1
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Coaches and thanks for joining the

2
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Finnish Pros Football Podcast. I'm your host Bobby Sylvester by

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: my side as always is JP Gaale. Today we'll be

4
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: talking about our Week six rankings and making a few

5
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: bold predictions with Dalton del Don of Yahoo dot com.

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Hi Dalton, thanks for joining the show. Hi, how's it going? Um?

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: You caught me at a rough time right now. I

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: was at the Giants Cubs game last night and it's

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: a Giants fan. I'm yet to recover. That was brutal. Now,

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: the guy that you do the podcast with, we had

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: him on last week. He's a Cubs fan, right, Andy. Yeah.

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: A couple of the Yahoo people actually are from Chicago,

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: so that makes it extra difficult to what is wrong

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: with them? This? Yeah, good question. There's plenty of wrong,

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: especially with Andy Barron's not it extends not to this

16
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: his baseball fandom. There's a lot wrong with him. But

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: well we'll get to that another time. But yeah, man,

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: I was at Game seven in the NBA Finals with

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: the Warriors. I was at when the Niners lost in

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: over time, the NFC Championship with the Giants, and then

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: against the New York Giants, and then and then last night,

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: Uh that you know blown, save my mind. I should

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: just stay, consider staying at home instead of going to these,

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, playoff sporting events. You are bad. You're bad luck. Man,

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: it's not good. At least you're in the playoffs. My

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals are sitting at home, and I'm rooting for teams

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: like the Giants, so I typically hate just so the

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: Cubs don't win. Yeah, no one was here about the

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Bay Areas sports people complaining at this stage. I get it.

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: I get it. But still I can go playing for

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: one morning here because I mean, you know what, I

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: conceded that the Cubs are better team, and I figure

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. But then you sit through that, and

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, anything could happen in the game five. I mean,

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: so give me some hope and then have that happened.

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Just just brutal, man. It was ugly. It was real ugly.

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some fantasy football. We had a quick

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a few quick news items that I want to talk about.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Justin force Set signed with the Lions. He's justin for Set,

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: so you know, best case scenario will be a low

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: end RB two in deeper leagues. But if he can

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: get some carries in that offense, there's no one really

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: stopped at him. I can't they can't just keep getting

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: theoretic the ball ten times out of the backfield. I mean,

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: it's it's fine if he's all these receptions, but he's

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: not a feature back. Yeah, that doesn't really move the

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: needle for me too much. I mean, they can't even

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: run the ball, even if they had a stud back

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: in Detroit there, They've always had a problem with that.

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe you did a little a

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: couple bucks in fab or whatever, but that doesn't move

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the needle for me too much. Yeah. I'm just thinking,

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: you pick him up and he has one decent game,

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: maybe someone in your league gets a little over exciting,

55
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you can sell him high. That's that's the only value

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I really see in him. Yeah, it makes sense for

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: me too. Colin Kaepernick's gonna start. Obviously, he's not fantasy

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: relevant unless you're in a QB two two QB league.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: But how does this impact Carlos Hide or Jeremy Curley. Well,

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: it can't get any worse, We'll tell you that much.

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: As a forty nine ers thing and Gabber has just

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: missing so many throws down the field. You know, he

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: ran the ball, okay as far as deep deep Fantasy

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: two QB leads or something, but I'm not expecting anything,

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, the miraculous turnaround. It will be interesting to

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: see a running quarterback in Kelly's system, but who knows

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: if the pro game has passed him by so um.

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's better again, better than what you know,

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: the status quo. But I have him ranked very lowly

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: this week, and I would fire up the Bill's fantasy

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: defense with confidence this week. In fact, I believe I

72
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: have them ranked first over all this week. What is

73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: the absolute best case scenario for Kaepernick? Is there any

74
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: chance he returns to low end QB one eventually. It's

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: interesting because it's unclear how healthy is I know there's

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: this contract issue as well, but it's also twofold. He

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: really lost a lot of weight that that wasn't just

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: total noise undergoing the surgeries in the off season. I

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: actually personally saw him in July at a golf tournament

80
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and I could not believe how thin he was, Like,

81
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, his his cabs were extremely you know thin.

82
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: He also turned into a vegan, and I don't really

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: know if that's had the true effect, but I don't

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: know how I don't know how close to one hundred

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: percent he is, And obviously the last time we saw

86
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: him on a football on a football field was not great.

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: So again, it can't hurt because they're already worth one

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: on one of the worst offenses in the league. But

89
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: m and with that rushing ability, maybe he's obviously someone

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: to keep you all, you know, on the fantasy radar,

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: certainly in deeper and two QB leagues, but it's tough

92
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: to get too optimistic given the talent around him, and

93
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, the performance he displayed the last time we

94
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: saw him. The only other high profile NFL player that's

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: a vegan is Arian Fostering. If that's Kaepernick's future health,

96
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: that does not bode well, right, Yeah, that's a good point.

97
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: I really don't know how much that has affected him.

98
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: But if he is, you know, reportedly like thirty five

99
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: pounds less than he was when he last played, I

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: mean that that obviously is something of a concern, especially

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's figures to take some hits, because he

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: really is going to likely you know, last week saw

103
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: he wouldn't even look at his second and third read.

104
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: It just tucked the ball and run. And in Kelly's offense,

105
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be asked to do more of the same.

106
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, I trust Chip Kelly, though, if he's putting

107
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: him in the offense, I'm sure that he thinks that

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's ready. The interesting thing with Jeremy Curly is

109
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of the guys that I

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: work with who who lives in the Bay Area and

111
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: is a big forty nine Ers fan. He says that

112
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curly runs a lot of the same rights routes

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: as Michael Crabtree and Colin Kaepernick, just did not use

114
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: Michael Krabtree as well as he obviously can be used

115
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: like he's been been being used in Oakland. So do

116
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: you think that Curly at this point just kind of

117
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: dies in his fantasy status. He had a couple of

118
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: people ask him on Twitter, you know my thoughts of

119
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: how this would affect Curly and Tory Smith? And my

120
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: answer be pretty simple. It can't be any worse for

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: Tory Smith. His value was at zero, so there's nowhere

122
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: to go but up there. I still probably wouldn't even

123
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: bother adding him in deeper leagues because Kaepernick was inaccurate

124
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: down field typically and and it can't get much better

125
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: for Curly conversely, because that's basically his upside is the

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: PPR that all those targets he's been peppered with. I

127
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: highly tell it's gonna get better because you know, no

128
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: one really expected him to have any fantasy value and

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: he was pretty decent with Gabbert, So yeah, I could

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: buy into that that it's gonna the actual although the

131
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: switch may help their offense overall, if I'm a Curley owner,

132
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: I would have just hoped for more of the same. Now,

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: the final news is that Eric Decker it looks like

134
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out for the year. He was put

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: on ir Some of us saw this coming. But where

136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: are his targets? And Snap's gonna land? Is it gonna

137
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: get to Quincy and Una or is Brandon Marshall going

138
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: to get those uh, you know one hundred and eighty

139
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: targets we used to see back in the day. Yeah,

140
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: it's such a thin passing tree in New York. I

141
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: mean last week was the first time they completed a

142
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: pass to a tight end. All season, which is pretty remarkable.

143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's great news for Brandon Marshall. Like last

144
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: week was not surprising at all when they faced Pittsburgh

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: having to throw the ball a lot, playing from behind,

146
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: and obviously Matt Fortes really struggled recently. So Marshall's gonna

147
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: be an absolute target hod and the No Noir will

148
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: be a you know, a low end wide receiver three

149
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: a decent guy in PPR formats. But those are the

150
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: two biggest beneficiaries quite clearly. And as you said, yeah,

151
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised either that injury sounded painful, and yeah,

152
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you can safely drop Decker from your fantasy teams. I

153
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: was a big fan of Brandon Marshall going into the season.

154
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it had to do with

155
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: that weird narrative that he bet Antonio Brownie'd have a

156
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: better season. So he's playing for that Rolls Royce, and

157
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I really think he's going to pour it on the

158
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I know that's kind of a

159
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: ridiculous take, but I think there might be something to

160
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, and fantasy owners just have to be so,

161
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, thankful that he's not out for this season.

162
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we all were watching that stand what it

163
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: was it a Thursday night game where it looked like

164
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: he you know, he tore his knee and now here

165
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: he is good to go. He certainly looked healthy last week,

166
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I expect a really you know,

167
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: borderline top five Fantasy wide out numbers moving down the stretch.

168
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's move over and talk about some of

169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: our week six rankings. If you're listening and you guys

170
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: want to follow along, we're going to start at the

171
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: QB position. All you have to do go to Fantasy

172
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: pros dot com click week six rankings under the yellow banner.

173
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: That's our ACR rankings with a consensus of one hundred

174
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: and forty or so experts, including Dalton to myself. You

175
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: can view Dalton's rankings at Yahoo or just listen along

176
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: to see, you know, where he varies from from the consensus.

177
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: So we're starting at the quarterback position. I'm really high

178
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: in Alex Smith this week. He's right now, he's sixteen

179
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: in ECR, and I have him all the way up

180
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: at nine against this Oakland defense. He's been throwing forty

181
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: three pass attempts a game. That's more than Andrew Luck.

182
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: I just think that he's due for maybe his best

183
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: game in the season this week. He's going to throw

184
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: forty plus passes, and if that happens, I think he's

185
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a QB one. Yeah. Before we get too deep into

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: the rankings, let me say that it's still early in

187
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: the week and it's fluid situation, and I always tinker

188
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: with my rankings throughout the week up until game time.

189
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: And I was gone all day yesterday watching this Giant's game.

190
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: So that's my built in excuse before you can mock

191
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: my my rankings. But Alex Smith, I could see bumping up.

192
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: I think I have him nineteen, so I could see

193
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: bumping him up a couple of spots. The Raiders have

194
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: actually allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season,

195
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: so it's certainly a nice set up. Well, I mean,

196
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: obviously when it comes to smith is just the upside

197
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: is typically limited because of their ball control offense. But um,

198
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: I really like um Yeah, he's in a pretty good

199
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: spot in Macklin has been is cheaper and some DFS formats.

200
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: From what I've seen so far, he's a really interesting

201
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't got going, you know too much so

202
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: far this year, but I could see them being forced

203
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: to throw to keep up with Oakland offense. It's pretty

204
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: good and they're giving up what twenty eight points per game?

205
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, the setup here is, you know, these divisional

206
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: games typically aren't great shootouts, but the setup here is

207
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: it's quite possible this one turns into one. Is there

208
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: a player that's kind of a sit start option this

209
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: week that that you're a big believer in sits start?

210
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: You know? The interesting guy to me, I would say

211
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: a start, but a lot of people won't want to

212
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: is assuming Palmer returns that jet secondary has just been

213
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: so bad. But what you know, what do you do

214
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: with him? He's struggled, you know, at this stage of

215
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: his career, dating back to the playoffs last year, but

216
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: the matchups so right, you know, I kind of hedged

217
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: and settled in at number ten, but I could see

218
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: people aggressively treating him as a as a top five option,

219
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: and I could see others just saying, man, at this point,

220
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: you have to prove it before using him. So he's

221
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: really an interesting guy to me this week. You know,

222
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm pretty fond of Blake Bortles as well, going up

223
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: against Chicago with away Brian Horror has been throwing the ball.

224
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a

225
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: high scoring game. I know Bortles hasn't been great, but

226
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's only a matter of time. He's going

227
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: to keep slinging the ball over the yard he runs

228
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he could have a pretty

229
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: nice week, yes, um. And conversely, I think Hoyer is

230
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: surprisingly an interesting go of runder. In that game's forty

231
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: seven points, it's I expected to be close, and everyone

232
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: loves Meredith. I'm sure we'll talk about him, and so yeah,

233
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: A Bortles is a guy who you don't always love

234
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: to watch play because not only can it makes him

235
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: ugly throws, but it's funny that he, you know, at

236
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day is fantasy stats often don't

237
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: match what you what he thought he did, but he's

238
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: sneaky runner. A lot of times he gets his stats

239
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: and garbage time in the fourth quarter. But I like

240
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: both those guys as top fifteen starts this week. Even

241
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: in Hoyer, man, it looks to me like he's not

242
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: going to see the job even to a healthy Jay Cutler.

243
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Now you're really hihing Kirk Cousins this week. So far

244
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: with your rankings, you've got him nine. About the expert

245
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: consensus rankings, What are you seeing that the other experts

246
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: aren't looking into. He's really has these huge home road splits.

247
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: And I understand why people would be hesitant because phillis defense.

248
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: I believe DVOA it might be the number one rate

249
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: of defense so far. So maybe I'm a little bit

250
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: too aggressive to him. They've only allowed three passing touchdowns,

251
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: but I just love the weapons there another world. They

252
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: have allowed just so few stats the Eagles to opposing

253
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: tight ends. It's just remarkable how helpful. I don't even

254
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: think they've allowed one hundred yards total yet. So if

255
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid gets totally taken out of this game, maybe

256
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: maybe I should lower him. I'll have to reevaluate that.

257
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's too high. But Cousins typically far better at home.

258
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: He's you know, he struggled in the red zone early

259
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: in the year, but the yards per attempt, the completion percentage,

260
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: he entered the year with the highest completion percentage ever

261
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: at home. So small sample and all that, but I

262
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I still kind of like Cousins, but I

263
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: could see why this matchup doesn't look great on paper.

264
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm with young cousins. That's why I wanted to talk

265
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: about it. When he's at home, I automatically bump him

266
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: up five. Look, I know the Eagles defense has been

267
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: really good. I don't think it's going to be top

268
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: five the SA season. It's probably they're a good defense.

269
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: All cave in and say I was wrong about that one.

270
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: The Eagles defense is is solid. But her cousins at home, Man,

271
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: I know what you said about them stopping Jordan Read,

272
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: and I've got Jordan Read all the way down at

273
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: tight end number eight this week. But he's got plenty

274
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: of other weapons. I think he uses them and and

275
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: should post a solid game. If you're in a deeper league,

276
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: don't as state to start him. He's not a bad

277
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: start this week at home. Yeah, I don't. I don't

278
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: think so. I think it'll be over under what forty five?

279
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: That's I think there'll be some points work. And the

280
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: thing you gotta love about the setup for him is

281
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: they can't run the ball. You know, they just simply

282
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: cannot run the ball at all. So if they're going

283
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: to score, it's almost certainly going to be through the

284
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: air now. Marcus Mariota. His ECR right now is number twelve.

285
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: He's had a couple back to back real solid weeks.

286
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: You're really low on him this week? Why do you?

287
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: Why is that? You know, he believe total four touchdowns

288
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: last week, which equaled his entire output of the season beforehand.

289
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: So I could just see them having, you know, running

290
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: the ball and kind of having a boring offense in

291
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: this game, playing with the lead. Although I'm surprised they're

292
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: touchdown favorites. I don't know if Tennessee should be touchdown

293
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: favorites over over any team in Cleveland. They might only

294
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: win two games this year, but they've typically held it

295
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: pretty close, and it sounds like they will not have

296
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: to start Whitehurst this week. But I don't know. Mariota

297
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: has just really been a disappointment for me. I liked

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: him entering the year. I mean, you know, we could

299
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: still run the ball, but to me, they're just the

300
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: quarterback position is so deep. I just think it's, yeah,

301
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: the matchup is fine, but there's so many other options.

302
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: I would personally not be, you know, wanting feeling great

303
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: even in a plus matchup, rolling with rolling with Mariota.

304
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: If I'm you know, in a one QB league. Now,

305
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: if it came down to it, Matt Ryan at Seattle

306
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: or Mariota, who would you start there? You know, I

307
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: have Ryan ahead right now, but if I actually had

308
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: this decision, it might be one of those where I

309
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: would maybe I could see flip flopping my rankings here

310
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: because I do not like to set up at all

311
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: the Seattle you know. I said that last week, of

312
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: course at Denver, and he did all right. You gotta

313
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: love Ryan, he's quite clearly the MVP of the league

314
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: through the first five games of the season, but hate

315
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: the matchup there, So I certainly wouldn't fault anyone if

316
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: they chose Mariota over Ryan this week at all. The

317
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: one player that I'm not really buying this week is

318
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Derek Carr right now ECR. He's sitting at number nine.

319
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: I have him all the way down at sixteen. He's

320
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: going up at home against Kansas City, and I know

321
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: that could be a high scoring game. I already talked

322
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: about how Alex Smith might be able to shred Oakland's defense,

323
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: but I think Kansas City's defense is remarkably better than

324
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: they've played so far this season. And Derek Carr I

325
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: mean there's a reason he was being drafted as the

326
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: QB fifteen QB sixteen going into the year. Yeah, he

327
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: started off real hot, but look at his schedule as well.

328
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to keep up. He still

329
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: has a couple of steps to go until he even

330
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: gets into that second tier quarterback range. He's not there yet,

331
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: and so I'm putting him right where he typically belongs

332
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: QB fifteen, QB sixteen against a pretty good defense. Derek

333
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: carrs is such a guy, such a tough guy to

334
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: evaluate in general. I mean, last year, thirty two touchdowns

335
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: with a seven point zero YPA. That's just incongruent. I

336
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: mean that that doesn't make any sense. I mean typically

337
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: that the yards per tempt would be at least a

338
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: half yard higher if you're going to throw that many touchdowns.

339
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: And then here we are again, just a seven point

340
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: two YPA and eleven more scores with just two touchdowns.

341
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's just magic and different

342
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: than than most quarterbacks when it comes to that stat

343
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: and he's just so great in the red zone, but

344
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: it's it's really tough to bank on that continuing. It's

345
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: like a high bab up in baseball. It's just really

346
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to sustain that level of touchdown production

347
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: with that inefficiency, you know, with yards per attempt. But

348
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: if I have them exactly at nine, so I guess

349
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm ranked there with the consensus. So I certainly understand

350
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: what you're saying to The Chiefs have allowed more interceptions,

351
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: They've they've recorded more interceptions and touchdowns this year, so

352
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: it's not the greatest matchup. These divisional games, as I

353
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: mentioned before, often lower scoring than than you know, than otherwise,

354
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: so I can see why you have them a little

355
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: bit lower the consensus. This makes sense to me, I

356
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Car is there's this whole offense in the Raiders. I

357
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: was not quite buying into them totally breaking out, but man,

358
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: they've won already three road games with ten am body

359
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: clock starts for them, so they haven't been impressive even

360
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: if the defense is not. And that's actually a benefit

361
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: for Car and his fantasy owners, is the fact that

362
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: this defense has not played up to the level in

363
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: which many had hoped. Let's step away for a quick

364
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: minute for a word from today's sponsor. Since I got married,

365
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: My wife has slowly been turning over my wardrobe from

366
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: embarrassing close to something she's actually proud of. The problem

367
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: is I hate how all that stuff hits. Then I

368
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: got my hands on the players shirt from Cricket Shirts

369
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: dot Com when they decided to sponsor a show, and

370
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: we both love it. If it's perfectly it's not too baggy,

371
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: not too skinny. It's got that perfect mix of old

372
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: school and modern. It makes you feel like Arnold Palmer JFK.

373
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: And the one certified organic cotton is extremely soft. I

374
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: like to wear it everywhere. I can wear it when

375
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I work, when I'm out of the store at a restaurant.

376
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: It looks great everywhere. I wear it when I'm on

377
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: the core and play with my kids. You'll love it too.

Speaker 1: one word, All right, let's jump back over to some

385
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Now we're going to start out at running back,

386
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: going a different direction, a place where we really disagree.

387
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this Kansas City backfield. You've got spencer

388
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: Ware thirteen above ECR. I've got Jamal Charles ten above ECR.

389
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: And you're the opposite direction on Charles. Now, why do

390
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: you think that spencer Ware is going to get a

391
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: ton of carries? Is it just you know, we haven't

392
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: heard anything about Charles. We haven't seen it yet, so

393
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll just chill there until we hear differently,

394
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: or have you heard something that spencer Ware is gonna

395
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: keep getting a lot of carries? No, that's tough. I

396
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: have no inside information or anything. Maybe I'm too bullish

397
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: on him. I believe he's lost a fumble in three

398
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: straight games, so maybe that will result and that's my

399
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: big in turn. I think they're going to feed Jamal

400
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Charles a ton right from the get go. It's entirely possible,

401
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: but we're talking about it. Back who you know, on

402
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: the wrong side of thirty coming off a second tourn knee.

403
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of a you know, prove it type

404
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: position with him before I use him, but coming off

405
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: the buy, it's possible they go back to him. Obviously,

406
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: I know he entered the year. I don't know if

407
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: he's currently still does. Probably is the highest yards per

408
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: carry ever from the running back position, so he's obviously

409
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: a fantastic player, So I could see it. Maybe I

410
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: probably should lower wear just in case he does not

411
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: see that. But I could see them having to throw

412
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: the ball as we talked about, and that could result in,

413
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, a handful of dump offs to wear. But

414
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: maybe I am too bullish, and maybe this is the

415
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: week in which Charles becomes you know, it starts taking

416
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: a bigger piece of the pie there, you know, don't

417
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: I tend to be a little too optimistic in these circumstances.

418
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: We're a player like Charles that we don't know anything about.

419
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: I want to be ahead of the curve, you know.

420
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: I want to be that guy that you know had

421
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: Charles in there before he blew up. But even if

422
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles gets you know, fifteen to seventeen touches, we

423
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: saw Kansas City runs the ball so much last year

424
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: with an even worse situation. Shark Andrick West and you know,

425
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Ware and all these other guys. They were running

426
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: the ball so much, so why why don't they do

427
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: it with Jamal Charleston Spencer Ware. Maybe Ware gets nine

428
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: ten carries and you know, five or six targets if

429
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: that happens. He's a flex player for sure, right yeah,

430
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: And I think he probably is a favorite to get

431
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: the goal line carries still. I mean, Charles, that's when

432
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: he tore his knee. It was an inside the ten

433
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: yard line that last time on a non contact play.

434
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why you'd even bother banging bodies with

435
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: him at this stage. It probably would keep him out

436
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: of there. So that would be my guests there as

437
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: far as Ware, as far as the touchdowns. But Andy

438
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: Reid's offense, for all his in game management faults, he

439
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: produces for fantasy owners. That backfield is just fantastic regardless

440
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: of who who is back there. So I think there

441
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: will be enough touches to go around. We're both are

442
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: flex type options down the stretch of this season. Now

443
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: you've got Giovanni Bernard. He's another guy that you have

444
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit lower, thirteen spots lower than ECR. Do

445
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: you think this is a big week for Jeremy Hill

446
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: or just not so good for the Cincinnati Bengals run

447
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: deep run offense. Yeah, man, Jeremy Hill, I own everywhere,

448
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: and he's just been such disappointment. Um. I think he's

449
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna be okay with his shoulder injury. That's scare that

450
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: had to remove, had him removed from the last game.

451
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: But m Bernard, I don't know. I mean, the touchdown

452
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: upside is limited. Obviously in PPR formats he gets a

453
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: bit of a boost, but I just don't just don't

454
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: see it with him in New England. I mean, maybe

455
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: this is going to result in them having to pass

456
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the game script. No, they are nine

457
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: point underdogs, so maybe you know Jeremy Hill that he

458
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: can be off the field for most of the second

459
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: half here and that could result in a bunch of

460
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: dump offs. But New England's a pretty decent defense. They're

461
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: at home. I don't know. I mean, Bernard has a

462
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: couple of highlight plays here and there, but he doesn't

463
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: really typically pay the bills. I don't know. I just don't.

464
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: I just don't see a ton of upside with him. Dalton,

465
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: there's a player that I'm just avoiding, like the plague

466
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: this week. Ryan Matthews right now, he's ECRs number fifteen,

467
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: and he's splitting carries with like three other guys. Why

468
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: are all of the other experts believing that Ryan Matthews

469
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's going to start getting all

470
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: these carries and producing. I know it's a good matchup,

471
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: but I'm not seeing it. It's funny. I actually have

472
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: him exactly at fifteenth, so I guess I'm with the

473
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: herd there. I think it's partially as you alluded to,

474
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Washington's allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing backs,

475
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: but I certainly understand the trepidation. It's also just a

476
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: general statement in the running back landscape these days that

477
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: there are just so few options you can feel totally

478
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: confident in. But yeah, I mean to two games ago

479
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: he saw two carries and got minus five yards and

480
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: then was out. The guy's injury prone. He lost a

481
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: fumble last week, which has been a big issue with

482
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: him throughout his career, So I certainly wouldn't fault you

483
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: for lowering him in your rankings. But boy Smallwood didn't

484
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: see a carry last week. Who saw that coming? So

485
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the entire Philadelphia backfield.

486
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: It's a situation ideally you just totally avoid in fantasy terms.

487
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: You know, the interesting thing is, while I have him

488
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: all way down at number twenty eight, there's a real

489
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: chance he could be the number one running back this week,

490
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: like that kind of that kind of thing happens. And

491
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. We know he's efficient when he gets the ball.

492
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of how many touches he's gonna get.

493
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I could see a scenario where he gets

494
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: eighteen carries and is the RB one this week. So yeah,

495
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: maybe I ought to slot him up a little bit.

496
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: That's a real good situation there against Washington. But he's

497
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: burned me so many times. Yeah, he's burned everyone. I

498
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: hear you. I five targets last week is interesting. It'd

499
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: be great if you were involved as a pass catcher.

500
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: That's something that typically he has not been. But if

501
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: that's a sign of things to come, but until his

502
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: next inevitable injury, that would that would make him quite

503
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: a bit more interesting in fantasy terms. But I hear

504
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: you as far as let's actually see it. I mean,

505
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't add more than eleven carries since week one.

506
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: No another player that I'm really low on his Terence West.

507
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: Terrence West has been good, but I think Baltimore wants

508
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: to get Kenneth Dixon involved. I've been saying this the

509
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: last two weeks. It didn't quite happen last week. You know,

510
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: they're slowly mixing him in, but I want to be

511
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: surprised if this week he eats into his carries. If

512
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Terence West doesn't start out as well, maybe Dixon even

513
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: leads the team and carries this week. So well, Terrence

514
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: West is you know, he's a fine flex play. I

515
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: don't see him all the way up at number twenty three.

516
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: How do you feel about him this week? Calton the

517
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: chat's been playing for all their faults, pretty decent defensively.

518
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: And Terence West Man, I loved him as a real

519
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: cheap option in DFS, especially last week, and boy it

520
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: wasn't by no fault of his own. Ninety five yards

521
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: and eleven carries was great, But I don't understand the

522
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: eleven carries had got their offensive coordinator. You know, part

523
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: of the reason he was fired recently because I mean,

524
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm all for throwing the ball. I understand that's how

525
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: you win in the NFL. But when your back is

526
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: such a terrific matchup and you're getting eight point six

527
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 1: yards per carry, you might want to give him more

528
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: than eleven rushing attempts, especially in a close game. And

529
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: he also, you know, if fantasy owner has got a

530
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: bad bad rap, you know bad beat, I should say,

531
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: because he was looking at a goal line score and

532
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: Moseley fumbles the ball after an interception that resulted in

533
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: a touchback, that that odd rule that remains. I assume

534
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: it's going to get changed during the offseason because so

535
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: many people are talking about it. But after the interception lost,

536
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: a fumble out of bounds became a touchback instead of

537
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: a one yard opportunity from the one yard lane for West.

538
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's another one of those situations in NFL

539
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: where it looks like a timeshare. Kenneth Dixon was playing

540
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: with that big knee brace. But obviously he's the long

541
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: term answer. Certainly, that's the hope in Baltimore at the position.

542
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: I cannot figure out what Baltimore is doing. They've got

543
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco at quarterback. I don't think he's a mediocre quarterback.

544
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: I think he's less than mediocre, and he's leading the

545
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: league in past attempts per game. What are they doing?

546
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: They don't really even have any guys to throw to

547
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: and Steve Smith's hurt. Now, I just can't understand why

548
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: an NFL offense would be run in a way so

549
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: contrary to logic. Yeah, crazy. I don't expect a ton

550
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: of attempts this week either, because the Giants. Conversely, they

551
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: just pull the air of the ball and they are

552
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: boring and run the ball and don't get it to

553
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: their best players too, So I could see this being

554
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: another low scoring affair. But yeah, it's bizarre strategy this

555
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: year so far with Flacco that's insane, leading the league

556
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: in attempts, and they've actually benefited from a really easy schedule,

557
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: so I could see that getting ugly and they must

558
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: change it with tougher matchups moving forward. Now I'm seeing

559
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: cameronardis Pain seventeen spots higher in the expert consensus for you,

560
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: and you've also got Fozzy Whittaker fourteen spots higher, sneaking

561
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: up towards flex play territory. So what is it about

562
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: this Panthers run game this week that you like so much? Well,

563
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: that's just very simple. If Jonathan Stewart returns, which it

564
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: sounds like he might, obviously I will adjust that totally.

565
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: I did that early in the week, just thinking that

566
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: Stuart would be out again. But it's no secret I

567
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: think any game in New Orleans over unders fifty three.

568
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: They it's the Coors Field of the of the NFL situation,

569
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: and you just want as many people involved in matchups

570
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: against the Saints as possible. Cameron's pain did get two

571
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: touchdown runs on Monday night. Expect Whittaker would be the

572
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: beneficiary if they're playing from behind in a high scoring

573
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: game with the dump offs. So if Stuart were out,

574
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: I like them both as flex plays and the best

575
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: possible matchup possible. If Stewart returns, then I will dump

576
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: both way lower and probably not even flex options. Now

577
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: talk to me about this Oakland backfield. Obviously, if Filatavious

578
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: Murray comes back, he's going to be the guy. But

579
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: you've got Deandrew Washington at thirty Jalen Richard at thirty one.

580
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: Everyone was hyping Deandrew Washington last week, and he burned

581
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: us all. He burned Hi. I started him in virtually

582
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: every DFS lineup and he burned me. I think a

583
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: lot of people listening can say the same thing. What's

584
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: going to happen this week is they're a bounce back

585
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: in store for him. The situation I've just recommend to

586
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: avoid at all costs. The Chiefs have allowed the seventh

587
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: most fantasy points two opposing backs. But I was right

588
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: there with you. Loved Washington because he was so cheap

589
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: in DFS and obviously he's shown the skills and even

590
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: if he was going to seed some some type of

591
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: Stewart shard, I thought that he would get you know,

592
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: the goal line guy and he can catch the ball.

593
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: But really just a total mess in Oakland. I think

594
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: it's a full blown committee, and that includes a healthy Murray.

595
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: By the way, he probably missed the boat if you

596
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: wanted to move Murray. But I think he's gonna really

597
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: just point based on his ADP. This is a situation.

598
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I just think it's going to be a three headed monster.

599
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: I actually hate that term because none of them are

600
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: going to be monsters. Just a three headed mess in Oakland,

601
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: and I would just really try to avoid it at

602
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: all costs, no matter the matchup. So after Sammy coachs

603
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: big week, which could have been a lot bigger. Had

604
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: he not dropped those two touchdowns, he could have had

605
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. He flew all the way up to number

606
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine ECR. Where do you have him this week?

607
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: Where do I have Sammy Coats? I have him at

608
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: thirty two, but I could see bumping him up. I

609
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: guess he's now currently dealing with the pretty big cast

610
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: on that hand. That's part of the reason for the

611
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: drops was a laceration on his hand. But yeah, obviously

612
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: he's dealt with that issue of his whole career, so

613
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make total excuses. I had him

614
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: going as another chief option in a lot of DFS formats,

615
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: and that one paid off despite the drops. Man, he

616
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: had at least four or five, and as you said,

617
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: two of them would have gone for scores. But at

618
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: the same time, he has a He's recorded a catch

619
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: for forty plus yards in every game this season. The

620
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: seventy two yarder to open last week was really nice.

621
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: All the rest just seem like icing on the cake.

622
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Yet you still were frustrated, you know, wanting more because

623
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: of those opportunities that he left on the field. But

624
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: he loved this offense Marcus Wheaton is just a very

625
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: ham and egger wide receiver. Three In real life, Coats

626
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: is the guy with the upside. He's going to be

627
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: more of a GPP play as they you know, as

628
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: they say in dfs because of the He's more of

629
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: a boom or bust with those the A dot is

630
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: going to be so high, you know, as opposed to

631
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: cash games. But but man, at the end of the year,

632
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: the numbers are going to be there. I think he's

633
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: going to be one of those guys who could win

634
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: your league for you because he was so cheap at

635
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: draft tables and in this offense. If Rob Spurger can

636
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: stay healthy. The upside is Mamma, Sammy Coates annoys me

637
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: so much because I'm just I'm so scared when I

638
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: rank him, I don't know what to do. Everything in

639
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: me tells tells me to rank him lower than ECR

640
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: every single week because eventually he's got to regress towards

641
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: him and he can't catch a forty yard touchdown pass

642
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: every week, right, but he keeps doing it, So I

643
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I'm just going to leave

644
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: him right there where the ECR is. He's my number

645
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: thirty wide receiver right now. But he's a really interesting case, right.

646
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: The funny thing with him too is just like he's

647
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: probably unlikely to finish in between twenty and forty, although

648
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: he probably should be ranked at thirty. He's more likely

649
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: to finish top ten or bottom fifteen. Really, I mean,

650
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: that's the thing with him. But at the end of

651
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: the day, you have through these rankings and that's why

652
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: he lands at thirty. Now. You mentioned camera Meredith earlier

653
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: with Brian Horror. Obviously Brian Hoyer loved throwing to him.

654
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: What do you think it was that a fluke last

655
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: week or is he going to start getting a lot

656
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: of targets? So I put him right around the coats

657
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: area and obviously you'd love to see it more than

658
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: just once. But he got some hype and he looks

659
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: good in practice apparently, and it wasn't a total fluke

660
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: in the sense that he saw twelve targets, a team high.

661
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: And this is with Eddie Royal active. You know, there

662
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: was some concern that he would be inactive after missing

663
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: practice all week, but he played a full compliment of

664
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: snaps and Meredith still got a dozen touches. Sorry, targets

665
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: twice as many as Elshan Jeffrey. I don't know what

666
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: to make him. Jeffrey. I thought he'd either be highly

667
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: productive or hurt, and instead he's been on the field

668
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: game and not scoring, so go figure. But Meredith is

669
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: definitely a guy that I assume was bit on aggressively

670
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: in FAB this week, and I think I have him

671
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: right around thirtieth, right around Coats area as a wide

672
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: receiver three. And I don't know. I'm actually kind of

673
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: optimistic about him moving forward this this setup. They can't

674
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, they don't play great defense. Hoyers is really

675
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: getting it done. I really like Jordan Howard though. I

676
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: think they can run the ball. But these matchups have

677
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: been so good and they continue to be in the

678
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: short term. So I'm rolling with Meredith right now. All right,

679
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: So I found one where we really disagree. I've got

680
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas higher than ECR. He's number thirty eight ECR.

681
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: He's going up against Carolina. I think that this is

682
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: a big game for him. Sneed's kind of disappeared and

683
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is emerging. There's a lot of hype coming

684
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: out of him in the for him in the preseason,

685
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: and for good reason, he's going to be a very

686
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: good NFL player. I think he could start this week.

687
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: And you're really low on Thomas. You have him all

688
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: the way down at number fifty. Sou talk me into

689
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: some reason here, Dalton, we'll come off of buy. I

690
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: just kind of think Sneet is going to be back

691
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: to full health, and he was so good early on

692
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: in the year, so I think that's probably my main argument.

693
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: But having said that, this team has to throw the

694
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: ball always because of their terrible defense, and Thomas does

695
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: have twenty targets the last two games, including each of

696
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: which he's scored, So this is one that I will

697
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: have to reevaluate. And I probably have him too low, admittedly,

698
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: because they just throw the ball so frequently, even if

699
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: he is third banana there. I'm not a Kobe Fleaner believer,

700
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: so I think that the third white out can see

701
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: upwards of ten targets comfortably, So I probably have him

702
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: too low. Fair enough, I'll bump up Michael Thomas now,

703
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, you've also got really low. I've got him

704
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: pretty high just because of where he was in the preseason,

705
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: what we saw last season from him, I know he

706
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: has been really bad, and I've ranked him hired in

707
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: ECR virtually every single week this season. I'm sure it's

708
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: a bit me every week because he hasn't been very good.

709
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: But you know, when a player has that kind of

710
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: skill set, he's a number two player on an offense

711
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: that I think he's going throw a lot. I'm just

712
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: prone to believe that Golden Tate is a is still

713
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: a flex worthy player. Tell me why he's not. I

714
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: hate to overrate small samples, but this has just been ugly.

715
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy because in the past he

716
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: was so much better when Calvin Johnson was hurt and

717
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: out of the lineup, so he figured with his retirement,

718
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: Tate's gonna skyrocket his value. But it's just been really

719
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: brutal so far, and especially coming off a week in

720
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: which the coach said Tate's gonna be fine, We're gonna

721
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: pepper him, give him better opportunities after he was benched

722
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: after running the wrong route the resulted in an interception

723
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. You know, he came out with just

724
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: five targets in thirty nine yards. It was another ho

725
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: hum effort. So at this point we're five games into

726
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: the year. This isn't baseball. This is already a third

727
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: of the way in your fantasy season. I need to

728
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: prove it game for me when it comes to Tate,

729
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's never been like a true superstar. I mean,

730
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: sure he's valuable in PPR formats, but the touchdowns has

731
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: always been limited with him. So I don't know at

732
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: this stage. I would think it takes some guts to

733
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: roll with him. I'm really worried about him. I think

734
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: that makes sense. You said in small sample size. I

735
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's a small sample size. I mean that's

736
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: that's plenty of sample size to see that he's just

737
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: struggling so much. Right now, one player who's not struggling

738
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: so much is Sterling Shepherd. You're a little bit low

739
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: on him right outside of flex play in normal ten

740
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: team leagues. So what is it about Shepherd that you're

741
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: low on? Well, I love the setup. Last week, a

742
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay had the lowest yards per carry against in

743
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: the second highest yards perpass attempts. So it's just a

744
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: perfect setup, especially since their offense is really good at home.

745
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: So I just thought that the Giants are gonna have

746
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: to throw the ball a lot. And Shepherd, I believe

747
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: he had about eighty yards or a touchdown in every

748
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: game so far in his brief career, but he really disappointed.

749
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just don't know what to

750
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: make of these entire Giants. I'm I'm tied to Odell

751
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Beckham in a very important, big money league, and he's

752
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: just been such a disappointment. So man, it's just kind

753
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: of a mess in New York, Frankly, and I just

754
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Shepherd's maybe I have him

755
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: a little too low, but I just the Giant's passing

756
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: attack has just been brutal, and I don't know what

757
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: to make of it. Felton this week. I'm a huge

758
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: believer in Tennessee's defense. I've got them all the way

759
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: up at number two, and this is a defense that

760
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: everyone thought was going to be abysmal again this season.

761
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: They've actually been pretty good. Part of the reason they've

762
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: been good is because they're controlling the ball so much.

763
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: I think they're going to do a ton this week,

764
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, having the lead against Cleveland and so I

765
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: think they'll hold them under twenty points. But I also

766
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: think they're due for several turnovers, maybe a touchdown here,

767
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: because who's going to be their quarterback? Kessler might play, right,

768
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: but that would really be a long shot. Whitehurst might

769
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: be their quarterback. I don't know. Maybe they'll roll out

770
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Terrell prior we've we've talked about that like four times,

771
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: kind of as a joke, but like, what are they

772
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: going to do now? They don't have any options? So

773
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee has to be a real good play

774
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: this week, right, Yeah, that was a top five start

775
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: this week for all their faults, and they're disappointing a

776
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: record they I believe that four touchdowns allowed through the

777
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: air and six interceptions, twelve sacks, So defensively they've quietly

778
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: been very decent and as you said, the quarterback situation

779
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: a total mess in Cleveland. Even if Kessler does play,

780
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: he'll be banged up and far less than one hundred percent.

781
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: So it's a terrific matchup at home. Touchdown favorites probably

782
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: unowned in the vast majority of league, certainly before this

783
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: latest waiver wire is you know Span So yeah, absolutely

784
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: a plug and play flyer for the by far the

785
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: best one this week is Tennessee. Now you've got the

786
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears as a startable defense in standard leagues. ECR

787
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: has them number twenty one, So this is probably your

788
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: boldest ranking right now, and it's faced Jacksonville. I know

789
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: Bortals have been turned the ball over a lot, but

790
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: Chicago's defense it has not been very good. So what

791
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: are you thinking here? Yeah, that's interesting. Typically jackson of

792
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: the last drap believe they were the number one fantasy

793
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: for your opponents. They allowed the most points for your

794
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: fantasy defense. Bordals just as a turn over machine, and yeah,

795
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: maybe this score. They do put up the points, but

796
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: the Bears have not been actually terrible, the middle of

797
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: the pack in yards per attempt eleven sacks. I know

798
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: that was buoyed by getting to face Andrew Luck who's

799
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: on pace for sixty five sacks this year. But I'm

800
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: at home. I don't know. I'm just not a believer

801
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville's offense. They get it done in fantasy terms,

802
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: but in real life it's always an issue. You know,

803
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: there's a real threat of a pick six every single week.

804
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: So um, it's partially that and then the other the

805
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: other partially is I do not like a lot of

806
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: the matchups in the back half here. I mean, I

807
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: really after the first ten or so defenses or maybe

808
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: even to that spot at the Bears. Um, I don't

809
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: really see. I think it actually gets ugly if you

810
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: don't have an elite option in defense this week, I

811
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: really don't. I don't see many interesting, you know, deeper

812
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: options this week, Dalton, the Bears were not even on

813
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: my radar. You're big time talking me into it. I

814
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: play in a couple of fourteen team leagues, and I'm

815
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: not sure who to pick up because someone already snatched Tennessee.

816
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: I think I might just roll with Chicago. That makes

817
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. Yeah, well, I hope

818
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: I'm right, and it's certainly in UM. In dfense, they'll

819
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: be dirt cheap. I'm telling you at home, you get

820
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: portals on the road. He's just so prone to these mistakes. Again,

821
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, he'll probably

822
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: have a big fourth quarter and his fantasy owners will

823
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: be happy. But he was taken seven sacks the last

824
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, five interceptions the last three games. I don't know.

825
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I just really I just think the turnover issues or

826
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: remain in Jacksonville. So yeah, the Bears, I guess are

827
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: my my deep sleep or sneaky play of the week.

828
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, Chicago's a real tough place to play too.

829
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: It's it's windy, so quarterbacks throw a lot more interceptions,

830
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the ground is just you know, it's

831
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: it's a professional football field. So obviously the ground is

832
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: better than what we play on when we play pick

833
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: up football or whatever. But compared to the rest of

834
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: the NFL fields, for whatever reason, it's still behind. Yes

835
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: it is. And I also am just kind of interested

836
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: in this offense. I think the Bears you're gonna gonna

837
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: put up points, and that's that's what you want. You

838
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: want your fantasy defense playing with the lead, and you

839
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: want the opposition having to throw the ball a lot.

840
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: I really could see that set up perfectly here for them.

841
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, Dalton, we're gonna move over and make some

842
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: bold predictions. Now we're gonna make one at each position.

843
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting at quarterback and then we'll go with your

844
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: quarterback call. I'm taking Russell Wilson as the number one

845
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: quarterback this week face Atlanta. We know that they've given

846
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: up just a ton of touchdowns. Russell Wilson's coming off

847
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: the bye Jimmy Graham is a different player than than

848
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: maybe we've ever seen in his career coming out of

849
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: the slot. Doug Baldwin's finally completely healthy. He should be

850
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: at least coming off the bye. Christine Michael, I think

851
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: is going to be a real nice help for him.

852
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson has one of his classic games

853
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: where he explodes for thirty Fantasy points and he's the

854
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: QB one. I really like that call. I think that

855
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: the Falcons can put up points as well, which is

856
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: going to have to, you know, force the Seahawks to

857
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: throw more than they typically would have to in a

858
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: home game. So really really like Russell Wilson this week.

859
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: I totally agree. And the Falcons, by the way, I've

860
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: been getting shredded by tight end, so I didn't get

861
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: big game from Jimmy Graham my Bowld call. I will

862
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: say Dak Prescott finishes is a top five fantasy quarterback

863
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: this week. I already talked about Green Bay just being

864
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: such a great setup because they defend the run so

865
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: well and yet get shredded a via the pass. And

866
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: Dallas wants to play this ball control, slow it down offense,

867
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: but they might be forced out of that comfort zone

868
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: over under forty seven and a half points. In this game,

869
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Packers should put up points at home. Dallas may struggle

870
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: to run forcing them. It may result in his first

871
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: career interception, but man, this efficiency even without Dez Bryant,

872
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean you have to you have to. I know

873
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: everyone gets hyped with the Dallas quarterback, but man, at

874
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: eight point zero yards per attempt, he can run the ball.

875
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: So I think Dak Prescott is a sneaky guy who's

876
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna again. It may result in an interception, but at

877
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's going to result in

878
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: a career high pass attempts and a top five Fantasy

879
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: QB this week. You know, until the Packers get Sam

880
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: Shields back, he's he's still in concussion protocoll, which is

881
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: just really sad. You hate to see a player like

882
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: that a deal with something like that. But you know,

883
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: until Sam Shields is back, I'm picking on green based

884
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: defense every single week. So yeah, I've got Dak Prescott

885
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: in my top ten. Top five is a bold call,

886
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: but I like it. I like it a lot. Moving

887
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: on a running back, I've got a bolder one than

888
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback one, and it's that Derrick Henry is going

889
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: to score two touchdowns. I have Derreck Henry as a

890
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: top twenty running back this week, but for my bold prediction,

891
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm going Derrick Henry kinnish his top ten. I know

892
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: he's a backup running back, but we see seen it

893
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: with Tevin Coleman, and I think Tennessee is going to

894
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: utilize the run of Ton against Cleveland, and for good reason.

895
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland's just their run defense is abysmal. Derrick Henry is

896
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of work in this game

897
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: if Tennessee takes a big lead, and I don't see

898
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: any reason why why he can't put up five six

899
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: yards per carry and maybe break off a big touchdown.

900
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: So I like Derrick Henry is a top ten running

901
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: back this week. Man. I have Derrick Henry in a

902
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: few NFFC leagues in which I drafted him aggressively, and

903
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: BOYD DeMarco Murray's just looks so impressive. I really thought

904
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: Henry would be a monster right away. But I hope

905
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: you're right. I thought I thought Henry was going to

906
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: steal that job in quickly. Me too, Yeah, So but

907
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: that I like that call. The matchup is there, and

908
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: Henry still probably would be an immediate guy that could plug.

909
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: You could plug in your lineup every week if something

910
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: were to happen to Murray. My bold call, I'll make

911
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: it even. I think I have him around nineteenth this week.

912
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: But I will say Melvin Gordon is not a top

913
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: twenty five fantasy running back this week. Obviously the matchup

914
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: isn't great against Denver, but man, this is just it

915
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: could not be a more obvious sell high candidate to me.

916
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: He's scored in every game this year, so obviously the

917
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: numbers are there view if you click your rankings, I'm

918
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: sure he's been a top five fantasy back this season.

919
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: No Woodhead has resulted into a ton of touches, but

920
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: he's lost a fumble and back to back games, which

921
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: has been a problem for him. Only targeted once last week. Yes,

922
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: he took it to the house, but if that's a

923
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: sign of maybe mccluster. I know mcluster didn't play too

924
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: many snaps, but man, I don't know. He's had the

925
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: best possible matchups you could imagine. At home against Jacksonville

926
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: against the Colts, at home against the Saints, against the Raiders,

927
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: and he has three point four yards per carry. I mean,

928
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: he's just not getting it done. Yeah, the volume may remain,

929
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: so he'll be an RB two the rest of the way.

930
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: But I just expect a much worse second half of

931
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. And it starts this Thursday night. Dalton, this

932
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: is a little boring because we keep agreeing. I think

933
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: this is another great take. I have also got Melvin

934
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: Gordon a lot lower. Now I'm still starting, but I'm

935
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: not happy about it because I don't think it's gonna

936
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: be a good week. But I mean, this is a

937
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: guy who had zero touchdowns last year. He had as

938
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: many touchdowns as Tim Tebow. Now he didn't hit as

939
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: many homers, but you know, he had zero touchdowns and

940
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: he's bound to regress. He's been scoring so many touchdowns.

941
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: I talked about it on a radio show this morning

942
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: that Melvin Gordon is the ultimate sell high candidate right now.

943
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: If he is on your team and you're not trying

944
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: to trade him, you're going to be disappointed. I think

945
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be very disappointed. And this is the week

946
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: to trade him. He better because they're playing Thursday night

947
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: faced Denver, and he's going to get destroyed and all

948
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, that stock plummets. All right, at wide receiver,

949
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm taking multiple touchdowns from another obscure guy. This is

950
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: someone that almost nobody's going to start. In fact, he's

951
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: probably available in your league. But he's been getting more

952
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: and more snaps the more he has been learned in

953
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: the offense. He is one of I think he is

954
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: one of the most five or six talented wide receivers

955
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: in the world. And it's Dyeal Greenbeckham. If you watch

956
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: this guy play, he gets so many jump balls. I'm

957
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: not sure if there's anyone better in the NFL getting

958
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: jump balls. The stats last year said that he was

959
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: perfect at jump balls. I think that boats really well

960
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: for the red zone. He's gonna pass up Nelson Aguilar.

961
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it happens this week in terms

962
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: of snaps, but he's been trending that direction. I think

963
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has another big game against just a terrible

964
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Redskins defense, and I think Dorial Greenbeckham this is his

965
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: party where he breaks out, and if I've got him

966
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: on my team, I'm taking a chance. I'm putting Hi

967
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: not the flex. It's you know, it's a lottery ticket.

968
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: But I think he is ready to go off. I

969
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: like it. Okay, I'm gonna go with John Brown is

970
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: a top twelve Fantasy wide receiver this week. Is coming

971
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: off a bad game. You could just totally throw that out.

972
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: I was at that ugly game in San Francisco on

973
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: Thursday night with Drew Stanton. I expect, assuming Palmer returns

974
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: the game before that, Brown was back. He recovered from

975
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: those concussion issues which was costing in practice and clearly

976
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: out of the game plan. So before this last week

977
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: with the backup QB, he had seen twenty seven targets

978
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: the previous two games, including a big effort ten catches

979
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four yards against the Rams. The

980
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: Jets have allowed the highest the most yards per tenth

981
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: this year at nine point two opposing passer rating one

982
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: eighteen point six nineteen plays already twenty plus yards, eight

983
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: plays of forty plus passing connections, which is the second

984
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: highest NFL. That works perfectly for John Brown and is

985
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: down the field ball skills. So I think John Brown

986
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: is a very sneaky play to be a wide receiver

987
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: one this week. That those are some ugly stats that

988
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: is so bad. I don't like John Brown. I refuse

989
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: to have him on any of my teams because I

990
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: can never trust starting him because he puts up those

991
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: stinkers like five six times a year, and obviously he's

992
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: gonna have those two or three weeks where he just

993
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: totally he wins you the league. It doesn't matter how

994
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: the rest of your players do. He's gonna put up

995
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: twenty five points every once in a while and win.

996
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: And I could see that happening this week. But I

997
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: just don't like John Brown. I don't want him on

998
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: any of my teams. I'm always disappointed. No, it's fair.

999
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: He's definitely a boom er bus because of the you

1000
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: know that he relies on the big play and that's

1001
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: obviously gonna hurt your consistency. But you said he might

1002
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: win you a couple, you know, a couple of weeks

1003
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: single handlely each year. I'm saying this is the week

1004
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: he does. So, yeah, yeah, that's an interesting call. Now

1005
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: moving over to tight end to close it out, I'm

1006
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: going with another guy who's completely off the fantasy radar.

1007
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: He's only one percent of leagues, but he's also the

1008
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: most efficient tight end when he gets the ball thrown

1009
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: to him in the NFL this season. He's a rookie,

1010
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: he's learning the playbook, He's in a great offense. He's

1011
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: also been moving up in the snap count, He's now

1012
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: up to thirty percent. But this week is a perfect

1013
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: matchup for him to break out. He's going at Seattle

1014
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: and we know they're terrible defending the tight end. As

1015
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: good as they are at everything else, they're terrible defending

1016
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: the tight end. And Matt Ryan is going to be

1017
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: throwing the ball a ton. I think Austin Hooper ends

1018
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: up getting a lot more snaps this week because of

1019
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: the type of game it's going to be. And Austin

1020
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 1: Hooper is going to be the guy that everyone's talking

1021
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: about picking up this time next week. I'm not sure

1022
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: how good his stat line is going to be, but

1023
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: he's going to take over as the number one tight

1024
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: end this week in Atlanta, and he's got a great

1025
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: athletic profile for a tight end. I like him a lot.

1026
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: I think he is a big week here. I like

1027
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: that call. Okay, so I real quick. I think Jimmy

1028
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: Graham's gonna finish with the best numbers among tight ends,

1029
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: and I will say Jordan Reed is not a top

1030
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: ten fantasy tight end this week. It's real simple. I

1031
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: alluded to it earlier in the podcast. The Eagles have

1032
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: allowed eight catches for fifty two yards to posing tight ends.

1033
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: Of course, that partially comes down to the opponents and

1034
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but man, that is really really ugly

1035
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: and low. I love Jordan read the player, and I'm

1036
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: it's just bizarre to me that they are not targeting

1037
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: him more inside the red zone. It's it's not a

1038
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: mystery to me why that team has struggled in the

1039
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: red areas because they're not featuring him enough. You're probably

1040
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna obviously play him because you trapped him high. But

1041
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: if you want a bold call, I'm gonna say he

1042
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: finishes outside the tight end one numbers in week what weekly?

1043
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: In week six? Yeah, I mean I already mentioned I

1044
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: have him down at number nine. That's not a bold prediction.

1045
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: That's that's my projection. I think he has is a

1046
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: bad week, So yeah, I could definitely see that happening.

1047
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: And I also have Jimmy Graham is my number two

1048
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: tight ends. So oddly enough, we're in complete agreement with

1049
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: these bold predictions. And it'll be fun to see how

1050
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: they work out for us. Yeah, absolutely good stuff man.

1051
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on and for those of you

1052
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: listening at home, we've got one more episode coming up

1053
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: this week with Jared Court to talk about some dfs.

1054
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: Tune him for that episode. We've got three more coming

1055
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: up next week. Thanks for listening and enjoy your football.

1056
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted you to watch me Deserve start. God,

1057
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to get the street works Sad,

1058
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: kicking and trouble
