Thank God..

Not close enough😭been ready since the sb ended haha

[@rickycoe3058]

Jason’s comment about Christian Kirk is so accurate. Every mock I take him in, I feel so bad afterwards.

[@ericsele5500]

I absolutely love drafting Kirk if I took riskier WRs earlier in my draft. If I got Garrett Wilson, Olave, drake london, cooper kupp, tank Dell, Debo, or aiyuk. Players with a high upside but a slight “?” About their situation then Kirk is the perfect safe pick. But if I already have WRs that are already expected to be good, then I’d take players I think have a higher upside than Kirk at that point in the draft. Someone like Christian Watson.

[@justillin4015]

It’s like excessive masterbation. You know you shouldn’t do it, can’t fight the urge, then feel empty with shame afterwards

[@chadclark321]

Titans OL and DL can be underrated. I think Colts have the best chance to challenge but i think the division is a bit closer then people think. Everyone in the division has a solid defense or better. Sweat next to Simmons i think is a huge add to the DL for the Titans

[@blackbandit33]

It's like they never actually watched them. Just ran numbers on Tennessee and Jacksonville

[@tommytimmermann6677]

Curious on why we think the Tennessee defense is so bad? it was the number 1 red zone defense last year. They had corners who were getting cooked for sure and im not saying it was a good defense, but they traded for Sneed and Signed Awuzie. There are some questions marks for sure at LB, Safety and what their draft pick Sweat will be, but now with Dennard Wilson at DC this should be a very much improved defense that was already great in the red zone last year..

[@jonathanhaven1690]

Cincinnati south now. Callahan brought a lot of Bengals players with him. Awuzie so good though for real.

[@Golden0082]

Im with you Andy, I have a Ridley problem as well. In best ball i have 48% exposure. Last year i was off of him due to price

Maybe I'm the last one standing but I don't see Diggs as problematic in locker rooms, just a dude who wants to win! Wish we could talk about him in a different way because I think he has a chance to contribute with Stroud and challenge and teach Nico/Tank to become better. Still rooting for him!

[@domdomdiddy3036]

Problem is he doesn't just wanna win. Even when the Bills were winning, if he wasn't getting the most targets, he was on the sideline sulking and acting a fool

[@jaypiero1353]

I never comment on videos, I usually sit quietly in the back & watch… but the Titans disrespect has gotten out of hand. Sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest. Titan Up boys.

[@DBgColby]

Mike, I had the SAME DREAM!!! That's wild!

[@Beenman2210]

The larger the league, the more valuable qbs and TEs are. The advantage of having TE1 when other teams have TE20 in a 20 man league is huge

[@tmartin8888]

Fournette will get a job in the AFC North. Either another back for Arthur Smith’s stable in Pittsburgh, another back with a pulse to give the Ravens their usual RB by rotation, a sub for Chubb in Cleveland, or a back in the mold of BenJarvus Green-Ellis for the Bengals, who don’t have a power back on the roster. It makes too much sense not to happen.

[@arranwalker4014]

Hey ballers, hope you're doing well, I'm doing my first keeper league and was curious who has the best value, last year I drafted J Gibbs in the 4th, R Mostert in the 12th, and D Achane in the 14th. Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks

Im debating between three keepers. Kamara for a 5th round pick (i've got 2 more 5 round picks) Calvin Ridley for a 9th round pick. Tank Dell for a 9th round pick. Which two do I keep?

Havent watched yet but tank dell is such a sleeper pick this year. Stroud LOVED dell when he was playing. Everyone says Nico is gonna do better cus they have recency bias from the playoff games / after dell was hurt. Nico is gonna bust, Dell is gonna boom, and diggs is gonna be WR2. Mark my words

[@jake_villanueva]

Dell isn’t a sleeper lol

[@gabrielglenn1714]

Not a sleeper. Probably a rd4 pick

[@denniscoleman6753]

Outside of fantasy football, the Titans have made major changes and will be better than last year plus their schedule isn’t too bad.

[@robiapicca5967]

You can't say the Colts had an easy end of the schedule cuz they faced rookies and backups when they were also playing with a backup..

“The history of Lawrence” are we just going to memory-hole the Urban Meyer season? Not many QBs are succeeding in that situation, much less a young guy like Trevor. It’s an excuse, but imo a legitimate one.

[@steb5869]

Richardson’s still unproven, but his ceiling is the 1.01 in both redraft and dynasty SF.

[@michaelkrewina7090]

What does the community think about fractional scoring for kickers

[@tmartin8888]

Mixon hasn’t “bounced around to a few teams.” He was drafted by the Bengals in the second round in 2017. The Bengals immediately came under fire for drafting players with “character issues”. Mixon never had a report about his character in his seven seasons in Cincinnati; rather, he became active in the Cincinnati community. He only just signed with the Texans, in Week One he will officially be playing for only his second team. Devin Singletary, career complementary back and recently backup to Dameon Pierce, may want to get his facts straight before showing his ignorance of starting workhorse NFL running backs.

[@benpattenick7098]

ya, Andy on the left just did not feel right. good to be back to normal

[@keysersoze7126]

[@sirstizz7912]

Christian Kirk always gets overdrafted in my league and I haven't got him since his last year in Arizona

[@chuckchuckerson5364]

[@DontDashboard]

Yall wanna hate Pierce so bad, yet the qb is the one who didnt throw him the ball.

[@nrxchito]

Will Levi’s gameplay reminds me of Kaepernick

[@kingrex1931]

I'm out on the Titans. They have the worst QB room in the league, a terrible offensive line and a bunch of over the hill receivers. The defense will be bad and neither Pollard nor Spears are cut out to be a lead back. I would have to get an amazing deal to pick anyone off of this team, I think they all are being drafted too high at this point based off of name value.

[@hammertime2523]

Mike didn't get the last word this episode

[@the_snicklefritz]

Who forgot to send Papa Josh the memo to wear his plain black t-shirt? 😅

[@calebxw4487]

It is very clear you guys didn’t watch many if any jaguars games-which is fine, but it seems like a lot of the critique unfairly goes towards Lawrence. so much of it was miscommunication with Ridley, dropped passes, poor play calling in key moments, and legit injuries which ended up being the straw that broke the camels back in the second half of the season, truly. As someone who watched every game.

[@stevez4068]

Calvin Ridley just seems like a gamble, ya know? You'd really be betting on him to take him at his current ADP.

[@spartacus2202]

Titan up! We shouldn’t be slept on.

[@timschoonover19]

You guys forget about the fantasy football MONSTER that Priest Holmes was - mind you he had his best years from 28-30 yo. Don’t fall into the age trap (in general). I agree the shelf life of RBs in today’s NFL is low, you also have standouts that defy the conventional wisdom. Leo may be getting long in the tooth, but I seriously doubt he has nothing in the tank.

[@davidcollings175]

Why do they never talk about Anthony Richardson being injury Prone? That was his college story, and he has proceeded to miss 3/4 of his NFL career so far... At least should be mentioned as a risk when drafting Colts...

[@seamusmcavey3826]

he got injured twice in college and finished every game in his last year.

I knew that Jason didn’t watch Titans football games but now I REALLY know that. How could you say this defense was bad. Our best player on defense last year got hurt. We are getting him back. We signed one of the best corners in the game. That’s just ludicrous.

[@DP-gb8qu]

You do realize the titans WAS a bad defense lol they got picked on all year regardless of the issue it WAS a bad defense

[@kingrex1931]

I watched the Titans, and they were bad. Ever since their Cinderella 2019 season, they have let all their good players walk out the door.

[@AwesomeDumplin]

@@DP-gb8qu we were the number one red zone defense. We were middle of the road on both rushing and passing defense. I’ll admit we had a terrible secondary but again, we just signed Sneed and today we signed Adams… I don’t think we’re going to have a bad defense.

[@AwesomeDumplin]

@@kingrex1931 2020 we went to the playoffs. 2021 we were the number one seed in the afc. We had a historic collapse in 2022 after Tannehill got hurt. I will totally agree that the previous regime let a lot of good players walk but I am extremely optimistic about this one.

[@kingrex1931]

[@daneaton8567]

I’ll defend Lawrence to the death. Only reason he is this criticized is because he was a generational prospect coming out of college. Anything less than a top 5 QB is a disappointment to some people. QB 8 in 2022 and QB13 in 2023, better than Herbert both years and has had less than Herbert in terms of weapons and oline. Lawrence has maximized the potential of guys like Kirk, Engram and Zay Jones. He’s had a bad oline and really mediocre weapons/coaching staff since he stepped into the league. I truly believe he’s on the verge of being a consistent top 10 QB and still has the top 5 ceiling if his joke of a franchise can figure out how to assemble a roster. Lay off my boy, I’ll take Trevor in every league I can get him at his current cost.

[@AlwaysTheJags904]

Trevor is 5th in points the past two seasons, 6th in yards. And the 5th most passing yards in a QBs first three seasons. And that’s with the disaster of a coaching staff year one

[@chuckchuckerson5364]

Lawrence has a slightly worse stat line than Minshew, with 1 more game played, and far better weapons..you can cherry pick, and make excuses, but he hasn't been consistently good. I hope he gets there, but don't act like he has proven to even be on the same planet as Herbert, or any other premium talent. I want him to level up, but he hasn't yet. There is no need to defend him, he makes enough money to be criticized for mediocrity.
