00:00 A lot of people, the draft is settled, right?

00:05 So before we get to some rookie stuff, which we will in the next segment, I want to talk

00:08 about some best ball stuff too, because everybody's already looking right now, looking at the

00:12 best ball market, trying to get some early values there, but some guys are already moving

00:16 well up there.

00:18 And one of them is Anthony Richardson.

00:20 I just finished his profile in the upcoming black book for 2024 for NFL.

00:26 And I am aggressive.

00:28 I'm one of these people that's going to ruin the Anthony Richardson ADP.

00:32 And the reason I'm going to ruin it is because a few reasons.

00:34 The first is because I really believe in Shane Steichen.

00:37 I think he's one of the best young offensive coaches that the league has seen in a long

00:40 time.

00:41 You saw what he did a few years ago when he took that Eagles team along with him to the

00:44 Super Bowl.

00:45 That was the offense that got to the Super Bowl.

00:47 It was the Shane Steichen offense.

00:49 When he left and took his ball to Indianapolis, you saw things fall off a map dramatically

00:53 for the Eagles last year.

00:55 You saw a glimpse of the greatness that could be Anthony Richardson.

00:59 The characters off the charts, the skill sets off the charts, the measurables are off the

01:04 charts.

01:05 He's as big as a linebacker, throws the ball 70 yards downfield, and he's as fast as a

01:09 running back.

01:10 Like, it's just, you should not have a human being who could do all this.

01:13 The trouble is he's still pretty green at the quarterback position, but that's okay

01:16 in fantasy.

01:17 And the reason that's okay is because of the points he gets with his legs and the rushing

01:21 equity, the rushing touchdown equity he brings.

01:23 I want to give you a perspective here too.

01:25 So we obviously know that, you know, his season ended shortly last year.

01:28 He only played a few weeks, but when he did play in two of those three full games that

01:34 he played, he finished as QB four and QB two.

01:37 So in week one, he had 29 points.

01:39 That was good enough there.

01:41 And the week before that, excuse me, week one, he had 21 points, week four, 29 points.

01:47 That's not good.

01:48 That's great.

01:49 That's a guy that's going to win you your week.

01:51 And in best ball drafts, having the upside of him, and then later being able to take

01:54 another quarterback that, you know, you could just kind of take the boring Baker Mayfields

01:58 of the world.

01:59 We're going to be league average or maybe slightly better.

02:01 That works for me.

02:02 So Anthony Richardson already moving up draft boards in best ball and in early drafts already

02:07 and dynasty startups and things like that for a reason.

02:10 And I think it, you should be bullish on Anthony Richardson at this point.
