Top 20 Fantasy QBs and Game-Winning Strategies 🏈🔥

0:00 That is a win. But why is but that's what I don't understand All that stuff you said about Tua number one in yards. Okay, he's got lethal weapons to throw to, why is he number 12? Because I don't trust him. This is former Chicago Bear, desmond Clark, and y'all hit me on many podcasts, but when y'all hit me on Pick'em Pros, y'all know it's all about family. This ain't just business. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.

0:40 You know who it is? I am Derek Thompson and I'm Diego Thompson. And who? are we? We're the Pick'em Pros. We are the Pick'em Pros coming back at you in the house with episode 104 of who Ya Got Father-Son Dynamic Duo. Right now it's the summertime, which means it is fantasy football and we're diving into all things fantasy. My man. Yeah man, Fantasy football is what I do. Yeah, yeah, fantasy football is what I do. Yeah, yeah, fantasy football is what I do. I've got the trophies, I've got the rings, I'm ready to win another championship man, I don't think you have any rings. I do have rings. It's all about titles. You know what I mean. If you're not winning titles, you're not really playing, you know? Okay, all right.

1:21 Well, hey, today we are ranking our top 20 fantasy quarterbacks. We've already given you our top 20 wide receivers. You can go back and check that out. We've given you our top 20 running backs. We did that from the West Coast last week and now we're back home in Raleigh, north Carolina, and we are going to go ahead and give you our top 20 quarterbacks. So, before we go into our rankings, you're going to go, I'm going to go. We'll do 20 through 11, and then we'll go through our top 10. But before we dive into these rankings, let's first give some tips on drafting quarterbacks. Man, what tips do you want to give everybody in terms of how you draft your quarterback? Yo, I know I personally don't like to draft quarterbacks in the first few rounds.

2:05 I don't like to start until maybe the fourth, fifth round. I like to get my QB first. Three rounds usually go skill position, but if you want to make a big leap and go for a QB, maybe get Josh Allen, a guy who can throw for a lot of yards and run for a lot of yards and he's never been hurt before, so you don't have to worry about him being injured. So yeah. So why don't you take, why don't you take a quarterback in the first few rounds? uh, it's just not as valuable. You know, I'm saying because you can get. You can get quarterbacks later, so I spend a pick on a quarterback early, right yeah, no, and I agree with you. I have the same philosophy.

2:45 I feel that quarterbacks really one through 12. There's not a lot of difference. Um, there's, you know the. The difference is minimal. Where it's more valuable for you to build around the quarterback, it's more valuable for you to get those wide receivers that they're going to throw, to get the running backs, get those positions and then get your quarterback, because most teams carry one quarterback. So no one's going to start drafting their second quarterback until seventh round at earliest, probably eighth round. So you've got top 12 quarterbacks on the board the first six, seven rounds. So you can wait and stack your receivers, get your running backs and then get your quarterback, and you still have a quarterback that's going to put up big numbers.

3:31 So that's our philosophy and the way that we like to do it. All right, yeah, yeah. Do you have any other tips? on drafting. I think that's it. Yeah, so I've got a few more. You always want to factor in health. I think that's it in. You want to factor the schedule in and you just want to factor how high-powered the offense is. If it's a high-powered offense, that's going to make you want to go with that quarterback over a team that's not going to have the ball that much, or a team that's going to run more, so you want to factor all those things in, especially as you're drafting your backup.

4:19 So that's something important to consider. All right, well, hey, one last thing, man, how many quarterbacks do you like to carry? Do you like to carry two, or do you like to carry three? I just carry two. Okay, because the third. Unless the two quarterbacks have the same bye week, I might bring on a third for like a week, but I usually don't like to carry three. Just use that extra position on like a receiver or something, yeah. Okay to carry three. Just use that extra position on like a receiver or something, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, I agree, it depends on the situation. Every now and then you may want to have a third, especially if you have a a high risk um quarterback. So like, if you have aaron rogers this year, maybe you go three, just to you know, go a little deeper there.

5:01 But yeah, yeah, I think for the most part you typically want to have two quarterbacks, all right, well, man, go ahead and start us off, give us your 20 through 11, and then I'll give you my 20 through 11, and then we'll go top 10. Who you got? Okay, number 20, I got Baker Mayfield from the Tampa Bay Bucs Last year. He had a Pro Bowl-caliber season with the Bucs. Okay, he had a Pro Bowl caliber season with the Bucs. Okay, so you even laughing. You laughing saying that. Okay, so your old guy Baker, who used to be a Carolina Panther so those of you that don't know, diego's the biggest Carolina Panther homer. So you're starting off with an old Panther as your number 20. He wasn't good for the Panthers, but anyway, he had a Pro Bowl caliber season last year and he is without his offensive coordinator, dave Canales, who has gone from team to team and turned their quarterback situation around.

5:53 I'll tell you more about that later, but he has left, so maybe he may decline. But he does have two great receivers in Evans and Godwin. So, yeah, they have a good team there. Number 19, I have Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers. Carolina Panthers. Anyway, he was the number one draft pick. In case you guys didn't know, 2023. That was a long time ago, that was just last year. But anyway, he's the number one draft pick and he didn't have the best season last year. Okay, there's a lot of rookies okay a lot of rookies start off. They don't have their best years start off, but, um, he did beat cj shroud in the game and, um, you know they do have better receiving core.

6:40 Adam thielen was the best slot receiver in the nfl last year and to add on with that they have Deontay Johnson. He's one of the best route runners in the NFL and a great number one receiver. And they drafted Xavier Leguette, who's an absolute monster on the field. He ran like 22 miles an hour on the field last year, so he's really fast. He's going to be a good addition to the team last year. So he's really fast. He's going to be a good addition to the team. And they got added to their running backs, added to their tight ends, and their head coach, dave Canales, is the quarterback wizard. He has turned quarterback situations around. I see you rocking the Bryce Young jersey. I am One of the few people that actually have it.

7:21 There's going to be a lot more people that have it after this year. Better watch out, okay All right. Anyway, number 18, we have Caleb Williams, the rookie from the Chicago Bears, Number one overall pick for this year. I got him this high because he has a good team around him. He has DJ Moore, keenan Allen, the rookie first round receiver, roma dunze, um, deandre swift in the backfield. They have a good team. I think he's gonna put up good numbers with those guys. All right, number 17 I got trevor lawrence of the jags. Um, yeah, he, um I don't know what to say about him. He he's a solid QB and he got paid, and I think he's going to want to bounce back because the Jags didn't reach expectations last year, no, so I think he's going to want to show he was deserving of the contract he got.

8:15 He'll have a better year this year. Yeah, all right. Number 16, I got Kirk Cousins from the Falcons, new QB on the Falcons, coming off that torn Achilles, so I don't know how well he's going to start off. He put up good numbers in Minnesota Even though he had Justin. Jefferson doesn't have him anymore. I think he'll still be okay. Number 15, I got Aaron Rogers of the New York Jets. Would have him in the top 10, but with his injury history the torn Achilles last year I think he's not as reliable this year and I think 15 is a good spot to have Matt. So you've got your torn Achilles QBs back-to-back.

8:56 Yep. These are guys that could be higher on the list, but I don't know how they will start off next year and they're on new teams. So these are backup QBs? Then yeah, these are backup QBs. Number 14, I have Kyler Murray from the Cardinals. Last year or two he's been hurt with the ACL. That's affected him in both years, but now his ACL is fully healed, healed. He's got marvin harrison jr coming in. I think he's gonna put up some big numbers coming in the offense and, um, he's also a qb that can throw the ball really far. Just receivers, um hat can run a lot pick up points that way.

9:40 So, um, I think he's a good, good qb. Have a high-level backup on your fantasy team. Okay, number 13, I have Justin Herbert from the Chargers. I'm kind of nervous about Justin Herbert having him as a starter because the receivers he doesn't have Keenan Allen or Mark Williams anymore, so his receiving core is a little less reliable. He was injured last year. He had a shoulder or something like that. His touchdowns have declined every single year since 2021. 2021, he threw for 38 touchdowns. 2022 was 25 touchdowns. Last year it was 20 touchdowns.

10:22 It's been declining every year. I don't quite trust him as a starter anymore. And I've been saying, I've been saying for years on fantasy shows, go back, check out the previous shows. I've had Herbert rated lower. I always felt that from a rating standpoint his rating was much higher than the production, and now I think people are starting to see that. Yeah, because now he's around on ESPN esp. I think I'm at 14 and I have him at 13, so I'm in the same area, number 12, I have tua tug of iloa. He just got paid today. So he got paid today. I paid, he's a four-year 212 million dollar extension all right, 53 million a year, yeah, so. So this is friday, july 26th.

11:04 Yep, just got paid time to record this okay yeah, he led the n led the nfl in passing yards last year. Yes about third and passing touchdowns he's not going to be skipping camp anymore no, he's going to be able to throw the ball to tyreek and waddle uh, especially in september when it's hot. So I think if you can have him on your team as a backup, that is a win. But that's what I don't understand. That's what you're going to see is different about my list. All that stuff you said about Tua, number one in yards Okay, he's got lethal weapons to throw to Okay. Why is he number 12? Because I don't trust him. His injury history man dude, he played all year last year, did he?

11:49 Yeah, yeah he did, he, did, he did. I think yeah, injury. I think it's going to be okay. I think he's going to be okay. I think Tua is going to start. And he seems to decline. He puts up great numbers early. And even though he did the numbers overall, he was in the MVP. He was about to win MVP for about the first half of the season. He was the MVP frontrunner and then his numbers declined late in the season, and that's when you most need your QBs to put up big-time numbers. I love having Tua. I've had Tua on my rosters the last two years Was he the certified starter. What I did with him. Because of the injury history I had, I picked a backup pretty quick. I either picked him up as my first quarterback and then I quickly picked up another quarterback or I picked him up as a quick second.

12:38 But he's a. He's a stud to have on your roster some kind of way. I would definitely try, and most people. He's going to be low on most drafts. You can probably get him seventh, eighth round. Tua is a steal to get. I'd like to have Tua on my team, but I don't trust him as my certified starter. To finish the season he's going to decline, especially when it gets cold. You got to have another guy. Last year I had him and dac you know, okay, and then I could just go with I could just go week, that's bad because both of them seem to decline late in the season. All right, but go go ahead anyway. Number 11 I have matthew stafford from the rams uh put up solid numbers last year.

13:21 Not his best season. He did deal with a, I think, a few injury, maybe one injury last year. He missed about two games. But um, I'm confident I'm going in next year because he has. He has two certified uh top top 12 15 receivers puka nakua and cooper cup. Of course, uh, he's got uh kyron williams, the running back who who was putting up top five numbers last year, and he has the coach, sean McVay. So I think he's going to put up more Matthew Stafford-type numbers next year. Okay, all right. All right, so that's your 20 through 11. I'm going to go ahead and go through my 20 through 11. See, I'm coming at you from an executive standpoint, from a championship standpoint.

14:03 That's why I got the crisp white shirt. Business I'm all about business. You know what I'm saying? So that's where, maybe because he had to go to work today. No, I don't know. I don't know if that has anything to do with it All right, this is business. I'm an NFL executive, all right. So I'm going to give you my 20 through Watson as my number 20. All right, now he may have been. I don't know what's so funny about that. Anyway, espn has him at number 17, so I've got him just a little lower. Okay, so your number 20 and 19,. I don't have you don't have Bryce on your list. No, I don't have Bryce on my list, no I do not All right, all right, no.

14:45 No way on your list. no, I don't have bryce on my list. No, I do not all right. No, no way lost. No, how no, no I've got deshaun watson because he has a very high upside. So, again, we're talking about number 20, so we're talking about your second, third quarterback at this point. So I think deshaun has high value. Um, at some point he's gonna have to stay healthy and play, uh, an entire season. That guaranteed money is gonna run out at at some point I don't know he's what three, four years in how many more years does he have on his deal? he's gonna start thinking about the next deal, gonna have to start putting together a couple healthy seasons the um cleveland defense is loaded, they've got some weapons on offense, so all the the pieces are there for Deshaun to have a good year.

15:28 It's just about health. So at number 20, that's great value. So I've got Deshaun Watson at number 20. Number 19, this is another guy you don't have on your list. Again, high value. I've got Geno Smith from Seattle. Okay, espn has him at 25. I think that's really low just looking at his weapons who is he throwing to? You know what I mean he's throwing to that beast bryce young throwing to. He has some good weapons we have no idea who bryce is throwing to. So I just told you his top three receivers are all amazing and we don't know any of them yes, we do. No, we don't be serious. You don't know deontay johnson no top receiver adam th we don't. Are you serious? You don't know Deontay Johnson no Top receiver Adam Thielen, who's in the slot, and Xavier Leguette, the rookie no, no, I'm sorry, you're going to know them.

16:13 No, you're going to know them, no, geno. Smith, don't worry about it. Geno Smith is throwing touchdown, okay, and then he's also throwing who, who's that beast? Metcalf? He's throwing the metcalf, throwing the metcalf. So just those two alone. Um, last year he put up 3,624 yards through for 20 touchdowns, nine picks. So that that's solid at number 19. I got gino. 19, number 18. I have trevor lawrence have him there, that's right where espn has him as well. At 18 through for over 4 000 yards last year, 21 touchdowns, 14 picks. I feel he's going to have a better year this year.

16:54 Uh, as the jaguars put, uh, put it together, I believe they get into the playoffs and trevor's going to have a much better year. So 18, that's high value. Uh, you can get him definitely as your second qb number 17. I've got justin herbert, so I have him, I think 17. Yeah, wow, I've got, I've got her really low I've got. So again, he has no weapons to throw. To think they're going to run the ball a lot more with jim hallbaugh being there. They're going to rely on defense, they're going to win more games, they're going to be a better team, but I feel that, fantasy wise, I don't think he's going to put up a very big number. So that's why I have herbert. At 17 16, I've got kirk cousins.

17:35 So kirk cousins, he's going to connect with his receivers. Uh, he's on a mission to bounce back from that Achilles injury. They have a good team. They're in a weak division. So I feel Kirk puts up big numbers in the regular season. So Kirk is a very solid backup to have on your team this year. I think Kirk puts it together right now. Number 15, I've got Brock Purdy, I've got. Brock Ooh, that's pretty low. Yeah, I've got Brock Purdy. Yeah, ESPN has him at 11. But I got brock, that's pretty low. Yeah, I got brock purdy, get espn has him at 11 um. But everybody after this, I just think, can put up bigger numbers than brock bigger numbers yes, oh, absolutely. That team is loaded, so they they run the ball a lot. You've got mccaffrey getting his touches.

18:17 Um, they use the other receivers to run the ball. So purdy's the one throwing to him. Those numbers are his too. But a lot of those are handoffs. A lot of those are handoffs. So I think Purdy again. Purdy's a solid QB. Would love to have him on my roster. I just have him in 15, and everyone that I have 14 through 1, I think has a much higher upside fantasy-wise than Brock. So I may take him over some of these other other quarterbacks if I'm running my team. But as far as fantasy football numbers and the way that the 49ers are constructed, I think 15 is a great spot for for brock. So again, he had 4 280 yards last year, um 31 tds, 11 picks.

19:01 I think those numbers come down. I don't think he throws for as many touchdowns this year. I think they're going to run the ball a lot more and that's another reason why I have him at 15. Number 14, I've got Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers coming off that Achilles. If he stays upright, I think that's a good spot for him. If he stays upright, you can have even more value. Perhaps he starts many games for you, but I'd be leery taking him as my first quarterback. I would take him as a second. I would feel comfortable with that, aaron Rodgers. Number 13, I have Kyler Murray, again, like you said, coming off the injury. I feel that he's fully healthy this year. He has another weapon in Marvin Harrison Jr.

19:42 So I feel that he puts together a good year fantasy-wise. That's why I have him as 13. I wouldn't draft him as my starting quarterback, but I would draft him quickly as a second quarterback. I feel that he'll be a great backup for this year. Perhaps after this year, if he has a good year, maybe he can get back into starting fantasy territory. But I think right now he's a backup until we see otherwise. For yep, I've got him at number 12 and bryce is better I think he's going to have a big year. I think he's going to have a cj stroud type of a rookie season. He's got weapons to throw to with dj clark, with um.

20:24 The other guy that came out of um came from the chargers. What's my man's name? you don't even know his name. Come on, man, help me out. What's my god? Keenan allen, keenan allen, keenan alley's got him uh man, they're going to be strong and I like him as a backup, but um, he I think can have a cj stroud type of a season. So I have him at number 12 and number 11. Before I kick it back over to you, before I get into my top 10, I've got matthew stafford at number 11, matthew stafford. He put up 3965 yards last year, had 24 tds, 11 uh picks in 15 games, so if he played 16 or 17 games he would have broken the 4000 yard barrier.

21:08 He's got the receivers with puka, with um uh cup, so he definitely has the weapons. Feel that he puts up big numbers and I'd be fine with him being my starter. I I'd be okay with that. So I would definitely take him. Especially if you want to really stack up the rest of your roster and just get your quarterback after everybody else has gotten them, stafford should be there. I'd feel comfortable with him being my starting fantasy qb. As long as I have a loaded roster around him, I'd be fine with that, all right. All right, let me tell you something you said caleb williams is 12. Let me tell you something about first overall picks. Um, there's a lot of pressure with that comes with being the first overall pick.

21:49 Yeah, no matter how bad or good your roster is, um, it's just a lot. It's just a lot of pressure, especially with the Bears with their weapons on the team. There's going to be a lot of eyes on them this year to perform, and that's part of the reason why I think he's a little lower and there's still a lot of learning he has to do. All right, we're going to see. That's good analysis there. We're going to see do you know? So, okay, all right. All right, we're gonna see this. Good, good analysis there. We're gonna see. Well, we'll see if he can exceed the very low bar that, uh, bryce young, laid out there. We'll see if he can eyes were on bryce last year. Okay, all right, all right, man, let's give us, uh, give us your top 10, who you got all right, number 10. I'm starting off with cj stroud um.

22:31 Last year. He was about in this territory, despite how everyone's says he's a top five quarterback last year. That's what people are saying, but he was about the number 10th quarterback. He's eighth in yards, 13th in touchdowns, so he was about number 10 if you combine everything together and then I don't see a lot of improvement with cj. Because the um, because the pressure is up on him. This year, you know, last year there wasn't a lot of pressure on him. All the eyes were on bryce, um, cj. They just expected him to come in there, not play good and just whatever. But uh, he did play.

23:11 He did happen to get lucky and play good you see, look you, you okay taking all that out. You realized he got digs right. Yeah, realize that, don't you? and that's why I have him in the same. If he didn't have digs I would have. I would have him lower man but, I. I think he's gonna have about the same exact year. Hate, hate. No, I'm just saying there are a lot of eyes on them. They're expecting, expecting the texans to be in the playoffs and win a game. So you know there's a lot of expectations. That's why I have him. At this spot, Number nine, I have Jordan Love from the Packers. He put up great numbers last year. He was seventh in yards and second in TDs and with the receiving core the young receiving core that they had that receiving core has got another year of experience, so they're going to be better.

24:03 Jordan Love he hasn't got paid yet, so that's kind of messed up, so I think he's going to be pretty pumped for this year. I don't know if it's messed up. I mean he's put together one good year so I mean there were question marks of if he could even play for a while there. We didn't know if it's messed up. I mean okay, he's put together one good year. So I mean, if there were question marks of if he could even play for a while there, we didn't know. So okay, finally put together. You know, I guess he's not like he had any bad years like yeah, I mean there were some games that when, when he first came in for rogers he looked awful, it looked like like, yes, he did. So I mean again, yes, should he get paid? Yeah, but I don't think it's a tragedy. I don't think it's a tragedy for him to have to show one more year. I don't think that's a problem at all.

24:45 He's going to play great this year. So yeah, number eight, brock Purdy from the Niners. Let me tell you the numbers he had Fifth in passing yards, third in passing touchdowns. Those are some pretty legit numbers and got his team to the Super Bowl and played well in the playoffs and he has a stacked roster around him and a good coach. The only question I have about Purdy is that if Christian McCaffrey gets hurt, or Debo or Kittle gets hurt, one of those guys he may have a few get a game or two where he just happens to throw three interceptions and I happens to, and, but that's just one game, okay, and that and the other game is going to be great 300 yards, three TDs, but that game or two he's going to be great.

25:33 300 yards, three TDs, but that game or two he's going to be awful. So that's the thing I'm worried about with him. Well, the MVP of that team, trent Williams, is holding out for his money, and if he doesn't get his money, they're all going to be way worse. All right, brock Purdy is going to be great regardless. Okay, okay, number seven. I got Jared Goff on the Lions. He, okay, okay, number seven. I got Jared Goff on the Lions. He was second in yards last year and fourth in touchdowns. We all know the Lions are going to be slinging the ball all over the field with St Brown and the other speedy receivers they got on the team Laporte of the tight end, jameer Gibbs, can catch balls out the backfield, um, so he's gonna put.

26:17 He has great weapons around in the throw too and a lot of options detroit I think he went in the super bowl detroit whatever I'd have him not not suitable, they may get there. But I'm confident when it's my starting qb oh yeah, number. I got Dak Prescott on the Cowboys. He led the NFL in passing touchdowns last year and was third in yards. So, dak, I'm very confident with him. His fantasy numbers, he's always going to put up good numbers. I may be concerned about him a little late in the season when it's time for playoff time, but no, it's okay, he still puts up good numbers. The Cowboys may lose, but they're going to put up great.

26:59 He's going to put up solid numbers Starting QBA. We'll be in Big D next week, so we'll be doing our show. We're going to do the tight ends next week and we'll be doing that from Dallas. So we got to go down there and take a tour of uh jerry world and uh might even catch a rangers game. You know what I'm saying? Call the dodgers last week may catch the rangers next week, but stay tuned, for that is what we do anyway. Number five I have jalen hertz and the eagles. Uh, I like, I like him on my team. Steve, he's a good passing threat with the receivers. He has aj brown, davante smith, um, uh, what's the name? Dallas goddard his receivers are nice. He's also a rushing threat. He can rush for a lot of yards.

27:39 But the thing I'm concerned about him is interceptions. He threw over 15 interceptions last year, which is pretty concerning, but I think he'll fix that up this year. The coach was not his offensive coordinator, so that was a little tougher to deal with and the expectations of just being in the Super Bowl are gone. So yeah, I think he's going to have a solid year. Number four I have Joe Burrow. Last year he missed seven games with the injury calf injury, I think it was. But, he is back this year. Last year he was healthy. He was arguably the best qb in the league and I think hat number four.

28:22 He's a good. That's a good spot yeah all right. Number three I got lamar jackson reigning mvp. You know he's gonna throw for a ton of yards. Uh, can know for over a few tds. Got zay flowers, number one receiver. He's gonna be key to the team. You know he's gonna run for a lot of yards, that's what he does oh yeah. So yeah, confident with that, okay. Number two I got patrick mahomes. Um, he is well. Of course he's the best, best quarterback in the league, but I'm concerned with the Chiefs that they're going to blow a lot of teams out so he may not put up the best passing numbers each and every week. But, yeah, I'm definitely confident with Mahomes on my team.

29:05 He's going to show up late in the season, put up great numbers all year. So yeah, mahomes. Number one. I got Josh Allen. You know he can throw for 300 in the game, run for 100. He's going to throw for a bunch of TDs Beast, run for a bunch of TDs Beast. He's going to pick up a lot of points for you in fantasy. And he did throw for 18 interceptions last year. Yeah he did. That was pretty bad, but it's worth it, despite all the points he gets so yeah, he's a beast and he lost digs, but I don't think that's gonna hurt him as much as people think. Uh, he'll be able to spread the ball. I think he force fed the ball a little bit to digs, won't have to worry about doing that, and uh yeah, josh allen is a beast.

29:51 I've had him a few times and yeah, it's been great. Added Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman. Yeah. Okay, all right, man. Well, I'm going to give you my top 10, and then we're going to get on out of here. We got to get to this dinner for Gary Clark Foundation. So shout out to Gary Clark man. His fam are really excited about his events that he's put together. He started this foundation I was giving back to the community in Johnston County in North Carolina, which is where you know he's from and where we live right now. He's having a dinner tonight, then tomorrow he's having a giveaway. He's giving backpacks away to about 150 kids in the area giving free haircuts.

30:35 He's got a bunch of barbers on hand that'll be giving haircuts. He's got bounce house, got ice cream, you know food, just a really great event. And then we leave from that and we go to the golf tournament. So you're going to be dusting off the clubs and playing a little bit of golf and he'll have the golf tournament as well. So we've got three events here to uh run and attend in the next uh 24 hours here. So, uh, we got a lot, a lot coming up. A shout out to gary clark, uh, the homie professional basketball player out of uh clayton high school. All right, so top 10 right here, my number 10, I've got Jordan Love as my 10th quarterback.

31:16 Here my stats he put up 4,159 yards last year. Let me put my card over here 32 TDs, 11 picks solid year. Again, I don't have a problem with him playing one more year to get his money. He started last year off slow, so he had a lot of questionable games and then started off slow at the beginning of last year and then went on a tear and I think he's the real deal. I believe in him. But again, I'm not losing my mind that he hasn't gotten paid yet. I think he will get paid. As long as he just puts it together one more year, I think everything will be fine there. But I've got Jordan Love as my number 10 quarterback. Fine, with him being my starter, number nine man, and this is still a steal.

31:59 I think he is so, so valuable. I've got Tua. Got Tua number nine. Tua is a starting quarterback. If he's there you can probably get him later like six round. But then I would come right back and try to get another solid quarterback just in case he gets hurt. But Tua, come on. Man led the league in yards. You know he's got the weapons with Tyreek, with Waddle. You know his tight end. He's just a beast 29 TDs, 14 picks. He's the man, and Odell Beckham too. Yeah, although I think he was just put on the pup list so he's dealing with some injuries. But Odell is more for the locker room and for the playoffs. That's really what Odell is for.

32:41 Dak, I've got him at number eight. He's my number eight quarterback Again, you know, led the league in passing touchdowns just nine picks, 4,516 yards, put up huge numbers. You know they've got a lot going on with the contract situation with cd, with um, their um defensive player, and then now and also with dac, um feel that he puts up big numbers but um, he's definitely a starting qb. But even with dac, dac is one that if you draft him I would get a really good backup, just in case. Just in case, I think I would have him and then I would have it as a week to week situation between him and whoever.

33:23 Your good number two is just in case, with that Number seven. Like you, I've got Jared Goff. I think he is a high value guy. I have no problem with him being the starting QB on my fantasy squad. Put a 4,575 yards last year, 30 TDs, 12 picks. Detroit Lions I've got them winning the Super Bowl this year and Jared Goff has just been flinging that ball, throwing it with velocity, with confidence. Love the way he looks out there and really, really happy for him. So I've got golf at number seven. Number six I've got cj stroud, that's right cj stroud at number six almost top five, but not quite. Number six put up 4 108 yards last year as a rookie 23 tds 23 t, what?

34:10 okay, I don't know what that is. Td? Okay, that's not that. How many TDs did Bryce throw? Somewhere around that range. And just five picks, five interceptions, and for the longest time he didn't have any picks. Congratulations. And on top of all that, you're adding Diggs. You're adding Stephon Diggs. What about the Southmore slump? Oh, my goodness, the second year slip, not with. Diggs, not with Diggs being there. No, sir, southmore, slump, no, no, no. Second year MVP. Second year slip. So he's my number six. Now on to my top five. Number five I've got Jalen Hurts. Okay, and a lot of that really is because of the touchdowns that he's going to get from the tush push.

34:52 So he's at 3 858 yards last year, just 23 passing tds, 15 picks a lot, but he ran for 605 yards and had 15 rushing touchdowns my goodness, on top of that, and a lot of that, push a game. Yeah, man. So that's. I mean, that's a guarantee. You know, six, six points and then the, the yardage that he's going to get rushing, getting injuries, that that is a concern. That's why I have him at five and not higher with all those touchdowns. But I think five is is a good bet for Jalen Hurts. Number four I've got Lam lamar jackson.

35:40 He uh threw for 306, 3678 yards last year, had 24 tds, only seven picks. So did did not throw many picks, typically doesn't throw a lot of interceptions. Um ran for 821 yards, had five russian touchdowns. But I feel that having derrick henry in the in the backfield is going to help. And, um, I think they're going to be a more high-powered offense this year and I feel he's going to have even better numbers than he did last year and I feel that he's going to be a really good fantasy quarterback. So I have him, number four. Number three I'm going Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow, cincinnati Bengals man. Again he's been hurt but he's my favorite quarterback in the NFL. Love Joe Burrow.

36:21 Got great weapons to throw to. He's got Jamar Chase to throw to. Jamar hadn't gotten paid. He's going to be trying to put up monster numbers. Still has T Higgins. I think Joe. Burrow. He's got the Eminem look coming in. He's ready to ball and I think he puts up huge numbers. I'm going with Joe Burrow as my number three. Number two I've got Josh Allen. Josh Allen only because, again, I think he's still going to put up huge numbers and they're going to make the playoffs and have a great season. But not having Diggs, I'm going to drop them just to. I'm gonna have them at number two. I'm not gonna say drop them, I'm gonna keep them at number two. Uh, he threw for 4 306 yards last year, 29 tds again through the 18 picks.

37:07 Okay, that's a lot but, he rushed for 524 yards and he also rushed for 15 touchdowns as well. So that's just insane. So I've got josh allen as my number two, and my number one quarterback is a guy that I've never had number one because of the blowouts and all that. I've got patty mahomes as my number one qb this year for fantasy, because I don't think every game is going to be a blowout. I think the games are going to be much more competitive. He has a deep threat now that can stretch the field. He's going to fling the ball a lot more this year than he did last year, so I feel he's going to have more passing yards. Last year he threw for 4,183 yards without really any reliable targets 27 TDs, 14 picks.

37:55 I think those picks come way down. This year, those TDs go up and I believe this year I think he throws for 5,000. So I think he has a huge year. Got Patrick Mahomes as my number one fantasy QB. All right, that's the list, my man, yeah, yeah. So hey, we can't wait for fantasy. Next week we're going to give you our top tight ends. We'll dive into that. We may even combine it, so we'll see. But we'll definitely cover tight ends next week.
