00:00Let's start off with the most valuable player award.

00:02It's a three-team race, basically, right?

00:05Three-player race, excuse me.

00:06Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow.

00:09We're not gonna pull the Joe Burrow card just yet.

00:11By the way, Joe Burrow is gonna add

00:13to his fantasy point total today.

00:14He's gonna be one of the few

00:15that we know that's gonna do that.

00:17But Lamar Jackson, his fantasy point season

00:20is at 411.4 fantasy points.

00:24Naturally, there's a chance we see some of Lamar Jackson

00:28coming up today at 430 Eastern,

00:30followed by Josh Allen, who we think is done for the year.

00:34He got 385 fantasy points.

00:37George, if you ask the average person

00:41who had the better year between these two,

00:44you ask 10 people who play fantasy football,

00:46I think you'd get six or seven that say,

00:48oh, Josh Allen definitely had a better fantasy season.

00:51He did not.

00:51It was actually Lamar Jackson who did.

00:54And it just goes to show you,

00:55I know Josh Allen's gonna win the MVP.

00:58And if Lamar had never won an MVP,

01:00I think he would win the MVP,

01:01but because he's won it before,

01:02they're gonna give it to somebody else.

01:03It's always the way that works.

01:05But clearly going into next year,

01:06you're gonna have to make a choice between one of these two.

01:09And I think these two, along with Jalen Hurts,

01:11are your top three fantasy quarterbacks

01:13going into next season.

01:14But I do think there's a huge distinction

01:16between this tier by itself with Jackson and Allen.

01:20And then I think Hurts may be in a tier by himself

01:23as the third best.

01:24And then a lot of other guys.

01:26Who do you want between these two, if you have your shot?

01:29Yeah, I pretty much agree with you about the rankings.

01:31Well, I think Jane Daniels is gonna make some,

01:34if Washington makes moves here,

01:36I think Jane Daniels is gonna be,

01:38another guy might be in a tier by himself, right behind Hurts.

01:40So Burrows in there as well,

01:42but we don't know where T. Higgins is gonna end up.

01:44And that'll certainly hurt.

01:45I agree with you about your assessment, by the way.

01:47Josh Allen's gonna win MVP,

01:49even though Lamar Jackson's numbers

01:50are better across the board, pretty much.

01:53So he actually has been technically the better quarterback,

01:56but it's gonna be Josh Allen

01:57because he hasn't won the award yet.

01:58And that is how they vote for it.

02:00I mean, let's face it.

02:02If I had a choice between these two,

02:04and I don't think I'm going to have one,

02:06I played a bunch of super flex leagues,

02:07but I don't have the first pick in any of those.

02:09I know where I'm picking already.

02:12I'm probably going with Lamar Jackson.

02:14He's become a better passer

02:16over the past couple of years, right?

02:18And I get a little bit worried.

02:21Baltimore has a history of,

02:22they don't help the passing game all that much.

02:25It's not their free agency here.

02:26Mark Andrews is getting old.

02:27I don't know how much more we can rely on him.

02:29Sort of got lucky the second half of the season.

02:31Derrick Henry does steal those touchdowns now.

02:33So that's an issue as well here.

02:36I don't think you can go wrong with either one here,

02:37but right now, I am going with Lamar Jackson,

02:40one, Josh Allen, two.

02:43Okay.

02:44Look, I don't think anybody would argue with either side.
