7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 4: go to wind.

00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,960

Speaker 2: award winning Action Network podcast, presented by bet MGM, the

13

Speaker 2: are Shawn Corner and Chris Raybond. Shawn is the Action

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Network Director of Predictive Analytics. Chris as a senior editor

Speaker 2: and analyst at the Action Network, and they are two

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: of the best fantasy football rankers in the world. In

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: this episode, a little bit later on, we are highlighting

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: the players at the top of our Week eight rankings

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: and the Fantasy tool at the Action Network. We are

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: discussing the guys we are high and low on and

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: looking at how they do in our Fantasy Labs models,

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 2: and we are speculating on some player props. But before

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: all of that, we are taking a quick look at

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: a few fantasy takeaways so far as we enter the

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: midway point of the season, and then I will have

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: a conversation with the one and only field Yates, an

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: NFL insider at ESPN. He will be giving us his

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: insight on possible roster moves we might see in advance

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: of the upcoming NFL trade deadline. Sean Raybon, I hope

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: you guys are doing well. Sean, We're going to kick

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: it to you first give us a fantasy takeaway from

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: weeks one through seven.

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: I would say my biggest takeaway is that it's absolutely

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: critical to make sure that any of these high upside

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: backup running backs are not available in your league.

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 6: Last year, I don't.

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 5: Think there was as much turnover as we're used to,

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 5: so maybe people have been complacent. But this year, my god,

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: you know a lot of these backup running backs have

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: been thrusted in the star role due to various injuries

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: and other things. So it's just critical to make sure

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: that you stash as many high upside backup running backs

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 5: as possible, And I'm doing my running back upside chart

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: updated in season. I'll be updating out later this week,

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 5: so be sure to check that out to make sure

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: that these running backs aren't available in your league.

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Week seven in DFS was Giovanni Bernard

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: and Jamal Williams week. No better time to remind you

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: the backup running backs at some point they really do matter, Raymond,

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: What is a takeaway for you so far?

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 6: Rookies?

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: Everyone came into the season kind of doubting rookies. Oh,

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: we gotta fade rookies. I don't think that strategy has

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: really worked out too well. I mean, if you're fading rookies,

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: you're fading guys like Justin Jefferson, T Higgins, Justin Herbert

58
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: even you know Swift. Like, there's just so many rookies

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: that are killing right now. So and some of them

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: haven't even broke out. Like I think we're still yet

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: to see Henry Ruggs breakout. I thought Denzel Mims had

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: a decent first game all things considered, you know, for

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: that horrible Jets team. So I think you continue to

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: buy rookies if people are willing to trade them, try

65
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: to get ahead of the breakouts, because every week we're

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: starting to see like maybe one or two more kind

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: of have their big breakout game.

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: All right, My takeaway is that the gap right now

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: between Alvin Kamara and every other running back is just

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: absolutely massive. It's not quite the gap that we saw

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: from Christian McCaffrey last year versus sort of like your

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: average RB one, but it is still pretty significant. I

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: just see a massive tier and middling running back production

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: outside of we'll say the top six guys at the position.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: And if you don't have Kamara, I mean, you know this.

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: You don't need me to tell you your team probably isn't

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: looking all that great right now. But of course that

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: is a good reason to pivot to DFS. And I

79
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: want to remind everyone to participate in the best DFS

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 7: How's it going day, I'm doing great, appreciate you having

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 7: me on. I'm glad that we're in the throes of

94
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 7: football season and we've got a couple of hurdles along

95
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 7: the way, but it's great to be in the midst

96
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 7: of the best time of the year.

97
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to be talking to you. And I

98
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: don't know if you remember this about four years ago,

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: maybe even a little longer than that. You know, I

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: had you on a podcast that I was doing at

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: the time, and man, your career has really taken off

102
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: since then. So one, I guess i'd just like to

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: say you're welcome for all that I did for you

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: and then too. It's just it's nice to be able

105
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: to talk with you again. I've restrained myself from being

106
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: creepy and sliding into your DMS, you know. So it's

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: it's good really to have the opportunity face to face

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: to talk here over video, of course.

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 7: That's right, well, of course, and back to you by

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 7: the way. I mean, who would have thought where was

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 7: the action network in like the planning process and like

112
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 7: the the growth four years ago, right, Like, it's amazing

113
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 7: how far things have come from both of us. So

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 7: good to catch you up and good to see you

115
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 7: continuing to do what you do, which is turn out

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 7: great content.

117
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's get talking about the trade deadline, which

118
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: it feels like is rapidly approaching for the NFL, and

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: you know, big picture question. We've recently had Ryan Fitzpatrick

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: benched with the Miami Dolphins. I'm a Cowboys fan. I

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: would love the idea of the Cowboys trading for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

122
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: Who knows if that actually happens, But Ryan Fitzpatrick, what

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: you see happening with him on the trade market.

124
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 7: Unless somebody blows the Dolphins out of the water with

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 7: a great, great offer, and that would have to be

126
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 7: like a Day two pick in the draft, I would

127
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 7: think I can't imagine he gets dealt. And part of

128
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 7: the reason I say that is that. I mean, first

129
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 7: of all, it's hard to find a perfect suitor as

130
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 7: disappointed as I'm sure you are, and many Cowboys fans

131
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 7: are after Andy Dalton's debut. You know, the team invested

132
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 7: three million dollars guaranteeing him. They feel like he's got

133
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 7: a good grasp of the system. At the very least,

134
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 7: it's gonna go. It has other places to go, but

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: most likely will go up from where it was this

136
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: past Monday night. And then, you know, as much as

137
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 7: Fitzpatrick was disappointed in the decision this past week, you

138
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 7: know this is part of the reason why the Dolphins

139
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 7: have valued him. He's a quarterback tutor who also can

140
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 7: be a starting quarterback. So he may be frustrated, and

141
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 7: he may be upset, and he may be heartbroken, which,

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 7: by the way, all human reactions to what happened when

143
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 7: you get benched after leading your team the three wins

144
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 7: in six games. The Dolphins still value his ability in

145
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 7: a tutor role to Tua enough that I don't foresee

146
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 7: a trade happening, unless, again, I'm talking about a deal that,

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 7: to lean on a cliche, is quite literally too good

148
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 7: to refuse.

149
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's say go from Miami to New York,

150
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: New York, where Sam Donald has I mean, I feel

151
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: like he's just been embroiled in horrible circumstances, you know,

152
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: beyond his control. But there are you know, whispers potentially

153
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: that maybe the Jets feel as if it's best to

154
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: end the Donald era. I don't really see that happening.

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: But do you think that's something that could happen.

156
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. And here's the reason why. If you're

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 7: doing that, obviously, that puts you in the market for

158
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: a quarterback next year. And as we all know, in

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty one draft class, and you know, I

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 7: guess the evaluation can change from late October to late April.

161
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 7: But we see one player who stands well above the rest.

162
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 7: So that's Trevor Lawrence. And as much as a lot

163
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 7: of teams love Trevor Lawrence, he's only going to end

164
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 7: up with one franchise. So the Jets could trade Sam Donald.

165
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 7: Obviously they would turn the keys over to Joe Flacco

166
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 7: for the rest of the season. But the more important

167
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 7: thing is you got to find a way to lose

168
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 7: your way to the top in this case, and it

169
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 7: may sound on paper like a good idea. Let's say

170
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 7: you could get a second round pick for Sam Donald,

171
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 7: who still has the remainder of this year plus next

172
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 7: year and a fifth year option if a team exercises

173
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 7: it on his rookie contract. You know, if you get

174
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 7: Sam Donald, or if you give Sam Darnald away and

175
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 7: then you wind up with the third pick in the draft,

176
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 7: which might only take two wins this year, then you

177
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 7: know you're not getting Trevor Lawrence, and you're still going

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 7: to get a really nice prospect, whether it's a quarterback

179
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 7: or another top tier player. But still, I think the

180
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 7: reason why you move off with Sam Donald is because

181
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 7: there is one player that feels like he is a

182
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 7: sure fire bet could be better than Sam Darnold in

183
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 7: better circum just because your point is well taken. Sam

184
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 7: Darnald has been playing with bad wide receivers, that offensive

185
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 7: line in a lot of ways, a bad system for

186
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 7: his entire career. There're only one guy, though, that could

187
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 7: be a decided to clear upgrade. That's Trevor Lawrence, and

188
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 7: you're not guaranteed to get him unless you finished with

189
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 7: the first pick in the draft.

190
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Dwayne Haskins, who I think

191
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: is in kind of a similar situation to Sam Donald,

192
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: although it seems as if he might be worse, and

193
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: there's it seems like absolutely no loyalty from the coaching

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: staff to Haskins, and there are reports that they have already,

195
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: you know, pursued the possibility of trading him. Do you

196
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: think that he will be Delta? Are there teams out

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: there that would be interested in Dwayne Haskins?

198
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 7: So I'm not counting it out. That being said, if

199
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: he's traded away, I expect this to be a cell

200
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 7: low because it's hard to imagine anybody values Dwayne Haskins

201
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 7: at a very high level right now for a few reasons. One,

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 7: as you said, he's been benched. His play was I

203
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 7: would say, up and down. There were a few bright moments,

204
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 7: but obviously this is a player. It's not like this

205
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 7: was Kyler Murray or you know, one of these quarterbacks

206
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 7: that recently came into the league and from day one

207
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 7: a week one, day one starter became this instant superstar

208
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 7: or close to instant superstars. So I think that beyond

209
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 7: the up and down play, he was a guy that

210
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 7: coming into the draft, there wasn't a consensus, right if

211
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 7: you go back and look at the draft over the past,

212
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 7: like ten or fifteen years, the sweet spot for top

213
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 7: quarterbacks is actually like the exact opposite of where he goes.

214
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 7: Like usually we see guys well gone by the time

215
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 7: or long gone, I should say, by the time we

216
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: get to pick fifteen, which is where Dwayne Haskins was

217
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 7: taking right. You normally see if a quarterback is the

218
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 7: real deal, you usually see guys go in the first

219
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 7: seven to ten picks, and then if the league is

220
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 7: like not so certain, it ends up closer to like

221
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 7: the twenty five to thirty two range. And instead you

222
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: had a player in Dwayne Haskins that went right in

223
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 7: the middle of the first round. It felt like felt

224
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 7: like he sort of just fell into Washington's lap. But

225
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 7: there were teams behind Washington that could have used a

226
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 7: quarterback prospect that probably wouldn't have had to pay such

227
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 7: a precipitous price to go up the draft board. So anyways,

228
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 7: I mentioned that because I don't think his value league

229
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 7: wide is particularly robust. I think if he is traded,

230
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 7: it'll be for a very modest price package, maybe for

231
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 7: you know, a Day three pick or two. I can't

232
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 7: imagine he gets something like a third or second round thick.

233
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 7: I just can't see it.

234
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: All Right, Let's talk about Le'Veon pell, who was recently

235
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 2: traded to the Chiefs. You know, not really thinking about

236
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: the short term, but more of the longer term for

237
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: this season. How do you see him fitting into the

238
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs plans, you know, in December January, potentially a Super Bowl.

239
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

240
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: I think it's actually a better question framed that way

241
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 7: than right away. Most people are like, you know, how

242
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 7: much are we're gonna see from Le'Veon in this first

243
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 7: week or two with the Chiefs. I'm not entirely sure,

244
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 7: don't even know if the Chiefs know, but I think

245
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 7: the idea of this acquisition is there may come a

246
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 7: time in December or January where we need either a

247
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 7: little bit of extra work because Clyde Edwards layer who

248
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 7: has been great, but still he's a rookie who I

249
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 7: understand that hellish played fifteen games last year, but still

250
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 7: the riggers of the NFL are different than the riggers

251
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 7: of playing at LSU. It's a longer season. You could

252
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 7: potentially be playing for nineteen or twenty weeks, and Le'Bon

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 7: adds something that I don't know that they have in

254
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 7: their backs behind Clyde Edwards e Lair. He's a better

255
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 7: pass catcher, probably a little bit more versatile than Darrel

256
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 7: Williams and Darwin Thompson. And I don't view the moves

257
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 7: to acquire lady On as an indictment of Clyde edwardsy Lair.

258
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 7: I think I look at it more as a team

259
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 7: and the Chiefs in a position to be opportunistic being

260
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 7: opportunistic because it's not like it cost him a ton.

261
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 7: I mean, the contract is incredibly, incredibly team friendly, and

262
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 7: this is a player that probably could have gone to

263
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 7: a few different spots and chose the Chiefs. He wants

264
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 7: to be there. He understands that he's going to have

265
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: to play by their rules as opposed to expecting them

266
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 7: to build the offense around him.

267
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm interested in a couple of wide receivers with the Bengals,

268
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: Aj Green and John Ross. Aj Green is in a

269
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: franchise season. It seems as if this is likely to

270
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: be his last year with the Bengals. John Ross has

271
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: already openly requested a trade. Do you see anything happening

272
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: with either of those players.

273
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 7: I could see John Ross being on the move because

274
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 7: you're right. I mean, he just he's the odd man out.

275
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 7: The issue with AJ Green, I think is pretty straightforward.

276
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 7: It's just not worth the price tag, right, I mean,

277
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 7: he's making so much more. Believe, the franchise tag value

278
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 7: for him, which is different than other wide receivers, was

279
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 7: eighteen point five million dollars or in that range. So

280
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 7: if you're acquiring close to half the season of AJ Green,

281
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 7: you're still talking about a nine million dollar commitment for

282
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 7: a guy who so prior to Week six had been

283
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 7: i mean just brutal, and he's thirty one years old.

284
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 7: You're acquiring him. Are you giving up a draft pick

285
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 7: for a player that might only be on your roster

286
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 7: for half a season if you sign him after this year?

287
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 7: Are you comfortable paying thirty one soon to be thirty

288
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 7: two year old wide receiver who's certainly from an athletics standpoint,

289
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 7: it's not quite what he was. I think that AJ

290
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 7: Green stays in Cincy. I think John Ross though, if

291
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 7: I'm the Bengals, I'm at least, you know, looking for

292
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 7: some lines out there, throwing some lines out there, because

293
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 7: I don't expect them to get a huge return for

294
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 7: a player that was once a first round pick, but

295
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 7: you can at least get some sort of usable asset.

296
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 7: I think, as easy as the Jets are to target

297
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 7: for what they have done this year, we've seen them

298
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: recently start to offload players. And even if what they're

299
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 7: doing is offloading players for third day picks, fifth, sixth,

300
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 7: seventh rounders, like, I'd rather those. I'd rather extra shots

301
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 7: at young athletes in the you know, the draft, than

302
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 7: guys who aren't going to be with me going forward.

303
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: All right, So those are some of the guys I'm

304
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: interested in. What matters a little bit more, Who are

305
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: the guys you are hearing rumors about.

306
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 7: I think that the names that are well, here's what

307
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 7: I'd say, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the

308
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 7: trade deadline action, let's start here, picks up a little

309
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 7: bit more prior to the deadline. You know, Usually it's

310
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 7: like we're waiting with beata breath until three fifty nine

311
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 7: fifty nine on Tuesday. I think I believe it's the

312
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: Tuesday after Halloween every year that the trade deadline is.

313
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 7: So this year it's November third, it's election day, So

314
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 7: usually we are keeping an eye up until the very

315
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: last moment. I think this year it might be that

316
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 7: we see some action as we did with the Yannick

317
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 7: and Dockway trade that happened sooner than the trade deadline,

318
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 7: because again, not just the fact that teams are motivated,

319
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 7: also that you know teams right now you're gonna have

320
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 7: to pass the COVID protocol. It's going to be five

321
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 7: or six days before you can get traded and join

322
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 7: in with your team. So let me start with a

323
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 7: couple of teams after that that we've established her to

324
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 7: the baseline. I think Atlanta is interesting, and I don't know.

325
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 7: I don't I don't.

326
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 6: Believe Matt Ryan.

327
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 7: I don't not entirely sure on Julio Jones. But the

328
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 7: Falcons are interesting roster given that they're you know, they

329
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 7: have struggle out of the gates with the oh and

330
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 7: five star fire head coach, fire general manager. You may

331
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 7: not be tearing it down this offseason, but if you've

332
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 7: got guys that are a year away or a year

333
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 7: or two away from free agency, they should be on

334
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 7: the table. If I'm the Atlanta Falcons, same thing goes

335
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 7: to the Jets. He talked about them already, so would

336
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: Quinn Williams, for example, be a name to keep an

337
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 7: eye on. I don't know, but it'd be a tough

338
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 7: pill to swallow, given you drafted him in the first

339
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 7: round just last year. At the same time, if you're

340
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 7: Joe Douglas, you've made it clear I'm open for business

341
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 7: on every single player on the roster. Evan Ingram is

342
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 7: the name that's been speculated upon a little bit just

343
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 7: because he really hasn't thrived so far in that offense.

344
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: And it's not that he's not a talented player. It

345
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 7: just feels like, for whatever reason, whether it's the lack

346
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 7: of practice, whether it's the way he's being utilized, you

347
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 7: name it, he has not been a smooth transition player

348
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 7: for them into this new offense under Jason Garrett, and

349
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 7: I tend to believe he and David and Joku, another

350
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 7: guy that I would say keep an eye on as well,

351
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 7: are valued around the league as a positive contract if

352
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 7: you were to acquire them. Given what they are doing

353
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 7: for the rest of this year and also what they

354
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 7: are doing next year, which would be the fifth year

355
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 7: option for each of them. I think both of them

356
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 7: are names that I think makes some sense to at

357
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: least keep an eye.

358
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: All right. You mentioned there the Falcons, the Jets, and

359
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: the Giants as teams that potentially might be looking to

360
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: trade away some players. Which are the teams that you're

361
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: thinking about that might actively be looking for pieces to acquire.

362
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 7: Well, I think we have to probably assessor who believe

363
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 7: are the best teams in the NFL right now and

364
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 7: teams that are more in for twenty twenty. We saw

365
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 7: the Ravens who were obviously you know, they acquired Yannick

366
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 7: and Gakwa a very opportunistic moment for them. So I

367
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 7: think to see I don't know if I call it

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 7: an arms rates, but I would make sense. It would

369
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 7: make sense to see Baltimore San Francisco teams that either

370
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 7: are really good or teams that are, you know, potentially

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 7: good but need a little bit of reinforcements to push

372
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 7: them over the top. San Francisco, I don't know that

373
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 7: they are not cap flush per se, but an interesting

374
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 7: team to keep an eye on, just because they you know,

375
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 7: there they stumbled a little bit out of the gates

376
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 7: and they're in a really competitive division. The Eagles are

377
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 7: always interesting, and the Packers are a team that you know,

378
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: the Packers have for a long time had a stigma

379
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 7: of not being particularly active in free agency and then

380
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 7: not necessarily a splash organization when it came to transactions.

381
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 7: Well that's changed recently as they have you know, made

382
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 7: some trade deadline trades such as Haja Clinton Dix a

383
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 7: couple of years ago. And this is a team that

384
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 7: we've seen go a little more audacious in terms of

385
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 7: its spending in free agency. So the Eagles forty nine ers.

386
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 7: I think the Vikings could be an offloading team, as

387
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 7: I mentioned, so maybe within that division probably can cross

388
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 7: up them. But you know, the Ravens the Bills might

389
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 7: be an interesting team as well because they have some

390
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 7: money to spend. They have had a really solid start,

391
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 7: but there's probably room to improve there to be part

392
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 7: of that AFC elite.

393
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: All right, I'd like to get your thoughts on why

394
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: the NFL doesn't seem to have the same kind of

395
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: flurry of trade deadline action that we typically see out

396
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: of a sport like the NBA or the NBL MLB.

397
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 7: I think because probably that we view roles in NBA, MLB,

398
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 7: NHL rosters, it's much more like, you know, sort of

399
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 7: uniform and specific. You're acquiring a guard or a forward.

400
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 7: In basketball and baseball, it's like a second basement's job

401
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 7: is fairly straightforward no matter who you're playing for. Whereas

402
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 7: in football, you know, every team values a certain type

403
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 7: of offensive linemen. Some need powerful road graders, some need

404
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 7: athletic guys that can play as part of a zone

405
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 7: running scheme. You know, some teams need long cornerbacks who've

406
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 7: got a good physicality, like Seattle or Jacksonville or Atlanta.

407
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 7: Some teams are looking for cornerbacks that have elite ball skills,

408
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 7: and they'll sacrifice size for elite ball skills and speed.

409
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 7: So I think that there's just a little bit less

410
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 7: of a cookie cutter nature to each position that that

411
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: probably is a driving force behind it. And then I

412
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 7: think also some teams are just catching up, Like we've

413
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 7: seen some organizations be super aggressive on the trade. Patriots

414
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 7: the Eagles they always strike me as the two that

415
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 7: are most open for business. The Ravens have been pretty

416
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 7: aggressive in recent years. So I think other teams are

417
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 7: going to catch up there. But I would say between

418
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 7: the fact that there are more players on a roster

419
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 7: and your salary cap is so much different that and

420
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 7: also roles, like, I think teams have an easier time

421
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 7: holding on to a player in the NFL than they

422
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 7: do in the NBA, where, for example, where you know,

423
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 7: like if you have a Kawhi Leonard who's unhappy in

424
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 7: San Antonio or Jimmy Butler who's unhappy in Chicago and

425
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 7: then Minnesota and then Philadelphia, the time is ticking pretty

426
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 7: quickly to move on, and the salary cap dictates that

427
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 7: it may be good business for you. Maybe not in

428
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 7: the short term, but in the long term.

429
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: All right, phil this has been great. One more question

430
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: here and then I want to hear what you have

431
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: to say about slang TV kind of big picture question

432
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: from a fantasy perspective, Who is one guy you would

433
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: want to trade for right now in anticipation of any

434
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, quote unquote real life transactions, fantasy acquisition, but

435
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: keeping in mind potential trades that might happen in the NFL,

436
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: so trying to get ahead of that NFL action.

437
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 7: How about Austin Hooper. And here's the reason why is

438
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 7: that there have been some recent solid signs of life

439
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 7: from Austin Hooper. He has been more productive over the

440
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 7: fast handful of weeks. Also as I mentioned David and

441
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 7: Joku has been some conflicting information about whether he's you know,

442
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: sort of asked for a second trade request or if

443
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 7: he's just available. But if he moves on, Not that

444
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 7: the Browns offense has been you know, the most efficient operation,

445
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 7: and not that they have heavily targeted Austin Hooper every

446
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 7: single week, but he's come on strong of late. And

447
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 7: if David and Joku is in fact traded, that would

448
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 7: be one less tight end's competing for targets with. And

449
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 7: it's impossible to fight end to find tight ends in general.

450
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 7: Then you compound that with you know, players like George

451
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 7: Tayler already missing times, Zach Ertz going on IR, Dallas

452
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 7: Goddard still on IR. There are very few reliable options

453
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 7: to tight end because you know why, there's never a

454
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 7: lot of reliable options at tight end in fantasy football.

455
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: All right, talk to me about everything good with slain TV.

456
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 7: Well, it's an interesting time right now in the world,

457
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 7: and everybody's looking for a little bit of value, right

458
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 7: And I think that's probably one of the most important

459
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 7: things that people should know about Sling TV. This is

460
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 7: one of the best values. It's not the best value

461
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 7: to consume TV, live sports, and all of the media

462
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 7: that you most care about. And specific to those of

463
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 7: us that are football fans, not everybody has maybe a

464
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 7: man cave with six TVs that they can watch all

465
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,919

Speaker 2: On podcast, Sean Chris, Let's get into our rankings for

491
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: week eight. The guys at the top of the board

492
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: for the quarterback position probably no surprise to anyone who

493
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: has been watching football for the past seven weeks. We

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: have Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen. I mean, you know,

495
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 2: pretty standard. Let's talk about the guys that we are

496
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: high on, Sean, and I should say, there was a

497
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: bet on this, so Seawan, you get to go first

498
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: for the duration of the show. And I want you

499
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: before you talk about the quarterback that you are high

500
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: on this week, I want you to remind us what

501
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: the bet was that earned you the right to go first.

502
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 5: So last week, Raybond and I bet on Thursday Night

503
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 5: Football who will have more half PPR points Richard Rodgers

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: or Evan Ingram And I had Richard Rodgers and Chris

505
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: Raybond had Evan Ingram, and it was a pretty good bet.

506
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 5: I mean, there are some times that I thought he

507
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 5: was going to win. There are some times I thought

508
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 5: I was, I had it locked up, but it was

509
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: a good bet. So I get to go first. Hopefully

510
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 5: I steal plenty of Raybonds guys, but at quarterback hopefully.

511
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 5: You know, I would say Raybond likes these guys, so

512
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 5: hopefully I'm stealing these two. But the first guy I

513
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: want to talk about is Joe Burrow. He's inside my

514
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 5: top ten this week, He's my QB ten. He faces

515
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 5: the Titans this week, who are not an imposing matchup

516
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: to qbs this year.

517
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 6: They've been unable to.

518
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 5: Really put much pressure on quarterbacks, and you know Burrow,

519
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: you know, he's playing behind that brutal offensive line, so

520
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 5: I think getting just that much more time to throw

521
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: this week will be.

522
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 6: Huge for him.

523
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 5: AJ Green has been playing much better in the past

524
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: two weeks, so I think, you know, Burrow has three

525
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 5: legit wide receivers going right now, Tyler Boyd, T Higgins

526
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: and AJ Green, So I think this is a potential

527
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 5: ceiling game for Joe Burrow. He's inside my top ten

528
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: and the other guy I want to talk about is

529
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: Teddy Bridgewater. He's uh, he's playing Thursday night football, but

530
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 5: this is my streamer player of the week at QB.

531
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 5: He comes in at my QB seven to start the week.

532
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: He's going up against Atlanta, which is a great matchup.

533
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 5: We saw this group all go off against the Falcons

534
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: just a few weeks ago, so I you know, Teddy

535
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: Bridge Rotter, Mike Davis, Robbie Anderson, DJ Moore, you know,

536
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 5: all elevated my projections this week, and I think Teddy

537
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 5: Bridge Rotter is a lock for a QB one performance

538
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: this week.

539
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean, I am with you there on Breegewater. I

540
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: also have him at number seven. Raybond. Who are some

541
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: guys that you are high on this week?

542
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for that same game that Sewn talked

543
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: about with Joe Burrow and Ryan Tannehill. You know Sean

544
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: brought him up last week. I think that was, you know,

545
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 3: a good a good question to ask. And right now

546
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: Tannehill's my QB six behind only Mahomes, Wilson, Rodgers, Lamar

547
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 3: and Josh Allen. So you know this is a guy

548
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: who you're looking at a Cincinnati team that's last in

549
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 3: the league in pressure rate. They're banged up on defense,

550
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 3: they're banged up on the line. And Ryan Tannehill and

551
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: this Titans offense. You know, even against that Pittsburgh team,

552
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 3: they still did decently in the second half, still should

553
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: have had twenty seven. But Tannehill in his career in

554
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 3: Tennessee has thrown multiple touchdowns in all but two starts

555
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: in a regular season. So I love Tannehill this week.

556
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: People may not think of him as that every week

557
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 3: QB one, but I think we're at that point where

558
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: week in week out, especially when AJ Brown is healthy,

559
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna see Tannehill put up numbers.

560
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially during the bye weeks. You know, at

561
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: this point, you know, and no Dack out there, you know,

562
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: at this point you sort of take take whatever you

563
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: can get that is above average, and Tannehill at this

564
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: point has clearly proven himself to be above average a

565
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: quarterback I am high on and I wasn't really expecting this,

566
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: but Tom Brady, I mean, he is very much rounding

567
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: into form. He's getting it done with all of his receivers.

568
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: Gronkowski has really started to look like he's found the

569
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: fountain of youth. Like he's kind of I mean, he's

570
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: not like peak Gronkowski anymore, but he's better than like

571
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen zombie that we saw in his final

572
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: year in New England. Like he's actually looking like a competent,

573
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: you know, full NFL tight end. So with Gronk coming

574
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: on and we don't even get Antonio Brown this week.

575
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: He comes back in week nine, but you know, with

576
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: Scotty Miller progressing, and we might see Mike Evans week

577
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: because it looks like Chris Godwin is going to be out.

578
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: But I don't really even think that matters, because I mean,

579
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: they just have so many weapons. They have Tyler Johnson

580
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: who can step in, they have Justin Watson, so they're

581
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: just there are all of the receiving weapons around Brady

582
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: for him to be able to have a peak game

583
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: and going against this Giants defense that I really do

584
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: not respect. Even if James Bradbury shadows Mike Evans and

585
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: does a pretty good job of it, I still think

586
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: Brady could have a pretty big game because there are

587
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: so many other guys he could throw to, and no

588
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: one else in that Giants pass defense has been able

589
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: to stop anyone except for Bradbury. So Brady is someone

590
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm relatively high on. Sean, who are you low on?

591
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 6: So the one guy I'm law on this week?

592
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 5: It's kind of obvious, but Cam Newton is all the

593
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 5: way down to QB eighteen for me this week. And

594
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 5: you know, I think it's becoming clear that the lack

595
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: of weapons in the passing game is a pretty big

596
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 5: issue for him. A couple weeks ago, I thought, you know,

597
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 5: they had some offensive line injuries. They got check Mason

598
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: David Andrews back this week. I thought that might help,

599
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 5: but nope, just a terrible performance. And you know, his

600
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: rushing upside means he could have some games where he

601
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: ends up being a top five quarterback. But at this point,

602
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: I think you're better off, you know, having him go

603
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 5: off on your bench or someone else's team, other than

604
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: relying on him week tweak. I just think he has

605
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: two love of floor to be ranking inside my top

606
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 5: twelve anymore. So he's he's all the way down to

607
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 5: QB eighteen for me.

608
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: All right, Raybon, what about you?

609
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 3: For me, it's going to be Ben Roethlisberger. He's all

610
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: the way down on my QB twenty three. Pittsburgh, their

611
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: offense is kind of stagnant even with those playmakers, and

612
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: you know, Big Big Ben is a quarterback who's not

613
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: really giving you any rushing ability, and Pittsburgh's been bottom

614
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: five and success rate on offense and both run and pass,

615
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: so they're kind of like grinding it out. And he's

616
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: his yards per attempt is down, and if it wasn't

617
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: for a lot of those Chase Claypool big plays, big

618
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: Ben's stats would look pretty ugly. So going at Baltimore

619
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 3: Division game expected to be one of those kind of

620
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 3: hard nosed defensive game, the total is only forty six,

621
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: which is pretty surprising. You would think, you know, those

622
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: two teams a lot of offense, but forty six is a.

623
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 6: Very low total.

624
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: Big Ben on the road, we know he tends to

625
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: not play quite as well on the road, so I

626
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: have him outside my top twenty this week. Ben Roethlisberger, all.

627
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: Right, you know, Raymond, I'm actually going to go the

628
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: other side of that matchup, and I'm much lower on

629
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson than I thought I would be entering the

630
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: week because we did see him rebound in Week six

631
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: with his rushing ability and then he's coming off of

632
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: the buy. But as you said, it is a very

633
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: low total, and we do have a Steelers defense that

634
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: is pretty good. And so I have Lamar Jackson. I mean,

635
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to have to adjust this up

636
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: somehow by bumping up his rushing share, but I have

637
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: him at QB ten right now. But like, some of

638
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: that is that the guys ahead of him have really

639
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: good matchups, you know, if you look at you know,

640
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: like Teddy Bridgewater, I mean Bridgewater ahead of Lamar Jackson,

641
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: and a big chunk of that is just the matchup.

642
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: So and then also the total in those games, you know,

643
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: given that this is one of the lowest totals on

644
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: the slate and a tough defensive matchup. Yeah, you know,

645
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: in the first run of projections, I have Lamar at

646
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: number ten. Sean give us the quarterback prop, which, by

647
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: the way, I should remind everyone that you can check

648
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: out the Fantasy Labs player prop tool where the props

649
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: with the bet quality of ten have a sixty percent

650
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: win rate over the past two years, and of course

651
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: when player props are posted, you can bet them at

652
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: bet MGM. Sean give us the quarterback prop.

653
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: It's two a time, So we're gonna have to do

654
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 5: a to a tongue of viola passing yards prop here

655
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: right now, I have his projection at two hundred and

656
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 5: forty and a half. And if you guys, if you

657
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: guys want to say, if you think this helps or

658
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: hurts the offense, or if there's any you know, certain

659
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 5: pass catchers you think will benefit from this move.

660
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 6: But are you guys over under that?

661
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean, donkey than I am. You know, I'm normally

662
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: on on the overs here, but I have it at

663
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: two forty four and a half, so pretty pretty close

664
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: where you are. And if I had to take a

665
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: side in reality, I would be taking the under here,

666
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: but I'll stick with the numbers that I have.

667
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 3: I have it two fifty, so I'm going to go over.

668
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's really close. I kind of feel

669
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: like I should lower it. The Rams defense look pretty good. Yeah,

670
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna go under. I'm still gonna

671
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: go under because I need to lower it a little bit.

672
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: So because if you look at the Rams, they like

673
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: with Jay and Ramsey, they're going to probably be able

674
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: to take away Devonte Parker.

675
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 6: They're really just good against wide receivers period.

676
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: I think the player that it's going to help the most,

677
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: to be honest, is Miles Gaskin because he's already been

678
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 3: getting a ton of receiving work. And if they if

679
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: they're going to two of that means they kind of

680
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: had it planned out the whole time, which probably means

681
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: they make they could go even a little more run

682
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: heavy then they've been going. So I think it helps

683
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: gasking the most out of any skill player on the Dolphins.

684
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just wondering, you know, I don't know what's

685
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 5: going on with Mike Giseki. Last week was a catchless game.

686
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 5: I mean, it can't hurt him because I haven't been

687
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 5: able to figure out why.

688
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 6: He's been doing so bad.

689
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 5: So I think that, you know, I hate to do it,

690
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 5: but I'm going a little bit back to the Joseki

691
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 5: well this week, just hoping that Tua might you know,

692
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 5: target him a bit more. But yeah, DeVante Parker's questionable,

693
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 5: I think, so we might need to fall up on that.

694
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 5: But yeah, I just think in general this might hurt

695
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: defense overall because Fitz was playing pretty good, you know,

696
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 5: back to back three touchdown games. So I'm I've been

697
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 5: downgrading the Dolphins offense as a whole with this move.

698
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: You know, you know why I think I can answer

699
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: that question why Joesseki's having trouble. It's Chan Gailey. Chan

700
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: Gailey's was like a notorious just like tight end fader.

701
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: Like It's like he had offenses where tight ends would

702
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 3: run like twenty percent, like played like twenty percent snaps

703
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: of game, and so like Gseki, he is like a

704
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: new thing for him.

705
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 5: Right now, I feel well, I mean, he would have

706
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: fooled me week two when he was using Seki as

707
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 5: like a slot receiver and you know, stuff like that.

708
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 6: But then no, just you know, one catch games.

709
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's it's been hard to figure out because

710
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 5: he is talented enough to be, you know, a top

711
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 5: five tight end.

712
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 6: So I guess we'll see.

713
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the running backs that we have

714
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: at the top of our rankings, and those guys again

715
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: probably no surprise, we have Alvin Kamara number one, Kareem

716
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: Hunt number two, and Derrick Henry number three. Sean, talk

717
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: to me about some guys that you are high on

718
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: this week.

719
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 5: So the first guy I'm high on is a little

720
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 5: bit of wild card, but it's Le'Veon Bell. I have

721
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 5: him running back twenty eight right now, but I think

722
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 5: in DFS he makes total sense. This is, you know,

723
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 5: a GVP flyer that you know, this is hashtag revenge

724
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 5: game for him. The Chiefs were favored by twenty points.

725
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: You know, that might be a little too low. We'll see.

726
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 5: I think that this game could be permanent garbage time

727
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: and I personally have not felt Le'Veon Bell is really

728
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 5: a threat to Clyde Edwards Hilayer's you know, long term

729
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 5: value as much as other people. I think that he

730
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 5: was brought in for situations like this. You know, we've

731
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 5: we've noted time and time this season that the Chiefs

732
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 5: they tend to run the ball a little bit more

733
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 5: this year when they have the lead. So I think

734
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 5: Le'Veon Bell could be a guy that gets some of

735
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 5: these garbage time carries. So I love his upside this week.

736
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 5: I think he's a potential low, low end RB two

737
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 5: flex type of play. He's worth a flyer in my opinion.

738
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 5: And the other guy is Cream Hunt. You know, he's

739
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 5: my running back three. He's way too cheap in DFS,

740
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 5: he's sixty to nine hundred. I think he's you know,

741
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 5: he's disappointed replacing Chubb. I think we all thought he

742
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 5: was going to be a top three, top five back

743
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 5: with Chubb out, But you know, the schedule has been

744
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: pretty tough for him, so I've been you know, ranking him,

745
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 5: you know, RB seven most of these weeks.

746
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 6: But this week should be a blow up spot for him.

747
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 6: Against the Raiders.

748
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 5: We finally saw his passing game usage increase up to

749
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 5: seventy six percent routes run per dropback, So I think

750
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 5: this could be a ceiling game for Kareem Hunts. Some

751
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 5: have a ton of in dfs given his his price

752
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 5: is way to about sixty nine hundred.

753
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: All right, Raybond, who do you like?

754
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: I like Jonathan Taylor this week going against Detroit that's

755
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: one of the worst run defenses in the league. I think,

756
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: you know, Taylor coming off the buy, we've kind of

757
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: forgotten about him. The backfield work has been a little

758
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 3: shaky and kind of up and down because Indianapolis has

759
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 3: had some weird game scripts. But I really like Taylor

760
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: to rebound this week. And Josh Jacobs is down at

761
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 3: sixty two hundred, I like him to have a good

762
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 3: game as well. That Cleveland defense is not very good.

763
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they have some some pieces on

764
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: that line, but overall, this is a team that's been

765
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: giving up a ton of points. And I think this

766
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: will be a high scoring game. And you know, as

767
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: long as the old line is it as the one

768
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: as we don't have five aligneman now and you know,

769
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 3: and I think in like last week going against Tampa,

770
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a nightmare run defense. So I think Jacobs,

771
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, take the take the discount that you get

772
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: from from facing that Tampa Bay defense, because sixty two

773
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 3: hundred is way way too low for Josh Jacobs.

774
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: All right, a guy who has caught my eye, and

775
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: I'll just say I probably need to adjust my rankings

776
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: and the market share that I'm giving to him. But

777
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: Jack McKinnon, I think he's going to be the lead

778
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: back And I'm basing this on almost nothing because it's

779
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: a Shanahan backfield. How do we know? We know nothing, right,

780
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: I'll just say that we know nothing. No one would

781
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: have predicted that Jeffrey Wilson in week seven would would

782
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: lead the backfield and then especially go on to have

783
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: a massive performance. But we did have After the game,

784
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan saying that it was a planned thing for

785
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: them to rest Jeric McKinnon and not overuse him in

786
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: week seven because they used him more than they had

787
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: originally planned on earlier in the year, and so I'm

788
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: not reading too much into the usage that we saw

789
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: out of Jamichael Haysey, although I think he certainly will

790
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 2: play second fiddle and will get carries. But I do

791
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: think that McKinnon is going to be the guy, even

792
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: though he did nothing last week. That's actually pretty similar

793
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: to what we saw with Wilson, who was really doing

794
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: nothing in the game's previous to his Week seven breakout.

795
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: So I think McKinnon is going to be the guy

796
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: who leads that backfield, and right now I would say

797
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: I aggressively have him ranked number thirteen, so just outside

798
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: the top twelve. But you know, someone we know in

799
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: that backfield, someone is going to go off, or there's

800
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: at least the potential for someone to do it, And

801
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: based on what we've seen out of McKinnon so far

802
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: earlier in the year, I do think that he's going

803
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: to get the majority of the backfield work and that

804
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: will result in production. Sean, who are you low on?

805
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 6: I'm low on Jones this week.

806
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 5: I have him ranked RB nineteen, and I just want

807
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 5: to say that despite my good projections for him, I

808
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 5: think he has one of the lowest floors of the

809
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 5: RB twos. You know, Leonard Fournette looked pretty healthy last week,

810
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 5: and he out touched him. This is a situation where

811
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 5: you know, this could turn into timeshare this week at worse,

812
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 5: or you know, you know, he could lose his job

813
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 5: to Fournette outright this week, and he plays Monday night.

814
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 5: So I'd be careful if if you have a running

815
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 5: back in this range, I would start him over Ronald

816
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 5: Jones just due to just the wide range of outcomes

817
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 5: right now. And you know, this has been a concern

818
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 5: for a while with Jones, and I think that time

819
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: has come where we kind of have to be careful

820
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 5: of him. And the other guy is DeAndre Swift. Not

821
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 5: that I'm low on him long term. I love his

822
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 5: upside and I think, you know, over the next few

823
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 5: weeks we're going to see him really overtake Adrian Peterson.

824
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 5: It was it was good to see kary On Johnson

825
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 5: completely phased out, I mean, at zero touches last week.

826
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 5: So this could turn into you know DeAndre Swift's backfield,

827
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 5: but you know, ap still out touched them last week.

828
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: This is a tough matchup against the Colts their ranks

829
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 5: six and then DV a versus the run. So I

830
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 5: don't think we're going to see another huge game from

831
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 5: Swift this week. And he's you know, he's pretty cheap

832
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: at fifty three hundred, I think he's going to be

833
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 5: pretty high owned. I think a good pivot is the

834
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 5: guy that Raybon mentioned earlier is Miles Gaskin is fifty

835
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 5: two hundred. I think he's going to be underround there.

836
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 5: So I think this is just a pivot situation for

837
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 5: me where I'm going to be fading guy like Swift

838
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 5: that's going to be pretty popular, and go with Gaskin

839
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 5: at the same price.

840
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: Raybond, who are you fading?

841
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary? We talked about him last week. You know,

842
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: with Zach Moss there, he's averaging about five West carries

843
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: per game. We saw Moss's workload started to tick up,

844
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: and in the fourth quarter we saw Moss getting carries

845
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 3: over Singletary when they were trying to milk the cock.

846
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: So Buffalo is a small favorite against New England but

847
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: New England's been, you know, until Jeff Wilson gashed them,

848
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: They've been pretty solid against a run. But this Buffalo

849
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 3: seem just not very good at run blocking, and they

850
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 3: came out throwing the ball all over against the Jets.

851
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: So it's kind of there's as a high variant situation.

852
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: I think Singletary is trending down, and this is another

853
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: situation where you want to kind of buy into to

854
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: the rookies, and you want to buy in some moss

855
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 3: now because he's probably going to uptick now that he's healthy.

856
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: You guys know who I'm going to say. It's the

857
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: guy that I've been saying for the past two weeks,

858
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott. I'm low on Ezekiel Elliott. And you know,

859
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 2: two weeks ago that maybe didn't look all that great,

860
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: although I would say like there was, you know, some

861
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: hidden cause for concern there. You know, what we saw

862
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: out of Zeke two weeks ago was that he had

863
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: only forty nine yards on twelve carries. That's not great,

864
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: but he was able to compensate by having ten targets

865
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: which he turned into eight receptions, but again only thirty

866
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: one yards. That's not something that was sustainable, and that

867
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: definitely came back to roost in Week seven, when he

868
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 2: again had twelve, but now only two targets and had

869
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: a total of just fifty one yards. This is a

870
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: situation where he's missing every offensive line, every offensive lineman

871
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: who has ever meant anything to him going back to

872
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: grade school. It's a horrible situation along the offensive line.

873
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: It's looking likely that he's going to have a third string,

874
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 2: seventh round rookie quarterback at the helm of that offense,

875
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: as opposed to the veteran Andy Dalton, who, by the way,

876
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: like Dalton wasn't doing all that great on his own.

877
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: But the guy who couldn't beat out Dalton, that's the

878
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: guy who's probably going to be starting this week. This

879
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: is a low total, I believe right now, a forty

880
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: three and a half point total. The Cowboys are seven

881
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: and a half point underdogs. That gives them an imply

882
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: total of eighteen points. Eighteen points. That's like Jets level

883
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: bad on offense, Like if this is an offense that

884
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 2: can't sustain drives in an offense that can't give Zeke

885
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 2: efficient opportunities, much less goal line opportunities, like what are

886
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 2: we excited about he basically became like a bad version

887
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 2: of Todd Gurley. Like, I'm just I'm like, full fade

888
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 2: on Ezekiel Elliott from now until eternity probably or until

889
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: we see some competent offensive line play or just offense

890
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: in general. But with an imply total this low, and

891
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: based on what we've seen the past two weeks, there's

892
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: just absolutely no way that I can put Zeke in

893
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: my top ten. So I mean, I wouldn't say it's

894
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: a good idea to go the full fade of putting

895
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: him at number twenty, but man like that that's just

896
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 2: where he's coming out because I don't I don't see

897
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: him getting touchdowns. So I am out on Ezekiel Elliott. Sean,

898
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: give us the prop, and if it's a prop that

899
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: has to do with Zeke, I will riot.

900
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 5: Well, get ready to riot, because I got a lot

901
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 5: of insights. It's like somebody coming up to the sportsbook

902
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 5: counter and just complaining about a game and then okay,

903
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 5: I'll bet it now, and then I offer like.

904
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 6: A line knowing all of your beefs.

905
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, when it comes to projecting running backs,

906
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 5: I like thinking, when when I come to a backfield, Like,

907
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 5: is it comfortable project them? Is it uncomfortable? I would

908
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 5: say the Buccaneers forty nine ers are probably the most

909
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 5: uncomfortable team to project this week. But nothing is more

910
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 5: uncomfortable than projecting Zefiel Elliot's rushing yards. So I need

911
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 5: some help with this. Thank you Freeman for all your insight.

912
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 5: I lowered it quite a bit, but right now I

913
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 5: have my projection at sixty two and a half rushing yards,

914
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 5: which is it feels crazy to say, but that's that's

915
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 5: where I'm at.

916
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm over.

917
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 7: I got I got it.

918
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: I got him at seventy seven. And by the way,

919
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 3: I'm buying Zeke everywhere, like every everywhere, Like just give

920
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 3: me all of the z because, like listen, he's I've

921
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 3: called out Andy Dalton week after week. He's terrible. They're

922
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: the guy who's behind him is probably terrible. But at

923
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: the end of the day, running production is going to

924
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: come down to usage, And what is daw Was gonna

925
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: do If they have a quarterback no one ever heard of,

926
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna give Zeke like thirty five touches, like you know,

927
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: like I want Zeke just on the like off chance

928
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: he gets this halfway turned around. You're never gonna get

929
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 3: to buy a player with that kind of upside for

930
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 3: as low as as this, Like there's very it's very

931
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 3: rare that you get this kind of opportunity, and it's

932
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 3: only it's been two games and two of probably the

933
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: worst kind of games that could have happened, and they

934
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: happen to go back to back. So I think, in

935
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 3: my opinion, I think we should be capitalizing off this.

936
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 3: Like I get it, like there's downside, but how often

937
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 3: do you get to buy a dude like Zeke for

938
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 3: probably like you know, a wide receiver two or three?

939
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree on the by low. I would

940
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 5: think that they would generate touches just passing it to him.

941
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 5: Just give him the offensive line issues that might make

942
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 5: more sense. So I think his fancy value is still

943
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 5: top ten this week, but just I think it's going

944
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 5: to come at the expensive rushing yards just behind this

945
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 5: offensive line in a trailing game.

946
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 6: Script is partially why I have it so low.

947
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: I don't know Eagles gave up what the eighty should

948
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 3: I gave up a ninety two high run to Daniel Jones, so.

949
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: Who knows?

950
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 3: Man, it's NC East is just like a shit show,

951
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 3: just a fucking show.

952
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 2: Here's here's one thing that gives me even more pause

953
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: when it comes to Zeke. By the way, I'll be

954
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: the donkey who takes the under here, even though I

955
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: know you moved the line down now, I.

956
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 6: Think I think the line will be around this range.

957
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So I will, I mean, I'll take the under,

958
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 2: although I just I know, I know I shouldn't do it,

959
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: but I'm in a I'm in a position of hatred

960
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 2: right now. Ezekiel Elliott in the past two weeks has

961
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 2: had just forty five percent of the team's carries. He's

962
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: not even getting the full treatment. Like you could say

963
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 2: they want to give him thirty touches per game, but

964
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: that's not even close to the way that we've seen

965
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: them use him in the past two weeks. So it's

966
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 2: a situation where the offense is getting worse and he's

967
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: not getting nearly the usage that you would expect. So

968
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: I will, I will take the under on Ezekiel Elliott.

969
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: I can't believe this is what's happening to me right now.

970
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,279

Speaker 8: in Nevada. And now back to the show.

989
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the wide receivers, the guys that

990
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 2: we have at the top of our rankings, DeVante Adams,

991
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett, and DK metcalf. We have two Seahawks at

992
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: the top of our rankings. It makes me think of

993
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks last year where we had both

994
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at the top of our rankings.

995
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 2: That's really where we are with these two Seahawks wide

996
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: receivers who have just been totally dominant in the first

997
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: half of the season. Sean, who do you like for

998
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 2: Week seven?

999
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 5: So I'm a nominated player I know for sure ray

1000
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 5: Bon wants and one player I know for sure Raybon

1001
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 5: would never nominate ever.

1002
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 6: So here we go. I'm going cheaper guys that I.

1003
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 5: Think are you know, potential wide receiver four flex type

1004
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 5: of bie week filling options and you know, tremendous DFS

1005
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 5: plays this week, And the first one is Denzel Mims

1006
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 5: at thirty two hundred. I mean, even if Crowder ends

1007
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 5: up playing, I think he's a still at this price.

1008
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 5: Last week, I thought he was gonna be limited in

1009
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 5: his debut, but you know, he ran a route on

1010
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 5: eighty percent of dropbacks, so I think that that could

1011
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 5: be above ninety this week. I think he's already a

1012
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 5: full time player. You know, they're they're playing at case

1013
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 5: as you know, like fifty point underdogs, so that this

1014
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 5: could be a game where there's a ton of passing volume.

1015
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 6: And he did. He looked good.

1016
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 5: He went four catches for forty two yards, So I

1017
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 5: don't think people are gonna be flocking to him. But

1018
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 5: it kind of goes with what Raymond was saying is,

1019
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: you know, invest on these rookies before they go off,

1020
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 5: and I think Denzel Mims could be one of those

1021
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 5: guys over the next couple of weeks. And yeah, if

1022
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 5: Jamison Crowder is out, I think people will gravitate towards

1023
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 5: him and he'll be a free square. And the other

1024
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 5: guy is Kendrick Bourne at thirty five hundred. This is

1025
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 5: a guy I wouldn't expect Raybond nominate.

1026
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 6: But really, I've.

1027
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 3: Never heard me from on The Serious Show bro Kenrick Born.

1028
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 5: Way, yeah, way, I got to mix up. I think

1029
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 5: Freeman's one that ships on.

1030
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah.

1031
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, so anyway, yeah, yeah, good.

1032
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 6: I stole both your guys.

1033
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 5: So, uh, you know, Debo has already been ruled out,

1034
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 5: and I don't think this was factored in the pricing

1035
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 5: because it was announced Monday, But you know, the passing

1036
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 5: game will be elevated against Seattle, and Burn usually does

1037
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 5: step up when he gets the call and you know,

1038
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 5: increase in playing time. So you know, I think he

1039
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 5: has elevated touchdown odds this week. You know, we all

1040
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 5: know he's sort of one of the low key red

1041
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 5: zone weapons in this offense. So I love Born this

1042
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 5: week at thirty five hundred, I think he'll be pretty

1043
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 5: highly owned, but I'm willing to go with the chalk

1044
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 5: hair I Ray Bond.

1045
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: Who do you like?

1046
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 6: Man?

1047
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: First of all, did he still your guys?

1048
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 5: No?

1049
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 3: I mean, well, Mims, I was gonna mention, So yeah, Mims, definitely.

1050
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't even I was gonna I was gonna talk

1051
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: about Uh. I was gonna say au just because I

1052
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 3: think he's, uh, you know, he's kind of this is

1053
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: another rookie that's going to kind of be you know, breakout,

1054
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 3: ready to go kind of thing. So I like Ayuk

1055
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 3: as well, but I think Bourne's a good call. And uh,

1056
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: I like aj Brown at the top kind of the

1057
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: that like top end studs this week. I mean, you

1058
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: have Adams, you have Metcalf and all those guys that

1059
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 3: are gonna be a popular feeling Lockett. So Brown at

1060
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: sixty nine hundred may not get quite as much ownership

1061
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 3: as you know, you would think he would, but him

1062
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 3: and then Tyreek Hill at sixty seven hundred, both of

1063
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: those guys I think, are you know, great cash game

1064
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 3: plays because like last week, I think it was a

1065
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 3: smash DeVante week, but he's up to eighty eight hundred

1066
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 3: now and Metcalf we kind of saw that there can

1067
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: be some some volatility there in San Francisco has been better,

1068
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 3: uh with their with their defense after that, like they

1069
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 3: didn't get rid of that their practice squad corner. So

1070
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 3: I like those two guys at the top. And then

1071
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 3: I think Jarvis Landry is a guy that we have

1072
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: to consider now because you know Odell Beckham out for

1073
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 3: the year. Cleveland really doesn't have many options at receiver.

1074
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 3: They don't throw a lot and they use a lot

1075
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 3: of too tight end. But Jarvis Landry is going to

1076
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 3: be that the number one receiver is probably going to

1077
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 3: run a round on about ninety to ninety five percent

1078
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 3: of the dropbacks, I would think, which is going to

1079
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 3: be a little up from what he's been doing. And

1080
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 3: he's fifty six hundred and he's very capable of putting

1081
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 3: up a big game in a game against Vegas where

1082
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 3: again Cleveland's defense has not been good, and like, yes,

1083
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 3: they're going to run the football, but they're gonna have

1084
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 3: to throw at some point, and I think Landry could

1085
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: have a big game in that mid price here.

1086
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: All right, one guy I'm looking at is Cooper Cup,

1087
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 2: and both of you guys have him outside of the

1088
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: top twelve. I have him at number nine, and I

1089
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 2: think a big part of it is just won the matchup.

1090
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: He has a very advantageous slot matchup going against Nick

1091
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 2: Needhm in Miami, who's a you know, undrafted second year

1092
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: guy who is kind of like a backup who's been

1093
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: thrust into a starting role just because Miami is dissatisfied

1094
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: with the recent play of their first rounder. And so

1095
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: a guy who really shouldn't be out there, who's more

1096
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: of a special teamer is getting significant action. And so

1097
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: I think it's a really advantageous matchup. And then on

1098
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 2: top of that, I mean Cup is still the number

1099
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 2: one receiver in that offense just in terms of market share,

1100
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 2: and so I am expecting him, you know, especially coming

1101
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 2: off a Monday night game in which he did really

1102
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: very little, expecting him to be maybe a little bit

1103
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 2: kind of in a bounce back spot of like the

1104
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: higher range of what you might expect from him in

1105
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 2: terms of his target chair. So I have him at

1106
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 2: number nine, and you know, he's like just consistently like

1107
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 2: continuing to pace for like another like thousand yard season,

1108
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: probably more like eleven hundred yards, which, like you know,

1109
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 2: all things considered, is not bad. So have him at

1110
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 2: number nine. Sean, who are you low on?

1111
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 5: I'm low on Marquis Brown. This week he's sixty one hundred.

1112
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 5: He's facing Pittsburgh. I love Brown's upside the rest of

1113
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 5: the season. I think we he's been sort of a

1114
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 5: high floor, low ceiling type of player this year, which

1115
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 5: is kind of weird. I think we will see a

1116
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 5: breakout game at some point. But you know, over the

1117
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 5: next four or five games, his schedule is pretty brutally.

1118
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 5: He plays the Steelers this week, then again in four

1119
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 5: weeks they play the Steelers, he plays the Colts and

1120
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 5: then the Patriots, and then you know the Titans might

1121
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 5: be a little bit easier matchup, but you know, the

1122
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 5: the last four weeks he faces the Cowboys, Browns, Jaguars,

1123
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 5: and Giants. So if you're in season long leagues. I

1124
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 5: think sort of use this time that over the next

1125
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 5: two weeks to buy low on Marquis Brown, because I

1126
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 5: think he will go off when it matters the most

1127
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 5: in the Fantasy playoffs.

1128
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 6: But right now, I just I think.

1129
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 5: His his floor is way lower this week against Pittsburgh,

1130
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 5: So I'll be fading him at sixty one hundred in

1131
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 5: DFS this week.

1132
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 2: Ray Baun, who are you high on? Sorry? Who are

1133
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 2: you low on? For me?

1134
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be Adam Thielen. He's the probably

1135
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 3: the third highest price receiver if Michael Thomas is out again.

1136
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 3: Green Bay has been really good against number one receivers

1137
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 3: this year. They are allowing thirty eight point one schedule

1138
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 3: adjusted yards per game to number one. That is the

1139
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 3: best in the league. And so, you know, Thielan is

1140
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 3: kind of a guy who's put up some huge monster

1141
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 3: games and then he went on a buy. But I

1142
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 3: think people are gonna kind of look at those game

1143
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 3: logs and see nothing but you know, double digits except

1144
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 3: for that one Indianapolis game. But I think this could

1145
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 3: be kind of a slower game, or at least not

1146
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 3: like a ceiling game, kind of like Will Fuller last

1147
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 3: week where I think he did get a touchdown, but

1148
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 3: it wasn't really the true ceiling game that people were

1149
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 3: looking for out of him. So I think you're gonna

1150
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 3: see the same thing out of DeLand, like one of

1151
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: his more mediocre games of this year. And Alan Robinson's

1152
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 3: another guy. We saw him get banged up on Monday

1153
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 3: Night Football. I'm not sure exactly what happened to him

1154
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 3: or if he's if he's entering the protocol or not,

1155
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 3: but right now he looks like he's questionable. This Chicago

1156
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 3: offense has just been abysmal, and I think the Saints

1157
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 3: are going to be able to defend him. You know,

1158
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: they got their corners healthy again, Jenkins and Lattimore, and

1159
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,479
Speaker 3: I think they're going to They're going to be able

1160
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 3: to take a bang up Robinson out of the game

1161
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 3: if he's even healthy. So he's another guy that I'm

1162
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 3: off this week.

1163
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But I'm with you there on Alan Robinson.

1164
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 2: One guy further down the board for me that I

1165
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 2: realized I am very low on is Corey Davis. You

1166
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 2: guys have him as more of a wide receiver.

1167
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 6: Three.

1168
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 2: I have met number forty seven, and a big part

1169
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: of it is that even though he's gotten a decent

1170
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: number of targets, I think that's a little bit fluky.

1171
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 2: I do think that the Titans are going to have

1172
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 2: maybe a little more of a run heavy script in

1173
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: this game, and so he might just have few targets

1174
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: to begin with. And then also it's not as if

1175
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 2: he's been all that efficient with his targets. I mean,

1176
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to say, although I have said this before,

1177
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: that every target that goes to Corey Davis is a

1178
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: crime against humanity. But you know, like there are other

1179
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: guys who should be getting those targets, Like shift those

1180
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: targets away from Corey Davis and toward AJ Brown, toward

1181
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 2: John new Smith, even like toward Anthony Ferkser, right toward

1182
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. Get them away from Corey Davis. That guy

1183
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: should be target repellent. But anyway, I mean, he had

1184
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: thirty five yards on ten targets last week, Like, come on,

1185
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: this is not the guy who should be getting targets.

1186
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 2: And going against Cincinnati, I don't think that we are

1187
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: going to see a Tennessee team that really needs to

1188
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 2: throw the ball all that much. So that is why

1189
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: I am low on Corey Davis Sean give us the prop.

1190
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 5: So we're gonna go with Chase Claypolver receaving yards as

1191
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 5: a way to talk about the Steeler wide receiver situation.

1192
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 5: You know, right when we've thought Chase coopol is breaking out,

1193
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 5: they go right back to Deontae Johnson and Juju Smith Schuster.

1194
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 5: Both of them caught nine balls last week, and Chase

1195
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 5: Claypool ended with one catch for minus two yards. So

1196
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 5: I think people need some help here trying to figure

1197
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 5: this out. Right now, I'm still projecting Claypool that bounced back.

1198
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 5: I have his projection at fifty four and a half

1199
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 5: receiving yards.

1200
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 6: Where do you guys have him?

1201
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: This is one of the few times where I will

1202
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 2: be looking to take the under, but just barely. I

1203
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 2: haven't around fifty one and a half. And by the

1204
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 2: time I end up adjusting Deontay Johnson out because like

1205
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: we just don't know yet. So I have him, you know,

1206
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 2: adjusted right now for like ten percent of the market chare,

1207
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: but he left Week seven injured and so we really

1208
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 2: just don't know what his status is going to be.

1209
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: And so if Johnson ends up being out, then I

1210
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 2: would probably end up being on the over here. But

1211
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 2: as of now, I'm on the ender.

1212
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 3: You said the one was fifty four and a half shown.

1213
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, fifty four and a half. I should probably put

1214
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 5: a caveat that Johnson has to play, but we'll just

1215
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 5: wing it so you can take it.

1216
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 3: I still have Johnson actually projected I think as the

1217
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 3: fourth wide receiver or him. Yeah, I have him as

1218
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 3: the wide receiver four right now, but I have Crapool

1219
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: at fifty five point four, so I am point nine

1220
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 3: over your fifty four and a half. So I'll take

1221
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: the over.

1222
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 6: Listen.

1223
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 3: You know, we see, we've seen the talent. We've seen

1224
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 3: that this this offense is still I think it's twenty

1225
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 3: twenty fourth or twenty third in yards per play. They

1226
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 3: haven't really been good. They've been struggling, so I don't

1227
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 3: think they're going to go away from Quaypool. And we

1228
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 3: still did see him run over half the drop backs

1229
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 3: last week, and James Washington was actually the guy that

1230
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 3: took the back seat. So you had Johnson no Juju

1231
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 3: at ninety four, Johnson at eighty six percent, Quaipu at

1232
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 3: sixty six percent, and then Washington twenty four percent. So

1233
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 3: that to me every time, you know, any time you

1234
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 3: have a bunch of good receivers on a team like this,

1235
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a couple of weeks where they just

1236
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 3: have a really bad game. I mean, Chase Klapo's game

1237
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 3: was pretty much the same as DK metcalt game. But

1238
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 3: we have him ranked like number three, right, So it's like,

1239
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just not going to overreact, been on talent,

1240
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 3: and don't fade rookies this time of year, if anything,

1241
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 3: be aggressive with them.

1242
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that's the takeaway for me too.

1243
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 5: Don't expect four touchdown games from him going forward, but

1244
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 5: you know he's still potentially a league winning pickup in

1245
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 5: Week six, So don't let the one catch game discourage you.

1246
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 5: Keep him in your lineup. You don't want him to

1247
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 5: go off on your.

1248
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 2: Bench, all right. The guys at the top of our

1249
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 2: tight end rankings, we have George Kittle, Darren Waller, and

1250
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey Sean. Who are you high on?

1251
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 5: I'm high on Harrison Bryant, And you know it might

1252
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 5: seem point Chase he can here. He just caught two touchdowns,

1253
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 5: But I think it was pretty predictive. If you're paying

1254
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 5: attention to Sunday morning updates. He was announced starting over

1255
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 5: David Joku and this is a tight end friendly offense,

1256
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 5: so without Odell Beckham, I'm keeping Harrison Bryant in the

1257
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 5: starting lineup for them. He should see over sixty percent

1258
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 5: of routes run per drop back, I think this week.

1259
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 5: So he's in my top ten tight ends this week.

1260
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 5: So I have thirty two hundred on DraftKings. I think

1261
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 5: he's pretty much a free square to play this week

1262
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 5: concerning just how poor the tight end position is as

1263
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 5: a whole outside of the top three guys. So I'll

1264
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 5: be loading up on Harrison Bryant this week. I think he'll,

1265
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 5: you know, have the potential to have another big game

1266
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 5: this week.

1267
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: Raymond, who are you high on?

1268
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 3: Let's go with Johnah Smith. You know, came off the

1269
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 3: kind of a slow game, injured the week before, only

1270
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 3: played split essentially split time with Ferks or even last week.

1271
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 3: Now he's two weeks removed, I think he'll come back

1272
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 3: and get up to his normal you know, sixty five

1273
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 3: ish percent of the dropbacks, which in a week like

1274
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 3: this I think is still very valuable because you look

1275
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 3: at his matchup and he's going against the Cincinnati Bengals

1276
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 3: and the Cincinnati Bengals are allowing seventy one point four

1277
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 3: schedule adjusted yards per game to tight ends. That is

1278
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 3: the most in the league, and that's actually more than

1279
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 3: they're allowing to wide receiver rues or wide receiver twos

1280
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 3: or running back. So this could be a big game

1281
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 3: for John Win. He's been consistently a guy that's going

1282
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 3: to do put up big games, even though he's not

1283
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 3: running a super majority of routes. So I think that,

1284
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 3: you know, the last two weeks, it's kind of lowering

1285
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 3: the market on him, but I expect him to be

1286
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 3: a little healthier this week and to be a much

1287
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 3: bigger part of the game plan.

1288
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 2: All Right, one guy I am high on, and I'll

1289
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 2: just say I am anticipating that I will probably adjust

1290
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 2: this down, but I don't know if I want to.

1291
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 2: I am high on Albert Okaway Boonham. I think I

1292
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 2: said in his name correctly, but I really don't know.

1293
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep trying, though, because it's a name

1294
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 2: we need to know, because this guy, I think really

1295
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: could be a star. He's been active only two games,

1296
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 2: one of them was with fans out, so maybe he

1297
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 2: saw some inflated usage because of that. But he's had

1298
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 2: a twenty one percent target share in his two games.

1299
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 2: And we have Tim Patrick, who has been the number

1300
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: one perimeter receiver for the Broncos. He's injured, so we

1301
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 2: don't know for sure if he's going to play, so

1302
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: we could see maybe a few more targets going towards

1303
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 2: Albert Oh And he does have that shower narrative connection

1304
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 2: with college quarterback Drew Locke. There's a situation where this guy,

1305
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 2: I think he's going to get targets. He has that connection,

1306
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: the long standing connection with his quarterback, and I mean

1307
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: he's just so dynamic. I don't want to say that

1308
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 2: he's like young Jimmy Graham, but he definitely has like

1309
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 2: kind of that playing style and that athlete ability. So

1310
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 2: a guy who's gotten six targets seven targets the past

1311
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 2: two weeks at a position where guys aren't really getting

1312
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: that much volume. I mean, even if you adjust him

1313
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 2: down from the twenty one percent target yere he had

1314
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 2: over the past two weeks to something more reasonable like

1315
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: sixteen percent or fourteen percent, that's still pretty decent. And

1316
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 2: with his playmaking ability, that could end up actually you know,

1317
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 2: accounting for something not insignificant. So I have him at

1318
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 2: number nine. I will probably adjust him down somehow, but man,

1319
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 2: I really don't want to, like I want to be

1320
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 2: high on Albert Oh this week?

1321
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 3: Nine wait nine yeah? Nine?

1322
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1323
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 3: Can I get a gut check on that show? Where

1324
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 3: do you have them?

1325
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 5: I mean, well, it's it's not crazy crazy because just

1326
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 5: the tight end position is so weak for this week.

1327
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was watching the game and no offense

1328
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 5: ended with like pre catches for forty yards, but after

1329
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,439
Speaker 5: every catch, no fan was like crawling off the field saying,

1330
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 5: take me out, take me out. He is not over

1331
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 5: this ankle injury. I don't think no offense even close

1332
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 5: to hundred percent. So I love the Albert ocall even

1333
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 5: if fans playing. I think that Albert could leave the

1334
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 5: team and snaps this week. So I don't think it's

1335
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 5: that crazy at all. Obviously, you know top ten is

1336
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 5: pretty crazy.

1337
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 2: But it's aggressive.

1338
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty aggressive, but I like the boldness.

1339
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 2: It's aggressive. It's aggressive, I know that, but I'm going

1340
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: to be aggressive on him.

1341
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean I have Richard Rogers and Harrison

1342
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 6: Brant in my top ten.

1343
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 2: That's this This is what I'm saying. Like it's a

1344
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 2: it's a type of week where I feel like a

1345
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 2: lot of players could slip into the bottom of the

1346
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 2: top ten. Okay, Sean, who are you low on? So?

1347
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 5: Although he's my tight end six this week? Again the

1348
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 5: tight end positions a disaster this week. I'm low on

1349
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,479
Speaker 5: TJ Hawkinson and DFS and I've you know, I've loaded

1350
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 5: up on TJ the past couple of weeks, but you

1351
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 5: know he's fifty three hundred this week They're playing the Colts,

1352
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 5: who are a pretty tough matchup the third and DVOA

1353
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 5: against passing, so you know, I'm low on him, and

1354
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 5: especially since there's so many good cheap options, well good

1355
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 5: as a subjective term, but like I said, there's plenty

1356
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 5: of good cheap options this week where I think you're

1357
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 5: either gonna want to take one of the top three

1358
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 5: guys or just spend down. I think TJ Hockinson is

1359
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 5: you know, a bit of a trap at fifty three hundred.

1360
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 5: So I'll be completely fading this in this week, after

1361
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, being pretty high on him the past couple weeks.

1362
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: Rabon, who are you fading?

1363
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 3: I don't like I don't like anyone enough to hate anyone,

1364
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 3: Like Jesus, I think I'm gonna go with Mike Giesicki.

1365
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he's the tight end six, and I just

1366
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 3: can't justify that right now. Giving you know, Sean we

1367
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 3: talked about it like he's been up and down. I

1368
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 3: don't I you know, new rookie quarterback. This is not

1369
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 3: like a situation where you know, sometimes you have like

1370
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback or a second team or they've been

1371
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 3: practicing with these other second teamers. But Sicki is a starter,

1372
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 3: So I can't justify you know, paying more for him

1373
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 3: than even a banged up Noah fan. And I'll just

1374
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 3: throw Tyer Higby's name out there in the same game.

1375
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 3: Who knows if he's even gonna play. But I mean

1376
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 3: we've seen this week in week out. Now he's playing

1377
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 3: about fifty percent of the dropbacks even when he's healthy.

1378
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 3: And you know, we saw Johnny Munt slash on Monday

1379
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 3: Night Football, So there's not like there's any kind of

1380
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 3: urgency here to play mister Tyer Higbee anymore. So yeah,

1381
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 3: I'll go with Gisicky and Higbee.

1382
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love how I'm the only one who puts

1383
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 2: his players into the outline, and then Rayvaughnd, you managed

1384
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 2: to steal get SICKI from me after being like, yeah,

1385
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 2: I don't really I don't really like anyone enough to

1386
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 2: dislike anyone anyway. That's true, But you're right everything. I

1387
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 2: don't even need to talk about Kisiki because you said

1388
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 2: everything that needs to be said about him very inconsistent

1389
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 2: with his targets. We just can't depend on him, Sean,

1390
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 2: give us the prop.

1391
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 5: Oh Man, So it's brutal this week, But I'm going

1392
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 5: to go with Harrison Bryant total receiving yards because, like

1393
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 5: I said, he's in my top ten and my projection

1394
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 5: for him is pretty low. So I have his receiving

1395
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 5: yards at thirty three and a half. So am I

1396
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 5: just crazy? Or is the position just to nightmare this week?

1397
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 2: I have it literally at thirty three point three.

1398
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 6: Okay, so under got it?

1399
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Fun so hard?

1400
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 6: Under?

1401
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think Friedman's projection is totally

1402
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 3: agree just because I have it at thirty two point zero.

1403
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm way way too high. Now what is in

1404
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 6: my top ten?

1405
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 3: But to be honest, to be fair, I have him

1406
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 3: project so Cleveland's tight end one this year's been running

1407
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 3: around about seventy round on seventy percent of the dropback,

1408
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 3: so I actually have him projected at seventy percent, but

1409
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 3: he's a yeah, he's a little lower for me. He's

1410
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 3: coming in at te sixteen and then I have and

1411
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 3: Djoko at twenty three. Bryan ran fifty nine percent of

1412
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 3: the routes last week and Ndjoku forty one.

1413
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. Just the underlying usage

1414
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 5: is there for him to put up the yards. You know,

1415
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 5: my touchdown projection firm is fairly low. I the two

1416
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,560
Speaker 5: touchdowns was certainly a fluke, but just underlying usage is

1417
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 5: there to see more targets this week. I will want

1418
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 5: to ask one thing though, with David Joku potentially on

1419
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 5: the trading block, do they feature him this week to

1420
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 5: sort of you know, that's the only concern I have

1421
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 5: with Bryant is Joku getting you know, more playing time

1422
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 5: just so they can get more bang for their buck

1423
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 5: for him?

1424
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 6: What do you think?

1425
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if even if they wanted to feature

1426
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 3: in Jok who he could take advantage of it, like

1427
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,640
Speaker 3: and Joke's been such such kind of like a you

1428
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 3: know what I mean, I mean no, I like, I

1429
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 3: like the guy, and he's got some talent, but I

1430
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 3: mean when has he really ever we know, right right?

1431
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, that's like I think. I think Bryant

1432
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 3: is the guy they obviously like because they were playing

1433
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 3: him a lot from the jump. Like I feel like

1434
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 3: the first game of the year against Baltimore, Bryant was

1435
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 3: like playing like catching passes way more than we ever.

1436
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 6: Thought he would.

1437
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 3: Anyway, Hooper is taking a backseat at first, So I

1438
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 3: think they like Brian a lot, and you're only going

1439
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 3: to see him go up for air again by the rookies.

1440
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 3: I'll probably honestly raise him because by rookies' that's the motto.

1441
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 2: What a world we live in where it's week eight

1442
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 2: and we're talking about two fourth round rookie tight ends

1443
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 2: in albert O and Harrison Bryant's I feel like that's

1444
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 2: perfectly emblematic of the middle point of the season, you know,

1445
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,879
Speaker 2: week eight, five weeks in the year of our Fantasy
