What is up? It's up. It's the rant. My name is Jeff Radcliffe. It is Friday, July 10th.

0:19.0

And I think we're, we got to be around the halfway point. I'm not actually keeping track of how many teams we've covered so far.

0:26.0

Yeah, we're at we got to be at the halfway point and the series is rolling on as you can see.

0:32.0

We're to talk about the Las Vegas Raiders and the Miami Dolphins on today's show.

0:38.4

So let's dive right in. Knock on wood if you're with me here, we'll talk about these Raiders.

0:44.0

The Las Vegas Raiders, still getting used to that one, but either way, very interesting this team, especially after last year, they exceeded expectation, for sure.

0:58.8

And I think they really improved themselves with what they did in the draft adding some talent at wide receiver

1:06.2

which was this you know an area that they needed to address and then getting a versatile weapon and

1:10.4

Lynn Bowden who is just you know very intriguing player for a number of reasons but let's just start with Derek Carr

1:18.0

we'll start with the unsexy part of this offense and you know to his credit when you look at what Derek Carr has been able to do I mean 4,000 plus

1:28.6

He's generally right in that area. He just cracked it last year year you know 21 passing scores he ends up

1:34.8

finishing as the number 16 fantasy quarterback number 18 the year before that I'm just

1:40.7

not willing to rank him in that range because you know I've talked about if you go back to the Cleveland Browns podcast

1:47.6

About Jarvis Landry sure Jarvis Landry ranks in that range, but I'm just not or finishes in that range but I'm not willing to rank him as high because his ceiling just isn't that high.

1:58.5

It's the same thing with Derek Carr. You're just talking about a very low ceiling, very low upside with him.

2:05.0

So I'm not going to rank him inside the top 24 for example, but that being said,

2:12.0

recently in a two-quarterback, or actually it was a

2:15.1

Super Flex League, but I just treat them the same two-quarterback, super-flex, the exact same for

2:18.7

me. I did take Derek Carr as my third quarterback. The position was drying up a little bit and I feel like I've gone the Tua or Justin Herbert route a few too many times, so I took Carr in that league just to sort of diversify things a little bit with my

2:33.8

rosters and I don't mind to measure third quarterback in a super flex or a two

2:38.4

quarterback league and part of it is who they added.

2:43.4

You know, I think it's really interesting with Henry Rugs, like we know he's fast.
