Speaker 1: I am Rich Truman. We're talking fantasy football. It is Wednesday.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Michael Barr is off and joining me right now in

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: the studio is Bloomberg's Damien sass Hour and Bailey Lipscholtz. Guys,

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: were coming off Week seven, better known as VI mcgeddon

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: not so bad this week. Only two teams off, the

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Reevens and the Raiders, So that means get Lamar Jackson,

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, Mark Andrews, Derek Card, Darren Waller and any

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: other Reevens and readers out of your lineup, and guys,

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the big matchup out of the gate Thursday night, the

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: undefeated Arizona Cardinals hosting of the six and one Green

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Right off the bat, we have a couple

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: of guys who are not gonna go Um, Damon, give

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: us an update here? Yeah, no, I mean look, I

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: mean you may as well say the Packers run by

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: as well, because Adams and Lazard are both out for

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: the week, which means the onus is gonna be placed

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: in that running game. Aaron Jones, Dylan, but expect Cob

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Tanyan and maybe even MVS sees the field. Uh to

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: see increased roles versus Arizona on Thursday night. And now

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: MVS is on i R, so it's the time of

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: this taping, we are not sure if he's going to

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 1: be available. Bailey, your thoughts in that game, Yeah, expect

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: a big game from Robert Tounyon as well as if

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: you're going for a sleeper pick, Equanimius st. Brown could

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: be the receiver because Aaron Rodgers has to throw the

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: ball to someone and that's ah, it's it'll it should

29
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: be a high scoring game even without Davante Adams now

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Lazard playing, So it'll be interesting to see, uh if

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Rogers shows up or we see a repeat of Week

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: one against the New Orleans Saints. Yeah, and I'd look

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: to see Earth's get back in the end zone. I mean,

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: he got in the end zone in his first game

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: last week, and he has a new dimention to that offense.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: So I'd like to see zacher It's play an increased

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: role in Arizona. You know, I saw an interesting stat

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: on ESPN without Davante Adams in six games, Aaron Rodgers

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: has thrown seventeen touchdown passes in one interception, so that

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: did surprise me. So maybe he'll be more effective than

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: we than we think right now. On the Arizona side,

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins the volume is not there, thirty three catches

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: only in seven games, but he does have seven touchdowns.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: What do you guys like out of the Arizona side, Well,

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't not like Christian Kirk. You can't

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: like I mean, as if you have the spot fill

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: a j. Green you might have to do that. But

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, the running game in Arizona

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: has also left something to be desired. Really, it's the

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Kyla Murray Show in Arizona. So you know, it's it's

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: for me, it's it's after him, It's it's really a crapshoot. Yeah,

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I feel like if you have Ron Dalemore, it's really

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: a dart throw. You're only upside for this Cardinals team

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: is they should be throwing the ball a lot. It

55
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: is a very much banged up secondary for the Green

56
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, and if Aaron Rodgers does anything, they'll be

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. Otherwise you could see some garbage time.

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: James Conner uh pounding the ball, running the clock down.

59
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: By the way, James Conner was my sleeper pick last week.

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Da I mean, if you do remember did get in

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the end zone? I was playing him? Yes he did.

62
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on some other games for the week.

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: How about Miami Buffalo. The over under is fifty points.

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Week two of these two teams played. The Bill shutout

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: the Dolphins thirty five to nothing. We know Josh Allen

66
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: and the Bills could have put up the points, but

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: what about the Dolphins the last two weeks to a

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: averaging points with six tds. Is he a play this week? Gentleman, Well,

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I think I think Malcolm Brown is out here. So

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: the interesting pilot for me is that Miles Gaskin, you know,

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: good or bad, is going to see higher volume, and

72
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: so might Salvanamed. In fact, Salvanahmed might be a sleepy pickup, um,

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: you know, because he might see some additional touches here

74
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: in Miami. But yeah, you know, two has looked really good. Um.

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: The rest of the team not so much, with the

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: exception of Waddle. You know, Waddles starting to show up

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, I think he might be

78
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: a good start as well. Yeah, I don't think Mike

79
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: is sick. He is a poor play if you have

80
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: a buy like a Mark Andrews or Darren Wader at

81
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the tight end spot. But rich to your point, these

82
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: these numbers from two were against the Jacksonville bag Wires

83
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Falcons, so it's it's really hard to

84
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: try to draw a parallel to a Buffalo Bills team

85
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: coming off of by which has been really, if not

86
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: the only one of the few good defenses that we've

87
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: seen on a week by week basis this year in

88
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. And Kaski that you mentioned, who went to

89
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Penn State. Um, I believe the last two games again

90
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: you said against weak defense is understood. I believe it

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: has like fifteen catches for almost two gards on a touchdown.

92
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: So he actually, he actually could be a sneaky play.

93
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Um let's move on to Tampa Bay New Orleans over

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: under his fifty. We know you can't run on Tampa

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: uh New Orleans. Finally, through the ball to Alvin Kamara.

96
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Last game against Seattle, he had ten catches. In the

97
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: prior five games he had a total of fifteen catches.

98
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: Do you think we see more Alvin Kamar catching the

99
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. You know, Richard's been tough

100
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: to run on the Saints as well, So you know,

101
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: for net despite all, you know, all those attributes, he

102
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: looked absolutely great. He's taking control of the RB one

103
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. But you know it might be tough.

104
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: On the other hand, You're right Kamara. I mean, I mean,

105
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: what did he have ten receptions for? Like a gazillion?

106
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he had such a crazy I mean, he

107
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: just gets it done. So you can't bet against Kamara.

108
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: And look, you know, we'd like to see a b

109
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: come back. I think they're gonna need him to come

110
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: back because I think the over unders you rightly point

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: out is something like fifty, So you know you're gonna

112
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: need You're gonna need some some some stional options for

113
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has been an absolute beast as well, so

114
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to see him come back and

115
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: do something in this game. Yeah, I think you see

116
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: a lot of volume four Alvin Kamara, a lot of

117
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: passing downs because I really think this could become a

118
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: one sided blowout where the Buccaneers are putting up thirty

119
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: five points just given the high volume all the weapons

120
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: that they have, it's tough for that Saints defense to

121
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: match up. And you can sit back and say this

122
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: is a divisional matchup. It is like a bad blood rivalry.

123
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: But the Saints have not really looked that great as

124
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: a whole unit, and it is indoors, which should play

125
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady's benefit. With that being said, if you

126
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: think they're gonna put up that many points, is Winston

127
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: a good play, there will be volume. He's gonna throw it.

128
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: I just I have not seen anything from Jameis Winston

129
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: personally at all this year that makes me feel confident

130
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: that you can start. Yeah, he's not leading his receivers

131
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: at all, and that's the problem. I mean, you saw

132
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: that very clearly against the Seahawks, you know, and so look,

133
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Even though the weather conditions we

134
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: were pretty dismal, you know, famous Jamis isn't someone you

135
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: can really rely on. There is a chance that Gronk

136
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: could be back, and Mike Evans just coming three touchdown game.

137
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Tennessee in Indianapolis at Indie over

138
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: under fifty one be SiGe Derrick Henry, who's obviously the

139
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: number one running back. Do we like anybody else in

140
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: this game, Bailey, not particularly. I don't. I don't have

141
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: faith in Ryan Tannehill unless you're forced to start Ryan

142
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: tan Hill. I don't have faith in either Antonio Brown

143
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, A. J. Brown. I don't. I don't

144
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: see the upside. I mean, you have to start them,

145
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: you have to start him or Julio Jones, I think,

146
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: But I don't think you plugged them in with any

147
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: confidence that there will be a very strong showing from

148
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: this Titans offense. Well, you know, I mean, there's a

149
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: fantasy mantra that a lot of people live by, myself included,

150
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: you never draft Carson wentz onto your fantasy football team.

151
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: But Carson wentz Ha looked pretty good these past few weeks,

152
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and he could be in for a good day against

153
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: the shoddy Titans defense. And look, I hate to say

154
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: his name, and you know you're gonna probably flame me

155
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: for doing it. T Y Hilton is back in business,

156
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: and with Paris Campbell out and just Pittman to throw too,

157
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: he could see an increased role. So maybe a sleeper

158
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: pick there for a deeper leagues. Okay, let's move on

159
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: to New England against the Chargers over under forty nine.

160
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Chargers had a bye week and they're coming off a

161
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: disappointed game against the Ravens knowing and obviously blew out

162
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: the Jets. Damian Harris two touchdowns. This could be a

163
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: high scoring game. Do we like mac Jones or do

164
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you think the Patriots are gonna try to keep the

165
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: ball on the ground, Damien, If only mac Jones could

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: play the Jets each and every week, he would be

167
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: a rock star from Fantasy perspected. But I think things

168
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: are gonna get tough against the Charges here. They've had

169
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: a bye week to kind of get their their house

170
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: in order and and so look, I'm not looking for

171
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: mac Jones to do all that much of anything, but

172
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: you make a good point, Damian. Uh, Damian Harris did

173
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: look good. Um, you know he could be in for

174
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: a pretty big day if they keep the game close. Yeah.

175
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I really like the tight ends in this game for

176
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: New England. I really like Johnny Smith or Hunter Henry.

177
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I think one of them, if not both of them,

178
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: will get into the end zone because they will have

179
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Mac Jones to throw the

180
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: ball and safety blankets from a talented pair of tight

181
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: ends that are tougher to match up with against a

182
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: very stout front seven for Los Angeles Chargers. The highest

183
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: point hole game this week is the Sunday night game

184
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: with Minnesota hosting Dallas. Right now, it is at fifty five,

185
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: so there should be plenty of scoring. Kirk Cousins has

186
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: been pretty good throwing the ball this year. Uh, do

187
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: we see more of the same, Damian? I mean, you know,

188
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: I think we do. I mean, the Vikings have looked

189
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: really good. I think they know how to put points

190
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: on the board. They've got cookback healthy. I mean, so yeah,

191
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think things are kind of

192
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. Cowboys coming up a byeway.

193
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I think Doak is ailing. So I don't know really

194
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: what to expect. I mean, that can impact the over

195
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: under in this game if he doesn't suit up, but

196
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, all all indications point to the fact that

197
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: he will play, and that should result in a high

198
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: scoring game with a lot of fantasy output for a

199
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of stars. Yeah, a lot of high firepower on

200
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: that Vikings team, Justin Jefferson and Adam Feland. Kirk Cousins

201
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he put up over thirty

202
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: at Carolina a bye week to kind of get everyone

203
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: on the same page before a big Sunday night matchup.

204
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: Makes me really like the over and really like the

205
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: ability of Kirk Cousins to move the ball down field

206
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: and what should turn into a shootout between him and

207
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Now, the Cowboys obviously have a lot of

208
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: a lot of targets, a lot of people could get

209
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the ball, but the tight end Schaltz has been very

210
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: pretty impressive this year. Bailey, Yeah, he's been a terrific

211
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I picked him up in one of my leagues because

212
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I completely whiffed on buying the Robert Toanian hype and

213
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: it's paid very much dividends because he's been really getting

214
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot of looks, a lot of targets from a

215
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott who is coming off the injury and playing

216
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: really well and really finding not only him but also

217
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: getting a Marii Cooper and Ceedee Lamb involved. You're never

218
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: really knowing who's going to get in the in zone,

219
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys offense really putting up numbers this year.

220
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: I finally, the last game we'll focus on is the

221
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: Monday night game, which is Kansas City hosting the Giants

222
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: over under around fifty two fifty three right now, Mahomes

223
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: coming off his worst start of his UH career, at

224
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: least fantasy wise, Giants actually coming off a rare win.

225
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: What are we expecting in this game, Damien, Well, this

226
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: is my sleeper of the week. I think Daniel Jones

227
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: is in for a pretty big day against the week

228
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: Casey defense. But look, you know, Casey's still favored by

229
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: nine and a half. They're still gonna win the game,

230
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: but the Giants are gonna need to keep up with them.

231
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: And Jones didn't look half bad last week, so yeah,

232
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: I know, I think he might be a sleepy play here, Damian.

233
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: If you see my paper across room, I have my

234
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: sleeper pick is Daniel Jones, And there you go. I

235
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: agree wholeheartedly. I think it's gonna be a high scoring game.

236
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones is gonna have to keep up.

237
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: But be interesting to see if a Tonys suits up

238
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: this week. O Shepherd Barkley obviously missed the last couple

239
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: of games. Uh. You think Kansas City comes back on track, Bailey? Yeah,

240
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: and it's a I think a double digit line at

241
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: least as of now of this taping, So I think

242
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: it should be a game where you see Patrick Mahomes

243
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: really ball out. All eyes will be on on Monday Night.

244
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: But see your guys point. I think Daniel Jones, with

245
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: his ability to get out of the pocket and pick

246
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: up potentially long yardage runs, could add a lot of

247
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: significant fantasy value for again, a week that doesn't have

248
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of buys but has starting quarterbacks who you

249
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: could be looking to grab someone off the waiver wire

250
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: and plug him in. So I think it could be

251
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: another shootout game. You know, Rich, There are a couple

252
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: other sound bites we have to address here, Michael Thomas,

253
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy each could play and should be added in

254
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: most leagues, And from my perspective, div you might want

255
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: to even take a flower on a guy named DeShawn

256
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Watson ahead of the trade deadline, right, I mean DeShawn

257
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: could get traded to perhaps even the Panthers of the Broncos,

258
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: maybe even the Washington football team, so keep an eye

259
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: on that as well. It's funny I had him on

260
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: my other league for a while, I drawed him and

261
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I just actually picked him up yesterday, so we'll see

262
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: what happens to that. Um the lowest point total week

263
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Gentleman San Francisco and the Bears thirty nine? Do we

264
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: stay away from everybody? Or Deebo and Elijah Mitchell for

265
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: the forty and honors? Well, from my perspective, you know,

266
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Brandon A. Yuke, Robbie Anderson, Odell Belckham Jr.

267
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, and they're all drops. Robinson on Chicago, they're

268
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: all drops. So you know my point is, that's, you know,

269
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, very difficult to get excited about

270
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: any of the players, with the accepted of Deebo, Samuel

271
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: maybe on San Francisco, Um, you know, to get excited

272
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: about any of those players in that game. See, I'll

273
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: take the other side. I really like Cleil Herbert again,

274
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: the running back for the Chicago Bears. He's been seeing

275
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of volume with David montgomeryal. He got eighteen

276
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: carries last week, over a hundred yards of total. Actually,

277
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: it could be an interesting play if you need someone

278
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: to fill into that flex and especially with just simply

279
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: the volume being there, he will get touches no matter

280
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: if they're playing from behind like they were last week,

281
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: or if they're ahead of the if they're somehow head. Okay,

282
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna end on sleeper picks. Both Damian and I

283
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones. I'll give you one other one before

284
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: we go to Bailey. Uh. If the Bengal Jet games

285
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: a blowout, maybe p Rhyan can get a late touch

286
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: on and get a couple of carries. So I'll give

287
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: you that to Kia. Keep an eye on who do

288
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: you like Billy as a possible sleeper pick this week.

289
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say p Ryan as a potential

290
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: as you said, running out the clock and what will

291
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: likely be a blowout, But I think my sleeper pick

292
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: is Hunter. Henry scores twice. I really like his potential

293
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: production and again what I think will be a shootout

294
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: game in Los Angeles. Mac Jones will rely on him,

295
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: and I think he gets in the endzone twice. I

296
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: think he's a terrific streaming tight end and if you

297
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: have some shortage and want to roll out of tight

298
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: end to your flex for some reason, he's not a

299
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: bad play. Oh. Thanks to Damian Sassour and Bailly Lop

300
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: show so Bloomberg, I am Rich Truman. You can catch
