00:00Yeah, Derek Carr is your second quarterback in a Superflex is not going to kill you, you
00:09know, will he lose some touchdowns here and there to taste some hill probably is not going
00:13to make you want to throw something at your television most likely, but it's going to
00:16happen and that's what's going to keep his value somewhere on QB 16 or 17, but a guy
00:20you can get by with Alvin Kamara Kendra Miller Kendra Miller still doing with some injuries
00:25in camp.
00:26And this is a guy that has yet to stay healthy in the coaches kind of called him out.
00:29The quote a couple weeks ago was, you know, if Kendra Miller wants to play, he's got to
00:33find a way to be on the field.
00:35That's not real encouraging.
00:36That's not a big vote of confidence.
00:39It seems like more of a challenge to me out there.
00:41Chris Olave we touched on earlier in the show as being a steady any kind of wide receiver
00:45good but is capped a little bit in terms of being able to be great.
00:49I don't see him having a 10 touchdown season.
00:51I don't think that's in the range of outcomes for him.
00:53But Alvin Kamara's value is really intriguing to me because Kendra Miller so far hasn't
00:57really stepped up and neither is anybody else really in this backfield.
01:01So yeah, maybe the touchdown total was low last year, but he did miss some time with
01:04that suspension.
01:05Let's not forget the first four games, but I'm telling you right now RB 17, I think is
01:11a little low for Alvin Kamara, especially in full PPR leagues, and he only had the five
01:16rushing touchdowns last year.
01:17But even though he only played 13 games, he still finished as RB 14.
01:23So I think he's being a little undervalued in the marketplace.
01:26And if you are going big wide receiver earlier, looking to make things up, make up ground,
01:31I do think Alvin Kamara is a really good way to do that because you know, his role in the
01:36offense, you know, he's going to get a ton of opportunities.
01:38He's going to rush the football.
01:39He's going to catch the football.
01:40Sure the touchdowns once again, could be frustrating.
01:44We've seen them come in bunches at times too.
01:46But Matt, I look at Alvin Kamara as an old one of these veteran guys that it's just kind
01:51of been out there a while.
01:52People aren't as excited about drafting.
01:55But I kind of know what Alvin Kamara is and what he is in his offense.
02:00I don't know where Joe Mixon really falls into this new offense that he's in.
02:03Would you rather have Mixon who's going ahead of Kamara or take Alvin Kamara and take those
02:07PPR points?
02:08No, Joe Mixon, it would be that way for me all day just because of the offensive ecosystem.
02:13But I understand Kamara in isolation may be a different player, but I'm with you.
02:17I do think that a lot of people start to look in a different direction and maybe the bloom
02:21is off the rose.
02:22But that doesn't mean that it still doesn't smell nice.
