How does Jameson Williams' performance impact his draft value?
So, gents, let's take a look at some of the polarizing guys out there, and let's start with some of the early round picks. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey, a little polarizing between these two guys because Pat has him ranked number seven overall, Erickson all the way at 19. So, I feel like I should put on my wig, but it's not here for Fantasy Court. Almost like there's some judgments to be handed out here. Pat Fitzmaurice, let's talk about why people should feel good about Christian McCaffrey coming off a great season in 2025.
Because scared money don't make money. Yeah. I mean, history says that if Christian McCaffrey stays healthy all season, he's giving us 2000 yards from scrimmage, uh,
What should we expect from RJ Harvey in his sophomore year?
double digit touchdowns, a whole bunch of bonus points. If you're in a PPR half point PPR league. Yes. CMC does have a pretty extensive injury history. He just turned 30 and he got a lot of touches last season. There is an elevated injury risk, but McCaffrey has given us either 16 or 17 games at three of the last four years. And if he gets hurt and misses some games this year, Well, I know he's going to smash in almost every game he plays. So if he even gives us 12 games, we're going to get 12 games of smash. So... I think we just need to get like 12 or 13 games, 14 games out of him to have him be worth that mid-first round pick. I mean, Joe, I've been playing this silly little game of fantasy football for a long time.
A couple of years. Yeah, my first draft in a season-long fantasy football league. I think it was a month before Nirvana released Nevermind. Oh, my goodness. One thing I have learned about drafting over the years, like maximizing upside is more important than minimizing downside. And that's why I'm willing to draft Christian McCaffrey in the middle of the first round.
Well, I'm trying to remember. It was nevermind. Ninety one.
Ninety one.
Ninety ninety. Ninety ninety. I was wrong. Ninety one. Wait, no, I was right the first time. September 24th, 1991, two days before my birthday. So that's, that's pretty fun right there. So I can't, who did you draft? Do you remember who you drafted in 1991? Do you remember the player?
Yeah, it was Barry Sanders. You always remember your first ever. It was Barry Sanders. He was my first run pack.
She's just talked about him on the tailgate. I know Andrew's like, so we gave it on the tailgate and the new episode is going to drop. So go check out tailgate. We just talked about players that we'd love to give a Superbowl ring to. And mine was Barry Sanders. So it's my first Jersey. Very cool. So there you go. Full circle moment today, Andrew. I guess the red light therapy and all the stuff that he was doing in Europe is not enough for you.
