00:00All right, the next thing we're going to talk about here are the Cleveland Browns and the
00:06Cleveland Browns. Oh, the Cleveland Browns, a squad that I think somehow patched it together
00:13last year. Defense still really good. Miles Garrett, obviously one of the best defensive
00:17players on the planet. Team win totals at eight and a half. I got to tell you, George,
00:20I like the under on this one. I do not like what they did this off season. I have zero
00:26faith in Deshaun Watson. They brought in Jameis Winston, important Tyler Huntley. They brought
00:30in a lot of competition here because I think they have basically had it there at the end
00:35of their rope.
00:36And we can call it healthy and call it whatever we want. I'm tired of the excuses when it
00:39comes to Deshaun Watson. This is going to look like at the end of the day, most likely
00:43one of the worst decisions in front office NFL history to bring in Deshaun Watson and
00:49to pay him what they've paid him. And now they're kind of in a tough spot. They brought
00:53in Jerry Judy, another player, too, that I'm just not enamored of at this point in
00:57his career in this specific offense is already dealing with a knee issue.
01:01So this is a tricky one for me, George. The Browns are that one team to where I'm just
01:06running away from it. Fantasy because of the unknown. When does Nick Chubb come back? Does
01:11he come back? What does it look like? Is Jerome Ford the guy? Is it Foreman who had a terrible
01:17injury already in camp? So many questions. I know Mari Cooper. It seems like a steady
01:21Eddie kind of guy. His splits are a little odd, to say the least. But, George, when you're
01:25looking at the eight and a half wins, you're looking at the rest of this division, too,
01:28with coaches like Mike Tomlin in it. And obviously, you've still got the Bengals and Ravens challenging
01:32for the top. I think it's gonna be a long season with Joe Burrow healthy in this division
01:38for everybody else, but specifically for the Cleveland Browns. What's your take on the
01:42Browns? What you're feeling about them from a fantasy standpoint in terms of can you invest
01:46in Cleveland Browns? Well, you already said it. What is the Sean Watson going to be? He's
01:54not going to be that quarterback he was in Houston, right? That's fairly obvious. We're
01:57not getting that guy anymore. And you can sort of see that coming, right? Playing outdoors
02:00in Cleveland was never going to be fun, especially as we get the fall and winter here and the
02:05weather gets brutal. We don't know about Nick Chubb, right? We're pretty sure he's not playing
02:10week one. Maybe not in September. Maybe he ends up on PUP. Who knows? We don't know.
02:13And by the way, when he does play, will he beat Nick Chubb? That was a brutal injury
02:17he suffered there. So we'll see what he becomes. You mentioned Jerry and Judy. That's a lot
02:21of question marks. Probably too many to be comfortable with, especially in what is probably
02:25the best division in football from top to bottom. Each one of these teams is a good
02:29team. I wouldn't take the under, by the way. I think that's a little, you know, this is
02:32a, that defense is legit. They're going to keep them in a lot of games there to see which
02:36team, and we'll see which team makes the mistake in the fourth quarter to lose it, which I
02:39think is what's going to determine Cleveland's season. So I think they're going to play some
02:42boring football, by the way, because they're going to think, oh, the team's not going to
02:45go up some more 17 points. We're going to be 17-14 fourth quarter. We'll see what happens
02:49here. A lot of 21-17, 21-20 games coming in Cleveland. So not a lot of fantasy goodness.
02:54I'm not touching Deshaun Watson. All right. These are all yours. No, thank you. There's
02:59a lot of reasons I'm not touching him, and I'm not going to get into all of them on this
03:01show. Nick Chubb, I hope he comes back fine, Joe. I do. But unless the value's there, not
03:09touching him. Amari Cooper, the cowboy fan in me, I'm still mad at him. The guy just
03:14disappears sometimes. He's figuring out Casper the friendly ghost is what he is. Poof, gone.
03:20This drives me insane there. I do like the tight end. I like Najoku. I tried very hard
03:26to get him in the Scott Fishbowl. I was sniped right before I went there, so that was annoying
03:30there. So that's my way of saying he's my favorite play to take in Cleveland, Najoku.
03:34I think Watson does look for him. I think he's coming along as a pretty good tight end.
03:39I think he's coming along as a pretty good tight end.
03:40I think he's coming along as a pretty good tight end.
03:41I think he's coming along as a pretty good tight end.
