One MANS Opinion: Episode 311 – Quick & Quiet

Welcome to one man's opinion brought to you by the elite fantasy fantasy guru and elite sports betting dot com and now here's your host Jeff man's. All right, let's get right into it. Welcome in everybody episode three 11 of the podcast and sweep of the nation. This is one man's opinion and you may notice my sexy but raspy voice here today. If you've been listening to the radio show elite sports on serious sex and fantasy sports radio, you know why I don't know I woke up on Sunday morning and my voice was gone. It is slowly coming back. I'm not really sick, although I didn't have a bit of a like a little bit of headache and some things over earlier in the week. Nevertheless, the voice is coming back. I was not planning on doing the podcast this week because of it, but you guys have been so amazing, so awesome supporting the show, commenting, liking, favoriting. So I want to get something out to you, but I don't also don't want to tax my vocal cords. I don't want to hurt that and jeopardize the radio stuff either. So this is going to be a quick and quiet. One man's opinion. So two things that are very unusual. I don't know I'll may go for 20 to 30 minutes today on this one. Just want to get some stuff out there. I had planned on doing the coaching breakdown podcast. I'm going to push that to my voice is healthier. A reason being is I need to express myself a lot more on that one with coaching and little intricacies and all that. It's a lot more detail, a lot more information, a lot more yappy, happy on the voice box. So I'll push that off till next week. And this one I'm just going to give you guys something that I think is good and I'm going to go deep sleepers sort of simple players. I'm targeting in the deep rounds and then super deep rounds at each position. So that's where I'm going with that. If you are new to the show, my name is chef, man, so you can hear me weekday afternoons on serious XM fantasy sports radio three to six PM Eastern on elite sports hosted that show Monday through Friday. I am also the part owner and chief content officer over at fantasy guru.com. That's the place to find all of my work as well as my unbelievably incredibly talented team over there at fantasy guru.com. We've got our 2026 fantasy football draft guide live. It's unsailed now. Dynasty guide, best ball guide, betting guide, the FS guide fantasy football 101 by the number series auction guide rankings and projections and discord and shows and fantasy football training camp that's coming up in the middle of about one month from today. I believe actually our training camp. So get over to fantasy guru.com go see it. The coaching breakdowns are live. I am so proud of the work we put into that shout out to Mike Horn, who is a long time fantasy guru contributor. He has been so great at creating the charts and tables for me that go in to the coaching breakdowns and Mike does a great job. He was second overall NFFC championship the overall in two thousand twenty three almost took the whole damn thing down. Mike is a very, very good player and very good analyst as well helps us out with all of those. You can't get the information anywhere. That's the thing. It's taken me six months to develop these things every single year. And I really am proud of the work this year. I think we did more of a fantasy focus if you will schematics. I didn't I hope at least I did not waste anybody's time in the coaching breakdowns talking about things that don't matter. Yes, everybody pre stamp motion. I'm a great guy. Kyle Shanahan off shoot offences. Yes, West Coast route running. Okay, I did repeat that a lot, but I think I got a lot more direct into the point. And we're I carved out the edges. And that's what I did. I think in general, my work this year all over, I'm really trying to I know I'm wordy and I talk a lot, but I'm trying to filter out the stuff that doesn't matter. By the way, this is still an uncensored podcast. That means I'm going to say the dirty words, the naughty words. I'm going to curse and all that right. So just that's why I turned the volume down. If the shows that for you totally understand, not for young or the faint of heart. But I cut out a lot of the shit. That's what I wanted to say a lot of the bullshit. Like just, you know, just got two more of the points. So anyway, proud of that work. Those coaching breakdowns are live over at fantasy guru.com. And like I said, that stuff you use that to impress your friends. You'll tell them, hey, do you know the air heart Perkins offense, the Brian DeBall uses, oh, yeah, you know, I know, but you could talk about that. You can talk about blocking schemes after you can talk about offensive schemes, defensive schemes, defensive front coverage patterns. Run blocking, pass blocking, like you'll know so much. It'll also help you draft. It'll help you isolate which players to draft from which teams, which players to stay away from each team. It also helps you in season as you manipulate the matchups weekend and week out. So coaching breakdowns are just something every fan, let alone player should know whether you're betting or DFS. This is stuff that nobody puts in the time to do this. And they don't read it. They don't pay attention. They there's a lot of people now doing play collar stuff. Play collar stuff doesn't matter. It really play callers. Callers is fine. And we go through that too. But that's that's a very elementary school part of the story. The story is what the offense is and is trying to accomplish. That's what the point is. Who calls the plays and what they've done before. Yeah. I mean, interesting, but not the story. So get it over there. Fantasy guru.com.

My voice started out stronger than I thought, but it's already fading. I could tell. I apologize. By the way, I hate. You know, I should just tell me just take off. Rest your voice, but it's the thick of the season. That's why I want to get something out there. So what we're going to do here. I'm going to go quarterback running back receiver tight end. I'm going to give you my deep sleeper. And a super deep sleeper. Okay. And I'll explain all the wise and how's and all that stuff along the way. But I just, you know, this everybody will get something out of this targets in the late rounds. Okay. So let's start out at the quarterback position. And let's talk about a deep sleeper. Now this player should not be a deep sleeper. But he's quarterback 15 in ADP right now. With an ADP in 97.2, which is way late. Consider it all he's been doing the last few years. It's Jared Goff. I mean, I've said this 16 times. I am very unlikely to wait on quarterback this year. I really am targeting Josh Allen. I would happily settle for Lamar Jackson around or two later. If not Caleb Williams, Drake, me. And if I did wait, I mean, Hertz has been falling. Those are all fine. But if I do wait, I already realize I won't be getting a mobile quarterback. And if I don't, it's like to dose that case guy. I don't always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer dose case. Well, I prefer Jared Goff. What else does he need to do exactly? Jared Goff has been quarterback nine last year, quarterback six the year before that. He has tons of weapons and I'm on Rossing Brown, Jamison Williams, Isaac Tesla, Sam LaPorta, Jim Mirage, and throw two. He's got all that true pet sings offense is a better. I feel better about golf and pet sings offense than I did, which John Morton's offense going into last year. You know, so golf is at the top of his game right now. As far as play now, he obviously the thing is the argument could be made. Jared Goff should be in that elite. He's a quarterback seven three years ago. So like every year in Detroit, he is constantly been a top nine quarterback, 19, 2022. Every year yet he's quarterback 15 this year doesn't make any sense. Anyway. super consistent. And there's an argument that he should be up there with the not enough fantasies sense, but with Joe burrow. Like what is Jared golf? What is Joe burrow done that Jared golf hasn't? Right? Jared golf spent to multiple championship games, got into a super bowl. So it was Joe burrow. I you know, he stayed healthier than Joe burrow. He's put a better numbers than Joe burrow. So, you know, I don't really understand why now again, little bit younger, Joey B, not even as mobile anymore, a little bit more mobile. But realistically, it shouldn't be as big of a gulch there between the two as there is. So if I settle for quarterback Jared, I'd be thrilled to get Jared golf later in drafts and make him my starter. I've no problem. Also, the Lions defense is so much worse this year. And what you're talking about a defense that just lost its best corner, it likely will be without its top two safeties and Brian branch and Kirby Joseph to start this season. Roger McCurray and Christian IZ and Rocky send those are their three current top corners and they are fucking awful. Straight up fucking awful. They lose Alex Anzaloni. So he was their guy who covered tight ends the last couple of years. I mean, yeah, Anzaloni is very good when now down in Tampa, I believe. And it's like this defense has taken a shellacking. So that means more pace, more passes for Jared golf. So it would not surprise me if he finishes is the top five quarterback this year. Getting them at quarterback 15 is great. Super late. And this is a guy I'm just starting to sweeten on a little bit. And I wanted to talk about him here because he deserves it. I think and that's cam ward cam ward quarterback 24 80 P 142 point 24. I wish he had I wish that cam ward had more of a mobile upside than he does. Just doesn't run enough. He will take off. He will especially in and around the green zone. Cam ward will run. He's not a mobile guy though. It's not his bag, if you will. And in that spirit, it kind of leaves it lacking if cam ward did run more, if he ran this, if I could count on him like price young. How's much as price young runs, right? Or obviously Daniel Jones. If that were the case, I'd be way more excited about cam ward. But here's the thing with cam ward. Here's he's a fierce competitor. You know, he needs more development, but does put in the work. And most importantly, Brian DeBal, the new office coordinator loves him. Brian DeBal's worked with Tom Brady that worked with Josh Allen. Brian DeBal is realistically the guy who built Josh Allen, at least at the NFL level. And let's be honest, also built Daniel Jones at the NFL level. I should say rebuilt both of them wasn't their initial coordinators, but came in and resurrected both Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, helped Tom Brady out. I mean, he is a very good quarterback mind. And now he's the office coordinator in Tennessee. And he DeBal had his pick. There's 21 jobs open at office coordinator. There was 10 head coaching jobs. Heat by pest. The opportunity to interview in Miami and Tennessee in order to work Miami and Cleveland, I'm sorry, to work with cam ward in Tennessee. That's I'm surprised. I mean, shocked realistically, but it's what he did. So I believe in Brian DeBal and cam ward got much, much better as the season went on last year. I think the final game or two, but nevertheless was very, very good over those for those last four or five weeks that he played. Right. So that's a good springboard for him. Also, they just the offences in much better shape. And it off front, lose Kuschenberry, Kuschenberry fine. But I like the fact that they get an experience offensive line coach. They have a real good left side of the line. Go to good right tackle to they bring in Schlotman and Volson and Kuggen and Kermona. They brought in a lot of bodies to fill the two spots that need the center and right guard spot here in Tennessee. I'm good with that. And then you go out and get Wondale Robinson who again, I've been wrong on Wondale. It's obvious by the contract he got Brian DeBal plans on constantly pepper in Wondale Robinson. He knows exactly what Wondale is. He had him in New York. Now he's in Tennessee. And it's also though a really good thing. If you watched episode one of quarterback on Netflix, you heard even last year's staff in Tennessee talking about Callahan, Brian Callahan, talking about you just need to settle for the check down. Don't be upset. You don't have to at home run. You know, things that young quarterbacks don't understand because they had great success in college. And now the ball is going to prove it to him with Wondale Robinson. And you got a healthy Calvin Ridley and you get carnal Tate, one of the better wide receiver prospects in the last 10 years. So you have a lot of weaponry suddenly around a good coordinator, good in-game strategist. So cam ward is that guy is he is not a target. No way in hell. I would trust him as my QB one. But if he's a superflex, he's going late that he's one of the bottom end second starters. I think you're looking for a guy that late that could finish in top 12. I think it's cam ward. I really do. So that's quarterbacks. Let's move on to running backs here and a deep sleeper. And I'm surprised. Jesus. This is one that surprises me. But the more and more I see Kenny Gainwell, Kenneth Gainwell going round pick 100 in that ninth to 10th round range. His ADP right now is, boy, where was 97 point, whatever, something around there. Gainwell deserves to go higher. Really do believe that there's Kenny Gainwell's a good player, 97.79. He's not in Pittsburgh any longer. So there is that part that likely going to take some of that receiving work that he had last year down doubt fully gets 85 catches and 70 plus receptions. Right. But I think he's very right for 50 plus. And within that 400 plus receiving yards again. And the thing about Gainwell though, I believe last year his success as the passing down back in Pittsburgh, his sort of stereotype them in a lot of ways. As, oh, that's what Kenny Gainwell was and Gainwell wasn't that guy. You know, when he was coming out of Memphis, he was a one year starter that was a power back and a very good receiver as well. He spent those four years in Philadelphia. Never really got a full opportunity. But if you recall, he had 10 touch chances first two years in Philadelphia. But he was a low key productive asset. He has 30 plus receptions and three of his five years in the national football league as well. And now he got a real nice contract to go to Tampa Bay and compete with Bucky Irving and Bucky Irving is even smaller and more slender than Kenneth Gainwell. Right. He's a lesser version body wise of Gainwell. He's more dinged up than Gainwell. And most importantly, if you read the coaching breakdowns at fantasy guru.com, Gainwell fits the outside zone scheme very, very well. Right. He is not just I wouldn't say quicker than Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving is slower than people think and Gainwell's faster than people think. Right. They're about the same in the open field. One versus the other. But the perception is different. But Gainwell is a better wide zone runner or outside zone runner. And he's tougher than he looks as well. So I mean, Gainwell was number one in the national football league last year at 114 brush attempts. He was number one in broken tackles per rush attempt. He was 20th in yards after contact. He was eighth in yards per out run out of all running backs. Last year. I mean, Kenny Gainwell every year after year, his broke tech, his break when tackles numbers, yards after contact numbers. They're always very, very good. but now you have to. account for a lack of snaps and touches because that 114 was this most Russia-Temps average at 68 53 84 75 in Philadelphia is four years but gain was a good one and just turn 27 still technically in his prime got a big contract he's got a beatable co-backfield mate in Bucky Irving I think it's a really good get I think you're getting a starter you're getting a starting running back I would I look at Gainl as the the alpha in that backfield I do think Bucky is the starter like I'm using the hyper quotes you can't tell it on a podcast but Gainl is the more valuable asset I do think so so I did get him late is a good one and then if we're going super deep at the running back spot I'm gonna go back to the Tennessee Titans go Nicholas Singleton RB 60 right now in fantasy football an ADP 204.05 is his current ADP I put some outside the top 17 rounds which most drafts on the go to 16 so super duper late the thing about Singleton is he's the handcuffed for Tony Pollard not Tajay Spears and the system that Brian DeBall has put in there is a wide zone run or outside zone run system right but it's it's what they call a multiple it's not 60 40 it's really like 40% outside zone 30 power gap and you know 25 inside zone and five pin and pull that's about what it equates to and everything except outside zone Nick Singleton Nick Singleton is the only power gap man gap money back in Tennessee so I think right out of the gate he's gonna get a lot better looks right out of that just to split a little bit with Tony Pollard so he's got that he's got catchability out of the backfield too he had miserable final year at Penn State he got passed by K-Tron Allen but Singleton was once projected as a first round talent at the running back position and going into last year at Penn State before everything fell apart he was looked at in that vein so I think Singleton a lot and you know perfect comp is super late Pollard's also old depending on Tennessee and what they do with their you know at the trade deadline maybe Pollard gets traded I'm surprised Pollard still on Tennessee I waited all off season I thought for sure they'd make a move drop in what they didn't kudos to Pollard and I think Pollard's an interesting value too he just for that third or fourth running back that you need but if you're looking for a lottery ticket Nicholas Singleton is that guy all right wide receivers spot I'm gonna do something unconventional with when you're talking about a deep sleeper list right I'm gonna go with a very safe player that just so happens to be going late and that's Jacobi Myers I just look at the marketplace on Myers and you don't want to I know lately on the radio and on here we've been talking a lot about how the industry in the marketplace I don't want to oversell that aspect of the draft because it isn't just about getting good deals and values it is very much about getting the right players but I think in this case Jacobi Myers at Widersy were 41 95.06 ADP that's just way too late for a guy like him right he came over in a trade and it should be no surprise a couple of things the Jacksonville Jaguars offense did not take off until Jacobi Myers got there and it was perfect pretty much perfectly in line with the injury to Travis Hunter too so Hunter goes down and Myers gets into town and things start going it was the best self for Trevor Lawrence the other thing is this and this is something that against the marketplace Parker Washington is going off the board a full round ahead of Myers Parker Washington plays the majority of his snaps out of the slot and Parker Washington is more of a slot wide receiver than he is an outside wide receiver and why that matters is I really think we need to be concerned about all slot only wide receivers the reason being is these teams are playing a lot more 12 and 13 personnel that means multiple tight ends on the board right so a multiple tight ends on the field if you're playing 12 and 13 personnel you're not using that third wide receiver you may use the slot receiver but it's gonna be a tight end and what do you know Jacksonville just gave Brent and Strange $40 million Jacobi Myers got a three or 60 million dollar contract Jacobi Myers has the is being paid the 25th most among all NFL wide receivers so that makes him the clear number one in Jacksonville now Washington showed well Brian Thomas was amazing two years ago most of that with Mac Jones but Myers is the number one in Jacksonville and he's paid as such so Washington's five nine you know understand he's more of a slot kind of guy is a good one and there is a good rapport between him and Trevor Lawrence last year but we also know that Jacksonville went out and drafted two tight ends and bore creature and Tana Cosiel so and gave Brent and Strange a ton of money so we have to be worried about how much 11 personnel they play if that number goes below 60 percent and Myers can play the slot too by the way so like how are they arrange all these guys and utilize these guys and does Travis Hunter get what 10% 5% of offensive stamps you know it comes at the expense so people are getting squeezed out here and to me I think Jacobi Myers is the least I think it's more likely Brian Thomas gets squeezed out than Myers I think it's most likely Washington gets Parker Washington gets squeezed out so Myers is the top of the totem pole here remember Jacobi Myers finished wide receiver 19 last year and now he's going wide receiver 41 he his pace just with the Jaguars was 218.9 fantasy points he scored 219 fantasy points last year that is pretty wild by the way I mean exactly where we want him to be in terms of production and so anyway Jacobi Myers that was a pace for 218.9 fantasy points wide receiver 19 so there you go that's the pace as he had last year he did not have under four receptions in any game he started last year which is the only one he didn't start and played for the Jaguars is the very first game he played 25% of snaps had three catches so and Myers plays 60 40 outside versus the slot so he's more of the outside it's just a safer play those two had really good chemistry Lawrence and Myers it's getting blown out of proportion that it was all Parker Washington last year and Parker Washington did have a great end of the season no no question about that but it's not like Myers was shop liver and the changes here in terms of the offense and who they paid and who they drafted and also what financial commitments they have to each of these guys it's pretty clear it's Myers over Parker Washington right so I mean at least that's my estimation my belief there so I like Jacobi Myers there good good draft pick deeper and drafts again right around that pick 100 lot of these guys are right around that ninth tenth round wheel where we're still getting some really good value super deep running or wide receivers I'm sorry you know what I'll give you a two four I'll give you a two four because on this one it's very I'm gonna give you one player that is hurt right now it's Chris Bell Miami Chris Bell of the Miami dolphins it is one of the most talented receivers in the straf class. Right, right, be out in carnal tape. I think Chris Bell was second or third on this and Jordan Tyson. I'm a big fan of two, but Bell is very, very good. Feld is a third round. He tours ACL in November. Before that, he was lighting up strong competition. He was an ascending talent. At that point, and it just coincided the worst of times for him in the draft. The thing about Chris Bell and why he's on the super deep sleeper list is that you probably could just pick him up during the season because most leagues aren't going to draft that deep and go to that place. But if you have deeper leagues and you have keeper accountability where you can keep a guy in rounds you know, 10 through 20 or whatever, that's the type of league set up where Chris Bell makes a lot of sense to me. He will be the number one receiver in Miami next year, 100%. He will be back this year, by the way. He's already running a treadmill, doing workouts. He will likely start training at the end of training camp. He will start on the public list. Do you have missed four weeks at least? They brought on guessing. They hold them out a little bit longer. So that's kind of my belief at least. Who knows? Chance is back week five. And they just roll. Right. There's a chance of that. But they have a week six by that to me. Like week seven on, you know, Chris Bell is very viable and will be the number one receiver on the dolphins almost from Jump Street. So that's the one. If that's and Chris Bell is going off wide receiver 89 to 62.06. So again, he's free. He's just an absolute free square. The other guy I'll point to here is Ted Hurst. Another rookie also in Florida, by the way, but this guy's healthy Ted Hurst in Tampa Bay. Huge fan of him. He's when we look at the Buckeneers and look at who they lost, obviously Mike Evans. All right. Who is the guy most likely to get those snaps and touches? Well, it's not a meekabooka. And they kind of said it. Now Zach Robinson. Oh, that's another thing. By the way, I didn't even mention Zach Robinson was talking about gain well. Did I guys? Yeah, Zach Robinson. He's from the Rams. He's been the last three years off of its coordinator in Atlanta. So he knows the division and all that. High, high, high target share to run he backs. Another reason I love gain well. Shame on me for not mentioning that before. But then we go here. And he uses a primary X. And that X has a lot of first read to it. He has said that Zach Robinson said, we're going to use a book mostly as the Z in this offense. It's kind of a weird thing. Robinson usually just has an X alpha and interchange is the rest of the routes. So he very rarely assigns like a different position. So that's kind of a weird tell as well. But I could say this with full knowledge. And that is that Jalen McMillan is not an X receiver. Jalen McMillan is downright. Absolutely. He was in Caitlin DeBoer's system in Washington and played out of the slot and played the other side. He and he's not doing that here. So if I Buka is not the X. That means somebody else's my belief is a Buka is the wild card. A Buka the clear number one, if you will, move him all over the formation. Get him open. Have him deep where his former baseball skills was tracking ball is useful. Also his run after the catchability underneath. A Buka is going to be all over. And he's they're going to run him in a variety of different ways out of a variety of different positions. I look at Ted Hurst and I'm like dude, six, four, 210 pounds. He's a leaper. He is a downfield of vertical guy. Let's just be straight up. Is Mike Evans. He's Mike Evans. Just great ball tracking speed. A young Mike Evans at that, right? So Ted Hurst is the guy and he's got to show it during camp. But there's no way he's outside of the top one 92 in fantasy drafts. And right now Ted Hurst is wide receiver 95. He's going later than Chris Bell is going to miss half the season. So I really like this kid. A great deal in Ted Hurst. So and I think he's got a real opportunity. He's stepped right in Mike Evans shoes. No one's going to be Mike Evans thousand yards every year. You know, all that kind of stuff. Let's be clear on what I'm saying. I'm just saying he's got the physical tools and he's in the right position to thrive pretty much right away. That's why I receiver. Let's go to tight ends here. Oh, good on time. Oh, up in 35 minutes. I'm actually late today. The voice is starting to give. So I apologize for you guys on that deep sleeper at tight end. Dalton can Kate. I just I think I just want more. I just want to talk more about Dalton can Kate. He should be drafted higher. And maybe people are starting because he was tight in 14 a couple of weeks ago. I did a TikTok video. He Jeff man on TikTok and he was tied in 14 at that point. He's moved up to 12 at 12.7 5 ADP. It's still 11th round for crying out loud. And can Kate is just. You know, there's a reason he was taken in the first round. There's a reason that he got off to a huge start last season. You know, his first five games. He was on a pace for 87 target 68 receptions 976 yards and 10 touchdowns. That was a pace for 225.6 fantasy points. I would have been tied into in the national football league. Right. So I mean, he was on pace for to be the second best tight end in football and fancy football last year. He gets hurt. He does come back. But, you know, when you look at when he came back, he played in week eight, 22% 34% 26% 26% after 26% he missed two more games. Then came back again, 34% 35% 38 and 13% of stamps. He barely played. Still got two touchdowns in that interim. Still got an average of three balls for 34 yards. Something. But here's the more telling thing to play off games like 54 and 48% of snaps. He racked up 11 targets, nine receptions, 111 yards and two touchdowns. And that was well distributed. By the way, scored touchdowns in each of the two playoff games. So that's very telling you got DJ more now as an alpha receiver with concade underneath that's why I'm in on Josh Allen. I'm in on Allen because it's he's got a lot of weapons and concade is now going to be able to work Shakir DJ more and concade gives Josh Allen a real nice trio. They obviously have to worry about James Cook in the run game and in the receiving game. So I like this a lot. It's the same offense that they were running last year to a tight end friendly offense. So a don't concade guy. I like a lot as a deep tight end sleeper and then if we're going real deep. I'll give you a this was super deep because that one was meh deep. Just Theo Johnson. Theo Johnson, New York giants, right? I understand that it's Isaiah likely job and Isaiah likely is the history with John Harball and all that. All of that is right and I surrender to that 100%. The thing about Isaiah likely and we need to know he's never really panned out. Has he? It's Isaiah likely is like the Santa Claus of fantasy tight end. The myth of him is a lot better than the reality of him. He was always going to be better than Mark Andrews and he never was. He's always going to be the next big tight end and he never was. Fact of the matter is Isaiah likely was the small school college player did okay. Came out young. He's been in the Raven system for four years. Just never amounted to much. Caught touchdowns. He did have 15 touchdowns in four years. That's pretty good. But when you look at the amount of target share to the tight end position from the March accident and it's less impressive. He's still a very good tight end. Very good with the ball in his hands. So he is definitely the starter in terms of fantasy and all that. However, Theo Johnson at the end of last season had was the apple of Jackson, Darts, I, he has a great relationship on and off the field with Jackson. Darts, one of his best friends on the team, not the best friend anymore, I guess. If you remember, um, is it hard not to start forgetting? They asked. They asked Jackson. Who's your best friend on team? You said Theo Johnson. And then during the year, it became scataboon, scataboon him or thickest thieves now, but Theo Johnson's still there. 67 to 64. Theo Johnson's a big dude. It's his third year in the national football league made huge strides at the end of last season, which acts in Dart and, um, I mean, it's incredibly viable late round tight end in my opinion. And the fact of the matter that likely has been hurt previously, he has never played full downs. He's never been this clear starter. Uh, I know they paid him, but at the same time, I just look at Isaiah likely as I, he, this guy's never done it in five years. He absolutely can. He's got a good skill set. But boy, it's far from being a sure thing. And when you have a short thing like Theo Johnson behind you, there's an opportunity. So Theo Johnson, my super deep sleeper tight end 36 to 65.41. He is free in fantasy football as well. So there you go. Um, you know what? I'll give you a kicker. My voice is feeling good. Kicker. I can't believe this guy's going off this late Tyler loop of the Ravens. I know Ravens fans hate him, but the Ravens are going to score a lot this year. They're going to score a lot more and more field goal opportunities. They stuck with the kid despite his struggles last year. And he's going at kicker 14. So Tyler loops should be in top six at the kicker position this year. And then defenses as far as defense special teams are concerned. I can't go anywhere else with the Raiders. I just can't. I look at what the Raiders have and they promote Max Crosby's, you know, favorite guy. And I'm blanking on the name, whatever. But Rob, Rob Leonard. I'm from blanking. I get Jim Leonard and Rob Leonard mixed up. Whatever. He's one of the Leonard. He is the new DC in Las Vegas. But the Raiders just brought in a ton of talent. And they brought in a ton of talent. They could they got rid of Max Crosby and then they get him back. Quitte Pay and Kway Walker and Kobe Dean and Max Crosby still there. Taryn Johnson playing that nickel corner. You got Eric Stokes who could play man coverage, which Jeremy Chen is a turnover machine at safety. Jermard McCoy, who if he was come back, he could have been the number one corner in this draft, Trayton Stokes, who is widely believed to be a first round pick. He is another corner that they drafted like this team improved massively. So they're definitely my sleeper defense. I don't think I will draft the Raiders in the top 12 at defense. But I could see them, especially they're really good schedule to, you know. So anyway, that's my defensive deep sleeper as well. All right, we're going to cut it off right there, man. 45 minutes, not bad, considering the pipes. Uh, once again, apologized to everybody, uh, for the voice and the strain that it's put on, um, battling through baby. I'm trying to do it. I know how important this time of year is getting this stuff out to all of you. And believe me, I've spent six months preparing these coaching breakdowns. It has been torture for me not to be able to talk about them with you all. I have so much swimming in my head, so many ideas and things that I learned throughout this process.
