Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Unknown 0:18
Welcome in.
Andy Holloway 0:29
Saturday edition, the Fantasy Footballers. Gentlemen, do you realize one week from today... I was just looking.
Mike Wright 0:39
When is the Hall of Fame game?
Andy Holloway 0:40
Well, I was going to say August 1st is one week from today, which is the beginning of.
Mike Wright 0:45
The beginning.
Andy Holloway 0:46
The beginning of the beginning. It is the beginning of our five days a week episodes.
Mike Wright 0:51
August 6th is the Hall of Fame game.
Andy Holloway 0:54
Cardinals, right? I think maybe Cardinals Saints. Cardinals Panthers.
Mike Wright 0:58
Oh, Panthers. The new look. Arizona Cardinals.
Andy Holloway 1:02
The funny thing is you will probably get a lot of Carson Beck in that game. That's not that funny, though. That's more sad.
Mike Wright 1:08
I can tell you I won't watch it. Yes, you will. I don't think I've ever watched a Hall of Fame game in my life.
Andy Holloway 1:13
We watched a little bit of them.
Mike Wright 1:16
Yeah, like you turn it on and you watch a throw or two.
Andy Holloway 1:18
I mean, football's football, man.
Mike Wright 1:20
Jacoby reported.
Andy Holloway 1:23
Just hasn't been paid yet. His agent said that they're working on it.
Mike Wright 1:26
They agree. It's him. At least at the time of this recording, they still just agree there should be more money. But they can't agree on how much.
Andy Holloway 1:34
They actually told him to check under his pillow every night at camp. And at some point, the contract fairy is going to come in. Well, you're going to wake up.
Mike Wright 1:43
There's going to be a crisp Andrew Jackson under that pillow for you.
Andy Holloway 1:48
There's a lot more than that coming to rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who finally signed his deal. That was news we got earlier this week. What is going on today? Our final divisional breakdown episode, the NFC West.
Mike Wright 2:05
It's the other clue that we are about to be full go. When the divisions are done, it's time to really, really play fancy football.
Andy Holloway 2:15
The Ultimate Draft Kit available right now. If you want to head over there, check it out. The Mock Draft Tool, now a part. UltimateDraftKit.com. The Draft Analyzer went live at the beginning of this month. You can get breakdowns to all of your drafts coming up and how we review them, where your strengths and weaknesses are, things like that. And if you're an Ultimate Foot Clan member, you get everything all season long. Quick question of the day says this. Any tips for how you handle training camp hype and news? I mean, I will tell you right now, we have a Slack channel. It is the longest named Slack channel that we have. It is camp-highlights-and-hype-train because we are always sharing things going on in camp.
Andy Holloway 2:58
But what types of things are you looking for in that news that you care about and what do you ignore?
Mike Wright 3:02
I think the first most important thing on how to handle camp news is to assume that there's another site. Like, don't just read something and go... You live your life. Yeah, sure. I mean, there's two lines of thinking. One is... confirm all your biases yes and anything that comes out that is what you thought you just know that you are going to be right but this time of year like a perfect example very very recently in the last i think two weeks there was reporting that david montgomery was and that the houston texans viewed david montgomery as a true three down workhorse back and he is going to get all the workload and within the same exact time frame a news report came out saying david that him and Woody Marks are going to split the carries.
Mike Wright 3:52
They are not both right. I promise that. I can promise that he is not a three-down workhorse and he's going to get all the work and also splits evenly with Woody Marks. So if you only see one of those, you're led astray. So I think the best thing you can do is – Just casually read these news blurbs, think about it, and then see if you keep getting – we talk about that drumbeat, but if you keep getting that same information over weeks and over months – Yeah, just let the little train start rolling. But it's not a bullet train. Don't get on the bullet train.
Andy Holloway 4:34
Yeah, I think it is exciting whenever you get the opportunity to hear about players that you care about. I mean, it's super fun. You're also going... I mean, you could kind of pivot the question into preseason highlights and plays and things like that.
