Speaker 1: This show is run by the one and only lead

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: to lap our executive producer. We actually have games in

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: a full week of games to talk about, Mike Carmen.

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Week one did not disappoint well, at least for half

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the teams that won games in the National Football League.

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: But we look back on week one. It will also

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: look ahead and get set for Thursday night with Brown's

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Bengals taking place in Cleveland. Guys, you gotta pick up guys.

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: He got to say goodbye to and sort out everything

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: that went on in Week one of the National Football League.

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: What a week it was, Mike. Now you know Dan,

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: going through the schedule, we saw highs lows, Fantasy owners

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: already pulling their hair out. Maybe the congratulatory text, maybe

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the derisive text all the way through. But for all

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of the drafts and time spent studying to get ready,

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: I mean, we certainly had one thriller after the next

44
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: for fantasy purposes, big point totals and some major colossal

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: fails along the way. Wow, let's quick hid what happened

46
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: on Monday Night with the Steelers, Giants, Titans, Brocos. Because

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: you talk about kickers. Gotskalski obviously the story ends up

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: being the guy in the end to win it for

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: the Titans. But what an absolute mess that was at

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Mile High with a likely Hall of Fame kicker At

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: some point, Man, it's gonna be first ballot, but maybe

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty years down the line, Stephen Gotskowski could be in

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Just a very very

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: rough night for the Titans kicker and a rough night

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: for Vic Fangio as well. Yeah, Monday Night football was

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: just absolutely insane with Stephen Gaskowski representing all things kickers.

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: He had three miss field goals, a miss p, a

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: T and then he finally gets to hit the game

59
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: winner to send the people at Mile High home with

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: their their heads hanging along and I say that metaphorically speaking,

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: since they're already in their homes. But you look at

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: the kicker position overall, seventeen miss field goals in sixty

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: five attempts. Standbyer, that's absolutely absurd. We're missing our kicks

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: in Week one. The only guy that I think that

65
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: you can look at that game and say, huh if

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: I if I wasn't in, and I mean I think

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: most people were, but it was kind of no offense

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: coming out party. But he was roster it anyway, so

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to to pick him up.

70
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: But otherwise there was nothing in that game. I don't

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: want anything to do with Corey Davis. I don't care

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: all great he was on Monday Night, not with that offense,

73
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: not with a J. Brown not getting his uh Adam

74
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Humphreys was a target. I just I wouldn't want anything

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: with Corey Davis. Don't waste any waiver moves on that. Uh.

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: The Steelers Giants game, I think, completely different story with

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Benny Snell and James Conner and his ankle injury. Even

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: when Connor was healthy, he didn't look right out there. Yeah,

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: obviously when we look at the Steelers, a lot of

80
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: high expectations for this team. Right They've got four guys

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: on the roster that are able to play. James Connor

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: obviously with the ankle injury, wasn't looking very good before that.

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Benny Snell comes in nineteen carries a hundred thirteen yards

84
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: and ripped off a thirty yard run, So a lot

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: of good things for them. A little bit concerning Zack Banner,

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: who wins the starting right tackle job, he ends up

87
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: leaving having to be helped off by teammates, so that's

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: thing to watch, maybe disrupting their offensive line, but we

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: know this offense is gonna be explosive down the field,

90
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: and right now Snell is gonna be the player to

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: roster with McFarland. Samuel's probably getting a look as well. Yeah,

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I think Juju uh proved that his worth. Ben seemed

93
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: a little rusty early, but that came off later on

94
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: in the game. The Uh. The the James Conner thing though,

95
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: just because I honestly I received two trade offers in

96
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: one of my leagues for James Conner because guys were

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: short on running backs and I said I need to

98
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: hold off had some other running back injuries myself and

99
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm kicking myself because the Steelers did everything they possibly

100
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: could in the first quarter and a half to get

101
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: him the football, and every opportunity he got he got

102
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: three yards or less, and there didn't seem to be

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: the burst. There didn't seem he runs hard, like like

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: when when it's gonna be you know, third and goal

105
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: at the one, you're gonna want James Conner. But you

106
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the McFarland later on. He showed big playability at

107
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Maryland when he aid, but I just Benny Snell, even

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: as just one night, I just Connor didn't have that

109
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: explosiveness that I would be wanting if I was a

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: James Conner roster guy, which I am, and so I

111
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: am looking for Benny Snell. Hopefully he's still available. I

112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: haven't even looked up yet. But the point being is,

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of leagues where he

114
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: is available, just because he did have a bunch of

115
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: questions about him. So that's that's my biggest takeaway. Ben's

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. You do is gonna be that number

117
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: one guy. Maybe you're not gonna play the Giants defense

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: every week, but Ben kind of shook off the rust

119
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: and look fine to me. Yeah, I rante him as

120
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: a top ten on the year. I had him number

121
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: three for this week, so expected some things against this.

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Giants do eventually started going juju with his sixty nine

123
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on the day. Deonte Johnson guy banged

124
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the drum for as a rookie. Looked good to see

125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: him getting more run. James Washington another guy who has

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: some some fantastic upside here, especially when you start spreading

127
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: him for wide, because Chase clay Pool is going to

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: be a monster as well. And on the other side,

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the Giants, there were there

130
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: were things that are concerning, right Obviously se Kwan Barkley

131
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: fifteen carry six yards. It's the Steelers defense, so maybe

132
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you just kind of hang a star on it. But

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: you look at Daniel Jones made a couple of decisions,

134
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: including that pass that got intercepted in the end zone

135
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: when they were second and three from the four yard line,

136
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: and you're scratching your head as to where that came from.

137
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: But overall to seventy nine two and two, took three sacks,

138
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: but found Darius Layton six catches a hundred two yards

139
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: two scores didn't do a whole lot for me on

140
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: my bench, but he's going to be the guy. He

141
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the receiver. And I think going forward,

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: they've got the Bears in Week two, but there's gonna

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: be spots on this schedule where Daniel Jones is gonna

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: be a stream play for you. Uh. They're gonna be

145
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: effective running the football, but you're going to see some

146
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: big plays downfield in the passing game. I can't wait

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: to see the development because you could see it from

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones already. Speaking of the word bad, Bruce arians

149
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: didn't use that word in describing Tom Brady, but he

150
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: also said not good. And and when in a game

151
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: that I was completely off base of how it was

152
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: going to play out, you were more on top of it.

153
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: There were points, but there weren't stats. And Brady had

154
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: the touchdown run the The question on who you would

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: have a report with, I I think was answered somewhat.

156
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how much stock to put into the

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans hamstring injury was doubtful, that upgraded that ends

158
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: up playing and and contributes a fight with Marshawn Lattimore

159
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: and then the two yard touchdown reception, which was his

160
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: only catch of the game. But there there is a

161
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: little part of me that if I drafted Mike Evans

162
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: or Chris Godwin one of the two that you aren't

163
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: going to see those Powerball numbers that you thought maybe

164
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: you could get. I know, the SAME's defense as decent Mike,

165
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: But I just I I don't know how many questions

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I had answered from the Buccaneers heading into Week two

167
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: that I had leading to the season. Yeah, overall, Dan,

168
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be curious to see what happens in that

169
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: backfield because they need to get a run game. Going

170
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: three point three yards per carry. Ronald Jones seventeen for

171
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: sixty six, that's fine, London, four nets, still learning the offense,

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: still getting acclimated. You'll see more of him and a

173
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: workload split. But New Orleans one of your top defense

174
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: is not let's not forget a Super Bowl contender along

175
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: the way. For me, it's the curiosity because every all

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: energy is focused on Tom Brady in this matchup. On

177
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the other side, Drew Brees just had a hundred sixty

178
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. But we'll get to him as

179
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: we roll on and watched this season unfold for the Buccaneers.

180
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: I think that's just it. Everybody was expecting full tilt

181
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: after these offseason workouts and a few practices together, that

182
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: they were just gonna put up pinball numbers, that there

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: were some clandestine workouts, that we're gonna make this all

184
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: so easy. Gronkowski was a non factor. You had Godwin

185
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: six for seventy nine, but really didn't feel like a

186
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: power power effort out of him. As you mentioned, Evans

187
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: just had the single catch, ran the wrong route. That's

188
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: one of the Brady interceptions. Bruce arians corrected himself after

189
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: immediately taking Brady to task in the post game, after

190
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: watching the film. Still not a great throw, and then

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you have obviously the pick six Brady. He'll be better,

192
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: he'll be more efficient because it's all about timing right.

193
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: It's about getting those those snaps off. It's about getting

194
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: rid of the ball and that offensive line jelling and

195
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: playing in game situations. May take a couple of weeks,

196
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get there. And for those that want

197
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: to sell off, here's your opportunity. Go by Tom Brady

198
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: on the low. Here's here's the reason why I loved

199
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: Scottie Miller so much heading into this season was some

200
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: of those told to me years and years ago when

201
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: it came to Tom Brady and was comparing him to

202
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, and it was Peyton Manning always looked for

203
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: the perfect play. And I've probably said this when when

204
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: we did shows for so many years, when Peyton Manny

205
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: would go to the lot of scrimmage, you wouldok a

206
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: the defense and say, what's the perfect play against this defense?

207
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change it to that We're going to run

208
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: it what Tom Brady does. Tom Brady goes to the

209
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: lot of scrimmage, looks at the defense and says, where

210
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: is the weakest part of the defense. And it doesn't

211
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: matter if it's on Rob Gronkowski, or if the weakest

212
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: part is on Chris Godwin, or likely it's on someone

213
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: like Scotty Miller. And that is who Tom Brady will

214
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: utilize and go to. And and that is why I'm

215
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: just I'm not seeing the the powerball numbers again from

216
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: Godwin and Evans because I think Brady throws it a rout.

217
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: We thought, like, oh, his rapport with Gronk, red Zimbell,

218
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: who does he throw the touchdown to or one of

219
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: his touchdowns to O. J. Howard. So I I just

220
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: I'm a little put off if I'm if I'm a

221
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: guy who drafted one of the Buccaneers guys Godwin and

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: Evans for this just simple point of I think this

223
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: is going to be more of the norm going forward.

224
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Then we're going to see shootouts. Let's put a little

225
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: bit of a bow on week one before we get

226
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: to what we hit and what we failed on. I

227
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: what stood out? Was there a player that stood out?

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Was there a trend outside refs, kickers that stood out

229
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: to you, anything that was a uh that that was

230
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: grabbing or in the spotlight or something that people should

231
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: focus on moving forward. I mean I was excited the

232
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: fact that we got some pretty big scores up on

233
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: the board, right, some surprises, some games that went the

234
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: other way. I mean I had Washington. I don't know

235
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: how many people did. But when you when you look

236
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: at the the schedule as a whole, twenty three seven

237
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: twenty we we got games that had scoring and got

238
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: some fantasy BUTLT sure they weren't all fantasy heroes that

239
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: we anticipated. You had that ridiculous game with the Packers

240
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: and and the Vikings gets up seventy seven is your total,

241
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: or Seattle in Atlanta they get to sixty three, Las

242
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Vegas and Carolina to sixty four. I mean, we got

243
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: points all over the place, and for fantasy purposes, we're

244
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to celebrate that because it's only gonna get better.

245
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: The offenses will get their timing down and we'll get rolling.

246
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: So for me, Week one was a veritable smorgas board. Yeah,

247
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the kickers and the officials had their issues, but we're

248
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna find out. We're gonna find some new heroes, certainly,

249
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: and the waiver wire is gonna get churning in short order. Well,

250
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: and my my takeaway is what happened in Santa Clara

251
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday, And it's two things and they both involved

252
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. First of all, my deepest condolences if you

253
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: lost your matchup, because Kyler Murray lost nine yards on

254
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: two snaps to run out the clock there in the

255
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: pistol and so so his snaps are five yards beyond

256
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. How we five was taken off

257
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: of one and four another. I'm not sure that's something

258
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure out, but a full point

259
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: could have been lost or at least nine tenths where

260
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray had a hundred yard rushing game and finished

261
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: with nine because he took two knees and they did

262
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: it from a gun position. Absolutely absurd. But the great

263
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: part about it is look at what Kyler Murray did

264
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: and look at the defense that he did it against,

265
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: and look at the opportunities that he's going to have

266
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: to score points. I think legitimate And this isn't We

267
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: wondered who was going to be that breakout candidate m

268
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: v P, and we looked at second year quarterbacks because

269
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: of Lamar, because of Patrick Mahomes, and Murray was put

270
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: into that equation. But to see what he did against

271
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: the forty niners at that defense on the road, even

272
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: though they didn't get the win, they end up getting

273
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the wind still and now you think about, all right, well,

274
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: what about when they're playing pinball against the worst teams

275
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: in the division across the NFC because they've got that

276
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: sort of schedule. I am I am uh bullish to

277
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: say the least on Kyler Murray right now and bullish

278
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: on his m VP candidacy just even after a week one.

279
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Think about it, Dan, when it comes down to it

280
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: you yards. I mean, if lost by that point nine,

281
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: that's absolutely crippling. But you know, Murray last year was

282
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the most effective deep ball thrower in the game, and

283
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: you saw him hit on a couple of big plays.

284
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Here DeAndre Hopkins fourteen for one. What happened to that

285
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: forty nine or defense that was supposed to shut things down?

286
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Oh wait, well they took care of the rest of

287
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: the gas, right. Larry Fitzgerald, his biggest contribution was at

288
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: the end of the half when he picked the ball

289
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: up and got its spotted so they can get a

290
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: fuel go off four for thirty four for him. Dan Arnold,

291
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: he's cure. He's a curiosity. We hang a star on

292
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: him for later on in the year two. Okay, fine,

293
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, I'm expecting massive things for him because you

294
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: got Hopkins, you got Fitzgerald. He's gonna be able to

295
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: streak and you're only gonna have a Safety's gotta make

296
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: a choice, you know, the Keanu Reeves, what do you do?

297
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: One target? He had five targets, one catch, zero yards.

298
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: So better days are there as well. You know, for

299
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: the rest of these guys in the Arizona receiving corps

300
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: of feast right Kenyan Drake six carry, sixty yards and

301
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: a score. You'll take it to catch his five yards

302
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: find the end zone. That's all that matters. Big win

303
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: for them here against the forty Niners. Murray was a

304
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: guy being drafted as a top ten quarterback and he's

305
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of defensive coordinators nervous throughout the year,

306
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: but fantasy owners very happy. Yeah, wait till they played

307
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: junk for defenses and you're gonna see those numbers go up.

308
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to my DeAndre Hopkins error in just

309
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. But someone almost hit a home run

310
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: on on Week one in the NFL, and that was

311
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: our celebrity selections. Yes, Josephine Scriber Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie

312
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: of the Year Swimsuit Model Rookie of the Year was

313
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: our first celebrity picker in our fantasy contest throughout the season,

314
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: and her lineup was Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons

315
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: was her quarterback, her running back was Josh Jacobs of

316
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and her wide receiver was Michael Thomas of

317
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: the Saints. While Thomas didn't cash in, Matt Ryan sure

318
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: did four hundred and fifty yards in the air, had

319
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdown passes, was picked off, ended up

320
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: having twenty four point nine points. For Josephine's quarterback position,

321
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: Jacob's huge thirty five point nine points and the Raiders

322
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: win against Carolina. Thomas just had the three catches for

323
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: seventeen yards given her four point seven. But Josephine Scriber

324
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: is on the board and right now atop the leader

325
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: board because she's the only one on the leader board.

326
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: But I think this could stay a little bit sixty

327
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: five and a half points for joseph Phin Scriber in

328
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: our first celebrity selection of the I Want Your Flex podcast. Man,

329
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: all right, Michael Thomas. Obviously we're gonna wait to see

330
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: what this high ankle sprain is and how much that

331
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: affects him. But certainly fantasy owners in Week one, they

332
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: don't care. He was a non factor in that Saints win.

333
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: But you know for Fantasy per yes, I know, we

334
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: were all struggling, uh with Josh Jacobs. We had him

335
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: as number two on the board for this week, and

336
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: he didn't disappoint. Uh. Love the fact that Gruten's got

337
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: them playing bullyball and that's what we saw all throughout

338
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: that game. And then of course Carolina tried to play

339
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: bullyball with the fullback uh and failed. But that's an

340
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: analysis for another time. UH. And then Matt Ryan pinball numbers,

341
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: three receivers, nine catches, a hundred plus yards, throwing the

342
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: ball all over the place and they still got blown out.

343
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: But a massive effort for fantasy purposes in a great

344
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: score it was. There was a lot of throwing. I

345
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: was bullish on Todd Gurley for Week one. He did

346
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: get in the end zone. Wasn't as greatest. Maybe I

347
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: thought that he could have been. And I'm not sure

348
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: on how much we're going to see uh and see

349
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: after that. All right, let's wrap up week one doing

350
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: it this way. What did you hit on? What did

351
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: you miss on in Week one? What makes you most proud?

352
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you for the hits we we had Kirk

353
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: Cousins Captain Kirk. Yeah it came on evenly, but two

354
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: fifty nine two and one fumble loss, whatever, but had

355
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: himself a day for fantasy owners. It all counts just

356
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: the same, right, And that Mads Gardner Minshew, who we

357
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: talked about. I didn't think this game was gonna go

358
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: this way. I thought getting out of Los Angeles, Philip

359
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Rivers would take on a new leaf, and they moved

360
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: the ball efficiently, didn't put up points. But Gardner Minshew

361
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: with the victory one seventy three and three, getting it

362
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: done from deep weight. I thought it might be garbage time,

363
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: but he he delivered Chris Carson of your Seattle Seahawks, Dan,

364
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it coming through the air. Six catches,

365
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: forty five yards too, touched on just twenty one you

366
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: heards rushing Calvin Ridley. We talked about the Matt Ryan

367
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Uh just crazy numbers in comeback mode. But nine for one,

368
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: thirty and two. He's gonna be a four's week to week.

369
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: And of course I gotta give a nod to my bears.

370
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: I said Anthony Miller was going to be a player

371
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: four seventies, six and one. Most proud because is look,

372
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: Mitchell's got some Maya myopia when it comes to Allen Robinson.

373
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: Whenever he needs to get bailed out, he's looking at

374
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: number twelve. So to see Anthony Miller come up in

375
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: a big spot with a huge catch to vanquish the Lions,

376
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. My hit. I told you a

377
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Trabinsky hat trick, And just as he said, doesn't matter

378
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: how it happens, if you were gonna play Mitchell Trabinsky,

379
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: you should have done it. Last week he came through

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: with my three touchdowns. Now, my fail was of epic proportions. Phil,

381
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: I was just basically piling on on DeAndre Hopkins for

382
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: the tweet, and then we found out it was a

383
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon thing. But he wasn't throwing shade at the Texans,

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: so I said, hey, Karma, look out for Karma. Well, well,

385
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins didn't get into the end zone. He only

386
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: had fourteen receptions for a hundred and fifty one yards

387
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: sixteen targets. So I I missed and I missed bad

388
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: on that one. I I thought maybe there was a shot,

389
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: maybe the forty doors defense and maybe because the chemistry

390
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: of being a new Arizona cardinal, uh couldn't be more wrong.

391
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: And that was my biggest epic fail. Epic fail, I

392
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: tell you, Dan, on the failed side, I mean, I've

393
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: got a list, right, you take your shots, and with

394
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: some of the chalk, they really did you wrong. Carson

395
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: Wentz started out just fine. That's seventeen nothing lead to

396
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: seventy to two and the fumble lost that only gives

397
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: you thirteen points. That don't you taking account that he

398
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: got sacked eight times and was terrorized by that Washington

399
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: defense front. But twenty six amongst quarterbacks, Philip Rivers I

400
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: mentioned him before against Jacksonville. Three und sixty three yards great,

401
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: one touchdown, two picks, fourteen point eight point. He was

402
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: twenty second. I gave you Kendrick Born, thinking everybody's hurt

403
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: for San Francisco, they're gonna be able to put up

404
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: some numbers. No. Two catches thirty four yards failed by me,

405
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, forget about the past interference. Three catches fifty

406
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: yards and of course he just got paid. I gotta

407
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: look at you, Keenan Allen. I'm not expected to Rod

408
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Taylor are gonna be playing it all over the place.

409
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: Four catches thirty seven yards against the Bangles. No, thank you, Phil.

428
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: that in the past. Let's let's look ahead till week two.

429
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: But let's also look at some of the running back

430
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: situations that we had questions about entering the season. Running

431
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: Back by Committees rbb c's we saw the Rams have

432
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: a running back by committee, which we expected with Malcolm

433
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Brown and Cam Akers getting the fair share of the load.

434
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: Is that gonna be a Malcolm Brown the main guy

435
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: after his uh four point four yards per carry uh

436
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: effort against the Dallas Cowboys. How do you think that

437
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: shape shapes out with the Rams? Yeah? I expected the

438
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: split to be about where it was. You know, Cam

439
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: Akers was the reason I didn't play Malcolm Brown. I

440
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: rostered him, I drafted him, but I sat him. Woe

441
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: is me? But eighteen seventy nine and two and you

442
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: look at the decided advantage and nearly, you know, just

443
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: over a yard and a half better per carry than

444
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: Acres was in this game. And we didn't even really

445
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: see Darrell Henderson at all. He had three carries for

446
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: six yards, and I gotta think he factors in here too.

447
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing that scares me is that you might

448
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: actually have a three man committee. But for now, barring

449
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: some massive change, they want to play bullyball, and that's

450
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: what they did against that Dallas front. So I'm gonna

451
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: be curious to see if they want to keep that identity.

452
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Robert Woods had himself a big day Tyler Higbee was quiet,

453
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup was quiet. They're gonna fling the ball around eventually.

454
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: So maybe we see some of this carries and this

455
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: rushing attack because there were forty carries by this squad

456
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: in week one. Maybe you see that down a bit.

457
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: But for now, Malcolm Brown's the guy. And why is

458
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: he the guy? Most importantly, he's the t D vulture

459
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: at the goal line, So yeah, let's get him in

460
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: our lineups. From hot hands, we go to a hot

461
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: mess in Detroit because I have no idea what's going

462
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: on with the Lions DeAndre Swift and having the game

463
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: winner bounce off his hands. I know, beneficial for you

464
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Bear fans, But the way that backfield shook out, Uh,

465
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson ends up being the main guy. How long

466
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: does that last? With with DeAndre Swift being the the

467
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: rookie that we thought, once healthy, could maybe take over

468
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: that job. What do you think it happens in Detroit?

469
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: At least in the near future. Look, if Adrian Peterson

470
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be back the Father Time and the Bears

471
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: vaunted front, you get after it. Obviously, you know Goldman's

472
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: out there the the nose tackle, but you're still looking

473
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: at a Bears defense that's among your better better rosters

474
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Fourteen carries ninety three yards,

475
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: running violently, looking like he turned back the clock a decade.

476
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: AP is gonna have a big role here. He talked

477
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: about it before the Week one matchup that they were

478
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: expecting him to carry things, and you watched how that

479
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: offense opened up and the Bears retreated a bit because

480
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: he was He was playing bullyball like just like the

481
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: Rams were against the Cowboys. So I'm expecting more of

482
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: that carry on Johnson. Seven carries fourteen yards. He's gonna

483
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: be the biggest loser here because DeAndre Swift. They need

484
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: to get his confidence back. Right after that drop, they

485
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: immediately we're like, hey, we can't put it on him.

486
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: It takes us all. You know a lot of things

487
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: that we could have done differently. Three carries eight yards.

488
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: He got the touchdown. Obviously the reception that should have

489
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: been and it would have been helped Matthew Stafford fantasy

490
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: owners a lot too. But I would expect short term,

491
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: if you were able to pick Adrian Peterson up off

492
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: waivers after he'd been released by Washington, you just got

493
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: yourself a short term goal mine. I'll tell you one thing.

494
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: It's not carry on Johnson's job, that's for sure. Whose

495
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: job is it in Buffalo? Yeah, I mean this one's

496
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of a curiosity, right Singletary

497
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: nine of for thirty, Moss nine for eleven. I gotta

498
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: think eventually Mosque becomes the guy, but it's not gonna

499
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: happen right away. Just one point two yards per carry.

500
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: I would think that he's going to be your goal

501
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: line back that when it's not Josh Allen, of course,

502
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: but I think Singletary keeps his grasp on half the

503
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: role for now. He knows the protection, so he's gonna

504
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: be more active. In the past game, five catches twenty

505
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: three yards on seven targets here, not a lot of

506
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: output for you, but he's still who they like in

507
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: those situations. Moss had the touchdown reception sure three for sixteen,

508
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: and he'll eat into those targets over time. But I

509
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: gotta think at least short term it's Singletary. But if

510
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm looking for long term investing, like I'm doing a

511
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: little bit stock and trying to think towards my retirement,

512
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: I vanquishing all my fantasy fos and winning a title.

513
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: Zack Moss is the guy I want. All Right, you

514
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: were you were all in on a bunch of Green

515
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and uh, it seemed like all of the

516
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers were in the end zone on the

517
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Vikings. But I mean, you just are

518
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: you trying to roster already packer that there is or

519
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: is that just a one off and week one in Minnesota? Well,

520
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, on the show I do with Jason Smith

521
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: on the network, uh seven to eleven Pacific every night

522
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, we do our bold predictions, and

523
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: I said, Aaron Rodgers gonna lead the league in touchdown passes.

524
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're gonna win thirteen games again, but he's

525
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna be winging the ball around. And part of that

526
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: is that there's talent there. There's young talent that's developing,

527
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: and you saw it a little bit last year. These

528
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: guys got pushed in the prime time. Yeah, he's also

529
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna show you that he's a little bit salty. Didn't

530
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: draft him another one of these first rounders that are

531
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna make big impacts here in But when you look

532
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: at Davante Adams, got his right fourteen one, fifty six

533
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: and two on seventeen targets. Think about that, seventeen targets,

534
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: like we talked about with DeAndre Hopkins earlier. How you're

535
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: not on a boxing one on this guy, I have

536
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: no idea. Oh wait, I know why. Because Markus Valdi's scantling.

537
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: He can run the deep ball for nineties six and

538
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: a score the long of forty five. And Alan Lazard,

539
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: a guy our producer lead to lap, was all over before.

540
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: He was walking around banging a trash can like he

541
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: was a fan or someone working for the Astros. Four

542
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: sixty three and a score thirty eight the long. Only

543
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: four targets in this one, So you're gonna see an

544
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: EBB and flow I think in terms of target counts

545
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: of anybody not named Adams. But you're gonna have opportunities

546
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: for big performances. And this week against Minnesota, a normally

547
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: stout defense. I know Daniel Hunter wasn't there, but Yannickinghakwa

548
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: was non existent. That secondary was roasted all day long

549
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: and they got pushed around. They had no pressure on

550
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He was able to fling it around. I

551
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen him Matt Giddey in a long

552
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: long time. And if this is a harbinger of things

553
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: to come against what he is a tough divisional opponent.

554
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: It sorry to our boss H for having to watch

555
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: this one. And yeah, I know it wasn't nearly as

556
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: good as the nine point loss. Uh, it goes down

557
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: in the scorebook. Uh. If this is where we're starting,

558
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gonna have himself one fantastic season. So yeah,

559
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: give me mvs give me Lazarren there's big days ahead.

560
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: We'll wrap with this because Washington wrapped up a victory

561
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles. Peyton Barber the one that gets

562
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Antonio Gibson was the hot name.

563
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: Who do you stick with in the short term? If

564
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: you are a looking for a running back out of

565
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: d C. You can punt as well if you would like.

566
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: Punt is probably the best option because week to week,

567
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea how this is gonna flow. I mean,

568
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber with seventeen carries part of it. Perhaps they

569
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: just felt more confident He's got the the plays and

570
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: and everything to him. Uh. The curiosity as you as

571
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: you go though, is that Antonio Gibson did have two

572
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: catches for eight yards, so they felt comfortable enough to

573
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: to fling it to him out of the backfield. So

574
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: I think we'll see more of him, and if I

575
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: if you want me to roster one of them, Yeah,

576
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: Gibson's my guy. I think we know what Peyton Barber is.

577
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: There maybe a couple of vulture opportunities, some of these

578
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: red zone opportunities. He carried the ball seventeen times for

579
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, right, that's one point seven yards percaring.

580
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: I know a couple of those are goal line plunges

581
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: long of eight. Gibson had the run of twenty nine

582
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: for thirty six, but a run of twenty you want

583
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: a game breaker. You want someone who's maybe gonna be

584
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: able to bust a couple of big long runs in

585
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: a game. He's the guy I'm looking at if I

586
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: have to roster one of them. That's with some of

587
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: these running back by committee situations or wide receivers when

588
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to split out, those are hopefully some answers

589
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: for you to decipher moving forward. You mentioned injuries. There

590
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: were a bunch. We don't have enough time to get

591
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: to to all of them. So I'm just gonna name

592
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: a couple that I think we'll have lasting effects and

593
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: fantasy and the the biggest one I think is out

594
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis with Marlon Mack rupturing his achilles. Because now

595
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: you've got Jonathan Taylor, the second round pick. Naheim Hines

596
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: was a a popular guy on on Sunday. How did

597
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: things shape out in Indie with Mac done for the year? Yeah,

598
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: it's clearly Taylor. They've already named him the starter. Uh,

599
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: there's no question there. He's gonna see twenty carries a

600
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: week because one of the other things you're gonna look

601
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: at and they're gonna look at that game tape and

602
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, we don't need Philip Rivers winging the

603
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: ball around like he did this past weekend, because all

604
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: it did was get them a lot of yardage and

605
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of heartache when when it was crunch time

606
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: and Chargers fans can go back to last year with

607
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: the number of failures in the red zone. So you're

608
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of Taylor. And I think when

609
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: you look at Nahem Hines, if you're in a PPR league,

610
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a lot of value. He's only owned

611
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: it about twenty of leagues. He's gonna be a that

612
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to flex out because he's going

613
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: to see six, eight, ten targets depending on the game.

614
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: Because Philip Rivers doesn't move, no matter how good that

615
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: offensive line is, he's still a statue. Right. He's a

616
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: guy that you can't even call his number on a sneak.

617
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it has to happen. If you're a Charger

618
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: fan and you're listening, I'm sorry, get over it. He's

619
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: moved on the The fact is that you're gonna have

620
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: a split. But Taylor is undoubtedly the guy. And if

621
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: you drafted him late, handcuffed him to Mac, you're gonna

622
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: be pretty happy. Hinz. By the way, eight catches on

623
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: eight targets forty five yards, so that's five five yards

624
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: and cats nikes. Hey, that's twelve point five points. Dan,

625
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: that's true. That's true. Uh. The the injury to Levy

626
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: on Bell with the Jets, um, I don't know if

627
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: Freeman McNeil is going to be available, but they are

628
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: running Frank Gore is uh Frank Gore? Uh a pick up?

629
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: What do you got anything with the Jets? Any value?

630
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: With the team in green. Yeah, this one's concerning obviously,

631
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: lady On Bell. Uh. The injury occurs, Adam Gates puts

632
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: him back out there, it's coaching malfeasance. Uh. And I

633
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: know obviously lady On Bell trying to disprove all the

634
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: doubts right and and get back into find form. And

635
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: he's been really happy about running back to getting paid

636
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: and he's had a nod on social media to all

637
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: of them. But Frank Gore, four yards and carry, that's

638
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get you. It's not gonna be exciting.

639
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: The Jets are no good. They revamped their offensive line.

640
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: Beckton is gonna be a player, there's no question about it.

641
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: The problem is you're you're bringing these five guys together,

642
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: and like we've seen with so many teams, it takes

643
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: a while to gel and you don't have time to

644
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: wait for fantasy purposes. So Frank Gore is a guy.

645
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: If you're just looking for a volume runner, get you

646
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: your twenty carries seventy five total yards, maybe eighty five

647
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: total yards, and the outside shot at the score. Because

648
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: let's face it, Sam Donald's not winging it around. There's

649
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: nobody there to really look to at this point as

650
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: a go to receiver. Even Chris Herndon was a non

651
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: factor this past week. Eventually La Michael p Ryan will

652
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: be cleared and maybe he's the long term answer for them.

653
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: So one of those dynasty leagues check to see if

654
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: he's available because the levy On Bell may not be

655
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: there next year. Uh so maybe he's austraed already. But

656
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: if not, and you've got a deep enough bench. Yeah,

657
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: he missed week one. Eventually he's working back into the mix.

658
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: But this is again, this is long shots. There's better

659
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: options on the wire, all right. The situation in Philly,

660
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders didn't make the trip to d C. You've

661
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: got some Boston Scott, Corey Clement. This comes in from

662
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: Lee Lee from Los Angeles tweet all these our our

663
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: executive director wants us to hit on the the birds

664
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: that did not fly out of d C with a win.

665
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: I would say, just wait for Sanders to be fully healthy.

666
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: It seems that they were maybe hopeful, but I'm not

667
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: sure on how much I'm I'm wanting to put my

668
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: eggs in the basket of Boston Scott or Corey Clement. Yeah, obviously,

669
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: desperations to stinky cologne. I'm waiting on Sanders Lane. Johnson

670
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: missed Week one as well, and that offensive line was

671
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: sieve like. They got a lot to fix their much

672
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: like the Jets at least here. You like the names,

673
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: you like the personnel, but they gotta figure this out.

674
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: Sixteen times fifty five yards. That was the run game

675
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: in Week one. Miles Sanders needs to get back fast,

676
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: Boston Scott's no better than a flex and Corey Clement,

677
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: We're not turning back the clock to that Super Bowl year.

678
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: What about Joshua Kelly of the Los Angeles Chargers twelve

679
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: carrey sixty yards in a score. We knew that Austin

680
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: Ekeler would kind of be the main guy, and we

681
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: loved Eckler because of the multifascinated UH options that he

682
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: brings both catching and receiving. But is Kelly worthy of

683
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: a pickup entering week two? Well, you know, I got

684
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: kicked into teeth both from a fandom perspective and fantasy perspective.

685
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson expected more from him, just a couple of carries. Really,

686
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: it became the Kelly Show twelve sixty and one. Like

687
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: you said, Dan Uh and I think with Austin Ekeler,

688
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: I was a little bit barish when it came to

689
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: the full season of making sure that his body is right. Look,

690
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: he's a powerhouse, and we saw the workout videos in

691
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: the off season, but is he a guy that you

692
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: want twenty to twenty five touches per game over the

693
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: long all? No. I think that's why you're gonna see

694
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: perhaps more of Jackson in the future, but certainly Kelly,

695
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: who was only roster and at about twenty percent of

696
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: leagues right now, so definitely a pick up. And with

697
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Torod Taylor back there, they're playing defense and running the

698
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: football even though they paid Keenan Allen talked about him

699
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: before you got Hunter Henry there. Mike Williams had a

700
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: big target count. The goal is to not wing it

701
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: around like Philip Rivers did. No, they want ball control

702
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: and they want the offensive line to rule the day,

703
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: and that means more carries and that means a lot

704
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: more Kelly. So yeah, go pick him up. Obviously Austin

705
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: Ekeler will have his role, And if you're in a

706
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: deeper league, yeah, you can still roster Jackson because one

707
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: injury and suddenly he's going to be in that role

708
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: and part of a goal line uh committee as it goes.

709
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to sort out the touches as we roll.

710
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, Joshua Kelly absolutely rosterable. I think you're also

711
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of six teen point games from

712
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers if they continue to play the way that

713
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: they played. Uh the again, since it shouldn't have been

714
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: that close. It really shouldn't have been and they shouldn't

715
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: be a Randy Bullock injury. By the way, if I'm

716
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock and I said this on the show on

717
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: Sunday as it happened, I would to be limping after

718
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: I missed that field goal, and I would have asked

719
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 1: for a cart, and I would have said, just drive

720
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: me home, Like, just take me home. I do not

721
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: want to face anybody else. Just get me out of

722
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: this stadium. I know that there are no fans there

723
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: to heckle him, but I too would have limped and

724
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: been like, yeah, then I heard like, it wasn't too severe.

725
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: You think you think he should have fell down, He

726
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: should have called, you know, help this something. My goodness,

727
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: Just get me out of there, all right. Speaking of

728
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they got the Browns coming up on Thursday.

729
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: Let's look at our first matchup of week two. Um,

730
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: not much from the Browns that you could write home about.

731
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: Maybe the the Nick Chubb Kareem Hunt backfield will work,

732
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: but that was maybe seemingly the only thing fantasy wise

733
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: that may have worked for the Browns. Now entering a

734
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: Bengals team that I for as much as people want

735
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: to say, you know, Joe Burrow and his debut and

736
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: and the touchdown run, it was a tough defense to

737
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: go up against. I thought that that that Joe Burrow

738
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: looked like he was making his first start despite some

739
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: of the the plays. I I expect Cleveland to to

740
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: win on Thursday night, But what do you expect from

741
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: the guys actually playing in the game. Yeah, I'm certainly

742
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: expecting better from Baker Mayfield uh and the Cleveland offense.

743
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: As you mentioned Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. Uh, they're

744
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna be starters for you all year long. You know.

745
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm more bullish on Kareem Hunt. I thought he was

746
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: a bit underdrafted, and perhaps Nick Chubb a little overdrafted

747
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: based on the fact that you've got such a weapon

748
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: and Hunt as part of the passing game. Uh In

749
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: Joe wus out, so in theory, you don't even have

750
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: to worry about those targets going his way anymore. And

751
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: that that means perhaps more for Austin Hooper was a

752
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: huge fail in Week one, but it is Baltimore. They

753
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: defend like usually if the team is dominant at a position,

754
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: they'll defend it well. So you watched Andrews the muck.

755
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: That means Austin Hooper wasn't. I Like Jarvis Landry, He's

756
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna pile up targets, He's gonna pile up his receiving

757
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: yards uh and reception. So you've got some opportunity there.

758
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for for them. I'm not a big

759
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham guy. I expect better, but he's a guy

760
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: that again when we did our season preview, as I

761
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: told you, I think I had him rank or something

762
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: like that among wide receivers. Just not expecting great things

763
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: from him at all. From the Cincinnati side of things,

764
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: a j Green five for fifty one, okay, Pattie and

765
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: and what have you. Joe Mixing nineteen for sixty nine

766
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: and very limited in the passing game. Uh. The big

767
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: thing for Joe Burrow is you'll have opportunities. But Cleveland's

768
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: defensive line is from is strong, right, Myles Garrett is

769
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna get after it. That front four. They played good

770
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: defense against normal teams. Baltimore is not a normal team.

771
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: Since an Eddie you would say below average. Uh. And

772
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: if you're banking on Joe Burrow from a fantasy perspective,

773
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: if you're just wishing and hoping that he's gonna run

774
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen or Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson, Okay,

775
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: that's fine. You can roll on that and maybe throw

776
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: him into a QB two. Otherwise it's a tall order.

777
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, rushing yards should be the bonus for you

778
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: and not how you're planning your fantasy QB strategy. Let's

779
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: wrap this baby up with the three point conversion and

780
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first just because it's a better transition

781
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: with what you just talked about. Um, don't bench O

782
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: b J just yet, but I'm close. I'm sorry the

783
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: the the the fixation, and it's the problem with the

784
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: Browns and I think it was a problem with Baker

785
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: Mayfield last year's You feel the need that you have

786
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: to get Odell Beckham Jr. The football ten targets three

787
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: catches against the Ravens ten targets three catches. That's a

788
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: simple math, and idiot like me can figure that out.

789
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: What you've paid Austin Hooper that money. And I know

790
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: in joke, who's not gonna be there anymore for them.

791
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: But you gotta get your your highest paid tight end involved.

792
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: You can't worry about forcing the ball to Odell Beckham Jr.

793
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: Throw it to Jarvis Landry, get it to Kareem Hunt,

794
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: who I think it's more like Dalvin Cook than the

795
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and something he gets Nick Chubb. But she's

796
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: somethink that that Kareem Hunt could be of real value.

797
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: Cleveland's got pieces. They just stopped trying to freaking give

798
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: the ball to open Odell Beckham Jr. All the time.

799
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll see if it starts on Thursday night. The other

800
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: two things not that you would and who cares if

801
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: it's tight ends. But don't expect Logan Thomas to be

802
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: your high point. Get her at tight end. Uh. Maybe

803
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: you want to pick him up because you you had

804
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: David and Joku for some reason on your team, or

805
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: you're looking for some help at the tight end position.

806
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: Don't expect that to happen again and again. As I

807
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: started off the show, Scotty Miller, if you haven't picked up,

808
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: picked him up. It wasn't a one off in New Orleans.

809
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: It's not. Tom Brady is going to use him and

810
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: use him throughout the year. He may not be your

811
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: top wide receiver, may not be your second one, but

812
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: darn it. If you don't have Scotty Miller yet, get

813
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: him now. Those are my my three for the road

814
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: if you will Mike in a three point conversions alright,

815
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: my three for the road, Dan, as we go through

816
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: number one, stick with your hot hand. Mitchell Trabinsky, your

817
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: guy from week one, three touchdown passes, Anthony Miller, four

818
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: seventies six and one week one. This week they've got

819
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: the Giants coming up, and we watched Ben Roethlisberger. It

820
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: took him a little bit of time and then he

821
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: put up big numbers. Sound familiar, rewind Trabisky Lions Week one.

822
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: Number two. The Jets appear to be that team. You

823
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: know what that team means, that team that you're gonna

824
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: start all your players against because they're not good, Okay, offensively,

825
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: they're anemic. Defensively, you're gonna be able to control the

826
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: ball and have field position because Sam Donald and company

827
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: are going to struggle mightily. You know, like Joe Namath

828
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: said stag ling number three, smash Mouth football is not dead.

829
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: We watched the Las Vegas Raiders do it with Josh Jacobs. Hell,

830
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: we watched on the other side, Carolina do it with McCaffrey. Okay,

831
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: they also screwed up by running the fullback, but we

832
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: see that across the league. You got run games. We've

833
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: talked a lot about these workload splits, but what you

834
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: have is consistently high numbers of Carri's right, Los Angeles,

835
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: the Rams with forty attempts. You've got Benny Snell in

836
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: relief nineteen for the Steelers. We know what Derrick Henry

837
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: is gonna do. We know what se Kwan Barkley is

838
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: going to do against most defenses, and you roll on

839
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: from there. Even Chris Carson didn't do a lot Week

840
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: one on the ground for Seattle, but you know that's

841
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna flip the other way. So yes, smash Mouth football alive.

842
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: And well, I'm giving up on James Conner. I'm done.

843
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: I just I can't. I can't handle it anymore. Sorry.

844
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: I love it. He's he's a warrior and I love

845
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: everything he's about. But man, by the way, week two,

846
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: so you know, oh, b J is gonna show up.

847
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: You know, when there's a deuce involved, he is going

848
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: to be there. So maybe that's why you shouldn't let

849
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: him go as of yet. Alright, Mike, we'll do it

850
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: again on Friday and get everybody set for the other
