00:00It's the same thing when you're talking about Indianapolis as well.
00:05You outlined how a certain player on that team is unique to the game, and if the game
00:10is broken, we have to find a way to wager upon that, Joe.
00:15Yeah.
00:16And Anthony Richardson, who we just kind of highlighted, I want to look at the projections
00:18for him to kind of highlight those upside numbers that could be there.
00:23So here's coming from fantasy pros, again, QB six off the board, ECR QB five, he's right
00:29around there.
00:30Him and Stroud are kind of neck and neck.
00:31Joe Burrow in that range as well.
00:32Usually it's Mahomes, it's Allen, it's Jalen Hurts, it's Lamar Jackson, and then the Richardson
00:38conversation.
00:39Now, the good news is if you're a single quarterback league, you're going to have that flare go
00:43up when quarterbacks start going off, right?
00:47And you know, okay, this is when I have to pay attention to, do I want to get an elite
00:51quarterback?
00:52And if Mahomes goes, Allen goes, you see that you can wait it out, wait it out, and then
00:57you can take Lamar Jackson.
00:58If Lamar Jackson doesn't make it to you, Anthony Richardson is really interesting because then
01:02you have a shot at all the same upside as those other guys.
01:06And probably with Saquon Barkley there now in Philadelphia and Jason Kelsey gone, I don't
01:11know if you're going to have 15 rushing touchdowns again for Jalen Hurts.
01:15If you're looking at a guy who could have double digit 10 or 12 rushing touchdowns,
01:20to me, that guy is Anthony Richardson.
01:22He's projected for eight and 646 rushing yards.
01:25I think he can go well over 700 rushing yards this year, and I think he can go well over
01:29double digit touchdowns.
01:30I think he's that guy.
01:32And he is so much bigger than a lot of these other quarterbacks that physically he's just
01:37a lot to handle at the goal line.
01:39So I think he's going to get a ton of opportunities there.
01:42The 15 from Allen and the 15 from Jalen Hurts, those rushing touchdowns, I think they both
01:46come back down to earth this year, I really do.
01:49You look at their historical totals, they're much closer to that eight or nine range.
01:53If they are closer to that eight or nine range, and Anthony Richardson just hits his floor,
01:58guess what?
01:59They're going to be really close in points.
02:00So wait for the Hurts, wait for the Allen, take the shot on Richardson, or just wait
02:05on quarterback and take guys like Jordan Love a little later.
02:07I think that's the way to look at it.
02:09But I think the upside for Anthony Richardson is undeniable, and he is a lottery ticket
02:13that can win you the league because you can continue for another round to take wide receivers.
02:19And then that next round coming back to you, take Anthony Richardson.
02:22Let that quarterback run happen and then get it on that next tier where Richardson goes.
02:26And I think you have a really good situation where you're giving yourself that one more
02:29wide receiver, two or three on your roster.
02:32Next thing you know, you have a quarterback just as good as all those quarterbacks potentially
02:36that just went around or even two earlier.
