Well, Jamie's old, so he's here to talk about old people

on FFT Express.

What's up, old man? How's it going? It's going well. Thank you. Appreciate it. You wrote about veteran sleepers for 2025. Let's talk about some of your favorites. Who do you want to kick it off with? Oh, my favorites. We can start in Jacksonville with Tammy Brown. You know, some of these are not necessarily older, older players, but, you know, guys that have been around a couple years and, you know, looking at their, mostly their draft value. So I like the situation in Jacksonville. You know, I think we're going to see, you know, more pass-happy offense with Liam Cohen there. And, you know, Brown is somebody that's earned a lot of rave reviews so far. He was kind of the, uh, the catalyst for this story, you know, just seeing how things have gone for him so far in the early part of camp. And looking at maybe Travis Hunter spends a little bit more time on defense. And as we saw last year in the case of the bucks, you know, a lot of people like to make the correlation when a new coach comes in. What can happen in this offense? Well, last year, we saw Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both go down, Godwin for the majority of the season after hurting his ankle in week seven. And lo and behold, Jaylen Mcmillan, who was a good rookie prospect coming in, wasn't an elite rookie prospect, scored seven touchdowns in his final five games, you know, and was very productive in this offense. So there could be an opportunity if there's any time miss for, you know, either Thomas or Brown to, excuse me, Thomas or Hunter for Brown to step up. So the setup is there for him, I think, to have maybe a season that could surprise some people and give you some production on stretch. Yeah. And look, we're not talking about him winning you, your league, talking about deeper leagues maybe or just somewhat to keep an eye on. Layton drafts are on the waiver wire. So Diami Brown was one of those guys. Give me someone else. So somebody who fit in this category last year and, you know, can certainly do it again, is Zachertz. We saw the way that he performed as the starting tight end. I was very excited about Ben Sennett last year and, you know, maybe having a productive rookie season. And not only did Ertz keep him off the field, they resigned Ertz and brought him back. And so Senate may not see the field to a level that is going to make him, you know, productive at all in Dynasty leagues, but, you know, not somebody to look at in redraft leagues barring injury. And the addition of Devo Samuel is going to be a problem for Ertz, but I think just looking at the way that Jayden Daniels leaned on Earth, how he performed. And again, his draft cost, you know, he's so cheap. He's one of these, you know, late-round guys.

2:51.2

Dave was talking about how he likes late-round tight ends. You know, you can make a case that what Tucker Kraft did last year and all the excitement for him, Zach Ertz was just at the same level, if not better at times. So an easy late-round, you know, pick to take if you're inclined to take two tight ends or certainly if you wait in the position,

3:08.2

hopefully it'll still be productive.

3:10.4

Let's get one more in before the break. easy late-round pick to take if you're inclined to take two tight ends or certainly if you wait

3:07.6

in the position, hopefully it'll still be productive.

3:10.3

Let's get one more in before the break.

3:13.2

So let's go to someone who could be an annoyance for some of the younger players on this team,

3:19.7

one guy that you like in particular, but being reunited with his quarterback, and that's Mike

Williams.

Oh, I thought you were going to get someone else. Yes, I love this call. I really,
