| 0:00.0 | Six quarterbacks to break down in five minutes right now on fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:08.9 | Adam Azor and Jamie Eisenberg. We're talking about the 2021 rookie quarterback class. |
| 0:13.8 | Okay, we're going to do it the way they were drafted. IRL in the NFL draft. Jamie, Trevor |
| 0:18.9 | Lawrence, go. Very hopeful that this offseason will be good for him, that they improved the |
| 0:24.0 | offensive line and the receiving court in Jacksonville in some capacity with at least one |
| 0:28.8 | high-level player at each position line and receiving core, and that we can see the best of |
| 0:33.6 | Trevor Lawrence because the offensive line was a disaster, the receiving core was a disaster, and as a result, he was a disaster. So still a lot to love about his fantasy potential, |
| 0:42.5 | but unless they really help him significantly this offseason, it's going to be hard to draft |
| 0:46.2 | him as a starter and might be even hard to draft him as a high-end reserve. |
| 0:50.0 | Zach Wilson? |
| 0:51.9 | Kind of the same situation. You know, we'd like to see what this Jets offense looks like when everybody's healthy with the offensive line, as well as, you know, getting Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Michael Carter, all in the field at the same time. So still a long way to go to see what Zach Wilson can become. But you see the potential. I mean, you certainly see the arm talent. You see what he can do getting out of the pocket. I don't know if they'll ever be a top-tier rusher, |
| 1:11.8 | probably the same thing with Trevor Lawrence, although Lawrence's numbers in college kind of suggest he can run a little bit. But Zach Wilson, I think, probably has the most room to go to be a good fantasy quarterback. I just hope he gets there because certainly the investment from the Jets as the number two overall pick, had a lot of fancy managers excited, |
| 1:27.3 | and we just need to see a lot more going into year two. |
| 1:29.8 | Trey Lance. |
| 1:31.2 | Probably the highest ceiling of all these guys. You know, you just look at what he has at his disposal. You know, obviously a great play caller and Kyle Shanahan, great offense around him when you talk about Debo Samuel, George Kittle, Brandon Ayuk, strong run game, strong offensive line, good defense, going to put him in a lot of great spots. |
| 1:47.8 | We know that he has the rushing ability and just, you know, a huge potential to be maybe a starting fantasy quarterback as early as year two. |
| 1:55.4 | So he's going to be the guy that I draft first of these guys. |
| 1:58.4 | If I'm looking at it, Justin Fields is a close second. |
| 2:01.2 | But clearly, Trey Lance has the highest ceiling of all these guys if things click for him and hopefully it clicks in 2020. All right. Justin Fields. Right behind him, you know, a guy that's in a great situation as well. I think if you just look at, can the bears add to their receiving core? You know, we like Darno Mooney. We like Colquimette. obviously David Montgomery maybe three Cohen you know those those are some good |
| 2:20.2 | weapons to start with and I think an offensive the Bears add to their receiving core. You know, we like Darno Mooney. We like Colquemette. Obviously, David Montgomery, maybe three Cohen. |
| 2:18.8 | You know, those are some good weapons to start with. And I think an offensive line that's going to continue to improve after what we saw in the 2021 campaign. They invested a lot in that spot. And certainly we saw some of the growth there. But Justin Fields has got to stay healthy. he's got a I think we're on a little bit more to help fantasy, but I think the bears have to help him by giving him at least something of an upgrade of what they thought maybe Allen Robinson would be or, you know, something better going into year two for him. But for me, Lance and Fields are one in one A. I have them ranked 12th and 13th Lance ahead. You know, if you go back to our rankings dispute, those are the two guys ahead of |
| 2:51.3 | Russell Wilson right now. |
