00:00and I'll see you next time.

00:05Lamar just doesn't get enough credit, man.

00:06Another MVP.

00:07I'm wondering how many MVPs does he have to win

00:09before people start, you know,

00:11really chasing him in fantasy at this point?

00:13And I know in single quarterback leagues,

00:15there's still value on the board.

00:17But the nice thing about Lamar is,

00:18there's like a flare that goes up

00:19in every single draft, right?

00:21The Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts flare,

00:24where you know that pretty soon after, okay,

00:26this is the quarterback run.

00:28This is when it's going to happen.

00:29Usually sitting there is the fourth guy off that board.

00:31And that's a pretty good investment.

00:32Do I like Richardson, Joe Burrow,

00:34and those guys are going after, sure.

00:36But Lamar is a little bit safer

00:38at this point than those guys.

00:39So it's something to keep in mind.

00:40And, you know, Lamar Jackson's ability

00:42to rush for an enormous total to still score touchdowns,

00:45even with Derrick Henry now there,

00:46who, by the way, another guy not getting enough respect.

00:49I don't care that he's 30 years old.

00:51Derrick Henry is built different.

00:52He is now going to a team

00:54where he is going to get a ton of work

00:57in a much-improved offensive line,

00:59a much-improved offensive,

01:00a team that ran the football

01:01more than anybody else last year.

01:02So why should we not love Derrick Henry this year

01:04one more time in the sun?

01:05I don't know why. I don't get it.

01:07For the last five years, he finished as a top-five RB.

01:10And the one year he didn't, he was still RB8.

01:13And he, I'm sorry, he was RB16 and only played eight games

01:16because he got hurt that year and missed half the season.

01:18Just let that sink in. He was so good.

01:20He was still RB16 with half a season.

01:22So I'm loving Derrick Henry this year.

01:24The tough part with the Ravens

01:26is looking at that wide receiver core, too.

01:28Andrew's a little injury-prone the last couple years,

01:30a little concerned with him at the tight end spot.

01:32Zay Flowers, another one, too.

01:34Can he get more consistency?

01:36Perhaps. We can hope that that finds him.

01:38And on the Eagles side, too, I think this is going to be

01:39really interesting because you want to see

01:40what this offense looks like.

01:42Shane Sikand left last year.

01:44You saw what happened in terms of that offensive coordinator.

01:47Not really getting in a flow with everybody.

01:49And I think that now you're hoping that

01:51A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts,

01:53everybody can get on the same page here

01:55and bounce back after a disappointing season

01:57for the Eagles.
