Speaker 1: inside of studio at thirty four. This is the bf AS.
Speaker 1: Here is Frank Snapple. I am Greg Sosman. What's going on?
Speaker 1: But great? Happy Monday to your buddy. Fantasy football the championship.
Speaker 1: We want a baseball that's coming gone. We're doing a
Speaker 1: full Fantasy Baseball free you today. Just kidding, Greg, what
Speaker 1: what did we just watch? What do you mean? What
Speaker 1: did we just watch? In week sixteen, Greig watched the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Ball Frenzy a few moments ago. I just mean
Speaker 1: in general this week, Patrick mahomes ugly Christmas Swater by
Speaker 1: the way, that's nice, Swater. I show you where you rock.
Speaker 1: You rock that on your your party on Saturday, that's
Speaker 1: right if but I would you know, bringing some of
Speaker 1: the cheer here as well, Craggy. You know, this past
Speaker 1: week and did not go as we planned, Frank, for
Speaker 1: many people, well not just you and I, you know,
Speaker 1: for us specifically, this did not go as we plan. That.
Speaker 1: Someone can tell you these wires sticking out helpful? Your
Speaker 1: wires sticking out, Craig, your epidermisis showing. But you know, honestly, right,
Speaker 1: like some of the best matchups that we saw, DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins against the Bucks bust, Yeah, Deshaun Watson against the
Speaker 1: Bucks bust. It was a lot of that. Nick Chubb
Speaker 1: was a disaster this past weekend. Is Zekiel Elliott was
Speaker 1: a disaster this past weekend. You had a lot of that.
Speaker 1: And then you had a lot of guys that have
Speaker 1: come through for you coming through. Lamar Jackson, Rushbrs through
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns. Mark Andrews caught two of those touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, And how about this, Frank, the number one
Speaker 1: over all pick came through when it mattered most. The
Speaker 1: best game of his career, Barkley, Yeah, he had a
Speaker 1: monster game. Finally, came through. If you managed to make
Speaker 1: it to the Fantasy football finals, but sat kwon Barkley
Speaker 1: on your team, God bless you. That means you're probably
Speaker 1: celebrating a championship today. I would imagine most people who
Speaker 1: drafted se Kwon Barkley first, second, third, overall, whatever it
Speaker 1: might be. You probably didn't make it this far. But
Speaker 1: in case you did, congratulations to you, Greg. You hit
Speaker 1: it right on the head man. I mean, so many
Speaker 1: players busted this week, Dud's injuries. This happens every single week,
Speaker 1: and obviously you know it's it's under a microscope. When
Speaker 1: it's championship week. You know, there's so many eyes, there's
Speaker 1: so much attention on just this one week alone. But
Speaker 1: just big names man letting us down, players in good matchups,
Speaker 1: players getting hurt early on in the game. Um d J.
Speaker 1: Moore yesterday leaving that game early, Chris Carson leaving that game. Uh,
Speaker 1: the rest of the Seahawks, what happened there? Because the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, Russell Wilson, Jacob Hollister. Though DK Metcalf give
Speaker 1: you a zero, we thought what we thought San Francisco
Speaker 1: was his monster done a week ago. Now, Seattle gives
Speaker 1: you a done and now everything on the line this
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Seattle in San Francisco, I mean, real life football.
Speaker 1: Who cares about that? Are you Bury in the lead
Speaker 1: in the Lee with Seattle? Well, Marshawn Lynch back maybe
Speaker 1: maybe takes the rainbow. It seems like it is, I hope.
Speaker 1: So it's cool. What's more fun than Marshawn Lynch in
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs, Settle, let's go. He's he's in good shape.
Speaker 1: There's just there's no need to be I guess you're right.
Speaker 1: He's gotta play. He literally has to like a maximum
Speaker 1: of three games, four games making the super Bowl. They're
Speaker 1: not right, I can I can say that confidently. It
Speaker 1: was a maximum of four games. This Seattle Seahawks team
Speaker 1: peaked much earlier in the season. I don't know, dude,
Speaker 1: they were like the past couple of weeks they have
Speaker 1: just their offense hasn't been right. I never trusted their
Speaker 1: defense fully anyway. I don't think that they have a
Speaker 1: good Do you think they go into Philly they lose?
Speaker 1: Maybe not that far. I don't think Philly is a
Speaker 1: good team either. Play the first round. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: mean they might have a chance to. But I'm talking
Speaker 1: about once they go up against once they go up
Speaker 1: against those juggernauts like the Saints to forty niners. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't see these this Sunday night. So we'll see,
Speaker 1: we shall see potential preview. Do we get Frank wherever
Speaker 1: you want? Man? What a disaster of a week. How
Speaker 1: did your Fantasy football championship? Great? Great? I'm still alive.
Speaker 1: Technically I have a shot. I got Anthony Millard last night.
Speaker 1: You don't want that. You don't want to get Anthony
Speaker 1: Millard in week sixteen one catch for two yards. I
Speaker 1: am down eight points and a half PPR. I have
Speaker 1: Davante Adams going up against my dad and Mike Boone
Speaker 1: for your dad. Don't do that. Why do I still
Speaker 1: want to beat him? I don't want you to beat him.
Speaker 1: Why he deserves it. You should be rooting for me.
Speaker 1: You don't root for me. Were you playing this week, fan, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I would a root for you against him? Would you have? Probably? Maybe? Exactly? No,
Speaker 1: you don't know who I was playing this week of
Speaker 1: my finals. But yeah, so I need the bond to
Speaker 1: add to show up like I'm sure many people do
Speaker 1: play my player pool went okay, like it was really
Speaker 1: interesting because I think we should start like a weird
Speaker 1: spot if you don't mind, sure, I want to start
Speaker 1: in Miami where the Dolphins and the Bengals play this
Speaker 1: epic overtime game. Ryan Fitzpatrick was the stream. We talked
Speaker 1: about him being a potential stream. Two potential best games
Speaker 1: of the day were with the four worst teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right. Oh, sorry, by the way, the chase
Speaker 1: for Chase is no more. It's actually amazing. I didn't
Speaker 1: think he would affect me, like last night, Young is
Speaker 1: probably going to end Daniel Jones' career, right, so I
Speaker 1: legitimately didn't think I would get paid by avantage of
Speaker 1: ball anymore. Like I don't care like I work at
Speaker 1: my job. I'm so mad at myself. How set and
Speaker 1: depressed and anger I was yesterday. No, you should be,
Speaker 1: you should be. It was, yeah, I mean, look, obviously
Speaker 1: you don't feel great watching that Sunday night football game
Speaker 1: if you have any Bears involved, which I had no
Speaker 1: money involved, and I got Anthony Miller there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a terrible feeling. He was watching it happen, Judy. He's
Speaker 1: walking around the apartment it's not my house, my homes
Speaker 1: and I'm like, can you shut up? You got owned
Speaker 1: by Judy owned. She asked me about my playoff pool,
Speaker 1: which I've started, you know, it starts obviously next week.
Speaker 1: And I was like, do you do you want a team? Like? Well,
Speaker 1: how much is? It was like a hundred boxes? No,
Speaker 1: I will be a consultant on your team. Does that
Speaker 1: mean you like make money if I win? Ah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're married. It's it's half my money. You're about to
Speaker 1: say something else there. I think you're about saying we're married.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that. I wasn't meant to say that. Yes,
Speaker 1: um yeah, So you know it's frustrating anyway, I want
Speaker 1: to start in Miami Dolphins. Let because it's right. You
Speaker 1: laughed at me for Miles Gaskin. Who's laughing now he laughing?
Speaker 1: I also, oh, man, who's oj how he still sucks?
Speaker 1: By the way, well, a lot of tight ends sucks.
Speaker 1: I try to tell you Howard sucks. You do believe
Speaker 1: me again? At least he didn't give you a donut.
Speaker 1: You give you donut, but ribits. Patrick. We talked about
Speaker 1: him as a stream. He was fantastic. Parker capped off
Speaker 1: his unbelievable season yesterday the only way he knows how.
Speaker 1: So the reason I start with this game, he's because
Speaker 1: of what happened last minute. Right you get word an
Speaker 1: hour before game time. Joe Mixing is hungover from going
Speaker 1: to Live Joe or or left wherever he was like before,
Speaker 1: he's got a stomach flu. AKA he's picking his guts
Speaker 1: out because he's drank too much. So what do you
Speaker 1: do with Joe Mixon? I had this decision in the
Speaker 1: play airpool. Hopefully you didn't listen to me. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you know what I did. Frank will tell you
Speaker 1: what he told. People will get a Joe Mixing the
Speaker 1: stat line. We'll talk about Derek Henry letting everybody down yesterday,
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Stick around your fantasy football recap.
Speaker 1: He's up night. Sports grid dot Com Betting insides and
Speaker 1: entertainment at your fingertips as our team covers the most
Speaker 1: important topics in sports wagering, real time odds, predictive betting models,
Speaker 1: expert picks, and more want the edge than get on
Speaker 1: the grid sports grid dot Com. So the news breaks
Speaker 1: the Joe Mixes greg he had a flu leven. He
Speaker 1: didn't sleep, yeah, right in Miami. Yeah, it hit a
Speaker 1: flu in the warm weather of uh of Miami, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know he was at the club late, that's fine,
Speaker 1: probably walking out of at six am and was like,
Speaker 1: oh f So the news breaks for every all these
Speaker 1: reporters saying Joe Mixon is not himself. So fantasy owners
Speaker 1: nineties before game time inclue myself, what do you do?
Speaker 1: What did you recommend people do? Frank? Yeah, I still
Speaker 1: wanted to use Joe Mixon because of the matchup, obviously
Speaker 1: going up against the Miami Dolphins. Right, we all saw
Speaker 1: the report. You know, personally, if I would have had
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, I would have left him in there because
Speaker 1: I would imagine that even a seventy five percent Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon should be able to do well against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team that has given up
Speaker 1: fantasy points to every position all all season long, running backs,
Speaker 1: wide receiver's, quarterbacks. It doesn't matter. So I didn't want
Speaker 1: to shy away from it. But obviously, in hindsight, I
Speaker 1: guess you have to take one of these reports more seriously,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes down to UH being in Miami,
Speaker 1: like we should have been able to put this all together, Greg,
Speaker 1: So I did put it together, and yet I still
Speaker 1: left Joe Mixing in my mind. So not the only one.
Speaker 1: And I know I hate when you do this. I'll
Speaker 1: call I'll call myself out for it. We were right,
Speaker 1: we got it right. Here's John Mixing carry the ball
Speaker 1: twenty one times. Process. He caught two passage yesterday, so
Speaker 1: our process was right. He got stuff with the goal
Speaker 1: line multiple times. If he falls into the end zone
Speaker 1: and he doesn't get stuff, we're feeling great, right, seventy
Speaker 1: three yards and touchdown. That's fine, he didn't. You had
Speaker 1: stuff to the goal line. Mixing still touched the ball
Speaker 1: twenty three times yesterday. But I've told you before the
Speaker 1: game time that he would touch the ball twenty three times.
Speaker 1: Would yeah, you would still have them ranks of the
Speaker 1: top ten running back for sure. So that's why we
Speaker 1: did the right thing. We did all right. I will
Speaker 1: believe you. Although this is cool, this is cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is we we normally do. It's not bad. That's
Speaker 1: some different some different there for the holidays. That's cool.
Speaker 1: Tiler Void was very good, though, Heller fantastic. Hellero I hope.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow like throwing to the slot next. Fifteen targets
Speaker 1: yesterday for Tyler Boyd. Thirteen targets for Johnny Ross. Johnny
Speaker 1: Ross he has six for eighty four. The Ghost of
Speaker 1: John Ross was back in Week sixteen against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Solid game for him, just tons of volume on both sides.
Speaker 1: Fifty two passing attempts for Fitzpatrick, Any Dalton fifty six
Speaker 1: passing attempts, So just crazy volume here. You mentioned Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick finishing as the QB three. He's been great the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, helping Devantay Parker get paid. You
Speaker 1: mentioned Devantay Parker before we hit the break, Greg uh
Speaker 1: five for one, eleven and one. Was not efficient, only
Speaker 1: called five of fifteen targets, but that kind of volume
Speaker 1: has made Devantay Parker a legitimate wide receiver too this year.
Speaker 1: And our boy Magic Mike, like I told you last week,
Speaker 1: Greg six for eight, two and two. This guy is
Speaker 1: going to be one of the hype sleepers heading into season.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt he's not a sleeper, it's he's going
Speaker 1: to be projected to be a top twelve, top twelve
Speaker 1: title that's frustrating. It's not a sleeper. Yeah, stop performing,
Speaker 1: Mike Kasecki. Who would you rather happen next year, Frank,
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker or Tyler Boyd Well. Obviously it's gonna come
Speaker 1: down to quarterback play, greg who quarterback Tea? But yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is going to be the quarterback of the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know who the quarterback of Miami
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I think that they're probably still going
Speaker 1: to draft to I don't know that two is going
Speaker 1: to be healthy enough or or they want to throw
Speaker 1: him in there right away. I think it's possibly the
Speaker 1: draft too and just bring Fitzpatrick back. Yeah, so if
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is the quarterback, I probably would lean with DeVante
Speaker 1: Parker over a rookie quarterback in Joe Burrow. Although I
Speaker 1: do think Joe Burrow is gonna be very good. He's
Speaker 1: still going to be a rookie quarterback. I like both
Speaker 1: of these players heading into next year. But if it's
Speaker 1: fits back with the Dolphins, give me DeVante Parker. Area.
Speaker 1: So the other game that really spat out of control
Speaker 1: before games Line of slock at one was the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans and Derrick Henry not playing, so everybody rushed. Everybody
Speaker 1: woke up to this. There was like a seven am
Speaker 1: report from Schefter like, yeah, Derrick Henry is not gonna play.
Speaker 1: So I was really nervous because I was in my
Speaker 1: finals and I usually here on Sunday mornings. I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I was in Philly for Hanakah, and I wound up
Speaker 1: at nine am paying Lewis. I was like, oh crap,
Speaker 1: they got him. I would have used them over Manuel Sanders,
Speaker 1: but nevertheless. So anyway, so Dean Lewis starts the Titans
Speaker 1: and we are a I guess this whole shows me
Speaker 1: talking process over results, because two games in a room.
Speaker 1: My two favorite bets Frankie over this weekend was the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in the Tennessee Titans. I loved both of them,
Speaker 1: and the both spots were right. The odds for the
Speaker 1: Bills six and a half. I lost by seven. This game,
Speaker 1: believe was three, and I saw it, okay, so it
Speaker 1: was at three and a half. The game was a
Speaker 1: field goal game until Michael Thomas scores the very end
Speaker 1: of the game, and I'm just like, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I am so annoyed, but It's true, is how it
Speaker 1: always works. The Saints went into Tennessee put up thirty
Speaker 1: eight points away from the dome. Michael Thomas breaks the
Speaker 1: all time receiving record with a week togo ridiculous. That
Speaker 1: still put up twenty eight points, and you know I
Speaker 1: got the job doing. In fact, A J. Brown sucked
Speaker 1: as a receiver when he came through as a running backdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you love that one, John Uh A J. Brown? Look,
Speaker 1: this is he's just he's this talented, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: just trying manufactured ways to get the ball in his hands.
Speaker 1: We knew it would be a tougher situation here for
Speaker 1: A J. Brown going up against Marshawn Lattimore. Um, but
Speaker 1: still I would have liked to see more than two
Speaker 1: targets for A J. Brown in this game. Still got
Speaker 1: in the end zone. He helped you out. Dion Lewis
Speaker 1: had sixteen touches in his game. He was fine as
Speaker 1: a flex. That's why I ranked him yesterday. And I
Speaker 1: think if you started him as your flex, like you
Speaker 1: don't love the performance that got. But he didn't bust
Speaker 1: by any means either. Ryan Tannehill just continues to get
Speaker 1: it done to seventy two and three touchdowns. We mentioned
Speaker 1: last week, Greg on the fand will hurry up that
Speaker 1: we like Johnny Smith as a tight end stream he
Speaker 1: comes through as well. I think he will be a
Speaker 1: sleeper tight end heading into the season. I think Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill is the quarterback of the Tennessee Titans next year
Speaker 1: as well. The Adam Gates revenge tour continues. Tannehill performs yesterday.
Speaker 1: Kayan Drake who will get to performed yesterday. Vante Parker
Speaker 1: we talked about performed yesterday. Everybody who Adam Gaze has
Speaker 1: coached turns to gold once Adam Gaze is gone. Not
Speaker 1: a surprise there. Alvin Kamara, Greg on the other side,
Speaker 1: took you long enough. Week three was the last time
Speaker 1: that Alvin Kamara and scored a touchdown. It is now
Speaker 1: week sixteen, but he does come through again, similar to
Speaker 1: se Kwan Barkley. If you're an Alvin Kamara owner, so
Speaker 1: I don't know that you made it to the finals,
Speaker 1: but if you somehow looked down and got Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: later on in your drafts and you picked up some
Speaker 1: of these players like A. J. Brown And and Devanta Parker,
Speaker 1: maybe you did make it to the finals, and if
Speaker 1: you did, you should have continued to trust Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: because we knew coming into this game the Titans allowed
Speaker 1: a ton of receptions to running backs. He caught the ball,
Speaker 1: he scored two touchdowns. Alvin Kamara is gonna be a
Speaker 1: first round pick next year. Don't worry about the fact
Speaker 1: that touchdown regression hit him really hard this season. Hopefully
Speaker 1: it comes back the other way next season. You named
Speaker 1: all these players that really came through. Let me ask
Speaker 1: this cook Man, Gosh, what a season like? No one's
Speaker 1: talking about it. Three four and two. He's been great.
Speaker 1: He got off to a slow star like the first
Speaker 1: month of the season, he wasn't great. But from the
Speaker 1: middle of the season on week five, six seven, Eric
Speaker 1: cook has been great at the tight end position. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic at the tight end position this year,
Speaker 1: a tough spot. Obviously, Michael Thomas was ridiculous this year.
Speaker 1: That whole throw the ball not for Michael Thomas to
Speaker 1: be good that then age Well, yeah, and I didn't
Speaker 1: draft Michael Thomas anyway. Yeah, I look, we hold ourselves
Speaker 1: accountable here on the show. We we did not drive
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas anywhere and I legitimately said I didn't want
Speaker 1: him because I didn't think that he had upside. You
Speaker 1: were wrong. I was wrong. I was very wrong. I said, look,
Speaker 1: all right, he's finished wide receiver six. Why does sher
Speaker 1: seven wide receiver eight each of the past three years.
Speaker 1: That's who he is. He's not gonna be better than that,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. I was wrong. He's the wide receiver one.
Speaker 1: He just broke the record for most receptions in a
Speaker 1: single season NFL. Histo, that's what he did. You can't
Speaker 1: guard him. Um the Tyler boy Dmont Parker question, where's
Speaker 1: a J. Brown fall in that? But edit him to
Speaker 1: the max? Um? I let's all right. So assuming Joe
Speaker 1: Burrows the quarterback, I probably would have a J. Brown
Speaker 1: between them. I think if Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback,
Speaker 1: I would take Vante Parker first. I would take Parker first,
Speaker 1: and then I would take a J. Brown, just Hi Brown,
Speaker 1: and then I would take not do that while the
Speaker 1: split skins going on, please thank you, and then I
Speaker 1: would take Um whatever we're talking about last. Everyone could
Speaker 1: see you moving the camera round and second Um, and
Speaker 1: then Tyler body would be last for me. With a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. But I think all three are gonna be
Speaker 1: solid to low end wide receiver twos. Like. I think
Speaker 1: that's fair. I think they're going to be all mid
Speaker 1: round wide receivers, all right. I think they're all been
Speaker 1: around receiver wide receivers. Were all guys that I want.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we come back, let's chat
Speaker 1: about Houston and Tamma Bay from Saturday, a game that
Speaker 1: I freely could write on one end, not so much
Speaker 1: on the other end. We'll describe to that on the
Speaker 1: other side of us sports grid dot Com Betting insights

Speaker 1: then back here on the VFFS Frank Stafford, that's Greig Susman.
Speaker 1: Howdy Frank, Hello, Greg helly uh Payson Bills. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Get in the game with the Draft Kickings

Speaker 1: At sports grew dot com slash dk to play if
Speaker 1: you have a gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler
Speaker 1: prow and over in Jersey only. Eligibility Restriction supplies you
Speaker 1: website for details. So you had the promos gotta go,
Speaker 1: and the promo was saying that Jamis Winston was like,
Speaker 1: must start this week. I don't care who he has
Speaker 1: a dr rodo, but you gotta play Jamis Winston. If
Speaker 1: you did, he threw for three hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, but not one note, not three
Speaker 1: four interceptions including a interception run back or a touchdown.
Speaker 1: That was one of the only things they got right
Speaker 1: this yet week. This week was play whatever defense plays
Speaker 1: Jamis and that was the Houston Texans four time, four time,
Speaker 1: four time four time interception champion Jamis Winston, whoa throws
Speaker 1: for a ton of yards, only through for one touchdown.
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones Man. This was the road Joe game. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see what the Bucks doing the
Speaker 1: off season, whether they trade for a David Johnson or
Speaker 1: bring someone else in at running back, or finally hand
Speaker 1: the keys over to Ronald Jones. He's clearly good enough
Speaker 1: five play five yards for carry at a forty nine
Speaker 1: yard run. He looked really impressive on that play. Caught
Speaker 1: the ball three times. He had three receptions, four targets.
Speaker 1: Perryman came through to Greg seven receptions for a hundred
Speaker 1: and two yards. If you're playing a PPR league, he
Speaker 1: finishes the top fifteen wide receiver this week. Perryman came through.
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones was good. I don't know how many people
Speaker 1: actually used him. Winston was a dud. O. J. Howard
Speaker 1: not great, but Justin Watson scored a touchdown. Look, there's
Speaker 1: a tons of volume volume in this offense, but as
Speaker 1: long as Winston is there, you're pretty not much to
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. You're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of passing attempts, you're gonna get a lot of yards,
Speaker 1: but you're also going to get a lot of interceptions
Speaker 1: and a lot of inconsistencies, a lot of question marks
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, not just at the running back position
Speaker 1: with Jamis as well. You have no idea if he'll
Speaker 1: be back next year. The rumor was that they'll franchise
Speaker 1: him or transition tagging or something. A lot of questions
Speaker 1: to be answered still when it comes to Tampa by Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: But shot Perriman. If you started him seven for one
Speaker 1: out two, you're very, very satisfied with that. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I mentioned before Greg that he was a top fifteen
Speaker 1: wide receiver in PPR leagues, and I had him ranked
Speaker 1: top twenty. A lot of people were worried about Perriman.
Speaker 1: What was he gonna do this week? Obviously it was
Speaker 1: a popular pickup, but the twelve targets was amazing, So yeah,
Speaker 1: he actually came through. If he used Perriman. He was
Speaker 1: one of the better calls this week for everybody on
Speaker 1: the other side, with Houston the biggest dogs this week,
Speaker 1: arguably everybody outside of Carl's Hyde and even he, I mean,
Speaker 1: seventeen carries for twenty seven yards as he found the
Speaker 1: end one when five yards we carry. Yeah, it looked
Speaker 1: tough match against Tampa Bay. He got in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, Why did this team trade for Duke Johnson?
Speaker 1: Why did this team trade for Duke Johnson anything? They
Speaker 1: don't have a GM. Bill O'Brien is a joke of
Speaker 1: a head coach. They're not gonna win the way that
Speaker 1: this team is currently set up. They're just not. They
Speaker 1: need more structure, they need a legitimate general manager. They
Speaker 1: need a head coach that doesn't choke in big spots.
Speaker 1: They have a franchise quarterback at times, they have pieces
Speaker 1: on defense when J. J. Watkins stay healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: they have a few other players that can rush the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Secondaries older now, but you have pieces here. You have
Speaker 1: one of the three best wide receivers in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You traded a third round pick for Duke Johnson and
Speaker 1: you don't even use him. So it's just frustrating all around,
Speaker 1: and I think it's been a frustrating season for the Texans.
Speaker 1: Watson has been great for fantasy, Hopkins has been great.
Speaker 1: Not this week. They were two of the bigger losers
Speaker 1: to the bigger duds that let you down in Week sixteen,
Speaker 1: But that was basically the theme of this week, Graig.
Speaker 1: We kicked off the show talking about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: these were the these were the guys that basically led
Speaker 1: the charge of busses. Man. I just felt so crappy.
Speaker 1: So will Fuller gets hurt, the guy can't stay healthy never,
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen never, And there's rutal, brutal outing
Speaker 1: for everybody with Houston, New England and Buffalo. He told
Speaker 1: everybody up to bench. Julian Edelman five for seventy two
Speaker 1: and a two point in version later, how did you
Speaker 1: feel about your call? I think he was he was alright.
Speaker 1: He was probably better than expected. You know. I saw
Speaker 1: him get out there and you know, a few times
Speaker 1: he's getting up slowly, he's wincing in pain. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't terrible. He wasn't a complete dud
Speaker 1: like like everyone thought he was going to be. I
Speaker 1: finished his wide receiver twenty seven, so I had him
Speaker 1: ranked a little bit lower than that. He still wasn't great,
Speaker 1: but I think, considering the situation, I think you should
Speaker 1: be happy with what you ended up getting out of
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. This week, Greg, the Bella Tricks are back,
Speaker 1: Rex Birkhead. Baby thought, what a game? What are you ever?
Speaker 1: Rex Berge and actually carries for ninety six yards. I mean,
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad. He was fine. It's weird. We I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the page is gonna be
Speaker 1: like in the playoffs nine. I have no idea, nobody
Speaker 1: ever knows. And then they get into the playoffs and
Speaker 1: they run all over you with Tony Michelle and James
Speaker 1: White's gonna have fifteen catches. That was a bad call
Speaker 1: this week. Honestly, I thought that this set up for
Speaker 1: a James White game, but totally ultimately, you know, they
Speaker 1: figured it was the Rex Birkhead game. Greig gets in
Speaker 1: the ground, gets in the end zone on the ground,
Speaker 1: also adds five catches, four catches for seventy seven yards.
Speaker 1: It was this big Rex Birkhead game to figure out um.
Speaker 1: On the other side for Buffalo, Cole Beasley excellent end
Speaker 1: of the season, seven for one oh eight. John Brown
Speaker 1: catches a long touchdown, which is good. Dawson Knox will
Speaker 1: be somebody you probably talked up next year and I
Speaker 1: laugh at you about, Yeah, come on, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Greig athletic profile is there. He just profile. The pedigree
Speaker 1: is there, but I do think that the opportunity should
Speaker 1: grow for Dawson Knox going into his season. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: was solid tworder than eight yards, two touchdowns, eight yards
Speaker 1: per attempt against the best past defense in the NFL. Uh.
Speaker 1: He actually got it done. From a fantasy perspective, I
Speaker 1: know that a lot of people were worried about him,
Speaker 1: but he was better than I thought as well. Devin
Speaker 1: Singletary can't say the same for him. He still saw
Speaker 1: the big workload. He played a lot of snaps, but
Speaker 1: just fifteen carries for forty six yards. The Patriots run
Speaker 1: defense turned it around in this game. Greg, Yeah, absolutely
Speaker 1: freaking lutely um. Josh Allen finishes his season thirteen completed
Speaker 1: passes against the Patriots Georgian eight yards, two touched. As
Speaker 1: for whatever you started him, I feel okay about it
Speaker 1: how it turned out. Probably Greg on the season, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is QUB six. Yeah. Great, great year for him,
Speaker 1: really great year. Whatever he goes next year, he will
Speaker 1: be go around this range. I think like a top six,
Speaker 1: top eight quarterback drafted. Yeah. I mean people are always
Speaker 1: gonna be tantalized by the rushing upside. They see what
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson does. Obviously Josh Allen is not gonna do that,
Speaker 1: but ye adds a lot with his legs. He's like,
Speaker 1: what nine rushing touchdowns? He's been great. Saturday night, you
Speaker 1: saw the Rams and the Niners go at it. George
Speaker 1: Kittle did his thing. That was about it for San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Besides a miraculous catched by Manny Sanders. It wasn't enough.
Speaker 1: It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. Forty
Speaker 1: not for me, for you, sorry, Bud. Yeah, three for sixty,
Speaker 1: one for Emmanuel Sanders Kittle. This continues to get it done.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how many people are
Speaker 1: on the draft height end early strategy next year. Greg.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a lot of people who
Speaker 1: were just left streaming tight end all year this year
Speaker 1: like they are every single year, and they're like, no,
Speaker 1: this is the year I'm finally going in. I'm using
Speaker 1: a late first early second round pick on a tight end.
Speaker 1: Uh So we'll we'll see what happens. I don't think
Speaker 1: that I'm going to be one of those owners next year.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I won't be, but like I will admit
Speaker 1: it's worth it, like it's warranty. I will admit yesterday
Speaker 1: after watching the Eagles game and I know that Um
Speaker 1: with that a second and zacch Or it's like broke
Speaker 1: a rib, But thinking, man, it would be really nice
Speaker 1: to just have Zach Art's really nice to have George Kittle,
Speaker 1: really nice to have Travis Kelsey and not worry about
Speaker 1: this crap weeks. The week you always find Peay. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they always find someoney with Will Disley, whether it's Um,
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee, We'll got one in just one second, right,
Speaker 1: Like it's you know, it takes some luck, right, but
Speaker 1: that's fantasy football. You pick up one of these tight
Speaker 1: end guys, You're right. I mean there have been guys
Speaker 1: that have emerged throughout the course of the season as well.
Speaker 1: I mean even we spoke about this last week when
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about the tight end preview
Speaker 1: for there were a lot of late tight ends this
Speaker 1: year that people knew head upside, and they came through
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews top five tight ends seemingly all year long.
Speaker 1: Darren Waller hasn't really gotten the end zone as much
Speaker 1: as we hope, but the targets of receptions have been
Speaker 1: there for him. Austin Hooper had a great season as well,
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of derailed by injury a little
Speaker 1: bit there in the middle part of the season. But
Speaker 1: there are there's going to be late tight ends that
Speaker 1: we're going to be able to identify next year coming
Speaker 1: into the season that are gonna be able to provide
Speaker 1: some serious value. And as of right now, it seems
Speaker 1: like a few of those names will be Gaseki, John
Speaker 1: hu Smith, Dawson Knox is one of them as well,
Speaker 1: just to name a few. Yeah, Dawson Knox, Sorry but sorry, Buddy.
Speaker 1: Tyler Higby, I'm really interested to see what he becomes
Speaker 1: if they continue to use him like this, because Cooper,
Speaker 1: it's very clear the office is change. With Tyler Higby
Speaker 1: be in the main tight end and being very involved
Speaker 1: Nimber one of four, he's basically become Cooper Cup. He's
Speaker 1: the better all around tight end, So I think Joel
Speaker 1: Levert's a good pass catcher, but Tyler Higby is the
Speaker 1: better blocker, so he gives them a different element where
Speaker 1: when he's on the field, it's almost like the Patriots
Speaker 1: running backs, right like they like these versatile running backs
Speaker 1: who can catch the ball and they can run the ball.
Speaker 1: When Tyler Higbe is on the field, you don't know
Speaker 1: whether or not he's gonna be in there blocking to
Speaker 1: help Todd Gurley. I mean, that's why we've seen Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley played better recently over the past months, scoring more
Speaker 1: touchdowns at least. But he's a great pass catcher as well.
Speaker 1: So four straight games for Tyler Higby over a hundred yards.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be another one. It's gonna be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: You know how they talk him up in the off season.
Speaker 1: You know what they do with what they do with
Speaker 1: both of these guys, Higbye and Ever. I believe Higby
Speaker 1: got the contract extension before the season, right, Greig. They
Speaker 1: paid Higby, They they paid both of them. Would just Higby?
Speaker 1: I believe that they paid Higbee. They might have paid
Speaker 1: both of them, but they definitely paid Higby. So they
Speaker 1: clearly want to get him involved, and they should. The
Speaker 1: offense has been better recently. Where does Tyler Where does
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley get drafted next year? I know not by
Speaker 1: you like, where does Tgg Gurley get drafted? I think
Speaker 1: he'll be a late second, early third round pick low
Speaker 1: n RB one high n RB two similar ranges, like
Speaker 1: an Aaron Jones, what does that make sense? He does?
Speaker 1: And there is a lot of sense. I mean, there
Speaker 1: are two guys that are just so dependent on touchdowns,
Speaker 1: so dependent because the yardage on a weekly basis, you
Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna be. The difference between the
Speaker 1: Packers and the Rams is. You know, Todd Gurley is
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball correct with the Packers, like Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams has just been annoying. He's been there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're both touched ondependent running backs heading into
Speaker 1: next year. Um, so we'll see. I think that they're
Speaker 1: lower n RB ones probably on in that late second round,
Speaker 1: early third round range for Girly and Aaron Jones. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to the player that one you league and
Speaker 1: we always look for who that player is gonna be time.
Speaker 1: I think we certainly one of them. But just like
Speaker 1: it was two years ago, the answer the answer Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: You grabbed Kenyan Drake when he was traded to the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: You want remember everyone at that time was like, sell
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. He's got two matchups with the forty Niners
Speaker 1: coming up. How did that work out? How do you feel? Now,
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, we'll dive into
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake and the Cardinals upset of the Seahawks. Were
Speaker 1: did into the Eagles and Cowboys as well well on
Speaker 1: more to come. The sports grid dot Com Betting insights
Speaker 1: and entertainment at your fingertips as our team covers the
Speaker 1: most important topics in sports wagering, real time odds, predictive
Speaker 1: betting model, else, expert picks and more want the edge
Speaker 1: than get on the grid. Sports grid dot Com bff's
Speaker 1: going right up to the top of the our wager talk,
Speaker 1: but up next with Ralph Michaels and Teddy covers. As
Speaker 1: I said, Frankie to you, Teddy and Drake won many,
Speaker 1: many many people leagues this year and he was once
Speaker 1: again spectacular yesterday in the Cardinals victory over the Seattle
Speaker 1: set twenty four carries, one hundred and sixty six yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Of course you had that eighty yards scamper
Speaker 1: which was fantastic. David Johnson was the back of your
Speaker 1: two carries for three yards. Chris Chris chesse h j
Speaker 1: Edmonds did nothing. Free agent v Kenyan Drake what the
Speaker 1: hell do they do? I don't know. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be part of the running back carousel here in the
Speaker 1: off season, Ruin I. I can't remember or in recent
Speaker 1: years this many running backs being available via free agency
Speaker 1: or via trade, whether it's Kareem Hunt, Levian Bell, David Johnson,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. I feel like I'm probably missing somebody else
Speaker 1: as well. But there's a lot of running backs out there,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be very interesting to see. And there's
Speaker 1: other players that are gonna be involved obviously, right, So
Speaker 1: you know, if someone goes to Tampa, then Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: gets buried there, If Levian Bell leaves the Jets, what
Speaker 1: do they do? Do they do they sign somebody else
Speaker 1: or do they draft a month? So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a crazy offseason in terms of running backs. But
Speaker 1: you're right, Greig. Look, Kenyan Drake finishes as the RB
Speaker 1: three this week, put up a forty burger last week,
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in Week sixteen, comes back here with a
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six rushing yards two touchdowns. He just
Speaker 1: looks the part I don't understand, Like it's not rocket science. Man,
Speaker 1: how many years have we been saying this about Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake three years in a row, like the guy passes
Speaker 1: the eye test every time, and then like we're left
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, well, there's gotta be something going
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes in Miami. Doesn't all the playbook,
Speaker 1: or doesn't get along with the coach is or something.
Speaker 1: But the guy could play. That's all that matters. We
Speaker 1: say this every single week about different players, and it's
Speaker 1: very obvious to us. I don't know why it takes
Speaker 1: teams and coaches and for offices so long to figure
Speaker 1: this out. It's not hard play the best players, but
Speaker 1: you give yourself a chance to win games. And that's
Speaker 1: exactly what Kenyan Drake does for the Cardinals. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what he does for fantasy owners as well. If he
Speaker 1: ends up in a backfield where he's projected to get
Speaker 1: let's say, of the snaps every single week over two
Speaker 1: fifty touches for this season, I mean, this guy should
Speaker 1: be going in the same range as Todd Gurley and
Speaker 1: Aaron Jonales, Like we're talking about the second third round pick.
Speaker 1: That's that's what he should be. Realistically, I'd like to
Speaker 1: see he'd be able to stay healthy. He got banged
Speaker 1: up like twice yesterday. He's a frail guy, right, So
Speaker 1: can he have that touches? I get it? Can he
Speaker 1: survive all season long? Well, that's the thing, right, Like
Speaker 1: he's never been given a full workload over an entire season.
Speaker 1: We've seen it in three four weeks Spurts. He's done
Speaker 1: it now with with the Cardinals. For you know, since
Speaker 1: he's joined the team. He's been consistently playing over six
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps with the team since he's joined them.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if you can hold off throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the entire season. On the other side, lar
Speaker 1: I Fitzgerald scored in one of his potential last games
Speaker 1: of his career for forty eight a touchdown. You want
Speaker 1: to talk abo players, let you down, Frank Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at the box score. Uh what did
Speaker 1: it say there? Greg? There's a lot of zeros? Oh well,
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy? Um, there's a name on the
Speaker 1: other side of this game too, d k Medcal Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is what is that? A lot of zeros there? Zeros? Zero?
Speaker 1: Tyler is a lot of ones? Oh well that that
Speaker 1: counts for something. It's better than zero, right, not much?
Speaker 1: You had eight targets. Do you plan a point per
Speaker 1: target leave I've been trying to tell you that we don't. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: O J. Howard is great in those two. But he's
Speaker 1: awesome in those Dude, DK metcal Christian Kirk, I mean,
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson, what's going on? Man? Like this Cardinals
Speaker 1: defense is not a good one. No, they like go
Speaker 1: of Terrell Sudds and somehow become better. It's very bad. Look,
Speaker 1: every team has had success throwing the ball against the
Speaker 1: Cardinals in the past two weeks. Russell Wilson and Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield have not been able to So maybe they figured
Speaker 1: something out. They are playing better, obviously, but just terrible
Speaker 1: letdown spot for Russell Wilson completes under just around fifty
Speaker 1: of his passes. And yeah, look, I liked Hoyle Locket
Speaker 1: admittedly I know a lot of people did. I really
Speaker 1: like Dk Metcalf as well. Just one target. I mean,
Speaker 1: get the guy an opportunity. We're throwing the ball to
Speaker 1: to Malik Turner, We're throwing the ball to Travis Homer.
Speaker 1: But this is like fifth string running back Travis Homer,
Speaker 1: literally the fifth string running back, and just throwing up
Speaker 1: to t k Mecca. He won't get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: the first string running back because Tina has lost Criss
Speaker 1: Cars and they lost for John Penny. They have lost
Speaker 1: c J. Process. So now that we were going to
Speaker 1: turn to Travis Homer, where were they? Because they bring
Speaker 1: in Bob Turman Old and we're waiting for them the Seahawk,
Speaker 1: We're waiting for them to check out Alex Collins and
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael. Instead they went father back, father further back,
Speaker 1: or they're back. They went deep into the well. Official
Speaker 1: for our purposes, but people are listening to this will
Speaker 1: face more taste of rainbow. Marshall Lynch is gonna be back.
Speaker 1: If you playing a week seventeen league, you're you're picking
Speaker 1: up Marshall Lynch right now? Are you just act for that?
Speaker 1: They probably want to get him a few touches right
Speaker 1: in this game, get him up to game speed. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You gotta get him a few maybe like four. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But when I said reularly, oh, it doesn't matter, he's
Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch, I agree, but I don't think they need
Speaker 1: him for this week. It's the week after they have
Speaker 1: concerned about Yeah, you were, you didn't say, Frank going
Speaker 1: to this game, that somebody who's gonna let you down
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks, And he thought there's a good chance
Speaker 1: it was Jacob Hollister. That the question. The fact was
Speaker 1: it was everybody's Jacob Hollister. Chris Carson let you down
Speaker 1: because of injury. Everybody like he was performing badly. But man,
Speaker 1: it's it's a rough way for the season to end
Speaker 1: for Chris Carson. He will be placed on i R
Speaker 1: season ending. Believe he fractured his hip. He did, Yes,
Speaker 1: that sounds like it hurts. Yeah, that's that's a major
Speaker 1: injury here. But a great fantasy season for Chris Carson nonetheless,
Speaker 1: And while we're talking about running backs going in early rounds,
Speaker 1: I think that he will be right there and that
Speaker 1: mix as well. I'd rather have Chris Carson than the
Speaker 1: other guess, yeah, I think that's fair to say, Um, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if well we're sp Penny's not gonna be
Speaker 1: back to start the season either, probably close. But they
Speaker 1: have proved like Chris Carson is their guy. Ris Carson
Speaker 1: is their guy. I think Carson to me is my guy.
Speaker 1: In that scenariol though he said don't hip injury and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's seems like he
Speaker 1: has been injury prone to ye, but assuming everything, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, Carson, Aaron Jones, Girly and if Kenyan Drake
Speaker 1: Landsay starting job somewhere, they're they're all going in those
Speaker 1: first three rounds of us. Talk to another one of
Speaker 1: the running backs that maybe in that range, Frank Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders twenty carries yesterday, seventy nine yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He also led this tea or did the others were
Speaker 1: receiving because Dallas gotter keep on late, but five or
Speaker 1: seventy seven through the air, Miles Sanders was just a
Speaker 1: monster Monster Fantasy Championship performance. Once Jordan Howard went down,
Speaker 1: they really did turn the offense over Miles Sanders, and
Speaker 1: he's performed. It was a monster game City for Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: but it could have been better. You saw the play,
Speaker 1: you didn't see it. So it just happened a million
Speaker 1: times in fantasies. It's gonna happen a million more. Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders wasting the clock out, breaks off a huge run.
Speaker 1: He's running for like would be sixty yard touchdown. No
Speaker 1: one's even close to it went down. He just slides
Speaker 1: down like the yard. You know, it's really so painful
Speaker 1: for fantasy because look, even if he scores a touchdown there,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are not coming back at that point, they're
Speaker 1: down fourteen, you kick the extra point, you're up fifteen.
Speaker 1: You know, it's actually crazy. So I didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: see that Sanders. Yeah, so I had another like sixty yards.
Speaker 1: We watched the whole game on my phone on the
Speaker 1: train in the tunnel, and I looked at my team
Speaker 1: that had Miles Sanders on and and he had a
Speaker 1: good day over in over a hundred total yards. At
Speaker 1: the time, they'd only rushed for like forty yards or so.
Speaker 1: And then I look at the boss score at my
Speaker 1: point when on this is weird, like a thirty eight
Speaker 1: yards rush, let's come from And now I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it really happens. That's exactly what it was. And it
Speaker 1: could have been even better, Greg, It could have been
Speaker 1: even better, Greg. Miles Sanders is one of these players.
Speaker 1: And look, everyone predicted this. Everyone and their mother said
Speaker 1: he this is someone you draft for the second half
Speaker 1: of the Session's gonna come alive. He's gonna help you
Speaker 1: win fantasy football. Championships. This was one that across the industry,
Speaker 1: a lot of people got it right. Maybe not earlier
Speaker 1: on in the season. There was a large majority of
Speaker 1: people who thought he would help us UH fantasy owners
Speaker 1: and the Eagles early in the season that did not happen.
Speaker 1: Based on what he's doing now, Miles Sanders is gonna
Speaker 1: go higher than all the players we just spoke about.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you where Howard would not be back with
Speaker 1: this team. If Myles Standers is projected to be the
Speaker 1: starting running back and it's like him and Boston Scott
Speaker 1: and like whatever j Hi is, like the third tring
Speaker 1: running back, they bring back Josh Adams whatever, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders it's gonna be a borderline first round pick.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that right. Yes, he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: first second round pick. It's hard to argue against it.
Speaker 1: I mean, his combination of so but how much all
Speaker 1: these usage of him is because everybody's heard on this
Speaker 1: team well, regardless of what it is, not it's not
Speaker 1: he's performing when given the opportunity, certainly, But next year
Speaker 1: they'll have they have Boston Scott and they like him.
Speaker 1: I don't care Boston no, but they've talked him up
Speaker 1: and they've been using guys useless tonight. Not going to
Speaker 1: be when he's a handcuff for Miles Senters next year,
Speaker 1: No fight, that's what he is, a handcuff. But no
Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey, no Nelson aghilor zach Ertz. Banged up um
Speaker 1: obviously Jordan Howard has gone to like but they're still
Speaker 1: you're still gonna run six weapons. They're still gonna I'm
Speaker 1: sure they will. I agree with they have a good
Speaker 1: offensive line. I agree with all of this. But this
Speaker 1: two dimensional player of being a pass catcher and a
Speaker 1: running and uh running backs twenty carries a game. I
Speaker 1: don't think we see that next year. Well that wuld
Speaker 1: certainly go against everything that Doug Peterson has done done
Speaker 1: in his career. But he's also doing that right now though,
Speaker 1: Greg over the past month everything he can give Boston
Speaker 1: Scott more work if they want to, Cara Busson, Scott can't.
Speaker 1: They don't have other players on the team. They're healthy,
Speaker 1: but Boston Scott is. That's what I'm telling you. He's
Speaker 1: a backup running back. How many of those other running
Speaker 1: backs that he used in recent years, we're backup running
Speaker 1: backs Josh Adams, he would randomly mix it. He's the
Speaker 1: most talented running back that they've had, Greg, That's what
Speaker 1: it comes to, sure. But because they don't have all
Speaker 1: these wide receivers is why they're using him more and
Speaker 1: they're running the football. But there's other players that are
Speaker 1: getting targets, like Carson Wentz to throw the ball forty
Speaker 1: times in this game. Greg, I'm not saying that Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders is going to, you know, catch eight balls next year,
Speaker 1: like that's what he would be on this pace. He's
Speaker 1: still going to be very good though, because he's the
Speaker 1: most talented running back that they've had in Doug Peterson's
Speaker 1: and he's proving that he can no, not even close.
Speaker 1: He's proven that he can handle a full workload. Twenty
Speaker 1: five touches in the game over a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: total yards. He's proving that he can handle a full workload.
Speaker 1: They used that that was the highest day drafted a
Speaker 1: running back since they drafted Leshawn McCoy. That was the
Speaker 1: highest day drafted running back in Doug Peterson's era. He
Speaker 1: is going to be a borderline first round pick next year.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you even if they draft a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: which they should, even if they sign a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Harson went still through the ball forty times in this game,
Speaker 1: which might just mean less of the tight ends next year.
Speaker 1: Like Dallas Goddard is not gonna get twelve targets on
Speaker 1: a weekly basis next year. Like you're you're gonna love
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard next year. I do. I do like, but
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we see a few less targets for
Speaker 1: the running backs and maybe you know, we shouldn't expect
Speaker 1: like twenty five touches a game for Miles Sanders, but
Speaker 1: he will be someone heading into next year that we
Speaker 1: will expect to get eighteen to twenty touches a game
Speaker 1: in this Philadelphia Eagles offense. And because of that, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you he will be a borderline first round pick,
Speaker 1: late first early second round pick. Miles Sanders. Okay, the
Speaker 1: hype is gonna be out of control, I'm telling On
Speaker 1: the other side, Ezekiel Elliott was bad thirteen. They catch
Speaker 1: seven passes with thirty seven yards, which obviously helps you
Speaker 1: in the PBR. You forget the Cowboys, man, they stink.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm done with the Cowboys. They put up
Speaker 1: nine points in this game. Dak Prescott, you couldn't hit
Speaker 1: the broadside of a barn in this game. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I know, he's got the whole Solder thing going on.
Speaker 1: But Mark Cooper not being on the field when they
Speaker 1: need him most, like Dak Prescott missing ros that he
Speaker 1: normally makes, Ezekiel Elliott not running efficiently, like behind this
Speaker 1: offensive line, there's there's no excuses. There's no excuses for
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, for this coaching staff, for this offense based
Speaker 1: on the personnel that they have, the offensive line that
Speaker 1: they have. Like if you put every other NFL offense
Speaker 1: behind this offensive line, Greg, I mean we're talking about
Speaker 1: like pretty much every team in the NFL would have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be a legitimate top five offense. Behind
Speaker 1: this offensive line. Everything starts and ends with in the trenches.
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys have that, and they still can't win games. Coaching, right,
Speaker 1: It's come on, man, I think it is coaching. It
Speaker 1: is coaching a lot of his coaching, but at some point,
Speaker 1: like players have to make plays too, man, Like it
Speaker 1: seems like whenever you need Dak Prescott to come through most,
Speaker 1: whether you're a Cowboys fan with you're a fantasy owner
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott. He's put up a ton of garbage
Speaker 1: time fantasy production this year, which is great. We've seen
Speaker 1: Blake Bordles do that in the past. It's fine, But
Speaker 1: when you need Dak most he hasn't come through. Greg,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. The Cowboys got to figure out
Speaker 1: their coach. How much they're paying Dak Presscott bringing back
Speaker 1: a Maori Cooper. Obviously you already paid Ezekiel Elliott. Good
Speaker 1: luck Cowboys, Good luck Jerry Jones, Good luck to here fans.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break here. When we come back, we
Speaker 1: wrap up the program. I want to get into the
Speaker 1: other player that we thought we win championships second half
Speaker 1: of you. It was David Montgomery. We got this something
Speaker 1: at football in a moment, I was all trying to
Speaker 1: know anything else. Mike Boon, Baby, Mike Boon, big game,
Speaker 1: the coach? Can you coming through? Figure it out? Next

Speaker 1: fingertips as our team covers the most important topics in

Speaker 1: and more want the edge than get on the Grid
Speaker 1: Sports grid dot Com. Three questions, three minutes. That is
Speaker 1: question number one. Frankie Ready, All right, let's do you
Speaker 1: said Myles Standers as a borderline first round pick next
Speaker 1: year with the Philadelphia Eagles. It was him and David
Speaker 1: Montgomery in the same range this year. Where's Dave Montgomery
Speaker 1: go next year? I think David Montgomery will drop down
Speaker 1: a few rounds heading into next year, assuming that the
Speaker 1: Bears don't add someone, because I don't think that they will.
Speaker 1: They invested in early round pick on Montgomery this year.
Speaker 1: It was a third round draft pick in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1: I think he drops down to the six seventh round range.
Speaker 1: He'll be an RB three that your draft, a flex
Speaker 1: running back that you draft, and I think that's fair
Speaker 1: value for him. I'm interested at that press record. I
Speaker 1: am interested in the Prices team that still wants to
Speaker 1: run the ball. Dave have mugg over a year older.
Speaker 1: I think you could be better. Question number two. It
Speaker 1: also involves a running back, and that's in Denver, Philli
Speaker 1: Lizzae rush for a hundred yards yesterday and a touchdown
Speaker 1: nineteen carries. Roy s Freeman also had touchdown, but he
Speaker 1: just had just nine carries and twenty eight yards Philip
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. If he gets about forty two yards uh,
Speaker 1: next week, we'll have over a thousand yards rushing and
Speaker 1: he will have seven touchdowns on the ground as of now, right,
Speaker 1: Where's phil Lizzy next year? Question number two? I think
Speaker 1: it goes similar to this year's value. I think he
Speaker 1: is a fourth fifth round pick. I think he'll go
Speaker 1: ahead of David Montgomery. He'll be on that fringe as
Speaker 1: a low end RB two or an RB that you
Speaker 1: target if you go zero RB in your drafts and
Speaker 1: you draft you know wide receivers and tight ends early,
Speaker 1: and then you want to attack those running backs in
Speaker 1: the middle rounds. I think Lindsay will be one of
Speaker 1: those options. I think he's he's lower n RB two
Speaker 1: goes in a similar range as he did. I mean
Speaker 1: to this year question number three. The Cleveland Browns fell
Speaker 1: out of the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson Mark Andrews
Speaker 1: both got the job done. As I stated, Nick Chub
Speaker 1: fifteen garage forty five yards. He really let you down.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, The question that I have isn't regarding
Speaker 1: the running backs, it's the wide receivers Jarvis Langry, Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Odell had a touchdown, it was only four
Speaker 1: or forty four Jarvis seven for seventy four on eight targets.
Speaker 1: Which Rivers, Roll and Browns would rather happen next year,
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry or Odell Beckham, assuming they're both in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Assuming they are both in Cleveland, I will I'll still
Speaker 1: go back to Odell Beckham. I think he's the more
Speaker 1: talented player. I think he's been playing through some stuff
Speaker 1: this year. He's playing through injury up here. Yeah, physically
Speaker 1: and mentally when it comes to Odell Beckham, but I
Speaker 1: still do think he's more talented. And it's not a
Speaker 1: knock on Landry. I think Landry is a good player.
Speaker 1: But I will lean with Odell Beckham. He probably goes
Speaker 1: in that second third round range question many points Boon
Speaker 1: get tonight, Mike Boone in a full point pr will
Speaker 1: put up fourteen point six Franks off tomorrow, So we'll
Speaker 1: all I will be here to do it again, we
Speaker 1: hope
