And I'm 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: not just making it up. And I'm not just you know, fabricating, uh, 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, fake people. I'm like birds, birds aren't real anyway. 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: I just wanted to me of course here to my left, 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: we wanted only Michael f.

We're in week eleven now, so 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: we're rapidly closing in on the end of this season. 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Yeah for real, and uh it's week eleven already. I 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: can't believe that. I can't believe that there's people out 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: there who believe birds are in fact real, because we 19 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: all know that they are not. But oh yeah, fun 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: fun Wednesday morning. So far with you, Planny to talk 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: about on the show today. We have, as always are 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: three big questions four week eleven that we'll get you 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: the game previews as we go through the Thursday and 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: Sunday schedule, and of course we'll finish off with some 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: sleepers for the upcoming week. But let's get started, as 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: we always do, with some fantasy headlines. Uh. Maybe one 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: of the biggest ones of this week so far, Corderyl 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: Patterson is dealing with a sprained ankle and is very 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: likely to miss the Thursday night game against the New 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: England Patriots. Um I would have said in August, there's 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: no way we'd be talking about Corderoll Patterson in a 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, serious fantasy relevant capacity, But here we are. 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: He's been amazing all year long, and so losing him 34 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a big blow to a lot of fantasy rosters. 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: That moves Mike Davis up the pecking order. It does 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: bring Wayne Gallman into effect. But I guess for for 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Mike Davis, I mean, how much do you trust starting 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: him because he's had a atty big role and he 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: hasn't done much with it this year. Yeah, I as 40 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: of right now, I in my rankings, if you go 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: and check on NFL dot com. I have him Gallman 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: and Mike Davis both as flex options, but I did 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: see this morning. I haven't got to update the rankings 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: yet put that. Arthur Smith basically said that Wayne Gollman 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: saw so much usage last week because the Falcons were 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: getting blown out and they knew they had a game 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: Thursday night, so they wanted to rest the starters and 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: keep them fresh. So I am gonna be lower in 49 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: Golment a bit and raising Mike Davis. I think when 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: it's all said and done, though, he'll still come in 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: as like a high end like around RB like because 52 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I think I after like RB twenty three this week, 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: it gets gross extremely fast, So he'll come in that 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: range like as a high end flex option, but not 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: someone that I'm super excited to get into my starting lineups. Yeah, 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean Wayne Golman. I do think it's funny that 57 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: we're like, hey, Wayne Goldman, you're you're gonna be the 58 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: innings eater right now. You know what, we just needs 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: you to run some clock for us. Uh, So that 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: that is not encouraging just the way Mike Davis has 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: performed as still technically the lead running back there in Atlanta. 62 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: UH is not really encouraging. The Patriots have been pretty 63 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: good against opposing run games. So I don't and here 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: in a pinch, I get it. I don't know that 65 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: I'd be super excited about starting Mike Davis this week. 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: UM in San Francisco. It's been a different story with 67 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. He's been fantastic all year long. He has 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: been the forty Niners rookie running back that we should 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: have been talking about, uh instead of people like hyping 70 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: up Trey Sermon. He has a broken finger. His status 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: for this week is uncertain right now. So this means 72 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: it's Jeff Wilson Jr. Time. If Mitchell can't suit up. Yes, 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Is the next in the pecking order. 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: We know it is not Trey Sermon. I mean Wilson 75 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: was the backup running back last week. He got you know, 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: with Ja Michael Hasty sideline like it was Wilson. They 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: turned to not Sermons. So the Sermon thing is gone. 78 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: But I still cannot rule out Elijah Mitchell because Kyle 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Shanahan came out and said like, yeah, you know, yeah, 80 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: I broke his finger. But we're hoping he could practice 81 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: and play this week. My question is, like, in a 82 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: game where you had such a big lead, why did 83 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell gets twenty seven? Maybe it would have been 84 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: good to get the other backs a little bit more involved. 85 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: But we were joking before the show. This guy's basically Wolverine. 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: It feels like every week he's dealing with the severe 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: injury and then he's just out there playing. So if 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: Mitchell suits up, I think you start him. If he sits, 89 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: then I think you start Jeff Wilson Jr. I mean, 90 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: if we're going with the X Men team, he apparently 91 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: absorbed by he most its powers, because that's what where 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: he most was all those weeks where it's like, hey, 93 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: most dire it is is doubtful, and he hasn't practiced 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: all week, and suddenly on Sunday he suits up and 95 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: he you know, runs for like eight yards in a touchdown. Um, 96 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: maybe Eli Mitchell is that Although I do have concerns, Uh, 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: your job is to hold onto the football, it seems 98 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: like it would be more difficult to do with a 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: broken finger. That's just me. These players are are different beasts, 100 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: they really are. You know, they're a different breed from 101 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: from you know, us Mortals, sitting here in a studio 102 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: with headsets on doing the show. Look, if he's playing, 103 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: obviously you're playing Eli mitchell I. You've got Jeff Wilson, though, 104 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: you know, hang on, keep an eye on the news reports, 105 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: keep an eye on the practice reports as we get 106 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: through Friday and Saturday, and we'll get a better idea 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: of the situation because the matchup is not bad. I mean, 108 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: they got the Jaguars this week, so I would say 109 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: just check your waiver while real quick in case Jeff Wilson, 110 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: he might still be out there. So if you have 111 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Mitchell or even if you don't, you just need a 112 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: running back this week. He's a good stash candidate just 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: in case. Right now, absolutely more running back news this 114 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: in the New York sit, Kwon Barkley could be back 115 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: for this week's game for the New York Football Giants. 116 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: It looked like what a couple of weeks and we 117 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: thought maybe he'd be back. He caught COVID, then he 118 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: came off the COVID list, but it was still the 119 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: injury issue that kept him out. Hopefully he's back. I mean, 120 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: there's not much to say here. Right, if he's back, 121 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: you're starting right. Yeah. Like I have him ranked as 122 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: my RB twenty this week because of the matchup and 123 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: because it would be his first game back. But even so, 124 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: like there's running back drives up so fast this week 125 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: that yeah, if stake one's there, you start him all right. 126 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: Uh go back to Monday Night right. Uh. Last week 127 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: we talked about the Monday Night game. This week, it 128 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: also is worth sort of kind of rehashing a little 129 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: bit one because I think it caught just about everybody 130 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: by surprise with the Niners kind of ambushing the Rams 131 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: and getting a big win there. But for the second 132 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: straight week, it was a rough night for Matthew Stafford 133 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: through an interception very early. It was interesting because on 134 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: the very first play they completed a short pass to 135 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Then a couple of plays later it's 136 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: this long pass down field where Odell was I guess 137 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: the intended target, but there were two forty Niner defenders 138 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: back there. Uh. Stafford ended up throwing a pick six. 139 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: He just had another rough night. So after two bad 140 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: games in a row, and mind you, the Rams are 141 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: on a bye this week, Um, what is your concern level? 142 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: For Matthew Stafford, it's still low as of now. I 143 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: think part of it is because the bye week. I 144 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: think it allow the offense to reset um like a 145 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: division game against a team like San Francisco. Weird stuff 146 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: happens in those games, and San Francisco is still a 147 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: pretty good defense, so I'm not holding that one against him. 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: And the Titans defense has been red hot, so I 149 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: think he's just kind of found too hot teams right now. 150 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: And on Monday Night there was a lot of drops. 151 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: I will say though, Stafford just looked off on Monday 152 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: Night like he was thrown behind receivers. He was throwing 153 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: high all night. I have a little bit of concern 154 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: because a couple of weeks ago we started to hear 155 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: that his back was getting tight, and we know that's 156 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: been an issue for him. But I think I'm expecting 157 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: the Rams to look like the Rams again after the bye. 158 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: If they don't, then I'd have a very different answer 159 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: to this question. Yeah, I would say my my concern 160 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: level is mild. It's growing a little bit. It's growing 161 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: in part because the thing we've heard the last couple 162 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: of weeks from the teams they've played is that there's 163 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: this feeling that the Rams aren't ready for physical football games, 164 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: that they can be kind of pushed around and beat 165 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: up a little bit. It seems like the Titans kind 166 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: of did that. The Niners certainly went out and did 167 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: their best to do that and rattled them a little bit. 168 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see if the Rams can take 169 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: this by a week to sort of get right, if 170 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: they can retool something. So I'm not ready to panic 171 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: on Matthew Stafford just yet, but it is something that 172 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of keeping an eye on, uh to 173 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: see elsewhere. Cooper Cup Fantasy m VP, Like, is it over? 174 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Is the race done? At this point? It feels like 175 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: it like I want to make a case for like 176 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: maybe Dee Bill Samuel or something, and I know they 177 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: the Rams haven't had their buy it so Cooper Cups 178 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: had an extra game. But as of right now, Tyreek 179 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: Hill is the only receiver within sixty Fantasy points of 180 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and he is well over forty behind him. 181 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: So like Cooper Cup is just lapping the position right now, 182 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: I think, and especially for where you were getting him, 183 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: because he was he was the cheapest he has been 184 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: in years. This year. So yeah, I think he is 185 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: the runaway m v P as of now. He is 186 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,119 Speaker 1: right now about thirty six points ahead of Patrick Mahomes. 187 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes scored thirty six points this past week. That was 188 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: his high for the season. Right, thirty six points is 189 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: a ridiculous total in for anybody in any given weeks. 190 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: So basically it would take my Homes having another bananas 191 00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: week against the Cowboys to catch Cooper Cup. Uh So yeah, 192 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: I assume that Cooper Cup is still going to be 193 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: the top scoring player in fantasy when Week eleven is done. 194 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Which is I mean we always say like, oh, there 195 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: the top score of non quarterbacks because quarterbacks shot always 196 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: lap everyone. Cooper Cup is lapping every quarterback. I mean, 197 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: this is a season unlike one that we've had recently, Like, 198 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: when's the last time receiver was this much better than 199 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the field. It's it's insane what he is doing. And 200 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: he did it on Monday with having not really a 201 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: great game. The Rams are kind of awful, but he 202 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: still put up twenty three points. That's the thing, Like 203 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: if when you watch this isn't the first time this 204 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: year where like I've watched the Rams play and be 205 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: like oh, Cooper Cups had a down game, and then 206 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: you look and it's like, oh wait, he had like 207 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: Clay yards. Look at that didn't feel like it. But 208 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: but there we are. Uh. There are a couple of 209 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: teams on by here in week eleven. It's the Broncos 210 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: and the Rams who get the week off. So that 211 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: means there are some notable players that will not be 212 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: available to you. Uh. The quarterback spot Teddy Bridgewater, who 213 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: has apparently been answering questions about his is uh willingness 214 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: to tackle whatever. Um, He's gonna be off this week. 215 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, we just talked about he's gonna be off 216 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: this week. Uh. Some running backs of note, definitely, Melvin Gordon, 217 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, and Darryl Henderson. Your wide receivers you got 218 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy. I guess you could say Courtland Sutton. I 219 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: don't know, Uh, on do the side Obviously, Cooper cup 220 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: is off this week, no Odell, no Van Jefferson. Uh 221 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,239 Speaker 1: in a tight end of missing Noah Fans and Tyler Higbee. 222 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: All right, we've got three big questions for Week eleven 223 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: to help you not mess up your fantasy football lineup. 224 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: So let's start. We talked about the Rams and their 225 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: recent struggles. Let's talk about the forty Niners though, because 226 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: we mentioned this last week about Jimmy Garoppolo sort of 227 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: making us wait for Trey Lance and fantasy wise, he 228 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: wasn't spectacular on Monday Night, just bought fifteen and some change. Uh. 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: They didn't really need him because they ran the ball 230 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: so effectively. But at this point, it feels like Jimmy 231 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: Garoppolo is a long ways of from getting bitched. Right, 232 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: He's doing enough and is playing well enough that he's 233 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: going to stay on the field. So since he's gonna 234 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: be on the field, do we need to think about 235 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: starting him in right matchups? I think so. And that's 236 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: what this week is like. It's a favorable matchup against 237 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: the Jacks. The only concern I have is like, are 238 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: they Is it gonna be similar to last week where 239 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: they get a little lead and then they just run 240 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: the ball the entire second half. But last week I 241 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: was like speculating that if the Niners lost to the Rams, 242 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: maybe they turn to Trey Lance. They are definitely not 243 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: going to be doing that right now. At four and five, 244 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: there are half a game out of the seventh seed 245 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: and a game out of the six seeds, so they're 246 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: very much still in this race. I don't know if 247 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: we when we see Trey Lance at this point, but 248 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: I know that it's not coming anytime soon. This is 249 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy G's team still in Yeah. I think he's a 250 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: streamable option this week and in favorable matchups. The thing 251 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: that is helping the forty Niners is hurting fantasy managers 252 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: in that, as you mentioned, they are half a game 253 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: out of the last playoff spot. They are a game 254 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: out of the sixth seed. Uh in the NFC. So 255 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: the fact that the n see a sort of top 256 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: heavy with a whole bunch of middling teams kind of 257 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: hanging around, that's good for San Francisco. That means they're 258 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: still in this race and they don't have to maybe 259 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of changes. We want changes, we 260 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: want trade Lance, uh, and that's not happening anytime soon. 261 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: So I do think, you know, I think at this point, 262 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: let's just this is chalk it up, right, Jimmy Garoppolo 263 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: is going to be a matchup based quarterback. Over the 264 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: last month. He is the QB seven and he is 265 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: available in about nine of NFL dot Com League's. Uh so, 266 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you're especially if you're in a two 267 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: QB league, the super flex league, he should definitely be 268 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: on rosters. And um, I don't know if this is 269 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: mean re dropping train Lance now, like what do we 270 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: do with trade Lance. I've been holding Trade Lance all 271 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: year in a just a ten team two quarterback league, 272 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: and I dropped him this past week because I was like, 273 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't know when it's gonna happen, but I don't 274 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: anticipated coming, especially if the Niners win this week against 275 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: the Jags like we're expecting them to, like they are 276 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: a hundred percent right back in the race then, and 277 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: so I dropped him there. The only spot of hole 278 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: thing him is in a super flex keeper league, because 279 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like someone might trade him, trade me for him. 280 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: But besides that and just regular seasonal leagues, I think 281 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: you can can drop trade Land. Think, especially as you're 282 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: starting to make a playoff push like that, that roster 283 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: spot becomes valuable and it just doesn't make sense to 284 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: hold it for a guy that doesn't look like he's 285 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: getting on the field anytime soon. Speaking of getting back 286 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: on the field, Clyde Edwards. Hilaire is expected to be 287 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: back this week for the Kansas City Chiefs. They got 288 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: a huge game against the Dallas Cowboys. We'll get to 289 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: that in just a little bit. But in his absence, 290 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: Darryl Williams has stepped in and played well. We've seen 291 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: Derek Gore step in and do things. So if C E. 292 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: H Is back, what do we do about the Chief's backfield? Uh, 293 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: it's not great at all now. I just I think 294 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: it's better honestly when c H was out because and 295 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: then we knew at least the bulk of the work 296 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: was going to Darryl Williams. I think right now it's 297 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: a big question mark because what I am anticipating at 298 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: least is a lot of c EACH on the ground 299 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: with Darryl Williams getting the bulk of targets, which is 300 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: not what we thought when they drafted Clyde Edwards. Were like, 301 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna unlock the Chiefs passing game, and 302 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: it's actually been Darryl Williams. I mean, we saw that 303 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: catch at darry Williams made in the end zone the 304 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: other day. So I think as of right now c 305 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: H is like an RB two maybe even a flex option. 306 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: But I think Daryl Williams is as well until we 307 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: get clarity, because Williams, when they were both healthy, was 308 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: also getting the work near the goal line. So I'm 309 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: not ready to say yet that he can just fully 310 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: be benched. Yeah, I mean, I think you're definitely holding 311 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: onto Darrell Williams. I guess I would probably play him 312 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: as a flex if I depend me on my situation 313 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: what it is. I'm just very curious as to how 314 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: this is going to work out, um, because I think 315 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: even before the injury, I think the Chiefs sort of 316 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: were feeling like maybe they need to kind of give c. E. 317 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: H some help or arrest him a little bit because 318 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: he just he was fine, he wasn't great. So I 319 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: do think there's going to be a role for Darryl Williams. 320 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious as to what that is, how big it's 321 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: going to be, um, and so like, don't drop him, 322 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: don't give up on him just yet, but you know, 323 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: to take away and see do you think there's a 324 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: chance that that Williams could be the lead back now 325 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: even with c H back, I don't. I feel it's 326 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: gonna be like a one one a sort of thing 327 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: where I don't know that we have a clear definition 328 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: of who the lead, which is that's the worst actually, 329 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: like that's even worse, Like just give us a one 330 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: and a two. But I don't think that they're gonna 331 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: do that. So, um, this is gonna be a big week, 332 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: I think to kind of figure out how things are 333 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: gonna go in that offense. Um staying in the division. 334 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: Darren Waller a guy that that a lot of us, 335 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: myself included, spent up in drafts to go get. I 336 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: mean he was a second round, third round pick and 337 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: a whole lot of drafts and at this point has 338 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: been pretty underwhelming right now. I mean, he is a 339 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: top tin tied end. He's actually uh you know, is 340 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: hanging around there, but it's not pretty. Uh in the 341 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: last few weeks especially have not been pretty. He's your 342 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: tight end seven right now. How worried are we about 343 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: a guy though, who hasn't scored a touchdown since Week four? 344 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting to get pretty worried about him, not 345 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: in the sense where like you're dropping him or even 346 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: benching him, because he's still giving you pretty much double 347 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: digit fantasy points each week, and that is enough to 348 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: make him a tight end one. Plus, we know the 349 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: upside that he brings, like we saw it in Week 350 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: one where he had twenties nearly twenty seven Fantasy points. 351 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: But Week one and Week nine are the only games 352 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: this year where he has more than eight targets in 353 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: a game. To me, it feels like defenses are like, Okay, 354 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: we know this is there one big piece that we 355 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: had to defend. Like there was a play against the 356 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs this past week where they had three defenders on him, 357 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: And to me, it feels like the Raiders are content 358 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: being like, Okay, he's gonna draw all the defensive attention 359 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: and we're just gonna give the ball to like Hunter 360 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: renfro instead of being like, hey, let's design place to 361 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: get Darren Waller open and in space. So that is 362 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: kind of frustrating. But I still think, yes, he's not 363 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: living up to the price we paid on draft day 364 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: and and I was super high and Darren Waller coming 365 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: into the year. But you're still starting him. I don't 366 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: think you're dropping him or anything like that. I mean 367 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: that's the thing. You're still starting him because the rest 368 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: of the tied end there's you're not gonna find options 369 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: with a higher ceiling than Darren Waller out there on 370 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. But the Raiders are spreading the ball 371 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: around more. I mean, I think when they changed play 372 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: callers after they lost John Gruden and Greg Olsen took 373 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: over the play calling. Um, you've seen more people get 374 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: involved in this offense, right, We We have seen more 375 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Hunter renfro, We have seen a lot more of Kenyan 376 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: Drake u involved in this offense. And so they're finding 377 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: other options. As you mentioned. Also, defenses are sort of 378 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: scheming to take Waller away. And and I don't remember 379 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: who I saw tweet this, and so I apologize for that. 380 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: But what we're getting out of Darren Waller this year 381 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: is sort of what a lot of people, myself included, 382 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: thought we would see from him last year. Right two 383 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: years ago, he had the big breakout year and a 384 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: lot of us were like, Okay, well, touchdown regression is 385 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: going to hit. He can't keep this up. And then 386 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: last year he did it again, and so we're like, oh, 387 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: so maybe this is just how it is with Darren Waller. Uh, 388 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: And then we're learning that this year is that's that's 389 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: not just how it is with Darren Waller. Uh, they're 390 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: finding other ways to to move the football. So I'm 391 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: very concerned, but I'm also with you, Um, I'm not 392 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: not starting him. It's just another year with Trevis kill 393 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: This is gonna be the sixth straight year which Trevis 394 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: Kelsey is to tight end, and even Travis Kelsey isn't 395 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: having the kind of Travis Kelsey here that we anticipated. 396 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: But at some point we just gotta be like, this 397 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: is the greatest fantasy tight end every right. I mean, hey, 398 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: he is. He's he's knocking on the door of gronk 399 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: Man for that title. Um, Kyle Pitts, he might be coming, 400 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: he might be what's next? So I mean, look, here's 401 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: we didn't plan to talk about Kyle Pitts, but here 402 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: it is. He's he's been Okay, he hasn't been anything special, 403 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: but he's the tight end six right now. So uh, 404 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: once he gets comfortable next year in drafts. I know 405 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: this is way off topic, but he's probably going to 406 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: be the tight end two off the ball here. I 407 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: think he really will be acause Wallers having a down year. 408 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: Kid will miss a lot of time. Again, I think 409 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: the fans and fantasy players love hype kid's gonna Pitts 410 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: gonna have all of that He's we haven't as a 411 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: fantasy tight into right now. By the time we get 412 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: the August, he'll be coming off the board. I know 413 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Time for a break when we come back. 414 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: Some game previews that stunned the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 415 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: All right, that gets us to the start of our 416 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: game previews for week eleven. Let's start with the Thursday 417 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: night football game, Patriots at Falcons. I heard once upon 418 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: a time they played a game against each other that's 419 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: sort of counted for something big, and one team coughed 420 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: up a big lead. I don't know if that's true. 421 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: That could be a conspiracy theory, like you know, the 422 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: whole like powdered doughnut thing. I don't know um anyway, 423 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: as we're looking at this game, and I don't know 424 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: what the By the way, I don't know what the 425 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: powder donut theory is. It just showed up in my mentioned. 426 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: If it's something I'm scene that don't didn't. I didn't 427 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: mention it at all. I didn't say it. I'll have 428 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: to go YouTube it later. Anyway. Patriots at Falcons, what 429 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: are we looking at fantasy wise, I think you could 430 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: start the Patriots starting running back, whether that is Damian 431 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: Harris or Ramond Stevenson this week. Uh. Harris returned to 432 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: practice this week, he was limited. He's still very up 433 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 1: in the air with it being a short week. But 434 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: the Falcons have allowed the third most fantasy points to 435 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: running backs on the season, behind only the Jets and 436 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. So I think the lead back for the 437 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: Pats is definitely a mustart option. Stevenson looked like a 438 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: beast the other day. I'm actually even thinking, even if 439 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Harris plays, I think you could use Stevenson as a 440 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: flex option because it's looking like he'll get work in 441 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: the passing game, and maybe they want to ease back 442 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: the the workload of Damian Harris. I don't know. I'm 443 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: having a hard time, Marcus envisioning how the Patriots can 444 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: get away from Stevenson given how good he has looked. Yeah, 445 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's completely going away. I mean, 446 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: I think I still think Damien Harris uh is the 447 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: lead back there, but but Stevenson has been so good, 448 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: and and we know that Bill Belichick likes to use 449 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: more than one running back, So I think he definitely 450 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: has some you know, kind of some low end RB 451 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: two potential. Uh if Harris for whatever reason can't go, 452 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: then that that rockets up even more against a bad 453 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Falcons defense. Um Cowboys at Chiefs. We sort of hinted 454 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: at this game that is, to me, the marquee game 455 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: on the schedule this week, two teams with aspirations of 456 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl this year. I would say, you know what, though, 457 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: kind of beware of Dalton Schultz and this is maybe 458 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: sort of a Darren Waller situation where you're not not 459 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: starting him because you're not going to find a better option, 460 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: but one. His production over the last few weeks has 461 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: been down, and the Chiefs have been just sort of 462 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: middle of the road like that. The numbers say that 463 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: they have been kind of bad against tight ends. They 464 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: gave up a huge game to Dawson Knox early in 465 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: the season where he had a hundred and seventeen yards 466 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: and a touchdown but only three catches. Beyond that, most 467 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: of the tight end performances have been kind of middling, 468 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: where you know, one of the better ones has been 469 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: maybe ten and a half eleven points sort of thing, 470 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: and when you're talking about the Cowboys getting their offense going, 471 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: spreading the football around. We saw Seedee Lamb have the 472 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: big game last week. Marii Cooper is still there. We 473 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: know that Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliot is still gonna 474 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: work in Um. This is a situation where it could 475 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: be another sort of mediocre at best week for Dalton Schultz. 476 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: So you're starting him. I get it. I just might 477 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: not be great again this week for him. Yeah. I 478 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: know it was one game, Marcus, but this guy was 479 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: like the leading target for weeks and in the first 480 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: game with Michael Gallup back, Dalton Schultz had a six 481 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: percent target share that was behind Lamb, Pollard, Gallup, Cooper, 482 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: and Zeke. I'm pretty worried about him after that week. 483 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: It just it has not been the same for him 484 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: over the last few weeks. So something just to keep 485 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: in mind. This is the portion of the show where 486 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: I talk about TikTok and how you should follow us 487 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: on TikTok at NFL Fantasy. On TikTok. You can also 488 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: follow me on TikTok at Marcus Grant on TikTok. Have 489 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: I said TikTok enough for you? TikTok. Let's get back 490 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: to my game previews though. Saints and the Eagles a 491 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: couple of teams that you know, there's a lot going 492 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: on at running back. We know hopefully Alvin Kamara is back. 493 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: We know mark Ingram had the big week last week. 494 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: The Eagles look like they're more interested in running the 495 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: football all lately. Where are you going? What should people 496 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: be paying attention to in this one? I think you 497 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: should be aware of the Eagles running backs who whoever 498 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: it may be. Miles Sanders was activated. He's off the 499 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: i R, so now he could be active in the 500 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: next three weeks. I know they're kind of saying they 501 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: expect him back this week. Just monitor that. But even 502 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: if Sanders is back this week, I'm saying be aware 503 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: of him. The Saints have given up the third fewest 504 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: fantasy points to running backs this year, and that includes 505 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: just fifty four rushing yards per game. Plus if it 506 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: is sanders first game back, Marcus I still have some concern, 507 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: like are they gonna get Jordan Howard or Boston's got 508 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more utilized. Especially concern that I have 509 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: is like, is Jordan Howard near the goal line gonna 510 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: go away because he has been very effective there and 511 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: if that's the case, it becomes a fantasy nightmare for 512 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles running backs. I know a lot of people 513 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: are excited to have Miles Sanders back. I just think 514 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: this is a week to be a little weary of him. Yeah, 515 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: I definitely would be be very concerned about Eagles running 516 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: backs this week. Are we still holding onto Jordan Howard 517 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: even with Miles Sanders back? I think you could drop 518 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: him alright, but a borderline, he's a good backup in 519 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: case anything happens to Sanders. Yeah, I just this is anything. 520 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: Like we talked about, watching what happens with the Chiefs backfield, 521 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on how the the Eagles 522 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: are using their running backs to This is the time 523 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: of year two where buys are starting to be behind us, 524 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: where your handcuffs become important to have on your roster. 525 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: So if you have Sanders especially, I think you hold 526 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: on to Howard all right. Beingals at the Raiders. And 527 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: remember those days not all that long ago, when we 528 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: were plugging c j u sama as a streamable option. 529 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: They're back. We're back to streaming c j uzama. We 530 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: can do it against the Raiders. They have been one 531 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: of the worst defenses against tight ends all season long. 532 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: And look, we have said this repeatedly and it remains 533 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: true if you are streaming tight ends, if you're playing 534 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: the waiver wire at the position, you just want a 535 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: guy who has the potential to score or a touchdown, 536 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: and Usama does that, especially against this Raiders defense. Uh. Look, 537 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: we know that in the passing game, Jamark Chase is 538 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: getting most of the work. Pri C. T. Higgins, Tyler 539 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: Boyd has been mostly a no show. So I think, 540 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, you could even make a case that Usama 541 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: maybe the number three option in the passing game, depending 542 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: on where you put Joe Mixon. But either way, you 543 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: just need a couple of catches. Maybe he breaks the 544 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: tackler too, he ends up in the end zone and 545 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: uh that's all you did. You see right there? Fifth 546 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: among tight ends in points per game since Week four. 547 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: So CJ Usama back in our lives? Who would have 548 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: thought it? Uh, Packers at the Vikings, big big matchup 549 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: in the NFC North, What are we doing here? I 550 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: think A J. Dillon is a must start option. With 551 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones out this week, it's a favorable matchup. But 552 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: A J. Dillon just showed us last week why we 553 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: should all get so excited. From twenty three touches over 554 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven fantasy points, he scored two touchdowns. What I 555 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: love is he's getting unilas in the passing game as well. 556 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: He nearly it's many receiving yards as rushing yards this 557 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: past week. So I think that he is an RB 558 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: one Marcus with Aaron Jones line. I think his upside 559 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: it's like top five. If he's gonna be getting like 560 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: close to twenty three touches, we know Quadzilla he could 561 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: break those a long plays. So I really like him. 562 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: I think if you were lucky enough to either have 563 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: him money roster, get him off the waiver wire, you 564 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: put him in your starting line up right away. This 565 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: has been one of the I think fantasy industry consensus 566 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: picks for the week. Uh and a lot of us 567 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: love A J. Dillon before. That's what's not like he 568 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: just popped up on our radar. But I think everybody 569 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: has sort of loved him. I know what we say 570 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: when everybody loves a player, that it somehow goes sideways. 571 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be okay. I'm with it. 572 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: I think you gotta start a J dealer this week 573 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: Ravens at the Bears. And if we're gonna stay on 574 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: the tight end train, let's go with a deep sleeper 575 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: of Cole Commet. Uh. And I get it that the 576 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: Bears passing game has been not great. It has been 577 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: inconsistent at best, but it seems like Justin Fields is 578 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: starting to turn a corner. The last time we saw him, 579 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, it was ugly at the start, but but 580 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: there were some moments in that last game where it 581 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: looked like he was actually kind of figuring some things out. 582 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: The Ravens have been consistently bad against the tight end position. Um, 583 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: they're not the worst anymore, that's the Eagles, but the 584 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: Ravens aren't too far away. So I'd say if you're 585 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: looking for a deep sleeper, this is probably more of 586 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: a DFS play than maybe in a a more traditional 587 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: league sort of thing. But Colt Comet has a chance. Again, 588 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: all he wanted a touchdown a couple of couches that 589 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown that could happened. Justin Fields loves throwing his 590 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: way too, so I like this call a good amount. 591 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Uh, then we got the forty Niners 592 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: at the Jaguars. That one is next up. We talked 593 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: about Jimmy Garoppolo, uh and what we're doing with him. 594 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: We talked about their running back situation. Anything else we 595 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: should be talking about. Yeah, I did with the Niners. 596 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: Their offenses kind of straightforward. You know who to start, 597 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna focus on the Jaguars here, and I 598 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: know it's it's James Robinson and then not really many 599 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: others you want to start, but I think you could 600 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: start Dan Arnold this week against the forty Niners. Dan 601 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: Arnold has just been consistent as of late. He's got 602 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: at least five targets in each of the last five 603 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: games with seven or more, and four of those he's 604 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: top double digit fantasy points in every game that he's 605 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: had at least seven targets in. And he is actually 606 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: their top target since they traded for him. I know 607 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: when they made that move, none of us thought it 608 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: was a big, really fantasy impact type of move. It 609 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: has been. He is their wide receiver one right now. 610 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: Slight hiccup for him as James oh Shaughnessy is set 611 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: to return this week, but I think he is purely 612 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: depth I don't see how the Jaguars get away from 613 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: dani Arnold right now. So basically, um, between Robbie Anderson 614 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: and Dan Arnold, Sam Donald seems to be the the 615 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: there's a common a common uh yeah, I mean it's 616 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: just uh, you know, he had the Donald had rap 617 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson locked up, apparently had Dan Arnold locked up 618 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: in fantasy football jail too, So I guess good for 619 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: Dan Arnold. Anyway, we got some starts that sits for 620 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: you here. We also have some starts and sits for 621 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: you every week on the Stardom Sidham Show. Wow, interesting title. 622 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: It's Rank, it's Florio, it's Kimmy, it's money. It's a 623 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: whole bunch of fun stuff, four pm Eastern on Thursday, 624 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy at the NFL at NFL dot com 625 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: and YouTube. And I know the other day, I think 626 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Kimmy found some some fake dollar bills stuffed in one 627 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: of the chairs during an episode of Fantasy Live. So 628 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: fairly it's going well. A week or two ago, it 629 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: was like two weeks ago they we didn't actually shoot 630 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: off the money guns and people were not happy. So 631 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: we we have to continue. We will make sure to 632 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: shoot off the money guns. People want their money guns. Uh, 633 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, I guess you know. We do make an 634 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: aes central central portion of this promo. So I'm apologizing 635 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: for those of Peo who were deprived of money guns 636 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. It won't happen again. Uh, 637 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: what will happen is a break though. We're gonna come 638 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: back and we are going to dive into our pack 639 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: of Panini trading cards and uh, are there things that 640 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: should make us a little bit worried about? Christian McCaffrey 641 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: will ask that question and attempt to answer it next 642 00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's talk about the 643 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: Bills and the coltson Let's focus in on Stefon Diggs 644 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: of the big breakout game last week, his biggest game 645 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: of the season, so questions will he go over a 646 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: hundred yards for the second straight game this week? I 647 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: think this is a favorable spot for him to do so. 648 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: The Colts have struggled against receivers all year, but they're 649 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: really good against the runs, so we know the Bills 650 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: will abandon the run if the past game is going 651 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: I think it comes down to usage like that last 652 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: week thirteen targets. It was a highest season high, but 653 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: the air yards was by far a season high from him. 654 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: In this game, the air yards per target was up dramatically. 655 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: So I think it kind of comes down to, are 656 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: they gonna just be willing to be like, hey, instead 657 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: of trying to spread the ball out like we've been 658 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: doing all year, can we just admit that Stefon Diggs 659 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: is our best piece and be like, hey, you guys 660 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: can't stop him. So I think we're gonna like, we're 661 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: just gonna keep targeting him until you do. I like 662 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: his chances of doing so, But I think that's kind 663 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: of the determining factor. The Bill is gonna look to 664 00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: spread the ball out as much as they have been. 665 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. And and I've been saying 666 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: it like, I don't think that somehow Stefon Diggs has 667 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: become worse at football. It's just that the Bills have 668 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: found other options. Uh, And so I think that's been 669 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 1: the big thing. I'm gonna say, yes, I'm gonna say 670 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: he gets over a hundred yards this week. Uh. You know, 671 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: I think they found something that they sort of like, 672 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Josh Allen remembered, Hey, I enjoyed 673 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: throwing into this guy, and we're productive and successful when 674 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: we do it, So I think I think it's going 675 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: to happen potentially. Um, but you know, again, they don't 676 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: necessarily need that in order to be successful. So we'll 677 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: see if they decided to find some other options coming 678 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: up in week eleven. All right, next on our our 679 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: little cavalcade of fund here, Christian McCaffrey c m C 680 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: a guy who finds a way to score twenty plus 681 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: points even when he's not scoring touchdowns. Cam Newton is back. 682 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: Hooray for that, except for the part where Cam Newton 683 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: scores rushing touchdowns there the goal line. Should we be 684 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: worried about CMCs touchdown upside with Cam back? Yes, But 685 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: I also think it gets overblown because, uh, Cam Newton 686 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: is just the greatest rushing quarterbacks, at least touchdown wise 687 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 1: during the goal line ever, Like since he's been drafted. 688 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: He leads the NFL and rushing touchdowns and it's not 689 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: even close. No quarterback ever has nearly as many rushing 690 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns as Cam. But I went back to Christian mccaffreck's 691 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: eighteen season, the rushing touchdowns were down compared to twenty nineteen, 692 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: which is when he had his other worldly season, but 693 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: inside the five yard line that season with Cammy at 694 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: six touchdowns. The season after where he was the greatest 695 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: running back ever outside of most six lt he had 696 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: just eight. So it's only a difference of two. I think, naturally, 697 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: Cam when he we get near the goal line, we 698 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: have to worry about it. But it's not like cam 699 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: is gonna take all of the touchdowns and Christian McCaffrey 700 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: is gonna get none. So it is a concern, but 701 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: I also think it's one that gets way overblown. I mean, 702 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: I think what what helps make up for it? It's 703 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: just the volume of of one of touches. But if 704 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: targets he gets Yeah, And it was the thing that 705 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, Rank was talking about on Fantasy Live the 706 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: other day. It's like you can almost pencil in tin 707 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: catches for for Christian McCaffrey. You can get like eight 708 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: to tin catches a game, which you're starting at a 709 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: floor of like eight points just on him catching the football. 710 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: That's before you factor in any receiving yards, any rushing yards, 711 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: and you know the idea that maybe he breaks a 712 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown from twenty yards out, or on the off 713 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: chance he gets, you know, a short receiving touchdown, or 714 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: maybe even gets a short rushing touchdown. So I mean, 715 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a fluke that Christian McCaffrey consistently 716 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: can score you twenty plus points without getting in the 717 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: end zone. So any touchdowns you get are sort of 718 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: gravy on top of everything else he gives you on 719 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: a weekly basis. I think this past week was just 720 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: a reminder that when healthy, Christian McCaffrey is still the 721 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: best fantasy I mean, there's a reason that even despite 722 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: injury concerns, he went number one in a lot of 723 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: leagues because of what he can do. So back to 724 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: the game previews. We go back to the NFC West. 725 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals head up to Seattle to take on 726 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh, some potentially good news. Kyler Murray is 727 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: back and practicing in Cliff Kingsbury right now sounds optimistic 728 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: about Kyler getting back on the field. We wait to 729 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: see what this means for DeAndre Hopkins. But you know, 730 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: if Kyler's back, you're starting him. Who else potentially are 731 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: you starting in this game? I think Christian Kirk is 732 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: a solid start, and that's whether d hop plays or not. 733 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk the last couple of weeks, I know, there's 734 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: been no Kyler or no DeAndre Hopkins, but he has 735 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: been out performing Rohn del Moore and A. J. Green 736 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: and looking like at the very least, he is the 737 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: second best receiver there in Arizona. Since Week five, he 738 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: is just one game with single digit Fantasy points and 739 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: that was eight point six. So he shows us that 740 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: he brings a safe floor. We know the ceiling is 741 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: pretty high. He could give us like fifteen to twenty 742 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: Fantasy points. So I think, in what is a pretty 743 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: good matchup here, I think that you could start Christian 744 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: Kirk at the very least is like a wide receiver 745 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: three or flex options. Yeah. You know it's funny too, 746 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: because it's like I do. I I sort of put 747 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: this on myself because I said that I was I 748 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: was giving up on Christian Kirk this year, that I 749 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: was gonna let go of the rope, and now he's 750 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: doing the things that I anticipated him doing for years. 751 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: Uh so you're welcome, um, but he's gonna start this week. 752 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: I think, even even if DeAndre Hopkins is there. I 753 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: think Christian Kirk is a pretty good start against Seattle 754 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins at the Jets um. First off, Jets, what are 755 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 1: you doing? Uh you you're you're reportedly starting Joe Flacco 756 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: this week, and I just want to know why. I don't. 757 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: I get Mike White was bad last week, I understand, 758 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: but he was also playing against the really, really good defense, 759 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: so sometimes that happens. Zack Wilson, I mean, look, he's 760 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: back and practicing again. He's the quarterback in the future. Uh, 761 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is literally just a seat filler. Why you're 762 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: starting him? I don't know. I don't think anyone knows, 763 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: outside of maybe whoever made that decision for They say 764 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: it's because of his experience in Miami rushes a lot, 765 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: but so basically they're like, our offensive line is bad. 766 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: Sweep a guy who's used to getting the ball out quickly. Anyway, 767 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, as though you can start to 768 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: a tongue of ioloa because the Jets defense it is bad, 769 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: but also because to himself, before the finger injury, was 770 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: starting to play some good football. And you know, you 771 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about a guy who has the weight 772 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: of the world on his shoulders. I mean, this poor 773 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: dude can't ever stop hearing criticism no matter what he does. 774 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: Apparently he's just never gonna be good enough for the 775 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. But I do like what I'm seeing out 776 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: of two in recent weeks. It's an excellent matchup here. 777 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, especially two quarterback leagues, especially if 778 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: you're playing DFS, but even you know, depending on your 779 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: quarterback situation and what your matchups might be too, it 780 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: could be an interesting option. I personally, just outside of fantasy, 781 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm just rooting for this dude to be successful because 782 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: it just feels like nobody wants to give him a 783 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: legitimate chance. Same, I'm I'm rooting for two of pretty 784 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: hard now and I have him as a QB one 785 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: this week. He has shown us that he could take 786 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: advantage of good matchups, and that's exactly what this is alright. 787 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: Uh last one for this section, uh Texans and the Titans. 788 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: It's not great on paper, but if we're looking for 789 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: somebody baby to put in a line up, who are 790 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: we looking at? I think Deonta Foreman is a sleeper 791 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: year last week I was saying, like, take a shot 792 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: on him because the like Ap kind of look washed. 793 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: The Titans, it seems, feel the same way. This past week. 794 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: Foreman led their backfield and snaps and carries, and he 795 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: led them in yards. He also saw some usage in 796 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: the passing game, which was new for him. The Houston 797 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: Texans are a good matchup. We know that this is 798 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: a team that the Titans could quickly establish lead in 799 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: and then look to run. It's surprising in the last 800 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: two weeks they've actually ran a little bit more than 801 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: they did when they have Derrick Henry, showing that when 802 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: they have a lead, they're not gonna just continue to 803 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: throw the ball. And it's kind of a revenge game. 804 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: And what is a good matchup against the Texans for Foreman? 805 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: So I think this could be a game where maybe 806 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: he gets an even larger share of the work. And 807 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: if that's the case, I think then he's a pretty 808 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: nice sleeper this week. I'm expecting at some point in 809 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: the very near future that the text the Titans rather 810 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: start to sort of de emphasize Adrian Peterson just because 811 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: he just hasn't been effective. He doesn't look man age 812 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: cat says, catches up just about everybody, right. He just 813 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: looks like a guy who is older at the end 814 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 1: of his career. Uh, and so maybe we start to 815 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: see more Foreman in that offense. For for Tennessee, I 816 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: got a couple more game previews to get through. The 817 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: Lions at the Browns doesn't sound all about appealing, but 818 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's a game and people will watch it 819 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: and it will be played. I will say you should 820 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: start Deernest Johnson. Uh, in part because the status of 821 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is still somewhat up in the air right now. 822 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: But even if Chubb plays, I think I think Johnson 823 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: is going to have a role in this offense. That 824 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: guy has just been too effective when he gets opportunities 825 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: to see him completely go away right now. Uh. And 826 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: the Lions, yeah, they're they're still not good. They still 827 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: don't have a win. H They're not gonna go in 828 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: six t r O and seventeen this year. I should say, 829 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: so good for them, hooray. But deones Johnson again, like 830 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: his spots starts, he's been amazing in both of those. 831 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: But I think, even uh with Nick Chubb there, I 832 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: still see him having a pretty good game, especially us 833 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: hearing the news that Baker Mayfield admits that he's kind 834 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: of beat up right now, so maybe maybe they'll let 835 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: him throw the ball thirty times. I'm just saying, this 836 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: could be a game where they run like forty plus times. 837 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: Just we know that they could run all over Detroit 838 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,919 Speaker 1: and Baker, I mean, every game, Baker basically like has 839 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: to carry himself off the field with a new body 840 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: part being heard. So this could be a game for 841 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: him to not take a beating for a change. They 842 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: should make one of those insurance commercials with him where 843 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: he's at home. And at home is him like being 844 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: in the cold tub or something like that. It's just 845 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: like hanging out in the trainer's room, uh, getting treatment, 846 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: because that's been that kind of year for him. Last one, 847 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: it's the Sunday night football game. It is these Steelers 848 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: and the Chargers are our neighbors next door. They're gonna 849 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: be kind of getting after it on Sunday nights. What 850 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: are we doing fantasy wise for this one? I'm saying 851 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: you could start justin Herbert and I know a couple 852 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: of weeks ago that might have sounded obvious, but in 853 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: three of the last four games he has scored fewer 854 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: than fourteen fantasy points and people are starting to get 855 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: a little concerned. Plus, the Steelers defense, I know, looks 856 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: like they're trending in the right direction because earlier in 857 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: the year they were struggling against quarterbacks and then the 858 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: last six weeks or so it's gotten better. But when 859 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: you take a look at who they have faced, Teddy Bridgewater, 860 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: Genal Smith, Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields, who had his best 861 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: passing game of his career against them, and Jared Golf 862 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: that is a big reason why. So Herbert is more 863 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: like the quarterbacks that we're lighting up the Steelers in 864 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: the first month than he is these other quarterbacks and 865 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: second best schedule moving forward amongst fantasy quarterbacks. So I 866 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: think this is a buying opportunity. With Herbert playing a 867 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: little bit down as of late, I think you start him, 868 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: and I'm recommending trading for him as well right now. 869 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: The other thing about this matchup too, uh t J 870 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: Watt very well may not play this week's dealing with 871 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: some injuries, so that that takes a lot of potential 872 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: pressure off from that Steelers pass rush for for Justin Herbert. 873 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: All Right, as we always do on Wednesday, close out 874 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: the show with some of our sleeper picks for the week. 875 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: Who is your first one? Mac Jones. I like the 876 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: quarterback on Thursday night. Uh. I'm streaming him in a 877 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: few leagues myself where I've been just you know, streaming 878 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: quarterbacks each week. Mac Jones has been playing well. At 879 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: least the last week he he threw for three touchdowns 880 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: had almost twenty fantasy points. He has shown us that 881 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: he could take advantage of good matchups like his other 882 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago when he played the Jets, 883 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: he went off for over twenty two fantasy points. So 884 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: the Falcons give up the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks, 885 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: and we know the Patriots are gonna game plan against 886 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: the Falcons weaknesses, which the secondary is a big one 887 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: right now. So I like mac Jones. I think he's 888 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. I like him as a 889 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: streaming option in Week eleven. Yeah, I like it as 890 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: well too. Uh. I think the thing about mac Jones it's, uh, 891 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: it's maybe a lower ceiling, but it's a pretty high floor. 892 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's that kind of keeps He was 893 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: a safe option, especially if you're looking to stream the 894 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: quarterback position. I have Kenyan Drake as a sleeper, and 895 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: last week was not good against the Chiefs. I mean 896 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: that game just got away from the Raiders pretty quickly. 897 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: But before that, Drake was starting to become more of 898 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: a factor in the offense and he's looking kind of 899 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: like the guy we thought he would be win the 900 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: Raiders first signed him in the off season. The first 901 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: part of the season, he really was kind of persona 902 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: on Garratta. Since they've made the switch to Greg Olsen 903 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: as the play caller, we have seen more opportunity for 904 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. We have seen him kind of get some 905 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: more more touches, some more targets in this offense. So 906 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: I think this is a very good matchup against a 907 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: Bengals defense that has given up a ton of receiving 908 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,399 Speaker 1: yards to the running back position. So I think Drake 909 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: has a really good opportunity here this week. Yeah. I 910 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: like Drake as well. And Marcus this next sleeper. He 911 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: this is a deep sleeper, like I also wrote about 912 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: him in my Sleepers. Adam Troutman of the New Orleans 913 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: Saints like he has been getting more volume as of late. 914 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: He has six or more targets in three straight games. 915 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: He has the second most targets on the year from 916 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon and then he's got at least eight Fantasy 917 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: points and two straight plus. It is the best possible 918 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: matchup for a tight end. As the Eagles give up 919 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: the most fantasy points, They're up there in yards and 920 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns and catches allowed to tight ends towards the top 921 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: of the list. So I think in a good matchup 922 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: with a quarter tight end that has been getting safe 923 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: volume as of late. This is a little bit of 924 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: a deeper sleeper here, but who doesn't need tight end sleepers? 925 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean the position is grows, so if you're looking 926 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: for one in a little bit of a deeper league 927 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: or something, Troutman is a name I think for you. 928 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: I I liked him before the season as a deep sleeper. 929 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: I like him this week as a deep sleeper. I'm 930 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: gonna close this out with Miles Gaskon, I know jokingly. 931 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: The whole thing about Miles Gaskin has been that he 932 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: is good in odd numbered weeks. Uh, this is week eleven, 933 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: so it stands the reason and he's going to be 934 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: good right. The other part of it is just the 935 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: matchup against the Jets. You have been pretty abysmal all 936 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: the way around. I mean I talked about using to 937 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: as a potential starting quarterback this week. Um, it's been 938 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: sort of hard to figure the situation when Miami is 939 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: going to use Gasking, But this seems like a week 940 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: where he gets a whole lot of usage, especially if 941 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, uh you know, the way they've been playing 942 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: defensively the last couple of weeks. It feels like they 943 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: can keep the Jets from scoring, and if they can 944 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: put some points on board, this could be a game where, 945 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: especially in the second half, we see a lot of 946 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: Miles Gasking usage. He's been frustrating at times, uh in 947 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 1: in this season, but this seems like a week where 948 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: it seems like it's worthwhile to put him in the lineup. 949 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: I can't figure out the Dolphins, man, I can't either. 950 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: The only thing you see their consistent touches for guests, 951 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: and like, I have him as my RB sixteen as 952 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,240 Speaker 1: of now, and that might even be going up depending 953 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: on how some of these injuries and stuff shake out. 954 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: But I agree with you, Marcus, I love I love 955 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: Gasking this week, So we'll see how this turns out. 956 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: If you want more sleepers, you can check out my 957 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,760 Speaker 1: weekly column.
