Every take from The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast)
2151–2175 of 2,749
On his podcast, John previewed several 2025 storylines: he expects the Cowboys to be roughly an eight-to-nine win team, gives the NFC South to Tampa Bay, picks Green Bay to win its division and make the playoffs, thinks Kyler Murray will be elsewhere by 2026, and says Daniel Jones will start Week 1 in Indianapolis.
Anthony Richardson is going into his third year. I think we all know how this thing's gonna end. Daniel Jones going to be starting week one.
I mean, I expect the Packers to make the playoffs
So I have May rank QB eight. I really do believe he's going to be a top ten quarterback this season if he stays healthy.
- PendingSeth WoolcockSleeper Calls
with the improveive offensive line, better pass catchers as well, plus a capable coaching staff, I'm in on Drake May as well.
Drake MayeNew England Patriots
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jul 26, 2025 right now he's sixty six overall. He's the RB twenty six in ACR. He's my fifty second overall player. I have him an RB nineteen
- PendingSeth WoolcockSleeper Calls
I'm also back in on tonyp here and like you, you kind of mentioned ninth most weighted opportunities
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jul 26, 2025 I have George Pickens as a top twenty wide receiver. He's my wide receiver sixteen.
My second favorite value pick for twenty twenty five, Seth is Tetoroa McMillan, the rookie wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers ECRs wide receiver twenty eight fifty nine overall. I have him at wide receiver twenty one forty six overall.
it's Drake May. Who's ECRs QB sixteen one hundred and eighth overall. I have Drake May QB eight eighty ninth overall.
I've got Tedoro mcmillans Wide receiver seventeen thirty.
Pollard's the unquestioned leader this backfield.
it's George Pickens. He is inappropriately priced. I mean he's seventy first overall in ECR wide receiver thirty two.

I'm completely in with you, and I just got snipe trying to pick Tataroa McMillan in scott Fishbowl here in the past week.
Tetairoa McMillanCarolina Panthers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jul 26, 2025 I think there's a definitive chance that May is a top twelve quarterback this year... So Drake May could easily be a top twelve quarterback.
Tony Pollard could be a top fifteen running back based off a volume in an improved situation.
the pathway for him to be the un like unquestioned wide receiver one alpha in this offense
I have him at wide receiver twenty one forty six overall.
tight end, Brenton Strange, both of those guys I think are going to provide some value as well
I think it benefits Hampton the most... he has RB one upside
I think Trevor Lawrence could beat his ADPs going around the quarterback twenty. I think he should be more so a low end QB one, high m QB two.
I think Golden is a smash... I know he's kind of going outside the top forty, right outside the top forty
don't even sleep on a guy like DeAndre Swift
I really think Stefan Diggs is being being underrated here... he's going outside the top forty in most fantasy drafts
Periods added a rookie running back Travion Henderson. He is extremely fast. I think he could be kind of like that when those James White seasons
