8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: gorging ourselves on football. But I guess I should take

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: this opportunity to remind you it is still not too

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: late to sign up for NFL Fantasy. It is free,

Speaker 1: there's still one more game to be played, uh this

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: week coming up on Monday nights. But so far, how

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: are your lineup so looking? This week? So far? So good?

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go undefeated when you play

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: in that many leagues, That's that's not gonna happen. But

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: I felt really good with a lot of my lineups

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: in Week one. Yes, same, I am winning more than

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: I am losing this week so that's a plus. It's

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: a It's always the goal, right, And then I found

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: a couple of nice sleepers. Thank you to Gerald Everett

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: for sliding in nicely after I had to replace George

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Kittle on Sunday in a few places, so that was

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: very good. We got plenty to talk about on the show. Today.

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: We will go through some of the top performers of

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: week one. I guess the underperformers as well. I will

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: play real or mirage, and because it's week one, we

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: will have an episode of Overtreaction Theater. But first, let's

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: start with some news headlines, because there were definitely some

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: big ones coming up on Sunday. The biggest one, Dak

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Prescott will undergo surgery on his throwing hand, expected to

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: miss multiple weeks. According to Ian Rappaport, the operation is

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: to repair a fracture in the thumb on his throwing hand.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: He suffered it during the lost to the Buccaneers on

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Sunday Nights. So obviously this means no that Cooper Rush

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: is the next man up for the Cowboys. You're not.

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: You're not picking up Cooper Rush. Let's just get that

39
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: out of the way. But in terms of Ceedee Lamb,

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. How much are we downgrading them if at all?

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: Right now, I think you definitely have to downgrade them.

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz was the one like bright spot for the

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys last night. I would say, nine targets, seven catches,

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: sixty two yards. Uh, Ceedee Lamb. He loved the volume.

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Like That's why I was pumping him up all summer

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: because the volume that he was gonna get eleven targets

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: in week one that is amazing. Two catches twenty nine

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: yards not not so much. Uh. And we saw this

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: two years ago when Dad got hurt and missed that season.

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was their backup and like Amari Cooper became

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three ish, Ceedee Lamb was like water

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and they were boom or bus like. So I think

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: there's a really good chance that this Cowboys offense becomes

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: pretty gross until Dak press Con returns. So, yeah, it's funny.

55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this probably when we get a

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show, and you know,

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: maybe the answer changes a little bit more now versus

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: what we thought last night watching it. Um, yeah, I

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: hate I hate this for Ceedee Lamb. I hate this

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: for Dalton Schultz. I love both of those guys, but

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: it is going to be hard to rely on them

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: as top line players at their respective positions. I think

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, your best case scenario now is Ceedee Lamb

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver too, but even that seems dubious

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush there, considering how hard it was for

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to get him the ball last night. With

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, maybe Dalton Schultz sort of still maintains at

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: least some level of viability just because tight end generally

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: is volatile outside of the top three or four guys there,

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: and even you know, even Kyle Pitts had a rough

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: day on Saturday as well. Um the running backs, though

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: we saw Zeke get a lot of opportunity. I think

73
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: he played two more snaps than Tony Pollard. Both those

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: guys sort of rotated in and there were times when

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: they were both on the field together last night. Um

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: does either one of those guys benefit. There's neither of

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: them benefit. What happens with the running backs. I I

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: came away from last night not feeling as great about

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: the running backs because what we saw it was like

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: early on, like you said, they were being utilized, and

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Zeke ran well, like like he averaged five yards per carry,

82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: but this oftense struggled to put up points and then

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: they fell behind and then they just completely abandoned the runs.

84
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: So I think that is something you have to be

85
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: a little fearful of as well. And it's not like

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, like with the Jets, like Okay, yeah they're

87
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: a bad team with a backup quarterback right now, but

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: their top targets where they're running backs because Joe Flack

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: was gonna do that. Pollard and Zeke combined had four

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: targets last night. So I don't see right now how

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: you could come away from this feeling better about those guys.

92
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I think maybe you come away from I think Pollard

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: took a bigger hit last night than Zeke did um.

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: But still both of those guys, I think they're they're

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: at the very best. Their value is still down a

96
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: little bit from what it was coming into the season.

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: I think what happens is defenses load up the box

98
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: and they say, Cooper Rush, it's your chance to beat us.

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Cooper Rush is gonna beat

100
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot of teams while he's the starting quarterback

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: there in Dallas over to the forty Niners. It was

102
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: not a great day for them. They end up losing

103
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: a game on the road in the rain to the

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Trey Lance was up and down. But maybe

105
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: the biggest news, at least for our purposes, Elijah Mitchell

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: left that game with a knee injury. We're still sort

107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: of waiting to hear the severity of it, but the

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: fact that he was ruled out fairly quickly does not

109
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: necessarily bode well um for you. Is it as simple

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: as saying, go get Jeff Wilson? Now, Yeah, I think

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson should be one of the top waiver wire

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: targets this week because of this role. Like yesterday nine

113
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: carries two targets for him after Elijah Mitchell got hurt.

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: But we've seen this happen in the past. I mean

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: it's been years now where Jeff Wilson has kind of

116
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: been the Niners number two and when the starter gets hurt,

117
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: he can get you fifteen to twenty touches in in

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a week. And you want exposure to that forty Niners offense.

119
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: So I definitely know we're gonna talk waiver wire names later.

120
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I didn't put him on the list because we want

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: to get as many names as possible, But Jeff Wilson Jr.

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: Should be one of the top running back targets this

123
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: week on the waiver wire, I think, And then if

124
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: you're in a deeper league, would would you be adding

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: one of their backup running backs because we have seen

126
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: in the past Jeff Wilson when he's the guy, he

127
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: has struggled to stay healthy as well at times. Right

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I that was why in drafts I took a lot

129
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: of shots at Terry and Davis Price, and I drafted

130
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: T d P not expecting early in the season to

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of return out if him, figuring

132
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: it was something that would come down the road. Maybe

133
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: it happens earlier than expected. Like I said, we're still

134
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: waiting to see what the prognosis is for Elijah Mitchell,

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: how much time he may miss, if at all, But

136
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: for now it is what it is. The forty Niners

137
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: look like they're gonna be back to using multiple running

138
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: backs and T d P was inactive in Week one

139
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: for another running back, but I I think that for

140
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason, he did not play a single snap on offense.

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I think that has to do more with like special

142
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: teams and stuff. I do expect, like next week, I'm

143
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: thinking t d P will be the number two. I

144
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: would think so, So we'll see how that goes. Uh.

145
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: News out of Pittsburgh, Nagy Harris was seen leaving the

146
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: stadium after the game against the Bengals in a walking boot.

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: That was sort of concerning, But then as the day

148
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: went on, the reports were the Steelers don't seem very

149
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: concerned about it. It It doesn't seem like it's a major injury. So, uh,

150
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: should we be really worried, should be making a move

151
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: or do we just hold tight until we get more

152
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: news here? I think if I have Naji Harris, I'm

153
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: picking up Jalen Warren just in case. Yeah, I think

154
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: you want that pivot option in case Naji misses time.

155
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Whether it be a week or how, we don't know. Um,

156
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: if I don't have Najy, I'm not as bullish to

157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: get Warren because we don't really know just yet. Like,

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: if it comes out before you set your waivers that

159
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Naji Harris is gonna miss time, then I think Warren

160
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: shoots to the top of the list. But if we

161
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: don't really know. There's some other running backs that would

162
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: be more interested in and I think even like for me,

163
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: it would have to be him missing a significant amount

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: of time. If they're saying, hey, look he's week to week,

165
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: he'll probably back in week three. I don't think I

166
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: make that move for a guy that that is going

167
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: to be a short term option. There, Uh, their news

168
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: And this happened right next door to us Keenan Allen

169
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: went out of the game against the Raiders with a

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, and again he was another one who went

171
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: out was ruled out of the game fairly quickly. The

172
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Chargers play on Thursday night on Thursday Night Football against

173
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen expected to go undergo an

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: m R. I but I would say right now, Florio

175
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: with this in the short week, it seems highly unlikely

176
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: that he plays this week. Yeah, I do not expect

177
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: him to be out there, and even if he is,

178
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I would sit him in fantasy. We we've seen this

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: in the past. We were talking about it the other like,

180
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: he literally I believe it was last year, tweeted like

181
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm okay, play me in fantasy. And then

182
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: he played like a very limited amount of snaps and

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: put up no fantasy points. Like it's just far too

184
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: risky because even if he suits up one, he could

185
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: be on a snap count, he could be a decoy

186
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: or two with a hamstring, one little tweak and he's done.

187
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: So I think if you have Keenan Allen, you should

188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: be hoping that he sits Thursday and he gets a

189
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: full two weeks to recover and get back. It's still

190
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: very early in the season. We're we're not worried about, right.

191
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I know we want to win every week, but you

192
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: want your players healthy for the season. Also, if you're

193
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you have a lot of other weapons you

194
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: can go to. I mean, look, I know Mike Williams

195
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: didn't do much yesterday, but he's there. Josh Palmer's there.

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter was making plays for them as well, So

197
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: they have other places to go with the Super Bowl aspirations.

198
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: If we're being honest, like they're, they're not worried. I

199
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: know it's a huge game against the Chiefs that but

200
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: like they're they're worried about January February, they're not worried

201
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: about You're not sacrificing January for September basically at this point.

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: All right, So those are the headlines there. That gets

203
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: us two things that we learned that one of the

204
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: big takeaways we pulled out of what we saw through

205
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the action on Sunday and what popped into your head

206
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: watching football this week. I think the Atlanta Falcons offense

207
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot better for fantasy purposes

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: than a lot of us thought. Coming into the year.

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that the Atlanta Falcons were

210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: the worst team in football arguably, and people were saying

211
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: stuff like, but Marcus Mariota is their quarterback. Yeah, Well,

212
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota was a top ten quarterback in Week one

213
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: because not because he threw for two and fifteen yards

214
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: and no touchdowns, but because he rushed twelve times for

215
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and a touchdown. And then Cordarol Patterson

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: twenty two carries, a hundred and twenty yards and a touchdown. There,

217
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: those two, it was great to see both of those

218
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,119
Speaker 1: guys basically be the entire ground game for the Falcons.

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: And then I know Kyle Pitt's disappointed, but there's going

220
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: to be better days for Kyle Pitts and in his debut,

221
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Drake London tied Pitts with the team lead, and Targets

222
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: had five catches seventy four yards. I think those four

223
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: players Marcus are going to be useful Fantasy pieces. And Mariota,

224
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a streaming option because of

225
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: what he gives you with his legs. I don't I

226
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: don't see Marcus Mariota being any worse than say, a

227
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, right, I mean, I think he'll be better.

228
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: He might be better than Ryan Tannehill. But you know,

229
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: like we don't look at the Titans offense and say, man,

230
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is really dragging this whole operation down. So

231
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: I don't think we should feel that way about Marcus Mariota.

232
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: For me, I've been saying it for the last couple

233
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: of weeks. The sa kwanissans it is on. It is

234
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: officially on. We saw that happen on Sunday. Se Kwon Barkley,

235
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: one of the top scorers across Fantasy a hundred and

236
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: ninety four total scrimmage yards, found his way into the Indo.

237
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: But more importantly, he looked explosive. He looked like the

238
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: se Kwan we saw when he first came out of

239
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Penn State and got to the New York Giants, we

240
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: saw him take a couple of handoffs, get around the corner,

241
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: out run most of the defense. I mean, just this

242
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: big run right here where he just bursts through the hole,

243
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: gets deep down the sideline. He scores the touchdown late

244
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: in the game that helps the Giants come from behind

245
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: and end up winning the football game. Look, I know

246
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: everybody's worried about the injury concerns, but that that applies

247
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: to literally every player in the league. What I kept

248
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: saying the whole time is if se Kwan stays healthy,

249
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: it looks like the burst is back. It looks like

250
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: he's ready to be the se Kuan that we fell

251
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: in love with originally in Week one. Just seems like

252
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: kind of the tip of the spear for him. Yeah,

253
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: and the burst and everything that that I noticed as well.

254
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: What I also noticed was like on that the go

255
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: ahead two point conversion, he literally ran through three defenders,

256
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Like he did not have that ability late last year,

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: Like you would get him and he'd go down. He

258
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: was just very banged up, and now he's healthy and

259
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: a healthy say Kwan Barkley is as good as Jonathan Taylor,

260
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: as good as Christian McCaffrey in fantasy football. I mean, look,

261
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: there's a range of outcomes where maybe he challenges to

262
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: be the number one running back overall. He his target

263
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: share was was top ten in Week one. He's a

264
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: running back. He's a running back. I remember he caught

265
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: ninety passes his rookie years, so it's certainly possible that

266
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: he could do that again. He has Christian McCaffrey h

267
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: type upside when he is healthy. There's still one more

268
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: game to be played. But here are your top performers

269
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: so far in Week one. Patrick Mahomes apparently there's no

270
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: concern with him throwing the football. Three and sixty passing yards,

271
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, thirty four point nine fantasy points. We talked

272
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: about the say kuanaissance. Barkley finishes with thirty three point

273
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: four points in Week one. Justin Jefferson, I think he's

274
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Nine catches, hard eighty four yards,

275
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. There were moments when it looked like the

276
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: Packers had zero clue of where he was on the field.

277
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: He also could have had a much bigger game, like

278
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: he had a near touchdown where he just missed getting

279
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: his foot in on a long one insane, but thirty

280
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: nine point four fantasy points for him. Travis Kelsey eight

281
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: for one, twenty one on a touchdown, twenty six point

282
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: one fantasy points, Young Way Coup was your top kicker.

283
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: The Falcons falcon again unfortunately, but he had eighteen fantasy

284
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: points and the Steelers defense got you twenty four. Uh,

285
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: they had to go to overtime to win, but they

286
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: harassed the heck out of Joe Burrow in Week one.

287
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's go back though, and some of the other guys

288
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't make our list here that that full

289
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: screen graphic. Carson Wentz ended up having a really good day.

290
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I had sort of said as a Bowl prediction, semi

291
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek that he would be a top ten

292
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback because maybe he's taking out a little revenge

293
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars. But at least for one week he

294
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: played well. He played really well. I mean, he scored

295
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven fantasy points. And what stood out to me

296
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: he was like he spread the ball out very much,

297
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: so like he threw forty one times, but Antonio Gibson

298
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: had eight targets. Curtis Samuel had a team high eleven targets,

299
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: eight catches, fifty five yards and a touchdown. Uh. The

300
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: thing I didn't love was Terry McLaurin. Four targets, he

301
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: did catch a long touchdown, uh, in scary Terry fashion.

302
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: And then the rookie dots in there. Five targets, three catches,

303
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. So I think right now Samuel should be

304
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: a target on the waiver wire. Dotson should be a

305
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: target on the waiver wire. I still think Terry is

306
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: someone that you start right now. Antonio Gibson is trending up.

307
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: It's one week, but you have to come away I

308
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: think feeling much better about the path the passing game

309
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: with the Commanders than we did coming into the season.

310
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I think you do. I mean just the number of

311
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: weapons they have and and the key is going to

312
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: be Wins. And the thing about him is that he

313
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: tends to run hot and cold. He was hot on

314
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jaguars. There are going to be weeks

315
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: where he looks like the Carson Wins that makes you

316
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: want to punch your television screen. Uh, for at least

317
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: for this week. But he was he was the good

318
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, So hopefully that's the thing we can kind

319
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: of keep going forward with. But I do think the

320
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers are gonna be guys that we really need

321
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: to pay attention to all year long. Speaking of wide receivers,

322
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: I know we were both fans of Michael Pittman coming

323
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: into the year, and it was a good start twenty

324
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: one fantasy points for him. He looks like the entirety

325
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: of the Colts passing game, at least at least the

326
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: entirety of the wide receiver corps um. He's gonna get

327
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: a ton of targets because I don't know where else

328
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's gonna go with the ball. Yeah, in Week one,

329
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: thirteen targets, nine catches, a hundred and twenty one yards,

330
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and that touchdown was a grown man

331
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: like they were just like he caught the ball, broke

332
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: a tackle, got in. He is by far their top option,

333
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: and I think what didn't help was Alec Pierce dropping

334
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown another receiver they dropped one earlier in the game,

335
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, Matt Ryan's like, I can't

336
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: trust you guys. I'm gonna throw literally double the amount

337
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: of targets Michael Pittman's way that's opposed to the rest

338
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: of you. So yeah, I mean the volume is definitely

339
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: going to help um. Hopefully defenses don't start to focus

340
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: on Michael Pittman and try to take him away. I know,

341
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and like I have him in my league's I think

342
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I would be trying. I know he played great. I

343
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: would still be trying to trade for him right now

344
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: if the person who has him doesn't value him as

345
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one, because I think he's gonna be

346
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one with Matt Ryan. I think he is, because,

347
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know where else are gonna

348
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: go with the football consistently. You know, Nahem Hines will

349
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: get his targets, what have you. But but in terms

350
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: of getting downfield, there's just really nobody else there in Indianapolis. Uh,

351
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. I will admit to for the second year

352
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: in a row, maybe underestimating DeAndre Swift, and for the

353
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: second year in a row, he's gonna make me look foolish.

354
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: But a hundred and seventy five total yards, he had

355
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown as well, twenty six and a half fantasy points.

356
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: I'll admit it. I'm I'm going to stop underestimating DeAndre Swift.

357
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: Now I liked Swift, but I didn't like him as

358
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: much as the swift Ease or what do we call?

359
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I guess that. I mean, I don't know. We'll the

360
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: Swift fans get mad at us if we call them

361
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: call ourselves swift Ease. I'm calling I'm calling them swift Ease.

362
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: What's their thing? Now? They were put some people and

363
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: were pushing them up to be like a top five

364
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: running back. I was like, I haven't as an RB

365
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: one can't get that high. But I will say there

366
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: was one big concerning thing yesterday to goal on touchdowns

367
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: went to Jamal Williams, and it wasn't like it was

368
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: like all right, let's spell deand DeAndre Swift like it

369
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: looked kind of by design like he was their goal

370
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: line back. And that could be an attempt to keep

371
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift healthy. That the lines don't care about our

372
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. They care about keeping their players intact, and

373
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: Swift as someone who has struggled to stay healthy in

374
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: his career, but for fantasy purposes, it is at least

375
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: a bit concerning seeing that definitely is, And you know,

376
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: I would say this last year that was part of

377
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: why I was sort of fading DeAndre Swift because I

378
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: thought Jamal Williams is going to have a big role,

379
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: especially down near the goal line. That never really materialized.

380
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: But now I do wonder whether or not that's going

381
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: to come into play this year. But in the meantime,

382
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: if Swift is doing work all over the field the

383
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: way he was, if he finds a way to score touchdowns,

384
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: maybe that concern is going to be overblown. I guess

385
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: the other part of it is, will the Lions continue

386
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: to score all year long the way they scored on Sunday.

387
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: We'll see, But at least for one week, Dean Andre

388
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Swift the Swift These were right, and he does look

389
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: like a top five running back. Clyde Edwards A Laire

390
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: and we were talking before the show. This is what

391
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't really wrap my head around because by the numbers,

392
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: it was a good fantasy day. Twenty two point four points.

393
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: Uh had seventy four total yards, ended up with a

394
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, both receiving touchdowns. It was hard to

395
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: figure because he didn't get a lot of touches. It

396
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: was a blowout in favor of the Chief, so it

397
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: wasn't like they needed him all game long. We saw

398
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Isaiah Pacheco in the fourth quarter. So

399
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna do real mirage a little bit later, but

400
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: let's just do kind of a preliminary one. Was this real?

401
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be c h Is life? Or was

402
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: this just like a really good first week. I think

403
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: this is real, And I'm not just saying that because

404
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: I told you before the show hit him and Rashad

405
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Penny and my most drafted running backs just because of

406
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: the range they were going in. But one thing I

407
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: we were talking about before the season starter was like,

408
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: this was his first normal healthy preseason. He had like

409
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: emergency gall bladder surgery last preseason and lost a bunch

410
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: of weight and was never the same, and having him

411
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: on so many teams, I was paying a close eye

412
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: to this, and early in the game before it really

413
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: got well out of hand, he was by far dominating

414
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: the touches in this backfield. I love that they were

415
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: using him near the goal line. Both of his receiving

416
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns came on goal to goal situations, I believe, and

417
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: while he was only playing about six of the snaps

418
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: early on. That's enough for him. I think, like you

419
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: don't want him being an eight percent snap guy because

420
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: then he's gonna get hurt. So I do think like

421
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: Pacheco and McKinnon will have roles, but if that is

422
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: the way they're gonna use c H in the passing

423
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: game near the goal line, I think he can have

424
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: a really good year. Yeah. And you know, I know

425
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks were off of him just

426
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: because he was a disappointment the first couple of years

427
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: in the league, and so that caused his a DP

428
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: to fall. And maybe they have found the role for him.

429
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he is healthy now. Uh, and so maybe maybe

430
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: we are turning a corner on Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Uh.

431
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't draft him in a whole lot

432
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: of spots, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on him

433
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: to see, you let to see what he can do

434
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: and what he can be. All Right, So mistakes were made,

435
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: people will be blamed. We asked you for your biggest

436
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: lineup mistakes in week one, the guys who disappointed you

437
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: and maybe other places you could have pivoted to. So

438
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: we got a handful of tweets that we will dive into.

439
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the first one, This one from No

440
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: Limit Ivan saying trade lance and bad weather conditions and

441
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs over Mike Thomas shaking my head. Look, I'm

442
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you on trade lance. I thought he'd figure

443
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: out a way out to prosper and I actually I

444
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: like Josh Jacobs too, so I understand. But Mike Thomas

445
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: man can't guard mikea look like he was back this

446
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: week and I'm sorry, but me and you were in

447
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas this week, So I I felt pretty good

448
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: about that one. Josh Jacobs one target that is very concerning.

449
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: That was disappointing. I really thought he'd get more carries.

450
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: But I think some of it is the Chargers were

451
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: scoring and they had to go to the passing game

452
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: and it was a rough day for Derek carr Uh

453
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: in that passing game. Next one coming up, this one

454
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: from Matthew who says, starting Adam feeling at my flex

455
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: instead of Clyde Edwards Hilaire, we just talked about c H.

456
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have high hopes for Adam Theland this year,

457
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: but I did think he'd get you more than the

458
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: what two or three points or whatever it is he

459
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: put up on Sunday. Yeah, and I know his quote

460
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: after the game when he was like, I've never been

461
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: in a part of an offense where it was just

462
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: keep attacking, keep attacking downfield, no matter the score. And

463
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, they they weren't using you to attack targets.

464
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: It was it was all Justin Jefferson. Yeah. So I

465
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: do wonder. I mean, we keep saying regression is coming

466
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: for Adam Feeling, and the last couple of years he

467
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: has thumbed his nose in our face. But I don't know,

468
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: maybe with Justin Jefferson like sucking up all the oxygen

469
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere, maybe regression really does come for for

470
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling. He also prevented her from swerving. He did

471
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: prevent IRV from swerving. I'm not really down with that.

472
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: This one from Randy, Uh is this our own Randy,

473
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: This is our own Randy produce Serrand. Randy started Travis E.

474
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: T and Jr. In my RB two slot eight and

475
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: a half points. Yeah. Look, I didn't really know what

476
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: to make a Travis etn I was just all I

477
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: can say is that James Robinson is real I guess

478
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: that was That's the takeaway from me. So James Robinson

479
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: was way better than I ever anticipated, and that could

480
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: throw a big wrench into Travis E t N. I

481
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: will say this, Randy. I could actually look at Randy

482
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: and speak with him. E t N was wide open

483
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: in the first quarter for a touchdown and Trevor Lawrence

484
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: just launched it over his head. If he catches that touchdown,

485
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: We're we're feeling much better. A different day. It's an

486
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: absolutely different day. Um, if he catches that touchdown. But yeah,

487
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: I think I think we just all wait and see

488
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: what happened with James Robinson and he got a lot

489
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: of opportunity and he played really really well. Yeah. So uh,

490
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: last one here, this one from Big Oz Mooney and

491
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: the flex over Patterson. I feel you on this one, dog,

492
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: Yeah done. Mooney had like two targets Cordaril Patterson. You

493
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: see that twenty two carries a hundred and twenty yards

494
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: in a touchdown like he's a bonafid running back. At

495
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: least for this past week he was. But I'll say this,

496
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: be patient with Darnell Mooney. It will get better. But yeah,

497
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't see the two targets or whatever

498
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: it was coming for him yesterday. I'm gonna chalk up

499
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: everything that happened bad in that game to just like

500
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: it was like a monsoon out there, Like, yeah, it

501
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: was pretty bad at some point, especially in that fourth quarter.

502
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: The rains came back and it just it just was

503
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: a downpour there. So I feel your pain. I understand it.

504
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say you did anything wrong. I understand

505
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: the process. The results just didn't work out in your favor.

506
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: So better what next time to all of you. Of

507
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: course they're still weak two, so we can come back

508
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: and lick our wounds and repair and get better going

509
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: forward to play a little real or mirage as we

510
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: get ready to wrap up Week one. So I got

511
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: the four guys here who did things that were either

512
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: better than expected or worse than expected, and we'll try

513
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: to figure out whether this is going to be our

514
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: life now on the up or on down. Let's start

515
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: with Trade Lance, because there was so much excitement, so

516
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: much hype about Trey Lance, not just as a real

517
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: football player, but certainly as a fantasy football player. It

518
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: wasn't great. A hundred and sixty four passing yards had

519
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: an interception fifty four rushing yards. That's not bad, certainly,

520
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: but nine point nine six fantasy points. This was not

521
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts like just Pencilman for twenty that we

522
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: were hoping it would be. You mentioned at the end

523
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: of the last segment about it being monsoon conditions, the

524
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: weather being awful. Uh do we just chalk this up

525
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: as hey, this was a really rough day, or maybe

526
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: did we overestimate who Trade Lance is? Uh? You you

527
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: could say, uh, this is because I'm a Trade Lance apologist.

528
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: But I think this is mirage. Like you couldn't ask

529
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: for worst conditions for yesterday weather wise. Um, He's first

530
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: started as a new starter on the road and in

531
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: a tough environment. Then you the weather we've already talked about,

532
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: Then you take away George Kittle at the last minute

533
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: as well, then in the middle of the game he

534
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: loses his starting running back. I think this was just

535
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: a case of like everything that could have went wrong

536
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: went wrong for Trey Lance. I think there will be

537
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: much better days ahead. I'm with you, I'm not I'm

538
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: not willing to, you know, close the book yet. I

539
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: feel like forty er fans and just for people watching

540
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: football in general, this was sort of worst case scenario

541
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: because you've got Jimmy Garoppolo there, and you've got that

542
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: whole narrative hanging over him, and you know what happens.

543
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen tweets of like, dude, the Niners

544
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: pull the plug on Tray Lance, and like it's not

545
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I don't think fantasy manager should

546
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: pull the plug on him either. I mean, look, the

547
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: fifty four rushing yards, that's not a bad total. Um.

548
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: You know, I think over the course of seventeen games,

549
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: I get you pretty close to a thousand yards on

550
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: the season, So that's that's not bad. Yes, we knew

551
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: he was raw as a passer, but as you mentioned

552
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: the conditions, everything sort of went against him there, not

553
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: having his top tight end, losing his top running back,

554
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: the weather being bad, tough start on the road. Um,

555
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: this was about as frustrating as it could be. I

556
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: started him in a few places, so I'm sort of

557
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: eating that right now, But I think I think he

558
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: gets better. Uh. Kareem Hunt. The Browns pulled one out

559
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. Kareem Hunt seventy total yards, four catches,

560
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, twenty three fantasy points. He kind of split

561
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: snaps with with Nick Chubb. I think they both played

562
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: around the snap something like that. I feel like the

563
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: two touchdowns obviously makes a huge difference in the day,

564
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: but can he have that touchdown upside. I'm not gonna

565
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: say twenty three points a week for him, but you know,

566
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: are we gonna see more Kareem Hunt than maybe we anticipated?

567
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 1: I think so. I think this is real and I

568
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: think this is who Kareem Hunt has been for the

569
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And I think we always said, well,

570
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: he's behind Nick, like in the off season. It's easy

571
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: to be like, well, Nick Chubb is their guy that

572
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna but Creem Hunt always has a role. He's

573
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: always the past and the past catching back for the Browns,

574
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: and then he always has get a couple of games

575
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: a year like this where he'll score two touchdowns and

576
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: he's an RB one. I think Kareem Hunt is a

577
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: great flex option, like because if he didn't get those

578
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, eleven points like that's that's a solid floor

579
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: for a flex guy. But then he has the chance

580
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: of what was scoring a touchdown or two. I think

581
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt is who Kareem Hunt has been. I think

582
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: so too. I do think this is sort of real again,

583
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: minus the two touchdowns. That's not going to happen every week.

584
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: If it does, then they were really onto something. But

585
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: I think especially when you look at the offense with

586
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette, uh, you know, Amari Cooper really didn't offer much,

587
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: which I don't think surprised either of us. Um, this

588
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: is not going to be a very vertical passing game

589
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: right there. They're gonna be a lot of short throws,

590
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of safe throws, and that means Kareem Hunt

591
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: is gonna get opportunity there. They have a very specific

592
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: division of labor in Cleveland. Nick Chubb is the guy

593
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: who's going to run the football. He's going to run

594
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: between the tackles. He's going to run hard, He'll get

595
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: your yards after contact. All of that. Kareem Hunt will

596
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: get a few carries in there, but as you mentioned,

597
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: his job is mostly to come in catch the football,

598
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: especially late in the game third down situations. So that

599
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: backfield sort of easy to figure. So I think what

600
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday is going to be sort of what

601
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 1: we see all year long from Kareem Hunt, all right,

602
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: this is the big one in Houston. We spent so

603
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: much time beating the drum for Damian Pierce. It got

604
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: out of control. I think we all sort of recognized

605
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: that we created a monster that we could not control

606
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: after a while. And Adam Renk called it last week

607
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live, saying that he was just pinciling in

608
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Rex Birkehead for a big day. We were all gonna

609
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: sit around on that helps no one and lament what

610
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: we did. Rex Birkehead played six of the snaps. He

611
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: had nineteen total touches, five catches, seventy total yards. Damian

612
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Pierce was a major letdown in Week one for anybody

613
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: who started him. So now we're left picking up the

614
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: pieces with rex Birkehead. What we saw is that real

615
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: or a mirage? I think it's real for now. It's

616
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: not gonna last. I fully still believe Damian Pierce is

617
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: going to lead this backfield and touches at the end

618
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: of the year. It's just they're they're doing this weird

619
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: thing coaches do where they make the work the rookie

620
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: earned the work and all of that. Uh, because look,

621
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Rex burke had played better than we expected. But seventy

622
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: yards on nineteen touches is not is not very efficient,

623
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Like it's just not It's pure volume based, and he's

624
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: good in the pasting games. I think Damian Pierce is better. Um.

625
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: I think for right now, Rex Burkhead can be picked

626
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: up and maybe used as a flex at best, But

627
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: I would be holding Damian Pierce. I wouldn't be starting

628
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: him until we see him get more work, but I

629
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: would be holding him, not even thinking about dropping him.

630
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: So we're still going Rex in the flex in the

631
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: short term. Um. Yeah, I still believe in Damian Pierce.

632
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think over the course of the season,

633
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: like you said, we will see him sort of take

634
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: over in that backfield. I was surprised to see Burkehead

635
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: as much as we did in week one, Um, you know,

636
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: but I guess it holds true, right whenever we love

637
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: something so much in fantasy and just as bound to

638
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: go the other way. Uh So, I was a little

639
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: bit surprised to see Burkehead get as much work as

640
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: he did. Maybe it happens again next week, but I

641
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: think I think when we get into the middle October,

642
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: we'll see it flip a little bit more, and I

643
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: think Pierce closes that gap and starts to get more opportunity.

644
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: So I guess this is is real for now, but

645
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: it is it is fading into the land of mirage

646
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: really quickly. Last one, Curtis Samuel and we talked about

647
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Earlier, we talked about those wide receivers. I

648
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: mean we we all were drafting Terry McLaurin. I know

649
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson was very popular amongst the Dynasty set, but

650
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel had a pretty nice day. Eight catches fifty

651
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: five yards in a touchdown on eleven targets, four carries

652
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: for seventeen yards, And part of his appeal had been

653
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: throughout his career is that you can sort of use

654
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: him as a dual threat receiver slash running back. Nineteen

655
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Um, I mean, is this real? Is this

656
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: a mirrage? Does this all depend on Parson Wentz? Where

657
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: are we where are we going? I think it's real,

658
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: but it all depends on Carson Wentz because when the

659
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: weeks where Carson went struggles, I think those past catchers

660
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: are going to struggle. But the thing I think we

661
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: forget about Curtis Samuel is that we all loved him

662
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: just like two years ago, and and not to like

663
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, who we all love for wide receivers, your

664
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: boy like he was on Curtis Samuel, and the only

665
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: knock since then has been Samuel hasn't been able to

666
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: stay healthy, but when he's on the field, he is

667
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: a productive piece. So I believe as long as he

668
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: stays healthy, he's going to be utilized in this offense.

669
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: And I love that they're taking advantage of his Russian

670
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: capabilities as well, because he did play running back in college.

671
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: So I think there's reason to get excited for Curtis Samuel.

672
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: I would definitely be targeting him on the waiver wire

673
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: if I need a receiver. It's weird because we're we're

674
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: talking about the Commander's offense and pieces that you can

675
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: sort of use from there. I like the fact that

676
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: they they used Samuel as a running back. I also

677
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: like the fact that it sort of works in tandem

678
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: that they used Antonio Gibson as a downfield receiving fan.

679
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: You know, like that's the thing that we have been

680
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: asking for for the last couple of years, Like why

681
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: aren't you taking the guy who was a college wide

682
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: receiver and letting him run some routes and getting him

683
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the ball down feet old. So maybe if they're starting

684
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: to mix things up, this offense gets really kind of interesting,

685
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of usable pieces. The talent

686
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: they have could like you could do like just just

687
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: you could just be like audible. And then Antonio Gibson

688
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: runs out, Now he's a receiver, Samuel Colne up in

689
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: the back like you. You could play position with football

690
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: with the roster they have there, and and it would

691
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. I think really would be

692
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Wow, we're talking about the Washington

693
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: Commanders and being fun, being fun words I haven't said

694
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: in a really really long time. Uh, speaking of fun

695
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I don't know if that's fun or not,

696
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: but that was my segue. We're gonna take a break

697
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: and come back and look at some waiver wire targets

698
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Alright, so, Floria,

699
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: walk me through your top waiver wire targets for the week.

700
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, who we both like and had a good game.

701
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, who talked about Daniel Jones because he's running

702
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: the ball there in New York, Darryl Henderson Jr. Rex

703
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Burke had we talked about. Kenyan Drake was the lead back.

704
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: Lea Herbert played really well. Kenneth Gainwell also looked good

705
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: in his role. Isaiah Pacheco and don Chell Hilliard some

706
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: running backs who got more opportunity than expected. And then

707
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: going on to the receivers and tight ends. Romeo Dabbs

708
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: leading the way there in Green Bay, Azaia Mackenzie. We

709
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time talking about the Commanders guys

710
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: d J. Chark who had a really impressive touchdown catch,

711
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay who looks like the wide receiver to in Baltimore,

712
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips as advertised in the preseason, and then Gerald

713
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Everett who looked good and now with no Keenan Allen

714
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: next week, and then Hayden Hurst and tight end Taysom

715
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: Hill rounding out the list, Titan Taysom Hill, who was

716
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: like running back Taysom Hill with eighty rushing yards. It

717
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what position you list him as. He's going

718
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: to ruin someone's face. He's going to ruin your day.

719
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: It's all it is. Uh So, we've talked a lot

720
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: about the commanders, Let's talk about the commanders some more,

721
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: because Johan Dotson was on that list, and I said

722
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: earlier he was definitely a favorite among dynasty folks. But

723
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: with what he did, and look, I know people liked

724
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: his skills, we just didn't know what to expect from

725
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: the offense. But maybe now we actually have to pay

726
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: attention to Johan Dotson. We really could be talking about

727
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: three viable wide receivers from the commanders now. Yeah, and

728
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: the thing about Dots and as much as we spoke

729
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: up Curtis Samuel, Curtis Samuel was the third wide receiver here.

730
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: He played the third amount of snaps, whereas Dotson and

731
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. We're not coming off the field. So so

732
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: those are your two wide receiver sets right there, and

733
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: only five targets, but two impressive touchdown catches. I think

734
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of upside. It might be a

735
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: little bit rocky some weeks when, like we said, when

736
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Carson went struggles, but the upside is always there, and

737
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: he was he was picking up yards and chunks. You

738
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: talk about the target volume that it's not necessarily high,

739
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: but if he's getting downfield shots, if he's getting shots

740
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: towards the end zone and that's gonna make a big

741
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: difference in what his production can be. Kenneth Gainwell on

742
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: the list as well. Uh. First off, newsflash, Miles Sanders

743
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. That's amazing. I do not think that

744
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: was allowed, right, I think I didn't think it was

745
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: any think that's part of the rules. I thought the

746
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: bylaws forbid that. But congratulations to him. But Kenneth Gainwell

747
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: still did get a lot of work. There is opportunity

748
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: for both of them. Um, But Boston Scott might be

749
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: the fly in the ointment. But at least for now,

750
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: Kenneth game Will still has viability. Yeah, I mean the

751
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: five carries, it's all right, but the four targets of

752
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: what we really liked, he had four targets. The other

753
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: running backs combined just had too. So he clearly has

754
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: carved out a role there. And this was a game

755
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: where I know it ended up being close, but the

756
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: Eagles were playing through with the lead throughout and at

757
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: some point it was a multiple touchdown leads. So that's

758
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: not really a game where you're gonna be throwing the

759
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: ball a bunch to your running backs. I think gain well,

760
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: is someone worth targeting. But you talked about Miles Sanders

761
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown. The Eagles had four rushing touchdowns yesterday

762
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: and four different players scored him Like that is a

763
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: nightmare for fantasy, Absolutely a nightmare for fantasy if we're

764
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: gonna spread the touchdown love around like that real quick.

765
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: Because you have Devin DuVernay on the list two and

766
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: rischatd Bateman had a decent game, but Duvernet h ended

767
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: up having the bigger fantasy game. Is there room for

768
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: a third pass catcher in the Baltimore passing game this year?

769
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: So Duvernet only had four targets and you don't love that,

770
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: But again, this was a game where it was never

771
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: close for Baltimore, like they it was in the bag

772
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: early on. I think he's worth taking a speculation flyer

773
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: on because last year Mark Andrews was great, Marky's Brown

774
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: was really good, and there was at times where Rashad

775
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: Bateman was still I know he was hurt, but he

776
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: was fantasy useful at certain times. So I would be

777
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: taking a flyer on Devin Duverney. I mean last year

778
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: Markus Brown had I think like a thirty thirty something

779
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: percent targets share low thirties. Uh, it's just hard to

780
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: think that somehow Rashade Bateman is gonna come in and

781
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: absorb that many targets by himself. So Duvernet I think

782
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: very much could be in play. You know, I sort

783
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: of liked them at some points of the preseason, and

784
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: not enough to draft him in a ton of spots,

785
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: but I did take some shots on him and a

786
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: few spots. Who knows, maybe it pays off somewhere later

787
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: on in the year. All right, start for some overreaction

788
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: in theater. We're gonna go back through the things that

789
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: we saw over the weekend, and uh, we're going to

790
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: decide whether or not it's time to panic or not

791
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: about some of these things. Let's start with the Green

792
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, because let's just be honest, it was not

793
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: great for the Green Bay offense on Sunday. Um, so

794
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: that means because of what we saw, Aaron Rodgers is droppable.

795
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he was your QB thirteam to

796
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: start the year, so he's obviously not a QB one. Uh.

797
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: It was not a great day for him on Sunday,

798
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: So we can just forget about it. We can just

799
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: call it a wrap and Aaron Rodgers can go back

800
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. Now I think so, No, that's

801
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: an overreaction. Someone yesterday tweeted me and they were like,

802
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: can I get rid of him? He looked awful, and

803
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: I was like, well, last year he won the m

804
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: v P and in Week one he threw for a

805
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

806
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a thing with him

807
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: where he just comes out hung over from the off

808
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: season and winning his m vps and doesn't like to

809
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: play in Week one. I will say I was very concerned,

810
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: not for Rogers, but the past pitchers weren't doing much.

811
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: The old line also struggled for him. But I still

812
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: think Rogers will be getting close to Rogers at some point. Look,

813
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: you don't win back to back m v p s,

814
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: you don't hang around in this league this long. You're

815
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: not a first ballot Hall of Famer because you can't

816
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: figure out how to bounce back from bad games. And

817
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: and it was a bad game for him on Sunday.

818
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: There's no there's no bones about it. I mean, he's

819
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: the QB thirty I thing right now as we sit

820
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: here head into my night football, do not drop Aaron Rodgers.

821
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: If you drafted him, do not drop him. Did you

822
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: see he got a haircut before the game. He did.

823
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why maybe he needs to go back to

824
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: the long hair. I don't know what it is. And

825
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: people were saying, you look like the cage. I see that.

826
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of comparisons. Uh, yeah, I don't know.

827
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: But whatever it is, he gotta you gotta switch it

828
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: up now, man, because whatever happened on Sunday didn't didn't work. Um,

829
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are going to sink your fantasy team now.

830
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: So when I when I put this in the rundown

831
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday, they were just playing badly. Now that has

832
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: hurt out for multiple weeks. We talked about this at

833
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: the top of the show. This feels this doesn't feel

834
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: like an overreaction anymore. When we were talking about this

835
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: last night, like in the second quarter of the game,

836
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this is a hundred percent and

837
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: over reaction. They will be fun. Now I'm like, no,

838
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: they they very well might sink her. Like yeah, I'm

839
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: still gonna start seedee lamb if I have them, But

840
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: like I don't feel great about it anymore. And the

841
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: same thing with all of the Cowboys. The only one

842
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm not super worried about is Dalton Schultz, and that's

843
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: mainly because he's a tight end and I think he

844
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: can get you like eight to nine points a game.

845
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it could get very ugly and like

846
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: it's really bad with no Dak. I mean it was.

847
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: It was going to be hard enough with that when

848
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: you figure their targets were pretty much going to be

849
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: Lamb and Schultz that's it, with maybe some Pollards sprinkled in.

850
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: Now you've got Cooper Rush with very few targets in

851
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: places to go with the football. This seems like a

852
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: bad deal. So yeah, you know, in the in the

853
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: space of like twelve hours, Uh, this went from an

854
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: overreaction to no, this this feels about right right now. Yeah.

855
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: And and also preseason Darling Jalen Tilbert in active in

856
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: Week one. Apparently things have not gone well for him

857
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: in practices since we all hyped him up. On the

858
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, Julio Jones looks like Julio

859
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: Jones again, I said before the show, he looks like

860
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: the Julio of old, and not just old Julio. Julio

861
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: Jones is Tampa Bay's wide receiver one. This is a

862
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: very slight overreaction only because it's Mike Evans, But Julio

863
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: Jones is there one B right now. I truly believe that.

864
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Like when Chris Godwin was out there early on, he's

865
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: playing like half the snaps. Russell Gauge was on a

866
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: milk carton, like this is what we were saying. Like

867
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: people were saying, oh, well, Russell Gage is gonna play

868
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: ahead of Julio. No, Julio was a top seven in

869
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: his top speed yesterday was the seventh best in Week one.

870
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: So far, Julio is not washed. Julio is making downfield catches,

871
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: They're running end arounds for him. He is a big

872
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: part of this offense. And now Chris Godwin, who I

873
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: think it was a mistake to have him play last night.

874
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: I thought that even before he got hurt. Now he's

875
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: suffered a hamstring injury. Take your time with this guy.

876
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: You're you're a Super Bowl contender. You're not playing for September.

877
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Godwin for

878
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and that's just gonna lead to

879
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: more and more work for Julio Jones. I think the

880
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Godwin narrative is very similar to what we're talking about

881
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: with Keenan Allen in that if you're Tampa, you do

882
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: have aspirations to be playing into January in February. There's

883
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: no need to rush it for September, especially when you

884
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: have the weapons that you do. When you've got Mike

885
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: Evans and Julio and Leonard four Nette and your Russell Gage,

886
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: You've got so many places to go with the football,

887
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: there's no need to rush him back. As for Julio Jones, yeah,

888
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: he still has something left in the tank. Now. For Julio,

889
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, it's been a series of

890
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: nagging injuries that have held him back. So look, if

891
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: they've got him on this TV twelve training method now,

892
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: then maybe we don't have to worry about that. But

893
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: in terms of what he can give you when he's

894
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: healthy and on the field, um, yeah, he's still really

895
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: really good. And what I love how they used him

896
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: like some I just think some teams are smarter than others.

897
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: And and the Bucks only let him play of the

898
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: snaps they're not asking him to run block, like they're

899
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: pulling him off. And that's something I noticed the Bills

900
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: were doing when I was at the I was like,

901
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: why is Digs off the field so much? And I

902
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, they're not asking him to run block,

903
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's genius, Like that's the only thing

904
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: that could happen there is your receiver gets hurt, Like,

905
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: there's why I put your stress, especially Julio, someone who

906
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: has been banged up like the Titans last year. We're

907
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 1: asking him to block a whole bunch. He's being used

908
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: in a very smart way. I think here they're controlling him.

909
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: They're they're picking and choosing their spots, and I think

910
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: that can Julio can thrive in that role. Let your

911
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: prime talent do what they do best and not risk

912
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: them at things that if they don't excel at where

913
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: it's just there's the only downside. Because Darius Tony, I

914
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: know this is your dude, that you loved him in

915
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: the off season, Um, he was very much. You weren't

916
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: the only person hyping him. There are a lot of

917
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: people that were on the Tony train. Darius Tony is

918
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: the new Brandon aiyuk as in he's that guy that

919
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: people hyped up all off season who's going to break

920
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: our hearts. At least after Week one, that appears to

921
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: be for real. It really does appear to be the case.

922
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: And look, I'm gonna talk directly to you, Brian Dable.

923
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: I know you won yesterday, you're feeling great today. You

924
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: can't continue to win with Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepherd

925
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: and Richie James being your three wide receiver sets. You

926
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: bring Kadarius Tony in, he breaks a bazillion tackles, He

927
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: picks up twenty yards on a play that should have

928
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 1: been for a loss, and you're like, you know what,

929
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: we need Richie James back on this field. No, stop it.

930
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't care what he's doing and why he hasn't

931
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: earned your trust. He's by far your best receiver, your

932
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: most explosive option. Please, for my sake, use him more.

933
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: There was a play yesterday where they hit him on

934
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: a little swing pass and it was sort of blocked

935
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: off and he turned the corner, comes back the other

936
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: way and picks up like ten fifteen yards and it's

937
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: like I just only played seven snaps, and really it

938
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: didn't matter. Like one, Dale Robinson got hurt and that

939
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't really change things for Kadarius Tony. He's still pretty

940
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: much spent most of his days sitting on the bench, uh,

941
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: you know, looking salty, and I don't know what he

942
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: could have like when you watch Kenny Golladay play. How

943
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: is it possible that anyone gives less effort than Kenny Golladay.

944
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. But apparently they seem that they like

945
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: him more, they trust him more than they trust Candarius.

946
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Tell me, I don't get it, but this appears to

947
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: be the thing. We'll see what happens next week. But uh,

948
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: he really is in the doghouse. And this is a

949
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: new coaching staff too. Like you would think this is

950
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: a chance to start getting good here, but apparently not

951
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: for Tony. I'm not dropping him though, and I know

952
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the Candarius Tony guy. I'm holding him tight.

953
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm starting him in week two. You

954
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: have to see him be out there and be used more. Um.

955
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: But but I'm not dropping him in I think dropping

956
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: him would be overreacting, all right. Last one we sort

957
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: of touched on this earlier, but Devin Duverney is the

958
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: Ravens pass catcher to have. And I'm gonna I'll look

959
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: this over action theater. I'm saying over Mark Andrews. You

960
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: know what, you spent the second or third round pick

961
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: on Mark Andrews, You screwed up. You should have spent

962
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: that pick on Devin Duverney because he's the dude that

963
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: you want to have. You know, they all were pretty like,

964
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: they were pretty good nine yards, they were very close. Uh.

965
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: I think Duvernet is going to be that third guy.

966
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: I I don't think he's the one you want to own.

967
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: I still think that's Mark Andrews. But man if Bateman

968
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't have that long touchdown catch, We're talking about Bateman

969
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: as the overreaction theater today, not Duvernes. So the fact

970
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: that Duverne is getting deep balls and stuff in this offense,

971
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he he's definitely someone to take notice of. Yeah,

972
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: Like I think I think he is still the third guy,

973
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: but if you're playing in a deeper league, he should

974
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: be on rosters. And I think he's going to be

975
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: a very popular waiver wire pick up this week. Uh.

976
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: And it makes sense because it looks like Lamar Jackson's

977
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna spread the football around. Mark Andrews still the number

978
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: one guy. I think Baton behind him, but Duvernet I

979
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: think is going to be viable for a good of

980
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: the season. One more we get a bonus one thrown

981
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: in here. Taysom Hill is going to be the top

982
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: scoring Saint all year long. We should have drafted Taysom

983
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: Hill everywhere. So that is an overreaction. But what's not

984
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: an overreaction is that Taysom Hill is going to be

985
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: a nuisance all year Like there was just way too

986
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: much of Taysom Hill. And like he said, he's a

987
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: tight end by position. He had one target but four carries.

988
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: I know a lot of it was the fifty seven

989
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: yard run, but like he's stealing touchdowns away, it's it's

990
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: gonna be an issue. I really thought this is gonna

991
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: go away once Sean Payton left, Like I felt like

992
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was a Sean Payton, you know, sort of gadget, like,

993
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: hey this is look how smart I am. I'm Sean Payton.

994
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: But now like this, Allen is there the head coach,

995
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: and we're still dealing with this nonsense. You're right, like

996
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm never going to advocate that you go

997
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: pick up Taysom Hill. I just can't. I know, at

998
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback, we would never say to use him. But

999
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: if he keeps getting like touches every week at tight end,

1000
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I feel like I'm gonna have

1001
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: to put him in my sleeper's column in like week twelve,

1002
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna feel gross about it, Like I know

1003
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: what's going to happen if this keeps up. I don't know.

1004
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: What I can't wait is for Jamis and Andy Dalton

1005
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: they get hurt. And then we got, like week fifteen,

1006
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: Taysom Hills starting quarterback at the tight end spot. Oh,

1007
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the worst. Oh man, Twitter is going

1008
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: to be on fire when he's still listed as a

1009
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: tight end and starting at quarterback because the Saints have

1010
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: no other options. Oh. I hate the fact that it

1011
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: even was put in the atmosphere. Uh. You know what,

1012
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: we we got plenty of fantasy content for you all
