Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever to Do Do Do Do, Don Do, Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Dinna do. Yeah, this is the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Fast Friends Forever here on the Fantasy and Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network alongside Braggy Snample. I am Greg Sauceman. Rag what's
Speaker 1: going on on it? Three? Note it self? Not enough
Speaker 1: time to use the bathroom before the show. Now when
Speaker 1: you come up with one minute deal before the show
Speaker 1: go on, let's go on. Freddy strolled back in here.
Speaker 1: I was like, we're on the air. Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I thought we had more time than I than we did.
Speaker 1: Big win for the for the g Men last night,
Speaker 1: Greig Big Blue rate unbelievable. This team can't even lose. Right,
Speaker 1: it's amazing, absolutely amazing a competent quarter No, he didn't.
Speaker 1: I am so sick of his take. He three touchdowns? Dude,
Speaker 1: do you realize how many how terrible throws he had?
Speaker 1: He did have a lot of how the Giants got
Speaker 1: battled out by BS penalties in the last drive he
Speaker 1: did a joke, Amen, they would have had the first
Speaker 1: overall pick if it wasn't for this nonsense. At least
Speaker 1: your quarterback throws such sound. Yes, even the touch to
Speaker 1: Sterlian Shepherd was a terrible throw. But the thing that
Speaker 1: you don't really have to worry about from the Giants
Speaker 1: perspective in the draft is nobody else around them needs
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Just one who's that? That's one. When the
Speaker 1: Raiders cut Derek Carr, that's an issue, you think, so
Speaker 1: you also of the issue of the farther down you
Speaker 1: go teams that do you need a quarterback? Though? Trade off? Yeahalistically,
Speaker 1: how many more games are the Giant's gonna win? Like
Speaker 1: the Bronco's gonna trade up somewhere and then get a
Speaker 1: quarterback Broncos? Yeah, what happened? Correct? The Raiders when they
Speaker 1: trade away or release Derek Carror whatever, they're gonna need
Speaker 1: a quarterback. This is awful, but John Gruden has the
Speaker 1: utmost faith in the in this quarterback. Let me be
Speaker 1: so upset when this team doesn't get just nerv I
Speaker 1: think we'll be so upset. Alright, So Tampa Bay in MetLife,
Speaker 1: that's actually a very winnable game. Yeah, I know it's
Speaker 1: a disaster. Everything else on the schedule, like maybe Dallas
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, but Billion week twelve in Philly not
Speaker 1: winning that against Chicago and MetLife not winning that at Washington,
Speaker 1: not winning that at home against Tennessee. Maybe, but Tennessee
Speaker 1: is playing good ball at Indianapolis. They're playing good ball
Speaker 1: and they're probably gonna need that win. And in Dallas
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, which maybe Dallas will need that win.
Speaker 1: Like this week is like this team, this team goes
Speaker 1: four and twelve, This is a disaster. What are they
Speaker 1: not in seven? They're not gonna win two more games.
Speaker 1: I think that most of win one more, three and thirteen.
Speaker 1: That would get you at least top three. I want,
Speaker 1: I want one, I want. But the Raiders are not
Speaker 1: winning another game. You don't think they can't put one
Speaker 1: more out nope. And they played the Cardinals this week,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about this later on. The Cardinals are
Speaker 1: probably my favorite defense stream of the week. I picked
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Everybody told you last week, I think it's Sinnati.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: I picked the Arizona. Thank god their defensive coordinator was
Speaker 1: just fired, right, so I picked up Arizona. Jackson was hired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big morale boost for the Bengals. There Weaver Wire Week eleven,
Speaker 1: Grady gosh Man. For most people, there's really only three
Speaker 1: moreular season weeks, and in the playoffs start Week fourteen.
Speaker 1: That's when a lot of fantasy playoffs started. We have
Speaker 1: three weeks. Yeah, we're there. Six teams on a bye
Speaker 1: this week too. It's tough. Waiver wire not great this
Speaker 1: week either. It's not the it's not the best. It's
Speaker 1: definitely not. I don't think it's the worst either, though
Speaker 1: I would say it's somewhere in the middle. I know
Speaker 1: you've been so I know there's been like a lot
Speaker 1: of injuries this year, and there's a lot of injuries
Speaker 1: every year. It doesn't feel like that we've had that
Speaker 1: many great waiver wire pickups this year. I think you
Speaker 1: you think that way because of the running back. The
Speaker 1: wide receiver pickups have been outside of Tyler Boyd, who
Speaker 1: are the guys you know Tyler Boyd? And that was
Speaker 1: a week one pickup. But outside of Tyler Boyd, which
Speaker 1: is literally week one, you didn't pick him up because
Speaker 1: anyone was injured. He picked him up because hey he
Speaker 1: had a good week. That's fine. Outside of Tyler Boyd.
Speaker 1: Like who had been the big waiver wire pick ups
Speaker 1: for the first ten weeks of the season. I lock
Speaker 1: it might have been picked up. He was going probably sure,
Speaker 1: see who we got here? John Brown was a waiver red.
Speaker 1: He's been has been terrible. It's the top thirty wide receiver.
Speaker 1: It's the weeks. Not a GameBreaker. Move on, He's not
Speaker 1: a game breaker. But I mean, where's your GameBreaker running
Speaker 1: back to just I agree? Is what I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: There's not been a great waiver wire year. When you
Speaker 1: do like awards the end of the season waiver people
Speaker 1: of the Year, it's like, all right, Tyler Boyd, fine,
Speaker 1: like who else? Who else in the running? James Connor
Speaker 1: was a weird situation. It was and on the flip
Speaker 1: side of that, And I've heard a lot of people
Speaker 1: talk about this Levion Bell the biggest bust of all
Speaker 1: time and fantasy football because it's not injury related, of absolutely,
Speaker 1: But I've also heard a counter argument whereas, at least
Speaker 1: for the other people that have busted, like the biggest
Speaker 1: bust of all time, they were in your lineup and
Speaker 1: hurting you. At least let On Bill has not been
Speaker 1: in your life. That's fair, that's fair argument. But for
Speaker 1: people who drafted Levion Bell and did not get James Conner,
Speaker 1: allah me, it has not been great. Although in the
Speaker 1: one league where I did that, I'm six and four,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean to manage to string
Speaker 1: string a few together here by the way, I know
Speaker 1: no one feels bad for um the Terps. Ever, to
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks they have they have a problem with quarterbacks
Speaker 1: tearing a c L is. A couple of seasons ago,
Speaker 1: four different quarterbacks on their team to ra c LS.
Speaker 1: Um so this is the last year, uh, two quarterbacks
Speaker 1: they fixed their field or something. Last year two quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to ra c LS, and now this year they're starting
Speaker 1: quarterback tour his other a c L. Maybe we should
Speaker 1: put you in a bubble dude. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: Greg Susman, I'm gonna come wheeling in here on a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be It's not gonna be a quarterback
Speaker 1: in the University of Maryland. So I'm good. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you went there, so maybe like you have the juju,
Speaker 1: maybe have the bad juju. Smith Schuster, No, that's the
Speaker 1: good juju Maryland, very bad juju. Not great Bob terps On.
Speaker 1: They won't last night though, by the way. Oh and
Speaker 1: for those wondering, you know, I brought it up yesterday,
Speaker 1: big frank up fifteen facing state Kwon Barkley, I was
Speaker 1: texting managed to pull out the W I was texting you, man, Oh,
Speaker 1: that was one of my most stressful Monday night football
Speaker 1: games watching because obviously se Kwan gets that that big
Speaker 1: reception and brings it down into like inside the five
Speaker 1: yard line, gets a couple of runs there, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is it. Like I watched the entire
Speaker 1: game thinking I have a chance he's gonna score a
Speaker 1: touchdown here in the last drive and put me in
Speaker 1: my grave. Eli Manning, my man sterling Shepherd. I thought
Speaker 1: you were done. You were so screw one of the
Speaker 1: most flukey six and four teams of all time. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you I'm the Miami Dolphins of my fantasy league,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to be that. I'm not a
Speaker 1: good I don't have a good team. I have the
Speaker 1: third most fantasy point a third few is fantasy points
Speaker 1: in the league. I'm six and four. Rememb by the
Speaker 1: way that at least I think it's longer than the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter yesterday last night, and they just didn't throw
Speaker 1: it to Georgie Kittle. What are you doing? Dominated Why
Speaker 1: did you stop throwing George Kittle? Yeah? What do you have?
Speaker 1: Eight for ninety three? Just absolutely monster game with Nick
Speaker 1: Mollins as the quarterback. And there wasn't the same a
Speaker 1: hand and it wasn't even the Iowa connection. We've had
Speaker 1: so many jub whispers in the past, Adam Gaze being
Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, he's doing a great job with
Speaker 1: Brock Oswelder right now. Um Shanahan is probably the QB
Speaker 1: whisper Greg to be honest with, I mean, it's look,
Speaker 1: he made the most out of C. J. Bethard as
Speaker 1: his quarterback. Now is a third string scout teening quarterback
Speaker 1: quarterbacking his team in Nick Mullins, and he's at least
Speaker 1: looked competent. Give me, Garoppolo looked like like all of
Speaker 1: Famer last year in those final five or six games.
Speaker 1: How Sanahan, that's the quarterback whisper. Yeah, definitely a quarterback
Speaker 1: west Bers. I think it's a known thing. Speaking of
Speaker 1: quarterback will give you jump into streams. Here have a
Speaker 1: stat of the day, which will also lead us into
Speaker 1: running back. I got. I got a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: on the rundown. Yeah, I looked at a lot of news.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's was making the fanel rundown earlier. You're like,
Speaker 1: look at the run down, like, wow, it's very early
Speaker 1: the run down to be completed, and it was did
Speaker 1: it last night during the game we were going to
Speaker 1: He's myself off the pressure of watching seake Kwon Barkley
Speaker 1: nearly destroy me. Yeah, so I'm looking at the news.
Speaker 1: There's not really much interesting here. I mean, Bengals bring
Speaker 1: back Hugh Jackson as an assistant. That's huge. So in
Speaker 1: all caps, Bucks signed Cairo Santos. Yeah, let me get
Speaker 1: the Hugh Jackson thing. First, Floria were like freaking fantasy chat.
Speaker 1: You're a freaking out And I was like, why are
Speaker 1: you guys surprised? We knew this was coming. None of
Speaker 1: this is a surprised. You knew he could back to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: You know that him and Marvin Lewis. I told you
Speaker 1: earlier on in the year that huge Jackson will end
Speaker 1: up getting another job. And I believe I was doing
Speaker 1: that right there, and you said there's no way he
Speaker 1: gets another job. No. No, I sat right here and
Speaker 1: tell you to told you to be in Cincinnati. It's
Speaker 1: literally right to the tape. Please, I'm happy to I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure you were like, no, he's not gonna get
Speaker 1: a job for a while, like he sucks. I did
Speaker 1: not say that. I said he'll get another job in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and my best friends and I was adamintant saying
Speaker 1: these guys get recycled in the NFL all the time,
Speaker 1: even if they sucked, they get recycled around. Jackson back
Speaker 1: with the Bengals not good for him, as if you
Speaker 1: know they don't have enough bad things going on. And
Speaker 1: the Browns two more times. Sweet I saw a great
Speaker 1: sweet Ray Summerlin, who tweeted out that the first move
Speaker 1: that he Jacks will do as a special assist in
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball is Benji Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: for aj mccaren and they find out that Aji mccarroen
Speaker 1: is not on the team anymore, he will quit exists, right,
Speaker 1: He was the one who wanted to give up all
Speaker 1: those draft picks to get him. Where's Ajian mccarroen now?
Speaker 1: Is he playing? Like? That? Might be correct? These dark
Speaker 1: cars back? Yeah, I know he got signed by the
Speaker 1: Bills and then got cut. He's somewhere now that sounds
Speaker 1: right for you. Sure he's an Oakland Sure any else
Speaker 1: news related here says signed Brandon Marshall. Greg, Okay, you're
Speaker 1: out on that. Yeah, not not getting u. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna get the same amount of buzz as Dez Brian, mean,
Speaker 1: while it's likely the same exact thing. Yeah, nothing, Everyone
Speaker 1: and everyone took time out of the day to talk
Speaker 1: about des Bryant. I tried not to as forced. I
Speaker 1: mean we had to talk about him a little bit,
Speaker 1: but I mean he lives. I'm not talking about Brandon Marshall.
Speaker 1: Er have to show cord in the peat Carroll, Chris
Speaker 1: Carson will play on Thursday night football looks talking with
Speaker 1: us out of the day. Then it's that end of
Speaker 1: the day comes via Jared Smola following on Twitter at
Speaker 1: smola d s attributes to Draft Sharks has a lot
Speaker 1: of great stats as well. Rashad Penny first twenty NFL
Speaker 1: carries two point two yards per carry is next thirty
Speaker 1: four NFL carries have been six point two yards per carry.
Speaker 1: This past week, we all saw him twelve carries over
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, a touchdown, nine yards per carry in
Speaker 1: that game. Like I've been thinking about more and more
Speaker 1: about what you said yesterday about the GM maybe you know,
Speaker 1: tipping off, he Carollen, like, all right, come on, we
Speaker 1: gotta get this guy involved now, you know, let's show
Speaker 1: people why we drafted him in the first round. And
Speaker 1: it just so happens that after that game he Carol
Speaker 1: came out and said that Rashad Penny finally looked like
Speaker 1: the guy that they drafted in the first round. We
Speaker 1: know that he's dealt with the injury in the preseason,
Speaker 1: the broken finger, he was out of shape, still doesn't
Speaker 1: look like he's in the best shape of all time,
Speaker 1: but he looked great in that in this past week
Speaker 1: on rushing for nine yards per carry. I just wonder
Speaker 1: that even with Carson back, is there a chance that
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny is the guy moving forward, and I would
Speaker 1: say that there is a chance that that is the case,
Speaker 1: You're just gonna get messed with, man. Yeah, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I think that's why you still have to take a
Speaker 1: shot and adding him here, because while it is a
Speaker 1: small chance that he's the guy, and we all know
Speaker 1: how much they like Chris Carson, if management is in
Speaker 1: front of them here and saying, hey, we need to
Speaker 1: get Shot Penny involved, and he just looked as good
Speaker 1: as he did, I wouldn't manage and come back again
Speaker 1: and be like, well, look what he did. We gotta
Speaker 1: continue to get this guy involved. I get it, and
Speaker 1: and like, how can you deny what he just did?
Speaker 1: Look great? He looked fantastically. The best rushing performances of
Speaker 1: the year out of a Seahawks. Yeah, no question about it.
Speaker 1: He looked fantastic. I think we'll see again Chris workload
Speaker 1: and think they like Chris Carson. I think he looked
Speaker 1: at Chris Carson has done when he's healthy. Chris Carson
Speaker 1: has been fantastic. I mean, all these running backs when
Speaker 1: you give it a shot, have been fantastic. It's just
Speaker 1: and the fact that they're the number one rushing percentage
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. I mean, maybe they can coexist
Speaker 1: even Like what if what if Chris Carson and Shot
Speaker 1: Penny get like fifteen touches each per game? That would
Speaker 1: put them both in the flexis because that means that
Speaker 1: means Mike David gets none. I don't think that happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna So what's the most realistic scenario,
Speaker 1: like fifteen for Carson, ten for Penny, five for Davis,
Speaker 1: something like that. I bet you it's like last I
Speaker 1: bet you it's literally like eight for Penny. And what
Speaker 1: did you be really surprised you, Mike Davis and more carrious. No,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't. It wouldn't at all. Like nothing moving forward
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks running backs would surprise me. And I
Speaker 1: said that yesterday reminds me a lot of Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. I mean, they kind of want to
Speaker 1: keep opposing defenses and opposing teams off balanced by not
Speaker 1: knowing who they're going to use at the running back position.
Speaker 1: But I think the reason you have to take a
Speaker 1: stab on a Shot Penny is because there's at least
Speaker 1: that slight sliver of a chance that for shot Penny
Speaker 1: is the guy moving forward and that you know, all right,
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't get twenty touches per game, but if
Speaker 1: he is the main running back behind that offensive line
Speaker 1: who's played well from a run blocking perspective, on the
Speaker 1: team that's running the most rush plays in the NFL
Speaker 1: this season, you want you want a piece of that
Speaker 1: running back. So I at this point, we're not going
Speaker 1: to really talk about FAD because I don't know how
Speaker 1: much people have left. But I think what would help
Speaker 1: listeners and and watchers more Greg is rather we rank
Speaker 1: the players at their position, and I think we're talking
Speaker 1: Tony is the number one running back at this week? Um,
Speaker 1: I think he's number one. Add this week, I think
Speaker 1: number one running back. I agree. I agree with that
Speaker 1: because he has the potential to start down the stretch
Speaker 1: because he's that first round pick. He does with the pedigree,
Speaker 1: I get it. Yes, So I agree with you with that.
Speaker 1: Unless Derrick Henry's out there, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: would rank I don't know Dereck even number one either, Um,
Speaker 1: but I agree that Petty is number one at I
Speaker 1: I think he probably is. Do you want to talk
Speaker 1: abou running backs? I like and I liked him last week.
Speaker 1: I told you that at costume nothing last week. It
Speaker 1: was last week or two weeks and I picked him up.
Speaker 1: Josh Adams. And you never want to get involve with
Speaker 1: Philly running backs. I completely understand that, Frank. But he
Speaker 1: had the highest percentage of running back snaps for one plays.
Speaker 1: He actually ran the ball last week. Um he is,
Speaker 1: according to Peterson, needs to be and have a better
Speaker 1: usage in the running game. He's averaged the most yards
Speaker 1: of the past couple of weeks. He looks like the
Speaker 1: best running back in Philly. And I get you don't
Speaker 1: want to get involved with the Philadelphia Eagles and you
Speaker 1: don't want their running backs. They're gonna play Corey Clement
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play Windel Smallwood, and they want to
Speaker 1: get everybody in bothered. It's only gonna bother you. And
Speaker 1: Frank wants nothing to do in the Eagles running back.
Speaker 1: But six teams gonna buy. If you're looking for a
Speaker 1: story running back, I think you found one in Josh Adams.
Speaker 1: He's starting running back right. Yeah. He hasn't add more
Speaker 1: than nine carries in any single game. I will say
Speaker 1: over the past three games, he's had twenty carries exactly,
Speaker 1: he's averaging over six yards per carry with those with
Speaker 1: those touches, so he's performing when he gets the ball.
Speaker 1: What I don't understand is doesn't Doug Peterson call plays
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. Yes, so doesn't he control how many
Speaker 1: touches Josh Adams gets. So it's just confusing to me
Speaker 1: that he comes out after the game and he says,
Speaker 1: we need to get Josh Adams more involved. Doug Peterson,
Speaker 1: you control whether or not Josh Adams gets involved. So
Speaker 1: I just don't really understand is I will agree that
Speaker 1: with six teams on a buy, if I had to
Speaker 1: choose an Eagles running back that I am most excited about,
Speaker 1: and when I say most excited, it's not very exciting
Speaker 1: at all, it would be Josh Adams, just based on
Speaker 1: how efficiently he's run the ball when he touches it,
Speaker 1: but does absolutely nothing in the past game, has one
Speaker 1: reception on the season, hasn't had more than nine carries
Speaker 1: in a game. And I know he can have a
Speaker 1: game here where he gets randomly, you know, fifteen, sixteen carries,
Speaker 1: but in the next game he'll seven or eight. So
Speaker 1: it's an it's extremely fluid situation. I will say based
Speaker 1: on how he has from the ball when he does
Speaker 1: get the football. I am intrigued in Josh Adams and
Speaker 1: there's six teams on a by Again, Greg, I mean,
Speaker 1: as you reference, I'm not very high on the Eagles
Speaker 1: running game. The offensive line has not performed well this
Speaker 1: year in terms of running the football. Arson Wentz took
Speaker 1: a lot of taxes past week as well. Offensive line
Speaker 1: kind of shaky. Um too many running Max here, let
Speaker 1: us his upside A lot to change your Frank, you
Speaker 1: still watched nothing to do with the Eagle's branding. Max

Speaker 1: for cash games and turneys. Learned from the game's best
Speaker 1: DFS players joined Daily Rodo dot Com Fantasy best Friends
Speaker 1: Forever Fantasy Sports Radio network that is Frank Stanford. I
Speaker 1: am Greg Susman, Thank you so much for joining us
Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday waiver wire. Tuesday, Frankie, we're getting
Speaker 1: into the running backs here so you can pick up
Speaker 1: and I want to get into places you can drop
Speaker 1: as well. Just talk about running backs and Josh Adams
Speaker 1: were shot, Penny and guys that you might need to
Speaker 1: start this week. But the questions becomes who who can
Speaker 1: you dropp And with four teams on a buy, six
Speaker 1: teams on six teams on by four teams the NFC
Speaker 1: A f C S, can you drop Kenyan Drake. Nope,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I own him in one league.
Speaker 1: I know it's been frustrating. It's not necessarily his fault.
Speaker 1: I think you know when he touches the ball, he's
Speaker 1: still their most explosive weapon. Frank Gore is seems like
Speaker 1: he's not going away. But I'm just gonna keep holding
Speaker 1: onto what he did in that second half last year,
Speaker 1: that final stretch where Greg you know very well he
Speaker 1: nearly won us a league together that we owned last year.
Speaker 1: Um you, me and Michael Florio together. Kenyan Drake has
Speaker 1: that ability if they would just open their eyes and
Speaker 1: maybe it's maybe it'll take the by maybe you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they're uh, they're they're from office needs to step
Speaker 1: forward in and and say something to Adam Gaze because
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna take, but we know
Speaker 1: that Kenyan Drake has that ability to to win you
Speaker 1: weeks single handedly and really try and propel you to
Speaker 1: win a league if they would just give him the touches.
Speaker 1: So I'm I can't drop him yet. I know he
Speaker 1: was like a third fourth round pick for people care
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, it's not gonna be the pick
Speaker 1: I drop. Chris Hogan is the third round pick. He's
Speaker 1: been no off my team for six weeks for a
Speaker 1: third round pick. I drafted Chris Hogan in the fourth round.
Speaker 1: On the turn. Fine, there's literally the turn. Are you
Speaker 1: dropping Kenyan Drake? I'm strongly considerate. Sure, it's frustrating, like
Speaker 1: we are at the mercy of Adam Gates. I get it.
Speaker 1: He won us leagues, he won me a leading is
Speaker 1: who are you dropping for? Gregg? Do you drop for
Speaker 1: a shot, penny or a job or definitely not Josh
Speaker 1: Josh Adams. There's no upside there, in my opinion, no
Speaker 1: upside with the Eagles running backs right now, Penny a
Speaker 1: little bit more interesting, But I mean it's a crowd No,
Speaker 1: that's a crowded situation as well. I will say this,
Speaker 1: at least the Seahawks are a better offense behind a
Speaker 1: team that's dedicated to the run. It seems like they
Speaker 1: somewhat know what they're doing. Would you drop the offense
Speaker 1: just don't. Would you drop Elijah McGuire for any of
Speaker 1: these they either these two guys, Elijah McGuire, I would
Speaker 1: drop him to get Penny. I would keep him over
Speaker 1: Josh Adams because look what we've seen is when teams
Speaker 1: go into the by, especially when they're sputtering. Coming out
Speaker 1: of that by, things can completely change. Especially with a
Speaker 1: team like the Jets. If they're quote reevaluating everything like
Speaker 1: they say they are, maybe they'll realize throughout the bye,
Speaker 1: all right, isaihah, well, is not what makes this offense better.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's getting uh, getting Elijah McGuire the ball fifteen
Speaker 1: plus times per game is what's gonna make this team better.
Speaker 1: So I would hold on to guys like that. And
Speaker 1: we've already seen that happen, you know, guys like David
Speaker 1: Johnson throughout the bye alright. Byron left which works with
Speaker 1: his offense and realized all right, this is what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do coming out of the bye. So you know,
Speaker 1: I uh, I get encouraged when I see stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I think that there's a chance that that can
Speaker 1: happen even with Elijah McGuire hopefully. I mean, look, we're
Speaker 1: just we're holding on to a with a prayer here
Speaker 1: that that that that's what they do with Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: So I can't. I can't drop me just based on
Speaker 1: what I saw from him down the stretch last year.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's the fault of me. Maybe that's me
Speaker 1: just holding on too much. I'm going down with the ship.
Speaker 1: But I think when it comes to Kenyan Drake, he
Speaker 1: does have that that league winning ability. What are the
Speaker 1: player that is on a buy that you want to
Speaker 1: pick up potentially, and that's Rex Burke hand. He obviously
Speaker 1: came out last week and he was h practicing and
Speaker 1: he could return early in December. Sonny Michelle has the
Speaker 1: big back role. You have James White having the smaller role.
Speaker 1: Rex Berken was vital for New England last year. Are
Speaker 1: you making are you picking up Rex Brokent this week? Yes?
Speaker 1: So if I've already I've already picked him up in
Speaker 1: my home league on Sunday because we have after fab
Speaker 1: goes through, we have open waivers, and no one picked
Speaker 1: him up. So I picked him up then, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stash and reminder they have a buy in this week.
Speaker 1: In week eleven, and in week twelve, the Patriots face
Speaker 1: the Jets and he's still not eligible to return in
Speaker 1: week thirteen. So if you're fighting for your playoff lives,
Speaker 1: you can't afford to pick up Rex Burkin and just
Speaker 1: throw him into your lineup week thirteen and hope that
Speaker 1: he does something, because I'm telling you right now, even
Speaker 1: owning him in week thirteen, I'm not going to start him.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a wait and see approach and just
Speaker 1: kind of see what happens with the Patriots running back situation.
Speaker 1: But what I will say is Tony Michelle did not
Speaker 1: look great in this game. I don't know that he's
Speaker 1: on and we saw last year a running back I
Speaker 1: would say similar to Rex burkehead in the Patriots eyes
Speaker 1: and Dion Lewis take over down the stretch for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Why did the Patriots love Dean Lewis so much because
Speaker 1: of his versatility. When he was on the field, you
Speaker 1: didn't know whether the Patriots were going to run the
Speaker 1: football or throw the football, because you know he can
Speaker 1: He ran it effectively, and he can also catch the
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. Rex burkehead kind of represents
Speaker 1: that similar type of mold of a running back, similar
Speaker 1: to Dion Lewis, and that he can run the football effectively,
Speaker 1: he can catch the football out of the backfield, and
Speaker 1: we saw him have games last year where he was
Speaker 1: certainly fantasy viable as well. So Tony Michelle first game
Speaker 1: back eleven carries thirty one yards two point eight yards
Speaker 1: per carry. If they figure out during the break that
Speaker 1: he is not maybe there's a chance he gets shut down.
Speaker 1: We're dealing with a lot of ifs here, but there
Speaker 1: there's definitely a chance for upside. Based on what we
Speaker 1: saw Dean Lewis down the stretch last do last year,
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that rex Burkid could have
Speaker 1: that same type of value. So I am picking him up.
Speaker 1: But those are in leagues where I kind of I
Speaker 1: think I know that I'm going to be in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: because again, you likely won't be able to play this
Speaker 1: guy until week fourteen at the earliest. I agree with that,
Speaker 1: and I picked him up in the league I expected
Speaker 1: being the playoffs in and we're desperate for running backs ultimately,
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm stashing him with a bench of
Speaker 1: stashing him and Foreman and and Deonta Foreman. The news
Speaker 1: came out yesterday, Bill O'Brien saying, quote, will see, they
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's gonna play this yere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a waste and we and we got excited
Speaker 1: over that too, And then we got excited over the
Speaker 1: two months ago, which is frustrating because look, it's it
Speaker 1: was just a weird situation overall, because there was a
Speaker 1: chance he could play in week one. There was a
Speaker 1: chance he wasn't even going to land on the pub
Speaker 1: and I figured all along on lean, look, coming back
Speaker 1: from a torn achilles, I don't care how young you are,
Speaker 1: that is a devastating or should come back from. So
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was any chance in hell he
Speaker 1: was gonna return in week one. But I thought maybe
Speaker 1: given the fact that they put him on the pup
Speaker 1: and they expected him to return at some point, that
Speaker 1: that's also what I expected. I and you know, their offensive,
Speaker 1: their their run game was not performing well. There were
Speaker 1: a few games where Lamar Miller did show out, they
Speaker 1: were in very good matchups, but overall, the run game
Speaker 1: hasn't been great this year. So I thought, all right,
Speaker 1: you'll they'll give Jonson Forming a chance. But it still
Speaker 1: seems like he's foreman they everybody believes, from Bill O'Brien
Speaker 1: to foreman himself at the twenty one day window for him,
Speaker 1: the practice will begin this week, and again that doesn't
Speaker 1: put him on the roster. Is no guarantee he will
Speaker 1: be on the roster in three weeks from now. We're
Speaker 1: talking about Rex Broke in week fourteen. That's the earlies
Speaker 1: should be able to start the foreman most likely, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna start with the third straight at that point.
Speaker 1: So these are guys that you're you're only stashing. If
Speaker 1: your record is like six and four better, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Rather I'd rather um, I'd rather have Rex Burkhead, And
Speaker 1: just ranking the running backs that we've talked about so far,
Speaker 1: I would put it Rashad Penny. Would you rather have
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry or Rex Burkhead. Greg. Look, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: don't think that there's much upside. I know he scored
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the last three games. An interesting stat
Speaker 1: that I saw both Derrick Henry and Dean Lewis both
Speaker 1: have nineteen red zone rushing attempts this season. It's completely
Speaker 1: split down the middle. There's no rhyme or reason. It's
Speaker 1: basically just whoever is on the field right If they're
Speaker 1: running the no huddle, the hurry up offense, it's just
Speaker 1: Dan Lewis. They're gonna keep him on the field. If
Speaker 1: they have time where they're going to the huddle and
Speaker 1: they're getting set and they really want to kind of
Speaker 1: barrel into the end zone, then they're gonna bring Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry on the field. But there's really no rhyme or
Speaker 1: reason as who when, who's getting the ball inside the
Speaker 1: red zone. So I mean they're split down the middle.
Speaker 1: Realized that. And in games where Derrick Henry doesn't score
Speaker 1: touch on, he's giving you thirty forty fifty yards at most.
Speaker 1: He hasn't had more than twelve rushing attempts in any
Speaker 1: games since we three. I will say I do agree
Speaker 1: with you. I'd rather own Derrick Henry than Rex burkhead Um.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's the order right, Rich Shod Penny Derrick,
Speaker 1: Henry rex Burkhead, and then we would you rather own
Speaker 1: Aliza McGuire than rex Burkett. I think I would. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's still not owned in enough leagues. Two more morning backs.
Speaker 1: I want to get to you first, just THEO Ridic,
Speaker 1: who's only owned in thirty pc of CBS leagues, give
Speaker 1: or take, and Riddicks. Since coming back from injury, he's
Speaker 1: resumed his role he's always had. I think he had
Speaker 1: six receptions one game, seven the next. It's theoretic. Being theoretic,
Speaker 1: the lines are terrible, so they're always in comeback mode.
Speaker 1: It's just dumped Ridic dump, Ridic dumps Riddick. Now carry on,
Speaker 1: Johnson's playing more snaps than ever. Uh, he's a goal lineback.
Speaker 1: You know THEO Rick is not going to carry the
Speaker 1: ball at all. But are you diving in a theoretic frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do think that the ownership percentage is too low
Speaker 1: based on how many PPR formats there are, which means
Speaker 1: he should be owned in all PPR leagues. Um, and
Speaker 1: you notice the snap percentage from this past week. Carry on,
Speaker 1: Johnson of the snaps, THEO Rick fifty eight percent of
Speaker 1: the snaps seven in post fifty eight, there's not equal
Speaker 1: a hundred? What does that mean? Theoretic and carry on?
Speaker 1: Johnson are playing on the field together at times. So
Speaker 1: John Greggy just jumped a balloons just popped. If you
Speaker 1: were watching the morning after, you saw that they had
Speaker 1: balloons delivered, and you know they're sitting in the corner
Speaker 1: of the room right now and one of them just popped. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Greggy nearly soiled his breeches as I interrupt you, Frank,
Speaker 1: someone popped last night. I honestly I couldn't even watch
Speaker 1: it because I heard it was gruesome, and I really
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, like in my older age,
Speaker 1: like I don't have the stomach to like watch gruesome
Speaker 1: injuries anymore. So I didn't watch. He was diagnosed today
Speaker 1: with a subtillar dislocation of the right foot. That means
Speaker 1: there is no surgery and he'll be back this season
Speaker 1: new for the Brooklyn Nets. Really, yeah, good news. Did
Speaker 1: you watch it? I still have actually watched it, not glad,
Speaker 1: I don't you know. So I showed it to King
Speaker 1: and I was like, watch this and please describe it
Speaker 1: to me. And she basically said that he jumped up
Speaker 1: and when he came down, he basically landed full force
Speaker 1: on the side of his foot and like his his
Speaker 1: foot was like nine degree angle, so like basically his
Speaker 1: ankle was touching the sun Man. Good news, no surgery,
Speaker 1: should be back. Yeah, and he was enjoying a breakout
Speaker 1: season and everything that you read about the kids says
Speaker 1: that you know he's a stand up guy, had a
Speaker 1: lot of promise coming out of Michigan, but has consistently
Speaker 1: dealt with injuries. Just sucks that for those who drafted him.
Speaker 1: He was he was performing quite well, but now has
Speaker 1: this injury. It is good good news that he'll be back,
Speaker 1: but um, hopefully you can stash him on your i R.
Speaker 1: Just getting back to theo ridic though. I think he
Speaker 1: needs to be owned in all PPR leagues six verse sixty.
Speaker 1: This week he's playing on the field the same time
Speaker 1: as carry On Johnson and per our guy Michael Florio.
Speaker 1: The already had sixteen slot routes this week, which led
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. So he's he's basically picked up that
Speaker 1: role left behind from Golden Tate, which we know is
Speaker 1: a very, very valuable role to Matt Staffort. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there you go. So theoretic ahead of all these other
Speaker 1: guys in PPR, he is I know that Shot Penny
Speaker 1: still like doesn't catch passes. I would still rather have
Speaker 1: a shot Penny overall. THEO Riddick is number two on
Speaker 1: the list in PPR leagues. Um just in a vacuum,
Speaker 1: like if you play in half PPR, I generally just
Speaker 1: want like the best player available. I don't think that
Speaker 1: he has immense upside, he has a safe floor I
Speaker 1: would rather have. I'd rather have Derrick Henry, and I
Speaker 1: would rather have Elijah McGuire. But um Rex Burke, it
Speaker 1: is firmly behind theoretic in my opinion, I might rather
Speaker 1: have Riddy than McGuire. I've just kind of talked myself into,
Speaker 1: you know, teams going to into the bye, the Jets,
Speaker 1: I mean, what are they playing for this season? They
Speaker 1: might as well see what they have in Elijah McGuire,
Speaker 1: Isaiah krow Well, he's still pretty young. I think Rowell
Speaker 1: is like only twenty five years old, but it's clear
Speaker 1: that I don't think he's going to be part of
Speaker 1: the future by any means. So I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: get Elijah McGuire more involved coming out of the by
Speaker 1: He's already played more snaps than Crowell in both games
Speaker 1: that he's been back. So intrigued by by McGuire. Okay,
Speaker 1: last running back, I want to hit up. That's Jalen Samuels.
Speaker 1: James Conner's ingercussion protocoll called Mike Tolland says he expects
Speaker 1: him to pass tomorrow the first day of practice. We'll
Speaker 1: see concussions can linger, that can be setbacks or whatnot.
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuels is the backup to James Connor. Jaalen Samuels
Speaker 1: and Stephen really don't know want you to forget about him, Frank,
Speaker 1: because he is there. Jim Samuel's yea who Lee's both
Speaker 1: running back and tight end eligible? Just say yeah, that
Speaker 1: is really random that he has tight end eligibility. And
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you who do you think is
Speaker 1: the handcuff because we're at that point and we continue
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Where down the stretch Again, there's
Speaker 1: only three regular season weeks in fantasy football, you need
Speaker 1: to own the handcuffs for your team. We'll find out
Speaker 1: today by the four PM deadline whether Levian Bell is
Speaker 1: gonna show up, But all indications say that Levian Bell
Speaker 1: is not going to show up, which means he's not
Speaker 1: going to play this year, which also means you need
Speaker 1: to get the handcuff to James Conner. James Conner is
Speaker 1: the RB one on the Steelers, and we know that
Speaker 1: if anything were to happen to him. The Steelers typically
Speaker 1: lean on one running back. They don't go running back
Speaker 1: by committee. They normal they have that one guy. Is
Speaker 1: that one guy Jalen Samuels or is it Stephen Ridley?
Speaker 1: Really is the veteran Jalen Samuels I believe is the
Speaker 1: first year player a rookie here um, but he caught
Speaker 1: a touchdown last week, so I'm I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: more intrigued in Jalen Samuel's something we would happen to Connor.
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the guy Greg Samuel's or
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley? I think it's really to be honestly, it
Speaker 1: could go either way. I don't think that there's any
Speaker 1: wrong answer here, but you do need to own You
Speaker 1: do need to own one of them for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: In Week ten, James Conner played of the snatch that
Speaker 1: was on Thursday Night Football obviously left the game dealing
Speaker 1: with the concussion. The next player up with the highest
Speaker 1: percentage of snaps was Jalen Samuels, who played of this thing.
Speaker 1: But that was a monstrous blowout and in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: like Samuel's got a whole bunch of snaps, I don't
Speaker 1: know that he would get I believe that when Connor
Speaker 1: came out in the first running back and it was
Speaker 1: Ridley just saying that might be true, that might be true,
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna go based on what we saw
Speaker 1: in this game on the season for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: The next man up in terms of running back snaps,
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley has eight point five percent of snaps. Janiel
Speaker 1: Samuel is a six point seven percent. Yeah, so it's close, um,
Speaker 1: but I think you need to own one of them
Speaker 1: for sure. If something were to happen, just get that waiver.
Speaker 1: And now it's not gonna cost you all up meuch,
Speaker 1: because everyone expects Connor to play. It happened a long
Speaker 1: time ago, obviously on last Thursday. And if someone picks
Speaker 1: up Jaleens Anuels and pick up Ridley as you want
Speaker 1: to them, and even it's just for a day, or
Speaker 1: two even it's just for a don't I think you
Speaker 1: need to own one of these guys moving? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure? Um should we move on? You know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of quarterbacks. I'll say, the wide receivers for the
Speaker 1: end quarterbacks stream this week. You don't have Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: You don't have Broadway Baker this week. You don't really
Speaker 1: have the two big names I would say, I mean
Speaker 1: you left out Nate Peterman. Um who is not on?
Speaker 1: Who's also left out by Buffalo? Um mcmullins, who a
Speaker 1: bunch of people picked up last Yeah, you lost on Brady,
Speaker 1: you lost Baker Mayfield. Maybe you'll probably a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: for you anyway. Um, so you're really losing Brady if
Speaker 1: you need to stream of quarterback this week. The ones
Speaker 1: that I like the best, Dak Prescott against Atlanta. Prescott
Speaker 1: has to believe, rushed for a touchdown in three of
Speaker 1: his last five games, so I like his last four year.
Speaker 1: We have his last four. It was another quarterback actually
Speaker 1: did three of his last five, but Prescott three of
Speaker 1: his last four games he's rushed for a touchdown. Also
Speaker 1: three has last five UM against Atlanta, it's a good
Speaker 1: matchup We've been streaming quarterbacks against them for a while now.
Speaker 1: Last week it was Mayfield, This week is Prescott, so
Speaker 1: I like him. Another quarterback I really like is Marcus Mariota,
Speaker 1: who's really turned it on as a lake. He finally
Speaker 1: seems healthy and that nerve issued in his hand kind
Speaker 1: of subsided um. So I like that Mariota. And the
Speaker 1: third one I wrote it would be fun to start
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson if he plays this week. Yeah, it would
Speaker 1: certainly be fun. I do agree with you on Dak.
Speaker 1: He has the rushing production lately, has posted at least
Speaker 1: fifteen fantasy points in four straight games. That's in four
Speaker 1: point passing touchdown leagues. Falcons allowed the fourth fourth most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. We just saw
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield have the best game this season. He threw
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns. And the Cowboys are three and a
Speaker 1: half point dogs in the Dome. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: that they'll be chasing points in this one against Atlanta.
Speaker 1: It is worth noting that Dion Jones is eligible to
Speaker 1: return at linebacker for the Falcon sole their defense should
Speaker 1: be better, but I do expect the Cowboys to be
Speaker 1: playing from behind Mariotta. I agree with you. Seems like
Speaker 1: he's playing better, seems like he's over the injury. Um.
Speaker 1: The Titans offense is finally starting to click. I was very,
Speaker 1: very critical of the Titans offense earlier on in the season.
Speaker 1: They were a complete mess. Whether that was due to
Speaker 1: play calling, the offensive line being banged up, Mariota being
Speaker 1: banged up, it could be a combination of all of
Speaker 1: those things. But it's a great match up here. The
Speaker 1: Colts have allowed multiple touchdown passes in five of their
Speaker 1: last six games. That one game where they didn't was
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and that was um, that was Derek Anderson.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Nate Peterman. But the Bills just terrible. And
Speaker 1: I mean except for when they played the Jets, but
Speaker 1: that's you know, talk about Mariotta also averaging thirty rushing
Speaker 1: yards per games, so even if he throws an interception,
Speaker 1: he kind of has that mitigated by the rushing production
Speaker 1: he has also Just throw him out there. I don't
Speaker 1: like him as much as the other guys, but Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles going up against the Steelers. Their defense has played
Speaker 1: much better as of late, but Blake Bortles has also
Speaker 1: played better as of late, averaging thirty rushing actor game.
Speaker 1: He's averaged over three passing yards over his last two
Speaker 1: games he throw. He threw for two touchdowns this past
Speaker 1: week against the Cold and their five point home dogs
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, so likely chasing points as well. There
Speaker 1: for Blake Portals. When it comes to Lamar Jackson, look
Speaker 1: he has to and super flex leagues just based on
Speaker 1: his upside. I don't think that he's a very polished
Speaker 1: quarterback at all yet by any means. But have you
Speaker 1: seen bad quarterbacks in the NFL give good fantasy production
Speaker 1: just based on rushing alone? Allah Tim Tebow, and I'll
Speaker 1: always go back to that. I think Lamar Jackson, if
Speaker 1: he plays, could have that Tim Tebow back effect for fantasy.
Speaker 1: We'll see when we come back the wide receivers, you
Speaker 1: need to pick up stick around more of your BFFs
Speaker 1: after that. If you're someone that needs fantasy sports advice

Speaker 1: Block Live starts at six, and then we got Scout
Speaker 1: with Ronus at seven. You also forgot about Ronus what
Speaker 1: you heard his promo during the break, guy Ronus, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen Ronus, our guy Ronus. Yeah, your guy Ronus.
Speaker 1: You worked with them more than I did. Like Ronus
Speaker 1: me too for basketball team Ronuses league. That's so good though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, man, Jimmy Butler coming back. Vengeance can change
Speaker 1: Everything's gonna change everything. He's gonna play every single game
Speaker 1: now moving forward, we will be all right, fair enough
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six s seven nine.
Speaker 1: A lot of your calls right now. As we'll get
Speaker 1: into the wide receivers Frankie that people have to know
Speaker 1: about this week, I'll start with my guy, Josh Reynolds.
Speaker 1: I picked up and dropped three times, three times thus far. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll make it a fourth this week. Cooper cups out
Speaker 1: for the year. Josh Reynolds will play all the snaps,
Speaker 1: but the usage won't necessarily be there. Yeah, and we've
Speaker 1: seen that in the games where Cooper Cup missed. I
Speaker 1: brought up the staff from Adam Levitt tan Adam Leaving
Speaker 1: ten yesterday about how Josh Reynolds played all the snaps
Speaker 1: but nine in the two games where Cooper Cup did
Speaker 1: not play, but his targets share was a easily ten percent.
Speaker 1: So look, it's gonna be a lot of Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: It's going to be a lot of Robert Woods. I
Speaker 1: think the tight ends get a little bit more involved
Speaker 1: here as well. But there's still that chance, the fact
Speaker 1: that he's on the field in an offense as potent
Speaker 1: as the Los Angeles Rams and match up against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, I think you have to be interested
Speaker 1: in Josh Reynolds. I think there are a few other
Speaker 1: wide receivers that will talk about that I like more
Speaker 1: than him this week. But I'm trying to add and
Speaker 1: where I'm specifically trying to add is on teams where
Speaker 1: I own Sammy Watkins, right because Sammy Watkins plays on
Speaker 1: Monday Night, they say that they expect him to play
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. But if he doesn't go, if you
Speaker 1: also own Josh Reynolds, at least you have that plug
Speaker 1: in where if Watkins can't go, you have Josh Reynolds
Speaker 1: on the other side, you know at least that he's
Speaker 1: going to play. And I like that much more than
Speaker 1: you know, handcuffing a Chiefs wide receiver behind Watkins, because
Speaker 1: we saw this past week the Marcus Robinson, Chris Conleeen
Speaker 1: either one of those guys has a ton of value.
Speaker 1: So especially on teams where I own Sammy Watkins, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make sure I get Josh Reynolds in case Watkins
Speaker 1: is to go on one DA night. I think it
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Um listen, he plays on
Speaker 1: the field. That replay you just need to touchdown is
Speaker 1: what you're looking for exactly, you only you only need one.
Speaker 1: So I like it, and it makes sense to say
Speaker 1: we're walking certainly as well. Ye the other wide receivers
Speaker 1: who will get into I will say this though, I
Speaker 1: do want to throw this out there. I'm sorry, there
Speaker 1: is a chance. And I was reading this this morning.
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter tweeted this out that the field conditions in
Speaker 1: Mexico City are disastrous right now, brutal and given these
Speaker 1: short notice, they may have to move back to l A.
Speaker 1: Of course, you have all the fires unfortunately going on
Speaker 1: in l A and they haven't hold the events of
Speaker 1: the stable center and whatnot. But they might try to
Speaker 1: move this to l A. They they're determined to move
Speaker 1: this to Mexico City or play this in Mexico City.
Speaker 1: If they can't, they might move in to l A.
Speaker 1: If they can't play in l A. There is a
Speaker 1: chance it could be postponed. Now, I don't know postponed
Speaker 1: until when. I don't know what that would do. I
Speaker 1: do know obviously the Rams by next week. I assume
Speaker 1: we would know that before the game start to Yes,
Speaker 1: but you won't know that before waivers run. I don't
Speaker 1: know how early that. Yeah, I mean this is very
Speaker 1: like very preemptive, like forward thinking. But I just want
Speaker 1: to stand. I just want to throw it out there
Speaker 1: because they read it this morning. All right, eight four four,
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine. Let me get to
Speaker 1: Julian and Miami. He has an ad job question for us.
Speaker 1: What's up? Julian? Okay, what's up? Guys going on? Can
Speaker 1: you hear me? What's going on? All right? Um, I
Speaker 1: want to pick up one player for the end of
Speaker 1: my bench. Would you guys think Murray, Henry Penny or
Speaker 1: McGuire or theoretic? Thanks for listening to the entire show.
Speaker 1: Juliete talked about this for literally the last Henry Penny,
Speaker 1: theoretic and McGuire. Yes, what format is this? GPR EPR?
Speaker 1: Do you own Dalvin Cook? No? I told Tavis Murray
Speaker 1: is definitely out of the question, and I've already mentioned
Speaker 1: regardless of format. The one that I want to add
Speaker 1: most is for shot Penny greg a great in PPR.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have I I hear, I'm going with Anny.
Speaker 1: We're agreement. There's been a big fan let me hind
Speaker 1: of the wide receiver. Back of the wide receivers. We
Speaker 1: mentioned Josh Reynolds. Next one, I want to go with
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, and we talked about him off there on.
Speaker 1: I don't remember we we we were talking about talking
Speaker 1: about him on the year and just how much better
Speaker 1: he has been over the past couple of weeks playing
Speaker 1: out of that slot. Mitjor Drobiski is trusting him only
Speaker 1: just of leagues. I really like Anthony Miller going forward
Speaker 1: in the second half of the year. I think he
Speaker 1: could be a big, big, big time player for for
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. Yeah, at least six targets in four straight games.
Speaker 1: He had a career game this past week obviously, five
Speaker 1: for one, two and a touchdown. You have to remember
Speaker 1: the Bears traded up to get Anthony Miller. They gave
Speaker 1: up their second round pick and an additional pick to
Speaker 1: move up and get Anthony Miller. This year Uh. Typically,
Speaker 1: whenever I see a team do that, I realized that
Speaker 1: they're going to want to get this player involved. And
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it takes time for rookie wide receivers
Speaker 1: to you know, get their feet underneath them. Uh, at
Speaker 1: the NFL level obviously, But it looks like he's coming
Speaker 1: on strong and I'm gonna continue to talk about slot
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I love slot wide receivers this year, and
Speaker 1: especially for Mentell Trabinsky to lean on him. No. Greg,
Speaker 1: Something that we spoke about before the year as kind
Speaker 1: of a comp um for Anthony Miller and Mitell Trobinsky
Speaker 1: was last year Jared Goff leaning on Cooper Cup out
Speaker 1: of the slot, and we're kind of seeing that relationship
Speaker 1: developed now between Trabinsky and Anthony Miller Trobisky. Remember, still
Speaker 1: a young quarterback needs somebody to lean on. Yes, Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson look great this past week, but I really like
Speaker 1: the usage out of Anthony Miller, at least the six
Speaker 1: targets in four straight games out of him. I will say, Um,
Speaker 1: the Vikings this week is not the greatest matchup, but
Speaker 1: then gets the Lions again, the Giants, the Rams and
Speaker 1: what should be a lot of points scored the Packers
Speaker 1: and the forty niners, So everything outside of the Vikings
Speaker 1: this week looks like a pretty favorable schedule moving forward
Speaker 1: for Anthony Miller. All right, so there you go, Anthony Miller.
Speaker 1: Maybe now at the time to buy achieve even after
Speaker 1: this game it doesn't go great, It's an opportunity. How
Speaker 1: badly do you want him? So I have thirteen dollars
Speaker 1: left in my home league. I'm gonna put it all
Speaker 1: on Anthony. You want him, I want him. He's the
Speaker 1: top waiver, the top wide receiver in the end of
Speaker 1: the week, and I would say he is the number
Speaker 1: two add overall beast behind Shot Penny. This week is
Speaker 1: not available in my leagtas would you rather want Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller or Shot Penny if you can only pick up really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: other water receevers. We like QT, who is back this week. Finally,
Speaker 1: We spoken about him a lot recently. His first game
Speaker 1: back without Will Fuller but with d Maarous Thomas. Would
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how his role has changed, if
Speaker 1: at all, with him being back in a lot of
Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, it seems like he's had enough time
Speaker 1: now to get completely healthy. I like the fact that
Speaker 1: the Texans left him out of that game before the
Speaker 1: by and then obviously gets to buy as the extra
Speaker 1: week to get right. But let's not forget what he did.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a game this year against the
Speaker 1: Colts fifteen targets, eleven receptions over a hundred yards receiving,
Speaker 1: the very next game against the Cowboys seven targets, six receptions,
Speaker 1: fifty one yards and a touchdown, and a reminder that
Speaker 1: will Fuller was on the field for both of those games.
Speaker 1: Will Fuller was he percent Maybe not. He was also
Speaker 1: dealing with the hamstring injury to Marius Thomas, still finding
Speaker 1: his footing learning the offense here under Bill O'Brien and
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans so well, I do think that Marrius
Speaker 1: Thomas gets more involved he had the bye week to
Speaker 1: learn the offense. I think kik qt again a common
Speaker 1: theme slot wide receiver here is going to be that
Speaker 1: safety valve for Shaun Watson when he's not just peppering
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins with targets. So I really do like him
Speaker 1: a lot. Don't forget about Kiki q t still only
Speaker 1: own in thirty percent of leagues. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people dropped him because he was on that bye week. Right.
Speaker 1: If the Texans could just get a serviceable running back,
Speaker 1: this offense next year is going to be fun. I've
Speaker 1: already heard people kind of float out the idea of
Speaker 1: Levion Bell joining the Texans in the off season. God
Speaker 1: imagine this offense with Hopkins qt will Fuller back maybe
Speaker 1: mid season and then is he under contract next year?
Speaker 1: I'm not will be back at some point and then
Speaker 1: the first spend a first round picking an offensive lineman. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, there you go. I mean, the defense has
Speaker 1: has come around, really, offensive line is what they really
Speaker 1: really need. I did pick Houston to win this division.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that I did as well you were.
Speaker 1: I Mean, something that I'm learning is that they were
Speaker 1: a popular pick to make it to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: on this network. I know Gabe had them, I believe
Speaker 1: I believe Mike Blue had had them going to the
Speaker 1: the championship games. So a lot of people were excited
Speaker 1: about Let's not forget who picked Kansas City. That's you, Greg,
Speaker 1: thanks man, appreciate that. But the team right behind them, arguably, uh,
Speaker 1: the second third hottest team in the league l A
Speaker 1: Bowl this year? Uh, any other wide receivers that we
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned. You want to pick up, Yeah, I'll just
Speaker 1: mention these guys real quick. John Ross played in the
Speaker 1: snatches pad this past week, led the team in targets
Speaker 1: with six, all two of them for thirty nine yards
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. We know that A. J. Green is
Speaker 1: not going to play at least this week. He might
Speaker 1: be out until December. So John Ross is getting an
Speaker 1: opportunity made the most of it this past week. Dante
Speaker 1: Moncrief had the big play against the Colts in the
Speaker 1: revenge game, but the Jaguars have been playing from behind
Speaker 1: in more games. I think they'll be doing the same
Speaker 1: thing against the Steelers this week. So Moncrief has played well.
Speaker 1: And then Za Jones, and this is more so in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, had a great, great game against the Jets.
Speaker 1: He is also paying playing more out of the slot
Speaker 1: this past year. And again this is you know, we're
Speaker 1: very quick to write rookie players off. Last year looked terrible,
Speaker 1: but I mean the Bills did not have you know,
Speaker 1: great quarterback play. Tyrod Taylor was fine last year, but
Speaker 1: he you know, he didn't light it up by any means.
Speaker 1: If the Bills can somehow get a like maybe Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is at least a serviceable quarterback because A Jones
Speaker 1: is going to have value down the Shreds playing out
Speaker 1: of the slot. So in deeper leagues specifically, I know
Speaker 1: the Bills are on a by. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: mention Za Jones. He's been playing very very well as
Speaker 1: of late. Right, it's my like A Florio's guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: actually wrote about him last season and then put himself
Speaker 1: up on Twitter about it. Yeah. I was like that, look, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: what are you dealing Floria. Yeah. He also had a
Speaker 1: tweet yesterday about Otani winning and how he's happy because
Speaker 1: it makes Yankee fans salty. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: a bad look, Mike, It's real bad. I was like,
Speaker 1: b J M. I gave him the whole like, shake
Speaker 1: my hand, come on, come on, Mike, you bet in that.
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, I don't know what he said.
Speaker 1: I was like, this was the last Mets with Cookie
Speaker 1: that was actually relevant to send him picture of lasting spillage.
Speaker 1: So there you go. There you go with that stand
Speaker 1: The phone lines would get to you just a second,
Speaker 1: and I want to sign off on YouTube and say goodbye.
Speaker 1: It's all our YouTube audience, Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Ventra,
Speaker 1: Fantash Football Frenzy. They come your way, next to you
Speaker 1: listening on the podcast like sub sky Ridges five stars
Speaker 1: and leave a comment because on the radio will go
Speaker 1: another five minutes or so. Let's get back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines. Frank A four four, four, three, six, seven nine,
Speaker 1: and we go out to Nebraska to talk to Blake.
Speaker 1: What's up Blake? Here? Guys? Who's going wonderful? Hey? Um
Speaker 1: So on eight and two in a twelve team PPR league,
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to sure up my playoffs situation
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make it. Um So,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about trading either mark Ingram, Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: or James White to pick up Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hear what you thought. I have
Speaker 1: a Kirk Cousins and that fits magic. I would treat
Speaker 1: more Hingram for I'm sure for which one? Which one
Speaker 1: do you like better? Though? You don't need to do.
Speaker 1: Who are you running? Max? My starting running backs right now?
Speaker 1: Are DJ? I have? Sorry? Um, I'm a d J.
Speaker 1: I have James Conner, Aaron Jones, James White and mark Ingram.
Speaker 1: So the reason I'm doing it, Frank, he can't play
Speaker 1: all him every week, But is Tom Brady or Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodger is an unquestionable upgrade over Kirk Cousins at this point?
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you say that with a straight face.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying, like his
Speaker 1: matchups going into like week fifteen and sixteen. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull up the strength of schedule real quick for from
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros, which we were using last week to see
Speaker 1: who has the best remaining schedule for quarterbacks. But we talked.
Speaker 1: We spoke about this yesterday. Greg, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom
Speaker 1: Brady haven't been great this year, and I know we'd
Speaker 1: like to project forward, but what do we have to
Speaker 1: go on that says that these guys are going to
Speaker 1: be much better than Kirk Cousins down the stretch. I
Speaker 1: understand that you can't play all those running backs, but
Speaker 1: having the versatility and having you know, those matchups to
Speaker 1: be able to play I like that. I like that idea.
Speaker 1: So are looking at schedules here. They like Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Ben Roethlisberger. Those are guys that all have
Speaker 1: their inside the top seven at strength of schedule remaining,
Speaker 1: so I think I would I would rather lean towards
Speaker 1: getting one of those guys even on the stretch here.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have
Speaker 1: the name value, but I haven't really done much. Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: according to Fantasy pro Stranger schedule, has the twenty third
Speaker 1: best scheduled remaining and Aaron Rodgers as the six. I
Speaker 1: will also say that Kirk Cousins has the third hardest
Speaker 1: schedule according to this list. So all three of those
Speaker 1: guys don't have great remaining schedules. If you want to
Speaker 1: try and turn Ingram into a breeze, a Cam Newton
Speaker 1: or a Big Ben whose schedules are a little bit
Speaker 1: more favorable, I'm more likely to do that. But Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Tom Brady. This is one of those situations
Speaker 1: where I'm taking the name off the back of the
Speaker 1: jersey here. It's hard for me. It sounds really hard
Speaker 1: for me to take the name off the back of
Speaker 1: the jersey at this point in the year. And I
Speaker 1: get it. I was wronging about I was wrong about
Speaker 1: Brady last year when it came down to this, and
Speaker 1: Rogers already saw this out of him. There were weeks
Speaker 1: where I I had Jared Goldfranks, That's what thought. It
Speaker 1: was crazy. That's what I'm saying. I was wrong last
Speaker 1: year were you were doing that, And I don't want
Speaker 1: to make the same mistake again. So I'll just be
Speaker 1: on your side in this one. Let me before we
Speaker 1: wrap up, Frank tight Ends to pick up for this man,
Speaker 1: Jeff Hireman, can you take me high? You're man? Um
Speaker 1: leads to Denver Broncos and red zone targets. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: when it comes to when it comes to Hireman and
Speaker 1: my my buddies listen to the program, they're they're hoping
Speaker 1: that Jeff Hireman isn't the new rat. Oh the rat,
Speaker 1: the rat Damien Ratley. That was a flash in the pan.
Speaker 1: If I rec hopefully Hireman is better than that. Um
Speaker 1: other tight ends Smith back to back and a touchdowns?
Speaker 1: Is there anything here? Um? I like the fact that
Speaker 1: both of his touchdowns have come from within the red zone,
Speaker 1: so they're clearly drawing up plays. And since the Landy
Speaker 1: Walker has gone down, he's been on the field of
Speaker 1: ton Like he's playing a large majority of the snaps.
Speaker 1: The thing is the Titans while we talk about targets
Speaker 1: share with guys like Corey Davis, and the reason he
Speaker 1: has such a high target share is because the Titans
Speaker 1: don't really throw the ball all that much. Greg. If
Speaker 1: you look at their offense at their core, they still
Speaker 1: do want to be a run first team. They want
Speaker 1: to pound the rock with Derrick Henry and with Dion Lewis.
Speaker 1: So I'll take a stab on John Smith kind of
Speaker 1: similar to what we sawt of Chris Herndon earlier in
Speaker 1: the year, where Herndon was a scoring touchdowns every single week.
Speaker 1: Maybe Jonod Smith can keep this streak going. But for
Speaker 1: how long is he gonna do that? Because in the
Speaker 1: games where he doesn't score touchdown, he's not going to
Speaker 1: be great. We could say that about a lot of
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. But he is training in the
Speaker 1: right direction, He's on the field a lot, he's get
Speaker 1: taking the red zone targets, So I am intrigued by him.
Speaker 1: I will say I would rather own Jeff Hireman or
Speaker 1: even Ricky Seals Jones because Ricky Seals Jones just had
Speaker 1: a just had nine targets in that game against the
Speaker 1: Kanda City Chiefs. Yeah, Ricky, Ricky Sealers Jones out of
Speaker 1: know where? Really? Uh? Monstro's game this past week r
Speaker 1: s j out of nowhere? Like okay, i'twhere I got it.
Speaker 1: You didn't like that one. I thought I thought it
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: We told you to take the pick up the Cardinals
Speaker 1: this week against the Raiders. Cardinals are trying, Raiders are
Speaker 1: not yes, and look just stream m of defense against
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Moving forward, their offense has been putrid. Derek
Speaker 1: Carr hasn't looked good. They have our team off throw
Speaker 1: out there. Surprised they were unknown to my league Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers this week, Gregor not bad, not bad Frenzies and
Speaker 1: next for Frank Staffle. My name is Drex Susman. Good
Speaker 1: luck in your waivers this week. Talk to again tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We hope h
