournett, Davonte Freeman. I would take on that. I think that's a better workhorse. However, I gotta tell you, and I think my man Danny Otto is down there in the fantasy pit of misery, one of the big injuries we gotta look at. And you guys saw this on Hard Knocks Antonio Brown and we were like, oh, he's got a foot issue. We've gotten more clarity in the last week.

All right. First of all, yeah, thank you, Danny. Put that up. Look at that, Look at that. Look at that. That's nasty. That is nasty. I got people here at Versa that this is Antonio Brown's feet, Okay, and you can take that down. And what I would say, Danny is, I don't know if you know this, Danny. Do you know the reason Antonio Brown has those feet? Danny, my man Danie Otto down there in the stats over beat cipher and the pit of misery. Dilly, dilly, do you know,

Danny why his feet are like that? I actually do, Okay, so he you do. So tell the people, um because of apparently not wearing the right kind of footwear in the cryotherapy. Yea ridiculous. He that's dry ice people, and he was like, nah, I'm good with my slides. Business is booming, you know. But and so he's got frost bite, Danny, and frost bite is like, this is not spraining an ankle, people, frost but this could linger. All right, so keep an eye out. I'm fading Antonio Brown. I will be drafting

other wide receivers ahead of Antonio or Brown. It's the same kind of theory that's with Zeke Elliott. It's not about like, oh, you won't I won't have any shares of him because I'll take the choice of what's available there instead of Zeke. Same thing now with Antonio Brown.

Antonio Brown is going in the same place as wide receivers that I actually like, you know what I'm saying, Like Mike Evans, for example, you give me in my second round, mid late second round, if I want a wide receiver and I'm left there with Antonio Brown or Mike Evans, I'm taking Mike Evans, Odell Tyreek Hill, you know juju uh t t Y Hilton, Keenan Allen. I'm taking this safer bet at this point, all right, So um, yeah,

that that's what's going on. And that was disgusting um and we see it in Hard Knocks, and I would say this. I also finished watching that All or Nothing with the Carolina Panthers, and because of that kind of inside footage, you can see what they were talking about with gam Newton shoulder throughout the whole season, like learn the lesson people. If he's already like that now, it's not like the rigors of the NFL season is gonna help that he l or like resist infection. That's all

I gotta say about Antonio Brown. All right, there was a trade, and you know this is interesting because we knew that Houston let go deont Foreman and he's, you know, one of my diamond in the rough, and he latched on with Indianapolis. So we'll see how that works out, right, But the Houston Texans have traded for disgruntled running back out of Cleveland, Duke Johnson, And we sort of put these dots together, right. We were saying that Houston is a place that could be in the running back market.

We knew Duke Johnson was disgruntled, you know, so I think this works. I think this helps Duke Johnson a lot. He is now the undisputed kind of number two there in my opinion, and he's the PPR kind of back there in my opinion, and that's a good little role for him on a team as opposed to be in the cast off, third down kind of back on Cleveland when you had other guys who could play those roles.

I like this for Duke Johnson. Okay, excuse me. It's like allergy season up here in New York City, but I digress and in Cleveland, and I think it helps Chubb a little bit. But the thing is, remember it's only helping this guy early in the season because after week nine, Kareem Hunt is gonna come back. Know about that. What it does reinforce and the status would beat Cipher in the chat room can tell me exactly strong Style

saying it. We knew it would be duped. That's when a man Jeremy McMahon says, right, strong Style is saying, because what you thought all of a sudden in Houston was gonna go to war with Lamar Miller, say it with me, strong Style. Lamar Milliss sucks. We know this, and they are still getting you know, uh, bolstering the troops, shall we say? All right? So that's interesting to keep an eye on other things that I've seen. On Monday, when we were talking, I was like, Michael Crabtree is

still available. In the chat room, people like, no, here not he signed with Arizona. Hey, people know it didn't. He visited Arizona. They thought they were gonna sign, but they couldn't agree to terms. Okay, And that's interesting because Michael Crabtree must think he's worth more than he really is. But there are teams out there. The Giants come to mind, the Bengals come to my mind where he could stick. So keep an eye out on that. Other news and

notes buzz from around training camp. Dante Moncrief seems to be leading for the wide receiver wide receiver to roll in Pittsburgh. And I think that's important because I said it about Pittsburgh and I've said it about Green Bay as well. If you can correctly pick out who is the number two wide receiver for those two teams, you have a fantasy asset, whether in Pittsburgh that's Moncrief or Washington and or Deontay Thompson. And it looks like it

maybe Moncrief. And I buy that, Okay, So that's gonna be an offense that's gonna have, you know, forty yards through the air. Big Ben has grown for over five thousand yards. There's a lot of targets up for grabs. Everyone loves Juju, but the wide receiver two roll is productive for fantasy and it looks like Moncrief has a slight edge at least early in camp. Other camp buzz that I find interesting in Buffalo the running back position. Devin single territory getting a lot of reps with the

first team, and that's interesting to me. Okay, because the other news I heard today is but Frank Gore is gonna start the preseason opener. My question for you, remember they signed T J. Yeldon as well as well. Where the hell does that leave Shady McCoy. People, this is a very crowded running back and they say nice things about Devin Singletary. They're starting Gore. They're not saying all these nice things about Shady. Remember I've said for a long time if they need to thin out that room,

it would be Shady as the casualty. Also other negative buzz. Quite frankly, Mike Gasicki, the Dolphins second year tight end. They're saying he's having kind of like an uneven camp. Remember how I say, it's all it's hard for the tight end and the rookie year to understand it everything, and sometimes they make that second year jump. It seems like it's a little slower for him as well. I would stem the todd on any kind of flyer on him and much rather than Jordan read the Jimmy Graham's

of the world. When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about what Freddy Kitchens thinks about leaks, and then we'll talk positional perspective and we'll talk about the Stats over Beats League for we're digging it into the quarterback tears. It's a fantasy freestyle the Stats over Beat cipher in full bore and if you want to holler at me, Daniel, put in the phone number as well a phone lines to be open at the end of the shows.

Welcome back Fantasy Freestyle Stat's openbeat Cipher for three nine time here on the award winning Fantasy Sports radio network. We got some people in the chat room, Dexter rob He's one of my definite patreons over there. You can

also hit me up on Patreon. Listen, but all the questions that are gonna start coming uh fantasy football seasons and the best way is to hit me up on Patreon. I guarantee responses. We put some exclusive fun content there. But if you're gonna hit me up on Twitter, UM, definitely use the hashtag stats over beats so I know you're part of the cipher and you'll get an answer there. Um. But dexter Rojas has me thoughts on DeVante Freeman or Chrit Carson. I like both of them before Montgomery and

Josh Jacobs. I don't know which Montgomery you're talking about, David Montgomery and Josh Jacobs. Yeah, I like Freeman and Carson. Those guys are for me. R B two is ahead of them both, Chris Carson. You know, Seattle is gonna run. And I'm high on the Falcons. I'm high in Devonte Freeman road games. All those guys, those are B twos have some injury concerns, all right, So I'll take a shot on Freeman. If you take Freeman, double it up with a little Edo Smith later on in my opinion.

All right. I also want to tell you people, if you want to risk free wagers up to a thousand dollars, gone over to points bet dot com slash grid, open up a point's Bet sports wagering account and to the promo code grid. You'll get to risk free bets up to a thousand dollars. In addition to traditional betting, points bet offers its own concept where customers are rewarded by

how much they win their bet. So, for example, if you bet the New York Jets minus three and they cover the spread by ten, you will receive ten times your steak. And by the way, the Jets are winning right now, Sam, I am Sam Donald look good in the first drive. But regardless, that is points bet dot com, slash grid, enter the promo code grid and you can get your two risk free bets up to a thousand dollars today. That's how we do it here. We up the stats, over beat Cipher, win their leagues, and win

that cash. And talks about Freddie Kitchens. He had a very interesting quote. People are asking him about like leaks from his coaches or his players or something like that, and he has a solution the way he is going to run his ship. In Cleveland, Danny played the quote from Freddie Kitchens. This is what he's doing about like leaky sore any inside information to the media. Check it out. The days of inside information and the days of of unnamed sources and stuff like that have ended. So you're

not gonna get any information like that ever anybody. And if I ever see it, they're fired immediately. Okay, that's the way we're running this organization. And I can take it. John Dorsey can take you all right there, Freddie Kitchens, Now that sounds good at all, But like I don't know, and the and the sentiment is right right, Like I we keep a type ship. You know, it's us against

the world, no leaks. I get it. That's a good sentiment, But how are you going to enforce that, bro, Are you really going to fire anybody for talking to the media. You're gonna fire your coaches. You're gonna fire Odell Beckham when he starts popping off in the media when you're like three and five. If you get into a little spell, if Baker gets hurt, I don't think so. I don't think that's how it's gonna happen. And so for me, while I appreciate the sentiment, I read a little deeper

into this. Remember I say all the time, Freddy Kitchens, rookie head coach, never been more than a positional coach. I just don't think this is the right way to go about it. I just don't think and it's indicative to me. I'm worried about the Browns if they hit adversity. I don't know that first year head coach Freddy Kitchens isn't is ready to handle the ego, the drama that may come if the Browns don't get off to the start that everybody expects them to. I was early on

the Browns. It's gone a little bit too far. Okay, so I think the values Pittsburgh in the anf C North. But I digress. One of the things I was gonna tell you is and and this is the point I was making on the Monday Show when we talk about waiting on quarterback, okay, and why we do tears because we're splitting hairs here. I want you to go to your league from last year, and I want you to see how many games we're actually like, five points are less or three points are less. We call that a

game of inches. And Danny, I'm gonna bring it full circle with game of is a little bit later on in the show. But out of your wins last year, let's say you were a pretty good fantasy team and you went, you know, you went nine and four. Check those nine wins, how many of them were by less than three points? Not many? Those are game of inches. Or how many of your four losses were by less than three points? Not that many? And I want you

to keep this in mind. At the quarterback position, the difference between last year's QB seven, who was Deshaun Watson, and last year's QB eleven, Philip Rivers, was a grand total of four points. That's less the point a week, and then all the way down a QB fifteen, who was Mr Drubisky, another fourteen points. It's another one point a week, less than one point a weekend. Fat So when you see these tears right and you get anybody in the middle tier, this is like we're talking abou

less than a point for quarterback. Okay, different at the running back position. You look at the ninth best running back, it was David Johnson. Contrast that with uh running back nineteen, who was Steven Coleman. That's the difference between a back in k RB one and a back in RB two. That's a real difference. That difference was like fifty to sixty points. That's more like three to four points a week.

That can be the difference at wide receiver, going from Digs who was wide out ten to even Tyler Boyd who was wide out seventeen. That's a forty five point difference. That's like two and a half. All this means weight on quarterback, the difference is not as big. Meanwhile, the drop off at running back, the drop off at wide

out is a lot more. And that's why we say wait on quarterback, that's why I said earlier in episodes about two weeks ago that in my top seven picks, I'm looking to come away with three running backs, three wideouts, and maybe my tight end because I'm gonna like that tier of tight ends. That's like, you know, the excuse me, the Cooks, the advances, the hunter Henry's. You know, those are the tears that I'm gonna look at it and I'm gonna get that in round six and round seven.

All right, wait on quarterback, but I digress. That'll be um advice that we give to all these people that are in our stats over beats League. So Danny, I want you to first put up the image that has like the levels and stuff that I was talking about, the gold and stuff. Yeah, so yah, who is doing this? Check this out? If you are bronze, if you have like a rating, they're giving everybody like a rating based on all the leagues they've ever been in on Yahoo

at least. And if you're bronze, are in like the sixty percentile or lower silver with that score, you're in like the between sixty eight. Then gold and platinum. They're a platinum though platinum if you have a score in the eight hundreds. You are a part of the five percent that are the best. And if you are Diamonds with over nine hundred as that score, you are literally, you know, the spitting statistician, the stable genius, the vocal minority.

Never liked the term one percenters, But in football, fantasy football, if you're diamond you are a one percenter. So that's pretty cool. And so Danny, let's bring it back because I want to again thank the stats over Beat Cipher. We're doing this league. We got fourteen teams and let me tell you something. We got my man Danny Otto and Danny you can get on the mic here as well. You and me, we're in the league. That's two of us. Listen,

Now put a put a put up the other thing with everybody in the league, Danny, and check this out though you see strong style, Danny Otto the Tampa pick six. This is the league right now. We got fourteen people. But remember what we did before, Danny,

with those levels and you're you're killing it. You gotta score seven seventies six, Danny, you're a goal old person. What does that mean? You're like percentile right, I think that's not bad. Eighty one through like nine five, Danny. That means you are better, Danny. You you perform better than eighty percent of the people that play in Yahoo. Danny,

that's pretty cool. Check out Strong Style doing it. But we have not one, but two diamond members of our league, Danny men Bo Bruce is part of the one percent. His team right now is named Juju. What it is like Yahoo Saba right, so we'll see if he does in fact draft Juju and your boy, Dane the Spitting Statistician is a five. You can take that off right now. But Danny, I am legitimately better than you know to

pent of the people who play. So Danny am I the am I the odds on favorite to win this league. Then I mean I would I don't know right, so that we'll see. We'll see. And here's what we're gonna do to next week. We will randomize the draft order. I'll flip over my computer, I'll hit the U and we'll see how it does. It will do that live. And I want to say, here's the other thing. We're gonna be drafting tomorrow afternoon, so you definitely want to

check us out. It'll start on the Frenzy, it'll continue on BFFs. But Danny, check this out. Here's what I want to do. And tell me if you like this. I know you only got a minute.

Well, if it's you, then maybe we'll go to the second one and we'll try to get every bone on thanks to everybody who wanted to be down eight. Maybe we'll do it even bigger next year. Maybe we'll grow to like

Scottie Fish. Who knows. When we come back, we put the fun and functional sports content, and I also dig into the lower tiers of the quarterback position where the diamonds in the rough are, because y'all need to wait on quarterback.

We got people saying that they're diamond rated in other in their leagues. People that didn't make the statue of Beat Cipher league. But it's all good. Thanks. Big shout outs the decks of Rojas. Big shout out to Perry Ing, He's a real deal. People in the statue of Beat Cipher.

We couldn't fit everybody. I got a question from Doug Age. He's asking me speech and wait on quarterback. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, wait on quarterback unless you can get Rogers, Mahomes or

Luck in the fourth round or later. Right, I mean there is a you know, everyone has a price, right, there is a time where if everyone falls, there is value so I will give you that, Doug, I personally though you know I and I made this point about the positional perspective, you know, and that what in that fourth round, in that fifth round, even if you know Aaron Rodgers is there Andrew Luck is there, the fifth round, running back that I can get, the caliber of running

back is gonna be important, like running back dries up. You know what I'm saying, Doug, it really does. So in the fifth round, even if Aaron Rodgers is there, but like Mark Ingram is there, you know, I'm gonna take the running back and then I'm gonna be fine with the running back I get later on. So yeah, Mendel Bruce, big shout out to you. Of course, everybody's talking about strong styles, talking about it's gonna be a good league. Welcome to everybody. Scotti too, hottie, a strong style.

We'll see if it's gonna Scotty too hottie or Scotty doesn't know you know what I'm talking about. Clayton trey Han of course, listen, statue would beat Cipher is so strong. Um strong style also says, can't wait for the week we face Dane. Maybe we'll also do that maybe we'll do game of inches anybody or my opponent for the next week. Alright, because if you remember and your real deal status with Beat Cipher last year in the Gretted Street Averon League, our homeboy Jim Ross, who I'm sure

it will become on him back sometime soon. Um. You know, he was playing me in the greeni Stree Tavern League. I'd let him set my his my line up against him, and he made some decisions and I wanted them beating him because of it. So you know, I'm down to let anybody do that because I'm gonna have you know, hashtag my bench better than your starters. Shout out to Rhodo where but I digress. Let's get it all right, Um yeah, strong Style, you're gonna call him. That's what's up.

That's what's up. That's what I'm talking about. It's gonna be popping good look to everybody. We'll take care of it and we'll talk about but throughout the entire season, Uh, you know, making everybody feel good like they're part of the Cipher. Remember last week also I talked about the

real community here. The statue of Beat Cipher is, you know, and how in a in a day and age where people at the top of the power of poper chain or in essence fading the public, fading the public, you know, the public being the character of the American people, who we are as a people. I think the community that is the status of Beat Cipher is gonna be great on this. But in any event, all right, let's talk about these quarterbacks. I told you about Tier one and

Tier two already, so let's it in. Listen in Tier three. I gotta tell you something. I think Big Ben is a value. He's going as QB thirteen. He led the NFL in passing last year, and he led in attempts, he led in completions. Okay, he's been there the last

few years. The fact that literally in the twelve te team league, you can wait until everybody else drafts a quarterback and you can still get Big Ben Roethlisberger, and then you could pare them with the Jamis Winston, who's another diamond in that level, or or Kyler Murray, who's another diamond in that level. Give me if I wind up with Kyler Murray and Big Ben, I'll take it all day. If I wind up with Philip Rivers and

Jamis Winston. I'll take it all day over. Back to the question Andrew Luck in the fifth round over Matt Ryan in the sixth round, over these guys, Cam Newton, these other guys that were my fool gaze. He's has been round in Tier two, the breezes, the cams. Let me get those guys, and I'm targeting those guys as QB like twelve thirteen, Big Ben, Jamis Kyler Murray. Those are the guys I like, all right in in that tier though, one guy that I'm fading, one guy that's

a full gaze. He's someone to forget about for me, as Mitchell Trobinsky. All right, I know he has some rushing potential, but honestly, guys, and this ties back to I'm fading the Bears offense this year. I'm fading the Bears on the whole. I don't think they make the playoffs this year, right, And part of it is even tied to the defense. The defense, you know, scored six turnchdowns last year, put people in real tough spots all over the place. Trabisky had a six touchdown zero interception game.

Kind of joking the stats a little bit. I am down on Trabinsky and the Bears, and in that level, give me Jamis instead. Okay, in tier four and this is if you're in a UM you know, two quarterback league, super flex kind of league, there's gonna be times where you're gonna need to worry about which quarterbacks between QB you know, eighteen and twenty five do I target. Remember it's the tier, right, so I lean to some of

these running quarterbacks. Still Lamar Jackson is still there, if Josh Allen is still there, Listen, Josh Allen has much better weapons than last year, much better weapons than last year. And it goes back to the second year jump. If you believe that Baker Mayfield's gonna take this jump, if you believe that sim Donald's gonna take this jump, and maybe Alan can take a little jump as well. And when you tell me that he you know, they went out and got cold Beasley into the security blankets, lock

guy John Brown as a deep threat smoke. You know, the situation is a little bit better for him this year, and I think he could progress. He's someone I'd be comfortable with a little bit later on if you waited. And also check this out. He had six hundred and thirty one rushing yards eight rushing t d s. Do you know how much that is, especially if you're you're in one of those leads where it's like four point touchdowns and it's used to the running quarterbacks. All Right,

Um and the second year development. Check out these numbers. His completion percentage is only set. That's the kind of number I expect to take a tick up in year two. Right He Um had the highest percentage of off targets throws, the ones that are like on him of his throws last year, we're quote unquote off target. You bring that down to like fifteen, to a representative number, and you have more like last year there was like Robert Foster z Jones. Right now at least there's like NFL caliber

Cole Beasley, John Brown. These are like you know, t J. Yelden out of the backfield. These are legitimate NFL guys, and I think that will really help Um. Josh Allen. Okay, so he's a guy like down there. I'm I'm on Sam Donald at that level down there, and remember you're gonna get you know, I'm seeing Kirk Cousins go as QB nineteen. Okay, So you will have options. I can't say it enough. Wait wait wait, um, guys that would not like them, and I've said it before, do not.

I want no part of the red rife. Landy Dalton, we've seen his wife, his wide receiver room, it eviscerated. I think they're gonna put the kid, Bryan Finley in there towards the second half of season, and with Maddie Stafford. Listen, I'm not making light of anything. Okay. We know that Detroit's trying to move to more of a running offense. We know about that. But there's another factor here. You know, these people are human. Matthew Stafford's wife is going through

serious health issues. I believe she has like a brain tumor. Okay, And I'm not making light of this at all. I'm saying, if that's a factor, his wife isn't as serious health concerns, Okay, So I can understand because his mind is not fully there. Okay. Um. And I'm not saying that, um, so make light of it. I'm not saying that, um because it's a joke, you know. But imagine like if you if your wife had this, would you not be a little bit preoccupied at work? Okay?

And I think it's completely valid, but I do think it's an interesting thing that y'all need to know. All right, So we're gonna randomize the draft order for stats over beats next week that the quarterback position. Okay, next week, what we'll do is, I don't know, we'll do running back or wide out, because like, I think it's really interesting in running back. And I'll say this, and I've been in some expert drafts over the last couple of weeks. In running back, takem early. This is not the zero

RB year. It drives up quick. I've been telling you I want those running backs. I've been telling you you gotta get one of the top guys, especially now with the concern around Zeke, especially now with the concern around Melvin Gordon. You gotta get you know, your share of the top the stable. Oh, I don't know. For me, it ends right around Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook, Leonard four net in that area. I don't like Chubb and Gurley.

So that'll be what we talk about. But then I'll give you the guys in the lower tiers that I do like, guys that I think are a little bit fool crazy. Then in wide receiver. Listen, the more about the story and wide receiver, and we'll talk about this in the next couple of weeks. The value is gonna fall, like there's so many decent wide receiver twos and threes that you'll have your pick of the litter. But we'll

dive into that a little bit later on. Remember, we also got to pull question up on Twitter at spitting speeds. Over hundreds of people have answered it already. You guys are most concerned with Melvin Gordon as a keeper? Then scent, say Zeke Elliott nineteen percent, say Antonio Brown, Say Andrew luck with Melvin Gordon because the thing is he I don't think he's getting traded. People people talking about Houston. No, Duke Johnson got traded to Houston, all right, So he's

gonna just straight miss games. Alright, So Austin Neckler needs to be bumped up a little bit as well. But that's what we'll do. Next week will be the wide receiver, a running back week will break down, um, what we did in the pit of misery league, and some people were asking, we're gonna do it as a real league. Okay, We're gonna do the draft live on the shows tomorrow and guys, we randomized the draft order for this pit league. We're gonna do randomize the status of Beats League order.

Um next week, you're right strong style by the way, Um, James White over Sony Michelle for sure, absolutely, for sure. I don't like Chubb, Dexter Rojas, I don't like Chubb. I like Chubb as a player. The problem is you're drafting is an RB one, and then when Kareem Hunt comes back in the second half of the year, when you're trying to make your fantasy push and your playoffs, he's not gonna be what you thought he was. He's gonna be less volume. And that's a problem for me

from my RB one. Like I said, I want a stable floor. I like the player. I just don't want to ask my RB one. But in any event, Um, one of the things that I wanted to talk about, we're gonna we're gonna break down league and you're gonna randomize the status of Beats League. But one other thing, Danny, I wanted to ask you about, because, um, you know it's so crazy these days, Danny. You know how like athletes they gotta take their drug tests, right, Danny, as

we put the fun and functional sports content here. And you know, for a while we've talked about, oh, they can cheat the system with performed to dancing drugs. They have the gummies and that we've said like, oh, the piss test is really kind of like an idiot test, right because if you hey, because if you fail that, like you know when the drug test is coming. Everything

from Get Clean. We've heard stories of people like you know, doing crazy things with fake urine or getting urine on the black market and stuff like that, right, Danny, Yeah, Danny, you have you've heard of this? Right? Yeah? I was about to say, they can buy hi, my ear and I'm good, you're clean. Well, they could buy your urine. I don't know if it will help him pass a piste, but in any of it. Um, So, somebody tried this.

They were I think it was the NBA D League, all right, And then you want to know how they caught the guy who was obviously he wound up using a friend's urine instead of his own to try to beat the piss test. Danny, There it is, and it came back positive for pregnancy. There it is, d J Cooper. Okay,

his drug test came back positive that he was pregnant. So, Danny, I ask you, when you are using someone else's urine and passing it off as your own, I would think the first step, Danny is at least to use another male's urine. What do you think, yeah, I mean, just to be safe. And what do you think it was in the lab? You know, when they're running the tests right and they're like, uh, this guy's pregnant, and they're like, not running again, No, no, no running again. It can't

be running again. What do you think they thought? You know, Mendel Bruce, I like that, he says, I score quote unquote very high on my drug test. I like that one a lot. Mendel Bruce. By the way, big chat to you, Dilly dilly to you, my friend. Um, but Danny, what do you think do you think they were like how many times do you think they ran that test to make sure that that's what it actually was? Three?

All right? And then who do you think was the person that had to break the news to this dude, like, bro, you clearly we're cheating. Or do you think they tried to get him to admit it or something? How do you think this went down. That's what I wanted. Yeah, it was probably like they tried. They just set him down and talked to him about the type of thing. Yeah right, it was like, listen, bro, we know I like that strong style, taking a little of his inner

MORI reprovitch out of here. We've got the results back. And you are not the father because you are the mother. There's an old joke like the plane crashes and like the the doctor comes and says like, oh, I can't treat him. It's my son, and everyone assumes that it's impossible because the father died in the plane crash and the doctor really the mother. Um. That's an old joke from like the eighties. But you know, we're in this two thousand and nine nineteen hashtag times up environment, so

we would never I think that way. All right, I'm gonna be on here tomorrow after well, I'm gonna be on here next hour in Game Live. I'm gonna be on here tomorrow morning for making rain. I'll be on here tomorrow afternoon for the draft. But that happens, the spitting statistician is here to hold you all down because it is draft season, a huge time of year.

I need your help. Here's what you miss on the morning line brooks Kopka every week, I'm like, I'm not betting him, man I'm just not betting him outside of a major. After a couple of weeks ago at the St. Jude where on Sunday tied with Rory mcelroyd the number two player in the world, and he showed up forty minutes before his tea time, basically rolled out from the parking lot onto the t box, went out shot five under an embarrassed Rory McElroy who had been there for

hours practicing. Yeah, I'm good man, like Brooks Kupka is. If this was Tiger Woods, all right, think about this, If this was ten fifteen years ago and Tiger Woods had done this, gone into a tournament, we'd all be betting Tiger Woods from here on out going. Do not doubt him. Yet there are still people I heard on this very network all week long ago and now I'm not gonna take um nah. You know, I know he's

number one. And if this was Tiger Woods ten years ago, for the most part, Tiger and his prime that this is Brooks Kupka is the equal here, if not a little bit better what he has done over the last couple of years. The guyazing form. And yet people are still doubting him and going. But if it was Tiger they'd be like, oh yeah, I got a bit Tiger Woods, but I don't care if it's three to one, two to one, even money, I don't care Tiger Wood's gonna

win this tournament. We're not saying it with Brooks Kupka, which again is part of the problem, which is what fuels him, which is why the narrative going in a couple of weeks ago was he doesn't care about tournaments outside of Major's. Well, he cared. He cared enough to to roll Rory McElroy on a Sunday wins the St. Jude, and I got this feeling that Brooks Cupka is just gonna want to put an end to this whole drama with the FedEx Cup. He's number one right now on

the list. He wins one or two of these next four tournaments. Guys, it's all you can't catch him. You just can't catch him. So something tells me that if Brooks Cupka wants to go out and make another statement, then he will do it at this golf course in the Northeast, which he has played very very well. He loves these greens, he loves these golf courses. You would be crazy to fade. Uh, Brooks Cupka this week not only what I back him into every matchup known to mankind,

I would also definitely at eight to one. You take him at eight to one because this was Tiger Woods and what you are looking at his Tiger Woods of twelve years ago, guys, same four, maybe even better then what Tiger was in his prime. Uh yeah, you'd all be betting Tiger. And I think it's ridiculous if you're not backing Brooks Kupka, you're expecting somebody from the twenty to one range to win. This tormuluent could very well be.

But if you don't have Brooks cup on your card, you guys are I don't know what where you've been able, what you've been watching. Can Rory win? Sure, Rory can be there, but you know what Rory's already proven when just like Tiger proved all those years
