00:00Offensive player of the year?

00:02That bucket's really big.

00:06Defensive player, I think, is really small.

00:08Offensive player is more fun, though.

00:10I feel like defensive's usually the least fun.

00:12And defensive rookie, we just don't know enough

00:14to be able to have an intelligent conversation.

00:16And offensive rookie, it's just

00:18talk yourself into any of the quarterbacks

00:20or Marvin Harrison Jr.

00:22or somebody else, and you're not going to know

00:24until we play some games and we know that

00:26C.J. Stroud's transcendent and Bryce Young isn't

00:28and all these things.

00:30Defense, I think it's

00:32maybe five, and I'd

00:34be really confident I had it, but

00:36maybe less. Offense,

00:38I don't know. The bucket's got to be huge.

00:40Even if you can try

00:42to narrow it down, and I

00:44have some ways that I can do that that I think are pretty smart,

00:46but

00:48you're just still left with at least

00:50even your top-tier guys, you're going to have

00:52ten?

00:54Maybe something like that? Eight?

00:56Maybe something in that zone?

00:58So the one thing I was thinking

01:00about, so I think there are a few that I would

01:02cross. So you're looking for

01:04record-setting performances, right?

01:06Someone capable of that, but I don't

01:08even mean capable, because Mahomes is capable,

01:10but do I think this is the year where he breaks his

01:12old records? No.

01:14I just kind of don't think that's going to happen.

01:16So yes, he's on the list of can do it,

01:18I just, meh. It'd be interesting

01:20what Josh Allen's season

01:22looks like. Is it

01:24you know, maybe they don't

01:26run him a lot, which is going to probably be problematic,

01:28but they want to save him for the postseason,

01:30but he could have kind of that

01:32two-way season with a ton of combined

01:34touchdowns, and you know,

01:36like their digs is gone, so like he's

01:38getting 100 absolute percent

01:40of the credit for everything. I don't

01:42think so, but I think these are kind of

01:44names that I wonder if hurts. It seems unlikely

01:46on Allen, right?

01:48Yes. I think he had 15

01:50rushing touchdowns last year, like probably

01:52not going to happen again, and look like

01:54we, I think both of us, and a lot of people also,

01:56you probably watching, listening,

01:58like Stefan Diggs is more on the downside of

02:00his career, but like Stefan Diggs is still really good,

02:02and now it's, here's Curtis Samuel and

02:04Khalil Shakir. I am warming up to the

02:06idea of Keon Coleman being like Calvin

02:08Benjamin, like Benjamin early on

02:10in his career for the Bills. I'm warming up

02:12to that a little bit, but it's like facts

02:14not in evidence. Like Dalton, like

02:16Jamie Eisenberg's on with us the other day, and Jamie's like

02:18from a fantasy perspective, like Dalton

02:20Kincaid's going to be a monster, like

02:22why? Like why is he

02:24going to be like so good in real life this year?

02:26So look, Allen's great, also

02:28you know, a little bit of facts not

02:30in evidence for me with Josh Allen, like

02:32doing that this year. He's obviously still

02:34great.
