Speaker 1: whether it's social media, whatever, we appreciate you being here.

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: This was a not a fun week of fantasy football.

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Not a lot of points, a lot of guys getting hurt.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: It was a very weird week all around, just like

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: great teams losing to bad teams. It was kind of

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: we said that about last week too, so the last

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: two weeks kind of too to forget.

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we no longer have any undefeated teams in the

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: National Football League with both the forty nine Ers and

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Eagles losing, and then.

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Just a whole lot of weirdness.

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: We will have our biggest takeaways from Week six, plus

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: the top performers and biggest disappointments of the week. Let's start,

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: as we always do, with some fantasy headlines and injuries.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Were the big story for the forty nine ers.

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: A couple of big ones, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel,

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: both left the game as the Niners ended up losing

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. Now we wait to see how

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: serious they are. Deebo had an X ray on his

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: shoulder that was negative. An MRI is coming. McCaffrey had

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: an oblique injury. He came back in for a play

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: or two and then left to go to the locker room.

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: So at this point, if you have one of those guys,

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: you are probably looking for some backup options. Who are

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: the waiver wire targets you might be looking at.

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason would be the top running back that I'm

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 3: interested in right now. He played more snaps than Elijah Mitchell,

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: had more carries, more yards, scored a touchdown. But I

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: do think Elijah Mitchell is worth targeting as well because

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: I don't think one single back replaces McCaffrey. Hopefully he

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: is able though, to suit up this week. From the

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: passing game, I don't think there's a wide receiver there

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: that I really want to pick up.

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think the next man up is

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: probably Juwan Jennings, but I don't know that he's gonna

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: get enough love to really make it worthwhile. I do

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: wonder if Deebo is out, does this mean George Kittle

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: sort of comes back to life, because aside from the

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: one big game he had with the three touchdowns against

48
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, George Kittle really hasn't offered much in fantasy.

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got three or four games with fewer

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: than five fantasy points. So if Deebo can't go, maybe

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: this means George Kittle gets some of those short targets

52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: and gets a whole lot more work in the passing game.

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: Brandon ayukal just keep being awesome.

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to keep Brandon ayuk is just going

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: to eat like that I think has been well established

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: at this point. Meanwhile, in Chicago, Justin Fields suffered a

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: hand injury to his right hand, a dislocated thumb in

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the game against the Vikings. Now the good news is

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: there are no fractures. X rays were negative. He will

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: have an MRI I also on Monday to determine if

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: there's any additional damage. Tyson Beagent came in and I

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: think the first play he had he got blitched and sacked,

63
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: fumbled and scooped and scored. It was all bad for him.

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: I would put that on him. There's just nobody blocked

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: for him on that play. But can we trust Dj

66
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Moore if it's Badge that's at quarterback for this team.

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: I watch a lot.

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: Of football, and when Badging came in, I was like, who,

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you don't have a choice. Like

70
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: the Bears next week at the Raiders, that is not

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: a matchup that you're gonna to be avoiding. There's six

72
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: teams on by next week because there was only two

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: this week. Why not make it four and four? But

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: six teams on buye. We keep talking about the injuries

75
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: that continue to pile up right now. I just don't

76
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: see a league where, unless you're in a very shallow league,

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: I find it hard to believe that you have a

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: better option than Dj Moore sitting on your bench.

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean twelve team leagues. It's certainly deeper than

80
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: at you are. You can't really get away from Dj

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: Moore ten team leagues. Depending on your situation, you might

82
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: not be able to get away from him. Let's just

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: hope that in the week to come, if justin fields

84
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: can't go badge it gets enough work. But he somehow

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: builds a rapport with DJ Moore and they start getting

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the football to him more consistently. It was good to

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: see Darniel Mooney kind of get involved a little bit

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday as well. But you know, who knows how

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: deep this passing game is gonna go or if they

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: trust him to throw the ball a lot at all.

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: We will find out more.

92
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: Injury news, we knew that Anthony Richardson was already out.

93
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew got the start against the Jaguars. He did

94
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: not look good, but there are reports that Richardson is

95
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: considering having surgery on his shoulder, which would end his season. Now,

96
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the good news is there are reportedly no torn ligaments

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: in the throwing shoulder. But in terms of whether he

98
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: wants to just rest and see how it heals up

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: or just go on and get it fixed, we still

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: sort of are waiting to find out. So in that case,

101
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: should we still be holding on to Anthony Richardson?

102
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: If you are, That video hurts my heart so much

103
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: like Anthony Richardson was my guy at the quarterback position.

104
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: I have a lot of teams with Richardson this year.

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: If you have an IR spot, easily hold on. If

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: you're in a two quarterback format, I would hold on.

107
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: Even in one quarterback. I guess it depends on the

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: rest of your team. If you have a lot of

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: other injuries, you can go ahead and get rid of him.

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: But I think I would try to hold.

111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: On until we get word that he is officially undergoing

112
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: this surgery, because then you could let him go. But

113
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: if he ends up coming back and playing football again,

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: I want him on my fans.

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Somebody's going to snatch him up if you put him

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: out there on the waiver wire and there's even a

117
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: slight chance that he's going to come back. I guess

118
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: this is more an advertisement for why you should have

119
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: an IR spot in your fantasy league. If you don't

120
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: have him in your league, you beg your commissioner, harass

121
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: the commissioner, and get yourself an IR spot so you

122
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: can just put him there.

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: You can hold on to him and it's all good. There,

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: So there, it is all right. So those are the headlines.

125
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: Now we got the things that we learned, our biggest

126
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: takeaways from week six. We have a couple each, and

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you're staying in Indianapolis for your first one.

128
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Colts running backs with Gardner Minshew are going.

129
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: To get targeted a whole bunch.

130
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: And that's something that I wasn't banking on with Anthony

131
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: Richardson because he can run, he also has a laser

132
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: of an arm and could throw downfield like he could

133
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: throw fifty yards while falling down. So he's not gonna

134
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: be looking to dump it off all the time, but

135
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: Minshew will be. Yesterday, Zach Moss played forty nine percent

136
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: of the snaps to forty three percent. They both had

137
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: just seven carries from us eight carries for Taylor, it

138
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 3: did not matter. Seven targets for Zach Molls, twenty five routes,

139
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 3: six targets, twenty one routes for Jonathan Taylor. I think

140
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: these are two backs markets that you could just keep

141
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: starting moving forward, Like I do think we will eventually

142
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: get to the point where Taylor overtakes too much of

143
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: the work and Moss is not someone you feel great starting.

144
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: But until we get there, keep starting both of these guys.

145
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: Might as just keep starting both of them.

146
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I do know yesterday I think Gamescript kind of got

147
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: away from Indianapolis. They fell behind kind of big and

148
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: at some point had to kind of abandon running the football,

149
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: and Minshew just was the struggle bus yesterday throwing three interceptions.

150
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: So uh, you know that I think had an impact,

151
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: but it is, you know, I think it's interesting that

152
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: I think Minshi was.

153
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: Going to work those guys into the passing game.

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: For me, Drake London is back and like kind of

155
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts two, it's been amazing the last few weeks.

156
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, we go back to Week one when Drake

157
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: London had one target and no catches. Since then, he's

158
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: been targeted at least six times in every game. Had

159
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: a huge game this past week against Washington where he

160
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: went over one hundred yards. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts has had

161
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: six or more targets in three of his last four games.

162
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown this week after having the eleven

163
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: targets last week. So finally it looks like I don't

164
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: know if you know Arthur Smith has been shamed into

165
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: it or he just came this decision on his own.

166
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't care, but the targets are going to the

167
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: main pass catchers. The last two weeks between Drake London

168
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts, they've had more than forty five percent

169
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: of the targets, they've had nearly sixty percent of the

170
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: air yards.

171
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: So it's finally.

172
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Looking like what we want to let Ben Robinson still

173
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: getting his targets as well, so all the playmakers finally

174
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: getting involved. You know, we're seeing less of mac Hollands.

175
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, they traded for Van Jefferson. I think he

176
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: had two targets. So, like, the offense is looking the

177
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: way we want it to. I hope he sticks with

178
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: us because like, you know, look, I know they're not winning,

179
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: so I hope he doesn't just abandon this.

180
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: But you know, it's looking good right now.

181
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: Arthur Smith is Circe and this podcast mean you were

182
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: like Rebecca Shame just walking behind her shame.

183
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

184
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: But Jame, it's not like we're doing this just because

185
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: we have a personal vendetta against him.

186
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: We're like, these two guys.

187
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: Are very good at football, please just throw them the ball.

188
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: And it's worked. It's worked.

189
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because they didn't. The next thing

190
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: is to get Kyle Pits more yards. You know, I

191
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: saw the stat last week that when Pitt's has eighty

192
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: or more receiving yards.

193
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: They're six and zero.

194
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: He only had forty three yards this week, so you

195
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: just got to bump that number up a little bit.

196
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: Maybe that won't help you.

197
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: They also lost a home which, now Desmond Ritter, we

198
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: can stop saying that he's never lost at home, and

199
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: now maybe we actually, you know, maybe get that quarterback

200
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: change if he doesn't start playing better, get a little

201
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: Taylor Heineke action in there.

202
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: I think would be okay with that, you know, fit

203
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: Drake Lenson's down there somewhere. I'm speaking of quarterback play.

204
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: We had a quarterback kind of come back to earth

205
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: a little bit this week.

206
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I learned that brock Party is immortal, just like

207
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: the rest of us. I had two weeks ago, was like, hey,

208
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: he's playing the Dallas Cowboys defense. Let's let's exercise caution.

209
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: And then he had his best fantasy game of the year,

210
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: and I was like, cool, this guy's matchup.

211
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: We could just go ahead and start him.

212
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: And he struggled yesterday one hundred and twenty five yards,

213
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 3: one touchdown, one interception.

214
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: But what worries me?

215
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: Look, the Browns defense is awesome. We were talking before

216
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: the show. This is the first bad weather game. He's

217
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: played in the NFL a lot of reasons to be like, Okay,

218
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna overlook this for Brock Party, it's one game.

219
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: What concerns me is the fact that Trent Williams is out,

220
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel. I've been the person a lot

221
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: of the time saying like, hey, Brock Purty on the

222
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, amazing you take away all the weapons

223
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: and everything. Probably not so much. So that is something

224
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: that I'm definitely keeping a close eye on moving forward.

225
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: I think everybody's gonna be watching to see how healthy

226
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: the Niners are going into this week, because that's gonna

227
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: have a big impact on Purdy and a lot of guys,

228
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: you know, and just that whole offense and who you're starting,

229
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: because you know, losing players always stinks. When you're losing

230
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: your best players on offense, it's going to have an impact.

231
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: I don't care. Three and like a quarter, Yeah, I mean,

232
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: it was just rough for me.

233
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: We spent all week debating whether it was Keyante ingram

234
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: or Amari de Mercado. Maybe the answer is none of

235
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: the above. It was not great for the Cardinals backfield.

236
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: They spread the opportunities around between three different guys. I mean,

237
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: you had Ingram with ten carries, Williams with eight carries.

238
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: De Mercado played the most snaps, only had two carries.

239
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs ran the ball seven times. Nobody was particularly

240
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: efficient with their opportunities, and in the end, all three

241
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: of those guys, all three of the running backs, turned

242
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: out to be really underwhelming for fantasy And I get

243
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: the sense that's what this is going to be for

244
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: the next few weeks until James Connor comes back.

245
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: He was the guy getting most of the work. He

246
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: was doing very well with it.

247
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know that the Cardinals are gonna trust

248
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: any one person to be efficient enough or productive enough

249
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: to just give them a whole big workload. So sometimes

250
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the answer is none, and apparently that's the case with

251
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals running backs.

252
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: We do have.

253
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Answers to some other things, including the guys who boosted

254
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: you up or maybe let you down. We'll also talk

255
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: some waiver wire picks coming up a little bit later

256
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: on in the show. Stick around for plenty more merriment

257
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: and information, all of it in one here on the

258
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. Dive into the top performers for

259
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Week six heading into the Monday night football game to

260
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: a tongue of Ioloa continuing to put up big at

261
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: numbers twenty two and a half points for him, three

262
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns Raheem Mostert aka Hereheem must start two rushing

263
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns also are receiving score thirty four point two points

264
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: as he ran over the Panthers Almon Ross Saint Brown

265
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Big Day twelve catches, a buck twenty four and a

266
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: touchdown that was good for thirty plus points. Travis Kelce

267
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: going back to Thursday night nine catches one hundred and

268
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: twenty four yards twenty one almost twenty one and a

269
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: half points for him.

270
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker made.

271
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: Six field goals that was good for eighteen points, and

272
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense going against the Bears five sacks, three takeaways,

273
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown score gave up thirteen points that was good

274
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: for twenty one fantasy points. Let's break this down with

275
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: some of the guys that maybe were on the list

276
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: and some of the guys who maybe were just off

277
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the list of top performers, and Tyreek Hill had a

278
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of great things he did. Maybe the best thing

279
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: he did was take a selfie doing a backflip.

280
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: Though on Sunday, everything he does is cool, like he

281
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: might be the coolest human walking the planet right now,

282
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: it is insane, but I know some of you are

283
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: out there, like, oh, he won me my Week six

284
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: catches one hundred and sixty three yards and a touchdown,

285
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: twenty eight fantasy points. Yeah, that's an average game so

286
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: far for Tyreek Hill because he has top twenty eight

287
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: fantasy points in four of his six games, one hundred

288
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: and fifty or more yards in four of his six games.

289
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: He scored a touchdown in five of those six. He

290
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: has given you double digit fantasy points in all of them.

291
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: And currently he is averaging twenty seven fantasy points per

292
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: game and is on pace for two thousand, three hundred

293
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: and six yards and the greatest wide receiver fantasy season,

294
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: like blowing out what Cooper Cup did two years ago.

295
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: It is insane right now. The production on a weekly basis,

296
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Tyreek Kill is given.

297
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: He is less than two hundred yards away from one thousand,

298
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: and it's week six, Week.

299
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: Six cheap code. That's insane.

300
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: How good he has been this year, it was like

301
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: everybody's like you left Patrick Mahomes.

302
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: There's no way you're gonna be as good. He's better.

303
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, stats wise, he is better now away from Patrick Mahomes,

304
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: which is an amazing thing to say. Michael Pittman Junior

305
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: continues to have a very good season, and we weren't

306
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: sure what to make of Pittman.

307
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Or the Colts passing game.

308
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Florio mentioned Anthony Richardson with the big, strong arm,

309
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: but accuracy was going to be an issue. Plus he

310
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: was going to run a lot of people, myself included,

311
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: were off of Michael Pittman. But he continues to get

312
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: looks in targets and it hasn't mattered who the quarterback is.

313
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: When Richardson was there, they were throwing to Pittman. When

314
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: it's Gardner Minshew, they've been throwing to Pittman. So he

315
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: is the bonafied wide receiver one. By the way, Josh

316
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Downs if you haven't gone to get him, if he's

317
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: out there in the waiver wire, go get Josh Downs.

318
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: Because's starting to get some more opportunities, but Michael Pittman

319
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: continues to ball out. So from a veteran receiver to

320
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: a rookie who's having himself quite a year.

321
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: Right now, Yeah, Zay Flowers found pay dirt for the

322
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: first time yesterday this season. But what I care about

323
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: is the consistent volume that he gives us. In the

324
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: consistent fantasy production, he is good for double digit fantasy

325
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: points every single week. But in six games so far

326
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: this season, Zay Flowers has led the Ravens and targets

327
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: four times, and specifically, in the five games that Mark

328
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: Andrews has played, Zay Flowers has led them in three

329
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: of those five games in target and in just as

330
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: a whole. With those two both on the field, Flowers

331
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: is averaging seven point six targets per game to six point.

332
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: Eight for Mark Andrews.

333
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: There is a new top target in Baltimore. It looks

334
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: like right now, obviously you're still starting Mark Andrews each

335
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: and every week, but you should be doing the same

336
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: for Jay.

337
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Flowers, I think moving forward, Yeah, I mean, it's it's

338
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: pretty much the Flowers and Andrews show. I know Beckham

339
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: had a nice play, a couple of nice plays, but

340
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: he's been banged up.

341
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: Rashad Bateman, Yeah, it might be over for Rashad Bateman. Yeah. Oh,

342
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: he barely gets on the field at this point.

343
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Travis Etn has blossomed into a playmaker. I mean, we

344
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: thought he could be that when he was drafted out

345
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: of Clemson, but it's taken a couple of years. But

346
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: now it seems like it's happening. He's had four games

347
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: at least seventeen Fantasy points. He's playing about eighty percent

348
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: of the snaps, getting about sixty five percent of the

349
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: rushing attempts, and when it comes to catching the ball

350
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, he's pretty much it. He's got

351
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: twenty four targets. The next closest Jaguar running back has

352
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I think three. It's pretty much the Travis Eats show

353
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: there in the backfield. And he's starting to score touchdowns.

354
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns in his last couple of games. So he's

355
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, very quietly has become an

356
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: RB one for fantasy and should be in your lineup

357
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: every week. Before it was like a Hey, do I

358
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: start Etn or this guy? At this point you're starting

359
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Travis Etn. That's great. There's another guy that is looking

360
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: like an RB one right now too that I'm happy

361
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: that he's back for us.

362
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Breeze Hall is back in a big way.

363
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: And two weeks ago they came out and they were like,

364
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: all right, training wheels are off, no more snap count.

365
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: We're letting Breeze go. And then he went off against

366
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: the Broncos and you're like, cool, it was awesome to see,

367
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: but it's the Denver Broncos. They give up a career

368
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: high a running backs on a weekly basis. Then he

369
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: gets the Eagles, who had been the exact opposite. They

370
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: had allowed the fewest yards, fuse fantasy points, all of

371
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: that to running backs. Breeze Hall in Week six, sixty

372
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: eight percent of the snaps, twelve of sixteen RB carries,

373
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: twenty three routes, five targets led all running backs there

374
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: in receiving usage, ninety three yards, touchdown, and twenty fantasy points,

375
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 3: by far the best performance any running back has had

376
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: against the Eagles.

377
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: Prior to this, it was Raheem I'm.

378
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: Sorry, Remandre Stevenson, who was around fourteen fantasy points in

379
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: Week one. So Breese Hall is back and potentially looking

380
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 3: like a league winner down.

381
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 2: The stretch, which is kind of what we were hoping

382
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: for from him.

383
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I know, we knew he was dealing with the injury,

384
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: and they had Dalvin Cook there, but we were hoping

385
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: that he would start to get that opportunity, and he has.

386
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: He's doing the most with it.

387
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of doing the most with their opportunities, Kyen Williams,

388
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: who had a big day against the Cardinals on Sunday,

389
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: twenty carries for one hundred and fifty eight yards and

390
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. I think the issue for Kyron Williams,

391
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: aside from the fact that he looks like he's got

392
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: an ankle injury that's getting checked out via an MRI,

393
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: is that Sean McVeigh sometimes forgets to run the football.

394
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, two weeks ago he had twenty five carries

395
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: against the Colts, went for one hundred and three yards

396
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: and a couple of rushing touchdowns. Last week against the Eagles,

397
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: just thirteen carries still went for more than four yards

398
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: of carry. It's that Philadelphia defense and then the big

399
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: game on Sunday.

400
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 2: He is the guy.

401
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: Yes, every once in a while they sprinkle Ronnie Rivers

402
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: in there when Williams needs to catch his breath, but

403
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: this has been the Kyn Williams show. He's the reason

404
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: that cam Akers now collects his male in Minneapolis. These

405
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: when they get him the ball. He is being productive,

406
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: and this is a guy that, look, we talk about

407
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of really great waiver wire

408
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: pickups in the early season. Two of them are in

409
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles between Pooka and Akua and Kyen Williams.

410
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: Williams has become an RB.

411
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: One now and he's a guy that I can't see

412
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: how you get him out of your lineup unless you

413
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: somehow have just you know, been blessed with good running backs.

414
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: Karen Williams needs to be started pretty much every week

415
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: for a lot of people.

416
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: And on Pooka, I've seen people yesterday be like people

417
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: were tweeting me like, oh, it's over for Pooka.

418
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: It's one down week.

419
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: And he had a touchdown go through his hands just.

420
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: Week and he still saw targets. I mean, look, he

421
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: still had had seven targets. Like, why are we freaking out?

422
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: It was a bad game. It happens for everybody. Well,

423
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: speaking of actual disappointments in fantasy, we do have a couple.

424
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I want to believe in Damian Pierce. It's getting harder

425
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: to believe in Damian Piers.

426
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it wasn't to me yesterday the fact that

427
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: he didn't give you like three point four fantasy points.

428
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: Is obviously big and disappointing, but you could justify that

429
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: at times while being like it was a tough matchup.

430
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: Their O line isn't completely healthy yet. But what worries

431
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: me is one, for the first time all year, he

432
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: lost volume, and two he got straight out outplayed by

433
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary yesterday, fifty two percent of the snaps went

434
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: to Singletary, just thirty five percent for Pierce. They split

435
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: carries twelve for Singletary, thirteen for Pierce. It was Singletary

436
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: that was running the routes and getting the targets thirty

437
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: four yards for Damian Pierce, sixty two for Devin Singletary.

438
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 3: It is highly, highly concerning because volume is what had

439
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: been propelling Damian Pierce and keeping him in the conversation

440
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 3: as a fantasy starter. They're on by this week. Then

441
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: they get the Panthers, which is the old get right spot.

442
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: I think both of those running backs are in play

443
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: in week eight. I know we're getting ahead of ourselves here,

444
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: but if you have Damian Pierce right now, I think

445
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: outside of that one run where he took the entire

446
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: like D line down to the one yard line. It's

447
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: been a rough season and it was a rough game.

448
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I just I you know, I really believed

449
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: I draft him in a lot of spots, but so

450
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: far the early returns have not been great. And it's

451
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: time to get really worried because, as you mentioned, Devin

452
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Singletary starting to show up in that offense. Kirk Cousins,

453
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: I know he didn't have Justin Jefferson, but they were

454
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: playing the Bears and it felt like you could still

455
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: at least believe that you're gonna get some decent production

456
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: out of Kirk Cousins. Instead, you get fewer than nine

457
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: Fantasy points from Kirk Ochains. Look, it was nice to

458
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: see Jordan Addison get in the in the end zone,

459
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: but this was not what I was hoping for for him.

460
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: And I think what we're seeing is Kirk Cousins sort

461
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: of turning into Kirk Cousins right where you get those

462
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: big blow up games, those high ceiling games, and yeah,

463
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: games like this where the floor kind of falls out

464
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: from underneath in a matchup that you feel like should be,

465
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, a positive one, and now makes you wonder

466
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: because the rest of the schedule gets a lot tougher

467
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks. Can you trust Kirk Cousins

468
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,800
