1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

Speaker 1: in the matrix. Got a big show for you as

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: always on this Monday, we are joined by producer Justin

Speaker 1: and the specialists. You have a cast of dozens behind

Speaker 1: the scenes. UH. And shout out to producer hythe Them,

Speaker 1: again for the second time. So have fun with that,

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: UM and of course joined here on screen UH in

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: boxes with my pal Michael F. Florio and Florida. I

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: think that I think the Bills are just scored again.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: While I was doing that introduction there, I put it

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: out on Twitter last night. Marcus. It's weird living in

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: a world where the Bills are the best team in

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I had some people you know mentioned

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: in my mentions like they're not the best. There's still

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks and these other and I'm like, hey, let

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: me enjoy this one. They bill just went into Kansas

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: City and routed the Chiefs like it wasn't even close

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: in the second half. I am. I'm pretty excited about

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: them right now. Absolutely, you should be. They looked fantastic

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. As you said, they dominated Kansas

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: City pretty much from start to finish. Even a long

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: lightning delay couldn't slow down that Buffalo offense. And they

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: were very much are in the mix. Maybe they're not

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: the best team, but they're certainly in the conversation. UM.

33
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: We talked about the Chargers before the show too. They are.

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: They're very much in that conversation too, after what they

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: did against the Browns on Sunday afternoon at SOFI Stadium. UM,

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: we have played to talk about though. On this show,

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: we will hand out some way too early fantasy awards

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: as we get ready to wrap up Week five. We

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: will pick the new hotness off the waiver wire, and

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of course we will preview the Monday Night Games Night

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: between the Colts and the Ravens. But first let's get

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: started with some fantasy headlines, shall we We will start

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle, where the news is not great for the Seahawks.

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson expected to be back around week ten. He

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: is going to have finger surgery. Of course, if you

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: watched the game on Thursday night, you saw Wilson and

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: that finger after he hit it on Aaron Donald just

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: looking kind of sideways and pretty gross. So that means

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: we got the Gino Smith show for the next several

50
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: weeks there in Seattle. First question is he a simple one?

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Would you add Gino Smith to any rosters anywhere? I

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: think Gino Smith is in play in two quarterback formats,

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: any league where you have to start two QB super flex,

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. I mean he came out

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: and looks great this past Thursday, Marcus, and uh if

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: if Tyler Lockett doesn't fall on that one play that

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: led to an interception, maybe he leads a comeback. Who knows,

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: but he was definitely playing great. I will will say though,

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: in one quarterback leagues, I think you probably have better

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: options out there, either on the waiver wire or maybe

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: there's a team out there that has a stud starting

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and a good backup that you could swing a

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: trade with I think in a one QB league you

64
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: could do better than Geno Smith. But Untwio he is

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: definitely in play. I would agree with that. I think

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: what we saw from him on Thursday it was very nice.

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, he played well. Part of it was

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: I think the element of surprise. I mean, the Rams

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: obviously hadn't prepared for Geno Smith. That's not what they

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: were looking for. Um. But you know, the long and

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: short of it is, we have sort of seen the

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Geno Smith movie. Um. You know, there's a reason now

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: that he has kind of turned into a career backup,

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and I think over the long haul, it's gonna be

75
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: hard to trust him on a regular basis. So I'm

76
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: sort of with you there. If you're talking to two

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: quarterback league, I think he's worth a shot, but I

78
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: think it more standard, more traditional leagues. Um, you're probably

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: looking else on the waiver wire if you need quarterback help.

80
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: If you lost Russell Wilson, Uh, you need to find

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: a replacement for him. Um. But if we're not doing

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the Geno Smith thing, which I think most people aren't,

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people are still about DK Metcalf and

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett so how worried should we be about these

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: guys for the next, you know, five or six weeks.

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: I think you have to lower them your expectations for

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: them a bit until Russell Wilson comes back. The good

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: news is Gino Smith's top targets in in the limited

89
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: action he saw in week five where Tyler Lockett and

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, so he is clearly still gonna throw those

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: guys the ball a bunch, but I think it takes them.

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: They were both like in the wide receiver one discussion

93
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. I think you gotta lower them more

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: into like that wide receiver to range, maybe just outside

95
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: the top twelve for DK Metcalf, a little bit lower

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: for Tyler Lockett. But I'm still thinking, like as of

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: right now, if I have those guys in week six,

98
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm probably starting them just based on how good those

99
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: two are alone, and I want to see a full

100
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: game with them with Gino Smith before I really even

101
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: consider taking them out of my lineup. I mean, the

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: gap in targets between the top two and everybody else,

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty significant. I mean, you've got lock it in

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: metcap Metcalp with thirty eight targets, Uh, lock it with

105
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: thirty five. The next closest is Freddie Swain at at fifteen.

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: So it is a concentrated offense, which I think is

107
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: the thing that at least offers you some hope. Even

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: with Gino Smith, it's not like he's gonna go out

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: and start spraying the football around to you know, the

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: will dis leads of the world, um, you know, and

111
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: getting those guys more involved. It is still going to

112
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: run mostly through Metcap and Lockett. So the targets, the

113
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: opportunity you're going to be there. Um, I think the

114
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: yards might not be there. I don't expect to see

115
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Gino Smith throwing up moonballs down field for Tyler Lockett

116
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: the way that Russell Wilson was. So that's probably where

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: the biggest hit comes in terms of their fantasy production. Uh.

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of fantasy production, it just went south for the

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Giants in terms of injuries. On Sunday, se Kwon Barkley

120
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: leaves the game after stepping on someone's foot and rolling

121
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: his cool. Uh. Daniel Jones left with a concussion after

122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: just taking a wicked hit trying to scramble near the

123
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: goal line. Kenny Golladay had a hyper extended knee. He

124
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: ends up leaving the game. We're still sort of waiting

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: on word for what happens for all these guys in

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: long term. But um, I mean, this is a team

127
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Florida that's already had lost Sterling Shepherd and Darius Slayton

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: to injuries. They ended up losing to Darius Tony late

129
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: in the game because he threw a punch at somebody

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: after having just what was a ridiculously good day. I mean,

131
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: with this latest round of injuries, does this mean we're

132
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: totally out on the Giants offense? Now? I'm not out

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: fully out on this offense yet because there's still two

134
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: pieces that that are interesting to me. But Marcus really

135
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: like every Friday we give out a DFS lineup on

136
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, and I went with a giant triple stack

137
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: this week and had all three of these players in

138
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: my DFS lineup that I'm just bad luck. I guess

139
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: whoever I pick do not get in your DFS lineups.

140
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: But I feel really bad for Take one Barkley because

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: he just worked his way back from a really severe injury.

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: And if anyone says he's injury prone, you're just telling

143
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: on yourself that you clearly didn't see how he got hurt.

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that could happen to anyone. He just stepped

145
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: on someone else's foot, rolled the ankle. They showed it

146
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: afterwards and it looked pretty bad. But I expect them

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: to be cautious with their franchise running back. And I

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: know we usually say most teams have a franchise quarterback.

149
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: The Giants have a franchise running back. But I think

150
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: they will be cautious and and at the very least,

151
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: I think DeVante Booker will be the lead back next week.

152
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: And I'm interested in that he played. He dominated the snaps,

153
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: he found the end zone, he saw enough touches that

154
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I think at least warrants him being a flex option

155
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: in Week six. And then Darius Tony. I know we're

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about him later when we talk about

157
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Waiver Wire, but I think it's hard to ignore him

158
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: with the game that he just had. Besides that, I

159
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: think Evan Ingram in deep leagues just because they're so

160
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: thin right now at the receiver position. If if Gola

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Day and Shepherd and Slate in the roll out again,

162
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: but after that, yeah, like I'm no interest in Glennon

163
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: or any of those other past catchers there. I mean,

164
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: they need Shepherd and Slaton back in the worst way.

165
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully one or both of those guys can come back

166
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: next week. Hopefully, I mean hopefully none of these injuries

167
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: are really serious, although I know the early talk is

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: that se Quan could miss a couple of games, maybe

169
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: up to four weeks potentially, But it's not as bad

170
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: as originally feareds That is at least a positive, but

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: it's definitely frustrating for the Giants. It's frustrating for fantasy managers.

172
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Um and uh, just just to confirmed, we want no

173
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: parts of Mike Glennon right where we're not doing. No

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: parts of Mike Glennon, okay. Um. A quarterback that we

175
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: do like though, is Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. He was

176
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: hospitalized with a possible throat contusion, which he was not

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the only NFL player that had a throat contusion on

178
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: on Sundays, Like, He's not even the only NFL player

179
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: whose team is based in Ohio that had a throat contusion,

180
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: usually a Brown's line linebacker that also Jeremiah Wisu Corromora

181
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: also had a throat contusion, which is It's not a

182
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: common injury, so for two guys to suffer in the

183
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: same day is a little bit of a weird co coincidence. UM.

184
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Still trying to figure out what this means long term.

185
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: But if if Burrow can't play next week against the Lions,

186
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: which is a great matchup, UM, how do we handle

187
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: the wide receivers there in Cincinnati? Yeah, well, my my

188
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: first question is, like, did Joe Burrow play through this yesterday?

189
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Because if I had to guess, I would guess that

190
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: it happened on that play where he got hit in

191
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: the legs the head and then bounced off the turf

192
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: and and stayed in the game and played through overtime

193
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: and stuff. So if that's the case, hopefully we're not

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: talking about Joe Burrow missing time next week. But if

195
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: he was to miss time, because I can't imagine like

196
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: doing this job with a throat contusion, let alone going

197
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: out and playing football. But if that happens and he

198
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: misses the game next week against the Lines, I think

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: you could still start Jamaar Chase because he has just

200
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: shown that I mean, it just takes one deep ball

201
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a big day. But like someone

202
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: like Tyler Boyd who relies on volume and timing with

203
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and Tee Higgins who was slow to get

204
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: going yesterday after returning from injury. Those two I would

205
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: be a lot more hesitant to get in my line up.

206
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: So I'm still working on the week six rankings, but

207
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm guessing if Burrow sits, I would end up lowering

208
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: those guys two more of flex options, not even wide receiver.

209
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Three's probably I think, yeah, you're right, Chase is probably

210
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: the one guy that you feel like maybe he's gonna

211
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: be okay. Um, but it's it's still kind of dicey,

212
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: and we'll probably monitor this all week now. I know

213
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: some of the early talk is as long as there's

214
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: nothing fractured, uh than Burrow just needs to apparently reduce

215
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: the swelling in his neck, and that's something that can

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: be done relatively quickly. I know that. You know, some

217
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: of the players said that that Burrow didn't sound like

218
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: he had any trouble speaking after the game before he

219
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: went to the hospital, So those are all positive signed.

220
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I didn't even stay at a

221
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: holiday and last night. UM, so I have no idea,

222
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: but we'll just We'll keep an eye on that as

223
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: make it seems so easy. All he's gotta do is

224
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: reduced the swelling in his throat. Right, it's always easier

225
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: when it's somebody else's throat. That it is. Last bit

226
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: of news that's coming out of Pittsburgh. Juju Smith Schuster

227
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: is done for the season. Suffered his shoulder injury on Sunday,

228
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: going to have surgery. That is, according to Ian Rappaport.

229
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: So the year over frustrating year for Juju Smith Schuster. So, um,

230
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: I hate to see it, Florio, but now you look

231
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: at the rest of that Pittsburgh offense. Uh, where do

232
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: those targets? Where do those touches end up going? Yeah,

233
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: it's been a very frustrating year for Juju. The targets

234
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: were down, the air yards were way down. Uh. You

235
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: hate to see him leave the game the way he did.

236
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: But what I think this means for Fantasy is, uh,

237
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: we can continue to trust Deonte Johnson and Naji Harris.

238
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Naji Harris leads running backs and targets per game. Uh.

239
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson had two targets this week, but still ended

240
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: up coming through for Fantasy with that one long touchdown.

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: I think the big winner here though, is Chase Claypool

242
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: because him and Juju had been splitting targets and and

243
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: routes competing to be, you know, the number three weapon

244
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: behind Harris and Deontay Johnson, and now that's solely gonna

245
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: go to Claypool. He led the team yesterday in receiving yards,

246
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: so I think he now becomes like a wide receiver

247
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: three with some upside. But I think the real two

248
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: pieces that we start weekly here doesn't change. It's Nazi,

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: Harris and Deonty Johnson. Yeah, I would agree with that.

250
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean Nagi is still writing high off that nineteen

251
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: target game. Really in the season. We know Deonte is

252
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna get his work. I think for Claypool it's still

253
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: going to be hit or miss. Um. I guess the

254
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: upside is the volume of targets is gonna be really

255
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: good for the Steelers. It's just the quality of targets

256
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: that that you're gonna have to worry about when you

257
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: talk about that Pittsburgh offense. Um. Alright, so that gets

258
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: us to some of the things that we learned after

259
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: watching football through most of Week five. And for you,

260
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: what was one of your takeaways from from what we

261
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: saw this week. We were just talking about him, but

262
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: jam Mark Chase, this guy might be a Fantasy wide

263
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: receiver one. You see there, Bota fide wide receiver one.

264
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: And that's what producer Justin wanted to go with. And

265
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to call him that. He's

266
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: got nineteen targets in the last two games. His target share, Marcus,

267
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: it started off a little bit slow, but each of

268
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the last three weeks it's been over twenty seven percent

269
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: in each game, So he's getting big time volume. The

270
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: air yards are through the roof, like yesterday alone, he

271
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: had a hundred and ninety nine air yards in that game.

272
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: It's been climbing for him as the season has gone on.

273
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: He had four targets of twenty or more air yards

274
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: alone yesterday. I know yesterday was his big game yardage

275
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: wise of the season with a hundred and fifty nine.

276
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: But he has five touchdowns already through five games. I

277
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: know he's not gonna finish the year with seventeen touchdowns

278
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: at least, it's that's something that you could bank on.

279
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: But with him getting these deep shots each and every week,

280
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a lot of big blow up weeks

281
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: like this. I mean, the guy is already top twenty

282
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy points three times this year. He's never been below

283
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: thirteen at the very least. He is a wide receiver

284
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: too that you could trust each and every week. And

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more and more performances like this. Market's like,

286
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I know, he wasn't a wide receiver one and anyone's

287
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: rankings coming into the year, but it's getting harder and

288
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: harder to leave him off that list, it really is.

289
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: And and watching that game yesterday, he is right now.

290
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: He is Cincinnati's wide receiver one without a doubt. And

291
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: you can just see that connection between him and Burrow.

292
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean even on the long touchdown pass, it was

293
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of a scrambled drill, right, I mean nothing

294
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: was open early, Burrow rolled out, Chase kind of went

295
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: with him and they connected deep downfield. And that it's

296
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: happening regularly, and that's where Joe Burrow is going when

297
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: he gets in trouble. It's a guy that he trusts

298
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: um And You're right, and what is a fun offense

299
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: to watch too, So I'm keeping an eye on them

300
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: all season long. I would say that for me, justin

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: Herbert is now officially an elite quarterback. Uh. You know,

302
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: he went last year and we were sort of surprised

303
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: by what he was able to do. Like, okay, well,

304
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: it was exciting. There's a new offensive coordinator. Let's see

305
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: if he can do it again. And the first two

306
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: weeks fantasy wise, weren't very special. I think he put

307
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: he put up around thirteen points in each of the

308
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: first two games. Since then has been absolutely lights out.

309
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that he just has gotten

310
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: comfortable in the system, Uh, if it just took a

311
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks to sort of really trust the offense,

312
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: or if it just you know, happened to have a

313
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of slower, slower games to start the year, but

314
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: has been on fire over the last three weeks and

315
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: did it on Sunday against what is a good Brown's defense,

316
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, helping the Chargers get a big win, put

317
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: up forty seven points. You see that, the forty two,

318
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: almost forty three fantasy points against that Cleveland defense. And

319
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: at this point, I think he really is among the

320
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: top tier quarterbacks in fantasy. So we're talking about Mahomes

321
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray and I guess you know, this year

322
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Tom Brady, Uh, Justin Herbert is there

323
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: and and you know Florida, I know people were worried that,

324
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he could do it again, maybe there's

325
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: a sophomore slump. Um. I feel like after the last

326
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: three weeks that that conversation is kind of over. Oh yeah,

327
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: it is definitely over. I mean, through five weeks the

328
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: only quarterbacks that have more Fantasy Points than him is

329
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who I will hold a huge hell on,

330
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. That's it. Like you would

331
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: have anticipated Kyler Murray having more than him, but after

332
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: yesterday he fell behind. I think Herbert is up there

333
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: with all of these quarterbacks that we just said as

334
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the elite options in the game. And not only is

335
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: it Herbert, like he has made Austin Ekeler an elite

336
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: option and and Keenan Allen and Mike Williams remain elite

337
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: options now at the wide receiver position. And then we

338
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: were talking about the Chargers being one of, if not

339
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the best teams in the a f C. Right now.

340
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: I know we all wait for the Chargers to go

341
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: full Chargers, but I think this is a new era.

342
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is not Philip Rivers. I think that you

343
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: found a great one in l a. And if you

344
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: have him on your fantasy team, or if you are

345
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: a Chargers fan right now, you should be even great.

346
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Who's the thing? I tweeted yesterday after the game and

347
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers are four and one, But maybe the most

348
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: important or impressive thing to me is the fact that

349
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: they're not They're not hashtag chargering this year. Right. There

350
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: are so many of these games that we've seen in

351
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: the past where something goes wrong, a defensive breakdown, a

352
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: terrible you know, turnover, an interception, a missed field goal,

353
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: and the Chargers end up taking a loss. That's not

354
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: happening this year. And I know there's still a long

355
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: way to go, but it just feels different with this team.

356
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: And so not only is it is it not happening

357
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: Marcus like Brandon Staley is going for it like a

358
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: very aggressively on like fourth down and stuff. It just

359
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: feels different this year. Yeah, um, did you see Mike

360
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: Williams being the wide receiver one at this point in

361
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: the season. No, I and I was someone who was

362
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: very high on Mike Williams. I have him on a

363
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: bunch of teams, but no, and I traded him for

364
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs uh in a league in a in a

365
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: league last week. Can a lot of people on Twitter

366
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, great trade. Didn't feel like a great

367
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: trade for me this past I should be honest. He's

368
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: not the wide receiver one yet. I think he's still

369
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: like two points two and a half points behind Cooper Cup.

370
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: But either way, the fact that I don't think anybody

371
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: predicted that Mike Williams would be this guy at this

372
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: point in the season time for bright. When we come back,

373
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: we will talk about some of the top performers from

374
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: Week five, including the afore mentioned Mike Williams. He was

375
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: definitely on that list with what he did against the

376
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Got that and plenty more as we roll

377
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: on in the NFL Fantasy Football Show, Let's take a

378
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: look at some of the top performers four Week five.

379
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: We talked about Justin Herbert in the opening segment. Tom

380
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Brady is at number two. Davante Adams doing Davante Adams things,

381
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and is that number three? Josh Allen, Mike Williams tied

382
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: at four or thirty six, and a half points. Austin

383
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Ekeler is at six, Miles Gaskin at seven, Antonio Brown

384
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: thirty one points. Is the Buccaneers just smack the Dolphins?

385
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: He's at eight. Derrick Henry being Derrick Henry ends up

386
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: at nine to Darius Tony. Maybe the big surprise of

387
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: week five. He is at number ten with just a

388
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: shade under thirty Fantasy points in Week five. So let's

389
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: talk about some of these big performances from this past week.

390
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: Myles Gascon was on that list, and I know a

391
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: lot of people said they had dropped Miles Gasket and

392
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: I can't say that I blame anybody. I mean, he

393
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: looked like he was sharing time. He hadn't really produced

394
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: much to start the season. Then he goes off for

395
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: a huge game. So are we buying back in or

396
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: are we're gonna fall for the banana and the tail pipe?

397
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: I am not buying back into this one performance. He

398
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: still wasn't used a whole bunch on the ground. Yeah,

399
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: ten targets, ten catches is great until you realize that

400
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: it was with Jacoby Brissette and to a Tongue of

401
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: Valoa is on track to return next week. Um So

402
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: if he's back, I think the offense does look a

403
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: lot different than it does with Jacoby Brissette. It was.

404
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: I think this was just more of a game where

405
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: they were really thin at receiver. They were without DeVante Parker,

406
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: they were at without Will Fuller against the Bucks defense

407
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: that was getting a lot of pressure and stopping the runs.

408
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: So what do you do. You just do those short

409
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: little dump offs to your running back. And I don't

410
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: anticipate this being and every week thing. I think if

411
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: Myles Gaskin was dropped in your league, he's worthy of

412
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: picking up after what he did this week. But he

413
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: is not someone that I'm like super excited to get

414
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: into my starting lineup moving forward. I think he's just

415
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: more of a weekly, flex range option kind of guy.

416
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: I keep going back to. Part of why we liked

417
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin was because last year, when he was healthy

418
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: and starting, it was pretty much just him. This year,

419
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins aren't doing that. They're rotating more guys in.

420
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: Yesterday was Savan Akhmed playing about the snaps. We've seen

421
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown get some opportunities, although those seem to be

422
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: dwindling for him in this offense. Um, you're right, the

423
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: tin targets is just not a thing you can count

424
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: on every week, especially once two it gets back. So

425
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's you know, as a friend of

426
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: mine who's a Dolphins fan said, you know, I've seen

427
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: this movie before and it's not it's probably not right

428
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: to get too excited about Miles Gaskin because this just

429
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: doesn't feel sustainable. Um. On the other side, as I mentioned,

430
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins just got just drubbed by the Buccaneers on Sunday.

431
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady with another huge performance and getting pretty much

432
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: all of his wide receivers involved. Antonio Brown was on

433
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: that list of the top ten scorers this week, but

434
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Mike Evans had a huge week. Uh, even though Chris

435
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: Godwin didn't score a touchdown seven catches for seven yards.

436
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: At this point five games into the season, how do

437
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: you rank the Bucks wide receivers. It's pretty tough to

438
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: rank them. I will put Mike Evans number one, and

439
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: i will admit I've been low on Mike Evans the

440
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: last couple of years because I've been like, eventually this

441
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: touchdown pace needs to fall off, but he just keeps

442
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: it going. So I'm just gonna admit he is their

443
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver right now. He's got the highest

444
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: target share, the most targets per game. Uh, they used

445
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: him a lot in the red zone. He also they

446
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: take deep shots with him, which is something that I

447
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: didn't expect when Tom Brady first came here, but he

448
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: has proven me very wrong. I'm still gonna put Chris

449
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: Godwin too, although I will say Godwin and A B

450
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: is closer than ever, like A B has a I'm sorry.

451
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: Godwin has a higher targets share, and he also has

452
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: the most red zone targets of them, but A B

453
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: is being used down the field. A B actually has

454
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: an extra touchdown here, and the targets are pretty close.

455
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: So I think this is a situation where you start

456
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: all three of them each week, understanding that one might

457
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: be the odd man out, and the odd man out

458
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: might is still going to be solid game. I would

459
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: say all three of them are averaging over fifteen Fantasy

460
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: points per game. I think Evans is one Godwin to

461
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: A B three, But that being said, I think all

462
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: three or weekly starters. I think what you said near

463
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: the end is maybe the most pertinent part of it, right,

464
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: that they're all startable, even if one of them doesn't

465
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: necessarily have the huge game, if you know, one or

466
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: two of those guys don't, um, the way the Bucks

467
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: offense is rolling right now, there is enough volume for

468
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: all three of those guys to be successful. And that

469
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: was always my fear coming in that there just wasn't

470
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: gonna be enough to go around. Now, maybe some of

471
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: it has to do with a group of running backs

472
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: that isn't all that exciting. I mean, Ronald Jones is

473
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: pretty much persona non grata. Uh Jio Bernard discore touchdown,

474
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: which I know made Cynthia Freeland very happy on Sunday, um,

475
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: you know, and then Mike Evans just but Mike Evans

476
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: continues to do his thing. I know, I keep trying

477
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: to shoehorn Chris Godwin in as the number one guy

478
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: in this offense, and it seems to be that that's

479
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: not really the case. So I think, upon further review,

480
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: my rankings for them look just like yours with Evans

481
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: had one. God wanted to Antnio Brown at three. But

482
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, on any given number, you can toss three

483
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: names and a hat, pull one out and that's going

484
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: to be the guy. So I guess it's it's it's

485
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: a double edged sword. If you've got a Bucks wide receiver,

486
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: they're worth starting every week. But just no that when

487
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: the roulette wheel spends, it might not land on your

488
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: guy for any given week. That doesn't mean you should

489
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: panic or freak out or anything like that. A couple

490
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: of years ago, Marcus, we were saying Brady could play

491
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: until he's like forty five. At this point, do we

492
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: just say Brady could play until Brady doesn't want to

493
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: play anymore? I mean, I mean, I think I think

494
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: that's it, Like you know, father time. You know, I

495
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: always said father time comes to everybody except Frank Gore.

496
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: But apparently Tom Brady has figured out how to stiff

497
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: arm him as well. Um yeah, And and he's going

498
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: to be the one to dictate when he leaves. So

499
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: often the league retires you, but I don't think that's

500
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna happen with Tom Brady. So that was the good

501
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: that gets us to the bad. And I'm salty the

502
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: guys that we are disappointed in from this past week.

503
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna start with Brandon Cooks because after the

504
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: first three weeks or so, we just felt like Brandon

505
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Cooks was was invincible. And yeah, I knew that those

506
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: huge performances that we were getting from him weekend and

507
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: week out weren't necessarily going to uh continue on. But

508
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: uh to go from being so solid at the start

509
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: of the year, right the first three weeks you got eighteen,

510
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty Uh You're getting a ton of targets,

511
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: you were getting big yardage totals, you even got a

512
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: touchdown in there. Uh. Yeah, I didn't expect it to

513
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: fall off to where it is. You got you nine

514
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: point seven and week four and then just five point

515
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: three on Sunday, And that was in the game where

516
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: Davis Mills looked good against the New England Patriots. I

517
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of Brandon Cooks everywhere and just to

518
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: see that that five point three just sitting there like

519
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: a log, Uh, it was not all that great. So

520
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm frustrated. I hope it gets better because the

521
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: Texans offense still has issues regardless of what happened yesterday.

522
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: But yesterday it was not a good day for Brandon Cooks. No.

523
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: I think it gets better though for him because the

524
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: last two weeks have been really tough matchups for him,

525
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: like the Bills, with Trey White and that secondary and

526
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: then the Patriots, which we know Bill Belichick is gonna

527
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: game plan to take Brandon Cooks away. I think those

528
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: were two of the tougher matchups for Cooks. He's gonna

529
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: be right up and down this year, I think, um,

530
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: but I do expect him to bounce back after it

531
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: was just weird Marcuts. We expected the Texans offense as

532
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: a hole to struggle and Cooks to be all right,

533
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: and it was the exact opposite yesterday against the Patriots. Um.

534
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Something else we expected yesterday that had me salty was

535
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: we thought the Jaguars passing game with DJ Chark out

536
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: would now be funneled through Marvin Jones Jr. And the

537
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: viscous chalt Against the Titans, who had allowed these second

538
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to wide receivers coming into the year,

539
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: they to the week they struggled against receivers in the

540
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: slot and out wide, and it didn't matter. The two

541
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: of them yesterday combined for just eight targets. They two

542
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: catches between the two of them. Marvin Jones had a

543
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: twenty five yard catch and then Chanlt had this catch

544
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: you're watching here where he breaks all of the tackles,

545
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: he makes it into almost of the goal on and

546
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: then like celebrates looking like a beast after And my

547
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: mind was like, why would you see that and be like,

548
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: let's not get this guy the ball more. I mean,

549
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: eight hard gets between the two of them, When Dan

550
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Arnold and uh Ag Knew each have eight targets themselves,

551
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: it makes no sense. I'm not ready to give up

552
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: on Marvin Jones Jr. Just yet, but I definitely think

553
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: you could get him onto your bench right now because

554
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: things have just gone from bad to worse for the

555
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars passing game. At least these top targets were reliable

556
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: early on the last couple of weeks, they've been anything.

557
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: But I you know, that one hurts my soul because

558
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: I made a big show of saying I'm back in

559
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: on the biscuittion this this past week and then to

560
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: see him just get three targets only the one catch.

561
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: Um Yeah, that that is frustrating. I can't I can't

562
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on in Jacksonville. I don't like they,

563
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: uh even James Robinson, right, I mean, he was starting

564
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: to get hot again. He gets just six carries in

565
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: the second half. Um, I don't I don't understand what's

566
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: happening there one more, uh, Sam Donald, And I don't

567
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: know that it's fully on Sam, but he certainly didn't

568
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: help the situation on Sunday. Going back and watch in

569
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: that game, the Eagles, who have had kind of an

570
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: inconsistent pass rush, they got a ton of pressure on

571
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Sam Donald on Sunday and forced him into some really

572
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: bad throws. He had three interceptions in the game. In fact,

573
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks have not been great throwing

574
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: the football for Donald. He was so hot to start

575
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: the year. Now the last two weeks or so, he's

576
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: kind of started to turn the football over again. Uh.

577
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: And some of it has to do with poor decision making.

578
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: A lot of it, though, has to do with he

579
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: has continually had pressure in his face, the offensive line

580
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: starting to struggle in past protection, and now you're starting

581
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: to see the old Sam Donald come out again. So

582
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm definitely frustrated. Plus he didn't you know, he didn't

583
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: score the rushing touchdown, which isn't a huge surprise to

584
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: me because it just felt kind of unsustainable. Um. But

585
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: if they're not protecting him and he's not being able

586
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: to get the football out to DJ Moore, uh to

587
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson. Then it's a little bit worrisome. Maybe that

588
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: changes when Christian McCaffrey is back. I'm not sure, but

589
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, after after we were singing Sam Donald's praises

590
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: last week, that came back to bite us pretty bad

591
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I don't know. Yeah, I lost a couple

592
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: of leagues because I started him, and uh, if I

593
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: went with the other quarterback I had in my roster,

594
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: he might have been a different story. So I'm with

595
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: you there, Marcus. I was pretty solty watching Sam Donald

596
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: in the Panthers yesterday. Yeah, really really frustrating. Well, it

597
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: is week five, Week five, almost over minus the Monday

598
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: night game, and that felt like a good time to

599
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: kind of hand out some way too early fantasy awards

600
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: through the first uh five, almost five full weeks of

601
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: the season. So let's starts. Let's just start at the

602
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: top with the fantasy m v P. The guy that

603
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: you are grateful, most grateful for having on your roster

604
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: and florial for you, who is that at this point

605
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: in the year, It is Mike Williams For me, I mean,

606
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Mike Williams has topped twenty two Fantasy points in four

607
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: of his five games. He's top thirty three twice. He

608
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: had that Monsters game yesterday. He has been so good

609
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: markets that he is just two points behind being the

610
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver one. He's ahead of Tyreek Kill Davante Adams,

611
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: and he is a game this year with two Fantasy points.

612
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: I know Week four was rough, but he did just

613
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: like you see this play right here on your screen.

614
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: He had one just like that where he burned the

615
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: defender was wide open justin Herbert just missed him for

616
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: what could have been at eighty plus yard touchdown. If

617
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: he comes down with that one too. I think he's

618
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: unquestionably the m v P. But being the wide receiver

619
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: two on the year, as a guy that you were

620
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: able to draft in the eighth, ninth, tenth round in

621
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: some drafts, I think if you have Mike Williams on

622
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: your roster right now, you're probably sitting at at the

623
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: very least at three and two, four and one, maybe

624
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: even a little bit better than that, and feeling really

625
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: good about your team moving forward. Yeah. I mean, just

626
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: the return for the draft capital you spent certainly puts

627
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: him in that conversation. I liked him to. I definitely

628
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: did not anticipate that he would be doing this, uh

629
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: through the first five games for the Chargers. I'm gonna

630
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: go with my m v P. I'm gonna go with

631
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: the one guy that has been better than him at

632
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: the position, even if only by a couple of points,

633
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: and that's Cooper Cup. Um. Obviously you drafted Cup a

634
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: lot higher than you drafted Mike Williams. But yeah, we

635
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: were doing you know what, what was it going to

636
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: be with Matt Stafford? How would they distribute the targets

637
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: between Cup and Robert Woods. What we didn't know is

638
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: that Cooper Cup was gonna show up with like bagels

639
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: and coffee every day and become Matt Stafford's best friend.

640
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: To the point that even you know, the quote unquote

641
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: bad games are still pretty good. I mean, as lowest

642
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: total has been eleven points. On Thursday night, when it

643
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: was the Robert Woods Squeaky Wheel game, Cup still had

644
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: seven catches for ninety two yards. It didn't feel like it,

645
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: but you look at the box screen you're like, oh,

646
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: he actually had a pretty decent game. He just happened

647
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: to be overshadowed by his teammate. Who had an even

648
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: bigger game, And so at this point, Cooper Cup is

649
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: still the number one favored option for Matthew Stafford. I

650
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: think this continues all year, um, you know, and like

651
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: we don't really talk about wide receivers as being m

652
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: v P types even at this point in the season,

653
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: So I think that speaks volumes uh to what Williams

654
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: and Cup have done so far. So, um, let's keep

655
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: the positive feelings rolling. Who has been the biggest pleasant

656
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: surprise to this point in the year. For me, it's

657
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: Cordarol Patterson. Like he went from being an afterthought that

658
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: went undrafted in fantasy to being the RB three on

659
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: the year, only behind Derrick Henry and Alstin Ekeler. Alsin

660
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: Eckler was my runner up for a fantasy m v

661
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: P right now. But Patterson, it, I mean they're using

662
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: him near the goal line, They're getting him carries there there,

663
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: heavily involving him in the passing game. Right now. He

664
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: has become a waiver wire pickup that you could just

665
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: start each and every week, whether he's RB or wide

666
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: receiver eligible, and whatever site you play on, you get

667
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: him in your starting lineup. He has been that good

668
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: right now, and it showed yesterday like they had a

669
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: big fourth down play early in the game against the

670
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Jets and they went to Patterson. He is right now

671
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: one of their most trusted playmakers. I don't see him

672
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: slowing down anytime soon. I love that pick too, and

673
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson, just like there are a couple of these right.

674
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: Drafted him late, just sort of as a like a hey,

675
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: you mean he's theory the RB too, to Mike Davis,

676
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: like hey, maybe just give him a shot. Did not

677
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: expect that he would be a guy that has carried

678
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: fantasy teams through the last few weeks. And I know

679
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: it took a lot of people a couple of weeks

680
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: to to kind of clue in, but I think everybody's

681
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: sort of on board, um, and it's been It's been

682
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: amazing to watch as Arthur Smith and that offensive staff

683
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: have figured out how to unlock Cordarol Patterson. So if

684
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: with him off the board, I'm gonna go with Jalen

685
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: Hurts Um. I like Jalen Hurts. I thought he could

686
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: be a fringe QB one, but I thought he was

687
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: a guy we were talking about as like, you know,

688
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: the QB eleven or twelve, uh not the QB five

689
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: where he currently is. And it continues. It doesn't matter

690
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: what the Eagles do. Jalen Hurts is going to get

691
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: you twenty fantasy points. And that gave me, as Caroline

692
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: at the offense was stagnant that the whole offense it

693
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: looked like they shrunk the field. Everything was horizontal. They

694
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: weren't really taking chances down the field. When they did,

695
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: they weren't. There weren't great deep balls. But in the end,

696
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: Hurts get you twenty two almost twenty three fan to

697
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: see points. I know Cynthia Freeland does a segment where

698
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, she sort of sort of builds a house.

699
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: She talks about the players floor and the player's ceiling.

700
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts losing a tiny house because the floor and

701
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: the ceiling really aren't that far apart. His floor has

702
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 1: been twenty points, his ceiling so far has been about

703
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty nine points. It is just as consistent

704
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: as as you can be. Um. I mean, I know

705
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: you were part of the Hurts fan club, but but

706
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: did you did you predict the top five at this

707
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: point in the year. I thought top five was his upside.

708
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, like he's top five markets and

709
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he's reached his ceiling yet. Like he's

710
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: had multiple games where he has not played great at

711
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: all and he's admitted it. Like yesterday, this guy I

712
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: was getting ready to tweet, I was gonna have a

713
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: tweet plan, like we say, Jalen Hurt scores twenty fantasy

714
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: points every week through three quarters of today zero point

715
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: eight four points, because that is what he had with

716
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: like two minutes left in the third quarter, and he's

717
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: still finished with over twenty fantasy points because of what

718
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: he could do with his legs. I think he is

719
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: a QB one that you start each and every week,

720
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: and his upside might even be higher than QB five

721
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: because this is how he looks. He's putting up QB

722
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: five numbers right now, and I don't think he's playing

723
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: anywhere close to his best football. The other part of

724
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 1: it is he's had a number of touchdowns called back

725
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: because of penalties, Like you watched the Eagles, and it

726
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: just seems like every week there's a penalty that takes

727
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown off the board. So that would even change

728
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: his numbers that he'd be maybe even higher uh than

729
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: he currently is. All Right, so that's enough being positive.

730
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: Time to be a couple of Debbie downers here. So

731
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: we talked about the positive, the good surprises. Who's somebody

732
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: who has been a not so good surprise so far?

733
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. And while we're talking about A J. Brown,

734
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about the entire Titans passing game. Look, Derrick

735
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: Henry is the RB one. He's doing what Derrick Henry

736
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to do. But we thought that this passing

737
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: game was gonna go to new levels this year. It's

738
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: done the exact opposite. Ryan Tannehill is the QB twenty

739
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: one on the year. I know that A J. Brown

740
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: missed some time, but through three games, A J. Brown

741
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: doesn't have a game with over fifty yards. He's just

742
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: one touchdown on the year. Julio Jones, he had one

743
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: big game in in like Week two or three, but

744
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: he's been banged up and missing time since then. I

745
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: am someone Marcus who was pretty high on this passing game.

746
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: I invested a lot in Ryan Tannehill, Julio Jones, A J. Brown, UH,

747
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: took late shots on Anthony Firks her. None of it

748
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: has worked out. This offense is the same as it's

749
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: always been. You want to get Derrick Henry. He's an

750
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: obvious must start, and the other guys not not so great.

751
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, none of them have lived up to expectations

752
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: so far. I'm getting people on Twitter saying like, I

753
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: want to drop A J. Brown. Calm down, We're not

754
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: doing that. He's still a guy that you you start

755
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: pretty much weekly. But yeah, he has been a big

756
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: disappointment the first five weeks. I'm sorry, producer, Justin. I

757
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: know you are a huge Titans fan, but this this

758
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: past the game has been anything but fun to watch.

759
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: Early on, I mean, the the catch rate for a J. Brown,

760
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: He's catch rate and that that field that feels unsustainable. Rights,

761
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: it's not good, but it also doesn't feel like it's

762
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: something that's going to continue all year long. Um, you know,

763
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: another another poor game on Sunday when I think he

764
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: had three catches for thirty eight yards something like that.

765
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't good. Um, you're right, this has been a

766
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: major disappointment. Maybe once Julio Jones comes back and everybody's

767
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: healthy and they're ready to go, and maybe he gets better.

768
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: But this was not at all what I expected. Similarly,

769
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk Um. There was a tweet going around on

770
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: Sunday that says, Brandon and Yuke has seven catches, Trayvon

771
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Diggs has six. Like, that's not That's not what anybody anticipated.

772
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: I was a huge Brandon ayuk proponent this offseason. I

773
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: was drafting him, you know, in the fifth or sixth round.

774
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: I was definitely taking him ahead of Deebo Samuel. That

775
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: was a swing and a miss um. You know, the

776
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: year began with you just in the Kyle Shanahan doghouse,

777
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: not able to get on the field, not getting a

778
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: whole lot of looks. He's playing more snaps, he's still

779
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of targets. They're just not getting

780
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: the football to him. And and this has been a big,

781
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: big swing in a miss I would also sort of

782
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: add on a lesser, lesser note Tray Sermon, who I

783
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: know a lot of us got really really excited about

784
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but but he he just has not

785
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: been a part of what the forty Niners are doing. Um,

786
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to trust Kyle Shanahan. Man. I can't. I

787
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: can't trust him anymore. Yeah, yeah, I I Brandon, and

788
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: I I was saying, I think he gets more volume

789
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: with George Kittle out. Nope, Tray Sermon, I mean Elijah

790
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: Mitchell came back and Tray Sermon saw the field to place. Like,

791
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I think both of them are guys who could get

792
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: away from on your fantasy roster right now. Like the

793
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: only thing that you're holding onto them for is hope

794
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: that things change moving forward. And realistically, they're just taking

795
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: up a spot on your valuable roster spot on your

796
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: fantasy team. I mean, it takes it takes so much

797
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: for Tray Sermon just to get on the field right

798
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: now and he can go back to the waiver wire.

799
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of waiver wire, who so far has been the

800
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: best pickup off the waiver wire, I think it's been

801
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. Dalton Schultz has now led the Cowboys and

802
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: targets three straight games in a row. He has eight

803
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: targets in each of his last two games, and yesterday

804
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: was like a down game for him because he didn't

805
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: find the end zone. Six catches for seventy nine yards.

806
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: Oh and he had a drop that should have been

807
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: a catch. It was he was open in the end zone,

808
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: he just dropped it. I'm even sure even Dalton Schultz

809
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, I should have caught that one. So

810
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: Dalond Schultz, I don't even think he is like a

811
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: weekly must start at the tight end position, which is

812
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: the hardest position to find weekly starters. I think Dalon

813
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: Schultz should be valued as a top five tight end now,

814
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: like behind Kelsey and Waller. And I still think if

815
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: you want to put like Pits or Mark Andrews ahead

816
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: of him, cool I think that there's a debate, though.

817
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: I think outside the top two guys, you could start

818
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: to make the case that Dalton Schultz might be the

819
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: third best fantasy tight end right now. He is just

820
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: the most targeted player in one of the best offenses

821
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: in football. I I mean it's amazing too because this

822
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: is what we sort of thought for Blake Jarwin last

823
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: year and then unfortunately he got hurt early in the season.

824
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: I think it was Week one, actually he got hurt,

825
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: lost the whole year, and Schultz, you know, came intup

826
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: that played a nice role, and so we sort of debated, um,

827
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, who was who was going to be the

828
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: tide and what you know. The look there's some folks

829
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: out there, to their credit at Ray Garvin one of them,

830
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: but several other people who said early on that this

831
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: was gonna be Dalton Schultz's team. Uh, and they were

832
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and we've seen that the last few weeks,

833
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: especially um for me, Cordarrell Patterson certainly qualifies as potentially

834
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: a great waiver wire pick up, but I'm gonna lean

835
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: towards Sam Donald yesterday, notwithstanding obviously that game against the

836
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: Eagles was not pretty UM, But you know, we're always

837
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: looking to stream quarterbacks and for people who do that,

838
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: Sam Donald really has stepped in and played very well.

839
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: The five rushing touchdowns has gone a long way toward

840
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: helping him be very productive this year, but also kind

841
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 1: of getting comfortable in that Joe Brady offense. Having Dj

842
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Moore do what he does has been great. And so

843
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: if you're looking to stream quarterbacks, or if you took

844
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: a chance on him in a two quarterback or super

845
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: flex league and you drafted him late, I know a

846
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: lot of people sort of held their nose and made

847
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: the pick, but really it has worked out really, really well.

848
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I think it's gonna be better.

849
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: Do do you think Florio after the last couple of weeks,

850
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: is is this more the same Donald we expect, or

851
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: does it get back to what we saw closer to

852
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: what we saw at least the first three weeks. I

853
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be closer to what we saw early

854
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: on in this season. Like I think Sam Donald is

855
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: a useful fantasy quarterback. Do I think that he is

856
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: a set it and forget it type of quarterback? No?

857
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: I think you play him in like the good matchups

858
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: and stuff. Is he gonna give us seventeen rushing touchdowns? No,

859
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: but that is a part of his game. I just

860
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: it's more even than Sam Donald. I just trust the

861
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff in Carolina. I trust the weapons around Sam Donald.

862
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: This is the best environment he's ever got to play

863
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: football in, and he's playing well. So I think it's

864
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: hard to to I think if you're looking at yesterday

865
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: and saying that's the real Sam Donald, you had preconceived

866
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: notions that you kind of want to come true. I mean, look,

867
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is still one of the fantasy Ruschak test.

868
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: People see what they want to see out of the guy,

869
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: and until he goes out and proves one way or another,

870
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: I think that's that's always going to be the case.

871
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: All Right, it is break time. When we come back,

872
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: we'll look at the waiver wire ads potentially four week six.

873
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for that on the NFL Fantasy Football Show

874
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: Time to check out some of the top waiver wire

875
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: targets as we get ready for Week six. At quarterback,

876
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, uh Matt Ryan of these are guys that

877
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking more long term with because they're gonna be

878
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: on a buy next week. But in case you're just

879
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of planning ahead, think Winston and Ryan, Gino Smith,

880
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: who will be in action next week. He's up there.

881
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: You're running backs Khalil Herbert who stepped and played well

882
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: for the Bears on Sunday, Davante Booker, with sa Kwan

883
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: Barkley looking like he's gonna be out of action for

884
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: a few weeks, Alex Collins starting to get more run

885
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Sony Michelle, Joe Bernard's still doing things. Romandre

886
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: Stephens and things are kind of muddled right now in

887
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: that Patriots backfield, especially with Damien Harris leaving with an

888
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: injury on Sunday. Darryl Williams also in the mix as

889
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire left with an injury on Sunday night

890
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. Over to the wide receivers and

891
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: tight ends. There is Tony fresh off that huge game.

892
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's hope he doesn't get suspended for throwing a punch

893
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. But he's on the list. Ron Dale

894
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: Moore continuing to get touches. I'm on Ross st Brown

895
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: starting to pick it up in Detroit, Tim Patrick Hunter

896
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: Renfo wrote Renfro easy for me to say, uh. And

897
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman at your wide receivers near your tight ends,

898
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry starting to pick things up. Donald Parham getting

899
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: some looks there for the Chargers, and then Dan Arnold.

900
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: It's no longer Sam Donald to Dan Arnold in Jacksonville,

901
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: but he's getting targets there with the Jaguars. But I

902
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: want to talk about Jamis Winston because I know he's

903
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: on a bibe. But I I can't figure out the

904
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: Saints right, Like one week they get a big win

905
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: and the next week they look all full. Jamis Winston

906
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: at first looks terrible, then on Sunday he puts up

907
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns and some decent passing numbers. What

908
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: is your confidence level in Jamis right now? Uh? Not

909
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: the highest, but I think after what he did yesterday,

910
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: he's shown us that he can take advantage of good

911
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: matchups and that's what Washington has been. I mean, they've

912
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. We

913
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: didn't expect that coming into the year. But it's good

914
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: to see him take advantage of those type of matchups. Uh.

915
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: This is his second game this year Marcus with four

916
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: or more passing touchdowns. Um. And I also think it's

917
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: sad to say, but like Taysom Hill getting injured, I

918
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 1: think gives a little bit more confidence in Jamis Winston

919
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: because I was starting to get worried that Taysom Hill

920
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: could come in and start stealing more and work away.

921
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: Plus there's a chance that after the bye, Michael Thomas

922
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: is back, which only helps Jamis Winston. So he is

923
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: definitely a long term mat. I know he's on by

924
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: this week, but I think he's a quarterback that once

925
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: the bye start really hitting us when he he's going

926
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback that you could stream in favorable matchups. Yeah,

927
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: I you know, you're right. He is definitely kind of

928
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: an emergency quarterback. I think at this point you talked

929
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: about the Taysom Hill injury. Um. I had Tasom as

930
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: kind of a deep sleeper this week, just because it

931
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: it felt like Sean Payton was sort of trending that direction.

932
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: But I think now with him on the shelf, we

933
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: are going to see a whole lot of Jami's and

934
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it just was sort of adjusting to things right.

935
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see more Marquez Callaway and Deonta Harris, or

936
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: maybe it is just that the Washington defense is really

937
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: bad and that's a matchup that we can pick on

938
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: and and and make things happen. Um. Kalil Herbert also

939
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: on the list, and I will I will admit to

940
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: sort of being wrong because I sat here last week

941
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: and sort of, you know, thumbs down on Khalil Herbert.

942
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people were sort of pegging him as

943
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: a guy to keep an eye on. I didn't think

944
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: it would happen, but um, he had a pretty nice

945
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: day against the Las Vegas Raiders for the Bears, getting

946
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: a win on Sunday. So this means that, you know,

947
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: at least until David Montgomery gets back, is clear Herbert

948
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a thing in this offense. Yeah, I think so.

949
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 1: And what I wrote about him in the waiver article

950
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: that that is available now on NFL dot com. I said,

951
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: you look at his fantasy points and you see seven

952
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: point five, and you might not be that intrigued. But

953
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: he played more snaps than Damian Williams. They were both

954
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: around fifty, but Herbert just had a slight edge there.

955
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: He also had eight team carries. I don't care, you know,

956
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: if he's not utilized in the passing game, because I'm

957
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: normally a guy who wants running backs that can be

958
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. And Damian Williams had all

959
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: three of the running back targets. But eighteen carries is

960
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: still great, and now I think it is because the

961
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Bears were playing with a lead. That is not always

962
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be the case. But when you have a

963
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: running back splitting snaps and seeing that many touches, I

964
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: think you have to at least be somewhat interested to

965
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: be putting in a waiver wire claim. This week, he

966
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: only had one touch, two inside the ten yard line.

967
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: Damian Williams had three, but see utilized down there and stuff.

968
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he is like a smash pick Marcus,

969
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: but I definitely think he is someone worthy of taking

970
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: a shot on just because he's been he was so

971
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: used yesterday. What I think is interesting is that Khalil

972
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: Herbert got eight teen carries in a game where Justin

973
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Fields was the starter. And part of the reason we

974
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields is because of his running ability. That's

975
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 1: something that Matt Naggie has not tapped into yet this season.

976
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the rushing totals for Justin

977
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: Herber or for a Justin Fields rather. Uh. Week one

978
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: was three yards, we two is his high water market?

979
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: Thirty one, Week three, twelve, Week four nine, and then

980
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Sunday four he just not had He has not run

981
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: the football. They're not really setting up designed runs for him. UM.

982
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: So as long as that continues, then Khalil Herbert really

983
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: does have a future in this offense. UM. Look at

984
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: be curiously what it what it looks like going forward.

985
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: But I will admit that I was I was sort

986
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: of wrong on that one. I didn't think he'd have

987
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: a role, but but he certainly does. So. Uh. With

988
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: that out of the way, if you were you know,

989
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: if you're the waiver wiver waiver wire priority in your league,

990
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: or if you're gonna you know, decide you're gonna empty

991
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: the clip with your fab budget all. I don't think

992
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: you should do that necessarily this week. Um, where are

993
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: you going for your waiver wire target? I think the

994
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: top at least at the receiver position for sure. The

995
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: top ad has to be Caldarius Tony. I mean thirteens targets.

996
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday ten catches a hundred and eighty nine yards, and

997
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, Marcus, he was injected early because

998
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: he threw a punch. He also headbutted a trainer he had.

999
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: He had an interesting day yesterday. But in the last

1000
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 1: two weeks, the guy has twenty two targets and he's

1001
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: doing a good job of getting open. The Giants are

1002
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: doing a good job of drawing up players that can

1003
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: help get him the ball in space. But what I

1004
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: like is coming into the year, I thought he was raw.

1005
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was a raw route runner who would

1006
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: be electric with the ball after that catch. And you're

1007
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: seeing that here that he is that type of running

1008
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: of receiver. But he's also a better downfield weapon than

1009
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: I gave him credit for. Like look at this catch

1010
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: right here, Like this guy is a legit wide receiver.

1011
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: He was a first round pick. I think the Giants,

1012
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: even as they start to get healthy, I don't think

1013
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna phase him out because they've invested so much

1014
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 1: into him and he's played so well that I think

1015
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: Tony is definitely someone that you should be looking to

1016
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: get right now in waiver wire. And I also want

1017
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: to mention quickly Darryl Williams. I think Daryl Williams is

1018
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: Tony's rival to be the top waiver wire target now.

1019
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: With Edwards Hilaire suffering that injury late in that game yesterday,

1020
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the lead back now in one of

1021
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: the better offenses in football. That is a guy that

1022
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: I would be willing to kind of really empty the

1023
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: clip fab wise to get on my roster. I will

1024
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: say that I kind of double down on the Tony

1025
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: thing just because of the way they're using him. And

1026
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: that was the thing Joe Judge said a couple of

1027
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago that they wanted to start getting him more involved, uh,

1028
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: and I think we see that they just want to

1029
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands, get him out in space,

1030
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: and sort of let him be athletic. And so even uh,

1031
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, when some of these guys get healthy and

1032
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: come back. Um, I think they're still gonna be opportunity

1033
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: for Kadarius Tony in in the passing game. And you're

1034
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: also right about Darrell Williams. I will say that in

1035
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,919
Speaker 1: the the very limited time that he was in there

1036
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, he just kind of looked better than

1037
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards a layer, And so I'm curious how this

1038
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: is gonna work even going forward from that. But as

1039
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: Florio mentioned, he does right the Waiver Wire column each

1040

1057
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Uh yeah, Monday Night Football to wrap up

1058
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: Week five and is the Colts and the Ravens. Uh,

1059
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: let's do some over unders here. So let's set up

1060
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. Uh. When they played last year, the

1061
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: Colts and the Ravens, Lamar scored eighteen point six fantasy

1062
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: points in that game. Feels like a pretty reasonable number.

1063
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: It's about where he's been most of the years. So

1064
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: I was putting eighteen point six over under for Lamar

1065
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: Jackson tonight. I'm gonna go over. He He's had a

1066
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: down year I think for Lamar standards like he he

1067
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: has that one big game against the Chiefs, but besides that,

1068
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't top twenty fantasy points in any game. But

1069
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: he's never scored below eighteen either, So I just need

1070
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: him to get points six more than his already career

1071
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: season low. And he is a guy who has a

1072
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: knack for the big stage, and he's played really well

1073
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: in his career on Monday Night football. So I think

1074
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson hits over that number tonight. I think he

1075
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: gets over it as well. I think a lot of

1076
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: it may come on the ground he's you know, he's

1077
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: been running the football like Lamar will do. Um, you know,

1078
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: I think I think there's even more importance on it because, uh,

1079
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the guys in the backfield, right,

1080
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams appears to no longer be a thing, so

1081
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: they're rolling with Latavius Murray, Levian Bell, Devonte Freeman. Um,

1082
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: I think that puts a lot of pressure on Lamar

1083
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: to make plays with his legs. So I think that's

1084
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: where the bulk of the production comes from. But I

1085
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: do think he can get you over eighteen point six

1086
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: in this one. Um Marquis Brown, who I think is

1087
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: back to being Hollywood again. Um, although you know it's

1088
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: funny we joke about people naming southern California cities whenever

1089
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: he's not playing well. And um, you and I were

1090
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: sort of talking during the break that for people who

1091
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: aren't from here, haven't been to l A like Holly

1092
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: One's not nice. You know, uh, we've thrown out might

1093
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: be nicer. Yeah, it's like this, it has like this,

1094
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, this great glamorous connotation. But really a friend

1095
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: of mine once said, which I think is apropos, like

1096
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: Hollywood is sort of like a dive bar. Right when

1097
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: you're there at night, there's lights and there's music and

1098
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: there's people, and you're like, hey, this play seems like

1099
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of fun and cool, and then you see it

1100
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: with the lights on, You're like, oh, this is where

1101
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: I was last night. Like it's not it's not great,

1102
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: But I digress back to the issue at hand. Fifteen

1103
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: points for Marquees Brown tonight against the Colts, over or under.

1104
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he will go over and on the Hollywood

1105
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: thing real quick. For those who haven't been here, if

1106
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: you've been at Times Square, I kind of compare it

1107
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: to that, a place that you don't really want to

1108
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: go more than once. And unfortunately, Marcus, I've had to

1109
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: walk the stars many a time since I have moved

1110
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: out here and had people come visit. But on Hollywood

1111
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: Brown he is. He has had nineteen or more fantasy

1112
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: points in three out of four games he's got a touchdown,

1113
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: and all three of those so maybe he does need

1114
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: to find the end zone to get over that point

1115
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: threshold tonight, but I think he'll get a couple of

1116
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: deep shots. He is looking like the new number one

1117
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: target in this offense. He's had all these success that

1118
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: I was hoping Mark Andrews would have this year. Yeah,

1119
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he definitely looks better. I'm gonna go under,

1120
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: not by a lot, but I think, you know, I

1121
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: think is a good game. I think the touchdown or

1122
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: the lack of a touchdown keeps him under fifteen points,

1123
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: but I am encouraged by the way they're using him.

1124
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: Uh for for Brown, it's just a matter of whether

1125
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: he catches the football or not, so much of his

1126
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: success or failure has sort of been predicated on his

1127
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: own hands. But I do see a pretty decent game coming,

1128
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: just no touchdown. So I'm gonna go under slightly on

1129
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: on the fifteen points last one. And I you know,

1130
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: I I tweaked this a little bit because I wanted

1131
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: to see where I could go to see if I

1132
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: can get you to go under on Jonathan Taylor, um

1133
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: so seventeen points. I think the last time they played,

1134
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: he actually only scored like six point eight. So he

1135
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: was sort of kept in check by Baltimore, but that

1136
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: that seemed like an easy over. So let's go seventeen

1137
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: over under for Jonathan Taylor. I'm gonna go over and

1138
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a surprise to you or

1139
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: anyone listening. I still expect really good things out of

1140
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. This year has been a little up and down.

1141
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: Over seventeen fantasy points in two games, less than fantasy

1142
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: points in the other two. It really comes down to

1143
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: the usage. Like in his two good games he had

1144
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: nineteen or more touches and his two bad games it

1145
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: was eleven and sixteen. So I think this is a

1146
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: game where the Colts are gonna look to establish the

1147
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: run early on, kind of control the clock, try to

1148
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: keep Lamar Jackson in that offense on the sideline. So

1149
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: I expect to see a lot of Jonathan Taylor early on.

1150
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: He found the end zone for the first time last week.

1151
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: He still leads at least heading into Week five, he

1152
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: led the NFL in touches inside the ten yard line,

1153
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: hadn't turned any of them into a touchdown yet. I

1154
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: think that changes, though. I think he finds the end

1155
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: zone tonight, so I'll go over on that. So I

1156
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying under, but I don't feel comfortable with that.

1157
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he very well could go go over. Um.

1158
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: I think part of it is because against the Ravens,

1159
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't expect Baltimore to put up a ton of points.

1160
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: This isn't gonna be a game where you're you're gonna

1161
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: be forced to the air if you're Indianapolis to win.

1162
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: So that means maybe less uh reliance on Niheim Hines.

1163
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 1: Maybe this does mean more touches for Jonathan Taylor and again,

1164
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: sort of like with Marcus Brown, it's an issue of

1165
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: whether or not he gets the touchdown. If he gets

1166
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: the touchdown, then I think he does go over. Um.

1167
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I think this will be a relatively

1168
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: low scoring game. Um, but it does I think involve

1169
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: both teams trying to run the football. Uh. So, I,

1170
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm going under. I don't feel a

1171
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: hundred percent confident on that. But that is where I stand.

1172
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: So we as we enter this is this thing. Um. So,

1173
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 1: I mean Week five has been interesting. I mean, look,

1174
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: we started this with the Bills, might as well end

1175
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: it with the Bills. Do you believe I mean being

1176
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: objective here are they the best team in the a

1177
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: f C. I think I think it's them. Were the

1178
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: Chargers like I think the Browns uh and the Chiefs

1179
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: and the Ravens that like, they're not gonna go away

1180
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be the a f C. I think

1181
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: is really tough. Um. Any of those teams could end

1182
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: up winning it, but as of right now, I think

1183
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chargers stand alone as the top

1184
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 1: two teams in the in the conference, well, it's gonna

1185
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch though a lot of football will

1186
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: be played, but the should be fun as we head

1187
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,919
Speaker 1: into the later months of the season. For us, that

1188
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging out

1189
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: with the NFL Fantasy Football Show, you know the drill.

1190
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell to friends, rate review and

1191
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,000

1193
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:34,040
