Atlanta's Fantasy Football Outlook: Kirk Cousins & Rising Stars

00:00If so, let's go to Atlanta, the Atlanta Falcons, a team that I wanted so badly to invest in
00:10the last few years. I still invested in B. John Robinson last year. Cause I thought Arthur
00:14Smith wasn't possibly silly enough to not just give him the ball. I don't know, 25 times
00:19a game and walk away. Apparently I was wrong about that. But Arthur Smith is gone now.
00:25That was all the ridiculously bad quarterback play in theory, because Kirk cousins comes
00:30to town with his sensible shoes and his khakis and his Cole's cash. He is walking into Atlanta
00:36and finally ready to make Drake London, Kyle Pitts and B. John Robinson fantasy stars.
00:43And yes, there's buzz around it. And yeah, Drake London's ADP is a little high. He's
00:48a 13th wide receiver going off the board. And I'm at peace with that because Drake London
00:53is going to get the lion's share of those targets. B. John Robinson. We've already
00:57heard the coaching staff said, we're going to feed B. John Robinson. That's our plan
01:00for this offense. Good, good. We should be doing that. And if you think that Kirk cousins
01:05can't make Kyle Pitts a star, you're wrong. Take a look at what happened just the last
01:11two years with TJ Hawkinson in Minnesota. TJ Hawkinson was a fantasy rock star. And
01:15I think Kyle Pitts already year over year, that values held. It shouldn't, it should
01:20be higher than he is overall in ADP. It's still sitting there. Why? Because people got
01:25hurt the last couple of years, instead of listening to shows like this, where we told
01:29you Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ritter, aren't going to make fantasy superstars out of anybody.
01:33Talent matters. The ecosystem where that talent lives matters more. And Drake London has an
01:38opportunity this year, Matt, to go over a hundred catches, to go over 1200 yards, to
01:43look like a guy who could get eight to 10 touchdowns. Drake London is a player that
01:47I want. And these big wide receiver build teams that I do, it's a player that I need.
01:52So let me ask you now, before we zoom in on a player, you really want to focus upon here
01:56as a manager that drafted Darnell Mooney several times over the last few seasons and constantly
02:02regretted it. Should I go back to that? Well, do you think there's anything there?
02:06I don't, I know Mooney and Rondell Moore out there, you know, just kind of like we discussed
02:10earlier with Arizona. I think those guys maybe have some fill in moments. To me, it's a very
02:16simple funnel. And that's what I like about both of these teams. It's Drake London, Kyle
02:20Pitts, it's Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride. You know where the ball is going to take advantage
02:26of that. And then B. John Robinson, who is going to be a very special player. Look, you
02:30already saw glimpses of it in year one. He is a player that the more you give him the
02:33football, the better he is. And a lot of big time running backs are like that. They like
02:37to get into a rhythm and a feel. And I feel like every time he got into one, next thing
02:41you know, Tyler Algier would be getting three carries. And it drove me crazy all year to
02:46watch. I don't think that's going to happen in 24. You see the projections for him well
02:49over 200 attempts, over a thousand rushing yards. I think he could have over 500 receiving
02:54yards this year. He's a very good receiving back. This is a player that's going to have
02:58double digit combined touchdowns. I think 1500 all purpose yards. I think B. John Robinson
03:03is going to return his first round draft value. I really do.
