Let's talk more free agency as the moves keep on coming here on fantasy football today in five.

0:12.3

Adam and Jamie.

0:13.2

Okay, Jamie, we got Derek Henry going to the Baltimore Ravens, and we talked a lot about where you take him and what you think his ADP will be.

0:20.5

So in a PPR league, where do you think his ADP will be. So in a in a

0:21.5

PPR league, where do you think Derek Henry's average draft position will be? And when would you

0:26.7

draft him? I think his ADP will end up being in round two. You know, I know that sounds probably

0:31.2

aggressive, but I think people will still look at the situation, his production, the potential

0:36.8

of what he can be in Baltimore,

0:38.9

playing alongside Lamar Jackson, and get excited about that. And I totally get it. You know,

0:42.2

it's a upgraded scenario for him from where he was in Tennessee behind that offensive line with

0:47.1

the quarterback situation he had there. We said this a lot last year, wins versus losses,

0:52.2

trailing versus playing with the lead. The Ravens are typically going to be one of the better teams when everybody's healthy, and I would anticipate that being the case. So I think people will get excited about Derek Henry and probably reach for him in round two. Maybe his ADP settles in round three. For me, I'll be looking for him at the earliest, the very, very earliest be the middle to the end of round three, but I would prefer to draft him in round four, and I do not think he will get there. And how much better do you think he is than Joe Mixon, who goes to the Texans? I think he's better from the standpoint of he'll score more touchdowns and have more rushing yards, and that will offset probably the reception total that Mixon has. But Mixon ended up in a great spot. You know, I mean, the Texans got great production out of Devon Singletary last year when they committed to him as their guy. It's an offense that's on the rise. You have a great offensive coordinator and Bobby Sloat, clearly a quarterback that's going to hopefully continue to improve as we saw from a tremendous rookie season in C.J. Stroud. So I couldn't be happier for mixing situation based on what happened to him being released by Cincinnati,

1:47.0

which was more of a cost situation as opposed to, I think, performance because he did perform well for them last year. You know, you can talk about the advanced metrics, but, you know, given Joe Burroughs situation and how things unfolded there, I thought he did an admirable job. And so ending up with the Texans, I don't anticipate them bringing in significant competition even if they do. And so I think mixing ended up in a good spot. So those guys will almost be back to back and I have no problem taking mixing ahead of Henry if that's how it works up. What's your reaction to Deontay Johnson getting traded to Carolina? It's a good situation for him if things improved for Bryce Young. You know, I think Dave Canal is coming there as the head coach will make things better for this offense, upgraded the offensive line. But obviously Bryce Young was pretty bad last year. That being said, he did get some very good numbers out of Adam Thielen. And clearly Deonti Johnson, a younger, hopefully better version of Adam Thielen from just what, you know, from a production standpoint. You know, and so we'll see how this receiving core finally shakes out, uh, if they're done, adding to it. I don't think that they are, because I don't know if Jonathan Mingo is going to, you know, become something of significance. I hope he does, but I'm just not very optimistic there. So feeling at his age, Deonti Johnson has a stop gap. I, I would not be surprised if when they get to their second round, because

2:51.6

we know they lost their first round pick, that they look at wide receiver and hopefully

2:54.6

upgrade the position from a long-term standpoint for Bryce Young's sake. But I think Deontad

3:00.3

Johnson is still firmly entrenched as a number three fantasy receiver and probably still better

3:04.2

in PPR than none. All right. It's been a very busy week.

3:09.0

And I wonder if anything has changed at the top for you.

3:13.1

And what I mean by that is if you look at these running backs, we talked about it on our

3:16.9

full length show, that it seems like we are not as excited, the CBS analysts, not as excited

3:24.1

about these running backs who are changing

3:25.4

teams as the rest of the fantasy population is.
