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.
