1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Wow. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: Wow, Hey everybody, it's Thursday, December seventh, twenty twenty three. 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and 4 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: your man, MG Marcus Grant with my. 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: Guy Michael f. Florio. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: Today we are previewing the rest of the week fourteen 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: slate plus. We're giving you our fantasy heroes. But let's 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: get started by serving up some hot takes. We're going 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: to get a little bit spicy here in company with 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: some hot takes. What is getting you a little bit 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: spiced up this week? 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: I think D. D. 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 4: Lamb, Yes, the player who you could spell out his 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 4: whole name in two emojis. I think that he drops 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 4: his second forty burger of the year against Marcus Mariota 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 4: and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles on the year have 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 4: allowed the top They're top three in yards allowed to 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 4: wide receivers and yards allowed in the middle portion of 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: the field and on deep balls. Ceedee Lamb is a 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 4: wide receiver who excels on the deep ball and leads 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 4: the Cowboys and targets over the middle of the field. 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 4: So just a recipe for success, and I think this 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: is going to be a very, very high scoring game. 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb. 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 4: It feels like he goes over one hundred weekly, probably 26 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 4: even more than. 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: That this week. A yeah, Ceedee Lamb. Looks like he's 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: in a great spot. 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: Last time the Cowboys and Eagles played, he went for 30 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: a buck ninety one in that game. For me, I'm 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: gonna go with another high scoring wide receiver, Tyreek Hill. 32 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: I think he drops thirty points for the third time 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: in the last four weeks. Dude's been on fire all 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: season long. Still talking about him being on pace for 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: over two thousand receiving yards. You know how good Tyreek 36 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: Hill has been. He ran the wrong route and still 37 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: ended up catching a long touchdown. He came out after 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: the game and tweeted that, oh, I ran the wrong 39 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: route two or three in the right spot. I had 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: to come back and adjust to it and make the 41 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: play was able to score a touchdown. That's how good 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: he has been. Going against a Titan secondary that we 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: have been targeting all season long, and it's a Dolphins 44 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: pass offense. It pretty much goes to two guys. It 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: is Tyreek Hill, a little bit of Jayalen Waddle, and 46 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: then you know, whatever crumbs are left over, they sprinkle 47 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: around to the rest of the pass catching corps there. 48 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: So I think Tyreek Hill, in the midst of what's 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: been an amazing season, potentially an MVP season, continues to 50 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: do MVP Tyreek Hill type things. In Week fourteen. 51 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: Torop thirty last. 52 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: Week and did not. 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 4: I don't think he did anything in the second half. 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how good he is. 55 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: That's how good he is. That's how good he has 56 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: been this year. Again, he leaves Patrick Mahomes and he 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: gets better. Wild, absolutely wild. 58 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: Same. 59 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: Diving into the late Sunday games in Week fourteen, we'll 60 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: start with the Vikings at the Raiders. 61 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 3: We did get word. 62 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: That Josh Dobbs is going to be the starting quarterback 63 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: this week. The even better news for Minnesota, Justin Jefferson 64 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: is going to be back after missing a number of 65 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: weeks with injury. We're starting Justin Jefferson. I don't think 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: we really have to talk about that, but can we 67 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: go back to Josh Dobbs because the last time we 68 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: saw him it was not great against the Chicago Bears. 69 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, he got polled in that game, and I know 70 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 4: there was a lot of speculation if he was gonna 71 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 4: get benched coming out of the buy or not. He 72 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 4: is the starter, and I think that he is the 73 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 4: top streaming option this week outside of Russell Wilson is 74 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 4: available in your league because the other streaming options Baker, Mayfield, 75 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: Garner Minshew. Yeah, they're a little bit safer because some 76 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: people are concerned if Dobbs struggles, could he get pulled. 77 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: But he runs the ball he throw. 78 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: Routinely runs for over forty yards. He is a rushing 79 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: touchdown in five of his last six games, and then 80 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: he's going to be throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson, 81 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 4: Jordan Addison, and TJ. Howkinson against the Raiders who have 82 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: been playing better but are not a scary defense like 83 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: he could easily give you twenty five. I don't think 84 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: Minshew or Baker can do that. So if I'm streaming 85 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: a quarterback this week, I want the paston one. 86 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'd stick with him this week, And I think 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: having the week off, giving that staff time to sort 88 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: of look at what Dobb's strengths and weaknesses are and 89 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: trying to build a game plan around that is going 90 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: to be key. 91 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: Then, as you mentioned, the pass catchers around. 92 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: Him give him a benefit because this is going to 93 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: be the best overall arsenal of weapons he's had in 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: his career as a journeyman. So I still sort of 95 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: believe in Joshua Dobbs this week. Like you said, if 96 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: you need a streamer, there's some guys out there. I 97 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: like you mentioned Russell Wilson as a potential streaming option, 98 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: but Dobb's very much in play this week against the Raiders. 99 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: Seahawks are the forty nine ers. 100 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: We saw this game a couple of weeks ago on 101 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Knights and the Niners dominated in that one. Do 102 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: we go back to some of our Seahawks, say you 103 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: Metcalf Lockett, Gino Smith, do we give them another shot 104 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: against that Niners defense? 105 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 4: I would sit Geno Smith. I know he played really 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: well last week. That looks like a blip on the 107 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: out of nowhere. 108 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. 109 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 4: Like if you look at his game log, he's been 110 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: under fourteen Fantasy points almost every single game outside of 111 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: last week. Tyler Lockett is a sit for me. Jsen. 112 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: I think is only in play if you're desperate. DK 113 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: you're gonna I'm not gonna tell you to sit them, 114 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 4: but the floor is low, and I think that's something 115 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: that DK managers need to come to grips with the ceiling. 116 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 4: The last month has been higher though, so you could 117 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 4: still play him. And I think whoever their lead running 118 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 4: back is, it could be Kenneth Walker, it could be 119 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: Zach Charbonnay, or it might be DJ Dallas. I think 120 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: they're in play potentially just because running back is pretty 121 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 4: gross this week. But besides that, I'm trying to avoid 122 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 4: my Seahawks. 123 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I think you can get away 124 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: from Geno Smith. I think that's very easy to do. 125 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Maybe because I'm a Tyler Lockett standard, it has hurt 126 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: my heart to say that he's not been great this year. 127 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 2: That's one Maybe I try to give that one a shot. 128 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: Even DK, maybe I try to give him a shot. 129 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: But I understand that there's a lot of risk involved 130 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: in starting those guys this week. The Niners pretty much 131 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: completely shut down that offense a couple of weeks ago 132 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: when they played and even though as we mentioned, they 133 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: had that big game against Dallas, that just it felt 134 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: more like an anomaly than anything. So I think if 135 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: you're playing any of your Seahawks, it really is sort 136 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: of taking a big swing, hoping for the ceiling, but 137 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: understanding that the floor potentially is very low, and you're 138 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: gonna have to get some help from somewhere else on 139 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: your roster. So a lot of the deals with roster construction, 140 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: with what you need and whether or not you can 141 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: withstand the volatility that comes with starting any Seahawks against 142 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers defense in Week fourteen, Bill's at 143 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. We know the stud guys you're playing, right, 144 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, Maybe Patrick Mahomes, I guess I 145 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 2: mean or his Ning. Let's say you have Patrick Mahomes, 146 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: Let's say you have Jordan Love. Which one of those guys. 147 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: Are you playing? 148 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: I have gotten this question. 149 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: I've heard this question so many times. 150 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: So many times this week. I've gotten him or Brock 151 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: Purdy a few times. No one, not him or Russ yet. 152 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: But that is I would go Mahomes over Russ. The 153 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 4: other two I truly don't know. The Only thing is 154 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: I think I think this could be a high scoring 155 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 4: game where the Chiefs offense is pushed because I think 156 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 4: the Bills will put up points. No surprise here, They're 157 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 4: gonna put up some points, so they're gonna have to 158 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: throw the ball in everything. But it's Mahomes is not 159 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 4: a clear cut, like set it and forget it type 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 4: of quarterback anymore. That being said, I don't know if 161 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 4: I have the you know what to sit him. 162 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: I'm getting there. 163 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: I'm getting to that point where and like, I'm fortunate 164 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: that I don't have that decision to make, just because 165 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: I never really got to get to Mahomes in a 166 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: lot of drafts because he was already off the board. 167 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: But in my mind, I really do think I would 168 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: sit Patrick Mahomes for Jordan Love. This week, the Packers, 169 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: their offense really is trending the right direction. The Chiefs 170 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: are sort of going the opposite direction. And you look 171 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: at the numbers, they are very similar between Mahomes and 172 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: Love to this point in the season. One is going up, 173 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: one is going down, and sometimes you have to make 174 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: bold moves in this situation if you're gonna make a play. 175 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: Aleck and I think there's something to say. You know, 176 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: there's an ego boost, right if you can come back 177 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: to your league mate to say I sat Patrick Mahomes 178 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: and I made the playoffs because of it. Jordan Love 179 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: got me to the playoffs over Patrick Mahomes. I think 180 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: there's a little ego thing there. 181 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: The risk is you say, Patrick Mahomes, he puts a 182 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 4: thirty league is like you didn't make the playoffs because 183 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: he said, but here's it since week eight, I'm rounding 184 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 4: up to six, sixteen, seventeen, twenty one, thirteen. Like that's 185 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 4: not good production. 186 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: No, I mean he has been barely a top twenty 187 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: quarterback Mahomes has been over the last month or six 188 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: weeks or so. 189 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: Uh, it's really a it's really a scary situation. 190 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: You drafted this guy thinking he was going to be 191 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: a set and forget and it just has not been 192 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: the case this year. Time to take a quick break, 193 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:54,119 Speaker 2: Hang on, we'll be right back. Broncos at the Chargers. 194 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: It's been a rough go for Austin Eckler this year, 195 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: especially after he comes back from the injury. The Broncos, 196 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: even with their off or their defense getting better, still 197 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: giving up a lot of fantasy points, a lot of 198 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: yards to running backs. Does he get right here? And 199 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: you we expect bigger things out of Justin Herbert this week. 200 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: I'm hopeful that this is a get right spot for 201 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: Austin Eckler. I said on Monday Show that I have 202 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 4: questions if he's fully healthy if that ankle is still 203 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 4: hampering him. But the volume in the matchup is far 204 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: like the Broncos. They're in the top five, and fantasy 205 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: points and rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, receiving touchdowns all 206 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: allowed to running backs. And we know Eckler is going 207 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 4: to get double digit carries. He's probably gonna get some 208 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: like six seven targets, so I think you have to 209 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 4: start him. But the floor is certainly lower than what 210 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: it has been in the past. Justin Herbert, I think 211 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: you could potentially get like I would sit Herbert for Perdy, 212 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 4: I would sit Herbert for Love, I would sit Herbert 213 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 4: for Russell Wilson in this game. Potentially, the Broncos have 214 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: not allowed eighteen fantasy points to a quarterback. I believe 215 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 4: it since Week five. I have it in the starting 216 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: sit of article. But in that span they've played Mahomes twice, 217 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 4: Allen once, they've played CJ. Stroud. The only quarterback of 218 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 4: multiple passing touchdowns is Jordan Love. So with his limited 219 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 4: playmakers available, I think you could get away potentially from 220 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 4: the boom er buss justin Herbert. 221 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean you look at that Broncos defense 222 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 2: they gave up, you know, obviously the seventy point game 223 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: to the Miami Dolphins. The week after that, they got 224 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 2: torched by Justin Fields and the Bears. Since then, they 225 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: really have clamped down on quarterback. So I think there's 226 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: reason to be concerned about Justin Herbert. Although I will 227 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: say this, if his guys catch the football for him, 228 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: and this is not just a Quinton Johnston problem and 229 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: he's had drops all over the place, if his players 230 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: catch the football for him, I think the outlook for 231 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: him looks a lot different. I think we're talking differently 232 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 2: about Justin Herbert. 233 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 4: In that game, though. If certain is able to lock 234 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 4: down Keenan Allen, where do they go? 235 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly where do they go? That's the issue. 236 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: Sunda Night Football, which on paper at least is the 237 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: best game of the week. 238 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 3: It's the Eagles at the Cowboys. 239 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: Look a chance for the Cowboys to get into a 240 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: two way tie for first place in the NFC East, 241 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: the one seed in the NFC very much still in 242 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: play for a lot of teams. Both teams very good teams, 243 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: the Cowboys very good defensively, the Eagles very good against 244 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: the run defensively. Is there anyone you're not starting in 245 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: this one. 246 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: The defenses, I have the Cowboys defense as they sit 247 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 4: this week. The Cowboys are bullies, Like they go off 248 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: against the bad teams that they played defensively. I'm talking, 249 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 4: but the four good offenses they've played this year they 250 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 4: have scored less than five Fantasy points against. But for 251 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 4: an offensive thing, both quarterbacks are must starts. I know 252 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 4: it's a tough matchup for each running back, but given 253 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 4: the state of the running back position and how much 254 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 4: volume they each get, I don't see how Like I 255 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: considered putting both of them as sits this week, and 256 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: I was like, there's not a lot of teams that 257 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 4: have the luxury of being able to sit either of 258 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 4: those two. And the wide like not only are all 259 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: the wide receivers in play, like Lamb brown Smith. Obviously, 260 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: I am very excited for Brandon Cooks in this one, 261 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: who has been putting up numbers. 262 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: As I'm super excited about Brandon Cook's peep behind the curtain. 263 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: I almost put him in this week's sleeper column, and 264 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: then I went back and looked at his numbers, and 265 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, I think he's evolved past sleeper at this point. 266 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: Because he's been playing well for the last month. But 267 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: I do think he's got a big opportunity here. If 268 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: there's one guy I'm worried about, it's DeAndre Swift, just 269 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: because the Eagles seemed to forget about him for long stretches. 270 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: Last week. 271 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: They tried to run against the forty nine ers and 272 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: that just didn't work, and then they started to fall 273 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: behind by a couple of scores and that sort of 274 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: took that off the table. So DeAndre Swift is the 275 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: one guy who worries me. But because they can start 276 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: feeding him in any moment and he can sort of 277 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: pop a couple of big plays, it's hard for me 278 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: to kind of get away from him. And as you mentioned, 279 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 2: the running back situation across fantasy is sort of bleak. 280 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: But I do have real concerns about him in my lineup. 281 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: Two Monday night games, the first one the Titans at 282 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Apparently Derek Henry's nighting concussion protocol, that is 283 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: what Mike Rabel said on Monday morning. So do we 284 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: still maybe Taj Spears and what do we do with 285 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: Nuke Hopkins Spears. 286 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 4: Hopefully we have information on Henry before Monday, because if 287 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: Henry plays, Spears becomes the floor is so low that 288 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 4: he becomes a very risky start, and it would depend 289 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 4: on your other options there. De hop he is what 290 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: he is at this point, like he's not gonna get 291 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of volume each week. Starting him, you're 292 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 4: hoping for a long catch or a long touchdown something 293 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 4: like that because of the lack of volume. And you 294 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: just look at what he's done on a weekly basis 295 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 4: and it's kind of who he has been now. First 296 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 4: game he went off thirty five points, then eleven and 297 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: six and sixteen, then eight and nineteen. He's a boomer 298 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 4: bust option, but one that you probably should start. 299 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean again, because the ceiling potentially is high 300 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: for Nuke Hopkins, I think you are starting him. I 301 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: think the argument in favor of Taija Spears is game script, right. 302 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: I mean, he's doing a lot of work in the 303 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: passing game, and I think that maybe gives him an 304 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: oportunity because we have seen when the game script goes 305 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 2: negative that Derek Henry Sorti gets xed out of the offense, 306 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: doesn't get nearly as many carries. But Tayjay Spears has 307 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: been somewhat gamescript proof in Tennessee. The problem is the 308 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 2: Titans just don't score a ton of points, and I 309 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: think it's hard for them to stay in this game 310 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: if the Dolphins do what the Dolphins do. So Spears 311 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: is a streaming, a flex option in really deep leagues 312 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: at NUKE is kind of a wide receiver three or 313 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: flex option in a lot of leagues. But understand the 314 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: ceiling is not very high for him at all. Second 315 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: mond of the night game, we got the Packers and 316 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: the Giants. We keep saying Jordan Love or Patrick Mahomes, 317 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: go Tommy DeVito with this one. 318 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: Are we starting Jordan Love? 319 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: But I guess more importantly, with Christian Watson likely out, 320 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: which Packers pass catchers are we starting? 321 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 4: I think Jordan Love is one hundred percent of start 322 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 4: this week, and it's one that you could feel confidence 323 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 4: like he looks forget all the numbers and he's top 324 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: five and basically every number over the last month, but 325 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 4: he looks the part and he was slinging on Sunday 326 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 4: Night football. I think with Watson banged up, both Reid 327 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 4: and Dobbs are in play. I prefer Reid because I 328 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 4: think he's a little bit safer. He's gonna get used 329 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 4: as a receiver and in the running game, and he's 330 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 4: gonna get used on some shorter targets which are easier 331 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 4: to convert. But Dobbs is a big favorite of them 332 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: downfield and in the red zone. So if Watson is 333 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: banged up against the Giants defense, that does not scare me. 334 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: I think you could start both of those receivers. 335 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: I think you can too. 336 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: I've been big on the Jayden Reid train, though, and 337 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with that. I think he's sort of 338 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: the guy that I would choose from that whole group there, 339 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: because they're able to get him the ball through the air, 340 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: and they are dialing up more rushing opportunities for him, 341 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: not a lot, but enough that he's interesting and he's 342 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: very much in play this week. 343 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: So I like Jayden Reid the most out of that group. 344 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: But I'm with you. 345 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: I think you're starting Jordan Love in a lot of situations. 346 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: There's a hand but look, you're not starting Jordan Love 347 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: over Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, brock Purdy and somebody like that. 348 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of guys that I would start 349 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: Jordan Love ahead of this, Holmes, Patrick, Justin Herbert for sure. 350 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: For me, there you go, so love very much in play. 351 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: We love love. That's how he wins. 352 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: That's how we feel here on this show. It's time 353 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: to see who will deliver, presented by Uber Eats, the 354 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: guys who are gonna kpe up and lead you to victory. 355 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: Who is your fantasy iron Man this week? 356 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: Every single week it is If a Devon Chan plays, 357 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: he is going to give you twenty plus Fantasy points. 358 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 4: That's what it feels like. At least in his four 359 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: full games, his last four full games, he is averaging 360 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 4: thirty one Fantasy points per game, with twenty one or 361 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 4: more in all of them. And in those games he's 362 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: played more snaps, has more carries, and his split passing 363 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 4: work down the middle with Raheem Moster and I know 364 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: people online were like, oh it comes when they had 365 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 4: a two score lead. Yeah, they're gonna have a two 366 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: score lead against the Tennessee Titans. I guarantee it, They're 367 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 4: going to run wild. You could start both Devon h 368 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 4: and Raheem Moster with the utmost confidence moving forward. 369 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: I'm going with Alvin Kamara coming up this week against 370 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers, and even with Jamis Winston likely to start, 371 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: Kamara has a great opportunity against a terrible run defense. 372 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't get the same number of targets as 373 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: he would with Derek Carr, but I think he's gonna 374 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: get plenty of touches, and I think that makes him 375 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 2: worth a start. I think he's got a big day 376 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: coming for the New Orleans Saints. 377 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: So there you go. 378 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: That was Who Will Deliver, presented by Uber Eats, where 379 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 2: you can get almost almost anything, the official on demand 380 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: delivery partner of the NFL.
