Speaker 1: the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano. Our guy, Graham

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Barfield is inactive this week. He's nursing a weave a

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: sinus infection. Whatever it does, get better, man artist. This

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: is kind of the time of the year where if

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: you're an NFL employee, people get sick everywhere and then

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: you have to like basically just spray like this whole

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: dome of lysol around you so the germs stay away

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: because everyone has The annual newsroom cold happened because it spreads.

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: You know, if you've ever been in a newsroom or

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: particularly our news room. It's just a wide open space,

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and so one person gets sick, there is sniffling, their coughing,

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and it spreads like wildfire from one end of the

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: newsroom to the other. It is an annual tradition. Unlike

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: in the other it's not it's not particularly Hopefully that's

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: not what Graham has. Whatever it is, We're with your buddy,

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: get better, and hopefully we'll see you back here soon

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: on the other side of the glass. As always, our

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: faithful producer, Sir Edward L. Murphy, Esquire Murph, what's up?

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: He just resting up for the Fantasy playoffs. That's really

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: what's right, right, I mean, you know you sit your

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: stars before the fantasy playoffs. That he's smart. That's exactly

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: what's happening. Plenty to talk about today. We will touch

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy being let go with Green Baby Hackers

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: and what this might mean for Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and that whole offense going forward. Also look at some

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: players who've had some big weeks recently and try to

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: determine whether or not they are real or miragees. Of course,

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: we'll have your waiver wire and some Monday Moning tweets.

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: It's the last one of the regular season for the

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: fantasy community, so we'll do all that's and plenty more,

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: But first let's do some news. The big news from

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: late last week the Chiefs of course releasing running back

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, and we know that he's not there obviously,

45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of Spencer wear on Sunday. Additional

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: news though, the team plans to host free agent running

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: backs c J Anderson and Sharkendrick West. They've actually gone

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: with Charkendrick West. Alright, so he's back. Yeah. Um, So

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: talk to c J a little bit this morning and um,

50
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: looks like they're going with Archandrack. He is a guy

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: who knows the offense. He's playing with the Chiefs. I

52
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: mean it makes sense. So we are at a pointless

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: season where obviously handcuffing your top running backs becomes important. Spencer,

54
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: where is the top running back there in Kansas City? Now,

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: yesterday we saw a little bit of Damien Williams getting

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: some touches there. As you mentioned, Sharkandrick West is a

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: guy who knows the offense, has some some comfort level

58
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: there in Kansas City. So if you are looking to

59
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: pick up one of those guys as a handcuff. Which

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: way are you leaning right now? No? No, it would

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: be Damian, no, no question about that. But boy, I

62
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: tell you something, Christmas came early. If you heard the

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: news about Kareem Hunt and we're either around your phone

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: or a computer, because Spencer where it was widely available

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: in all leagues across the board, and suddenly you've got

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: a potential RB two down the stretch, right in time

67
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: for the fantasy playoffs. And you know that news with

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. The video was shocking and it's so trivial

69
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: to talk about fantasy football when you look at what

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: happened in that video. Unfortunately, you know, sometimes we have

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: to to discuss these topics. But um, Spencer where is

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: he said? He has the snaps, He's going to see

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: the majority of the touches in the backfield moving forward,

74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: And he's not Kareem Hunt. From his skill perspective, he's

75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: not He's not going to catch a ton of passes

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, but he is going to get

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: volume as a ball carrier, no question about that. Well,

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's interesting because if Spencer Ware doesn't get

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: hurt last year, Yeah, he's the starter probably all year.

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's You're right, he maybe not,

81
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: you know, talent wise, on the same level, but he

82
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: would have been good enough that he would have kept

83
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: that job and and we probably wouldn't really know who

84
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt is. So moving on elsewhere across the National

85
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Football League another running back situation. James Conner suffered a

86
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: lower leg contusion late in Sunday Nights lost to the

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. The good news is right now, it

88
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: may not be something very serious, but fans, I know

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people, probably yourself included, Yeah, we're holding

90
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: their breath when James Conner went down to that Yeah,

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: because it looked bad and then he needed some help

92
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: getting off the field. He wasn't really able to put

93
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of weight on that leg. And Ian Rapp

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: report are NFL insider here reporting that it's not as

95
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: bad as it looked. Now we don't know whether or

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: not that means he's not going to miss any time,

97
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: which would be preferable from a fantasy perspective, especially when

98
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: you look at what Connor did in the first half

99
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: last night, plus the schedule is pretty favorable. But this

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: is and Marcus and I have talked about this. We've

101
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: talked about it on the podcast, we talked about it

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: on TV. This is why when you get close to

103
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs, you half the handcuff your top running

104
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: backs because God forbid, something happens where James Connor is

105
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna miss time. Jalen Samuels is gonna be the top

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: ad off the waiver wire, And if you've made the playoffs,

107
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: or if you're in a position to make the playoffs,

108
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: chances are you may not have an opportunity in terms

109
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: of your waiver priority to go out and get him.

110
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: So I still think, regardless of what happens with Connor,

111
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Samuel still needs to be owned in all leagues, especially

112
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: if you have Connor as your RB one. The Ravens

113
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: place Alex Collins on injured reserve, which kind of ends

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: what has been up and down and frustrating year for

115
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: Alex Collins. We've seen Gus Edwards the last couple of

116
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: weeks step in and really get a bigger role in

117
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: that offense. Now, Kenneth Dixon, we saw him get on

118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: the field a little bit on Sunday there. Um, I mean,

119
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to signing. Obviously, Alex Collins,

120
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: you can release back to the waiver wire if I'm

121
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: hadn't already at this point. How much do you concern

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: yourself though, with Kenneth Dixon maybe cutting into Gus Edwards

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: opportunities there? Yeah, I mean there's a little bit of

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: concern there, and Gus Edwards just one dimensional, like he's

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: not going to catch it, does not catch the ball,

126
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and I mean he's getting carries, but you know, his

127
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: his his ceiling is not high at all, So you

128
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: like the volume, he's not He's not a guy who's

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: who's going to be catching any passes out of the backfield,

130
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: which is why you're seeing Time Montgomery targeted so much

131
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. So as much as I liked Edwards

132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: coming into the week with a good matchup, I mean

133
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: he gave you a sort of a mediocre stat line.

134
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: And with Kenneth Dixon in the mix and Time Montgomery

135
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: mixing in there on third downs and passing downs, I

136
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: think Edwards I've cooled on him a little bit. Let's

137
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: just put it that away. Yeah. I was really hoping

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: for some big things this past week, figuring that this

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a really good matchup against Atlanta,

140
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, it was just kind of that's what

141
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: that was. Bad news in Carolina. Greg Olsen, the Banthers

142
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: tied end, suffers a season ending injury. It is another

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: foot injury for greg Olsen. It's what kept him out

144
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: pretty much all of last season, it's what kept him

145
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: out earlier in this season, and it appears that it

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: will end his season here and you do have to

147
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: kind of wonder, you know, how much more we see

148
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Greg Olson ever. I mean, he's an older player who's

149
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: a very good career obviously, but these foot injuries starting

150
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: to sort of compound themselves and you have to kind

151
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: of wonder about Olsen's future. But in the short term,

152
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: it's one more tight end we're taking out of play,

153
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: a guy who had been playing well until recently. Ian

154
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Thomas is sort of the next man up there in Carolina.

155
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Is he enough of of an interest for you to

156
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: maybe if you were looking at somebody off the waiver

157
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: wire to take a run at. And it's bad right now,

158
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Marcus knows it. The tight end position is getting worse

159
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: because not only did you justin was Greg Olsen, But

160
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: keep in mind, you know, you lost Jeff Hireman uh

161
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: the week before and j Howard. J Howard goes out

162
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: as well. I feel like there might be some better

163
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: options off the waiver wire than I and Thomas. But

164
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: at this point, if you're streaming tight ends, it is

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: a waste land. I mean, Chris Herndon is out there,

166
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: although he's coming off a bad game. John and Smith

167
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: is out there, he's coming off a bad game. The

168
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Rams tight ends are out there. If you want a

169
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: piece of that offense, they're out there as well. Uh.

170
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I know you had discussed Mark Edwards. Uh kind of

171
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: Mark Andrey. I'm sorry Mark Andrews coming into the week.

172
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: So I think there are other options out there. But

173
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: if you don't have you know, and Travis Kelsey aside,

174
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: z that urg aside. If you weren't lucky enough to

175
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: grab and Eric Ebron, I mean even in Austin Hooper

176
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: George Kills been tremendous this season, then you have been

177
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: in a situation at the tight end position. Even Gronk,

178
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean Gronk has been injured and when he's not

179
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: been on the sidelines, and he has been on the

180
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: grid iron has been really inconsistent, really inconsistent. It's been

181
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: a tough season for for tight ends. Makes me wonder

182
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: next year when we start drafting and stuffy, how early

183
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: are people going to go out and grab and urts Kelsey,

184
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: because knowing the drop off right now is so dramatic

185
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: after you get past the first two or three guys.

186
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: I just I have a sneaking suspicion that you may

187
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: see in some extreme cases, people reaching in the second

188
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: round to kind of get one of these tight ends,

189
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: just because I mean, I think that's extreme, but I

190
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: do think you'll see some people kind of reaching that

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: early just to make sure. Yeah, the other position that's

192
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: going to be very interesting, and we've talked about this

193
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: is quarterback. How many people next season and drafts that

194
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: we're going to participate in draft one or wait until

195
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the last three rounds. I always think it's funny doing

196
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: doing drafts with folks in the fantasy industry or people

197
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: who are are really really into it, and it's almost

198
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: this game of chicken, yes, where everybody's just sitting around

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: here like waiting, sort of staring at each other to

200
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: see who's going to be the first one to draft

201
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You know, it's it's being in these drafts

202
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: and and sort of assuming this past year obviously that

203
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: it would be Aaron Rodgers the first guy off the board,

204
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: and just waiting to see who's going to be the

205
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: one to pull the trigger. And when it finally happens,

206
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: when it finally does, there's sort of this kind of

207
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: size has grown in the room. It's just like, all right,

208
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I gotta think about it. So that that's that's gonna

209
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: be interesting. I think I think we're gonna have something

210
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: similar with tid ends, where people are gonna start to

211
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: reach for them just to make sure they get one

212
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: that they feel comfortable, comfortable with. Every week. A J.

213
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Green suffers another leg injury in the loss to the Broncos.

214
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: He had had a toe injury which had kept him

215
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks. He came back, played

216
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, then got hurt early in that game

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: and we didn't see him anymore. And I will say

218
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that I was a little bit surprised that he came

219
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: back after Andy Dalton got hurt. It was something we

220
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: talked about last week, the Bengals sort of falling out

221
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: of playoff contention at this point, and I just was

222
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: surprised they brought him back. I would think that now

223
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: with this, this might be the last we see of

224
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: a J. Green this year. It could be, and it

225
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: should be, because the Bengals are out of it. And

226
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, when you get carted off the sidelines and

227
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: into the locker room, Uh, chances are with four weeks

228
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: remaining in the regular season and your team floundering, you're

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: you're you know, I mean, just you're not going to

230
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: see the fielding, right, I mean, it doesn't make sense

231
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: for the Bengals. It doesn't make sense for a J. Green. Um.

232
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: It just I feel like at this point they may

233
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: just shut him down and call it a year and

234
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: then see what happened next year when they're hopefully healthy

235
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe with a new head coach next year,

236
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: if Marvin Lewis, how many times have we gone through this,

237
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis has been on the hot seat and he

238
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: inevitably survives. I feel like last year even Marvin Lewis

239
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: himself was sort of surprised to come back. I just

240
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: got the feeling that they asked him about it, and

241
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: the general attitude he got was, yeah, I guess, I

242
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: guess I'm coming back. He didn't even seem all that

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: excited about it, to be honest. Yeah, man, if I'm

244
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: a Bengals fan, um, I'm looking for change, I'm looking

245
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: for change. It's been long enough. The Bengals haven't done

246
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: anything since Marvin Lewis has been the head coach. I mean,

247
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: They've had some good seasons, still don't have a playoff one.

248
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean. So yeah, it's to me, it's it's time

249
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: to to cut ties there and uh make a new um,

250
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: start a new era there in Cincinnati. As I will say.

251
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: I will say this though, if they missed the playoffs,

252
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it will deprive of de priv us of one of

253
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: our unofficial NFL media holidays are Pal Chris Westling has

254
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: what he calls West of Us, which is is him

255
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: getting you know, getting friends together and watching and celebrating

256
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals inevitable first round playoff loss. But if there's

257
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: no first round playoff game, there's no first round playoff loss.

258
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: So no West of Us this year. It's going to

259
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: be kind of sad there. Ye know. That's pretty much

260
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: everything you need to know, all right. So the one

261
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: headline that I did not mention in our news segment

262
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,359
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. The biggest story of Sunday Mike McCarthy

263
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: fired by the Green Bay Packers. The backers right now

264
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: after they're shocking loss at home to the Arizona Cardinals.

265
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: They sit at four seven and one, and for all

266
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, I mean, if if last week hadn't

267
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: knocked them out of the playoff race, you figured this

268
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: has pretty much all but sealed their fate in terms

269
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: of not getting to the playoffs. The Packers the seventeenth

270
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: ranked offense, their eighth in passing. Aaron Rodgers says he

271
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: has not been the Aaron Rodgers were used to seeing.

272
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: He's got thirty passing yards, twenty one touchdowns, does have

273
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: has just one interception. So he has been pretty good

274
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: all things considered, even if it's not what we're used

275
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: to seeing, and he's still a top ten quarterback as

276
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: we sit here today. But this just wasn't working FABS,

277
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody, it was kind of one of the

278
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: biggest stories in the NFL is that how is it

279
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: that this Packers offense was struggling so much to move

280
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: the football and to score points. It just seemed like,

281
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: while maybe the timing caught us off guard. This seems

282
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: sort of inevitable. It did. I wasn't expecting him to

283
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: get the hook on game day after a loss. But

284
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, the Packers threw up all the over themselves.

285
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: You lose at home to the Cardinals and a rookie

286
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in Josh Rosen, the worst ranked offense in the league.

287
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I loved the Packers defense in fantasy,

288
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: love them, And how could he not home game cold snow?

289
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen grew up in Manhattan Beach, California. You're thinking

290
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer, and unfortunately there are very

291
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: few no brainers in fantasy people. But we learned that

292
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: painfully every single season. But this it was gonna happen.

293
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would happen again on Sunday. But

294
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: now you bring in Joe philbin And when we look

295
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: at Joe Philbins resume, of course, he was the head

296
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: coach of the Miami Dolphins. Um he's also been clearly

297
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: the O C of the Green Bay Packers. And when

298
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: you look back at what sort of offensive attack he

299
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: likes to use, well, here's the good news. If you

300
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: have Aaron Jones. And by the way, how the how

301
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: the hell, Marcus do you split carries between Aaron Jones

302
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: and Jamal Williams when Aaron Jones is clearly it was

303
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: back to like four weeks ago. How does Jones get

304
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: eleven carries against one of those defenses in the league.

305
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: I think it was fourteen to eleven or fifteen to eleven,

306
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: Like the touches? Are you insane? Mike McCarthy, I mean

307
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: that's that's that right. There is a fire abols. So

308
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: when Philbin was the head coach in Miami, Lamar Miller

309
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: was a top ten running back twice. He was five

310
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: and he was nine. Reggie Bush in two thousand and

311
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: twelve was fourteen. We're talking about in PPR leagues. So

312
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: he's he's going to utilize Aaron Jones down the stretch.

313
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. Even despite the lack of

314
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: touches in the game against the Cardinals, he still ended

315
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: up with a decent stat line too. So good news

316
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones owners. And I think you know, with

317
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, this this is an example of where changes.

318
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a good change. Okay, Aaron Rodgers

319
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: has been a very unreliable fantasy quarterback for two straight weeks.

320
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Did I just say that? I just said that, Murph.

321
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: I just said that. And Rogers has had fewer than

322
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes in two straight games. The last time

323
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: that has happened two thousand and fifteen. It's been a

324
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: long time, So this change is good. The one thing

325
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: you have to be concerned about with Rodgers is that,

326
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got Tavanta Adams, and he got a

327
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: bunch of otherwide receivers rookies and inexperienced, and Randall Cobbs

328
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: not making much of an impact as well. With that

329
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: being said, I still would play Rodgers upcoming against the

330
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons because their defense is just not any good.

331
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: And you want to talk about a team that's given up,

332
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: that team has given up. That team is not showed

333
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: now for several weeks in a row. And this is

334
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: the time of the year whereas a fantasy analysts, I'm

335
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of looking at that, I'm thinking, Okay, which one

336
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: of these teams is just taking right now? And Atlanta

337
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: is one of them. They're They're definitely one of the Yeah.

338
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: So even Matt Ryan, like Matt Ryan was a guy

339
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: you were starting every week. Now he's he's got I

340
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: believe the upcoming game is at Lambeau and if it

341
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: is cold weather, Matt Ryan. Packer's defense hasn't been terrible

342
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks overall this season either, So um that uh

343
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: that that might be another reason where you're going to

344
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: be keeping Ryan on your bench. But yeah, this had

345
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: to happened. And Rogers is how old now? He's thirty?

346
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: Just yesterday yesterday was sort of a weird birthday present

347
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: for Aaron Roddy. Yeah, yeah, you know, the time is

348
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: aberation of Aaron rod He wants to get back to

349
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. They're gonna have to make some changes there,

350
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: and they made one big one yesterday. Now you mentioned

351
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin, he is the interim head coach. He had

352
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: been the the o c although it was Mike McCarthy

353
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: calling the play. He's very famously in this offense. You

354
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: mentioned he was a former Dolphins head coach from two

355
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: and twenty eight record in that time, but before that,

356
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: he had been the Packers offensive coordinator previously, and now

357
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: he was the guy at the helm when Aaron Rodgers

358
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: took over for Brett Farve as the starting quarterback in

359
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Now, in four seasons under Joe Philbin,

360
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers averaged about yards, thirty two touchdowns nine interceptions

361
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: per year. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. Uh. He

362
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: had as his wide receivers during that time, Greg Jennings,

363
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: Donald Driver and some young guy named Jordy Nelson who

364
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: ended up being pretty good yesterday, by the way, is easy.

365
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what where, I don't know where that

366
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: came from. But so so ideally, hopefully this rekindles something. Right,

367
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: if Joe Philbin is back, and you can say what

368
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: you like about him as a head coach, his record

369
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: in Miami was not particularly great. But if if Rogers

370
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: can sort of rekindle what he had in the past

371
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: under Joe Philbin, then at least for our purposes as

372
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: fantasy folks, this is a great move. Yeah, this is

373
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: gonna work out. It's good news, no doubt about that.

374
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: So doubt about it. So now it does become an issue. Obviously,

375
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: getting Aaron Rodgers going is priority one for this offense,

376
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: but if this means something for Aaron Jones, that would

377
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: be great. If they can establish a second wide receiver

378
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: or somehow bring Jimmy Graham back to life. I just

379
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: think that along with getting Aaron Rodgers going, they've got

380
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: to find some other pass catchers who can be consistent there.

381
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we we went through the Marquez Valdez scantling

382
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: weeks for for a little bit. Uh, there was a

383
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: one week where Equanimius st. Brown showed up for a

384
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: little little bit. But they've got to find some sort

385
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: of consistency because ever since Geronimo Allison went down, they

386
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: just haven't really had anything close to a number two

387
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: receiver on this team. Take McCarthy ends up in Cleveland

388
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: next season, that is the scuttle butts, right, So it's like,

389
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: maybe Arians ends up with Green Bay because Brian said,

390
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna come back and coach the Browns. Oh

391
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Aaron Rodgers needs a quarterback. See, I'll

392
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay. It's it's gonna be kind of

393
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens. And I know that the

394
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Browns fans on my Twitter timeline, we're not super ecstatic

395
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: about the news reports that the Browns might Mike McCarthy

396
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: because here they are. Freddy Kitchens has taken over. They've

397
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: unleashed Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb. I think I think

398
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Browns fans looking over at Green Bay are not all

399
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: that fired up about Mike McCarthy maybe coming and taking over.

400
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: They don't be interesting. There's a lot of coaching open

401
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: openings h that could become very interesting in the off season.

402
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, now that we know that Joe Philbin

403
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: is there, that Mike McCarthy is gone, obviously there's going

404
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: to be maybe some transition into a bit of a

405
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: new scheme as they try to work this through. Um

406
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: you go by, I mean, you go back to Aaron

407
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers right this week against Atlanta, you go back to

408
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, no doubt do you do you take a

409
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: chance on any other any other Packers but not named

410
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Dante Not I mean Jimmy Graham with the busted thumb

411
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: and all. He had a bunch of catches and tight

412
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: ends thin. So I mean, I guess he's in the

413
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: category of you could do worse. But in terms of

414
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, there's no one else that you

415
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: can trust. There, not anyone, not MBS, not Equanimious, not

416
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: not at Randall, cob none, no nobody. This is a

417
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: a three horse race. When it comes to fantasy football.

418
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: It's Rodgers, it's Jones, it's d A, and then if

419
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: you need it, it's Jimmy Graham. I'm looking at the schedule,

420
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: and in the three weeks of the fantasy playoffs, it's

421
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: home against Atlanta. That's a good one, and then two

422
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: road games, one at Chicago that's not good, one at

423
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: the Jets. Just that sort of a mixed bag. Um.

424
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: And then for the those do you sociopaths who play

425
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: with seventeen there at home against the Lions. I don't

426
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: know about you, but when sixteen a week, sixteen is done, dude,

427
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm happy I don't have to deal with setting my

428
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: line up and picking up players for ten teams. Friends

429
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: don't let friends play weeks seventeen. It's a headache. Those

430
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: are words to live by. So obviously we'll be keeping

431
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: an eye on this, trying to see what Joe Philbin

432
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: and the rest of this staff can make out of

433
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: what's happened the Packers. I think, for you know, actual

434
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: football purposes are sort of done, but for our fantasy purposes,

435
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: they're still plenty to be said about what could happen.

00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: It's funny and as it's going through this. I was

457
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: trying to find some God and just by chance happened

458
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: to be a pair of teammates on a couple of

459
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: different teams that I looked at and then thing, Okay,

460
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: are these guys real or are they a miurage? So

461
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: go through a couple of these and kind of get

462
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: your thoughts on whether you think like this is something

463
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: we should pay attention to for the plug offs or

464
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: whether or not this is something we can sort of ignore.

465
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: First one is Josh Allen. He's at twenty six or

466
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points and back to back weeks, a lot

467
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: of it coming on the ground, most of it is

468
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: playoff schedule. It's kind of the middle of the road.

469
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: He's at home against the Jets this week, He's at

470
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: home against the Lions the next week, and then he

471
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: finishes in Week sixteen, finishes the fantasy season in Week

472
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: sixteen at New England. Is what we've seen out of

473
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? I mean is this Can he keep this up?

474
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Or you know, does it come crashing back down? See,

475
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm not brave enough to start a guy like Josh

476
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: Allen during the fantasy playoffs, And I am always talking

477
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: about how running quarterbacks have more value, and it's clearly true.

478
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers that I just put up

479
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: a hundred thirty five rushing yard, it's like, yeah, Lashawn McCoy,

480
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: you're taking a back seat as a runner to our

481
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, which is just it's mind boggling to me.

482
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: But if you're in a super flex or a two

483
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: QB league, then Josh Allen needs to clearly be on

484
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: your radar. And you know, coming out of college, this

485
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: as the guy with the big arm run. You know,

486
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: this guy's got a hand cannon, but he's doing his

487
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: damage as a runner. And when you thought of rookie

488
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming into the league doing damage as a runner,

489
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: you thought, why you thought Lamar Jackson? Who He's done

490
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: that in his own respect as well. But man, I

491
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe I'm you know, dude, I root for the Yankees, Cowboys,

492
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: and Lakers. Okay, I don't like to put the hopes

493
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: and dreams of my fantasy teams on no name guys.

494
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: And I get Josh Allen is started becoming a name,

495
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: But like I mean, am I starting Josh Allen over

496
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers know him? I'm starting Josh Allen over Uh.

497
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: Even Baker Mayfield, I mean, Baker Mayfield has has been

498
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: pretty solid over the last several weeks. So he he

499
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: is a guy coming off of two big games who

500
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: probably won't see his ownership percentage rise past ten percent.

501
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: I can't. I just can't trust him. And and I

502
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: wrote about this in my latest Things I Learned column

503
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: is that in that yes, he's running, he's running a lot,

504
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: and he's running efficiently. First of all, though he's averaged

505
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks about ten yards per carry,

506
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: which is the an enormous number. But the difference between

507
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: say Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson is that the Ravens

508
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of designed runs. For Lamar Jackson, there

509
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: are situations for him to actually get out and run.

510
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: So much of what Josh Allen is doing are just

511
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: impromptu scrambles that are really hard to sort of predict.

512
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, at some point is a team going to

513
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: put a spy on him to try to keep him

514
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: in the pocket and make some throws. Because as a

515
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: passer he's been really just average at best. Uh. I

516
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: mean a couple of weeks ago, I think he had

517
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty yards about seventy five of them

518
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: came on one play. There's just so many things that

519
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: screen and we we talked about regression. Maybe you know

520
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: ad nauseum, but there are so many things that scream regression.

521
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: And what Josh Allen has done the last couple of

522
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: weeks that it just makes it hard. I'm with you,

523
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: I just can't trust him because none of what he

524
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: has done. While it's been great and if you're Bills fans,

525
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: I she's been a lot of fun to watch, it

526
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: just seems so hard to pinpoint and just just you know,

527
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: not guarantee, but at least you know project what could

528
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: happen next week. So I can't do it with Josh Allen. Yeah.

529
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: And and I think moving on to the next player

530
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: that you have on Liza Jones, the same kind of

531
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: thing you know is a Jones is a guy that

532
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: you know coming out of college as some upside Buffalo

533
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: needed a wide receiver. Uh and and he he has

534
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: looked good in two of his last three games, I believe. Um.

535
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: He had twenty three against the Jets in Week ten.

536
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Of course that was with Barkley under sent which shocked

537
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: the world. And then yes, and then he had bump

538
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: kiss against the Jags, he had one target, I mean

539
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: zip and then right and now you've got now you've

540
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: got Miami and you put up a big line against them,

541
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: and you mentioned, you know that the schedule, You've got

542
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: the Jets Tremaine Johnson, and you've got Detroit Darius Slay

543
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: and then you've got the Patriots Stefan Gilmour. Depending on

544
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: where these guys are gonna be like and u Z

545
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: Jones could have a pretty tough rest of the season schedule, Yeah,

546
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: you know. And I just again going back to Josh

547
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Allen and him not being a huge passer and completing

548
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: a bunch of passes. That sort of makes it a

549
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: little bit interesting. And it's funny because A Jones was

550
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: a guy that I don't think anybody talked about coming

551
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: out of college, but then he had a huge week

552
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl and suddenly, like Za Jones became

553
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: a thing. He made a couple of ridiculous catches at

554
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl a couple of years ago, became a thing.

555
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: Last year, I just had a kind of a miserable

556
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: rookie season and now this year is starting to maybe

557
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: do things. But the passing game in Buffalo has just

558
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: been so inconsistent that it's just really hard to count

559
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: on any of those past catchers there. Yeah. Yeah, he

560
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: did have nine targets in the game yesterday, so Josh

561
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Allen clearly has uh an infinity throwing on the football.

562
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: I just don't love the matchups coming up in the

563
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: next three weeks. And again it's like I'm a scarity

564
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: cat when it comes to fantasy football. I am, And

565
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I actually sort of went against that

566
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: uh this past week and it burned me. Like typically

567
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: I would rather go with guys who I feel like

568
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: their floor is a little bit higher than going with

569
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: high ceiling guys whose floors may not be as good.

570
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: And I did that with Josh Reynolds this weekend. I

571
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: started him and it burned me. Bench Alicean Jeffrey, which

572
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: means Jeffrey is gonna blow up against the Redskins. I

573
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: guarantee it. He's gonna have a huge game because I

574
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: sat him. But um, yeah, I mean Za Jones is

575
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: just not a guy that I'm ready to trust right now,

576
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: especially at the most important time of the season, as

577
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: well as he's done. So then Robert Foster, Yeah, let's

578
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: move on. Let's move Okay, So those are the two

579
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: bills I had on my list. Now, just by chance,

580
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I came up with a couple of forty Niners. So

581
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, I feel like this is one that that

582
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: actually is gaining some traction, right. Yeah, you had near

583
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: the thirty points in PPR on Sunday. He's had seventeen

584
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: or more in two straight weeks. The schedule isn't particularly

585
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: great for him in the playoffs. He's got Denver, Seattle

586
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so that's not super exciting. But the Niners

587
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: are likely to be playing from behind, They're likely to

588
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: be throwing the football a lot in the second half.

589
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: And I mean even even yesterday, a lot of what

590
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Pettis got came in the third and fourth quarters after

591
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had taken a pretty good lead. So I mean,

592
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: if that's the formula, then I sort of like what

593
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: you could have with Dante. Yeah. And I mean and

594
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson's you know, he's been banged up. Marcus Goodwin

595
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: is dealing with a personal situation, so as long as

596
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: his kids in there, and he is the primary target

597
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: outside of George Kittle for Nick Mullins. By the way,

598
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, I mean, you know, I get it from

599
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: a reality perspective, You're not looking at that game and

600
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: thinking that he performed very well. From a fantasy perspective,

601
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: he threw for four hundred one. I mean, it was

602
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: like it was. It wasn't even It's like in Seattle.

603
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't until later on Sunday evenings. I'm going through

604
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: him like he had four hundred yards, right, I mean

605
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: Mayfield had three was second so and no one was

606
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: starting Nick Mullins, and there was even whispers that maybe C. J.

607
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: Bethard was going to take that job back. It from

608
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: a fantasy standpoint, although no one started him, Nick Mullins

609
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: did have a nice game garbage time game script, and

610
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: that favors Pettis because the Niners are likely going to

611
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: have to throw the football quite a bit. Yeah, I

612
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: think I like Dante Pettis. It's he has sort of

613
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: blossomed a lot of it by necessity because as you mentioned,

614
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Marky's Goodwin has been absent, Pierre Carson hasn't really been

615
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: much of a factor, and teams are starting to pay

616
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: more attention to George Kittle. So that's opened some things

617
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: up for for Pettis. I mean he was a guy

618
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: that coming into this year, I think the Niners just

619
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: mostly expected him to kind of be a special teams guy,

620
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: to return punts and kicks and that sort of thing.

621
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: But he has got an opportunity and he really has

622
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: made the most of it. He's been a big play

623
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: guy when given a chance. Jeff Wilson, because we can't

624
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: go more than two weeks without an unknown Niners running back,

625
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: popping up and doing things. It's like, first, he's like

626
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: the new gust Edwards, right, I mean right? Or or

627
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: is he the new Ruggie Mostard? Or is he the

628
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: new Matt Brad or is he the new like whatever?

629
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this, if it is out

630
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: and the touches are there, this dude at twenty three

631
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: touches touches. The first off, Breed is not going to

632
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: be out um because we know that whatever happens this week,

633
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: he's going to find a way to come back and

634
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: play on sunch because that's just who Matt Breeda is.

635
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: But the thing is, Matt Breeda may play, and then

636
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: everybody will sit Jeff Wilson, and then Breeda will tweak

637
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: an ankle, because that's what happened on Sunday. Nobody knew this,

638
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: but I guess during pregame warm ups breed To sort

639
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: of reaggravated an old ankle injury. Then I think he

640
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: got it twisted on a screen pass, and then suddenly

641
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson's in the game. Jeff Wilson Jr. I should say,

642
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: was in the game, and as you mentioned, twenty three touches,

643
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty four total yards. I mean, credit nowhere,

644
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: credit Kyle Shanahan for just cycling these running backs through

645
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: there and having them be productive week after week. But

646
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: this just feels like it just feels like Ring Most

647
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Dirt Part two, right, Like just when you start to

648
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: get comfortable, then Matt Breeda comes back, and then we

649
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 1: never hear from Jeff Wilson. So here's something crazy, right,

650
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: of the top eight PPR running backs going in Monday night,

651
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: two of them are owned in less than one percent

652
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: of NFL dot Com League's Chase Edmonds just like we

653
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: drew it up markets, just like we drew it up.

654
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: So Wilson will be one of the tour or three

655
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: top picks off the waiver wire this week. Just because

656
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: he is playing in a Kyle Shanahan offense. It's very

657
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: running back friendly and you have to sort of keep

658
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: tabs on what happens with Matt Brido. But there's always

659
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: that risk that Marcus just brought out that Brita comes

660
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: back and is the hero of the day. He's overcoming

661
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: another injury and suddenly he gives he gets twenty touches

662
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: and then Jeff Wilson is a one week thing. But

663
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I will say this, Um, it's

664
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to see what the forty Niners

665
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: do in the off season with that running back position,

666
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: because you've got Jack McKinnon coming back, but Levy on

667
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: Bell is gonna be available, so I don't know. Um,

668
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interesting because if the Niners get

669
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: a true featured back, whether it is going to be

670
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon or whether it's someone else that they bring in,

671
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: that running back is gonna have a lot of fantasy value.

672
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: The Livian Bell sweep steaks will be I WoT say

673
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting, and I guess it will be interesting.

674
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: It's also I feel like it's going to be the

675
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: story that we're all going to be sick of by

676
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: the time it's over, Like we're gonna get you know,

677
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna be leading up to free agency. They're going

678
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: to be all this you know what's going to happen

679
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: with love Bell and it will be you know, intriguing

680
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: and cute for like a couple of days, but we

681
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: will hear so much about it that'll be like, so

682
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: you got san fran um, which by the way, I did. Uh.

683
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: I did an event in San Francisco a couple of

684
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: years ago, and people who live in that in that area,

685
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I hate the term San Francis's. They don't like that.

686
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: They don't like Frisco either. Yes, so I'll say san Francisco,

687
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: I might I apologize. Um, but Casey is now in

688
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: the mix because Kareem Hunt's no longer there. Philadelphia you

689
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: would think could be in the mix. Indianapolis could be

690
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: in the mix as well. So it is going to

691
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. And Livian Bell, who I

692
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: drafted in our Experts League, and that's part of the

693
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: reason why I am not I mean make the playoffs.

694
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: But um, that is going to be a big time storyline.

695
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: What about a sneaky one for you, Miami. Right, it's

696
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: obvious that Adam Gays doesn't like kids. Yeah, but you

697
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: don't want them there because then Frank Gore is gonna

698
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: cut into his right. I mean, it's obvious that that

699
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: Adam Gates does not like Kenyan Drake. Uh. You know,

700
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. As much as I joked that he will

701
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: live forever, I mean, at some point, he will eventually

702
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: not be there anymore. Um. I don't know what what

703
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: they built around him, because the rest of that team

704
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: has a lot of issues. But you know who knows,

705
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean Lev DIDs in that random tweet farewell Miami,

706
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: So maybe he hangs out down there by the way

707
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: that that whole Kenyan Drake And then I mix in

708
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: a little Alex Collins in that. I think we've learned

709
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: a lesson. And uh, this is a lesson that we

710
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: may have learned in the past. But even more so

711
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: when you see a running back sort of break out

712
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season who otherwise wasn't

713
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, really trust the rate. You can't trust him

714
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: the following year. Trust can't Drake Alex Collins this season

715
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: and not that Alex Collins was drafted in the first

716
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: three or four rounds, but there was a lot of

717
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: juice behind him because he was that running back who

718
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: the zero running back truthers were out there screaming from

719
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: the mountaintops about he was one of my favorite sleepers

720
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: this year. And he absolutely tanked. I mean he had,

721
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: he had a couple of decent games, but he could

722
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: never shake the presence of Buck Allen. And now he's

723
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: on injured reserve and um uh so that's a lesson

724
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: that I'm definitely going to take in the next season

725
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: as I look back and do research at some of

726
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: the running backs who sort of came out of nowhere

727
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: to be second half heroes this season, because clearly it

728
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee success the following campaign. So no Swords what

729
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: you're saying, No, Baltimore's got it, You've got to do something.

730
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: I mean, especially, you know, if that offense is going

731
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: to be revolving around Lamar Jackson, they have got to

732
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: get uh some sort of upgrade at the running back spot.

733
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: And I guess good God said words just been a

734
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: nice story, but come on, Marcus, you know he's not

735
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: going to be moving forward. He also was like a

736
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: two week story, and that was kind of said words

737
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: one more real quick And you mentioned briefly Chase Edmonds

738
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: having the two touchdowns, And I thought about putting him

739
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: on this list until I realized that he only got

740
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: five carries. It's just that three of them came inside

741
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: the tin yard line and two of them ended in

742
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. So and Byron left? Was he he left?

743
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: What are you doing? He was? He was in our

744
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: good grace. You were gonna be our hero, Byron? He

745
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: was in our good graces. And guess what we were

746
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: all counting on you. You let us down? Yes you did.

747
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: You turned in. He turned in the Mike McCoy Part

748
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: two on Sunday the last couple of weeks. Maybe it

749
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: was the influence of Lambeau field Man. So it is Monday,

750
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: and even though we are heading toward the Fantasy playoffs,

751
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: still hit the waiver wire, folks. It is still important.

752
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: So we've got our list of waiver wire names here.

753
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, we've talked about a little bit, uh some

754
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: names that that you have heard probably a few times

755
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: on this list. Courtland Sutton. We talked about Jeff Wilson

756
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: and Dante pet Us a little bit um the Chris

757
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: gott and Adam Humphreys split. We were I think we

758
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: started the week trying to figure which one should you get?

759
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: What should you do? They both ended up scoring touchdowns,

760
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: so it actually ended up being kind of okay either way. Dude,

761
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: Humphres has been good man. I mean, this is a

762
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: guy that we've been talking about on the show for

763
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: several weeks now. He doesn't have the big name value.

764
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, he's not a Julian Edelman.

765
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: He's actually been better than Julian Edelman, believe it or not,

766
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: but look at his stat lines. I mean, fourteen six nine,

767
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: then he had a stinker against the Redskins, came back

768
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: with fifteen against the Giants, seventeen four against the Niners,

769
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: and then nineteen one against Carolina. Then he's got New

770
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: Orleans coming up, and the New Orleans defense has been

771
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: better I think the last three games. I think they're

772
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: averaging like thirteen points a game. That's it. So that's

773
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: not necessarily a great matchup, but he certainly put himself

774
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: on the radar over the last three or four weeks.

775
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: And then you've got Baltimore tough one. Then you've got Dallas.

776
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: So Humphreys is a guy that you should definitely have

777
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: on your roster or at least on your radar if

778
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: you need a wide receiver. He's still a free agent

779
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: and over sixty percent of leagues on NFL dot Com,

780
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin is also going to be out there too,

781
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: and as long as Deshan Jackson is not in the

782
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: mix because of the injury that he sustained. Um, both

783
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: of these players in an offense that's throwing it a

784
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: ton and how weird is it? I mean, like I

785
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: gotta look it up. I gotta talk to research Um

786
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: after the show. But you're the Buccaneers quarterback, right, gotta

787
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: be QB two behind Patrick Mahomes. Is weird? I mean,

788
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 1: Winston's had twenty two and two straight weeks definitely greater

789
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: than the sum of its parts, because you know, like

790
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: taken individually, you're right, Jameis Winston. The last couple of

791
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: weeks has been pretty good because he wasn't throwing an

792
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: interception and he said he's had one pick in his

793
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: last three games since he replaced Fitzpatrick and that includes

794
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: the game he replaced him, so that which is very

795
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: unjamous like to not throw interceptions, usually just chalk up

796
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: at least one, so that is a plus. Other names

797
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuel's, keep an eye on James Conner. We talked

798
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: about that earlier that it looks like it's not serious

799
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: that he will play, but again, we are in we're

800
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: in cuffing season, right this is the time to start

801
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: hand huffing your running backs for the playoffs. Jalen Samuel's

802
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: is sort of the next guy up there in Pittsburgh

803
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: behind James Conner, so that's want to keep an eye on.

804
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson is an interesting name here because there were

805
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: the reports earlier last week that maybe this is a

806
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: one week issue for Melvin Gordon and that maybe he

807
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: comes back in week fourteen. At that time, that seemed

808
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: like it means Justin Jackson wouldn't be a thing that,

809
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, he would have maybe one week to possibly

810
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: get some things done and then he would go back

811
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: to the bench. But yesterday he was better than Austin

812
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: Eckler when it came to running the foot was Eckler.

813
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: Eckler struggled running the football in the first half. Second half,

814
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: we saw them give it to Justin Jackson. He found

815
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: holes he was a lot more productive. And so what

816
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: makes you wonder what happens even if Melvin Gordon comes back,

817
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: do the Chargers still find a way to try to

818
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: get him on the field. I think either way, I

819
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: think he's worth at least a speculative ad and hold

820
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: on to to figure out what's gonna happen. Yeah, he

821
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: was a guy that I had last week as a

822
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: acculative ad because when you look at the tape, he

823
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: looked good and the Chargers could not get the ground

824
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: game going at all in the first half. They went

825
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: to Justin and suddenly they started having success on the ground.

826
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: So and boy, what a game that was last night.

827
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Dave Dannischeck, I I you know, my apologies.

828
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: I know you're a big Steelers fan, but that was

829
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: a hell of a game. And boy, the oddity of

830
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: the three three calls at the end against the defense,

831
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can say they were trying

832
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: to block that field goal attempt, and uh they kept

833
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: they kept getting off sides. But um that that that

834
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: game one of the more exciting games of the season,

835
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: especially when you consider that the Chargers were down early

836
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: and the Steelers looked like they might boat race them

837
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: and the Chargers came back. Philip Rivers is having an

838
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: m v P type of season, both in reality and

839
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy. Rivers has become one of the better quarterbacks

840
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: in fantasy football who you drafted late. Another quarterback who

841
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: you may be able to wait on next season to

842
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: get in your draft, which is very likely. But um,

843
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: they could not get that ground game going until Jackson

844
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: came in and suddenly this is potentially, depending on how

845
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: long Gordon is going to be out, this could end

846
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: up being a committee situation with him and Austin Ekeler. Yeah,

847
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's the thing. You start

848
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: to wonder about that. And you know, another thing that

849
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: we talked about during our pre show meeting for NFL

850
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live is maybe they don't rush Melvin Gordon back

851
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: next week. You know who they got playing the Bengals.

852
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: They should be able to whoop the Bengals with Justin

853
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: Jackson and Ekeler. They're they're terrible, right and getting that

854
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: win on Sunday Night against the Steelers, I mean that's

855
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: huge because it definitely keeps the Chargers kind of in

856
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: the thick of things. They're still just a game behind

857
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the a f C West there nine

858
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: and three, so they're in. They're in excellent position for

859
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: at least a wild card. Still, they shot at the division,

860
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: So maybe they hold Melvin Gordon out for one more week,

861
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: let him get healthier, and then bring him back saying

862
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: week fifteen, I wouldn't be surprised. And I think it

863
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: was a It was a coming out party, which sounds

864
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: strange because the team has been so good this year,

865
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: but they're sort of seen as the other team in

866
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles because everyone talks about the Rams. No one

867
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: talks about the Chargers really, except for our Matt money

868
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: Smith by the way, who we love and how to

869
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: have a great time calling that game last night. But

870
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: the Chargers, in front of a nationally televised audience, came

871
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: out and said, Hey, the rest of the NFL, we're

872
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Now we've got Joey Bosa back, our

873
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing at an m VP level, and we're ready

874
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: to compete with the Patriots and the Chiefs in the

875
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: a f C. And again, I think they were sort

876
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: of the forgotten team that's played really well. But after

877
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: last night doing that on the Field at Hines Field

878
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: on the road coming back from an early deficit. The

879
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Chargers really made a statement. Yeah, they absolutely did so.

880
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: Uh that could very well impact what they do with

881
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: with Melvin go right. And again, like we said, I mean,

882
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Gordon just gets rested for

883
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs at least maybe in the next week, because

884
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals defense that they could Phil Philkin could go

885
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: for three fifty and three touchdowns without Gordon against that

886
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: defense right now. A couple other names to keep an

887
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: eye on the waiver wired Damien Williams. We mentioned that

888
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: goes along with sort of handcuffing guys. You know, if

889
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: you've got Spencer Ware, then Damian Williams is a name

890
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: you should pay attention to. The Saints defense, which is

891
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: played very well place in three straight games. There you go,

892
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: h and then Keimoth Dixon, who who knows exactly how

893
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: things are gonna work in that Ravens backfield, But Dixon

894
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: is there. He got some touches on Sunday, so he's

895
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: at least worth maybe a dart throw at some point

896
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: in the next week or so. All right, last week

897
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: of the regular season, Monday, moaning time. I sent out

898
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: the tweet, and I will say that I got some

899
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: of the I think we had some of the saddest

900
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: ones because like not only were people you know, sad

901
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: because they lost. For a lot of people, they're done,

902
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: this ended their fantasy seasons. This was this is particularly sad.

903
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: It was the most amount of screenshots. I lost by

904
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: a fraction of a point and I'm out of the playoffs.

905
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: Way better. Uh. We'll start off with a couple of

906
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: while roster decisions. First game Row he sat Tyler Boyd

907
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: over Dion Lewis and Gris Godwin over d J Moore.

908
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: See Deon Lewis man, I tried. I tried to ride

909
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: for him for a while, and I think I'm out

910
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: on Deon Lewis. It's just it's not happening. It's bad.

911
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: Rob Bulls Road. He started cameraon Bright over Jared Cook. Okay,

912
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: that one's on you. Though Jared Cook was a good place.

913
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: He was a good play against the Chiefs. I mean

914
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: it was too but yeah, I mean I can understand

915
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: the thought process there, I can. Jason h going along

916
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: with you guys said about the fort nine and running backs.

917
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: Brita is a roller coaster ride that I'm gonna have

918
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: to get off of. Yeah, dude, that that and that

919
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride will make you sick, and it did

920
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: this past week with him getting hurt. It's just there's

921
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: so much. You just never know what that guy. Now

922
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: Ben wrote something and that's normally you do. You have

923
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: to agree with him. You have to start. These two

924
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: players started, Julio and Luck he was not meant to be.

925
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: And that one's pretty upsetting because those are starters you

926
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: always count on and it happened to so many times.

927
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: There is like five or six like top notch QUARTERBA

928
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks dunk you know, Rogers wasn't Grady Luck, Brady Cam,

929
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: He's Cam. There are some some quarterbacks that you could

930
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: normally lean on, and I think that that to be

931
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: is that's heartbreaking, right that when when those are the

932
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: guys that sort of laying it in our in our

933
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: dynasty league. I started the week off with Ingram and

934
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: Michael Tommas I mean, and those guys are typically well,

935
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: at least Michael Thomas typically good for a nice stat line.

936
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: But Julio, I know, and it's it's wild too, because

937
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens had in a lot of huntre yard receiver

938
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: all season long. Julio had come into that game with

939
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: six straight huntre yard games and unfortunately the eighteen yards.

940
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: The favorable fantasy side of that one was, well, let's

941
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: just put it this way. It went belly up eighteen yards.

942
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: Man alex Ci Rhodes started Julio and mark Ingram. Opponent

943
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: had Terry Cone and Kelsey. It was brutal. Yeah, by

944
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: another how irek boy. He hurt me in our league

945
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: big time, and he came this close to get in

946
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: a long touchdown my homes and my homes just overthrew

947
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: ma homes. He had a little juice in that arm.

948
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: Yesterday he overthrew a couple of guys. I think it

949
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: was kindly also that he overthrew it. Had a touchdown there,

950
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: but um, unfortunately, these are the fantasy points that we

951
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: flement about. That's why it's called Monday Morning. We'll do

952
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: a defensive one. II Sua picked up the Packers d

953
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: bench the Jaguars D. Jags D had fifteen on my bench,

954
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: held luck to under ten. Packers dealing got three points.

955
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: But again the right decision, right the Packers. I mean,

956
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: it just seems so easy right, everything was points where

957
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: the Packers defense being a great and the Jaguars had

958
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: no points against the Bills the prettiest week and the

959
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: Bills are awful. It's almost like predicting the future is hard.

960
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: It is hard. It's fun, but it's hard, and we

961
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: could wrap them all up. I think Carlos probably wrote

962
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: it best here because we had old Thanks to everyone

963
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: who tweeted in. Uh, a lot of missed out playoffs,

964
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: but corlege Road, I don't want to talk about it.

965
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: Goodbye playoffs crying emoji. Yeah, yeah, I think I think

966
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people are So how many leagues did

967
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: you end up in this season? Um? I think I

968
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: am in the playoffs in seven of yeah, right now,

969
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm in seven of ten. I have a shot which

970
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: is probably not gonna happen to be in an eighth,

971
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: but seven out of ten, so I mean I'll take that.

972
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: I mean, look at all you gotta do. You just

973
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: want to get into dance. What's once you're in? Who

974
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: knows what happens? You just want to get into day

975
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: and one of the leagues that I missed the playoffs,

976
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: I outscored the first, second and third place teams, but

977
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: I had the most point scored against me, and we'll

978
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: have an off season conversation about point scored and how

979
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: you should sort of I want to do utilize that

980
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: in the fantasy playoffs. I want to do like an

981
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: off season summit where we bring a lot of different

982
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: people together and we we really dig into the state

983
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: of fantasy football, the state of the union, and how

984
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: we can make it better, how we can make changes.

985
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 1: Like I really think that we should do this, because

986
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: we have these discussions sort of every week about you know,

987
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 1: scoring and lineups and this and that, Like we should

988
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: just like it's us as people from other companies or whatever,

989
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: we just really just talk this thing out and we

990
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: can maybe make a maybe make a video series that

991
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: we don't have a real off season. Were constantly going

992
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: to make a video series out of it. I could.

993
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: I could add my own personal Monday Morning, but this

994
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: one's like kind of bragging. I'm in the playoffs. Bring it,

996
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,560

997
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: my league. And if I won the game, I have

998
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,040
