| 0:00.0 | And we are on to Heath's bold predictions right now on Fantasy Football Today in five. |
| 0:08.5 | They'll have five for us on the full-length show on Wednesday morning on Fantasy Football today. |
| 0:13.5 | But for right now, how about we get just two nice bold predictions from Heath Cummings? |
| 0:17.6 | What do you want to start with? |
| 0:19.7 | Jaylon Hertz is going to be the number one quarterback in all of fantasy football. That's, has that bold enough for you? That's, you know, Jamie had the same one except Russell Wilson. So you'll go take Jaylen Hertz. Yeah. I think mine's obviously more bold since Jaylen Hurts has never been the number one quarterback in fantasy football and Russell Wilson has. So no, I just, the addition of A.J. Brown, it's funny because we always qualify this by saying, |
| 0:42.6 | we're not saying it's the same thing as Josh Allen, as if there's just no way that Jalen Hertz |
| 0:46.9 | could ever be as good as Josh Allen. |
| 0:49.8 | Jalen Hertz averaged more yards per attempt and had a better pass their rating each of his |
| 0:53.4 | first two years in the league than Josh Allen did. |
| 0:55.9 | So I do think he could make the type of leap as a passer that we saw from Josh Allen. |
| 1:00.9 | And he projects to be first or second in terms of rushing production as well. |
| 1:05.9 | You give him really an elite number one wide receiver. |
| 1:08.9 | I would say at least a very good number two wide receiver, one of the best tight ends in the game and the fact that he's going to run for 50 to 60 yards a game as well it's pretty awesome |
| 1:17.6 | yeah all right I'll give you the stat I gave out on the Tuesday morning show rossilson actually he did finish qb1 2017 he's the worst QB1 we've had in the last 11 years. |
| 1:30.0 | In those 11 seasons, every QB1 except Russell Wilson accounted for 40 touchdowns or more, |
| 1:37.1 | 42 or more and 6 point for passing touchdown leagues. |
| 1:39.8 | So that's probably going to be what it's going to take for Jalen Hertz. |
| 1:44.1 | What do you think, 40 touchdowns or 42 and 6 point? Well, he had 26 last year in like 14 to half games or 15 games. So, yeah, I mean, what was he on pace for a little over 30 last year? That type of jump happens from quarterbacks all the time. We saw that type of jump from Josh Allen. We saw it from Lamar Jackson. We saw it from Patrick Mahomes. So, yeah, actually, I guess we didn't see it from Mahomes because it was his first year as a starter. But, yeah, I think it's absolutely possible for him to have that type of leap. Any quarterback who finishes number one is most likely going to do something that is not projected. |
| 2:18.1 | Right, right. |
| 2:18.4 | That's just kind of what happens. |
| 2:19.7 | Right. |
| 2:19.9 | Exactly. |
