1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: You hear that beat, you know it's time for the

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Stardom Cinnam Show. Welcome everybody to week three. My name

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: is Marcus Grant, his name is Michael f. Floyo, and

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: we are here to talk about Michael lef florio Stardom

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: Sind Them column. You can find that at NFL dot

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: com slash start sit. I know that you put that

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: out every single week and there's no hate or discussion

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: at all about it. If people just accept that as gospel.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the comments are always super friendly.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: I look forward to reading them each week.

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's just sort of nice, relaxing reading. Sit down

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: on the couch and let's see what the Internet has

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: to say about things, because the Internet is always complimentary

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: all the time. We will have the top starts and

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: sits of week three. We'll have some of the biggest questions,

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: and of course we're gonna open up development ropes and

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: see who gets at the club dub who's gonna score

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: you twenty five or more Fantasy points this week? But

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: let's get started with the quarterback position. Taking a look

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: at these starts and sits for week three.

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: You got Tua tongue of I LOOA against the Broncos.

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins is a great start this week.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: Jared Goff as well, especially at home, and then some

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: sits little spicy with Trevor Lawrence there. I'm not ready

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: to start Jordan Love just yet. And Matthew Stafford. I like,

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: only if you're kind of handcuffing into Joe Burrow right now.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Otherwise I think you.

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Get a weak Maybe I'm crazy, like I'm big on

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford this week. He's in my sleeper's column. I

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: think he has a really good week. Maybe I'm just

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: like a little bit drunk off of what I saw

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: from the Rams offense the first two weeks of the season.

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Kirk Cousins because through two weeks

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: he is your QB number one, which I don't think

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: anybody saw that one coming. And this potentially could be

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: a score fest against the Los Angeles Chargers.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly why I want as many Vikings and

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Chargers as I could get in my starting lineup this week.

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins right now is top two in the NFL

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: in passing yards and passing touchdowns. The Chargers have allowed

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: the most passing yards through two weeks. Remember what Tua

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: and Tyreek Hill and them did week one. I think

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: we could get something similar like that from the Vikings

45
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: this week. This is a must win game on both

46
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: sides with two really good offenses and not so great defenses.

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: The Chargers are the first team in NFL history to

48
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: have fifty plus points but yet b zero to two. Wow,

49
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: this was gonna be wild, though, should be a whole

50
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun. In theory, somebody has to win, but

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, I could end in a tie. I'm rooting

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: for that. That would be fun. I mean not for

53
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Vikings or Chargers fans, but for me in my own

54
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: personal enjoyment. That would be a lot of fun. You mentioned,

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Spicy that you've got Trevor Lawrence as a sit going

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: against that Houston Texans defense, which, look, they're not terrible.

57
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: They're not great, but they're not terrible either.

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: No, and they you can run all over the Houston Texans,

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: which means if they don't always give up a whole

60
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: bunch of passing volumes. So far this season, they've allowed

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: just one passing touchdown, and since the start of last season.

62
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: It is sixteen.

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: They actually have more interceptions in that span than passing

64
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: touchdowns allowed, and Trevor Lawrence he got them twice last year,

65
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: did not throw a touchdown in either gave me, threw

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: three interceptions, and he averaged just two one hundred and

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: nineteen passing yards. I know it's a little bold. I'm

68
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: not telling you to sit him for anyone, but it's

69
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: possible you paired him with a Jared Goff or a

70
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. I would go that way. I even think

71
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is appealing over him this week.

72
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: That's right. All the things you said are why I

73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: really love Travis Etn this week, because I don't know

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: that they need to lean on Trevor Lawrence in the

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: passing game a whole lot. But I do think they're

76
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: going to give a lot of touches to Travis Etn.

77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the wide receiver list. Florio

78
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: starts and sits for the pass catchers. Who do you

79
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: like and who do you not like?

80
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: Puka Nakua must start option at this point. I think

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Mike Williams is as well Jordan Addison. You might notice

82
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: a trend from that game. Nico Collins has been awesome,

83
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: and so Zay Flowers is getting more work than I

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: think people might realize some CITs. It pains me to say,

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: but Garrett Wilson, I think you get away from Marquise

86
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Brown against the Cowboys. I had Jsen as a start

87
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: last week. He did not come through until we see it.

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: I think you gotta sit him and then Courtland Sutton

89
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: as well as they sit for me.

90
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Got Nico Collins on that list. And this is a

91
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: guy that we thought could be the wide receiver one

92
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: in Houston. Right now he is the wide receiver seven

93
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: overall eighty plus yards in both games. Looking for another

94
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: big outing against Jacksonville this week.

95
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not like like you said, eighty yards

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: or more in each game. It's not a one week thing.

97
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Through two weeks right now, he's averaging ten targets, one

98
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen yards and just under twenty one Fantasy

99
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: points per game. And the thing is when the Texans

100
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: fall behind, they abandoned the run. Altogether. They are one

101
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: of two teams with over ninety pass attempts and they're

102
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: all funneled to their wide receivers. Nico Collins with someone

103
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: I liked as a sleeper coming into the year. He's

104
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: now someone that I am starting everywhere that I have.

105
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Him him Tank Dell too in other name, I remember

106
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: because he's getting a lot of work in what again

107
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: should be a pass happy offense for the Houston Texans.

108
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, we were really hoping that he was quarterback proof.

109
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: That might not be the case. Zach Wilson might be

110
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: the Garrett Wilson stopper, especially this week against Bill Belichick.

111
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: It was kind of like DeAndre Hopkins when he had

112
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: to play with Brock Osma was like, he's quarterback proof

113
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: with anyone but this guy, and that is Garrett Wilson.

114
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: And I know in Week one he came through, but

115
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: he needed a catch of the Year candidate for a touchdown.

116
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 2: Week two, he came through with a sixty eight yard touchdown,

117
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 2: but besides that, he called one of his seven targets

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: for fifteen yards. In Zach Wilson's career against the Patriots

119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: three full games, He's thrown two touchdowns, seven interceptions, and

120
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: the Patriots have about just two touchdowns to wide receivers,

121
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: which is extremely impressive when you factor in they've played

122
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: Miami and the Eagles, so I don't think Garrett Wilson

123
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: scores a touchdown, and if so, I think you want

124
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: to get him out of your lineup.

125
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Adam Rank once called brock Oswiler a shut down quarterback,

126
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like we can sort of say the

127
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: same thing about Zach Wilson at this point. Coming up next,

128
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some tight ends because they are certainly

129
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: a mood. Also going to have our own vibe check

130
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: tell you how we are feeling about some of the

131
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: big fantasy questions that you have this week. Stick around

132
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: for more of the Stardham Sittum Show starts at tight

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: ends for week three.

134
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: Florio Go Sam Laporta is becoming very quickly a person

135
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: you want to start each week. Kyle Pitts, I'm giving

136
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: you another chance. Dallas Goddard is too good to get

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: away from despite the slow start, and I like the

138
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: matchup for Hayden Hurst even if Andy Dalton will with

139
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton starting some six, Dalton Schultz, Gerald Everett even

140
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: in that score fest Chega Konkuo and unfortunately Tyler Higbee,

141
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: he just has not.

142
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: Got a whole lot of volume. Yeah, for all the

143
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: hype about Puka, Nakua to to that well, Kyron Williams

144
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: or Kieran Williams. I guess is we're being told Tyler

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: Higbee has sort of been the big loser in this

146
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: for the Rams offense, at least for fantasy purposes. That is.

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Sam Laporta though, because I know you

148
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: and I liked him at the start of the season.

149
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: We liked him as a late round draft pick. At

150
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: this point, he's sort of approaching must start territory.

151
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the tight end eight in Week one,

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: followed it up with the being the heighten eight in

153
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Week two, and on this season. Right now, he is

154
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 2: the fourth highest scoring tight end entering Week three. He's

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: been playing consistently over eighty percent of the snaps, getting

156
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: consistent volume. But I think we could see him used

157
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: even more as he just becomes more comfortable in this

158
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 2: line's offense and just in the NFL as a whole.

159
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: He's just getting plenty of targets. He's showing he can

160
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: make plays, and again it helps that they're not asking

161
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: him to block. Just run routes, get open, catch the football.

162
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: That's all we want you to do. I think I

163
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: expect there to be a lot of throwing in that

164
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: game too. All Right, this is the part of the

165
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: show where we talk about Kyle Pitts. Fantasy Twitter has

166
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: sort of united. This is the last stand. It's now

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: or never for Kyle Pitts.

168
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I feel like I'm in like three hundred

169
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: or something like that. This is this is it the

170
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: final chance for Kyle Pitts because it's all about the matchup.

171
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: It's not even about Kyle Pitts at this point. The

172
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: Lions so far have allowed the most yards two tight ends,

173
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: and they're allowing eighteen Fantasy points per game to position.

174
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: And you might be like, Okay, who have they played?

175
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: They played the Chiefs without Travis Kelce and then the

176
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. Kyle Pitts is easily the best tight end

177
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: that they are going to have faced so far through

178
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Week three. I don't trust Arthur Smith to do the

179
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: right thing, but in a game where I'm expecting they're

180
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: gonna have to put up points to keep up with

181
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: golf in the Lions offense, like just take advantage of

182
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: the matchup and throw the ball to Kyle Pitts. But

183
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm very fearful that come Monday, we're gonna be like, Wow,

184
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: John Smith one hundred yards this week.

185
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Huh. Look, there's a reason that on NFL Fantasy Live

186
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: I called Mac Collins a sleeper because that's sort of

187
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: how it's gone. They are throwing the ball occasionally, they're

188
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: just not throwing it to Kyle Pitts. But this is it.

189
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: We have all united as one across the fantasy social

190
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: media landscape. We are holding hands and lighting candles and

191
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: singing songs of hope for Kyle Pitts. We're gonna we're

192
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: gonna start like a GoFundMe or something for targets. If

193
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: this doesn't work out, I him off of the Falcons.

194
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Just what I want, Help me, help you sort of thing.

195
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett friend of the program since he's the best

196
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: basketball player on the Chargers, but you say he shouldn't

197
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: be playing in your fantasy lineup this week.

198
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: Gerald Everett is an awesome dude, and he is a

199
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: good football player. The only issue is he's been splitting

200
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: routes and targets with Donald Parham. Last week, Everett only

201
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: ran fifteen routes. On the year, he is just six targets.

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: That's three targets per game. I really like Everett for

203
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: a real life standpoint, and I think if you start him,

204
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: you're hoping for a long catch or a touchdown. The

205
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: volume just hasn't been going his way enough right now

206
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: to warrant starting in fantasy.

207
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: It's been hard. I mean a lot of places to

208
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: go with the football, Gerald Everett not getting that opportunity,

209
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: and Donald Parham seeing a lot more snaps so far

210
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: this year. Time now for a segment we call how

211
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: we Feel and we'll rip through some guys we're getting

212
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: asked about on social media and let you know if

213
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: they should be in your lineups this week. So let's

214
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: start Kareem Hunt reunited with the Cleveland Browns taking on

215
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Kevin Fancy says he will play how

216
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: you feeling about him.

217
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: Hunt is someone that I want on my rosters, but

218
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: not in my starting lineups.

219
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: One.

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: It's a hard matchup against the Titans. I am anticipating

221
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford to continue to be the lead back for Cleveland.

222
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: I want to see how much work Kareem Hunt is

223
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: going to get. I kind of need to see it

224
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: before I get him in my lineup.

225
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Well, and so that then brings us to Jerome Ford,

226
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: who right now is the lead running back there in

227
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland going against those same Titans. I think you start him,

228
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: but mostly based on volume. As Florio mentioned, the matchup

229
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: is not great. The Titans run defense has been shutting

230
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: people down for the last couple of seasons. This isn't

231
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: a new thing, so in that respect, I don't love it,

232
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: But I do think he gets the majority of the

233
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: work and volume is so key for running back, so

234
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason you have Jerome Ford. But

235
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: for me, he's a low end RB two at best.

236
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Let's get nuts. Taysom Hill tight end, slash quarterback, slash

237
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: jack of all trades. What do you feel about him

238
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: against the Packers?

239
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: I think you should be starting him if you are

240
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: have been streaming tight ends or anything like that. Look,

241
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: they are super banged up at running back this week.

242
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: They are going to use a bunch of design runs

243
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: with Taysom Hill. I would not be surprised. In fact,

244
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: I am expecting him to be the goal line runner

245
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: for this team. He led them last week with seventy

246
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: five rushing yards, which for a tight end seven and

247
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: a half points is a pretty good day. Adding a

248
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: touchdown there we're talking about him maybe being a top

249
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: five tight end.

250
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't take much to be a top ten tight

251
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: end in fantasy football this season. DeAndre Swift in Tampa

252
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: going against the Buccaneers on Monday Night, I think you

253
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: can start him. Now. What I think is going to

254
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: happen is that he's not going to be as bad

255
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: as he was in Week one. He's not going to

256
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: be as great as he was in Week two. Keep

257
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: an eye out on Kenneth gain Well because there is

258
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: a chance he could come back to play, so that's

259
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: something worth monitoring. But I do think he's worth a

260
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: start just because he does seem to be the most

261
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: talented back. He looks like the most talented back in

262
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: that Eagles backfield. I think this is going to be

263
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: a high scoring game, so I would give DeAndre Swift

264
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: some opportunities as a flex. Been a rough go for

265
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: just the fields. He was getting ripped for allegedly throwing

266
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: his coaches under the bus. Now he's got the Chiefs.

267
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: How you feel about him?

268
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why you're ripping the guy

269
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: when he's just saying the truth. And at first, coming

270
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: into this week, I was like, I guess you gotta

271
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: give Justin Fields one more chance. Then he said this,

272
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: My goal is to go out there this week, say

273
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: fit and play football the way I know how to

274
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: play football. And I'm like, we're getting running Justin Fields back.

275
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: We're getting de throws from Justin Fields, especially in a

276
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: game where they're gonna have to put up points to

277
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: keep up with the Chiefs. If you drafted Justin Fields,

278
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: I give him another chance.

279
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Hold the line with Justin Fields, even if you don't

280
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: want to play him this week, don't drop him. Tank

281
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Dell against the Jaguars. When you heard Florio talk about

282
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, I threw in that I like Tank Dell.

283
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with that. I like Tank Dell. CIJ.

284
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: Stroud has thrown the ball ninety one times in the

285
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: first two games. This team is constantly trailing. They are

286
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: very pass happy. Tank Dell's showing that he can get

287
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: open and earn targets. I think this is going to

288
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: be another throw fest for the Texans this week, and

289
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: so I think Tank Dell very much in play, especially

290
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues. We are not done yet. We gotta

291
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: talk some running backs. Plus we're gonna get our fineries on.

292
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Club dub that's coming up after

293
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: this break here on the startum sit them show, all right, Floria,

294
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk some start sit running back? Shall we?

295
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: Travis Etn because Texans Raheem Mostert, who has been awesome, key,

296
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: I Ran Williams. How we are saying yea from now on?

297
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson Junior in a good matchup, and I think

298
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: Naj Harris is in play again this week?

299
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Some sits.

300
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to start running backs against the Cowboys,

301
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: which means James Connor, Damian Pierce unfortunately, is they sit

302
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook. I'm sticking with Rashad White as a sit

303
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: and AJ Dillon in a tough matchup against the Saints.

304
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Let's dive into some of these guys individually. Let's go

305
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: with the aforementioned Kian Williams, who looked great. He basically

306
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: made Cam Akers expendable in Los Angeles. That's why cam

307
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Akers was traded to Minnesota the Bengals. Look, the defense

308
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: is good, at least on pay, but you still have

309
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: faith in Williams this week.

310
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: Getting traded from LA to Minnesota right before the winter

311
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: is Rough's right, But for Williams, it only means good things.

312
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean he played ninety six percent of the snaps

313
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: last week. He had the hardest possible matchup for a

314
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: running back. He went out and he gave you one

315
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: hundred yards, two touchdowns all and twenty eight fantasy points,

316
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: a whole boatload of him. Now he gets the Bengals,

317
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: who allowed these second most rushing yards in the league.

318
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: Williams is a must start option moving forward.

319
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Darrean Williams has looked fantastic and getting so much the

320
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: passing game work too, which definitely boosts his overall opportunities.

321
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: James Connor he's, I think, universally been the only cardinal

322
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: people have any faith in. But this is one where

323
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: if you can get away from him, I guess you

324
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: probably should.

325
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love James Connor coming into the season. He's

326
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: been reliable the first two weeks. This is all about

327
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: the matchup. In Week one against Saquon Barkley, the Cowboys

328
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: limited him to sixty three total yards and less than

329
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: ten fantasy points, and then last week against the Jets

330
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: a very talented backfield, they held all three of their

331
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: running backs to a combined three point two fantasy points

332
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: combined Breeze Hall, Dalvin Cook, Michael Carter. Look, on the year,

333
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: they've allowed eighty nine rushing yards to running backs, and

334
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: this is a game where I think the Cowboys will

335
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: be playing with from ahead, which means a lot of throwing.

336
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: If you start James Connor, I think you're just kind

337
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: of hoping for some dump off passes.

338
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm starting James Connor, and I'm just hoping for passes.

339
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: It me James Connor Fantasy manager. Damian Pierce. This is

340
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the guy that I am embarrassed on how many teams

341
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: I have him on and it has not been good

342
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: so far. I'm telling people don't drop Damian Pierce, but

343
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: you can't start him at this point.

344
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I'm at with him, except for in

345
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: our Fantasy Live league, where my backups are Dalvin Cook

346
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: and Alvin Kamara. I gotta start him there. But right now,

347
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: it's not a Damian Pierce problem. It is a Texans

348
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: offensive line problem. They were without four starters last week,

349
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: and Damian Pierce on the year has more yards after

350
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: contact than rushing yards, which means every single play he's

351
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: getting hit behind the line of scrimmage and just fighting

352
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: not to lose yards. And then the past game usage

353
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: has not been what we were anticipating it would be.

354
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: And right now on the year, the Jacks have allowed

355
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: less than one hundred rushing yards two running backs. It's

356
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: a bad matchup. The on line is in shambles. I

357
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: would just like you said, you don't drop him, but

358
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: you said.

359
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: I think better days are coming. But right now it's

360
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: just not time to put him in the until we

361
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: see something. He's probably best left on your fantasy bench. Meanwhile,

362
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: guys who are not going to be on the bench,

363
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be having party in a club, a club,

364
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: the players of the week, the guys we guarantee you

365
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: will score twenty five or more fantasy points. And you

366
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: got the Cleveland Brown to getting into the club.

367
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Cleveland Brown has scored twenty

368
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: five points in a game yet this season.

369
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but the.

370
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: Air horns are bad. Start a Mauri Cooper. I think

371
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: he goes off this week. Look, last week we did

372
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: not know if he was even going to suit up.

373
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: He gave you ten targets, seven catches, and ninety yards.

374
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: Now he gets the Titans, who struggle mightily against receivers,

375
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 2: but especially at those who could win downfield. Line up

376
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: out wide, that is exactly what Amari Cooper is, and

377
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: they're great at stopping the run. I think this is

378
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: a week where Watson's gonna have to earn that contract

379
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to do so by throwing it

380
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: to Marik Cooper.

381
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: And right now, Amari Cooper's been the only wide receiver

382
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: you can trust in that Browns offense through the first

383
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: two weeks. For me, we keep talking about how we

384
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: expect the Chargers and Vikings to be a score fest.

385
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: So look, Justin Jefferson is frequently in the club right

386
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Like I mean, people just see him, they already open

387
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: the gates, they give him bottle service, the whole thing. Well,

388
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he is going to be just you know,

389
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: lighting sparklers and making it rain all up in club

390
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: dub this week against the Los Angeles Chargers, we are

391
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: expecting a lot of points. We're expecting both quarterbacks to

392
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: go big, whether it's Kirk Cousins or Justin Herbert, and

393
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is the number one target. I think I

394
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: don't know that Jordan Natison gets into the club. Maybe

395
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson sneaks him in through the back door, but

396
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: he's certainly gonna be hanging around there, may be trying

397
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: to see if he can get himself a free drink

398
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: or anything, for sure. But Justin Jefferson popping bottles, buying

399
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: out the bar at Club Dub this week.

400
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: It's like in Goodfellas. When he shows up, they just

401
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: take him right through the background the kitchen. They have

402
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: the table right set up front because Justin Jefferson's there.

403
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: Every every single week. They just know. They get like

404
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: the somebody tries to sit at the table, they're like,

405
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, that's reserved for mister Jefferson. You're gonna

406
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: have to leave. That's just how it works with Justin Jefferson.

407
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: They're at Club Dub anyway. That's gonna do it for us.

408
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna go and get our relax on somewhere else.

409
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully you will as well. That'll do it for this

410
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: edition of the Start of Tim Show. He is Florio.

411
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: I am Marcus. Enjoy week three, everybody. We'll talk to

412
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: you again real soon.
