1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Aali.

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson. It is time for the fantasy

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: football focus here on the Drive. And Uh, with so

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: many injuries around the league and with a dog of

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: a game, I thought we'd talked about some of the

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: injury reports here again. Anyone that interest you tonight? Um,

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: I mean I think mcclarin is hard to get out

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Churis Samuel has been more of the guy,

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: He's gotten more targets. Um, so yeah, I think you

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: know Montgomery on the H I guess is a start.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Brian Robbins is going to start for the US. What

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: he looks like and all that, and how much of

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: what his workload is. Gibson is not close to usable anymore?

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Know mckissics same every week. Um, both the tight ends

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: to me aren't usable. Bears defense is a little sneaky. Yeah,

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: but you probably have a better option. And UM, well

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm throwing a dart here this week. I picked

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: up Justin Fields and we'll likely start him. I haven't

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: change my mind before game time. I know you're contemplating over.

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: But I do like the running ability. He had a

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: touchdown called back last week. Did you see it? No?

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: I heard someone talk about it. It was a beautiful play. Yeah, uh,

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: he gets that one. He had a monster week last right,

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: it was definitely his best game as a pro last week.

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: It's encouraging. But as we talked about Kenny, pick it

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: right short week, Um at least their home, you know,

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: but uh, one big step forward and a little step

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: back is what these guys do. I mean if if

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: he throws for a hundred and fifty yards and gets

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: you fifty to sixty yards and somehow gets a touchdown

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: out of it, we're too you know. Okay, now he's

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: a viable Now he's quarterback twelve yeah right, right, and

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: still waste land right now. That's the cheap code with

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: the with the running quarterbacks, Like I mean, that's probably

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: better than Rogers or Staffer, you know, in fifty rushing

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: yards for him. I mean, if I were there coaching

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: staff I would encourage him to run more. Yes, I'm

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: torn on that because I would too, because he's good

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: at it. He's really good at it, and he always

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: will be able, will always be a strength I know,

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: some coaching staffs. I don't know if they do or not.

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Think let's get to pass. Let's work on the passing stuff,

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: and don't use your your feet as a as a crutch.

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I look at the other way though, like just create,

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: be yourself. You know you don't because the defense start

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: picking up That guy doesn't want to run. That's who

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: he is, right, I mean, this is not this is

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Cordell Stewart. Oh we can't have a running quarterback. You

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: should have yeah, you know, I mean he's you know,

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: that kind of runner. Let him run, right, And the

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: other thing about him is he's kind of a see

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: it and throw it pass her, you know, like so

54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna take some time to develop too. I mean,

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: and he is a very accurate pastor. But that's something

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: that the running ability creates. That's what I mean. I mean,

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: if you can freeze the defender because they think you're

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna run or whatever, don't don't new to him in

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: any way. You know, that's tough enough time with the

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: ten players he's on the field with that aren't very

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: good looking at some of the injuries. Nelson Aguilar and

62
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers both limited for the Patriots. What's his face?

63
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: The draft pick Thornton can come back this week. I mean,

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't change my opinion on those guys. I mean,

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Myers is the only usable receiver to me. Yeah, side note,

66
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I watched Patriots Lions. Um, there a lot of it. Zappy,

67
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: He's not good. I mean he was never ever pressured.

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was just sit there, Patent in the pocket,

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and it was just a huge indictment of how bad

70
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: the Lions defense is. Myers had a nice day. He

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: was open and by like two yards all the time

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, Zappy never had to make a

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: tough throw. I mean Stevenson. To me, he's the only

74
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: guy on that that offense it's worth anything for fantasy. Yeah. Uh.

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: They did sign Kevin Harris running back. Uh. Um, that

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: tells me. That tells me Damien Harris isn't gonna be

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: back anytimetime soon. I mean a lot of these fans,

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: fantasy analysts have ver mondre is like a top five guy.

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: This week they're playing Cleveland and playing cland that game

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: could be over in about an hour and a half.

81
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: We previewed that game today and I said, Zappy and Burssette,

82
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: who Belichick drafted. Both turned into pumpkins in that game.

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about time for Cooper Rush and Zappy

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: and some of these guys to start turning into pumpkins.

85
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's that game is perfect for that.

86
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Za Jones, with an ankle injury, was limited in Thursday's practice.

87
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're using Lawrence or even like an

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: A t N, you want day Jones on the field.

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that he's superstarted bull for fantasy,

90
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: but there are bi weeks and you know, yeah, uh

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: one Dell Robinson limited for the Giants. Say Kwon Barkley

92
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury limited on Thursday as well. I

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: heard good things about Robinson though from one of their

94
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: beat writers, who knows. I mean, the opportunities there for

95
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, I've I heard all that stuff too.

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: In the preseason. Robinson just looks great, He's fantastic. Heard

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: this about ka Darius, Tony Sterling Shepherd. You know, it's

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: just received ref receiver looks great up there, and then

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: they're on crutches. Yeah. I don't trust any of them.

100
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: It's bad, it really is. Uh. They listed Damien Harris

101
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: officially is limited Thursday practice again. Same thing with Mac

102
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: Jones limited. Yeah, don't believe that stuff, folks. How about

103
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: this Sama j p rhyme with an abdomen was limited

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: in Thursday. That's actually huge news. He plays and plays

105
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot. I would hope, and I have very little

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: faith in Taylor there. I would hope he just says,

107
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Joe never leave the field. But here's what's going to happen. Chris,

108
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Chris Evans is going to get some playing time. And

109
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: it's so weird to me. And I know you can't

110
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: give everyone a nausey Harris last year workload, but money downs,

111
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: you've taken your best guy out of you. That's when

112
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: you're resting him, give him a whole series off or whatever.

113
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: But I don't understand that, and it really hurts mixing

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: for Fantasy. Kill him, kills him. Jamis Winston limited again

115
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Doesn't look like he's gonna be bad because

116
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I would guess it's Andy Dalton again. Yeah, I would

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: assume so, And that's a coin flip. We've talked about forever.

118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: So if he is limited or not going to be

119
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: at top shape, I don't think you're rushing back right

120
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: and you're throw in some Taysom Hill action. You know.

121
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Our daily kicker update. Jake Elliott was still limited on

122
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: Thursday for the Philadelphia Eagles. That means Cameron Dicker Dicker

123
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: is the guy. I couldn't remember if it was Dicker

124
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: or who's the other kicker? Dicker the kicker Dicker of

125
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the kicks Vicar, Yeah, Vicking. Yeah, we were chuckling yesterday,

126
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that. Obviously, Elliott's one of

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: the better fantasy options out there with the Eagles. Um

128
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: don't just pencil him and takes a lot of checker

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: stuff floating around. You need to pay attention to him.

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz limited Thursday's practice. I don't know if i'd

131
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: rush him right back in the lineup. If I was

132
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy owner of his, I might want to see

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: a game, Yeah, I would too. How about this? Dak

134
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Prescott officially limited in practice on today. I think they

135
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: interviewed him after yesterday's practice and he was very happy

136
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: with how things went. I mean, gripping a football was

137
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a problem for him. That would be a problem for

138
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's important. It's important, kind of a big deal,

139
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: especially for one like Dak who has had fumble issues

140
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: over the course of his career, right, but I guess

141
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: it's not an issue now. Uh. Nick Bosa did not

142
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. I don't think he plays, so that

143
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: defense maybe a bump it back a bit. I mean,

144
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay expect, right, you know. Yeah, Mike Boone

145
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: was limited Thursday for some unknown reason. They don't they

146
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: don't know why. But yeah, Uh, Russell Wilson was limited

147
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: in Wednesday's practice. I don't know why. They who their backup. Uh,

148
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: nobody that you want. That's a bunch of nobodies. Nobody

149
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: that you want. You're not starting ross anyways at this way.

150
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, you can't play Judie or something.

151
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: He kills the whole maybe Gordon, I mean you can

152
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: play anybody. Yeah, I mean there's something. There's some teams

153
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: out there that's the that's turning into the case, right,

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean like Miami. Of course you gotta put Tyreek

155
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: and Waddle in there. But you better you better thought,

156
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: you expect fans and you know, rece one team stuff.

157
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, Deante Johnson back at practice today for

158
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers. He's still their number one. Do you think

159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: he leads a team and targets going forward. Had thirteen

160
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: targets last week, George Pickens at eight. Now do I

161
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: think yeah? I mean he's the chain mover and Pickens

162
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: is the downfield threat, right. I don't think it's pick

163
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: It lows Picking so much that Jante is gonna suffer. No,

164
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: I said, he's still the guy that gets open. Yeah,

165
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: he's a very good player. Uh. Dawson Knox with the

166
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: foot and hamstring limited Thursday for the Bills. It's too

167
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: limited this week for um. I don't know what to

168
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: think of him. It's kind of like the Dalton Schultz

169
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: conversation where I don't love them when they're at their best.

170
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: You haven't seen their best and forever because of injuries.

171
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: This was a game last year though, against the Bills

172
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: or against the Chiefs if you remember. I think he

173
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns in that game because they just left him.

174
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: They left him uncovered. I mean it might be takeaway

175
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: digs and after last week, Dave Dave David Gabe Davis

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: gets a lot scarier. Maybe. I mean, I think in

177
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: that game you might see ninety points. You probably want

178
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: to play him. Yeah, I'd play all my Bills any

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: YEA ten ten snaps good enough for there yet. As

180
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Brian Robinson will start tonight for the Commanders.

181
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Um would you start him though? If he's if you

182
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: have them next week? Yeah, I want to see it first. Yeah, yeah,

183
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about Fields a little bit. I

184
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: think Fields and Robinson are my two favorite storylines for

185
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: the night. Yeah, and see what they look like. Jarvis

186
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Landry and Michael Thomas and Chris A. Lava did not practice,

187
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: so if Andy Dalton does play that like he's not,

188
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: he can't use him. Kamara is really all you can

189
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: use and you have to. He probably gets a lot

190
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: of targets as he did last week. But wow, I

191
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: mean those receivers. I mean, are you interested in Trae

192
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Kwon Smith or any of those kind of guys? No?

193
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Or tight end? No, I mean Michael Thomas should go

194
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: get traded to the Giants because I see where I'm

195
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: going with that. Yeah, exactly know exactly what you're saying

196
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: with that. James Conner expected to miss UH week six

197
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: and perhaps a shoon old time with the rib injury.

198
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm really warming up to, you know. I mean, they

199
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: play Seattle this week. I think they might lose that game,

200
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: by the way, Um, but the Seattle d is brutal,

201
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: and we talked about how bad Lions D is. Seattle's

202
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: is at that level. I don't care who the back is.

203
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't even like Benjamin that much, didn't love him

204
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: coming out of school. But if he's the lead back

205
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: playing the playing Seattle, I like you shot. Yeah, speaking

206
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: of this is a weird question. I'm not picking on

207
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: Nagy Hare. Can you start, you know, Benjamin or Nausey Harris,

208
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Like you'd never imagine even saying that. I think I start.

209
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, the opportunity is great. Can I get Dorsey

210
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: or J K. Dobbins, you know, like everything he knows

211
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: over some of those guys, he's going to be right.

212
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury has ruled Matt Prater out for Week six.

213
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: That means Matt Amndola. There we go, the journeyman kicker

214
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: who has played for six different teams already this year

215
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: in the first six weeks. He will be the kicker

216
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: in this game against Seattle. He's missed some kicks, yeah right.

217
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's trustworthy. Yeah, I don't know

218
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: if the over unders in that game. But anytime you

219
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: get a sketchy kicker in there. Yeah, makes things. Uh.

220
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I picked Seattle to win today and I didn't even

221
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: think about the kicker situation. That's a big deal. Raheem

222
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: Mostert has a knee injury, but he said he's fine

223
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: and he will suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

224
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: I would think they're gonna be as run heavy as

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: they possibly can. He's another one that like at some point.

226
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster is getting hurt this year, oh guaranteed. And

227
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: the way he runs, I think Edmonds is the backup,

228
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: but last week showed that they like Gascons better and

229
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: Edmonds must Edmonds is definitely in the doghouse. Can you

230
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: get out whenever Moster gets hurt because right now he's

231
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: running with the threes. Yeah, Justice Hill? This week, Justice

232
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: Hill returned to practice for Thursday for the Ravens. Let's

233
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: money that backfield up more. He was limited, but my goodness,

234
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: why give J K. Dobbins and football um? And then

235
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: Edwards is gonna be back soon and they love him.

236
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's five yards every time he touches the ball,

237
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: even if it's blocked for six or four, you know,

238
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you can get the same thing every time.

239
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman still out. I think your boy Dunum absolutely.

240
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean I can't get down the well of likely

241
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, as a second tight end, Andrew is going

242
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: to thrive no matter what. I mean. Du Renes is

243
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: getting eight targets. Yeah, I think it maybe two more touches,

244
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, so he may touch the ball tend I

245
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: mean you may have ten opportunities they just want. I mean,

246
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: he's he's leading the league in return. They play the

247
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Giants too, which isn't a bad matchup. So you just

248
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: want to get that guy the ball and situations and

249
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: try to get him in the open field. Yeah, I

250
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: think that has to be the plan. I mean they

251
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: don't throw the receivers much, but if there's only one

252
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: receiver worth throwing too, that's still a good good share. Uh.

253
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: Christian Watson, with a hamstring, remains sideline for Thursday's practice

254
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: for the for the Packers factors, He's not usable yet

255
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: though Um with him out, Cobbs and Dubs or Cobb

256
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: and Dubs are the ones that get the targets. Yeah.

257
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: I have a hard time starting either one though it

258
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: was hard too. Yeah, those three guys if you had

259
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: to start one of the three, I guess Lazard, but

260
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I've never been a fan. Don't don't chase the points

261
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: of Cobb is the point. I know. Dobbs has been

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: pretty consistently. He's gotten at least five part targets in

263
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: every game. I mean they're working on that. They also

264
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: dropped a touchdown. It was not so great. Aaron Rodgers

265
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: was back in the field after sitting out yesterday. If

266
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: that thumb injury, he's fine. He's not a starter anymore

267
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: though for fantasy I made no Quarterbacks are lean class

268
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: of top guys, but I don't know if Rodgers will

269
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: be in my top twelve. They do play the Jets, Yeah,

270
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: it's not too bad. It's a good matchup. They could

271
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: lose that game though. Yeah it's in Green Bay though,

272
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: and I mean they probably won't, probably won't. Abut this.

273
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams did not practice on Thursday. I don't think

274
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. I don't think he can play. Yeah,

275
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Higgins also a sideline. You can talk about a team

276
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: that could lose a game. Oh yeah, although we just

277
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: talked about the injuries with the Saints. I mean, I'd

278
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: love to bet against both of the big end Revenge Game,

279
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Revenge Game, Von Bell Revenge Game. Yeah, yeah that this

280
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: could be a Chase blow up game though, well, he'll

281
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: get Lattimore all the time he follows. What to think

282
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: of that game? Could Boyd benefit from no Higgins? Maybe

283
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: they could. I think you look at tight end to

284
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: say Hurst is usable. Yeah, yeah, Hurst isn't a bad start.

285
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Um Darius Tony was working outside with some trainers during

286
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: the Thursday's practice. That's nice. He wasn't doing He's a

287
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: football player in name only, right, he gets a check

288
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: never see the field. Same thing with Kenny Golladay. It's

289
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: just it's unbelievable. I don't know how many snaps Tony's

290
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: played in his now when he game career. I bet

291
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: it's like fifty, probably somewhere in that range. And it

292
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: took forever to see the field, and he heard quickly

293
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: after after being impressive, and it's probably like it's it's bad. Yeah,

294
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: it's really bad. First round pick. Ian Rappaport reporting that

295
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is expected to remain sidelined until at least

296
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: mid November. Okay, I mean there's been more and more

297
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: rumble about him. Rams are gonna up there. It's another month.

298
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: It's another month. Yeah, why why rush anything? He probably

299
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: is a deal in place with somebody and the hem

300
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: Hines remained limited uh in Thursday's practice for the Indianapolis Colts.

301
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: But yes, who returned Jonathan Taylor? Oh yeah, that's looking good. Yeah.

302
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean his workload should be immense. Yeah. I mean,

303
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: of course the whole world's gonna key on him, but

304
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: he needs to touch a like, hey, Jonathan, you just

305
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: got the week off last week. We're gonna we're gonna

306
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: run run the wheels off. I mean, I think Frank

307
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Reich's job is in jeopardy. Does he really care about

308
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the long term life? Fan of Jonathan Taylor. It's a

309
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: running back. It's a running back. Use them up like crazy.

310
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: You have to get a win. I think he touched

311
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the ball. And they're playing the Jaguars. This is a

312
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: team that's embarrassed them the last two times as they

313
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: played both in Jackson or Not. Yeah, I think Taylor

314
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: will be very useful for fantasy. Uh. Kyle Pitts was

315
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: limited and practiced on Thursday. That's two days in a

316
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: row of limited. At least he's trending in the right direction. Um,

317
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: a little bit optimism there. Now, just use him. There's

318
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: a couple of obstacles for him, obviously, But um, I'm

319
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: having some some dilemmas with him too, you know, like

320
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: I think I'm the joke WU put in his my

321
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: tight end, but I might put Pitts versus like a

322
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: gallop or an auk for my flax. My teams are

323
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: very good obviously, but that's the neighborhood I think he's in.

324
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do, unfortunately, right you'd like

325
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: to see it like if he just got give me

326
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: six targets a game, oh man, he'd be fine. Yeah,

327
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: not too yeah, not two or three maybe the fourth

328
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: fight end of the league or so, let's just not

329
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: forget about him out there and let him go out

330
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: and run seventeen. You know. One of the problems as

331
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: the Falcons haven't been losing by thirty, you know, like

332
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: I expect all the more reason to get the ball

333
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: to Pits. He's your best offensive player too. Yeah, but

334
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean there's been no garbage time throw throwth growth

335
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: growth row for the team, which I expected. Uh. J C.

336
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Horne missed practice on Thursday for the Carolina Panthers. He's

337
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: a really good player. Yeah. I heard a stat like

338
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: the last five or six coaching changes midseason coaching changes

339
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: in which a team has then been a double digit underdog.

340
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: They've covered in all those five straight everyone members a

341
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: Gruden mess. I mean they came back and played really

342
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: well after change. Sometimes you gotta get the guy out

343
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: the building. Yeah, they're in Los Angeles this week. The

344
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: Rams are double digit favorites. I mean, that's still got there.

345
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: It's still it's still PJ. It's p J Walker. I

346
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: get it right, right, But I mean they're gonna get

347
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: the ball to McCaffrey, and I mean you're still gonna

348
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: block Brown and Burns, and I mean their lines bad.

349
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Although Horn probably spend some time on cup or shutdown Robinson,

350
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: he'd be a loss um. Chief special teams coordinator David

351
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Talbs said, Harrison Butker will kick against the Bills on

352
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Sunday as long as we don't have any setbacks. If

353
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Harrison Boker is still on your is on your waiver wire,

354
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: pick him up, Yeah, grab him. He's probably got cut.

355
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: He's one of the two or three kickers in the

356
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: league that he matters. Yeah, he matters. Um, here we

357
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: go for the the Dolphins. Note were on Armstead that

358
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: toe injury. I think the line in that game is

359
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: only like three or four. It's nuts. I think bikes

360
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: are going to destroy them. The Miami's defense hasn't been

361
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: particularly good. They don't have a ton of running game

362
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: to count on. You know, the quarterback is going to be,

363
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, overmatched. I'm not sure what Vegas knows on

364
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: that one. I don't think that being a close game

365
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: at all. Marshawn Lattimore did not practice on Wednesday, didn't

366
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: have a lot of things go. Yeah they did. Um,

367
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: how about this little report here from again this is

368
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. According to the NFL Network, William Jackson

369
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: has been the subject of recent trade talks. He's making

370
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: a pretty decent body. Yeah. He sent a twill year,

371
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: forty two million dollar contract. Yeah, he's not a bad player. Yeah,

372
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: consider for the Steelers, don't if they want to take

373
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: on that kind of money. He's a little older than

374
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: what you think too. He's twenty eight. Yeah, that was

375
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: that was That was the already Burns draft. Yeah. He's

376
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: been the league five six years. Yeah, I mean this

377
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: would be well, he became a free agent. He was

378
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick and he sent it. He's

379
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: a second year, three years deal, so he's this, this

380
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: is your seven for him. He could be declining to Yeah,

381
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: he's expensive. The Dolphins are optimistic that Austin Jackson, there

382
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: other tackle we'll play this week. It's bad for them, yeah,

383
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean some of this is going to carry over

384
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: the stealer game. I don't know if it'll be to

385
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: a Bridgewater Armstead he'll yeah, but they're gonna be sure

386
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure as Avon Howard's healthy now. Ian

387
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Rappaport reported that Teddy Bridgewater will return to practice Thursday

388
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: on a limited non contact basis. That means he is

389
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: still in the protocol. I thought they ruled him out.

390
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: They've ruled him out, but he's at least starting the

391
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: process of getting back on the field. There's a good

392
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: chance I would think he's there. These are from Wednesday

393
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: because these are the West Coast things. But these are

394
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: two very high profile fantasy guys. Tyler Higbee and Cooper

395
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: Cup did not practice for the Rams on Wednesday. There's

396
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: anything wrong with Cup? Cup was his a foot? Okay?

397
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: I guess it's an ankle for Higbee. Yeah, yeah, no kidding, Um,

398
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison is dealing with the shoulder injury. That could

399
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: be great news. Yeah for cook one more series that

400
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: you weren't going to get type of thing. Um. Brandon

401
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: Staley said that Keenan Allen is still day to day.

402
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: You want to pull your hair out of your head. Yeah,

403
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: until you're less ball than Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen is

404
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: the guy. He was like bad, but he was twenty

405
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: two the beauty Keenan Allen. He's like the most reliable

406
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: dude in the league except this ship right now, Yeah,

407
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: except this year. He hasn't played since Week one, right,

408
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: and he's good for the same stat line like year

409
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: week after week and boy brutal. Yeah, I made the

410
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: mistake of a trading for him after week one. Is

411
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: a throw in in my Jonathan Taylor trade. They played

412
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: someone bad, don't they. They are playing We just talked

413
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: about somebody Monday night against the Broncos. M HM, HM

414
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: would say Everett or Palmer if you're hurting, maybe, I

415
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: mean I think Mike Williams is strong. Yeah, but you'd

416
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: love to get Allen that. Yeah, Well that's who I

417
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: traded from. I traded Mike Williams working in Allen. Well,

418
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe the extra day you can't start him hoping he plays,

419
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: but if he's a game time decision, you at least

420
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: would get a game. Yeah, I mean I got Taylor

421
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: out of that deal, but he hasn't been exactly first

422
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: biverall picked guy, yet he didn't play last week? Are right?

423
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: Kind of kind of a big deal both guys I

424
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: traded for, haven't you know? It's crazy this year? I

425
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: mean the guys to own are Kelsey Andrews in the

426
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: top four quarterbacks. I mean, if you have those guys,

427
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: the guy in our league that's five and oh he

428
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: has Josh Allen at quarterback and Kelsey the tight end.

429
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: I shouldn't even tell this story, but everyone knows. I

430
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: go to Deep Creek Labor Day weekend my buddy Sab,

431
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: who knows the least in the league, and I'll tell

432
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: you that I had to go to a wedding, couldn't

433
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: go to the weekend. He was crushed. I mean, no

434
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: one has more fun there than Sab. Auto drafted first

435
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: pick Kelsey, second pick Alan and the software was so

436
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: screwed up it drafted six more tight ends for him,

437
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: even drafted Kelsey, so he leaves the roster with seven

438
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: tight ends. We have a deep league. He's in first place, undefeated.

439
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: The fantasy experts owen five in last place. Gets paid

440
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: to do this stuff. Not that I'm a little harsh

441
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: about it or anything, right, Fantasy football is some much.

442
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: There's so much luck involved. This is a big fight

443
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: with amongst the league two is They're all like, it's

444
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: all lucky. You don't have advantage over anyone. I'm like, yeah,

445
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: I do. I definitely do in some ways, you know. Okay,

446
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: So when it comes to drafting in terms of building

447
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: your depth, um yes, and managing and roster throughout the

448
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: year yea. And managing the roster, um, I think the

449
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: draft of one basically works off the same list the

450
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: list or not. It doesn't give me that much of anything, right,

451
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: I got I get my list. There's there's another list.

452
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: There's some guys that I like better than you know.

453
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: I drafted Christian Kirk. I had it. I'm on Ross st. Brown.

454
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: You know mon Ross st Brown was ranked higher on

455
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the list. I like kirk situation better. I still ended

456
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: up with both of them, but still, um, that's just

457
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: part of it. But it's to me that the shorter

458
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: your benches, the easier it makes for bad players because

459
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: they can go get somebody they can go find. So, yeah,

460
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: get some pick somebody above the waiver, right, there's always

461
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't have quarterbacks a week, I'll find somebody that. Yeah,

462
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: they'll bother there's six guys on the waiver, or I'll

463
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: just plug one of them in. I don't know if

464
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: you agree with this either, because I'm not a poker player,

465
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: but I think i'd love it. I think it's a

466
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: lot like poker. Like if I have terrible cards, I'm

467
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: still gonna lose, right, But if we play poker two

468
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: thousand hands, I'm gonna beat my buddies more than I love. Yeah,

469
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: I know that, and it's proven true. This leak's years old,

470
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: and I don't have a losing record against any of

471
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the other eleven teams. But I'm awful this year and

472
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: they're loving it next year. Next year, just do the

473
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: auto draft. Well that's the big joke. Stay home with Williamson,

474
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: go to a wedding and let's sap draft for it.

475
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: It happens sometimes sometimes you just I mean, I've just

476
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: been crushed by injuries this year. Met part of it,

477
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: you know. But I do think My point though, is

478
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I think fantasy might be changing a little bit. One

479
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: of those standals I might pay up for alan next year. Well,

480
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: we talked about it when we did our mock drafts.

481
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: I paid up for pits. Our teams were. Our teams

482
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: were better when we took one of those those running

483
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks earlier than we typically would like to write. The

484
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: advantage you have over a car Rogers is massive right now.

485
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: Those four they might all be first one picked, and

486
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: there there's nobody this year who's emerging like a Lamar.

487
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: Did his rookie hurts or hurts or none of them,

488
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: there's nobody on that horizon. Pickett can't I don't even

489
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: think he can't be that, None of the none of

490
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: the rookies this year, I don't believe can be that.

491
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: I thought Fields or Lance could before really watching them play,

492
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, but then they still could, I guess, But

493
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: they're a long way from that. Yeah, maybe Fields says

494
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: it tonight, and then I'll be happy start. Yeah, give

495
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: me a hundred rushing yards tonight, in two hundred yards

496
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: passing and a couple of touchdowns. I bet you the

497
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Berry's and the analysts out there next year saying,

498
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: don't take Kamar in the first round and hope he

499
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: stays healthy. Just take out Yeah, and I can. I'm

500
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: starting to think that way. Or Andrews or Kelsey they

501
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: never get old, right, And you know, it's just such

502
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: an I mean, it used to be that the top quarterbacks,

503
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're Tom Brady and his prime, even

504
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: if he threw forty touchdown passes, still on the average

505
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: like four points more per game than the next closest quarterback.

506
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: The difference between number one and number eight was minimal.

507
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: Yeah it was, you know, within it wasn't even ten points.

508
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: Now it's now it's massive because the running quarterbacks who

509
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: also can throw the football, like the league gas referencing

510
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the trade didn't happen, but they were gonna trade Barkley

511
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: for Kelsey. I get it. I see both sides. You know,

512
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: stud running back to me is I wouldn't trade for

513
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: anything two years ago. But if you can give me

514
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Kelsey by this year, the difference, I mean you, if

515
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: you have Kelsey or Andrews's unbelievable. There's six guys owned.

516
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: There's those four quarterbacks and those two tight ends. None

517
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: of the other tight ends are doing I mean you're

518
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: stardom or not. You know those guys are. Tyler Higbee's

519
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: a guy because he gets targeted like its looking good?

520
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: Is looking good? I know who's not looking good? Cow

521
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: pits Right, That's what I paid for that, right. I

522

Speaker 1: wish I'll let you have him. I know you would

523
