00:02 All right, let's go back to fantasy for a minute.
00:04 By the way, over at Sporting News,
00:05 Vinny does a full preview of fantasy and you can catch me and
00:07 Davis Maddox Saturday mornings for fantasy sports today.
00:11 We'll have our season preview draft coming up this Saturday morning ahead of
00:15 Labor Day weekend.
00:15 And one of the players my co-host and he last year liked a lot was Albert O,
00:19 the tight end on the Denver Broncos.
00:21 And he was such a massive, massive bust.
00:24 He went from sleeper to bust within like three weeks.
00:27 Very curious here.
00:29 He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:33 And look, Dallas Goddard has been a model of consistently, but
00:37 also has missed time through the years, Vinny.
00:40 Is he back on the sleeper list again?
00:42 >> Yeah, he's definitely someone to watch if there's a Dallas Goddard injury.
00:46 I mean, Goddard kind of plays rough and tumble.
00:49 He does like the George Kittle over in the middle of the field sometimes and
00:52 takes a lot of hits.
00:53 So he's always a threat to miss some time here because of the way he plays.
00:57 He just goes full bore all the time.
00:59 So they realized they needed to have a better backup.
01:02 Sean Payton, we know, is trying to eliminate anybody that was there in this
01:06 offense before he got there as much as possible.
01:09 So he's brought his own guys, including Adam Troutman and Marques Calloway,
01:13 to Denver, so he wanted to move a guy.
01:15 And it's funny because Sean Payton,
01:17 the last thing he said was raving about Albert O's catch in the preseason.
01:22 So they liked him, but
01:23 they maybe talked him up to make this deal with the Eagles.
01:26 So we'll watch Albert O.
01:27 I don't believe in tight end handcuffs, I don't know if anybody does.
01:31 But if you're gonna look for someone that could plug and
01:33 play there if the starter goes down, I think we've seen that with Ross Duelly,
01:38 to some degree, with the 49ers in the past with George Kittle.
01:42 You can have that from Albert O, I think, in this offense,
01:44 cuz it's just so good, right?
01:46 I mean, he's gonna be the third target immediately should he get in there and
01:49 play for Goddard.
