00:00All right, our comeback player of the year.

00:01I say our because I think George and I may see the same here.

00:04I peaked a little bit.

00:05Sorry, guys.

00:06J.K. Dobbins is the comeback player of the year.

00:09It was just the best choice, George.

00:10I mean, you and I fought the same here on this one.

00:13He had nine touchdowns, 905 yards, 153 receiving yards.

00:18He was the bona fide comeback player of the year

00:21halfway through the season, and then unfortunately got hurt.

00:24He was never the same.

00:25Let's just be honest.

00:25He wasn't.

00:26Hopefully, he can get back to being

00:29who he was in the beginning of the season next year.

00:33But George, I'll be skeptical.

00:34I'm just being honest.

00:35I will probably be skeptical of this,

00:37just because unfortunately for him,

00:38and you don't want to ever say this about somebody

00:40at roof room, but he's just been severely injury prone.

00:43But if you drafted him, you got a lot more

00:47than you could have asked for.

00:48The yards, maybe not as much, but nine touchdowns.

00:50That's a pretty big number for a running back these days.

00:55Listen, he's had a lot of injuries in his career.

00:57It was good to see him come back and have a good 2 3rds

01:01of the season, 3 quarters.

01:02I mean, I know I had him in a couple of leagues.

01:03He was great for me.

01:04So glad to have him, especially as late as I got him.

01:08This award, I thought, was one of the toughest ones, Craig,

01:10because he was the standout guy.

01:12I mean, I know people, Sam Donald,

01:15what did he come back from?

01:16Being on a bad team?

01:18I mean, Joe Burrow, okay, he came back from a thumb injury

01:21that cost him a couple of games last year, really?

01:25That's the guys you want to vote for here?

01:25No, I need guys who are a little bigger injuries than that.

01:29So I think he was sort of the, to me, the easiest choice.

01:31I didn't think it was anybody else, so I took J.K. Dobbins.

01:36I hope he can come back again, although like you, Craig,

01:39I kind of have my doubts.

01:41Yeah, I would agree.

01:42And probably on my, not on my not draft list,

01:45but by my skeptical list, I guess that's fair.

01:48Okay, so I do have a no draft list for this guy.

01:53I'm sorry to say, and by the way,

01:55I know he had a big catch in the game against Philly,

01:57but George, even the first half of that game

02:00between the Rams and Eagles,

02:02I don't know what his contract situation is.

02:04I probably should have checked before the show,

02:05but Cooper Cup, would you touch this guy next season, George?

02:09I mean, I know he got a hundred targets,

02:11but this is not a high percentage of catches for targets.

02:1367, 710 yards and six touchdowns.

02:17There are folks are going to look at this

02:18that didn't draft Cooper Cup next season and go,

02:21oh, you know, maybe he'll better.

02:23I don't think so, man, George.

02:24I think, gosh, end of the line, is that extreme with him?

02:30Maybe, but his best seasons are behind him, George.

02:34Nakua is the guy there.

02:35I could see them easily replacing him

02:37with Demarcus Robinson or even someone else.

02:40I'm not sure what went on with Cup,

02:43but he did not catch the 75% of his 100 targets.

02:48And he had some zeros in fantasy, man.

02:51To me, he's a big flop.

02:53Oh, he's definitely, I don't think he's the biggest flop,

02:55but he's a big flop, yeah.

02:57I wonder, Craig, he's another guy

02:59that's been hurt a lot throughout his career.

03:01Has it just caught up to him?

03:03Yeah, is he not going to be that guy anymore?

03:05I think if you're an optimist,

03:06your best case scenario is that he's hurt now,

03:08and then he'll recover during the off season

03:09and beat Cooper Cup again.

03:11I think that's an optimist viewpoint,

03:12because I think it's a combination of both.

03:14I think if all the time has caught up to him,

03:16I think the injuries are getting to him,

03:18but I think he'll be better next year,

03:20but I'll be very wary.

03:23He's a guy I'll be, if I'm drafting,

03:24oh, Craig took Cup, good, let Craig have him.

03:26You know, I don't have to worry about it.

03:28You know, that's why, because he's a guy,

03:30I don't want three Cooper Cups on my team,

03:32because you're going to eat it.

03:33You're going to eat it here.

03:34I chose Tyreek Yelp.

03:35He was, Craig, he was the guy I was touting

03:38as the number one overall pick this year,

03:40and that didn't go well at all, okay?

03:44Yeah, I plotted it was because two had got hurt,

03:45no doubt, but even with two was healthy,

03:48the numbers weren't there,

03:49and if two can't take seven step drops anymore,

03:51because they want to protect them from the concussions,

03:53and he wants out, or he doesn't want out,

03:55this is a mess here.

03:56So I have Tyreek Hill as my flop here.

03:58That didn't, I wish I could take that pick back.
