Okay.

After

your

FFPC

main

event

slow

your

big

gorilla

drafts.

We're

also

going

to

talk

about

the

players

that

you

need

to

avoid

that

a

lot

of

people

are

overdrafting

right

now.

So

Scott

Brazicki,

the

12

time

FFPC

Dynasty

League

will

join

on

the

show

tonight

I,

I

misspoke

last

I

said

this

our

15th

season

of

the

HSFF

That

is

inaccurate.

This

is

our

14th

season.

So

I,

I,

I

jumped

the

gun

a

little

bit.

We

are

in

season

14,

episode

of

Coming

we're

going

to

talk

about

the,

the,

the

rookies

that

have

fallen

in

good

advantageous

spots

as

well

as

rookies

that

have

fallen

in

less

than

advantageous

spots

here.

And

we're

going

to

be

covering

rookie

drafts

thanks

to

our

good

friend

12

team,

our

12

time

FFPC

dynasty

League

this

last

week.

We're

gonna

get

his

thoughts

on

how

his

teams

have

been

going,

what

done

better

and

Mr.

Frell.

Elliott

Farrell,

A

good

Friday

evening

to

you

here

on

May

9,

2025.

How

in

the

heck

are

you

doing,

Bucky?

Ferrell Elliott

You're

looking

clean

and

tight.

And

you

did

have

it

correct

at

15

seasons

because

in

Covid

year

you

were

so

exemplary

that

you

got

a

two

year

credit

for

a

one

year.

It's

part

of

Biden's

thing.

It

was

a

two

year

credit

for

your

Covid

year.

Yeah,

it's

15

years.

You

got

it

right.

Eric Balkman

All

right.

I

got

it

right.

And,

and

Stephen

Georgos

and.

And

Stephen,

I

apologize

for

you

to

say

that's

Steven

G.

If

I

Stephen

G.

I

apologize

if

I'M

mispronouncing.

He

says

he's

on

the

clock

right

now.

So

I'm

not.

I,

hopefully

I

did

not

get

tapped

out.

I

don't

think

I

got

tapped

out.

I

think

I'm

still

good

on

that.

Ferrell Elliott

Well,

look

at

what

you're

doing

over

there.

Bulky

and

it's

masterpiece.

Eric Balkman

Well,

thank

you.

I,

I'm,

I,

you

know,

I'll

say

this

right

now,

Farrell,

and

you

could

probably

champion

this

as

well.

I

feel

much

more

dialed

in

to

the

fantasy

football

season

when

I

draft

early.

I

started

drafting

in

January.

I've

continued

through

February,

through

March,

through

April

and

now

into

May.

I

just

feel

much

more

set

up

to

win

big

in

the

KFFSC

because

I've

drafted

early.

Travis

Hunter

is

like

a

fourth

or

fifth

round

pick

in

the

kffsc.

He's

definitely

a

fifth

or

sixth

round

pick

in

the

ffpc.

I

go

back

to

what

I

was

doing

in

January.

I

got

him

like

the

13th

round.

Ashton

Genty

is

a

bona

fide

number

one

first

round

pick

right

now.

Go

back

to

KFFSC.

Back

in

January.

I

was

getting

them

in

the

late

third.

So

I'm

very

excited

to

see

how

those

teams

turn

out.

And

for

those

of

you

who,

who

are

wondering

like,

oh,

I,

why

would

I

draft

now?

Because

all

the

value

has

already

been

gotten.

You're

talking

about

very

little

value.

I,

I

shouldn't

say

very

little

value.

You're

talking

about

a

fraction

of

leagues

in

the

FFPC

and

the

kffsc.

You

can

still

cash

in

on

value

right

now.

I

know

you've

been

doing

it

in

the

ffpc

and

I

would

encourage

and

everybody,

and

I

know

you

would

encourage

people

to

do

so

too.

Encourage

people

to

draft

right

now

because

we're

still

in

early

May.

There

is

a

lot

of

great

FFPC

and

KFFSC

values

to

be

had.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah.

You

know,

and

John

Terry,

who's

on

fire

again

as

usual.

And

we

got

to

get

to

his

horse

ratings

reference

too.

But

that's

exactly

right.

And

I

made

our

mailer

this

week.

We

had

third

round

for

Genti,

sixth

round

for

Hampton.

Eric Balkman

So.

Ferrell Elliott

But

we're,

we're

in

a

position.

People

say,

oh,

it's

too

early

to

draft.

It's

never

too

early

to

draft.

And

early

draft

is

where

you

can

make

a

huge

difference.

And

I

appreciate

everybody's

participation.

This

is

the

earliest

we've

ever

been

off

in

the

KFFSC

with

the

main

event.

But

we're

responding

to

the

players

that

want

to

play

and

want

to

draft.

It

looks

like

everybody's

having

a

good

time

and

it

looks

like

you

Balky

are

putting

together

a

masterpiece.

Eric Balkman

Yeah,

I'm

trying.

Steven

says

he's

I'm

putting

my

Henderson

stock

where

my

mouth

is.

I

have

I

I've

taken

Trivian

Henderson

as

my

number

three

running

back

in

I

more

than

one

draft

definitely

in

the

KFFSC

and

if

you

want

to

do

that,

which

I

would

encourage

you

to

do

so

you

can

do

so@kffsc.com

with

the

KFFSC

main

events

often

running

or

good

buddy

Pharaoh

Cullen

Hoffman

messaged

me

on

X

today.

He

said,

are

you

covering

any

FFPC

main

events

this

year?

I

kind

of

want

to

play

my,

my

free

entries

off

on,

on

getting

my

show

or

getting

my

draft

live

on

air.

The

yes,

we

will

be

covering

main

events

but

here's

the

thing.

Draft

because

this

is

when

you're

getting

the

value.

the

Big

the

FFPC

Super

well

Tom

is

already

saying,

bulky,

stay

away

from

my

guys.

I'm

trying

to

see.

No

promises

on

that

tomorrow.

I'm

trying

to.

We'll,

we'll

see

what

happens.

And

I

do,

I

do.

If

I

don't,

I

don't.

I

can't.

I

can't

help

that.

John

Terry,

our

good

friend

Pharaoh

leading

things

off

tonight

on

YouTube.

How

do

you

see

the

Cleveland

back

deal

in

2025?

I

totally

agree

with

with

Farrell

on

this.

This

is

a

good

question.

Ferrell Elliott

Shador

Sanders

is

going

to

rush

for

1200

yards.

That's

what

you

get

for

asking

a

question

like

that

right

now.

John

Terry,

Cleveland,

the

guys

that

are

putting

together

the

depth

chart

don't

even

have

that

figured

out

yet.

What

are

you

talking

about?

Eric Balkman

All

right,

here's

the

thing.

Ferrell Elliott

Make

something

up.

Eric Balkman

I'm

gonna

put

this

on

wax

right

now.

If

Shadir

Sanders

rushes

for

1200

yards

over

the

course

of

his

career,

including

if

he

has

Shadur

Sanders

Jr

get

to

the

NFL

and

combining

his

rushing

yards

with

Pops,

I

will

Pharaoh

two

steak

dinners

in

Las

Vegas.

Ferrell Elliott

It

will

be

legendary.

Eric Balkman

Farrell

owes

me

nothing.

That's

how

sure

I

am

the

shadow

Sanders

is

not

rushing

for

1200

yards

this

year.

We'll

see

what

happens

though.

That

Cleveland

situation

is

a

fun

one

to

look

at.

We'll

talk

ourselves

to

where

Blue

in

the

face

about

the

quarterbacks.

Pharaoh,

what

do

you

make?

And,

and

this

is

interesting

because

I

did

in

one

of

my

rookie

drafts,

in

one

of

my

rookie

dynasty

drafts

this

past

week,

I

did

take

Dylan

Sampson

at

the

end

of

the

second

round

after

the

Browns

had

already

taken

Quinte.

Johnkins,

everybody's

celebrating

junkins.

And

then

Samson

comes

into

the

fold

as

well.

Both

those

guys

are

Cleveland

Browns

right

now.

As

John

Terry

says,

how

do

we

see

the

backfield

being

divided

up

for

2025

between

Judkins

between

Sampson,

between

Jerome

Ford,

everybody.

They

got

in

Cleveland

right

now.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah.

I

don't

know.

And

neither

do

they.

And

they're

going

to

try

to

figure

it

out.

And

they

may

still

choose

the

wrong

guy.

Eric Balkman

And

who

is

the

wrong

guy?

Farrell?

Who

is

the

wrong.

Ferrell Elliott

We

don't

know.

We

don't

know.

And

probably

John's

gone

fishing

because

he's

got

a

strong

opinion.

And

there's

people

that

follow

Cleveland

Browns

football

religiously

and

they

come

up

with

this

idea.

This

is

going.

Eric Balkman

If.

Ferrell Elliott

If

you

want

to

be

in

the

fantasy

business

with

the

Cleveland

Browns,

my

first

question

is

why?

My

second

question

is,

you

tell

me

what

you're

thinking

about

and

because

you're

gonna

have

to

watch

them

in

preseason

and

see

just

who

is

gelling

with

this

team.

This

team

is.

Is

truly

the

old

cliche.

This

is

a

work

in

progress.

And

we.

We

gotta

see.

Eric Balkman

We.

We

will

see.

And.

And

I

think,

like,

at

the

point

we're

at

right

now,

like,

I'm

fine

with

where

Quinton

Judkins

is

going.

You

look

at

the.

The

mojo

on

this

right

now,

and

I'm

gonna

bring

it

up

right

now

just

so

I'm

not

talking

out

of

my

rear

end.

But

fantasymojo.com

is

the

place

where

you

want

to

go

if

you

are

playing

in

the

ffpc,

whether

it

be

dynasty,

whether

it

be

redraft.

Fantasy

Mojo

on

Twitter

at

Fantasy

Mojo.

And

of

course,

fantasymojo.com

that's

where

you

want

to

go

when

it

comes

to

adp,

when

it

comes

to

stacking.

Everything

that

you

want

to

know

is

located@fantasymojo.com

Darren

Armani

is

the

godfather

of

the

FFPC

Pros

versus

Joe's

competition.

If

I

look

at

the

FFPC

Best

Ball

tournament

over

the

last

seven

days,

Quinshawn

Judkins

is

currently

going

off.

If

I

can

spell

his

name

right,

I

can

tell

you

right

now,

my

goodness.

Quintron

Judkins

is

going

off

as

running

back

21

at

the

509

Pharaoh.

That

is

behind

Travion

Henderson,

Chuba

Hubbard,

Alvin

Camara.

It

is

ahead

of

James

Connor,

RJ

Harvey,

and

David

Montgomery.

Now,

I

know

we

got

our

guests

coming

up

here

in.

In

Scott

Brzicki,

and

I

want

to

get

to

him

in

a

second,

but

I

will

just

say

this,

since

somebody

already

posted

on

the

YouTube

chat

about

bulky

putting

his

money

where

his

mouth

is.

Yeah,

Vivian

Henderson.

I'm

trying

to

find

it

right

now.

It

was

Stephen

G.

Okay,

Stephen

G.

Yeah,

here

it

is.

Okay,

so

Stephen

G.

Saying

Balky

is

putting

his

money

where

his

mouth

is.

With

Trevin

Henderson

and

I

have

like

I

took

him

in

a

kffsc.

I

can't

remember

his

main

event

or

or

draft

Masters

with

kffsc.

But

I

do

believe

that

Ramondre

Stevenson

is

a

guy

you

don't

want

to

be

in

business

with

in

2025.

I

do

believe

the

guy

that

you

want

to

be

drafting

in

New

England

this

year

is

Trevion

Henderson.

So

if

I'm

comparing

him

to

Judkins

and

I

look

at

the

FFPC

best

ball

tournament

ADP

Henderson

is

412

running

back

18

Quinton

Judkins

running

back

21

at

the

509

I,

I

think

those

are

fine

values

for

both

of

them

considering

that

running

backs

in

the

FFPC

typically

go

a

little

bit

higher

than

they

do

in

the

kffsc.

I

just

have

no

hope

for

Ramondre

Stevenson

in

New

England

this

year.

It

is

Henderson's

backfield.

I

love

Henderson

this

year,

Pharrell,

and

I'm

dialing

him

up

in

a

lot

of

my

leagues

this

year.

I,

I

wouldn't

say

I'm

ignoring

Judkins,

but

if

I'm

comparing

the

two,

even

when

you

compare

the

the

draft

capital

here

of

Henderson

going

about

three

quarters

of

a

round

ahead

of

Judkins,

I

still

like

Henderson

over

Judkins.

How

do

you

look

at

these

Ohio

State

running

backs?

Ferrell Elliott

I

follow

in

your

review

of

this

and

and

bonky,

how

did

you

come

to

this

conclusion?

Because

I

you,

you

talk

to

some

of

the

finest

minds

in

the

business

and

then

we

gather

on

Friday

and

you

got

the

most

knowledgeable

players

in

the

business.

So

how

did

you

come

to

this?

Did

you

take

a

little

bit

of

information

from

different

types

of

sources

or

did

you

see

it?

Did

you

just

see

it

and

know

it

with

this

player?

Eric Balkman

It's

a

great

question.

Frell.

And

I

would

say

if

you

go

back

to

2023,

I

started

to

see

it

with

Henderson.

Henderson

probably

would

have

been

the

top

running

back

off

the

board

in

2024.

He

decided

to

stay

an

extra

year.

Now

whether

that

was

because

of

extra

seasoning

or

he

was

getting

a

sweet

deal

with

Nil,

I

don't

know.

But

I

know

Ohio

State

brought

Judkins

in

as

a

complimentary

piece

to

that

backfield.

Not

necessarily

the

the

star.

Henderson

to

me

is

a

much

he

has

a

much

more

refined

pass

catching

game

than

Judkins

does.

And

I'll

say

this

as

well,

and

this

is

kind

of

what

tipped

the

scales

for

me.

When

you

have

a

guy

like

Chris

Ballard

Farrell,

who

I

know

you

know

very

well,

the

GM

for

the

Indianapolis

Colts

out

of

nowhere

Talking

about

how

good

of

a

pass

blocker

Trevian

Henderson

is.

He

didn't

even

draft

the

guy.

This

was

a

player

that's

on

New

England,

another

player

that

is

on

a

rival

team

in

his

own

conference,

and

Chris

Ballard

is,

is

answering

a

question

about

running

backs

and

he's

talking

about

how

good

of

a

pass

blocker

Javion

Henderson.

This,

this

is

a

sign,

okay?

This

is

a,

this

is

a

flag

that

is

waving

in

the

distance

to

all

the

dynasty

players

out

there.

This

is

why

you

want

Henderson

on

your

team.

Ramandre

Stevenson

was

already

losing

touches

last

year

to

Antonio

Gibson.

Then

they

go

ahead

and

invest

high

draft

capital

into

Trevian

Henderson.

Henderson

is

a

guy

who

can

pass

catch,

he

can

pass

block,

and

he's

good

between

the

tackles

and

outside

the

tackles.

Quinton

Judkins

could

very

well

be

a

great

player

in

the

NFL.

But

when

it

comes

to

dollars

to

donuts,

I

am

placing

my

wager

on

Henderson

this

year

over

Judkins

and

in

Dynasty

leagues.

That's

how

I

feel

about.

It

could

be

wrong,

but

based

on

everything

I've

heard,

everything

I've

read,

I

think

Henderson's

the

play.

Ferrell Elliott

I

love

how

you,

I

love

how

you

got

there

and

I

can

tell

you're

going

to

stay

there.

And

this

is,

this

is

your

guy.

It's

a

wonderful

to

have

a

player

like

that.

And

by

the

time

we

get

to

the

FFPC

in

Paris,

Las

Vegas

this

year,

I

hope

all

our

guys

tonight

in

the

chat

room

and

listening

have

five

guys

like

that,

right?

There

sure

are

some

tight

ends

that

I

like.

Bar.

Eric Balkman

There

are

a

lot

of

tight

ends.

We'll

get

into

some

of

the

tight

ends

here

now

as

we

bring

in

our.

Our

guest

for

this

evening.

Ladies

and

gentlemen,

no

stranger

to

FFPC

Dynasty

league

championships,

he's

done

I

don't

know

how

many

over

the

course

of

the

last

several

years,

but

he's

won

a

dozen

of

them.

A

player

that

knows

what

he's

doing

when

it

comes

to

rookie

drafts,

when

it

comes

to

dynasty

management,

when

it

comes

to

Fantasy

Football

drafting

101,

this

guy

has

already

aced

it.

You

can

Follow

him

on

facebook.com

brazicki

he

is

the

one,

the

only

Scott

Brizicki

joining

us

on

the

show

tonight,

the

Pride.

Scott,

welcome

in

tonight.

Thank

you

so

much

for

hopping

aboard

tonight.

How

are

you

doing?

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

no,

he's

muted.

Eric Balkman

Oh,

Scott,

you

may

be

muted.

You

may

be

muted.

Hold

on.

Ferrell Elliott

Hit

that

button,

Scott.

Eric Balkman

Okay,

go

ahead.

Try

to

unmute

yourself,

Scott.

Hold

on.

Oh,

God.

He's

got

ipods

in.

This

is.

This

is

like

the.

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

this

is

dangerous.

Eric Balkman

This

is

dangerous.

Very.

Ferrell Elliott

You

can

probably

hear

us.

Eric Balkman

He

can

hear.

I

can

tell

he

can

hear

me.

Ferrell Elliott

He's

got

to

leave

in

the

little

market.

Eric Balkman

Scott,

let

me,

let

me

pop

you

out

right

now.

Scott,

if

you

can

pop

out

the

ipods

and

go

with

an

external

mic

here.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

external

mic's

always

good.

Eric Balkman

Well,

we'll

see

if

that

works

out.

Scott

is

a

guy

who

is.

And,

and

I'll

let

Scott

adjust

here.

Scott

is

a

guy

who

is

in,

oh,

God,

I

don't

know,

a

dozen

plus

dynasty

leagues

right

now.

He's

got

a

bunch

more

that

haven't

started

yet.

So

as

far

as

rookies

go,

as

far

as

Pat

Bryant,

as

far

as

Trey

Harris,

Terrence

Ferguson,

we're

going

to

ask

him

all

about

these

things

tonight

on

the

show.

Not

your

run

of

the

mill

dynasty

rookies,

but

I

think

important

ones

to

know

as

we

navigate

through

the

FFPC

dynasty

rookie

drafts

which

started

last

weekend,

will

continue

through

this

weekend

and

much

more.

Let's

go

back

to

Scott

right

now.

Scott,

let's

see

if

we

have

you

on

board

right

now.

I

think

I

hear

you

now.

You

got

us.

Scott Brzycki

You

can

hear

me?

Ferrell Elliott

Yes.

Eric Balkman

Oh,

we're

good

now.

Congratulations.

Scott Brzycki

All

right,

we're

rocking

and

rolling.

Eric Balkman

Thank

you,

thank

you.

Thank

you

so

much

for,

for

hopping

aboard

tonight.

Scott,

as

hard

as

it

is

to

win

FFPC

dynasty

leagues,

you

have

done

something

even

greater

tonight.

You

have

defeated

technology,

Bill

Gates,

Wozniak,

everybody,

Steve

Jobs,

you

have

defeated

them.

You

are

live

on

the

air

tonight.

Thank

you

so

much

for

hopping

aboard.

Let

me

ask

you

this.

When

you're

not

winning

all

these

dynasty

leagues,

what

are

you

doing

for

a

living?

Scott Brzycki

So

I've

been

in

the

consumer

finance,

auto

finance

business

since

right

out

of

college.

So

in

all

different

kind

of

facets,

lending,

collecting,

selling

and

operations,

big

operations,

small

operations.

So

really

just

auto

finance

and

banking.

Eric Balkman

Auto

finance

and

banking.

Pharrell,

this,

this

is

a

guy

that

knows

how

to

leave

himself

a

lot

of

time

to

manage

his

dynasty.

Ferrell Elliott

I

love

that.

And

all

that

success.

Scott,

you

still

can't

buy

yourself

a

vowel.

I

can

find

lots

of

places

to

fit

one

in

here,

but

it's

just.

Scott Brzycki

I

got,

I

get

one

full

time

and

one

part

time.

Val.

Ferrell Elliott

It'S

fantastic.

You

are

a

full

time,

very

successful

fantasy

player.

I

the,

the

dynasty

player

like

yourself

now

you

play

all

across

the

spectrum

of

all

of

FFPC

events.

You

play

the

main

event,

you

play

the

best

ball,

you

play

the

dynasty.

I

think

the

attention

and

the

dedication

that

dynasty

players

bring

to

the

game,

it

is

Just

fantastic.

I

think

it's

sort

of

the

glue

that

holds

together

the

spring

that,

that

we

have

as

we

get

ready

to

get.

Get

to

May,

the

February

and

March,

the

guests.

And

you're

coming

on

here

as

we

move

into

May.

It's

a

strong,

strong

situation.

I

got

so

many

damn

questions

to

ask

you.

I

wanted

to

talk

about

tight

ends,

but

I,

I

want

to.

I

want

to

go.

We

keep

bringing

up

Palmer

with

the

Chargers,

and

he

just

moved

on.

Talk

to

us

about

who

might

be

stepping

in

his

place,

who's

going

to

get

those

70

ish

receptions

and

can

it

be

a

player

that

is

more

explosive,

radiates

a

little

bit

more

confidence?

Well,

what

do

you

say?

Trey

Harris.

Can

you

talk

about

him

a

little

bit?

Scott Brzycki

I

can.

You

know,

last

year

I

was

big

on

McConkey.

I

really

liked

his

sharpness,

his

routes.

Ferrell Elliott

There

you

go.

Scott Brzycki

Quickness,

intelligence,

the

football

intelligence.

I

was

all

over

him

in

drafts

because

I

was,

you

know,

as

you

mentioned,

I

have

some

success.

I

was

drafting

late

in

the

first

and

a

lot

of

leagues,

so

I've

got

several

McConkey

shares.

But

when

I

watched

him

play,

especially

when

it

got

to

the

playoffs,

that

guy

was

getting

destroyed

when

he

went

over

the

middle,

that

was

just

brutal.

And

when

I

look

at

Trey

Harris,

he's

bigger,

he's

sturdier.

He

looks

a

little

bit

more

like

Rashi

Rice

to

me.

When

he

plays

physical,

I

think

he's

going

to

be

much

better

suited

for

that

over

the

middle

game

where

you

got

to

fight

a

little

bit

more,

maybe

have

to

challenge

a

safety

now

and

again.

I

just

really

liked

his

tape.

And

when

he

went

to,

and

he

went

to

the

Chargers,

I

was

like,

yep,

giddy

up.

He's

got

Herbert,

he's

got

McConkey.

That.

And

there's.

How

is

the

team

going

to

cover

him?

It's.

I

think

it's

just

a

really

good

fit.

I

was

really

excited.

I

really

like

Jaden

Higgins

more.

I

just

didn't

have

the,

the

draft

capital

to

get

there.

But,

you

know,

when

it

came

down

to

the

decision,

often

time

I

was

going

Harris.

Ferrell Elliott

So

is

there

a

player

in

the

league

already

that

Harris

reminds

you

of?

Yeah.

Scott Brzycki

Rasheed

Rice,

I

think

is.

Oh,

he's.

He

built

similarly.

I

think

he

plays

physical

similarly,

you

know,

is

not

afraid

to

stick

his

nose

in

it.

I,

I

like

that

style.

Ferrell Elliott

Good,

good.

I

like

that,

too.

Eric Balkman

Yeah.

And

that

obviously

that's

going

to

be

whetting

the

appetites

of

a

lot

of

FFPC

players

out

there

comparing

trade

and

like,

I'll

be

honest

with

you.

So

there's

one

private

dynasty

league

I'm

in

Scott

and,

and

I

forgot

I

had

traded

for

the,

for

a

second

round

pick

from

one

of

my

fellow

draft

cohorts.

And

I,

we

came

up

on

the

clock

on

Sunday

at

the

204

and

I'm

like,

God,

I

don't

know

what

to

do

here

because

I

didn't

plan

on,

on

taking

a

player,

but

I

ended

up

going

with

Trey

Harris

because

of,

you

know,

and

I,

and

I

think

there's

something

to

be

said.

Like,

yeah,

I

know

the

Chargers

want

to

run

the

ball

with

Hampton

and

with

NJ

Harris

and,

and

I

know

Lad

Monkey

is

the

number

one

there,

but

at

the

same

time,

I

think

there

is

a

realm

where

Trey

Harris

is,

is

a

guy

you

not

only

want

to

roster

but

you

want

to

start

on

certain

weeks

going

forward

throughout

his

career

for

the

next

four,

five,

maybe

even

six

years.

And

I

think

that

warrants

an

early

second

round

pick.

So,

so

I'm

definitely

with

you

on

that.

Let's

talk

about

a

player.

And,

and

quite

frankly,

I,

I

have

not

had

the

chpa,

the

testosterone

to

draft

this

guy

yet

because

somebody

else

always

seemed

to

have

the

quote,

unquote

balls

to

draft

this

guy

ahead

of

me

in,

in

my

rookie

drafts,

and

it's

Pat

Bryant.

I

was

sitting

at

the

NFL

draft

in

Green

Bay

last

weekend

talking

with

a

guy

because

I

do

a

terrestrial

radio

show,

local

radio

show

in

Northeast

Wisconsin,

talking

about

the

packers.

And

I

was

talking

about

a

guy

who

covers

the

packers.

And

he

told

me

Friday

morning

before

round

two

had

started,

he

said,

hey,

listen,

I

don't

know

if

the

packers

are

going

to

draft

this

guy,

but

I

really

like

Pat

Bryant

for

Green

Bay

and

I

think

he's

going

to

go

off

the

board

today.

And

I

said,

whoa,

Pat

Bryant,

what

are

you

talking

about?

This

guy

is

destined

for

day

three.

There's

no

way

he

goes

off

the

board

today.

And

he

said,

no,

look,

Pat

Bryant

is

going

to

somebody

today.

I

don't

know

if

it's

Green

Bay,

I

don't

know

if

it's

Detroit,

I

don't

know

if

it's

Denver.

I

don't

know

who

it

is,

but

he's

going

off

the

board

on

Friday.

And

he

was

right.

Pat

Bryant

goes

off

the

board

in

the

third

round.

This

was

higher

than

most

pundits

said

he

would

go.

I

don't

know

how

you

feel

about

Pat

Bryant.

I

don't

know

how

you

feel

about

drafting

him

in

your

rookie

drafts,

but

after

you

saw

the

Broncos

soak

a

third

round

pick

into

this

guy,

how

far

up

did

you

bump

him

on

your

draft

boards

in

your

rookie

leagues

in

the

ffpc.

Scott Brzycki

Scott,

he

was,

he

was

in

a

pretty

low

tier

for

me.

As

a

matter

of

fact,

after

the

Broncos

draft

him,

I

went

back

and

looked

at

his

tape

again

because,

you

know,

I

had

him

in,

you

know,

like

18,

19

in

my

wide

receiver

ranks.

I

did

re.

Look

at

him,

obviously

knowing

that

Peyton,

you

know,

got

his

guy,

you

know,

and

they,

they

have

definite

issues

with

depth

and

quality

and

talent

on

their

receiving

core.

So,

yeah,

I

had

to

move

him

up.

I

don't

think

there's

any

way

around

that.

And

as

a

matter

of

fact,

I've

just

traded

into

a

draft

into

the

fifth

round

where

he's

available

at

the

502.

I

gave

up

a

fourth

round

pick

in

26

for,

for

the,

for

the

502

and

602

because

there's

actually

a

lot

of

players

in

there

that

I

think

I

can

pick

up.

There's

Trevier,

a

Trevor

ETN

and

a

couple

other

guys

that

I

like

that

are

in

that

range.

And

so

I

traded

back

into

the

round.

Ferrell Elliott

I

love

the

dream.

Scott Brzycki

Specifically,

I

just

think.

What

was

that?

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

I

just,

I

love,

I

love

the

way

you're

coming

at

this.

And

while,

yeah,

while

I

listen

to

this,

I

just

sit

here

and

realizing

that

you,

you

and

Balky

are

playing,

playing

chess

and

I'm

playing

checkers.

Eric Balkman

No,

that's

not

accurate.

Ferrell Elliott

That's

what,

that's

what's

going

on.

That's

what's

going

on

right

here.

But

you

wanted

to

finish

a

thought

about

this.

Pat

Bryant,

who

you

are

somewhat

warming

to

and

bulky

hanging

out

with

the

exclusives

there

in

Green

Bay,

has

some

inside

knowledge.

Scott Brzycki

But

yeah,

no,

I

think

that's,

that's

even

kind

of

cherry

plus.

And

here

I'm

going

to

add

an

extra

little

piece

of

incentive.

You

know,

I

like

to

watch

football

on

Sundays.

My

wife

is

a

Broncos

fan.

You

know,

I

got

some

Bo.

Nick

shares.

It's,

it's,

it's

a

good,

you

know,

it's

a

good

thing.

Let's

have

some

fun

on

Sunday.

Eric Balkman

Scott,

I

know

you

didn't

hear

this

and

Pharrell,

maybe

you

did

hear

this

already.

I'll

drop

some

non

essential

knowledge

for

anybody

for

packers

insider.

Non

essential

knowledge.

I

don't

know

if

this

helps

anybody

out

for

Best

ball

or

Dynasty,

but

I'll

say

this

right

now

from

a

guy

who

I

trust

as

one

of

my

sources

with

the

Packers.

I

know

he's

ingratiated

in

it.

He

told

me

at

the

draft,

this

is

after

the

Matthew

golden

selection.

He

told

me

on

Friday

morning

that

Christian

Watson,

desperate,

I

wouldn't

say

desperately,

strongly,

let's

say

strongly

wants

to

resign

with

Green

Bay

even

though

his

contract

is

up

and

Romeo

Dobbs.

He

also

said

Romeo

Dobbs

is

all

but

gone,

which

I

don't

think

you

need

an

insider

to

hear

that

like

it's

Dos

is

going

to

be

somewhere

else.

Could

be

Pittsburgh.

By

the

way,

that's

another

angle

that

we

can,

we

could

pursue

tonight.

But

Watson

wants

to

continue

his

career

in

the

NFL

with

Green

Bay

over

any

other

team.

Take

that

for

what

it's

worth

after

they

sign

the

429

guy

in

Matthew

Golden.

But

I'm

just

telling

you

what

I've

heard

and,

and

I've

been

drafting

as

such.

Now

we've

talked

about

Pat

Bryant

here.

Talk

about

this

massive

trade,

Scott,

between

the

Cowboys

and

Steelers

this

week.

The

Cowboys

have

acquired

George

Pickens

for

draft

picks.

The

Steelers

obviously

are

looking

for

Calvin

Austin,

Roman

Wilson

to

take

a

step

forward

in,

in,

in

their

offense

this

year

or

perhaps

maybe

trade

it

for

a

guy

like

Romeo

Dobbs

in

Green

Bay.

Non,

zero

chance

of

that.

But

I'll

say

this,

in,

in

one

of

my

dynasty

rookie

drafts,

I

had

the,

the

712

pick,

the

final

pick

of

the

rookie

draft,

I

took

Calvin

Austin.

I

feel

really

strongly

about

that.

Scott,

I

don't

know

how

you

feel

about

the

number

two

receiver

in

Pittsburgh.

Maybe

there's

no

fantasy

goodness

here

at

all

with

that.

But

when

you

talk

about

who

could

be

the

Robin

to

DK

Metcalf's

Batman

in

Pittsburgh.

Is

it

Roman

Wilson,

is

it

Calvin

Austin?

Is

it

non

existent?

Is

this

a

situation

you

want

to

deal

with

at

all?

How

do

you

feel

about

that

situation

right

now?

Scott Brzycki

Well,

last

year

in

the

draft

I

really

liked

Roman

Wilson.

I

really

did.

I

drafted

him

everywhere

and

you

know,

held

on

to

him

as

a

roster

clogger

for

way

too

long,

you

know,

and

you

know,

cut

him,

you

know,

let's

be

honest,

you

have

to

let

it

go

at

some

point.

You

have

to

let

the

dream,

you

know,

die.

But

now

there's

new

life.

So

I,

I

do

like

Calvin

Austin.

I

do.

He's,

he,

he's

definitely

got

a

shot.

But

I'm

with

you.

I

don't

know

and

you

know,

if

I'm

going

to

take

a

stab

in

a

sixth

or

seventh

round,

you

know,

and

see

what

happens

in

camp,

let's,

let's

go.

You

know,

I

think

it's,

that's

a

reasonable

place

to

play

that

I'm

not,

you

know,

I'm

not

drafting

them

early

for

sure,

but

I

definitely

jumped

on

the

news

and

went,

I've

always

liked

Roman

Wilson.

Now

he's

got

a

real

chance.

Let's

go.

Eric Balkman

Where

do

you

fall

in

on

this?

Roman

Wilson

vs.

Calvin

Austin?

Ferrell Elliott

You

know,

I

love

the

size

of

Roman

Wilson

and

we

all

became

fans.

I

like,

I

like

the

resume.

I

like

the

more

established

names

here

with

this,

with

Pittsburgh,

I

think

it.

There's

tons

of

questions

you

could

roll

back

here.

Tons

of

questions.

And

I.

Let's

just

focus

on

picking

the

picking

side

up.

Eric Balkman

It.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

I

think

that

many

times

you

see

a

player

that

really

needs

a

change

of

scenery

and

that's

where

we

are

with

Pickens.

And

I

think

that's

what

drafters

should

really

do

is

get

re

engaged

with

Pickens

and

become

more

excited

about

him

because

it's,

it's

what

kidney.

Can

you

give

me

a

mojo

on

Pickens?

Eric Balkman

Yeah,

I

absolutely

can.

Fair.

You

want,

you

want

in

the

Big

Gorilla

or

best

ball?

What

do

you.

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

I'll

take

it

out

wherever

we

can

get

him.

Eric Balkman

Okay,

so

let's

do

Big

Gorilla

right

now.

Over

the

last

seven

days,

which

granted

is,

I

mean,

some

of

those

days

happen

with

Pickens

being

a

Steeler,

but

right

now

he

has

risen

to

wide

receiver

41

at

the

804.

For

context

sake,

that

is

behind

Calvin

Ridley,

behind

Khalil

Shakir.

It

is

ahead

of

Stefan

Diggs.

It

is

ahead

of

Jacoby

Myers.

That's

where

he

is

lining

in

on

Darren

armani's

fantasy

mojo.

Ferrell Elliott

Fantasymojo.com

Listen,

that's

some

very

good

players

that

he's

in

the

neighborhood

of,

but

I

think

if

you

go

back

to,

and

Scott

will

remember

when

Pickens

was

coming

out

of

school,

what

we

thought

about

this

player

and,

and

we

thought

that

the

possibilities

were

limitless.

And

I

think

when

he

went

to

Pittsburgh,

we

all

kind

of

shrugged

our

shoulders

and

could

have

found

better

landing

spots.

Now

he

has

one,

despite

the

problems

at

the

quarterback

position.

Eric Balkman

That,

that,

that's

a

good

question

that

Farrell

brings

up.

Scott,

how

did

you

treat

George

Pickens

in

rookie

drafts.

Scott Brzycki

Back

in

the

day?

I

picked

him

up.

You

know,

I

drafted

him

pretty

often.

I

mean,

I

liked

the

talent.

I

was

a

little

worried

about

the

head.

You

know,

I,

it

did

seem

like

a

bit

of

a

hothead,

you

know,

but

sometimes

that

brings,

you

know,

that

that

extra

competitiveness

is

good.

I

did

worry

about

it

a

little

bit,

so

I

didn't

pick

him

up

a

lot.

And

then

when,

you

know,

the

situation

kind

of

involved

and

he

got

a

lot

of

fire,

you

know,

I

probably

got

him

in

the

second

round

a

lot

of

places.

I,

when

the,

when

the

heat

started

and

he

started

to

get

a

lot

of

hype,

I

got

rid

of

him

about

as

quick

as

I

could.

It

just

wasn't

my

kind

of

player.

You

know,

I

thought

I

got

a

nice

return

on

him

and,

you

know,

you

know,

play

played

for

players

that

I

liked

a

little

better

at

the

time.

Ferrell Elliott

You

know,

many

times

you

see

players

and

you

hope

they

grow

up

off

the

field.

This

player

needed

to

grow

up

from

his

antics

on

the

field.

Eric Balkman

I,

I,

I

just,

I,

I

go

back

at

Pharaoh.

That's

a

good

point

because

I

go

back

to

all

these

Steelers

receivers

that

have

left

Pittsburgh

or,

you

know,

via

trade

or

via

free

agency

or

whatever.

Ferrell Elliott

Find

me

one

that's

successful.

Balky.

Eric Balkman

Well,

there

have

been

some

that

have

been

successful.

Not

as

successful

as

they

were

in

Pittsburgh.

Ferrell Elliott

Right.

Eric Balkman

Deontay

Johnson.

Who

are

the

other

guys

I'm,

I'm

thinking

of

here?

Ferrell Elliott

Emmanuel

Sanders,

Juju

Smith

Schuster.

Eric Balkman

Emmanuel

Sanders.

Scott Brzycki

There's

eight.

A

B

is

probably

the

most

famous

of

them

all.

Did

he

play

one

game

for,

for

Tampa

after

I

mean

that

and

that's

the

thing

and

I

left

Bell.

I

mean

he's,

Tomlin

has

done

a

lot

of

psychology

work

in,

in

his

head

coaching

role.

So

I

mean,

I

think

that's

impressive

in

and

of

itself

to

watch

players

unravel

post

Tomlin.

Eric Balkman

Another

thing

I

want

to

put

on

wax

tonight.

I

could

be

wrong

about

this

and

Lord

knows,

if

you've

been

watching

the

show,

by

the

way,

we

haven't

been

on

the

air

for

15

years.

Feralist

said

this

at

the

top

of

the

show.

You

said

15.

I'm

still

backing

14.

Ferrell Elliott

It's

15.

Eric Balkman

Okay,

it's

15.

I've

been

wrong

over

the

last

15

years

about

a

lot

of

things.

But

I'll

say

this

about

Steelers

receivers

by

and

large,

if

you

bet

against

a

Steeler

receiver

having

better

success

outside

of

Pittsburgh

after

he

gets

traded

or

signs

elsewhere,

you

have

been

wrong

more

often

than

not.

And

I

am

going

to

bet

on

that

continuing

with

George

Pickins,

considering

he

is

not

the

number

one

receiver

in,

in

Dallas

and

he

may

not

even

be

the

number

two

passing

option

in

Dallas.

So,

so

for

me,

and

I

don't

have

any

dynasty

shares

of

Pickens,

but

and,

and,

and

for

my

local

there

you

go.

For

my

local

radio

show

in,

in

that

I

do

in

northeast

Wisconsin,

I

have

a

guest

on

a

guest

co

host

on

every

Tuesday.

He's

from

the

Pittsburgh

area.

He

is

a

big

Steelers

fan

and

he

ran

into

a

guy

at

the

gym

this

past

week

in

northeast

Wisconsin

who

was

wearing

a

Steelers

shirt.

And

he

said

to

him,

and

I

don't.

There

may

not

be

any

fantasy

football

relevance

here,

but

he

said

to

him,

he's

like,

hey,

man

Pickens,

he's

now

a

cowboy.

What

do

you

think

about

that?

And

the

guy

at

the

gym

took

out

his

ipods

wearing

a

Steeler

shirt,

turned

to

my

buddy,

who

I

have

on

Tuesdays

on

my

show,

he

turned

to

my

buddy

and

he

said,

good

riddance.

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

you

said

the

F

word,

boss.

Eric Balkman

You

know,

because

we're

good.

No,

we're

good

on

that

because

we're

36

minutes

in,

so

YouTube

is

not

gonna

demonetize

us

for

that.

So

we're

good

on

that.

But

he

said,

good

blanking

riddance.

Scott Brzycki

Isn't

it

great

news

for.

For.

For

DK

that,

you

know,

Pittsburgh

put

their

money

where

their

mouth

is

and

now

for

dk.

Eric Balkman

Right.

So,

Scott,

you

bring

that

up.

This

is

a

good

question.

And.

And.

And

I'll

bring

this

up

right

now.

I

think

I

had.

Okay,

so

Corey.

Corey

Walters

is.

Is

talking

about

this

in.

In

the

YouTube

chat.

My

cousin

played

with

Roman

Wilson

at

Michigan,

and

he

said

he

was

a

dog.

And

I

had

the

opportunity,

and

I

think

I

brought

this

up

at

the

top

of

the

show.

I

had

the

opportunity

to

take

either

Roman

Wilson

or

Calvin

Austin

with

the

final

pick

of

my

rookie

draft

at

the

end

of

the

seventh

round.

I

took

Calvin

Austin

here.

Scott,

do

you

have

any

personal

feelings

on

what

we

should

be

doing

with

the

secondary

Pittsburgh

wide

receiver?

Because

I

think

Friarmouth

is

the

secondary

pass

catcher.

Right.

But

as

far

as

the

secondary

wide

receiver,

should

it

be

Austin

who

showed

up

more

than

Wilson

last

year?

Or

should

it

be

Wilson

who

is

the

higher

pedigreed

guy

of

the

two?

Scott Brzycki

Well,

like

I

said,

my

chips

are

in

on

Wilson.

What

few

chips

I'm

willing

to

put

on

that

bet.

So

that's

where

I'm

headed.

Like

I

said,

I

like

the

talent.

I

like.

I

liked

what

I

saw.

The

situation

didn't

work

out

for

him

last

year.

I

don't

know

exactly

what

it

was.

A

little

bit

injury,

a

little

bit

of

some

other

stuff,

but

that's

where

I'm

headed.

Eric Balkman

Okay,

that's

where

you're

headed

for

there.

I

want

to

shift

it

to

tight

ends

here.

Terrence

Ferguson,

Farrell,

I.

You

probably

saw

this.

This

conversation

that

the

Rams,

before

they

traded

out

of

the

first

round

with

the

Falcons,

were

ready

to

take

Terence

Ferguson

as

their

pick

in

the

late

first

round,

which

would

have

meant

three

tight

ends

going

off

the

board

in

the

NFL

draft

this

year.

In

2025,

they

not

only

traded

the

pick

to

the

Falcons.

They

got

an

extra

first

round

pick

for

the

quarterbacks

next

year

and

they

also

got

their

man

at

the

end

of

the

second

round

in

Terence

Ferguson.

Scott,

this

begs

the

question

here.

How

high

are

you

in

tight

end

premium

leagues

like

the

FFPC

on

Terence

Ferguson

in

your

dynasty

rookie

drafts?

Scott Brzycki

You

know,

he's,

he's

an

easy,

you

know,

mid

second

round

look.

For

me,

I

have

him

right

behind

Mason

Taylor.

Just

phenomenal

athlete

in

a

great

situation.

I

mean,

can

you

imagine

an

athletic

Tyler

Higby?

I

mean

that,

that

seems,

that

screams

that

opportunity

there.

So

I'm

excited

about

injured

Tyler.

Ferrell Elliott

He

was

athletic.

I

can

remember

back

in

that

day.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

yeah,

he

could

move

and

he

was,

he

was

quite.

You

know,

I

think

that

that

offense

is

looking

for

that

second

target.

I

think

they've

overused,

you

know,

puka

and

those

kind

of

hard

to

get

yard

situations

and

I

think

it's

just,

I

just

think

it's

a

phenomenal

opportunity.

And

you

know,

you

know,

McVeigh,

you

want

a

guy

scheming

your

guy,

that's,

that's,

that's

a

guy

you

want

to

have

on

your

side.

Eric Balkman

So.

Scott Brzycki

I

have,

right

behind,

you

know,

the,

the

top

two,

I

have

Mason

Taylor

and

him

right

neck

and

neck,

right

behind

the

top

two.

Ferrell Elliott

Well,

we

haven't,

we

haven't

started

talking

about

the,

the

two

tight

ends

that

are

absolutely

marvelous

and

bring

great

interest.

But

I'm

not

going

to,

I'm

going

to

go

back

in

time

because

I

think

the

tight

end

position

should,

you

know,

they

can't

all

be

Brock

Bowers

and

they

can

all

be

day

one

delivers

for

fantasy

football.

But

I

think

the

tight

end

position

needs

some

type

of

development.

That's

where

I

go

to

Ben

Senate.

Is

it

Senate

or

Sanat?

That's

right.

Physical

specimen

that

got

mixed

up

in,

in

everything

that

was

going

on

at

Washington

last

year,

including

the

fact

that,

that

the

veteran

will

not

release

the

position.

So

your

thoughts

when

you

look

at

a

player

last

year

that

has

some

draft

capital

to

him

and

did

not

meet

fantasy

expectations,

he

becomes

available

this

year

and

he's

available

very,

very

late

in

these

drafts.

Your

thoughts

on

your,

your

thoughts

on

giving

a

talented

player

another

year

at

the

position.

Scott Brzycki

I

asked

myself

what

has

changed

in

his

circumstance,

you

know,

other

than

he's

a

year

closer

to

starting

this

year

and

last

year

he

was

all

the

buzz,

all

the

fire

and

you

know,

he

was

going,

you

know,

early

second,

mid

second

and

every

draft

and

now

I'm

getting

him

thrown

in

on

trades.

I

traded

in

one

league,

I,

I,

some

Guy

wanted

the,

the

305.

I

got

the.

I

gave

him.

He

gave

me

sinat

and

the

405

for

the

305.

I

mean,

he's,

he's

an

afterthought.

And

to

me,

that's

too

much

talent

to

pass

on.

I

mean,

I,

I'm

a

big

proponent

of

the

tight

end.

One

of

my.

Well,

I

think

one

of

the

reasons

why

I'm

successful

is

I

go

countercurrent

on

a

lot

of

positions.

I

tend

to

spitball

running

backs

together.

Oh,

somebody's

on

the

clock.

Eric Balkman

It's

probably

trying

to

find

out

right

now.

Sorry.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

I'm

on.

I'm

on

the

clock

right

now

that

I'm

gonna

get

Pat

Bryant

here

in

a

second.

But

yeah,

502.

The

situation

is

that,

you

know,

I've

always

built

my

teams

with

strong

tight

ends.

I've

always.

I

was

big

Kelsey,

Stan.

I

traded

away

all

my

draft

picks

for

Kelsey

a

long

time

ago.

And

you

know,

then

I,

you

know,

I

had

a

team

that

I

bought

as

a.

I

got

an

orphan.

They

had

McBride.

I

drafted

Bowers,

I

picked

up

John,

who.

I

was

running

a

three

tight

end

set,

you

know,

every,

every

game

and

went

within

about

a

half

of

a

point

of

the

championship

with

that,

with

that

setup.

Eric Balkman

So.

Scott Brzycki

And

quarterback

is

another

thing.

But

to

me,

Titans

is

how

you.

Is

a

differentiator

for

you.

If

you

can,

if

you

can

crack

the

tight

end

code,

that

is

a

differentiator.

Ferrell Elliott

You

go

first.

Eric Balkman

Ferguson

is

a

differentiator.

Because

I,

I

think

that

the

thing

to

keep

in

mind

is

that

this

dude

was

this

close,

at

least

reportedly

to

being

a

first

round

pick

in

the

NFL

draft.

And

I

feel

like

not

a

lot

of

people

have

adopted

that.

And

for

you,

Scott,

you

are

looking

at

Ferguson

as

not

only

a

differentiator,

but

as

far

as

his

draft

capital

goes.

But

when

you

put

him

on

your

dynasty

team,

he

is

still

a

tight

end

differentiator

not

only

this

year,

but

down

the

road.

Scott Brzycki

Yep,

100.

Eric Balkman

I

like

that.

Ferrell Elliott

Differentiator.

I

like

that

a

lot.

The.

Can

we

talk.

Can

we

talk

about

Indianapolis

and

Chicago

tag

as

well?

Eric Balkman

Oh,

for

God's

sake.

Yes,

I

want

to.

Ferrell Elliott

Scott,

I

want

you

to

get

out

of

your

dynasty

moment

and

I

want

you

to

look

ahead

to

September

in

Las

Vegas.

How

many

players

are

you

going

to

knock

out

of

the

way

to

get

your

hands

on

Warren

and,

and

the

kid

at

Chicago,

what's

his

name?

Bulky

Loveland.

Loveland

Colston

Loveland?

Yep.

How.

Based

on

what

we

saw

last

year

with

Bowers,

which

one

of

those

guys

gets

closest

to

being

Bowers

and,

and,

and

what

are

you

going

to

do

with

those

two

players?

That's

what

I

want

to

know.

Scott Brzycki

Well,

talent

wise,

I'm,

or

like,

you

know,

when

you

just

look

at

a.

Warren

plays

a

lot

more

like

Bowers,

but

I

think

Loveland

is

in

a

much

better

situation

than,

than

Warren

is.

I,

I

think

the

target

competition

in

Indianapolis

and

the

quarterback

play

question

marks,

you

know,

that

might

sort

itself

out,

but

I

don't

think

that

the,

the,

the

fight

for

targets

and

Chicago

is

not

much

better,

to

be

honest.

That's

why

I

like

the

Mason

Taylor,

you

know,

Ferguson

route

because,

you

know,

the

con,

the

competition

for

targets

is

much

thinner

in

those

two

environments.

You

know,

for

the,

for

the

jets

and,

and

for

the

Rams.

So,

you

know,

when

I

was

looking

at

them,

I

bunched

them

together.

I

thought

Warren

and

Love

them

went

down

based

on,

you

know,

where

they

went.

And

I

moved

up

Taylor

and

Ferguson

to

make

that

much

tighter.

Not

quite

a

tier.

There's

a

tier

between,

but

much,

much

tighter.

Just

from

an

opportunity

perspective,

the

talent

was

overwhelming

for

all

four

to

me.

But

I

don't

know

if

there's

a

Bowers

out

there

where

the

situation

just

lines

up

with

the

talent

like

it

did

there.

That

was

just.

Yeah,

that's

rare.

Eric Balkman

Yeah.

Scott,

I'm

with

you.

There's

no

Bowers

out

there.

Ferrell Elliott

Bulky.

Let's

be

careful

there.

Eric Balkman

No,

I

will

be

careful.

And,

and

I,

I

feel

like

I'm

saying

this

very

cautiously.

That.

Not

sure

I

shouldn't

say

cautiously.

I

feel

like

I'm

saying

this

very

well

researchedly

and

that.

That's

a

word

I'm

making.

Ferrell Elliott

I

shouldn't

say

that

either.

Eric Balkman

Well,

okay.

I

won't

say

it

again,

but

I

feel

like,

yes,

I'm

pretty

confident

saying

there

is

no

rookie

Brock

Bowers

this

year.

Pharaoh.

If,

if

there

is

one,

who

do

you

think

it

is?

Because

this

might

lead

in

my

next

question.

Ferrell Elliott

Well,

I

think

it's

Warren.

I

think,

I

think

he

is

as,

as

Scott

says,

he

has

the

skills

that

are

most

like

Bowers.

He

also

has

the

path

to

change

the

direction

of

the

quarterback.

You

know,

Scott,

if

you've

watched

the

show,

we,

we

every

time

we

talk

about

somebody

with

the

Colts,

somebody

will

pop

up

the,

the

captain

of

who's

going

to

be

throwing

him

the

ball,

you

know,

taking

a

shot

at

Richardson.

You

know,

you,

you

go

to

quarterback

rating.

You

know,

Richardson

and

Richardson

as

well

as

Williams

were

27

and

28,

you

know,

in

the

league.

They,

they,

they

both

had

difficult

years

last

year.

My

point

is

this.

We

have

to

save.

We

have

to

do

something

that

saves

this

quarterback

Bowers

got

that

Bower's

got

that

situation

where

he

caught

all

those

balls

from

five

different

quarters

quarterbacks

I

I

think

there's

a

I

think

there's

a

possibility

that

this

player

fulfills

the

the

goal

that

the

Colts

have

to

make

their

their

quarterback

successful

so

that's.

Eric Balkman

Why

so

this

is

a

good,

this

is

a

good

posit

that

that

Farrell

is

putting

up

here

right

now

and

I'm

gonna

selfishly

take

it

for

for

my

own

personal

advice

because

not

only

am

I

on

the

clock

in

a

KFFSC

best

ball

league

but

I

did

make

this

choice

in

in

a

redraft

best

ball

league

where

do

you

stand

on

2025

value

when

it

comes

to

Tyler

Warren

versus

Colson

Loveland

Scott

let's

throw

dynasty

because

I

know

we've

been

talking

a

lot

of

dynasty

but

when

you're

looking

at

simply

the

2025

year

Loveland

vs

Warren

where

do

you

stand

on

that?

They're

separated

by

less

than

around

in

the

FFPC

best

ball

tournament

according

to

the

fantasy

mojo

at

ADP.

Scott Brzycki

I

I

couldn't

put

him

in

my

top

12.

I

just

don't.

I

don't

which

one

target

pass

Both.

Eric Balkman

Both

of

them.

You're

not

putting

in

your

top

12.

Scott Brzycki

I,

I

think

I

I

would

put.

I

I

think

Levin

has

a

clearer

shot

for

for

targets

but

I

don't

think

you

have

a

very

I

mean

there's

just

too

much

competition

they're

both

dealing

with

quarterback.

You

know

even

though

Caleb

is

you

know

up

and

coming.

Yeah

I,

I

would

pick

other

tight

ends

that

have

have

you

know

I'm

a

floor

player

I

mean

that's

why

I

probably

don't

do

that

great

at

best

ball

I'm

a

floor

player.

I

like

to

look

at

that

kind

of

worst

case

scenario

glass

half

empty

and

cracked

on

the

bottom

look

and

try

to

figure

out

what

I'm

going

to

do

with

that

and

yeah

I

would

I'd

probably

go

in

another

direction

but

if

I

had

to

if

I

had

gun

to

my

head

I'm

going

lovely.

I

think

he's

interesting

I

think

I

got

I

think

he's

got

clear

path.

Eric Balkman

The

thing

that

Loveland

and

and

I'll

let

you

weigh

in

on

this

Scott

Farrell.

I

know

how

you

feel

about

it

but

you

can

feel

free

to

pop

in

after

Scott

I

look

at

the

Chicago

Bears

Burden

Moore,

Odunze

Swift

and

everybody

they

got

in

the

backfield

Roshan

Johnson

and

you

know

Kyle

Manangai

is

probably

a

non

non

factor

but

I'll

just

bring

him

up

as

well.

But

then

I

look

at

the

Colts,

it's

like,

yeah,

I

know

they

got

Michael

Pittman.

I

know

they

got

Josh

Downs.

I

feel

like

soaking

that

high

of

a

pick

in

the

Tyler

Warren.

And

I

know

the

Bears

soaked

a

higher

pick

into

Loveland.

I

just

feel

like

the

talent

deficit

in

Indianapolis

is

more

real

than

it

is

in

Chicago,

which

leads

me

to

believe

that

Warren

is

the

proper

pick

in

Redraft.

You

clearly

see

it

a

different

way,

saying

that

love.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

but

what,

what

let's

look

at,

how

about

coaching.

Let's

look

at

Ben

Johnson

scheming

with

La

Porta

and

picking

his

guy

and

being

extremely

excited.

We

mentioned

before

coaches

finding

their

guy.

This

is

Ben

Johnson

who

just

had

Sam

LaPorta

who

we

probably,

you

know,

compare

skill

set

to

level.

And

I

just

don't

see

a

way

around

it.

I

mean,

I

just

don't

see

a

way

around

where

Indianapolis

has

a

lot

of

questions

to

solve

before

Warren

gets,

Warren

gets

there.

Eric Balkman

Okay.

And

that

makes

sense

to

me.

So

now

that,

that

we

know

how

you

feel

about

that

from

a

dynasty

perspective

or

from

a

redraft

perspective.

What

about

dynasty?

Because,

and,

and,

and

listen,

if,

if

you

feel

like

the,

the

fact

that

he's

handpicked

or

whatever

Loveland

is

by

Ben

Johnson,

then

I

think

we

know

how

you

feel

about

him

from

a

dynasty

perspective.

But

I

got,

I

look

at

all

that

talent

in

Chicago,

man,

it's

more,

it's

burden,

it's,

it's

odunze.

There's

a

lot

of

guys

there

that

can.

Scott Brzycki

How

do

Titan.

How

do

tight

end

score

points?

Bulky.

How

do

Titans

score

points?

Touchdowns,

Touchdowns.

Do

you

think

Indianapolis

is

going

to

be

scoring

a

lot

of

touchdowns?

Eric Balkman

Okay.

Scott Brzycki

I

don't

think

so.

Eric Balkman

Okay.

Scott Brzycki

I

think

Chicago's

set

up

to

score

a

lot

of

touchdowns.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

Chicago's

got

to

get

their

down

and

distance

situation

worked

on

and

you

know,

I

hope

Ben

is

bringing

a.

Scott Brzycki

Lot

lot

of

really

good

out

in

Chicago.

Don't

get

me

wrong,

I'm

a

Bears

fan.

I

get

it.

You

know,

we

got

a

lot,

we

got

a

lot

of

question

marks

that.

Ferrell Elliott

Get

his

sack

68

times

last

year.

So

that

ball

is

going

to

come

out

of

his

hands

very,

very

quick.

Eric Balkman

It

should

very,

very

quick.

And

by

the

way,

this

in

feral.

I'll,

I'll

let

you

ask

about

Chase

Brown

here

in

a

second.

I'm

asking

about

Chase

Brown.

I'm

sorry

but,

but,

but

here's

the

thing.

And,

and

this

with

what

Scott

has

told

us

tonight,

this

goes

back

to

the

Dow

of

Baker

boy,

right.

Joe

Delero

one

of

the

greatest.

He's

the

Yogi

Bear,

in

my

opinion,

the

Yogi

bearer

of

high

stakes

fantasy

football.

And

he

said,

why,

why

would

you

draft

players

on

teams

that

don't

score

touchdowns?

The

Colts,

they

don't

score

touchdowns.

The

Bears,

they

should

be

scoring

touchdowns

this

year,

which

is

why

you

should

take

Loveland

over

Warren.

Now.

A

team

here,

Scott,

that

will

be

scoring,

in

my

opinion,

at

least

a

lot

of

touchdowns

in

2025

like

they

did

in

2024

is

the

Cincinnati

Bengals.

I

was

pleased

as

punch

in

all

my

dynasty

leagues

that

I

own,

Chase

Brown,

that

they

did

not

invest

a

first

round

pick,

they

did

not

invest

a

day

two

pick

into

the

running

back

position.

I

love

Chase

Brown

this

year.

All

the

Zach

Moss

owners

out

there,

come

come

at

me

with

your

hate.

I

don't

think

there's

a

lot,

I

don't

think

there's

a

lot

of

Zach

Moss

apologists

out

there.

However,

there

might

be

some

Taj

Brooks

apologist

who

the

Bengals

drafted

on

day

three,

a

guy

that

a

lot

of

people

were

looking

forward

to

see

where

he

would

land

in

the

NFL

draft.

And

he

lands

in

Cincinnati.

So

just

blanket

statement

here

or

blanket

question

I

should

ask

Scott,

how

does

Taj

Brooks

affect

Chase

Brown?

Let's

look

at

this

Simply

from

the

2025

season

from

a

redraft

standpoint,

not

necessarily

a

dynasty

standpoint.

Although

if

you

want

to

weigh

in

on

that,

we'd

love

to

hear

it.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

I

think,

you

know,

that

Cincinnati

has

put

their

money

where

their

mouth

is.

You

know,

they,

they

tried

to

bring

in

Moss

to

try

to

split

it

up.

That

didn't

really

work

out.

Chase

stole

the

show.

They

went

for

P.

Ryan.

You

know,

in

the

free

agent

market,

there

was

probably

better

options

if

they

really

wanted

touch

competition

and

waited

to

day

three

to

draft

a

running

back.

That's

kind

of

meh.

So

to

me,

it

was

wheels

up.

I

had,

I

had

sent

out

a

ton

of

trades

before

the

draft

for

Chase

Brown,

hoping

to

pick

him

up

for

like

some

seconds.

Nobody

bit

but

one

guy

did,

you

know,

counter

to

me

for

a

late

round

first.

And

as

soon

as

the

day

two

passed,

I

hit

accept.

There

was

no

way

that

a

day

three

running

back

was

gonna

upset

that

apple

cart

as

far

as

I

was

concerned.

So

I

think

Chase

Brown's

gonna

be

phenomenal.

I

don't

think,

you

know,

Todd,

I

think

if

they

do

anything,

it's,

it's,

it's

probably

going

to

be

continued.

Zach

Moss

here

and

there,

some

P.

Ryan,

third

down

work

or

late,

you

know,

late

game

work.

But

it's

going

to

be

Chase

Brown

to

the

moon.

Ferrell Elliott

I

wish

I

had

more

stay

with

that

running

back

position.

But

let's

take

it

out

to

the

west

Coast.

Let's

talk

about

it.

Is

this

the

year

that

things

begin

to

change

in

San

Francisco?

Jordan

James.

Eric Balkman

Oh,

yeah,

here

we

go.

Ferrell Elliott

What

can

you

do?

What

do

you

think

about

McCaffrey?

Jordan

James.

What

does

this

look

like?

What

is

this

backfield

going

to?

Scott Brzycki

You

know,

I,

I

was

off

of,

well,

not

off

of

McAfee.

Just

too

expensive

for

me.

I'm

a

baller

on

a

budget.

I'm

looking

for

value.

McCaffrey

was,

you

know,

as

many

firsts

as

I

could

muster

to

try

to

get

my

team

well

last

year,

you

know,

he

kind

of

dropped

in

price.

I

picked

him

up

in

a

couple

of

spots

and

obviously,

you

know,

didn't

work

out

great

for

me.

But

Jordan

James

is

a

player.

I

really

like

the

tape

on.

I

really,

I

really

liked

it.

It

was,

he

was

up

there

for

me.

I,

he

is

now

right

now

in

ffpc.

My

most

own

player.

Eric Balkman

Wow.

Scott Brzycki

I've

been

able

to

pick

him

up

in

the

fourth.

I've

been

able

to

pick

him

up

in

the

fifth.

I've

been

able

to,

you

know,

get

him

in

the

third.

I,

as

many

times

as

I

see

him

there

and

he's,

he's,

you

know,

and

there's

not

a

better

player

for

me

that

I

don't,

I

have

higher

ranked

on

my

board.

He's

on

my

roster.

So

I,

I

hope,

I'm

hoping

for

a

change

of

scenery.

I,

I'm

still

worried

about,

you

know,

what's

his

face,

what's

that

player

that

was

the

backup

last

year?

Eric Balkman

Isaac

Grando.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

Garando.

I

mean,

I

liked

him.

I

write

him

a

little

bit.

He

seemed

one,

you

know,

one

dimensional.

I,

I

think,

I

think

it's,

it's

gonna

not

be

too

long

before

Jordan,

if,

if

there's

an

injury,

he's

going

to

get

a

shot

and

it

could

be,

it

could

be

a

good

shot.

Eric Balkman

You

know,

it's

weird

to

think

about

this,

but

when

you

consider

that.

Here's

the

thing.

Jordan

James

was.

What,

What.

Where

was

he

in

the

NFL

Draft,

Scott?

Was

he

a

6?

He

was

a

Day

3

pick,

right?

Scott Brzycki

No,

he's

Day

2,

wasn't

he?

Eric Balkman

Was

he?

Dude,

I'm

looking

it

up

right

now

because

I'm

curious

myself

because

it

was.

Scott Brzycki

He

was

day

three,

fifth

round,

early.

Eric Balkman

Fifth

round,

fifth

round,

early

fifth

round

pick.

You

don't

necessarily

think

about

players

like

that

as

targets

in

your

dynasty.

Rookie

draft

and

quite

frankly

we

can.

The

we

don't

have

the

time

to

go

through

all

the

failed

day

two

and

day

three

running

backs

that

Kyle

Shannon

has

drafted

in

San

Francisco

to

Tyrion

Davis

Price

and,

and

so

on

and

so

forth.

We

just

don't

have

the

time.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

lots.

Eric Balkman

But

Jordan

James,

when

you

consider

what

you're

giving

up

in

your

rookie

draft,

like,

to

me

it

represents

a

good

risk

and

yes,

it

probably

will

fail,

but

I,

I

just,

I

feel

like

how

late

he's

going

right

now.

I'm

on

board.

I

don't

know

if

he's

going

to

be

the

heir

apparent

there,

but

I

do

know

if

McCaffrey

goes

down

this

year,

he's,

he's

probably

gonna

factor

heavily

into

it.

Right?

He's

probably

gonna,

like

with

Garendo,

you

know,

whatever.

I,

I,

I

just,

I

love

the

fact

of,

of

you

can

acquire

this

guy

for

nearly

nothing,

no

draft

capital.

Stick

him

on

your

bench

in

the

FFPC

dynasty

leagues

and

see

what

happens.

He

is

a

player

well

worth

taking

the

risk.

We

heard

this,

Scott,

before

the

NFL

draft.

We

heard

that

Jordan,

whoever

Jordan

James

gets

with,

like,

you

need

to

be

paying

attention

with.

I

heard,

I

think

football

guys

was

driving

this

narrative.

And,

and

I

don't

necessarily

disagree

with

it,

but

they

said

what

happens

if

Bay

Shell

Tootin

lands

with

the

49ers.

Now

he

didn't.

He

goes

to

the

Jaguars.

And,

and

we

could

talk

about,

you

know,

20,

25

minutes

on

that,

but

he

goes

to

the

Jaguars.

But

what

if

Jordan

James

was

the

replacement

for

Bial

Tutin

and

all

of

a

sudden

you're

looking

at

like,

yeah,

I

think

this

is

a

player

that

is

not

going

to

cost

me

a

lot

in

my

draft

capital

in

my

rookie

dynasty

drafts.

I

should

be

acquiring

him

just

to

see

what

happens.

And

Scott,

that's

exactly

what

you

have

been

doing

so

far.

Scott Brzycki

Yep,

100%.

Like

I

said,

I

liked

him.

And

you

know,

where

did

Bucky

go

last

year?

Ferrell Elliott

Fifth

round.

Eric Balkman

It

was

super

late.

Super

late.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

yeah,

he

was

another

player

last

year.

He

was

a

flag,

he

was

a

flag

plant

for

me

and

you

know,

anytime

I

could

get

him,

I

got

him.

And

that

paid

off

as

well.

Like

I

said,

you

can't

be

looking

past,

you

know,

too

much

past

the,

the

current

window

next

year

or

two

when

you're

looking

at

your

running

backs

especially.

And

like

I

said,

if

you

got

a

shot

at

that

kind

of

offense

and

that

kind

of,

you

know,

that

kind

of

opportunity,

you

got

to

take

it.

Eric Balkman

I

can't

remember

who

said

this.

And

Feral,

I'm

gonna

let

you,

let

you

ask

Scott

the

Final

question

here

in

a

little

bit.

But

I,

I

can't

remember

who

said

this.

It

might

have

been

JJ's

Zacharison

from

late

round

QB.

Do

you

feel

like

you

are

better

off

in

managing

your

dynasty

league,

Scott,

when

you

manage

them

like

they're

a

keeper

league

rather

than

a

dynasty

league?

In

other

words,

you're

thinking

about

these

players

from

a

two

to

three

year

window

rather

than

a

total

career

window.

Scott Brzycki

Yeah,

I

think

that's

the

way

to.

I

manage

my

rosters

deep.

I

like

to

have

a

lot

of

talent

moving

around

and

that

way,

you

know,

if

somebody

makes

you

the

right

offer,

that

player

can

go

and

you

can

replace

that

and

move

that

up

and

down

your

roster

and

you're

moving,

moving

lots

of

parts.

So

yeah,

I

really

don't.

If

you

look

at

any

of

your

rosters

year

to

year,

I

mean,

I

write

them

down

and

look

at

them

and

go,

is

that

even

the

same

team

I

had

last

year?

Mostly.

You

know,

it

doesn't

even

look

the

same.

There

might

be

two

or

three

pieces

to

your

point,

a

keeper

league,

you

know,

where

you

might

keep

two

to,

you

know,

five

players.

It

looks

like

that.

And

then

everything

else

is,

is

rearranged.

Ferrell Elliott

Bonus

tight

end

question

for

you,

Scott.

I

don't

know

if

you

can

answer

or

not.

Who's

the

tight

end

that

Saints

took

late

6

foot

8

guy

out

of

UCLA?

Scott Brzycki

I

think

I

know

this

one.

Ferrell Elliott

Oh,

I

stumped

him.

Balky.

I

stumped

it.

That's

a

hard

guy.

Yeah.

Eric Balkman

If

you

know

it,

if

you

know.

Ferrell Elliott

It,

you

can't

pronounce

it,

so

don't

worry.

Scott Brzycki

Is

it

the,

Is

it

Gunther?

Is

it

Gunther?

Eric Balkman

Oh,

no,

no,

no,

no,

no.

Let

me

take

a

crack

at

this.

Ferrell Elliott

Yes,

you

go.

Eric Balkman

Go

Bobby

Maliki.

Matatavao.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

there

you

go.

And

he's

it.

Eric Balkman

I

don't

even

know

if

that's

it.

Ferrell Elliott

And

he's

6

foot

8.

So

this

is

how

I

think

I'm

in

the

last

round

of

the

draft.

I

see

a

6

foot

8

tight

end,

you

know,

I'd

hell

with

it,

I

want

to

draft

him.

You

know,

that's

my,

that's

my.

Scott Brzycki

I

endorse.

I

endorse

that

logic.

I

endorse

that

logic.

Eric Balkman

Carol.

Ferrell Elliott

Endorse

me

this

logic.

Who's

somebody

you

gotta

have

and

who's

someone

you're

avoiding

like

the

play?

And

the

more

controversial

that

pick

is,

is,

or

though

that

statement

is,

the

better

it

is.

Eric Balkman

Yeah.

Ferrell Elliott

Don't

be

afraid,

don't

be

afraid

to

swim

against

the

current

here.

Scott Brzycki

My,

my

avoid,

My

avoid

is

going

to

be

probably

more

Controversial.

Ferrell Elliott

Okay.

Scott Brzycki

But

my

go,

my

go

get,

you

know,

I,

I,

we've

already

kind

of

talked

about

him.

I

really,

you

know,

Jordan

James

has

been

the

guy

for

me.

Like

I

said,

he's

a,

he's

a,

he's,

he's

a

flag

player.

Trey,

you

know,

Trey

was

the

other

one

that's

been

a

go

get

for

me,

and

then

Ferguson

was

a

go

get

for

me.

Those

were

guys

that

just

kept

it,

the

value

just

kept

falling.

And

I'm

a,

you

know,

value

based

drafter,

you

know,

you

know,

not

looking

for

position.

I

want

the

best

player

available

all

the

time

by

my

rankings,

you

know,

not

everybody

else's

rankings,

although

everybody

else's

information

factors

in.

I

listen

to

podcasts

when

I

mountain

bike,

you

know,

get

everybody's,

you

know,

yours

included,

to

get

different

kind

of

perspective,

of

course.

But,

you

know,

at

the

end

of

the

day,

it's

the

best

value.

But

I

do

have

some

targets

and

those

were

those.

But

my.

Avoid

Travis

Hunter.

I

don't

see

it.

I

don't

understand

it.

I

looked

at

the

tape.

I

watched

about

four

games.

I

don't

see

the,

I

see

some

rawness,

but

I

look

at

the

risk

side

of

this.

The,

the

risk

side

of

this.

Of,

you

know,

he's

gonna

play

corner.

Is

he

gonna

know

the,

the,

the

book,

you

know,

he's

gonna

know

the

playbook

like

he

should.

Is

he

gonna

get

the

reps

in

that?

He

should.

Is

he

gonna

learn

the

technique

and

tactic

that

he

should?

The

NFL's

tough

and

you

can

have

a

lot,

there's

a

lot

of

athletes

that

didn't

pan

out

for

us

in

fantasy.

And

to

me,

that's

just

ridiculous

amount

of

risk.

And

I

don't

see

the

upside.

I

don't

see,

I

know.

Don't.

I

don't

see

the

upside.

Eric Balkman

All

right,

so,

so

John

Terry

is

obviously

disagreeing

with

you.

Corey

Walter

is

the

same.

I'm

not

necessarily

disagreeing

with

you,

Scott,

but

I

will

say

there

is

a

lot

of.

And,

and

listen,

I'm

not

taking

a

stand

here,

so

don't

fantasy

receipts.

If

you're

watching

this,

don't

quote

me

on

this.

Although

I

thought.

I

know

you

will,

but,

but

here's

the

thing.

When

it

comes

to

Travis

Hunter,

I

can

totally

see

the

downside.

I

think

a

lot

of

people

are

so

excited

about,

to

quote

Al

Gore

from,

from

Saturday

Night

Live.

I'm

so

excited

about

Travis

Hunter

being

the

wide

receiver

for

the

Jacksonville

Jaguars

and

not

the

cornerback.

There

is

still

a

downside.

There

is

still

something

that

we

have

to

recognize

as

far

as

our

Dynasty,

rookie

drafts

go

as

far

as

our

dynasty

or

as

far

as

our

best

ball

drafts

go,

be

it

in

the

KFFSC

or

ffpc.

Like

you

have

to

recognize

there

is

some

downside

for

Hunter.

I

was

thrilled

that

I

got

Hunter

in

the

double

digit

rounds

in

The

KFFSC

Sweet

16,

you

know,

back

on

Super

Bowl

Sunday

or

whatever

it

was.

I

was

thrilled.

However,

I

understand

that

while

it's

exciting

to

draft

Travis

Hunter

now,

there

is

still

some

downside

there

he

is

on

the

Jacksonville

Jaguars,

a

team

that

features

Brian

Thomas

Jr.

A

team

that

features

Brenton

Strange,

a

team

that

features.

Yeah,

Travis

Atn

and,

and

listen,

there's

probably

not

a

whole

lot

there

anymore

but

Bashaw,

Tutin

La

Quint

Allen,

Tank

Bigsby,

there's

all

these

pass

catchers

on

Jacksonville

this

year

and

it's

fine

if

you,

if

you

still

like

Hunter,

but

I

think

you

still

have

to

recognize

the

downside.

Scott Brzycki

And

didn't

they

trade,

didn't

they

pick

up

Christian

Kurt,

you

know

and.

Eric Balkman

No,

no,

no,

they

traded,

they,

they

traded

Kirk

to

the,

to

the

Texans.

So

he

is

not

on

the,

on

the.

Scott Brzycki

Oh

that's

right.

Kirk

went

to

the

Texans.

Eric Balkman

He

went

to

the

Texans.

Okay.

They,

they

cut

Gabe

Davis

which

I

mean

that's

to

me

that's,

that

was,

that

doesn't

affect

it

at

all.

But

the

whole

point

I'm

driving

home

here

is

you

could

be

right

about

Hunter.

I,

I,

I,

I

recognize

that

Hunter

could

be

this,

this

boon

for

a

lot

of

people

in,

in

Dynasty

and

in

Redraft

right

now.

But

not

a

lot

of

people

are

talking

about

the,

the

underside

of,

of

him

maybe

not

achieving

what

they

want

him

to

achieve

in

year

one

with

Brian

Thomas,

with

him

wanting

to

play

corner

as

well.

So

and

I

think

that's

the

point

I

want

to

drive

home

here.

And

I

think

that's

what

you're

trying

to

drive

home

here

too,

Scott,

is.

Scott Brzycki

Is

we

recognize

exactly

that.

It's.

Ferrell Elliott

The

fact

that

there

are,

there

are

so

many,

there's

so

many

people

raising

hell

about

that

answer.

Makes

me

understand

that

whether

you

agree

or

disagree

about

it

and

since

we've

been

asking

this

question

balky,

that's

the

best

answer

we've

ever

had.

Eric Balkman

Yeah,

and

and,

and

like

and

Cory

best

answer.

Yeah.

Corey

Walters

is

piping

into

There

is

also

upside.

I

think

Scott

and

Pharoah

and

myself

we're

all

representing

there

is

upside

down

side.

Nobody

is

denying

that

however.

Yeah.

Scott Brzycki

I

don't

think

he's

trash

talent.

Eric Balkman

No,

absolutely

not.

Especially

you

know

you

consider

oh

my

God,

the

Pharaoh,

the

soliloquy

we

heard

from

James

Gladstone

talking

about

Travis

Hunter

at

his

introductory

press

conference.

My

God,

it

was

a

haiku

on

steroids.

This

is

a

guy

who

loves

Travis

Hunter.

Hunter.

This

is

a

guy

who

comes

from

the

F

them

picks

philosophy

out

in

Los

Angeles

with

less

need.

Right.

So

the

fact

that

they

traded

up

for

him,

I,

I

don't

think

I'm

being

hyperbolic

when

I

say

Travis

Hunter

is

going

to

be

one

of

the

most

followed

players

from

now

until

the

start

of

the

NFL

season,

which

is

going

to

come

up

in

September

as

far

as

his

ADP

goes.

Because

there's

going

to

be

a

lot

of

people

that

are

on

them

and

there's

going

to

be

a

lot

of

people

that

won't

touch

him

whatsoever.

And

Scott

Brzicki

definitely

falling

in

on

that.

Scott,

this

was

so

much

fun

tonight.

I

apologize.

We've

kept

you

a

little

bit

long.

I've

been

chatty

all

week

on

all

my

podcasts.

This

was

so

much

fun.

Congratulations

on

all

your

success

in

the

FFPC

dynasty

leagues.

Scott Brzycki

Thank

you.

Eric Balkman

Keep

it

up

with,

with

all

your

rookie

drafts

and

then

obviously

with

everything

coming

up

in

drafting

season,

be

it

the

main

event,

the

big

gorilla,

everything

that

you

may

or

may

not

be

jumping

in

on.

Thank

you

so

much

for

hopping

aboard

tonight

and

we'll

do

this

again

hopefully

real

soon,

my

friend.

Have

a

great

weekend.

Scott Brzycki

Absolute

pleasure.

Thanks

for

inviting

me.

Ferrell Elliott

Thank

you,

Scott.

Eric Balkman

That

is

Scott

Brzicki,

ladies

and

gentlemen.

You

can.

He

is

out

in

the

desert

in,

in

Arizona.

Yeah,

that

is

where

he's.

He's

located

at.

And

you

can

follow

him

on

Facebook.

I

don't

believe

he's

on

X.

I

could

be

wrong

on

that.

Facebook.com

brzicki

that

is

brz

yck

I

brz

y

c

k

I.

Excuse

me.

Okay.

Ferrell Elliott

He

needs,

he

needs

a

vow.

But

you

know,

we,

I'm

gonna

invite

him.

Eric Balkman

No,

he

does

not

need

a

vote.

Listen,

listen.

When

you

live

in

Wisconsin

like

I

do

and

you

see

all

your

friends

having

all

these

last

names

without

a

vowel,

he

definitely.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

we're

getting.

We're

in

kind

of.

We're

gonna

invite

him

to

Kentucky

and

we're

gonna.

Eric Balkman

Yeah,

yeah,

that'd

be

great.

You

know,

we'll,

we'll.

We'll

send

a

text

message

to

Vanna.

Ferrell Elliott

White

and

there's

several

observations,

several

observations

that

I've

had

tonight.

First

of

all,

oh,

Scott

just

said

a

thing.

He

did.

He

is

on

the

X,

I

think.

Eric Balkman

Oh,

he

is.

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah.

Eric Balkman

Hold

on.

I

didn't

see

that.

Ferrell Elliott

You

go

to

your

private

chat

and

you'll

get

there.

I

think

that's

what

it

said.

Eric Balkman

Okay.

Yeah.

Ferrell Elliott

Something

else.

Eric Balkman

No,

that's

correct.

That's

correct.

Ferrell Elliott

I

can't

read

the

code

sometimes.

You

know,

there's.

I

like

the

way

you

talk

about

this

private

dynasty

league

that

you're

in.

I

love

the

way

you,

I

think

that

you

should

go

there

with

your

new

partner

this

year.

Eric Balkman

Who's

my

new

partner?

Ferrell Elliott

Yeah,

your

spirit

animal,

Oinker.

You

should

take

Oinker

into

the

private.

You

know,

and,

and

you

should,

and

you

know,

they

will

think

that

you've

lost

your

mind,

but

it's,

it's

truly,

you

know,

it,

it

would

be

truly

eclectic

for

you

to

go

in.

I

think

you

could

get

in

the

heads

of

the,

the

other

drafters.

And

then

the

most

amazing

thing.

I

would

have

lost

this

bet.

We're

talking

about

wide

receivers

that

left

Pittsburgh.

It

did

not

do

successfully,

were

not

successful,

and

John

Terry

did

not

bring

up

Claypool.

And

you

know,

that's,

that's

one

of

the

most

amazing

things

that

happened

tonight.

So

either,

you

know,

either

John's

given,

given

us

a

pass.

You

know,

my.

In

defense

of

Claypool,

he

went

out

one

week

and

scored

45

points

for

me.

Eric Balkman

So,

you

know

the,

the

guy

I

was

referring

to

before

who

joins

me

on

my

local

radio

show,

who

is

out

of

middle

central

Pennsylvania,

he

owns

a

Pharaoh.

And

you'll

remember

this

guy

out

of

Texas,

I

think

a

third

round

pick,

he

wears

it

to

all

his

Pittsburgh

home

games

that

he

goes

to

Limas

Swede.

Remember

Lyme

Swede?

Oh,

he

loved

Lima,

sweetie.

He's

still.

I

said,

you

are

the

only

guy,

including

Lima,

Swede's

mother

and

father,

who

own

a

Lima

Swede

jersey.

And

he

wears

it

proudly

to

every

Steelers

game

that

he

goes

to.

I,

I

always

bring

this

up

for

all

the

people

out

there

saying

like,

oh,

the

Steelers

don't

miss

on

day

one

or

day

two

receivers.

Yes,

they

do.

There's

plenty

of

them

that

they've

missed

on

now.

There's

plenty

of

them

that

they've

hit

on,

but

there's

plenty

of

them

that

they've

missed

on

as

well.

We

didn't

get

a

chance

to

talk

about

this

tonight,

but

I'll

end

it

with,

with

a

Steelers

question.

And,

and,

and

I,

I

apologize

for,

for

not

bringing

this

up

earlier,

but

this

was

an

email

that

we

got

in.

God,

about

four

hours

ago.

I

want

to

say

roughly,

Randy

in

Vesper,

Wisconsin,

wants

to

know,

where

do

you

stand

Ron

Roman

Wilson

vs.

Calvin

Austin?

I

made

my

thoughts

clear

earlier

on

this.

I

said,

Calvin

Austin

Farrell,

how

do

you

feel

about

it?

Ferrell Elliott

I'm

still

around.

Eric Balkman

You're

a

Roman

Wilson

guy.

Okay.

Ferrell Elliott

I

think

we

can

find

Calvin

Austin

talent

sets

with

other

teams

where

that

skill

set

will

do

better.

If

that

makes

sense.

Eric Balkman

It

does,

it

does

make

sense.

And

there

is,

there's

definitely

a

school

thought

for

both

of

those.

Let's

talk

about

the

Kentucky

Tennessee

football

state

champ.

I

just

made

my

pick.

In

what

league

was

this?

That

I

think

it

was

a

main

event.

That

I

made

this

main

event.

It

was

main

event

and

I

just

took

at

the

7:10

TJ

Hawkinson

as

my

first

tight

end

off

the

board.

This

is

a.

No,

this

is

a.

Beg

your

pardon.

Ferrell Elliott

It's

not

the

main

event.

Eric Balkman

It

was

a

draft

master

that

I,

that

I

took.

T.J.

hawkinson.

I

like

the

way

my

team

is

shaping

up.

Not

only

in

that

but

in

the

KFFSC

main

event,

the

training

camp

edition,

which

is

often

running.

You

too

can

join

the

KFFSC

main

event

by

signing

up

for.

Let

me

think

about

this

here

for

a

second.

It

is

the

preseason

division

in

a

four

hour

format

or

the

mini

camp

division

in

a

six

hour

format.

Draft

will

start

as

soon

as

it's

filled.

That's

just

the,

the,

the,

the

training

camp

or

excuse

me,

that's

just

the

main

event

for

kffsc.

You

have

the

draft

master.

You

have

so

much

more

going

on.

Ferrell Elliott

We

got

a

best

ball

championship,

Bucky,

waiting

for

96

teams.

The

first

20

of

them

are

already

spoken

for.

300

entry

pays

a

grand

prize,

including

me.

Eric Balkman

Right.

Like

I'm

in

that

twice.

Ferrell Elliott

You're,

you're

in

there

and

you

can,

you

can

do

more

anytime.

But

you

know,

I

will

and,

and

I

think

that's

going

to

be

an

exciting,

an

exciting

league

and

a

good

way

for

people

to

win

a

nice

payday.

It

pays

well

in

the,

in

the

divisions

too.

And

the

Sweet

16

has

got

a

unique

format

to

play.

So

it's

enjoyable

and

a

lot

of

fun.

It's

what

we

do

on

super

Sunday,

you

know.

Balky.

I

just

cannot

wait

to

get

to

football.

We

got

a

lot

of

fantasy

drafting

to

do

which

makes

it

tolerable.

But

we,

we've

got

to

get,

we've

got

to

get

to

the

NFL.

Eric Balkman

I

just,

I

keep

saying

this

and

like

nobody

wants

to

hear

it

from

me

because

they're,

they're

hearing

it

from

the

ffpc.

If

you

get

in

a

draft

right

now

in

the

KFFSC

or

the

ffpc,

be

it

the

main

event,

the

big

guerilla,

the

best

ball

tournaments,

the

KFFSC

Sweet

16,

KFFSC

Main

Event,

you

are

getting

great

value

on

A

lot

of

ADP

in,

in.

In

those

events.

Players

I

let's

fat.

Let's

flash

back

to

when

I

was

drafting

in

the

KFFSC

on

super

Sunday.

Ashton

Genty

in

the

late

third

round.

Travis

Hunter

in.

In

a

double

digit

round.

Pharaoh,

you

can

still

get

certain

value.

I'm

not

saying

you

can

get

values

on

those

specific

players

but

you

can

still

get

great

values

on

players.

If

you're

drafting

here

on

May

9th

when

a

lot

of

people

haven't

woken

up

yet

and,

and

if

you're

trying

to

win

a

main

event

grand

prize

in

the

kffsc,

if

you're

trying

to

win

a

seven

figure

grand

prize

in

the

ffpc,

now

is

the

time

to

draft.

I

know

you've

been

drafting.

I

know

this

is

a

lot

of

fun

and

things

will

change

very,

very

quickly

as

we

move

on

throughout

the

summer

but

man

this.

If

you

haven't

drafted

yet,

now

is

the

time

to

draft.

Ferrell Elliott

Exactly.

Balky.

And

it

it

the

culmination

of

the

drafting

year

is

is

in

Las

Vegas,

the

FFPC

and

I

look

forward

to

seeing

everyone

out

there

and

it

will

be

a

blast

to

see.

It'll

be

a

blast

to

see

everyone

we're

waiting

for.

Eric Balkman

Sorry.

Sorry

about

that.

I

just

want

to

make

sure

I.

Ferrell Elliott

Got

well,

you

know

it's

gonna

work.

Eric Balkman

Yeah.

So

kffsc.com

is

where

to

go.

Kffsc.com

Pharaoh,

thank

you

so

much.

I

am

springing

this

upon

you

right

now.

Are

you

and,

and

I,

I

think

we

talked

about

this

earlier

tonight.

You

are

able

to

do

a

show

not

next

Friday

but

this

coming

Wednesday.

Ferrell Elliott

I'm

gonna

be

with

you

Wednesday.

I,

I

wouldn't

miss

it.

Balking

for

the

world.

Eric Balkman

That's

what

I

thought.

So

Farrell

and

I

will

be

on

the

air

next

Wednesday

at

10pm

Not

Friday.

Pharrell,

thank

you

so

much.

KFFSC.com

is

where

to

go.

Be

good

my

friend.

We'll

talk

with

you

next

week.

Ferrell Elliott

Thank

you,

brother.

Eric Balkman

That

is

Pharrell

Elliott,

the

definitive

commissioner

of

fantasy

football.

KFFSC.com

is

where

to

go

to

register

for

all

of

his

tournaments,

leagues

which

I

have

signed

up

for

in

en

masse

and

I'll

be

doing

much

more

so

going

Forward

there@kffsc.com

I

want

to

thank

Scott

Brzicki,

Farrell

Elliott,

the

FFPC,

Rob

Bryce

and

of

course

each

and

every

one

of

you

for

streaming,

watching,

listening,

downloading.

We

appreciate

you.

The

high

stakes

Fantasy

football

hour

as

I

just

mentioned

to

Pharrell,

we'll

be

back.

We

will

not

have

a

show

next

Friday

night.

We

will

have

a

show

next

Wednesday

night

10pm

Eastern

time

with

five

time

FFPC

champ

Adam

Tus.

And

what's

interesting

about

this

show,

the

NFL

schedule

comes

out

I

believe

at

8pm

Eastern

time

that

night.

So

we'll

be

able

to

tackle

all

the

ins

and

outs

of

the

NFL

schedule

as

you

are

drafting

your

best

ball

teams,

your

big

guerrilla

teams

and

your

FFPC

Main

Event

teams.

In

case

you

missed

it,

we

did

not

have

an

insider

access

show

this

past

Thursday

on

the

Better

Sports

Network.

We

did

a

special

show

on

Wednesday

when

we

covered

the

Hardway

Big

gorilla

draft,

my

ffpc.com

all

the

FFPC

socials

and

of

course

the

Better

Sports

Network.

This

was

a

collection

of

super

talented

FFPC

players

including

but

not

limited

to

the

Go

Bills

franchise

who

won

back

to

back

FFPC

Main

Event

championships.

You

think

about

Dan

Williamson,

the

overhyped

sleeper

who

co

hosts

the

Stack

Hunters

Podcast.

Over

on

the

the

Player

Profiler

Podcast

network.

There

is

a

ton

of

players

Mike

shop

from

WGR550

in

Buffalo.

He

had

the

number

one

pick

last

night.

So

we

had

a

ton

of

great

drafters

and

in

case

you

missed

it,

you

want

to

watch

it.

Would

they

call

it

the

hard

way

for

a

reason?

These

12

players

are

signing

up

for

the

hard

way

on

winning

a

million

dollar

grand

prize

in

the

FFPC

Big

Gorilla

this

year.

Dave

Chipoli,

the

14

time

FFPC

league

Champion

co

hosted

with

me.

We

had

great

interviews

from

a

be

bag

Bitoba

who

is

the

back

to

back

Football

Guys

Players

Championship

Champion.

We

had

Darren

Armani

fantasymojo.com

We

had

Theo

Gremminger

fantasypoints.com

and

of

course

Bradley

Staler

from

the

Stat

Hunters

Podcast

on

the

Player

Profiler

Network.

It

was

a

great

show

and

in

case

you

missed

it,

go

to

the

Better

Sports

Network

socials

as

well

as

the

FFPC

Socials.

We

will

be

going

live

this

Thursday

this

coming

Thursday

with

one

of

my

favorite

guests

of

all

time

from

rotow.com

Alan

Sowski.

If

we

were

going

on

the

air,

literally

on

the

air

with

the

fcc,

we

would

have

to

have

the

mute

button

at

a

fingertip

away

because

you

never

know

what

Alan

Sislowski

is

going

to

say.

Eric Balkman

I

know

this

is

going

to

sound

salesy

but

I

will

say

more

so

than

any

other

year.

This

year

I

am

seeing

a

huge

spike

in

drafting

early.

And

yes,

maybe

you've

missed

out

on

certain

things

drafting

early,

but

I

know

from

drafting

now,

which

is

still

early,

I'm

still

seeing

huge

dividends

in

the

kffsc.

If

you

want

to

set

yourself

up

for

success,

Mother

of

God,

draft

before

June,

Draft

before

Mother's

Day.

This

is

when

you

win

seven

grand

last

sales

pitch

I'm

going

to

give

you

on

that.

I'm

just

telling

you

from

personal

experience

I

feel

really

good

about

this

year.

You

should

too.

Happy

Mother's

Day

to

my

mother

and

Happy

Mother's

Day

to

my

wife.

Happy

Mother's

Day

to

all

the

moms

out

there.

Chances

are

anybody

who's

watching

this

could

not

be

in

the

place

they're

at

without

their

mothers.

So

happy

Mom's

Day

for

everybody

out

there

and

we

will

talk

Thank

you

so

much.
