00:01Yes, these bells also can be heard in an acapella performance at Greater Life at the 930 Sunday Mass.
00:09David, what are we doing?
00:11So the final preseason game in the NFL is this weekend, starting today, Friday, and Saturday.
00:17And a lot of people are having their fantasy football drafts.
00:21So I have a consensus of who is in the top 25 player-wise.
00:26And I want you guys to guess some of these players in the top 25 here.
00:29These are easy, regardless of format.
00:31Correct.
00:32Here's a two-piece.
00:33Bijan and Jameer, it's probably 1-2.
00:35You are correct.
00:36They are 1-2.
00:37Have you seen Bijan run?
00:39I have seen Bijan run.
00:41All right.
00:42Now, this ain't make or take it, is it?
00:43It doesn't have to be.
00:44No.
00:44Let's go with you now, Rico.
00:46JSN.
00:47Yes, he is number five on this list.
00:50Is there any fear to him having a little bit of a letdown?
00:55Like, do we really believe?
00:57Remember, I'm always a big believer if you go and win the Super Bowl, you're probably
01:01going to be trash next year.
01:02Two, are we convinced Sam Darnold, after the loss of K-9, is simply just going to target
01:09this guy 180 times again and have it be whiz-bang-pow, magically delicious?
01:14I wonder a little bit about it.
01:16I can understand that.
01:17But I think that they know that if they want to go anywhere in that tough division, they
01:22got to make sure that they get him the ball.
01:24More A.J.
01:25I have one for you, and I think he's going to have an unbelievable season.
01:29This is the last chance at the OK Corral here, OK?
01:34Jamar Chase.
01:36It's now or never for the Bengals and for Joe Kuhl and the whole deal.
01:39Jamar Chase explosion season.
01:41So you have the top three.
01:42OK.
01:43You got Robinson Gibbs and Chase.
01:45They are one, two, and three.
01:46Do we all agree on that, though?
01:47This is it.
01:48Like, the narrative will turn on Burrow and Chase and the Bengals if they are not much
01:54better.
01:54I was about to say, him and Burrow, hand in hand.
01:56OK.
01:57This is it for you.
01:58Corbin, go ahead, buddy.
01:59I'm sorry.
01:59I didn't mean to cut you off there.
02:00Oh, no, you're good.
02:01What I want to say, though, about JSN, I think it'll affect him more with Clint Kubiak out
02:05of the building.
02:05That's another great point.
02:06Because Kubiak, outstanding play caller, outstanding run game coordinator.
02:12That's how you end up being wide open on these play passes.
02:15It's a good point.
02:16If I'm going to throw a name out there, let me go with a quarterback, Josh Allen.
02:21There are no quarterbacks on this list in the top 25.
02:25How embarrassing.
02:26OK.
02:27I'm going to go with maybe probably getting towards the end.
02:32I'm going to go with Christian McCaffrey.
02:34Christian McCaffrey is number 10.
02:37Still on this list.
02:39I don't have a problem with it.
02:40I mean, I know the substation jokes and all of that, but you're still getting a Kyle Shanahan
02:45offense, an elite run scheme.
02:47And what CMC provides that a lot of backs don't, he's basically a wide receiver.
02:52It's just he's consistent and he takes care of himself in an elite manner.
02:58He's very similar to Derrick Henry in that regard.
03:00I know the injuries rack up, but dude, you go throw Derrick Henry in there.
03:04I'm not.
03:05Not after that meltdown in Buffalo.
03:06Throwing all the fumbles to hell with Derrick Henry.
03:09I will give you I'm sticking with the wide receivers just because they are so copious
03:13in today's fantasy football.
03:14I'll give you a guy.
03:16He's got no quarterback play and I'm worried about him.
03:18But as a talent, he's superb.
03:21Give me Drake London.
03:22Drake London is number 11 on this list.
03:25That's a sell, by the way.
03:26I can't do that.
03:27I know you need a level of quarterback play to beat a top dog.
03:32And when you're talking about a guy in the top 10, it has to check every box.
03:36If you're going to use that draft pick on that player, it's different than if you're in the
03:3910th round and you're like, hey, let me YOLO ball Casey Concepcion.
03:44That's a different thing.
03:45You're taking Drake London in the first round of your draft.
03:47You sure about that?
03:50I got somebody I think you'll take in the first round.
03:52Justin Jefferson.
03:54Justin Jefferson.
03:56Wow.
03:56Maybe I just can't see.
03:58He is here.
03:58Number 12.
03:59There we go.
04:00I was about to say, wow.
04:01Please tell me he's on this list or it's null and void.
04:04All right.
04:05Let's keep it.
04:06I mean, I don't have a problem with it.
04:07I'm going to put my glasses on so I can see these things.
04:10I think part of that is with some of the quarterbacks that are ahead of him.
04:14Now, I would never have him below Drake London.
04:17I wouldn't.
04:18I think that's wrong.
04:20It's the quarterback play.
04:21Like, it makes no sense to have London ahead of him.
04:24But could I take Justin Jefferson over Chase?
04:27Over JSN?
04:28Could I take him over Puka?
04:30I was about to say, didn't Puka?
04:33Puka and probably Amon Ra.
04:36Puka is number four.
04:38Surprised you didn't take him.
04:39Amon Ra is number six.
04:41You were biting to take him.
04:42Well, I think Amon Ra is one of the safest picks.
04:45I don't think he'll get the touchdown volume.
04:47He won't score the long touchdowns.
04:50But from a target standpoint, health, commitment to the game,
04:54he's a guy you could write an article.
04:56He's in the best shape of his life.
04:58He looks like an absolute monster this year.
05:00And he's got a synergy with the quarterback.
05:02And they play indoors.
05:04Like, Amon Ra is a safe first-round pick.
05:06I don't think you're going to win your league with it.
05:08But he's safe.
05:09He's going to go out and get you something every week.
05:11He ain't going to be reading Socrates on the sideline, pouting.
05:15Well, speaking of that, A.J. Brown.
05:17A.J. Brown is number 17 on this list.
05:21Reading Socrates.
05:21I think it's boom or bust.
05:23I think he either gets back to being one of the five best guys in the league,
05:26or this is it.
05:28It's a very risky proposition.
05:30I view him just as a different version of Steph Diggs.
05:32Before you give the Saquon.
05:34Go ahead.
05:35Saquon Barkley is number 14 on this list.
05:39All right, stay with the Eagles.
05:41Guy I think is going to have a big season.
05:42Devontae Smith.
05:44Devontae Smith.
05:45Let me look again.
05:47Yep.
05:47No, he is not on this list.
05:49And not top 25.
05:51What?
05:52Yeah.
05:53You know what?
05:53I think that's crazy.
05:54Let's go tight end Colston Loveland.
05:57Colston Loveland is not top 25 as well.
06:01Brock Bowers.
06:02Brock Bowers is number 20.
06:05I barely made it.
06:07Yeah, so if Bowers is 20, here's the question.
06:10Yep.
06:10Would Gentee be higher or lower?
06:13Gentee would be higher.
06:15Would he?
06:16This list is a little funky.
06:17Devontae Smith is not being there.
06:19He is higher.
06:20He is number nine.
06:22Okay, great.
06:23I disagree with it.
06:24Bowers should be higher.
06:26Gentee, I know.
06:27What does John Fanta have to say about it?
06:32In the top 10, man.
06:34It's crazy.
06:35I think it's crazy.
06:36I mean, I know the O-line will be a little bit better, but there is competition there.
06:40That Mike Washington kid they drafted has a lot of speed.
06:42He's a different type of back.
06:43I just, I think that's a little much.
06:45Bowers is still the centerpiece of the passing game.
06:47He's still a shoo-in for 130 targets.
06:51Receding hairline and all.
06:53So let me give you the rest of the list.
06:5425, Rashi Rice.
06:56Yes.
06:5724, Kenneth Walker III.
06:58Yes.
06:5923, Trey McBride.
07:01No.
07:0122, George Pickens.
07:03And you're saying quarterback play, why you would knock him a little bit?
07:05Maybe just with McBride, look, I know somebody needs to get the targets, but holy hell, that
07:10team stands to be.
07:11Yeah.
07:12But maybe it's all garbage time.
07:14Is it Carson Beck going to be the quarterback?
07:15Right, but maybe they're down 31-10, and you're right.
07:17They do force three, four targets to him in the fourth quarter, and then all of a sudden
07:20you're back.
07:21All right, I'll say yes.
07:21You're right.
07:22Someone's got to catch the damn ball.
07:23Who's the other guy there?
07:24Michael Scott?
07:26Or wait, that's from Harrison.
07:28Harrison.
07:28It's Junior.
07:29I don't count him.
07:30He's a bum.
07:30Who's the other cat?
07:33Not George, the other receiver.
07:35You're right.
07:36I forgot his name now.
07:37I blurted out Michael Scott from Dunder Mifflin.
07:39Just keep it rolling.
07:4021, Derrick Henry.
07:42No.
07:4219, Malik Neighbors.
07:44There you go.
07:4518, Devon A. Chain.
07:4716, Nico Collins.
07:4915, Chase Brown, the running back out of Cincinnati.
07:52Love.
07:5213, CeeDee Lamb.
07:54No.
07:548, and No.
07:557, you didn't get 8.
07:56Jonathan Taylor.
07:577, James Cook, the third.
08:01A little leery on Cook, but overall I don't have huge problems.
08:04I'm telling you, Devontae Smith.
08:07Big time this year.
08:08Slim Reaper.
08:09Big time.
08:10Okay.
08:11Got the head case out of town.
08:12He's the No.
08:121 now.
08:14All right.
08:15Those are your Top 25 Fantasy Football Players 97-1.
