1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: We are the NFL Fantasy Live crew here in Sirius

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: XM Fantasy Sports Radio. The number is nine six three

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: to six a tow. I'll help you set your lineups,

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: give you all the trade advice weekend over the next

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: couple of hours. Also breakdown all the big news fantasy

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: wise in the National Football League. And guys, somebody we've

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: been talking about. We talked about him earlier today in

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live and the NFL Network, also on NFL

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: dot Com. Something very tiny happened with Carson Palmer yesterday.

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it didn't get a lot of coverage,

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: but now we know he's a Raider. He's likely going

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: to start for the Raiders on Sunday. Michael Lombardi from

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: the NFL Network reporting that earlier today. So now we

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: know Carson Palmer's in, Jason Campbell is out, Carson Palmer

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: is going to start. Can you start Carson Palmer? This week?

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of byes, fabs, a lot of people

17
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: looking for quarterbacks. Those back end quarterbacks have not been

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: very good. Those guys not coming through the Grossman's Fitzpatricks

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: have not been playing well. We got buys you started

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: this week. I'm sure fantasy owners out there have issue

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: at quarterback. There's some real good ones on buys. There's

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: other guys who are suddenly losing their jobs, like Records

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Grossman and Donovan McNabb and the like. Uh, Blaine Gabbert's

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: not a fantasy option for you at this point in

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: the year. There's a lot of quarterbacks out there that

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: just can't get it done from a fantasy perspective. He's

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs. They've allowed the seventh most fantasy points

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks this year. I would not be shy about

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: starting Carson Palmer ahead of guys like I just mentioned,

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: ahead of guys who have not have really struggled during

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eleven campaign. I know that he's

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna have some rust, but based on the matchup, I

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: would roll the dice. I'll tell you what you know.

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: Michael only talked for about what forty five seconds, and

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: his phone's already blowing up, Like he said, I didn't

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: realize he said so they so controversial Matt More owners

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: are very upset and have more owners. Boy, if you

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: saw that, about how many points did the Jets have

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: against Matt Moore to his quarterbacks struggling. You know, we

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: were in a picture of Carson Palmer on NFL dot com,

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, in his raiders gear. I don't know if

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you've I saw that. He looked like Jason Garrett. Was

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I the only one that noticed that a little bit.

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: It looks like you lost some weight. It looks like

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: he lost weight, you know, and he didn't have the

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: giant beard that he was sporting towards the end of

47
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: last season. But I agree with Fabs here. I mean,

48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we we have several quarterbacks that have been lost. Obviously,

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: Jason Campbell has a collarbone injury, likely done for the year,

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: and then uh, Donovan Nab sitting on the pine. You

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: just mentioned Matt Moore. Carson Palmer. I don't like him

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: this week. Whether he starts or whatever, whether he gets

53
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, I think you have to give

54
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: him to after the bye Jason. I mean, listen, the guy.

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: It's not like he's been throwing the ball at NFL

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: white outs. I don't care how much military press he's

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: been doing. I don't care if he's got P ninety

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: x at home. The guy has not been throwing fifteen

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: yard outs to NFL wide receivers with corners that run

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: four force covering them. Yeah, and that's why I'm I

61
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of back off Carson Palmer this week too, because

62
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: you can say, while I'm working out and he's working

63
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: out in southern California throwing footballs, that's great, But he's

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: not been with a football team and almost a year,

65
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: and you saw what the lockout did a lot of

66
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: people who weren't ready for the season after a long

67
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: layoff there. Now you're adding another month and a half

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: for Carson Palmer, especially because I think there's guys available

69
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that I like a little bit more. I love Matt

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Castle's matchup this week. Hopefully you picked up Tim Tebow.

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup this week. I like Colton

72
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: McCoy this week. There's a lot of guys out there.

73
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Carson Palmer is not going to be

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: a guy, but boy to think he's gonna come in

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: and throw that he's gonna be on adrenaline. Let me

76
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: throw some names out there. Or no Carson Palmer or

77
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: either one of the Seahawks quarterbacks. Uh, you know what?

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: You know what this week I like, which I think

79
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a ton of points in that game.

80
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: I like whoever starts with the Carson Palmer or Matt Moore, Carson,

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, Curtis Painter, Carson Palmer, Carson Palmer or Blaine

82
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Gabbert Carson Palmer. That's Carson Palmer, Carson Palmer or Sam Bradford.

83
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I'm gonna go Sam Bradford

84
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: on that one. Yeah, I would. I would roll the

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: dice with a guy with a busted up ankle against

86
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: an aggressive Cowboys defense. There isn't there isn't. Thank you.

87
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Well if he plays, I still liked, uh, Kevin Cobb

88
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: or Carson Palmer. That's tough that. I you know what

89
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: I know. I know you're down on Combe. I'm down

90
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: on Cob, but I think I'd go with Cobb just

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: because he's been the offense. He went to training camp.

92
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna turn it around against the Steelers. He's not

93
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: not against the Steelers, all right. I think they could

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: McCoy or Carson Palmer. Well this week I'll go call

95
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: I like Jay Cutler or Carson Palmer. I think that's

96
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: even Stephen. So we just talked about a handful of

97
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that you just started Carson Palmer over Well, I

98
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: only gave you only if you have like Matt Moore,

99
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: or if you have one of the Redskins quarterbacks, if

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: you have a real bottom feeder, Yeah, go out, Mark

101
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: Sanchez or Carson Palmer. This week, well, I think against

102
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: the Chargers, who have allowed very few fantasy points to quarterbacks,

103
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: I go Carson Palmer. I'll go Sanchez. And of course

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: you're a Jets fan. Nineteen fantasy points last week and

105
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't even that great. Today FABS makes a good

106
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: point of the Dolphins. I think I'd still go Sanchez,

107
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: only because Carson has been on a couch. Man. I'm

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: talking about this week now long term I sit on

109
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live today that if we're going long term

110
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year and I've got Sanchez

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: on my team, I would drop Sanchez. Do you remember

112
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: a few years ago when Vinny Testaverdi came off of

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: his couch and hadn't played football in like a year

114
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and a half and started I believe it was for

115
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers and had a good game. Yes, but

116
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: no reason why Carson Palmer take the same thing. Three

117
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: he was who cares what Carson Palmer is not wiser Carson.

118
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: Look Carson Palmer. I think his best fantasy names are

119
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: hid him regardless. No, I agree with you to whether

120
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: or not he can do it this week. This is

121
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a guy who was last was great like four or

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: five years ago. Last year he was middle of the

123
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: pack in the NFL. He had better receivers. All I'm saying, guys,

124
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: is that there are quarterbacks out there that people are using.

125
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: That Carson Palmer is a better option. Then that's all

126
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not saying start him over Roethlisberger or

127
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: Romo or even Matt Ryan who has been a disappointment,

128
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: or Freeman or Shop or any of those guys. But

129
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: there's quarterback Listen. I'm in a league where I drafted

130
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and at the time I thought I was

131
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: brilliant because I got him in the fifth round, and

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: that completely blew up in my face. My quarterbacks are

133
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: basically switching in and out every single week based on matchups.

134
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I may have to start Carson Barmber this week, and

135
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Let me just throw this out to you, guys.

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Obviously this is can't happen but Jason Campbell or Carson Palmer,

137
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: because Campbell has not been a disappointment this year fantasy wise.

138
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: But that's that that's not that's not stoop the reality right. Well,

139
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: the point that I'm making is that look at the

140
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: options that he has to throw to the same guys

141
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: that Campbell does. I think FABS is right. I think

142
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Palmer is better than some of the options that are

143
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: out there. But at the end of the day, his

144
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: best receiver so far has been Darius Syward Bay. Darius

145
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay is a great plan of bye week, Okay,

146
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: But is Darius Heyward Bay a legit top ten fantasy

147
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: receiver this season? I don't think he's not legit top ten,

148
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: but is he? Is he a legit start? Yeah? I

149
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: mean I would love to have I would be very

150
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: happy if I had Darius Heyward Bay is my flex.

151
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: I'd be every shade and happy if he was numbered,

152
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: if he was my number two. But I'd be very

153
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: happy right now if he was my flex every week. Yeah,

154
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. About that pencil and d HB. As

155
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: you're starting flex from here until a week, you know,

156
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I'd be playing the matchups. But I wouldn't be afraid

157
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: to start him. Always play the match up I think,

158
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, matchup based started, Yes, But what I is

159
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: he a pencil and every week guy, I don't think so.

160
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: And we're talking about the best receiver on the Raiders.

161
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: We're not even getting, you know, deeper into their team.

162
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: So part of my issue is Palmer is a start.

163
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Is not Palmer himself, it's the weapons he has there.

164
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the best weapon the

165
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Raiders have is number twenty in the backfield. It's NFL

166
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live on Sirius two ten x M eight seven

167
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Elliott Harrison, Michael Fabiano from the NFL Network

168
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: and NFL dot Com. Number is eight x M Fantasy

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: going through all the big news of the day, and

170
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: we had the breaking news earlier today, guys, and I

171
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: guess I was just very happy that we actually got

172
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the breaking news. Last week, we found out on Sunday

173
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: morning that Tim hid Tower was going to start for

174
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. Ryan Touraine wind up starting, Mike Shanahan,

175
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Today we find out On Beck

176
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the quarterback in Washington. I don't

177
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: think this means we're gonna get a big switch. Ru

178
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: went back to Rex gross Went on Sunday. But here

179
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: we have now a new quarterback in Washington, Santana Moss,

180
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to rain the running games there. How does this move

181
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: affect the weapons right now in Washington because obviously you're

182
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: not picking up John Beck and starting it. But has

183
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: affect everybody else? Listen. I had said earlier in the

184
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: season to play Rex Grossman if you need a quarterback

185
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: based on the matchups. Uh, And that worked out pretty

186
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: well for a few weeks. And then Rex turned into

187
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman. Uh. Remember he was. He reverted back to

188
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: the lousy, turnover prone quarterback that we all knew and

189
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: loved or hated, depending on if you started him on

190
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. I don't think it affects Santana Moss

191
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: because I just don't like Santana Moss. He was a

192
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: bust on my preseason bust list on NFL dot Com.

193
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: He's all there nothing. Uh. The matchup this week is

194
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: not good. Carolina is tough against wide receivers Ryan Terrain.

195
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: I still play him. I still play in this week.

196
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I think Beck being in there is good news for

197
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: Fred Davis he's not gonna go deep. He's going to

198
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: be looking for those short and intermediate passes in the

199
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: middle of the field. And with Chris Coolie out, I

200
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: think fred Davis's values on the rise. But the Redskins

201
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: are not a huge play in fantasy these days anyways.

202
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of big stars there. Yeah, I

203
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: like fred Davis and and that that's the one guy

204
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I like the most simply because I think it doesn't

205
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: matter who the quarterback is. Because he he did well

206
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: with Rex Grossman. He stayed during the bye week to

207
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: get treatment work out with Rex Grossman. Rex gets benched,

208
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: he still winds up with the nearly hundred yard day.

209
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: I think the arrows going up for fred Davis, regardless,

210
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: he's the guy actually like the most on the team.

211
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Right now, you guys just made so many points about

212
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: the Redskins. All I can say at this point they

213
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: were burgundy and gold. But yeah, to the point of

214
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: fred Davis that may wind up being the best point.

215
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: Comes Sunday, Well, when't you know something to add their

216
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Chris Coolie injury problems. So fred Davis is the guy.

217
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: I do agree that Beck's going to be checking the

218
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: ball down and one thing to go back to Heyward Bay.

219
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Fred Davis has almost as many fantasy points as Darius

220
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay does. Just a thought. So when you talk

221
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: about a clear reflex star of the rest of the year,

222
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: if I said, hey, would you put Fred Davis in

223
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: your flex for the rest of the year, You'd be like,

224
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: no Way. But they're not that far apart. I'll tell

225
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: you fred Davis is. I don't know why people dropped

226
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: him because he was great the first couple of weeks,

227
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: and then he had a couple of down weeks and

228
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: suddenly he was available in over fifty percent. People cut

229
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: bait on tight ends like that, and now it's like, well,

230
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the He's one of the most picked

231
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: up guys on the list. Let's get to Christian Ponder.

232
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: The other news the last twenty four hours, Christian Ponder

233
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: takes over as a starting quarterback in Minnesota for Donovan McNabb.

234
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that this means a lot for anybody

235
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, simply because Percy Harvin has been disappointing and

236
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is finding it tough sledding. Uh, it can't

237
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: be any worse because McNabb has been awful. I mean, look,

238
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: he's at the end of the road as far as

239
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: being a quarterback in the NFL goes. Ponder is gonna

240
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: be able to get out of the pocket and make

241
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: plays with his legs. But I don't know, Elliot, do

242
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: you think this affects you know, this good bad news

243
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: for anybody else on Minnesota? Oh boy, that's that is

244
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: a tough one. Does it affect Shanko? I you know

245
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a really tough one. But let me

246
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: say this about Pondered. So easy to poopoo a rookie

247
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: quarterback and say, oh, he's not gonna do anything. He's

248
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: facing Dom Caper's defense. You know a couple of positives.

249
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: The guy can make plays with his legs. We saw

250
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: that against Chicago the other night. Chances are they're gonna

251
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: be down three to the Packers, which means what they're

252
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the ball if it's not there,

253
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: If he doesn't know his reads, what's he gonna do.

254
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna tuck the ball and run, which, oh, by

255
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: the way, gets you fantasy points. I know, no one

256
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: is gonna start Ponder unless they're absolutely freaking desperate. But

257
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to be so quick to just completely

258
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: pooh poo the guy as a fantasy quarterback. I don't

259
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: think anyone expected any Dalton to do as well as

260
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: he has. Certainly no one thought Cam Newton was gonna

261
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: do well when we talked about Cam Newton facing the

262
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Packers in Week two. He actually had an incredible fantasy day.

263
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: So I I guess I'm taking the positives out on

264
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: ponder because it's so easy to deep six the kid.

265
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I wanna I'll say the same thing. Rookie quarterbacks have

266
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: played well this year. Uh. The rules have certainly affected,

267
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: uh the quality of play and the quality of the

268
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: statistics from quarterbacks. But namely, the last Florida State quarterback

269
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: that was any good in the fl Charlie Ward, wasn't

270
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: that good. He's a point guard for the New York

271
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of people, you know, think

272
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: that this sort of a stereotypical point of view. I

273
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: look at where, especially at quarterbacks, where these guys went

274
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: to school. Uh. I knew David Card was a horrible

275
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: pick because of where he went to school. Uh numbers

276
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: were inflated. David Klingler, same thing, Andre Ware, same thing,

277
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Achille Smith, same thing, and any Notre Dame quarterbacks that

278
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: come out, I wouldn't touch him if I was a

279
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: GM with a ten foot poll and Jimmy Clausen proved

280
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: that last year. He's not any good. Christian Pinder went

281
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: to a school that does not produce good quarterbacks in

282
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the NFL level. And while I don't think this is

283
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: a bad move for Percy Harvard Adrian Peterson because McNab

284
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: was clearly just terrible, maybe it's even a little bit

285
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: of an upgrade to those guys, because maybe Ponder will

286
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: be able to do some more things running around the

287
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: pocket behind the questionable offensive line. Christian Ponder is not

288
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: somebody that I'm seeing making any sort of Tim Tebow, uh,

289
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton or even Andy Dalton impact. Well, I'm just

290
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: curious now that you named all these guys, did you

291
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: think Browning Nagle was gonna be It was gonna be

292
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: a bus coming opening game against Atlanta and then he

293
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: just fell off Like it's it's weird that GM's in

294
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the in the National Football League. Don't pick up on

295
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: this because if if somebody like me, who I couldn't

296
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: be a jam In the NFL, you know, save my life,

297
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: no chance about it. Fantasy football is about as far

298
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: as I'm going, right. But these quarterbacks that come from

299
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: schools that just aired out constantly and spread it around,

300
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: and they all all they do is throw it, It

301
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: just seems and Florida State guys, Notre Dame guys. Um,

302
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: it's just odd to me that, especially the Vikings, would

303
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: go that high on a guy from a school that

304
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: again does not produce good NFL quarterbacks. Well, let me

305
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: let me go to the point, let me go step

306
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: further on this too. Was as far as Christian Ponder goes, yeah,

307
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: I didn't like him, as I thought it was a reach.

308
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I thought what happened in the draft was the Vikings

309
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: saw the run on quarterback starting and said, well, we

310
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: gotta get our guy, so they panicked and took Christian Ponder.

311
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: But you can succeed as a rookie in the NFL

312
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: and fantasy Where do I us? If you are put

313
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: in a position to succeed? Look at Cam Newton. Was

314
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton on a really bad team or was he

315
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: on a team that just had a really bad year.

316
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: He was on a team that had a really bad year.

317
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: Because it was just two years ago. They had a

318
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: great running attack, Their offensive line was pretty good. You

319
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: had a top ten wide receiver and Steve Smith. So yeah,

320
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: you can put Cam Newton in there. It's not like

321
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna put him behind an offensive line it's gonna

322
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: get him killed. Newton can evade sacks, keep plays alive, run,

323
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: and he's a gold line guy. Boom. That's fine. Same

324
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: thing with Andy Dalton. You throw Andy Dalton in there.

325
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: The offensive line is okay, you got a running back

326
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: you can depend on in Cedric Benson, you drafted aj Green.

327
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Your defense is lights out, and you can tell early

328
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: on this defense is gonna help us make plays and

329
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: and and and keep our guys on the field. So

330
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: you go Andy Dalton. But now you got Christian Ponder.

331
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: You're throwing him in He's gonna be running for his life.

332
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not in a position to succeed. He's

333
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: got no playmakers. Maybe a little bit of street ball

334
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and he's able to to make some plays and get

335
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: out of the pod and throw a couple of deep

336
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: passes to Percy Harvard, but he's not in a position

337
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: to succeed. And that's why I don't like him saying, Okay, yeah,

338
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: put Ponder in there. Maybe he can make plays and

339
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: run and be the next great rookie quarterback. Let me

340
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: let me just ask you. I s this If I said,

341
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Christian Ponder this week throws for a hundred eighty yards,

342
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown and no interceptions. Is that a stretch and

343
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a great week for him? Okay? I hundred?

344
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: That's agree that fabs. Is that realistic that he's very

345
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: careful with the ball, throws for a hundred and eighty yards,

346
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: not much in a touchdown? Okay, sure, absolutely not much.

347
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: So we're talking that's like seven point two points plus

348
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: a touchdowns eleven point two using NFL dot com scoring.

349
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: What if he scrambles for fifty five yards on top

350
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: of that, Now, all of a sudden, you have a

351
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: guy that just got you sixteen points plus. Well you're

352
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: not you're not looking at the three interceptions, just gonna

353
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, that's a perfect world for him, That's a

354
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: perfect Dalton was going to do that too, and Andy

355
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Dalton was pretty careful with the football. You know, he

356
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: didn't put up the big numbers the first couple of weeks,

357
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: but he didn't throw any interceptions. I don't think in

358
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: either of his first two starts, right, he but he

359
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: did become a real viable fantasy quarterback until about three

360
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: or four weeks, and now he is. He's had a

361
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: bunch of weeks. Look, I played him last week. He

362
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: got me nineteen points, Like nineteen is the magic number

363
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton. But I just think, ponder, I'd like

364
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: to see it. Look, I'm not rooting against the kid.

365
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him do it. I just think

366
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: in reality, he's gonna throw picks. He's gonna be overwhelmed

367
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: when he comes in and sees and sees NFL defenses,

368
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: how they how they played fast for the first time.

369
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: When we talk about not coming off the bench going

370
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: and cold, when you have time to prepare and they

371
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: have had time to prepare for you. I'd love to

372
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: see it. I just don't see it. Well, let's stay

373
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: in the division. That Ronnie Brown trade obviously wasn't near

374
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: as big as the Brandon Lloyd deal, certainly not as

375
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: big as Carson Palmer. What effect do you think it

376
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: has on the Lions and fantasy owners. I think this

377
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: week Morris Morris is the guy to get off the

378
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: waiver wire if you need to replace job at Best

379
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: because I don't think he's gonna play um with the

380
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: concussion issues. The problem is that won't play job Best.

381
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Who did I say, I don't know. Maybe you did

382
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: say he said Billy Sims wouldn't play space. Um. So

383
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: the thing is that maybe Ronnie Brown comes in and

384
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: sees the goal line work. Is it a committee of

385
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: two guys that are backups? And that causes a lot

386
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: of confusion from a fantasy respective Morris knows the offense,

387
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: Brown doesn't. Maybe down the road, Ronnie Brown is the

388
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: better handcuff, which I think will probably happen. But this week,

389
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: Maurice Morris, I think is a better flex play. But again, uh,

390
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: I think they're going to throw the ball a lot.

391
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: I think the Lions will chuck it all over the

392
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: place against Atlanta. Yeah, I like Brown as a handcuff

393
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: if you have job at Best Because obviously the Lions

394
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: are worried about his health. How many times can we

395
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: give him the football until he may break down or

396
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: get hurt? And I think they've they've seen that a

397
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: big scare with a concussion, Like let's bring a guy

398
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: and we can give the goal line carriage to the

399
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: short guardage carries too. I like Brown going forward. I

400
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: get him as a handcuff. I don't know if i'd

401
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: play Hi unless you have injury problems, but yeah, if

402
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: you have a room on your bench, I go get him.

403
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, you guys have to listen to me spin

404
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Yarn about this on Fantasy Live on NFL Network. So

405
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: I apologize, but don't you think at some point the

406
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: Lions have got to be cognizant of not putting everything

407
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: on Stafford given his injury history. And as if I

408
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't have Stafford, and you know, either one of

409
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: my leagues, but I would worry about that if I

410
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: was an owner, that my quarterback who's getting me all

411
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: these points is gonna get hurt. I think this is

412
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Stafford's year three in the NFL, and I think this

413
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: is time to say, if you're ever gonna put it

414
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: on his shoulders, it's time to do it now. Look,

415
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt, your Seaton has done regardless. We

416
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: saw what happen when you got hurt the last couple

417
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: of years. Yeah, you gotta you gotta find out you Look,

418
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: you're our guy. You're a franchise guy. We started out

419
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: five and oh we had a bit of a lefdown

420
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: last week, played a pretty good defense coming off a

421
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: big emotional Monday Night win. I'm fine with putting everything

422
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: on Stafford Scholes. I'm fine if I'm a fantasy owner

423
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: and I got Stafford and I say, okay, you know what,

424
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: I want to trade my really good backup for somebody else,

425
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: I'll go do it because I'll ride with Matthew Stafford

426
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: and how it goes, it goes. Which, by the way,

427
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: Stafford did not have a bad game against the forty Niners. No,

428
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: it's a few a couple of couple of yards short

429
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: of three hundred, you know, but it was just, you know,

430
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: it's a come down week because of what happened on

444
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: talking different kind of fantasy. They're photos of Lindsay Lohan

445
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: in handcuffs on TMZ. Yeah, you're supposed to be looking

446
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: up fantasy stuff and you're looking at photos handcuffs. Is

447
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: that doc and weirdest? Yes, George Lynch is one of

448
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: the most underrated guitars or quarter or quarterback quarterbacks. I'm

449
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: I'm powerful Ward. Why didn't you bring him up with

450
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: the Carson Palmer discussion? Look, do you want to start

451
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: George Lenz or Carson I'm going George Lynch. I think

452
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: George Lynch is more overrated than Carson. Paul, You're crazy.

453
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: Not a docking guy. I've never been a guitar in here.

454
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I always look at my guitar when I'm playing, and

455
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: then you look at me. And that's very weird because

456
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: when the guys when in those videos. My oldest brother

457
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: has a name for when the guys would look at

458
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: their guitars like that and smile, is like they couldn't

459
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: believe their own awesomeness. You know they're playing well. I

460
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: think Tim Tebow falls into that category. Yeah, I have

461
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: I have tebow fever. I have low hand fever, but

462
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I have tebow fever. Also, you know, he's a guy

463
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: this week. Everybody had to pick him up last week

464
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: because going to the boy, he sees that kind of

465
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: fantasy monster. I got him like his my number four

466
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: or five quarterback this week. And you look with the

467
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: boys going obviously had a couple of huge guys on

468
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: a bike, but there's not many guys I would play

469
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: over Tebow this I have him as my six. And

470
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: let's look at the numbers, because that's what fantasy football

471
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: is all about, is the numbers. Three starts last year,

472
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: lad all players and fantasy points during that time averaged

473
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: over twenty fantasy points a game, average about eleven fantasy

474
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: points a game per half this year, played one half

475
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: less than one half against the Chargers, scores almost sixteen

476
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points and out scores Tom Brady, Darren mcfann and

477
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: Roddy White, who had played the entire game. Tim Tebow

478
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: is potentially your fantasy savior. I'm in a league where

479
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: you have to put up waiver wire bids. I've been

480
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: fifty two dollars on them because my quarterback situation is

481
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: a little shaky. I really believe in this guy. And

482
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, who just they stink. I mean, their

483
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: defense is horrible. Uh, Tebow is gonna be fired up

484
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: to play in Florida, where he went to college, where

485
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: he found so much success. Maybe the Broncos lose the game.

486
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. They probably win against the Dolphins, but

487
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: Tebow is gonna put up some points. Look, I'm thinking

488
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow for this this week. Two yards passing fifty

489
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: yards rushing, and this is conservative. Two under yards passing

490
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: fifty yards rushing, a touchdown throwing the football, touchdown one

491
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: of the football. That's over a twenty point week even

492
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: if being conservative for Tebow. But see you missed something

493
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: right there. What about the extra two point five points

494
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: you get when he does the unnecessary three sixty spin

495
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: move on the past like that, and it makes him

496
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: even more appealing by the way, call us a shameless plug,

497
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: but it's a shameless plug for you guys. You guys

498
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: never tell our listeners how they can find your rankings

499
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Fantasy. Well, hey, that's it. There

500
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: you go, And in fact we'll get to Michael Fabiano

501
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: starts and sits coming up in a bit, still rated

502
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: number one, the number one start six percentage across the

503
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: nation for all fantasy experts. Gave us some great starts

504
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: and said stuff last week. We'll get to that coming

505
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: up in the show as well. Give me point total

506
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: right now, Tim Tebow, right now before we get to

507
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Tim high tower Tebow right now, point total this week,

508
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty three fantasy points before we get to another Tim

509
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: that we talk way too much about Tim Tebow. Do

510
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: you say twenty three. I'm gonna have to go a

511
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: little lower than that. I think high teens. I'll go

512
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: a little high. I'll go that's a big game. But

513
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's the Dolphins, and the Dolphins are horrible.

514
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: Think Cam Newton. He doesn't have the big arm like

515
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton does, but he certainly has a screambling ability.

516
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna get all those goal line carras and that

517
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: other Tim that e h had mentioned was Tim high Tower,

518
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: who returned to a full practice on Wednesday, and it

519
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: looks like the Redskins backfield situation just getting continue to

520
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: frustrate fantasy owners. Mike Shanahan said earlier in the week

521
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: that high Tower won't play until his show older is

522
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: back to well. If he's back at practice, maybe that

523
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: shoulder is getting healthier, which means that against the Panthers,

524
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: who have a lot more fantasy points of running backs

525
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: than any team in the National Football League, we as

526
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: fantasy owners are hung out to dry. Do you start

527
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Terrain? Do you start Tim high Tower? Does Roy

528
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: hallou have any sort of value? I can I can

529
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: stay with confidence that Mike Shanahan is the most hated

530
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: coach in fantasy football. You know, I'm gonna channel my

531
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: interer Adam Rank here since he replaced me on the

532
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: show last week. Thanks for welcoming me back. By the way,

533
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Jason Helliott, I've seen you every day since then. I've

534
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: seen you every day since next wednesdayce next Wednesday. But

535
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: Adam Rank calls him Shannahannigans and what else can you say?

536
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: It's the the perfect comment for him. But we've got

537
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: Chris in New Hampshire, who's been sitting waiting very patiently,

538
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Chris Young Lina here, you got a pretty good trade question.

539
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Yes I do, I do, Thank you, gentlemen. I'll start

540
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: off by saying, I think I may be addicted to

541
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: trade and so uh, I want to make sure I

542
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: don't do something that is unnecessary. UH. I have started

543
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: line up Stafford uh running back from pretty solid Adrian Peterson,

544
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: m J D and Flex. I have Menden Hall uh

545
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: tight end, I got Graham and then at the wide

546
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: receivers UM, I have pang Atron. So I'm set there.

547
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: I have to start three. I have Jordy Nelson and

548
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: Mike Williams Tampa Bay. Uh. Just I mean the disappointment

549
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: with Mike Williams. Uh, it's just terrible at this point.

550
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm sick of him. I want him off my team

551
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: or at least on the bench. I have Stafford and

552
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: big Ben. I start one quarterback. I'm thinking there's a

553
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: guy out there right now that UM has four solid

554
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I'd feel a j Green, Brandon Lloyd, Mike

555
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: Wallace and UM there's the fourth fourth one there started

556
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm losing my trade about there. But Uh, he's kind

557
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: of week at quarterback. So I was thinking of trade

558
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: and Stafford right now because my my waiver Wire also

559
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: has some secondary quarterbacks I can go out there and

560
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: get if I needed, h uh, the plug and play

561
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: with Big Ben and someone else at the third. Fourth

562
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: receiver is Anklan Bolden. Sorry, um, so I was thinking

563
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: of trying to trade Stafford over to him. Maybe package

564
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Stafford for um someone like a Wallace

565
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: and maybe a t Bow. He does have Tebow, but

566
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: he's kind of nervous with him. I'm just kind of

567
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: trying to think what your thoughts were. I would do

568
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: that if if you could get Mike Wallace and Tebow

569
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: in exchange for Roethlisberger and Williams. First off, you'd have

570
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: to wear one of those black things about trading Stafford Stafford. Okay, Um,

571
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: that I don't do. I mean as much to get

572
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Tebow back and Mike Wallace. But you're gonna play Calvin

573
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jordy Nelson. How many wide receivers do you start?

574
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: Three or two? I played three, so I had Calvin

575
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: Johnson Shorty Nelson. So Mike Williams has been your starter

576
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: Mike Williams has been my starter. You know what, First

577
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: I offer Roethlisberger, Uh, and Elliott you know my whole thing.

578
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: If you ain't trade and you ain't trying. But I

579
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: would try Roethlisberger first. Always low ball your your your

580
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: trade partner first, and then let them be mad and say,

581
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is a terrible offer, and then

582
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: come back with something stronger. So I would offer big

583
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: Ben and Williams for Wallace. I doubt the owner will

584
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: take that. I wouldn't even package Williams. I mean Stafford

585
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: for a while. It's straight up is pretty good. But

586
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: if you can get Tebow back. But let me tell

587
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: you something, Chris. When Fab says he would low ball first,

588
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: trust me, he means it. But as far I just

589
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: I just want to throw one thing out on Roethlisberger.

590
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: He plays a very The Steelers in general play a

591
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: very favorable schedule. Uh. They play the NFC West this year,

592
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: as does all the all the teams the NFC North.

593
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: His next couple of weeks, He's got Arizona Cardinals, then

594
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: New England. New England has had a lot of trouble

595
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: stopping opposing passing games. Uh. You know, Roethlisberger would not

596
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: necessarily be a bad guy. Obviously, if you're getting Tebow,

597
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: you probably start Tebow most of the time. But I'm saying,

598
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: if you have to start Roethlisberger considering their schedule, it's

599
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: not a bad player. And if it's a one for

600
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: one and you do trade Stafford, do not take anything

601
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: less than Mike Wallace. Yeah, I totally agree. And at

00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: That's coming up next serious XM Fantasy Sports Radio. You know,

612
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: guys starting to buy it. It's boy, it's really it's

613
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: it's really not as many as liked as you would

614
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: like that Bradford has not been good this year. Curtis Painter,

615
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: not a lot of faith in name Sanchez, inconsistent, Cobb

616
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: has been terrible his last two games. Devirus Jackson or

617
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: Charlie Whitehurst, Matt Moore. I mean, and you've got Eli

618
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: off this week, You've got Tom Brady off this week.

619
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: You've got some really good quarterbacks that won't be available

620
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: to you. So again, I think Josh Freeman is a

621
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: good start. Give me, give me a point total. If

622
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: you're starting one of if you're going out, you're starting

623
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: a guy off your bench, you're starting a guy off

624
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Give me a point total that you

625
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: can expect to say, Okay, this is a good week

626
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: from my backup quarterback. I think playing this, I think

627
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: if you can get fifteen points from your quarterback, that's

628
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: a good week. If you're getting standard four points for

629
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown, I think that's very good. I would

630
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: never sneeze at somebody who scores fifteen Fantasy points at

631
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, especially if it's a guy like a Freeman,

632
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: or if it's a guy like a Cutler or a

633
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan who haven't been real consistent this season. Fifteen

634
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: points to me without your number one quarterback in there,

635
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: whether it's because of injury or by I take that

636
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: all day long. Yeah. I think if you're over two

637
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: hundred and two touchdowns, anything else is gravy. Now you

638
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: gotta realize you're gonna get a couple of picks in there. Whatever.

639
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: But I think if you over two hundred and two touchdowns, Elliott,

640
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, don't get you. You You can't say, oh boy,

641
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: this guy to do it. That's pretty good. I agree.

642
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting that you use fifteen as you're

643
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: line of demarcation there because Matt money Smith, who's obviously

644
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live with Us on NFL Network. Uh,

645
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: and I did our projections for j Cutler and Josh Freeman,

646
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: and we had Cutler coming in at fourteen point nine,

647
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: the two of us. We had Freeman coming in at

648
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: ten point nine. So we have Freeman much lower than

649
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: you guys do and Cutler were right at that cup.

650
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you guys both like Freeman over Cutler.

651
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah this week. Yeah, but it's close though, I mean

652
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: it's close. I mean I'm not I'm not I'm not

653
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: upset if I'm saying, okay, color I think it's close.

654
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: Freeman's coming off the bigger week. Obviously, we think they're

655
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football a little bit more. But you

656
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: know what, they get the ball to Earnest Graham a

657
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: lot last week. I don't know, I don't know I

658
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: can do it to them again. What's funny is that,

659
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: especially with are Johnson out, you've got you've got a

660
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: pocket of quarterbacks about five guys Freeman, shop Flacco, Ryan

661
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Cutler that you can get a great game one week

662
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: and just an absolute stinker the next week. Uh, those

663
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: guys have not been seriously consistent this season. So you

664
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: play the matchups and you roll the dice, and and

665
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: that's what you're left with, especially during the bi weeks

666
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: and XM Fantasy eight eight eight, nine, six three to

667
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: six eight two. And then we get through to us

668
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, and Elliot Harrison from the NFL

669
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Network and NFL dot Com Ball in New Jersey. You're

670
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: an NFL Fantasy Live. What do you got time Team

671
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: nine PPR League. My starting running backs are gonna be

672
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: Graham and Peterson. I need two wide receivers and a

673
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: flex from the following four choices. I got Nate Washington,

674
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin, Eric Decker, and mark Ingram. You need three

675
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: of those four. Leave out I leave out Nate Washington. Man.

676
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: I just don't like Nate Washington. Ever since Kenny. I know,

677
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Elliott's already laughing because he does like Nate Washington. But

678
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: ever since Britt's gone down, Nate Washington's production has gone

679
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: down because he's drawn the number one corner from the

680
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: opposing team. And if you look at Nate Washington production

681
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: while he's been with the Tennessee Titans and the number one,

682
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: he's not very good. It's not very good. I mean,

683
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: Justin Gage was actually a better fantasy actor than him.

684
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: Uh for a I'm there with the Tennessee Titans. I

685
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: like the matchup with mark Ingram against the Colts. I

686
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: like the matchup with Decker, who's now the number one

687
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Broncos playing against the Dolphins. Percy

688
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Harvin I don't particularly care for but I like him

689
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: more than in Nate Washington only because he's going to

690
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: be a guy who will give you some rushing yards potentially.

691
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: And again I'm just I'm not a Nate Washington guy. Yeah,

692
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: That's where I came down. To for me too, between

693
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: Harvard and Washington. With Harvon didn't have a week to week,

694
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: and with Washington, I thought he would do better as

695
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver. Your point is, well, take

696
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: him that he's always double covered. Right. Well, let me

697
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: just throw this out here since I got called out

698
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: here by my co host for liking Nate Washington. The

699
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: reason I like you, I like actually the other co host,

700
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: the Italian one. Uh. The reason I like Nate Washington

701
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: is because they're playing the Texans, and the Texans had

702
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: trouble getting to Flacco last week. Flacco was able to

703
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: complete some deep, deep balls and and uh, I just

704
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: see the Titans being able to do that to Nate

705
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: or with Nate Washington this weekend. Eric Decker. I have

706
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: Eric Decker on my team. I want Eric Decker to

707
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: be good, But the reality is he caught two passes

708
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: for negative four yards last week and he's got a

709
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: new quarterback in there. Until I see that he and

710
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: Tebow has some kind of connection, then I actually trust

711
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: hassleback to Washington more than I do Tebow to Decker.

712
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: So for me, the decision would come down between Harvin

713
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: and Decker as opposed to Harvin and Washington. What say you, Jason?

714
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: It comes down to me between Harvard and Nate Washington,

715
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: and I like Nate Washington more. Look, Tebow's got to

716
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball to somebody. Eric Decker has proven he's

717
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, maybe de Marius Thomas, but with

718
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Lloyd out of the equation, he has to throw

719
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: the football to Eric Decker. Percy Harvin, I'm not convinced

720
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: that going into this week suddenly he's gona a big

721
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: week From Christian Ponder, I have more confidence, if I'm

722
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: talking about getting points from anybody, I have more confidence

723
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: than Nate Washington will get in the end zone than

724
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: I will Percy Harvon. So for me, it comes down

725
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: to that Ingra I'm not a big fan of, but

726
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: he has been in the end zone the last couple

727
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: of weeks. Maybe he's starting to get it. But yeah,

728
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: for me, it comes down to I just I don't

729
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't trust Nate Washington. That's just me. Eight eight

730
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: eight XM NFC eight at eight nine six three to

731
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: six eight two Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Elliot Harrison from

732
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, the NFL Network, also NFL dot Com

733
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll get to some big starts and

734
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: sits four running backs also continue to help you set

735
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup, as NFL Fantasy Live on series two

Speaker 1: ten x seven rolls on can be available to you.

737
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: So again, I think Josh Freeman is a good start.

738
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: Give me, give me a point total if you're starting

739
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: one of if you're going out and you're starting a

740
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: guy off your bench, you're starting a guy with the

741
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: waiver wire, give me a point total that you can

742
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: expect to say, Okay, this is a good week from

743
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: my backup quarterback. I think playing this, I think if

744
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: you can get fifteen points from your quarterback, that's a

745
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: good week. If you're getting standard four points for a

746
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: passing touchdown, I think that's very good. I would never

747
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: sneeze at somebody who scores fifteen fantasy points at the

748
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: quarterback position, especially if it's a guy like a Freeman,

749
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: or if it's a guy like a Cutler or a

750
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan who haven't been real consistent this season. Fifteen

751
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: points to me without your number one quarterback in there,

752
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: whether because of injury or by I take that all

753
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: day long. Yeah. I think if you're over two hundred

754
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Anything else is gravy. Now, I gotta

755
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: realize you're gonna get a couple of picks in there. Whatever.

756
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: But I think if you over two hundred and two touchdowns, Elliott,

757
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: I think, okay, don't get you can't say, oh boy,

758
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: this guy to do it, that's pretty good. I agree.

759
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting that you use fifteen as you're

760
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: line of demarcation there because Matt money Smith, who's obviously

761
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live with Us on NFL Network, he

762
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: and I did our projections for j Cutler and Josh Freeman,

763
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: and we had Cutler coming in at fourteen point nine,

764
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: the two of us, we had Freeman coming in at

765
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: ten point nine. So we have Freeman much lower than

766
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: you guys do. And Cutler were right at that cup.

767
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you guys both like Freeman over Cutler.

768
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah this week. Yeah, but it's close though, I mean

769
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: it's close. I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not

770
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: upset if I'm saying, okay, color, I think it's close.

771
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: Freeman's coming off the bigger week. Obviously, we think they're

772
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football a little bit more. But you

773
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: know what, they get the ball to Earnest Graham a lot.

774
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: Last week he ran over. I don't know, I don't know.

775
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: I could do it to him again. What's funny is that,

776
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: especially with are Johnson out, you've got you've got a

777
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: pocket of quarterbacks about five guys Freeman, Shop Flacco, Ryan

778
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: Cutler that you can get a great game one week

779
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: and just an absolute stinker the next week. Uh, those

780
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: guys have not been seriously consistent this season. So you

781
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: play the matchups, and you roll the dice, and and

782
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: that's what you're left with, especially during the bio weeks

783
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: XM Fantasy three to six, eight two. And then we

784
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: get through to us Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, and Elliot

785
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Harrison from the NFL Network and NFL dot Com Ball

786
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. You're an NFL Fantasy Live. What do

787
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: you got time team? Not PR League. My starting running

788
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: backs are gonna be Graham and Peterson. I need two

789
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers and a flex from the following four choices.

790
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: I got Date Washington, Percy Harvin, Eric Decker and mark Ingram.

791
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: You need three of those four? Correct? Who do I

792
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: leave out? I leave out Nate Washington Man I just

793
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: don't like Nate Washington ever since Kenny. I know Elliott's

794
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: already laughing because he does like Nate Washington. But ever

795
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: since Britt's gone down, Nate Washington's production has gone down

796
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: because he's drawn the number one corner from the opposing team.

797
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: And if you look at Nate Washington's production while he's

798
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: been with the Tennessee Titans and the number one, he's

799
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: not very good. It's not very good. I mean, Justin

800
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: Gage was actually a better fantasy actor than him, uh

801
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: for a time there with the Tennessee Titans. I like

802
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: the matchup with mark Ingram against the Colts. I like

803
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: the matchup with Decker who's now the number one wide

804
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: receiver for the Broncos playing against the Dolphins. Percy Harvin

805
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't particularly care for, but I like him more

806
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: than in Nate Washington only because he's going to be

807
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: a guy who will give you some rushing yards potentially.

808
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: And again I'm just I'm not a Nate Washington guy. Yeah,

809
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: That's where I came down to for me too, between

810
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: Harvan and Washington. With Harvon week to week and with Washington,

811
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: I thought he would do better as the number one

812
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Your point is well taken that he's always

813
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: double covered. Right. Well, let me just throw this out

814
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: here since I got called out here by my co

815
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: host for liking Nate Washington. The reason I like you,

816
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: I like actually the other co host, the Italian one. Uh.

817
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: The reason I like Nate Washington is because they're playing

818
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: the Texans, and the Texans had trouble getting to Flacco

819
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: last week. Flacco was able to complete some deep, deep

820
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: balls and and uh, I just see the Titans being

821
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: able to do that to Nate or with Nate Washington

822
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: this weekend. Eric Decker, I have Eric Decker on my team.

823
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: I want Eric Decker to be good, But the reality

824
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: is he caught two passes for negative four yards last week,

825
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: and he's got a new quarterback in there. Until I

826
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: see that he and Tebow have some kind of connection,

827
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: then I actually trust hassleback to Washington more than I

828
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: do Tibo to Decker. So for me, the decision would

829
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: come down between harvn and Decker as opposed to Harvan

830
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: and Washington. What say you, Jason? It comes down to

831
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: me between Harvard and Nate Washington, And I like Nate

832
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: Washington more look, Tebow's got to throw the ball to somebody.

833
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: Eric Decker has proven he's the guy. I mean, maybe

834
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: de Marius Thomas, but with Brandon Lloyd out of the equation,

835
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: he has to throw the football to a Decker. Percy Harvin,

836
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that going into this week suddenly he's

837
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: gonna a big week. From Christian Ponder, I have more

838
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: confidence if I'm talking about getting points from anybody, I

839
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: have more confidence than Nate Washington will get in the

840
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: end zone than I will Percy Harvon. So for me,

841
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: it comes down to that Ingram not a big fan

842
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: of but he has been in the end zone the

843
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, maybe starting to get it. But yeah,

844
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: for me, it comes down to I don't I don't

845
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: trust Nate Washington. That's just me. Eight eight eight XM

Speaker 1: top rated expert across the nation as far as started

859
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: six percentage, goes some running backs we like right there,

860
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys. I'll kick it off. I

861
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 1: like Jackie Battle, I've been saying for the last week. Look,

862
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: I love his potential because he is a guy who

863
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: there's once or twice a year there's that running back

864
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire who has that potential to be

865
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: a number one running back for the rest of the season.

866
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: Battles that guy. I think de Marco Murray could be

867
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: that guy in Dallas because Felix Jones is injury and

868
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: he's not been able to produce. But Fabs, there's guys

869
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: you'd like to and I know Ryan Matthews highlights that list. Yeah,

870
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean, your your Jets just not very good against

871
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: the run this year. There a lot of average of

872
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: about twenty two phasy points per game the running backs

873
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: that sixth month, and it looks like he's going to

874
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: be back. So Ryan Matthews a nice start, and you

875
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: gotta wrote Richard menten Hall as well, great game last

876
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: week and I think his success will continue against the Cardinals.

877
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: We mentioned mark Ingram is a good start. Jackie Battle

878
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: also maybe a flex play against the Raiders. We don't

879
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: know what's going on with the backfield situation. Washington keep

880
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: tabs on that, but I do think Ryan Duran, if

881
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: you're desperate you need a flex starter, you can roll

882
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: with him. And you mentioned de Marco Murray. I mean

883
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: he is a very nice sleep of this week. The

884
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Rams have been terrible against the run. We all know that,

885
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: although the Packers couldn't do anything against him last week.

886
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: But I think de Marco Murray because Felix Jones is

887
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: out for several weeks with that ankle, comes in and

888
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: sees a lot of targets, a lot of touches, maybe

889
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: two Shark choice also plays a role in this offense.

890
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a flex starter in a deeper league, But

891
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: I go with upside. I go with youth. And I'm

892
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: going with Murray over Choice this week if I had

893
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: to pick one of the two. Yeah, I've been talking

894
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: up to Marco Murray. I think Jason Garrett starting to

895
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: trust him. We've seen him play. He played Week one

896
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Uh, he's gotten on the field. Uh

897
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, two shard Choice came in there. He put

898
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: the ball on the carpet and the first or second

899
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: quarter against the Patriots. And when you're a backup running

900
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: back and you're handling the ball five, six, eight times

901
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: a game, tops, you can't fumble. You just you can't

902
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: do it because the coaches aren't gonna have confidence in you.

903
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: I think Murray is a guy who gets the majority

904
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: of the plays there. But we do have one caller

905
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: on the line, Brian in Chicago. Brian, what's up man? Hey?

906
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: Thanks take him a call. I appreciate it. Hey. I'm

907
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm friving one of my league right now. I've been

908
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: doing really good, but this by league is killing me.

909
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: I got like Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson, Bradshaw all on

910
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: a buy so I'm really fighting for guys. I drafted

911
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: Daniel Thomas. I'm thinking about the pardon him. Um, but

912
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: I got Sydney Rice as my third receivers a flex.

913
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't really have any other options to really go

914
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: with unless I go to waiver wire. Do you think

915
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: I should just roll with that instead of making any

916
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: transactions or should I go for the waiver wire and

917
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: maybe go after that Murray kid from Dallas and drop

918
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: somebody else on my on my roster. I'm just I

919
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: don't really want to just you know, suck it up

920
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: for one week and you know, possibly take a loss

921
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: because I'm doing pretty well in my league. I'm finally

922
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: with the most points scored so far, you know, and

923
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to just like nail it in for

924
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: a week, you know, right, Brian, Well, I I you know,

925
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: I'll just say this before I let Jason Fabs get

926
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: to it. Then. I don't know that Sydney Rice is

927
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: a horrible play against the Browns. I agree with you, Jason.

928
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: I could see some points being scored in that game.

929
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: I like DeMarco Murray, but that doesn't mean that he's

930
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna out of warm, right. So I don't think when

931
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: you say should you go to the waiver wire and

932
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: get to Marco Murray, I'm not sold that he's necessarily

933
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna outproduce Sidney Rice because Sydney Rice, like him or not,

934
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: is a number one option in Seattle. But I'll defer

935
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: to you guys. But he Here's the thing is I

936
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: like de Marco Murray going forward. I think he's gonna

937
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: keep this job. Fabs, I think, you know, Felix Jones

938
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: is hurt. He's not. He's gonna be out about a month.

939
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: They don't trust a sharp choice. He's a guy that's

940
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: gonna be He's not a Bernard Scott who's gonna play

941
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: one week when Cedric Benson serves aspension, that's gonna be

942
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: back to Cedric Benson. I think he's a guy going forward.

943
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: I'd go out and get him. I think you have

944
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: to go and get him. I agree with Elliott, though,

945
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: I think Sidney Rice not a bad play at all. Uh.

946
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: You know, unless you've got just like you know, an

947
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: all star fantasy roster, there's gotta be somebody you can drop,

948
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: a second tight end, a second kicker or defense. Because

949
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people do that for some

950
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: unforeseen ca reason that I have no idea why. But

951
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: I still go out and get Murray and not not

952
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: at the expense of Sydney Rice. But there's gotta be

953
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: a spot that you can replace uh with Murray. So

954
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, drop Neil Rackers and go get to market

955
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,680
