Speaker 1: Writtin making a little bit of an impression, at least

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: in the first half. Second half maybe a little bit

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: of a different story. We'll have our big questions for

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: the week, plus some of our best values for daily

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: fantasy players as we had towards the bulk of Week four.

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: We joined as we always are on Fridays by your

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: of that, talk to our faithful producer, Senior Edward L.

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Murphy Esquire. Murphy's it's been a while since we've had

Speaker 1: in here. Um. And then for those living in l A.

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: We know, we have a little as a mini heat wave. Um,

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: so it was pretty hot yesterday and then my my

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: complex just took it upon themselves, so just like cut

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the A C power for everyone. So I was like

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: sitting here yesterday in the evening, um, you know, prepping

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: for the show, and then all of a sudden, like wow,

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: it's getting it's getting kind of hot in here, and

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: the temperature kept going up and up and inching towards

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: eighty and I was like, here we go again. But luckily,

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: as of this morning, it is it is back on

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: and I am I am now recording with you and

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: comfortable conditions. That is. That is all we can ask for,

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: because it is weird. I mean, this is sort of

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: life at Los Angeles that it's October two and we're

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: still dealing with temperatures in the you know, eighties or

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: so in a lot of places here. But such is life.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: So we hope, we hope you continue to have cool yeah,

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: and especially especially too, it's a good point in l

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: A and October. A lot of people want to visit

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: during the summer. It's quick note for people wh want

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to visit, like come like end of September, October November

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: the best one to visit. Do not come in June.

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: That is the first thing, especially if we're gonna go

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: to the beach. Uh, there's June gloom. It's it's foggy,

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: it's overcast. If you go to the beach in Los

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Angeles in June, you are pretty guaranteed to be disappointed.

47
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: So Eddie is right, come here, Come here late in

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: the late September. If you can get a weekend away,

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: that's that's the best time to come. All right, we

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: will bring in as we always do on Friday's our

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: friend Michael F. Florio and uh Floria. I know this

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: is a fantasy football show, but we got baseball playoffs

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: going on, and at least the first the first round

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of different places has been very interesting

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: and very exciting. I'm sorry that your your Metropolitans aren't involved,

56
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: but but at least there's to be excited and interested

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: about with the baseball playoffs. Yeah, more than half the

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: teams made it, and the Mets still couldn't their own.

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Your Dodgers have looked great. Clint Kershaw proven everyone that

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: he can pitch in the playoffs, and I stayed up

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: the other night to watch. Unfortunately, the Yankees advanced to

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: the next round. Yeah yeah, but then they got a

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: tough each it with the Rays. The Rays can can

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: certainly take them down. Uh. The one thing I think

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: is really interesting is that, uh, the Dodgers will have

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: to go to Texas to play their next round, while

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: a team from Texas Houston Astros will come to Dodger

68
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Stadium to play the A's in the next round. I

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: don't understand how that happened, but that that is what

70
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: it is. You know, I don't make the schedule. I

71
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: just watched the games. That's all. That's all I can

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: say about that. Uh. At the end of this first

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: we'll start with a little bit of news. We have

74
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: been following the story all week long of the Tennessee

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Titans in the Pittsburgh Steelers game. We learned earlier in

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the week that that game has been postponed and moved

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: to a later date. We now know what that date

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: is going to be, so the Steelers and Titans will

79
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: now play each other in week seven. The game between

80
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Ravens that was scheduled for weeks seven

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: will be moved now to week eight, which means that

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore's by, which had been in Week eight, will be

83
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: in week seven instead. I know this is sounds confused,

84
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: using there are plenty of places on the Internet that

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: has it in written form, so you can go check

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: it out there and sort of keep up with it.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: But that is the long and short of it. As

88
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: for what happens in Week four, I know I've been

89
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: getting a lot of questions about it, so I'll run

90
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: down sort of the the basics of it. Everybody involved

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: in that Steelers Titans game will now have a Week

92
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: four by since the game has been rescheduled. This is

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: the new bye weeks for Pittsburgh and Tennessee. They will

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: not have another by later on in the year. No

95
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: players will get any special designation. I know a lot

96
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: of folks have asked whether or not there Titans or

97
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Steelers players will be eligible for the COVID list that

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: has been placed on a lot of fantasy rosters. That

99
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: will not be the case because unless those players are

100
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: specifically put on the NFL's COVID reserve list, they're not

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: eligible for your fantasy COVID reserve spot. So if you

102
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: have a player with a special special designation, if they

103
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: are on injury reserve or what have you, they will

104
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: retain those but no Steelers or Titans, unless previously designated,

105
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: will be put on the COVID list. So there it is.

106
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: I know that was a whole lot of information to

107
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: sort of digest, but again, you can go to NFL

108
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: dot com, you can check Twitter. There's plenty of information

109
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: out there to sort of help you break this down.

110
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: And so we'll we'll sort of see how this goes on.

111
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: This is the beginning of what we expected to be

112
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a difficult and confusing season. We hope that this is

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: the last time, but I think we're sort of bracing

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: for the fact that this may not be the last

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: time we have one of these situations before the end

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: of the season. All right. Other news, Chris Godwin Leonard

117
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: for Nett have been ruled out of the Bucks Week

118
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: four contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Godwin is dealing

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury. For Net has an ankle injury.

120
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: And Florida. I mean, these are guys that are gonna

121
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: be a big part of the Buccaneers offense. I mean,

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: you take this out, this changes a lot of things.

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: Who are you expecting to sort of pick up the

124
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: slack this week against the Chargers. I think Mike Evans

125
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: is the obvious one. Hopefully he can be used for

126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: more than just being like a goal line wide receiver specialist,

127
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: which is kind of how he's been used in these

128
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: first three weeks. I think he'll see a big boost

129
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: in targets. I think seeing ground get you know, involved

130
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: in Week three that hopefully leads to more things to

131
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: come for those who drafted him. And then I think

132
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: Scottie Miller and Justin Watson will also there now in

133
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the flex range for me in the fantasy football rankings

134
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: this week. Now. I saw some chatter just before we

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: started recording that maybe key Shawn Vaughan uh is active

136
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: and maybe he starts to get on the field and

137
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: get some touches. That that's the name that we haven't

138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: talked about since probably the end of August, maybe right

139
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: around Labor Day. Any interest in in plugging him in

140
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: deeper leagues or is this just sort of a hands

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: off situation. Yeah, to me, that's a lot of speculation.

142
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: That's someone that, like the fantasy community as a whole,

143
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: I think wants to see on the field. So we're

144
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: trying to like will it to existence, but I think

145
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: he's more of a player that maybe this week you

146
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: could take a speculative add on have on your bench.

147
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: There's no way I would feel comfortable enough getting him

148
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: into my starting lineup, especially since the Chargers are so

149
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: tough against the run. But it also comes down to

150
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: how much time is for Neet going to miss because

151
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: we know that once he's back, it's going to be

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: to the same role for Keyshawn Van. He's not gonna

153
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: play over Jones and for Net In my opinion, yeah, no,

154
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. I I think that at

155
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: least in the short term, maybe this does mean a

156
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: bit of a heavier workload for Ronald Jones. The hard

157
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: part with the Buccaneers running backs is that it's going

158
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: to be sort of a moving target all year. You know,

159
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: it was a couple of weeks ago Jones had the

160
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: fumble and then we end up seeing a lot of

161
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: for Net. Last week it was less for Net more Jones.

162
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: So I get the feeling it's gonna be hard to

163
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: sort of pin down how each guy is going to

164
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: perform or what their workload is going to be on

165
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: a weeks week basis, but I do think that with

166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: no Leonard four net it means more touches for Ronald Jones.

167
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: But as you pointed out that charger run defense is

168
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: not something to be taken lightly, so it may not

169
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: still be the best matchup. But understanding that, especially in

170
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: seasonal leagues, depending on what your options are, you may

171
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: be in a situation where you put Jones in as

172
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: an RB two as a flex. Just understand that the

173
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: returns may not be great. And as for the past situation,

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I agree, Mike Evans hopefully sees more downfield targets and

175
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: he is not the you know, receiving equivalent of Jerome

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: bettis getting his two catches from two yards and two touchdowns. No,

177
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: it's funny because the fantasy numbers are fine, right, and

178
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about getting with fourteen fourteen or so points

179
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: out of him. But this I always like to say,

180
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: they don't ask how, they ask how many. But in

181
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: this situation, I do feel like the how is sort

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: of important. Um, I mean, he is going to get

183
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: more than two targets or two catches this week? Right

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: with Chris Godwin, I would imagine so like when you

185
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: made the Roome Bettis comp What I had in my

186
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: head was like the Spider Man gift of like him

187
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: of Evans and Jordan Howard like another, because like that's

188
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of He's like the Jordan Howard of water receivers

189
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: right now, and I don't get it because he's also

190
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: one of the best downfield threats in the NFL. So

191
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: hopefully that it takes Chris Godwen getting hurt for them

192
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: to realize, hey, we can throw the ball downfield to

193
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. I'm expecting more out of him this week,

194
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: especially if the if the Bucks struggled to establish the run,

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: because the Chargers defense against the run has been really,

196
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: really good this year. I completely agree. All right, let's

197
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: move to the New Orleans Saints, staying in the same division.

198
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara telling people that the Saints will get back

199
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: on track and everybody will shut up. There has certainly

200
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: been a lot of talk about this Saints offense, something

201
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: that about Chimera, and he's been great through the first

202
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: three weeks of the season, after especially after last year

203
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: not having a lot of touchdowns, but he has certainly

204
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: made up for that now Arland. Cynthia Freeland, who is

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: an analytics whiz. She wrote this week on NFL dot

206
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Com that rumors of reasons the mis have been greatly exaggerated,

207
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: basically making the point that Drew Brees has never been

208
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: a big time air yards guy, at least not over

209
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the last several years. That's the way these saying offense

210
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: has operated. It has been kind of short air yards

211
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: throws to Michael Thomas, he picks up yards after the catch.

212
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara does what you're seeing on the screen. They're

213
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: taking a short pass and going down the field making

214
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: big plays out of it. So maybe we shouldn't freak out.

215
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is that is that the case? Florio? Have

216
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: we overreacted to the Saints struggling early this season? I

217
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: think a little bit, because it's hard to judge this

218
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: offense when you take away Michael Thomas right like it

219
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: would we be judging Kylie Murray on how he's playing

220
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins, or you know, like like Michael Thomas is.

221
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I know people on Twitter sometimes like to say he's overrated.

222
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: He is still one of the absolute best wide receivers

223
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in football. So you take him out of that offense,

224
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it's understandable that they will struggle. My only

225
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: calls for concern is everything, Like, like, Drew Brees is

226
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: not a big air yards quarterback, but normally he's sitting

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: around seven air yards per target. This year it's down

228
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: to five, So that is a noticeable decrease. And my

229
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: one argument for Kamara is maybe don't root for it

230
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: to get back on track, because right now in this

231
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: offense is infinite targets and that's awesome for fantasy. It's

232
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: absolutely awesome for fantasy. So yeah, maybe maybe we wanted

233
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: to sort of stay the way it is. Look, Michael

234
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Thomas has a good chance to come back and play

235
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: this week. We'll see if that if that actually happens,

236
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: in which case the passing game pretty much funnels through

237
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: he and Alvin Kamara for the most part. I think

238
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: you you can kind of fade uh, certainly fade Emmanuel Sanders,

239
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: you can fade trait Kuan Smith. We'll see how that works.

240
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: The other thing about Drew Brees that worries me is

241
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: he's still on a couple of interceptions that are just

242
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: sort of head scratchers that that we have not seen

243
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: from him in the past. I mean, I'm thinking about

244
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: the one against the Raiders on Monday Night, where it

245
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: was like he just didn't see a linebacker in the

246
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: middle of the field and throw the ball right to him.

247
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just a hiccup, Maybe it was just

248
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of a bad play. But you combine that with

249
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: the lower air yards turtle total, and it does make

250
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: me a little bit concerned about Drew Brees. I don't

251
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: have him anywhere, but I just hope that if if

252
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: this is a decline, that it doesn't impact what we're

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: seeing from some of those other past catchers. If you

254
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: have a Michael Thomas, if you have a jured Cook,

255
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: if you have a Kamar, I think you're gonna be fine.

256
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get him to football and he's

257
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna score touchdowns and he's just fine. It's some of

258
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: those other guys downfield a little further that maybe you're

259
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: worried about. All right. Maybe so maybe it's unfair, but

260
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I always when a quarterback gets this old, I always

261
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: think of the fall off the Peyton manning head and

262
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: that it just kind of happened overnight. So I'm I am.

263
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: If I have Drew Brees right now, I'm like you, Marcus,

264
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I did I didn't really draft him, but if I

265
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: have him, I'm a little bit concerned. Its quarterbacks generally

266
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: don't go through a gradual decline. They tend to just

267
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. And especially I think when you

268
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: get guys who are certainly later in their careers or

269
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to say old, because Drew Brees is

270
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: younger than me, but guys who are I'm an advanced

271
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm an advanced football age, it just tends to sort

272
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: of fall apart for them all all in a hurry.

273
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: I want Davis because it'll be fun. It would just

274
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: be fun. It would be so much fun, so much fun.

275
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Has said a couple of times this

276
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: year that maybe his role and his production won't be

277
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: what people expect of it or what it was when

278
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: he was with the New York Giants. He came out

279
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: earlier this week and said the goal in the Brown's

280
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: offense is to make Mick Chubb the number one rusher

281
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's great if you have Nick Chubb.

282
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: It actually works pretty well if you've got Kareem Hunt,

283
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: because the Browns seem to be running the football pretty effectively.

284
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: But does this mean Florial that it is maybe time

285
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: to sort of fade Beckham a little bit in this offense.

286
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: It's painful to say, like, I don't think you can

287
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: value Odell as a wide receiver one anymore in this offense.

288
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I think most weeks for me,

289
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: he's going to come in and at wide receiver to range,

290
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: because I do think his upside is especially in the

291
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: week like this week against Dallas, where I'm expecting it's

292
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: a good matchup on paper for the wide receivers one

293
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: and then two. I expect them to have to put

294
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: up more points than they've had to the last two weeks,

295
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: which I'm hopeful means that Baker will throw the ball

296
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: more than twenty three times, because the last two weeks

297
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: he's thrown it exactly twenty three times in each game.

298
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: So I think a week like this week, where you

299
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: could expect maybe a little bit more volume, is a

300
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: good week to play him. But I think on a

301
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: week to week basis, yeah, you you're not gonna get

302
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: a wade receiver one, and you may not get a

303
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver two some weeks. If the Browns can play

304
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: like they had the last two weeks and just rely

305
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: on both of those running backs. I had a tough

306
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: time sort of pegging Odell during fantasy draft season. I

307
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: didn't really know where to slot him because, on the

308
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: one hand, you know how talented he is and what

309
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: his potential ceiling could be, but I also wasn't sure

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: of how the offense was going to utilize him, knowing

311
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski was there, knowing that Stefanski generally likes to

312
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: run the football all and that they have a couple

313
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: of really good running backs. So I just never quite

314
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: figured out where to peg O. B J. For that reason,

315
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I drafted him in a whole lot

316
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: of spots. So I do think now that we're three

317
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: weeks in, we have a better idea of what to expect,

318
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: and maybe it is more in the wide receiver to range,

319
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: just because again not because of any ability decline, but

320
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: just because of the scheme and the fit there that

321
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, O'Dell is not going to be the guy

322
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: that we used to see what when he was, you know,

323
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: doing big things with the Giants and with Eli Manning

324
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: in that offense there in New York. So always great

325
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: to readjust always great to sort of rethink some things

326
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: and and I think we're now rethinking what we're thinking about.

327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Oh b J. By the way, if you guys want

328
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: more great news and knows, be sure to check us

Speaker 1: the guys who were out, and maybe some sleepers for

334
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: the week as well. You can find that in the

335
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy App on NFL dot com uh and on

Speaker 1: YouTube as well at the YouTube dot com slash NFL

337
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Plus. Florida was there answering your questions live

338
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: during the show. So if you have any last minute

339
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: injury questions, start si questions, hit him up and he

340
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: will get to as many of them as he possibly

341
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: can before we pull him away. I put his pretty

342
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: face on television or the internet or whatever it is. Um.

343
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of television, we did have Thursday Night Football on

344
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: our television sets last night, and it was a game

345
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: that on paper people sort of pooh pooed. I mean,

346
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: it didn't look great at was Broncos at Jets. Neither

347
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: team had a win to that point in the season,

348
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: but at least the fourth quarter of it turned out

349
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: to be sort of fun as a high scoring game.

350
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: The Broncos ended up getting the wint to So we're

351
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: going through some of the top scores on the Dinver

352
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: side of the ledger. Melvin Gordon had a big night

353
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and seven rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns.

354
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: My trash Guillotine League team, which is just barely missing

355
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: the cut each and every week. Thank you for that infusion.

356
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: You might have helped me stave off elimination for another week.

357
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: So that was cool. Uh, Tim Patrick had a big

358
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: knight of action. Let's spook an movin Gordon right because

359
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Melvid Gordon had the big game. Um, let's just talk

360
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: about this, Floria. What do we make of Gordon's night?

361
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: Can you keep this going? Or you know, is this

362
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: just a function of no Philip Lindsay being there? I

363
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: think it's last night was kind of the perfect storm

364
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: for Gordon. They were down to what their third string quarterback.

365
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: They did not have Philip Lindsay. The Jets defense is

366
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: missing a ton of pieces. They it was just it's

367
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: a good matchup on paper for him. I I don't

368
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: expect this every week out of Melvin Gordon. I think

369
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: we saw kind of the last two weeks the peaks

370
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: and valleys of Gordon, and I kind of expect him

371
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: to be that kind of player all year this year,

372
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: like have some big games like this and then have

373
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: some other games where you're just left wanting more production

374
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah. I I I started him because

375
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, this isn't this was an opportunity.

376
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, this was the perfect dorm because they

377
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: were going to have to lean on him, and I

378
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: think he I feel like he touched the ball on

379
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the first like five or six plays for the Broncos.

380
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, a couple of handoffs, a

381
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: couple of short passes, uh, and they really tried to

382
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: work him in. I think they were just trying to

383
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: get their quarterback comfortable and before they started to let

384
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: him go downfield. Speaking of that, Tim Patrick ended up

385
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: having a huge day for the Broncos. Six catches, a

386
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen yards and a touchdown. If you started

387
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: him somewhere, and I'm sure that number is very, very

388
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: small of people who started Tim Patrick this week, congratulations

389
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: to you because you got about twenty three fantasy points

390
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: out of it. But what we saw out of Brett

391
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Rippon was a guy who was certainly willing to be aggressive.

392
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: He threw the ball down field, he threw it into

393
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: tight windows. I mean he touchdown as he threw to

394
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick, was an absolute dart, like right through traffic,

395
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: got it right into his hands. He threw a couple

396
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: of ice balls that he dropped in the bucket. So

397
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: for our selfish fantasy purposes, I mean, I don't think

398
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: anybody's starting Brett Rippon, But does he make us feel

399
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: better about the Broncos pass catchers from a fantasy perspective,

400
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: I think so, Like anytime you have a quarterback who's

401
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: willing to air it out and give his receiver like

402
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: that Jerry Judy catch right there, Like it's not a

403
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: perfect throw by any stretch, but he's giving Jerry Judy

404
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity there to make a play and Judy comes

405
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: down with the ball and ends up scoring a touchdown.

406
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: And to me, my favorite sequence from him last night happened.

407
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the fourth quarter. He threw

408
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: a pretty nice deep ball to Dave Shawn Hamilton's. Hamilton's

409
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: just didn't come down with it. I thought even if

410
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: he tried to lay out more he could have. And

411
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: then the very next play he goes deep to Tim

412
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: Patrick again for a thirty something yard completion. So he

413
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: clearly showed that he's not afraid to throw the ball

414
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: down field. And to me, I love that for fantasy

415
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: because then you don't have to rely on your guy

416
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: catching No. Six seven balls and racking up yards, because

417
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: too long catches could be a really nice fantasy thing.

418
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: He was very aggressive. You gotta love to see that.

419
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: It was where they put in Jeff Driscoll for like

420
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: a couple of running plays. I think he like ambled

421
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: on one and like took a wicked shot too, And

422
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm like that that didn't seem particularly prudent. But who

423
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: am I? I just write about fake football for a living.

424
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Brandon McManus had a pretty good game

425
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: as well. It was an interesting kicker night because McManus

426
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: had seventeen points. Sam Ficken for the Jets had eighteen points.

427
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: I know there's the whole course of band kickers out there,

428
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: but hey, if you decided to go with kickers in

429
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: your draft kings ladup this week, then you felt pretty

430
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: good about it because those guys had pretty good games.

431
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Let's look it over to the Jets side. While we're

432
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: sitting here talking about Sam Ficken and Sam Donald. He

433
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: was the high scorer for the Jets. I don't know

434
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: what to make of the game. Right. He had two

435
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: thirty passing yards, did not throw a touchdown, but he

436
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: had eighty four rushing yards and a pretty spectacular forty

437
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown run to start the game. I don't

438
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: know what to say. I mean, Jamison Crowder ended up

439
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: with a good night seven for a buck oh four.

440
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean we're not starting Sam Donald, right, I mean

441
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: we're we're agreed on that. Right. Sam Donald is not

442
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: a fantasy relevant quarterback right now. I don't think so,

443
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: not as long as Adam Gaze is calling his plays.

444
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: Although marcut I did not know that Sam Donald, like

445
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: I know he can run, I did not know he

446
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: had wheels like that. I wish that they were just like, hey,

447
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: start running it more, because then I think he maybe

448
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: could become fantasy relevant. But right now, no, I can't

449
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: buy it either. And look, I make no bones about

450
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: my love for for usc Trojans on this show. I

451
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: want good things for him. But you're right, as long

452
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: as Adam Gays is still running that offense, it's hard

453
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: to believe that that anything will let Sam Donald prosper

454
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: in any sort of real way. But Jamison Crowder to

455
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, uh oh man, I can't believe that on

456
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: third down two. I don't. I don't understand. I don't understand,

457
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: and I know this isn't part of it. We're kind

458
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: of getting off track here, but I don't understand. And

459
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: I love Frank Gore, right, I mean, he is literally

460
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: going to live forever. But you've got a young guy

461
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: back there in le Michael p Ryan not going anywhere.

462
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you have looked awful. At what point do

463
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: you just put p Ryan back there and and see

464
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: what he can do? Just let him do his thing.

465
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I can't. I have no words

466
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: for um. Let's just go on. Let's move on to

467
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Jamison Powder. It's for hundred and four yards. It does

468
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: seem like Donald tends to get tunnel vision for certain guys.

469
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: Last week that guy was Braxton Burrios, because Crowder wasn't available.

470
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: This week, Jamison Crowder was back to doing his thing.

471
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: Is there any are there any skill position players on

472
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: this offense that we can trust not named Jamison Crowder

473
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: or or is this it right now? I think it

474
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: is just Jamison Crowder unless Crowder missed his time, and

475
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: then I actually do think it is Burrios because both

476
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: of those guys are slot receivers, and Sam Donald this

477
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: year is throwing to the slot more than basically any quarterback,

478
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: like he throws his throws about that go to the slot.

479
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: And we've seen in each game, right like week one

480
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: it was it was Jamison Crowder having the big game,

481
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: and last week it was Burials and then this week

482
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: it's back to Crowder. So I think whoever is the

483
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: Jets slot receiver is until levy On Bell returns, which

484
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: he may return next week, then it's Bell and Crowder

485
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: and that's about it. That is about it. We were

486
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: I won't say we were fully never Jets, but we're

487
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, mostly never Jets when it comes to fantasy

488
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: on this show. But if you did play them in

489
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: draft Kings, there were a couple of options out there

490
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: that got you some big points. On Thursday Night, speaking

491
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: of which today's show is sponsored by draft Kings, a

497
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: All right, we are going headlong into the meat of

498
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: Week four coming up this Sunday, and there are plenty

499
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: of questions to answer, or at least try to answer

500
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: as we get to the fourth Sunday of the NFL season.

501
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: So let's just dive into the first off, let's look

502
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: at this Piladelphia offense. The one of the big stories

503
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: around this offense this week has been they just don't

504
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: have any wide receivers. I mean, there have been multiple

505
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: practices this week in which Greg Ward is not only

506
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the number one receiver, he is the receiver. He has

507
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: been the guy working at that position in the offense.

508
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: Dallas Godder is hurt. There's just so many pieces missing.

509
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: I know what you know? Look that means maybe they

510
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: lean on Zach Ertz, maybe they lean on Miles Sanders.

511
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Miles Sanders. I mean, if if

512
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles have to be so one dimensional, can we

513
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: trust Miles Sanders against this forty Niners offense knowing the

514
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: Eagles just can't throw the football? I I still would

515
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: right now. I know the forty Niners defense on paper

516
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: looks super tough against running backs. I do think it

517
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: is worth pointing out that they played the Jets without

518
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Levi on Bell and the giantshood out say Kwon Barkley,

519
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: so that is going to impact those numbers. And I'm

520
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from the Niners defense. We know

521
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: how good they can be. But Miles Sanders is still

522
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: is finally seeing big time touches each week and they're

523
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: getting him more involved in the passing game still, so

524
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: I think you can trust him, like I still have

525
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: him as an RB one right now, because someone has

526
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: to be effective right and get the touches in the

527
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: Philly and I don't think it's gonna happen, but we

528
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: are hearing some whispers of Jalen Hurts and he rushed

529
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: for yards and twenty touchdowns in in college last year,

530
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: so just a backfield with him and Sanders being a

531
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: running throat out of that. That has me excited too,

532
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: if we ever get to see that. There have always

533
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: been those whispers since he was drafted of the Eagles

534
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: sort of remaking Jalen Hurts in Taysom Hill's image. Maybe

535
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: this is the start of that, because they need some

536
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: help from somewhere. The word I've been hearing out of

537
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has just been that they want to get Miles

538
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: Sanders touches, that that if everything goes the way they

539
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: wanted to, But Sanders could be one of the NFL

540
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: leaders in touches. I don't know that it's quite worked

541
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: out that way the first three weeks. I mean, Sanders

542
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: wasn't completely healthy at the start of the Sea season.

543
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: The offense has been just sort of a mess. But

544
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: maybe this is the start of that. Maybe they're starting

545
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: to get him the football a little bit more, and

546
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: so I would tend to agree with you that I

547
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: think they're going to try to feed him and load

548
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: him up with touches. I would think that also they

549
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: have the benefit of the Niners that are still are

550
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: not completely healthy on both sides of the football. So

551
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: maybe this game stays within a score for most of

552
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: the day, which means that that Sanders doesn't necessarily get

553
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: too impacted by game script, but man, it just gets

554
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: hard harder and harder and harder. Sort of believe in

555
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: this Eagles offense in part because Carson Wentz is played badly,

556
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: in part because they just can't keep people healthy. So

557
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I'm still riding on the Miles

558
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: Sanders train. I know I got on a little bit late,

559
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: but I'm here, and so don't make me regret this decision. Please,

560
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: That's all I'm asking. Uh, Speaking of trains, I was

561
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: driving the Kenyan Drake train all off season, just shoveling

562
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: coal into that engine like crazy. It has moved a

563
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: lot slower than I thought it would. But this week

564
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: he's got the Carolina Panthers. He's been tweeting to people

565
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: about how he's gonna step it up, about how your

566
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: fantasy managers j basically shouldn't give up on him. But Florio,

567
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen against the Panthers, what do we

568
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: do then? I think then we start to really worry. Marcus,

569
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: you were driving that train, but I went on it

570
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: with you as well. I liked Kenyan Drake coming into

571
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: the year and if I like, if I told people

572
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: who drafted Kenyan Drake in the first round, Hey, this

573
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: guy's gonna have eighteen touches in each of the first

574
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: three weeks, you think you'd feel pretty good heading into

575
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: Week four. But he's getting the touches. It just the

576
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: the targets are going to chase Edmonds right now and

577
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is vulturing all of those touchdowns away from him.

578
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: So to me, if that happens this week, then you

579
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: really got to be fearful because the biggest weakness for

580
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: the Panthers is against the run, especially allowing touchdowns to

581
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: running backs. They allowed by far the most in twenty nineteen.

582
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: They've already allowed seventh or three weeks this year, and

583
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins looking like he could legitimately be in

584
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: question this week, I'm expecting them to rely more on

585
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. But if they still go out there and

586
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: let Kyler Mary run a lot and continue to steal

587
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: those touchdowns away and he can't have a the day

588
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: against this matchup, then I would be really start to worry. Yeah,

589
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: I think that this is the week maybe things turn around.

590
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers are coming up this week. They've

591
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: got some some easier matchups coming over the next few weeks.

592
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: So I feel like this potentially is the start of

593
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: something good for for Kenyan Drake. There was a reason

594
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: we all believed in him. The usage rates have been

595
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: about what we expected them to be. It's just that

596
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: the production hasn't happened. So maybe in a basketball parlance,

597
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: or even at a baseball term of baseball parlance, you

598
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: just you want that easy one, right, you want that

599
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: easy layup. You want that, you know, that bluep single

600
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: to fall in and then you feel better and then

601
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: you start performing. So maybe this is sort of that

602
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: that easy layup that for for for Kenyan Drake, and

603
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: then he can start to really produce the way we

604
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: we hope that he would, because if it doesn't happened

605
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: this week, that I think we start to really get

606
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: concerned about what his production is going to be throughout

607
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: the year. We can say the same thing about Joe Mixon.

608
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: He's getting plenty of touches, his production has not been great.

609
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: They're using Jio Bernard as sort of the third down

610
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: pass catching back. Then you can use g O down

611
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: near the goal line to run for a touchdown. So

612
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen for Joe Mixon this week against

613
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, what are we doing with that? I think

614
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: you really like you have to worry. I'm already having

615
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: concerns if this guy is really an RB one. I

616
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: think were going forward kind of have to consider moving

617
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: him down and putting him as an RB two each weekend.

618
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: And that's what I have him ranked as this week,

619
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: even though it's a good matchup. Gio Bernards tends to

620
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: play about of the snaps each week. He's the back

621
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: that's out there in the two minute drills and and

622
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: in the passing down scenarios like it was great a

623
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago Joe Mixon and four targets in

624
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: the first half and then didn't have any other the

625
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: rest of the game, in the game that they were trailing.

626
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: So it's just Geo Bernard isn't Fantasy relevant, but he does.

627
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: He is in the sense in the way that he

628
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: hurts Joe Mixon, and this is a good matchup in

629
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: a game that you hope that the Bengals could be

630
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: playing with the lead. But if he can't get it

631
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: done again this week, I think he really needs to

632
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: start to look at at Joe Mixon as more of

633
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: an RB two, especially Marcus the goal on struggles that

634
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: he has had this year, Like, I feel like every

635
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: time they get near the goal on, they give it

636
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: to Mixon and he just gets stuffed. The thing that

637
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: worries me the most about Joe Mixon, or is frustrating

638
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: I guess I should say about Joe Mixon, is the

639
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 1: usage rates. The number of touches he's getting makes it

640
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: hard to just give up on him. Right, You're not

641
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna put him out on the waiver wire, but his

642
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: production means it's hard to start him consistently and expect

643
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: good things. I mean, you're right, he's maybe an r

644
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: B two, maybe he's a flex because the production doesn't

645
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: warrant him being in RB one. Also, though you can't

646
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: really trade him because nobody's gonna look at what he's

647
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: done this year and say, I gotta get that guy

648
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: on my team, you really are sitting there with him

649
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: as kind of an anchor right now on your roster,

650
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: and there aren't a lot of easy answers about what

651
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: to do about Joe Mixon. You just hope that things

652
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: turn around this week against the Jaguars. Maybe it's a

653
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: situation similar to last year, because remember last year, at

654
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: the start of the year, Joe Mixon was not great

655
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: and we were sort of having these same conversations after

656
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: the first month or so of the season, and then

657
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: in the back half of the year things got better.

658
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: In the last you know, seven or eight games, Joe

659
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Mixon really picked things up and started talking about the

660
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: RB one and I think that is a lot of

661
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: what fed into the belief that he could have a

662
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: big season this year. So far, through three weeks, it

663
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. So through three weeks, Ryan Fitzpatrick has kind

664
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: of been a thing. I mean, last week we talked

665
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: about whether or not fits his game against the Jaguars

666
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: was delaying the arrival of two A tang of Baloa.

667
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: We know that that fitz magic is gonna start this

668
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: week against the Seahawks. So if you have say Ryan

669
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: Tannehill or you have been Roflieburger and we know they're

670
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: not playing this week, is it crazy to consider streaming

671
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: fits against that Seahawks defense. No, I don't think it

672
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: is at all. In fact, I actually had Fitzpatrick ranked

673
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: ahead of both of those quarterbacks before we knew that

674
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: they weren't going to be playing this week. I have

675
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is my QB twelve this week. I mean,

676
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: what could possibly go wrong with that? But I do

677
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: think he is very much so in play this week.

678
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Like he scored twenty four or more Fantasy points the

679
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and there's no team allowing anything close

680
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: to what the Seahawks are allowing right now through the air.

681
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: They're allowing over four hundred passing yards per game on average.

682
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are just going off against them. Every quarterback that's

683
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: played them has scored at least twenty three Fantasy points

684
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: and finished as a QB one. They're the only team

685
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: in the league this year to allow a QB one

686
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: each of the first three weeks. So I just I

687
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: think right now, like quarterback, I know you didn't expect

688
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: to be using Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week four, but I

689
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: think there is a lot of reason to get excited

690
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: for him in this game. I completely agree. This is

691
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: one of those situations right where you look at what's

692
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: happened the first three weeks, you you look at the

693
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: way the Seahawks defense has played, and your brain makes

694
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: the point to you that it does make sense to

695
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: play Ryan Fitzpatrick. But your statement of what could go

696
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: wrong sort of speaks to I think how we all

697
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: feel in our hearts and in our guts. Uh it is.

698
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: It is akin to me last week tweeting about Minshew

699
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: and all the Minshew hype and how things are gonna

700
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: go sideways, right, and then they did on tn F

701
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: And I think, in deep down and all of our souls,

702
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: while we know that statistically and analytically, it makes sense

703
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: to stream Ryan Fitzpatrick that you know, this could easily

704
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: be the game that he blows up and throws like

705
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: five picks and just completely goes. Uh. You know, fitz

706
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: Magic is the good guy we don't need. We don't

707
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: have an evil twin version nickname of him. We need

708
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: to come up with one. But that guy potentially could

709
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: show up this week. Anyway. That's a long way with

710
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: me saying you probably stream Ryan Fitzpatrick this week against

711
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks because the matchup is great, and especially if

712
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: you're missing a quarterback or you're struggling at the quarterback position,

713
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: you could do worse in terms of a streaming option.

714
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know, if if something goes halfway wrong, you know,

715
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: we'll all look back and we'll kind of say, yeah,

716
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: this was certainly in the range of outcomes, but uh, hey,

717
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: at least at least you have a logical reason for

718
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: why you did what you did. And to me, if

719
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: you can tell yourself in good faith a story for

720
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: why you made a move, then it was the right

721
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: move in your heart. And then on the field things

722
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. And at that point it's just

723
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: out in your hands. Speaking of out of our hands.

724
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: The Cowboys wide receivers have been sort of an interesting

725
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: roulette wheel this season. We've had a Marie Cooper games.

726
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: See Lamb has played pretty well throughout the season. Last

727
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: week it was a combination of Cedric Wilson and Michael Gallup.

728
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: So this week the Cowboys have the Cleveland Browns. When

729
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: we spend the wheel of Cowboys receivers, where does it

730
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: land for you? I'm gonna say this with almost zero confidence.

731
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: I think this week is a good week for mari Cooper,

732
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: like I have him ranked high. The Browns. The weakness

733
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: for them has been through the passing game, and they

734
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: allowed the six most fantasy points per game to water

735
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: receivers this year. And it just feels like out of

736
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: While the wheel does spend every week between these Cowboys

737
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: water receivers, it does feel like a Mari Cooper each

738
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: week is still getting the targets and it's still seeing

739
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: uh could the most consistent volume of that bunch after him. Though,

740
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a Ceedee Lamb week. The Browns weakness

741
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: has been through the slot, and and we know that

742
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: that was what the Seahawks weakness has been too. It

743
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: didn't really work out for Land last week. He still

744
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: did show his safe floor with eleven Fantasy points, but

745
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't expect Cedric Wilson to steal those two long

746
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: touchdowns again, at least I'm hopeful, So I think it's

747
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: a Cooper and Lamb week this week. I feel like

748
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: the Cedric Wilson thing, it was a nice flash that

749
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: no one saw coming, but I don't think get sustainable

750
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: simply because he's just not on the field that much.

751
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: He's not running that many routes, so just the opportunity

752
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: is less for Wilson. I'm with you and the fact

753
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: that I think this is a Ceedee Lamb week, mostly

754
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: because the Browns have struggled so much against slot receivers.

755
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: That is where Lamb is pretty much doing most of

756
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: his work. I think it's something like eight seven percent

757
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: of snaps and about three quarters of his targets have

758
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: come from the slot this year. So I think that

759
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: that is going to be where he continues to operate

760
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: and where his opportunities are going to be. So he's

761
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: the guy that I think is gonna happen. I also

762
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: just have this feeling that they're gonna try to get

763
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: him in the end zone this week. Right we're we're

764
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: in the week four. Ceedee Lamb has not scored his

765
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: first NFL touchdown, so I just have this feeling that

766
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: maybe they really concentrate on trying to get Ceedee Lamb

767
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: his first NFL touchdown to sort of break the seal

768
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: there and really get him on the board. So that's

769
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: why I'm going with Lamb. But I do feel like

770
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: if you have any one of those three main receivers,

771
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Cooper, Lamb, or Gallop, I think you're in

772
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: a good place to start them this week against the Browns.

773
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: Take that there you go, so take that for what

774
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: you will. You know, we will see what happens when

775
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: it comes to game time on Sunday, But I think

776
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: you're in a good position to start any one of

777
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: those guys. It's side for best value presented by Draft Kings.

778
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: We go through a lineup and try to figure out

779
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: the guys who could give you the most bank for

780
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: your DFS buck. In Week four, starting to the quarterback position,

781
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: we talked about Ryan Fitzpatrick as a streaming option, and

782
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: so it makes plenty of sense flooriother that is where

783
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: you decided to go this week. Yeah, and only dred.

784
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good value. Like we were

785
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: talking about earlier, the Seahawks allow the second most fantasy

786
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: points the quarterbacks, the most passing yards per game to

787
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: the position, and Ryan Fitzpatrick can potentially pick up some

788
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: points with his legs. We still scored a rushing touchdown

789
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: last week. I think this is a game where he's

790
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw a lot if they're chasing points

791
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with Russell Wilson in that offense.

792
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: So I think he has a sky high upside this week,

793
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: and I like him a lot as a value. I'm

794
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with Matthew Stafford this week, and I think

795
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: it's because, like the Lions, haven't really figured out how

796
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: to run the football effectively. I know Adrian Peterson has

797
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: been I think better than anticipated, but I still don't

798
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: think they can survive on feeding him to football and

799
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: letting him do his day. That this is not you know,

800
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: it's not two thousand and ten, two thousand eleven where

801
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: he was that dude. The Saints also really struggled against

802
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I mean, they got carved up by the

803
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: Raiders on Monday night, not that long ago. So I

804
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: think Matthew Stafford has a chance to go out there,

805
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: spread the ball around, whether it's Holiday Jones, uh t

806
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: J Hawkinson, and maybe do some things this week at

807
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: running back. We seem to have settled on a Rams

808
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: running back at least for the short term, right I

809
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: think so. Like Darryl Henderson has gone out and put

810
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: up a hundred and twenty yards and a touchdown in

811
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: the last two games, nineteen fantasy points and more in

812
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: both of them, and his price is still only fifty

813
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred. I feel like if this was Cam Akers

814
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: having this kind of success, we'd be talking about him

815
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: a lot more because that's who everyone was excited about

816
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: coming into the year. But Henderson is getting the job done.

817
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, the Rams are running the ball

818
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: more than any team in the NFL right now this year,

819
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: and they're playing the Giants, who I mean, let's just

820
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: face it, they're having a rough go right now. This

821
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: could be a game that the Rams are playing with

822
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: the multiple score lead throughout, which means we could see

823
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of Henderson running the ball in that second half.

824
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: So I think he has a really really high ceiling

825
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: this week. It's funny because this is the Darryl Henderson

826
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: that everyone was predicting last year. He was the reason

827
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: that Todd Gurley was getting bucked down draft boards and

828
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: everybody was sort of talking up Darryl Henderson and it

829
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: didn't happen. And so it's like, it's almost because we

830
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: didn't happened last year, so everybody's like, well, that's it,

831
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: it's done. You had one chance and it's over and

832
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: we've moved on to cam Akers. But Darrell Henderson is

833
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: is flashing pretty well right now. Uh So I talked

834
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: about Kenyan Drake, and I'm gonna put my fake money

835
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: where my mouth is and say that this is the

836
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: week that Kenyan Drake gets it going against the against

837
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. I do feel like, you know, his

838
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: his Draft King salary, the six thousand. I feel like

839
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: it kind of got bumped down because we haven't seen

840
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: much from Kenyan Drake so far this season. So maybe

841
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: that works to your benefit. If you're putting together a

842
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: line up, you're gonna get a guy that potentially gets

843
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: a lot of touches against a bad run defense, and

844
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it allows you to fit some other, maybe more higher

845
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: salary guys elsewhere in your lineup. Again, if it doesn't

846
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: happen for Kenyan Drake this week, then I think we

847
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: start to press the panic button. But this is an

848
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: opportunity maybe to take advantage of a guy at sort

849
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: of a depressed salary. Over to wide receiver. You we

850
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: talked about you going with Ryan Fitzpatrick, So you you're

851
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 1: going with the stat here to try to bubble up Huh. Yeah.

852
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: I think I would definitely be trying to get Ryan

853
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick number one wide receiver DeVante Parker in my lineup

854
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: if I'm using Ryan Fitzpatrick this week. I keep talking

855
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: about how the Seahawks have just been carved up through

856
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: the air this year. They're allowing over seventy eight fantasy

857
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: points per game to the wide receiver position this year.

858
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: No other team is even allowing fifty. So it just

859
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: shows you how great of a matchup Seattle has been

860
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: this year for wide receivers. Parker continues to be the

861
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: top past catching option for for Fitzpatrick and this Dolphins defense.

862
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: And if you had concerns about his hamstring, I think

863
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: it is helpful that they played last week on Thursday,

864
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: so he gets, you know, an extra three days to recover. Yeah,

865
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: I think I think I like Parker this week. I

866
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: like the Preston Williams is a deep sleeper. I think

867
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: in one line up I put together, I even went

868
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: with the double stack of Fitzpatrick with Parker and Mike

869
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Gasicki just because man, the Seahawks secondary and it is

870
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: no longer the legion of Boom. It's more a little

871
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: much more like the legion of whom. So I think

872
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: it's a chance for you to sort of kind of

873
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: play on that a little bit for what should be

874
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: a relatively decent salary and my wide receiver spot, I'm

875
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: going with a ceiling play here, and that's Brandon Cooks.

876
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: I know it's been hard to sort of peg the

877
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: Texans wide receivers through the first couple of weeks. Will

878
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: Fuller had that big game in the opener against Kansas City.

879
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: Since then, it has been sort of hard to pinpoint.

880
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: But we know Brandon Cookes is a I that will

881
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: give you a potentially high ceiling on any given week.

882
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: I know he's been sort of battling through that quad issue,

883
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: but he has been able to get out on the

884
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: field and play. The Vikings secondary has been very vulnerable

885
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: through the first three weeks of the season. We have

886
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: seen teams really have some big games against them through

887
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: the air. So I'm gonna take the chance, especially with

888
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: the the salary that Cooks is drawing this week, to

889
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 1: to get him in the lineup and see if maybe

890
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: I can pad in some other places over the tight ends.

891
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: I keep saying it, the Jimmy Graham jokes are done.

892
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: Like at this point we gotta start to buy in,

893
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: and I'm surprised that the draft Kings salary has not

894
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: yet caught up for him. Yeah after week one, Marcus,

895
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: remember we both said he was a mirage and looking

896
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: very real right now. He leads this team in in

897
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: red zone targets. He has three touchdowns through the first

898
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: three weeks already, and last week when Nick Foles came in,

899
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: he threw to Jimmy Graham more than anyone seven times.

900
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: So I know, on paper, the Colts matchup looks tough

901
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: against tight ends. They're allowing the second fewest points to

902
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: the position, but they have played a Jets and Giants

903
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: defense who I mean offense who aren't really the best

904
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: right now. So I do think that the match up

905
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more friendly than it looks like

906
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: on paper. And there's just opportunity there right now with

907
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Yeah, like the the targets have to go somewhere.

908
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: And the best part is when Nick Foles came in,

909
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: the target share didn't diminish. In fact, it might have

910
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: even gone up with Nick Foles versus Mitch Drabinsky. I'm

911
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna go Dalton Schultz as my value tied into this week,

912
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: and we talked about the Cowboys wide receivers. The you

913
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: can't cover all of them, right The Browns have to

914
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: figure out where they're going to focus their attention, whether

915
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: it is going to be on Cooper or Lamb or

916
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: Gallup or what have you. So that means that there

917
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: could be some things open for Dalton Schultz on top

918
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: of it. Tight ends so far this season have eaten

919
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: the Browns alive. I mean, like I know some of it.

920
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we talked about, you know,

921
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals and having to sort of like fill in

922
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: after cj Usama went down. Some of that was sort

923
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: of game script related. But uh, Dalton Schultza shown that

924
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: he's a part of the game plan there in Dallas

925
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: and he could have some opportunities against the Browns this week. Finally, defensively, yeah,

926
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: I felt like Florida, there just weren't a lot of

927
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: great matchups in terms of values or whatever. Defensively, seems

928
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: like we're just sort of trying to make the best

929
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: of what we have out in front of us. This week. Yeah,

930
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: I went with the Rams, who I believe are the

931
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: second most expensive defense on DraftKings this week. But I

932
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: think they're a good value. The the Giants. We they're

933
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: coming into the week, we're second fewest points per games

934
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: scored this year and just about thirteen per game, and

935
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: then they're in the top three and giveaways per game

936
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: right now. Plus I experienced firsthand as a Bills fan,

937
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: the wrath of Aaron Good luck stopping that guy. I

938
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: think the Rams defense could put up a lot of

939
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: points this week. I agree with that as well. I'm

940
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: gonna go with the forty Niners. And again, it's a

941
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: defense that you're probably gonna have to pay up for

942
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. And maybe this brew isn't quite as

943
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: fearsome as they would be if they were completely healthy,

944
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: but this is still a pretty good defense as we

945
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 1: have seen, and we talked earlier about the Eagles still

946
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: trying to find themselves offensively, still dealing with a ton

947
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: of injuries, not having a whole lot of depth at

948
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So I'm willing to take the shot on

949
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, especially when you factor in that Carson

950
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: Wentz has thrown two interceptions in each game he has

951
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: played this season. The offensive line is struggling to protect him.

952
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm willing to sort of spend a little bit more

953
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: here defensively and get a defense I think can can

954
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: put together some play. So there you go. One person's

Speaker 1: we pick out the three best players we can find

Speaker 1: in there, and we talked about what we expect from

964
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: him in week four. So here we go digging through

965
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: this week and our first one it is Aaron Rodgers. Now,

966
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you that a couple of days ago,

967
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers against the Atlanta Falcons, it just seemed like

968
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: it was going to be unfair. But here we are

969
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: on Friday. Alan Lazard, we know't is out indefinitely after

970
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: having core muscle surgery. Davontae Adams is still dealing with

971
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: a hamstring. We're waiting for further word on him. So,

972
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we feeling about Aaron Rodgers now?

973
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Knowing that he's gonna go in this potentially down a

974
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 1: couple of weapons. I still have him as my QB

975
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: eight this week for me the quarterback position that the

976
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: top six guys who could put them in the order

977
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: you want. But they are there, and then I had

978
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson ahead of him because I still think Watson,

979
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, his upside is as high as it comes.

980
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: But Rogers kudos Aaron Rank. He's been I faded Rogers

981
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: heading into the year, and Rank has been calling the

982
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers revenge towards since before where he got started.

983
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: But that's what this season looks like like. Rodgers has

984
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. This

985
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: is a fantastic matchup against the Falcon secondary that has

986
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: allowed the second most passing yards to quarterbacks this year.

987
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: So I think Rogers, Yeah, it stinks that he may

988
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: be without his two top weapons, hopefully Davante Adams place,

989
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: but I still think you get him in your line.

990
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: The Aaron Petty party, as I've been calling it, has

991
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: been pretty solid this year. Both Aaron's right, I mean,

992
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers obviously going out and doing big things after

993
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: people sort of faded him this year, but even Aaron Jones,

994
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there was so much chatter about the Packers

995
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: going out and drafting A J. Dillon and all of

996
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: us saying there's no way Aaron Jones can duplicate what

997
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: he did last year with the nineteen touchdowns UH, and

998
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: both those guys have gone out and smashed through the

999
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: first three weeks, so maybe, look, we we need this

1000
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: is this is where we get the Michael Jordan's last

1001
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: Dance meme of UH and then I took it personally

1002
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: like that. I feel like applies to both Aaron Rodgers

1003
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: and Aaron Jones this year because they seem to have

1004
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: taken it personally and fantasy managers are reaping the rewards

1005
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: of that. Speaking of running backs, are next one up

1006
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs? Who that's that sort of an up and

1007
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: down fantasy season to start the year. This week a

1008
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills. What is your level

1009
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: of confidence for Jacobs against your beloved Bills. I have

1010
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 1: Jacobs a little bit lower than normal because the matchup

1011
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: isn't the best and also we saw him last week

1012
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: plagued a little bit by that injury. It hurt his numbers,

1013
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: But I still have him as a top twelve running

1014
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: back because the Raiders right now they're receiving depth is

1015
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: really being tested, and we know the strength of the

1016
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: Bills defense is that secondary. So I think that at

1017
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: least early on the Raiders are really going to be

1018
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: trying to feed Josh Jacobs the ball a lot, and

1019
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: we know the potentially he has seen that many touches.

1020
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: He could break one long. He's always a threat to

1021
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: find the end zone. So I still have him as

1022
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: a top twelve running back this week. My fear is

1023
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: that game script in the second half maybe turns again him.

1024
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: And I say that based on how the Bills have

1025
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: been scoring points, the fact that they are spreading the field,

1026
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: they're throwing the football so much, and they're really being

1027
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: aggressive early in games. The Raiders secondary can have issues

1028
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: sometimes if they start giving up big plays, if they

1029
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: start giving up a lot of points, do they go

1030
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: away from Jacobs and do we see more of the

1031
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: passing game? But early on I do agree that they

1032
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: may try to establish the run and so hopefully he

1033
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: can get something going early, stay in the game and

1034
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: get his production there and if the Raiders can keep

1035
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: it close, and I do feel okay about Josh Jacobs

1036
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: over the course of four quarters. All right. Our third

1037
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: one is by Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans, and we talked

1038
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: about Evans a little bit earlier in the show. Chris

1039
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: Godwin has been ruled out, lettered four net has been

1040
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: ruled out. We're hoping that we get a little bit

1041
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: more than a Jordan Howard ish type performance. And you

1042
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: know it Adam break and I coined the term seven

1043
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: point one that you know you had Hayden Hurst last

1044
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: week who got you one catch for one yard and

1045
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: one touchdown in PPR leagues, that's seven point one points.

1046
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: My Evans was kind of a seven point one guy

1047
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: two times over last week. Uh, He's going to be

1048
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: more than that this week, right, I would hope. So,

1049
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: Like it's been kind of annoying as someone who's been

1050
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: very was very vocal in the draft season, like fading

1051
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: Mike Evans because a lot of what I was worried about,

1052
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: like them not like Brady not being a down the

1053
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: field type thrower anymore, and and Evans kind of not

1054
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: seeing the type of volume that he had, especially air

1055
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: yards with Jamis Winston. That's will come to fruition. But

1056
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: these one yard touchdowns have kept him Fantasy relevant. I'm

1057
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: expecting more this week. I typically have had him in

1058
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: that like wide receiver tent through fifteen range each week,

1059
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: but this week he is a wide receiver one for me,

1060
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: but no Chris Godwin. I'm sort of with you on that.

1061
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: My fear about Mike Evans was that he would get targets, sure,

1062
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: and he would get some catches, but that it wouldn't

1063
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of downfield throws. I also felt like

1064
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to be kind of a red zone

1065
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: goal line target. It's sort of been somewhere in between.

1066
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: He's getting catches, he's not getting a lot of downfield throws,

1067
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: but the throws he's getting seem to be near the

1068
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: goal line. So I don't really know what to make

1069
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: of it. It's good for fantasy, I don't know if

1070
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: it's actually good, but here we are. So I think

1071
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 1: this week with with no Chris Godwin, that it does

1072
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: mean some better things from Mike Evans. Maybe he has

1073
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: a more complete game and he looks like the Mike

1074
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: Evans we have come to know over the first few

1075
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: years of his career. Inspired by ongoing conversations with players,

1076

1082
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: and heading into Week four, we pose the question to

1083
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: our own Matt Okada about some of the best fantasy

1084
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: performances put together by Ricky wide receivers. Take a look,

1085
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Marcus. Here are the top five fantasy seasons by

1086
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: a rick Key wide receiver in the Super Bowl era.

1087
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: Sailing into the number five slot, we have Buccaneers first

1088
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: round pick Mike Evans. Evans had twelve touchdowns in his

1089
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: debut year, along with the first of six straight thousand

1090
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: yards seasons, a streak that is still active in route

1091
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: to two hundred forty five point one Fantasy points. Marching

1092
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: into the number four spot is Saints phenom and last

1093
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: year's wide receiver one, Michael Thomas. Thomas had two hundred

1094
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: and fifty five point seven Fantasy points thanks primarily to

1095
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: his ninety two catches and early sign of a record

1096
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: breaking future. Flying up to number three on our list

1097
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: is an Kuan Bolden of the Arizona Cardinals. Bolden set

1098
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: and still homes the NFL record for receptions by a

1099
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: rookie with one on one and in PPR that was

1100
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: good for two hundred eighty two points seven Fantasy points,

1101
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: towering above all but one player. Our number two receiver

1102
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: was a giant among giants. Odell Beckham Jr. O b

1103
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: J crested hundred yards and scored twelve tds to finish

1104
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: with two hundred Fantasy points as a rookie, and he

1105
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: did it in only twelve games. But our number one

1106
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: player conquered all these names and more, just like he

1107
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: conquered opposing DBS Hall of Famer Randy Moss scored a

1108
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: rookie record seven team receiving touchdowns for the Vikings to

1109
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: finish with three four points seven Fantasy points and the

1110
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: top spot on our list. That's it for this week's

1111
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: dose of Ask a Nerd. I'm at o'konna and made

1112
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: the fantasy points be with you. Appreciate it as always, Matt.

1113
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, I go back to that Randy Moss rookie

1114
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: year and we talk about players that get passed over

1115
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: and the fact that so many teams passed over Randy

1116
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: Moss is still mind blowing to uh to see the

1117
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: career he had to see the rookie season. You have

1118
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: with the career in general is just mind blowing. It

1119
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: is one of those things that I think will always

1120
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: live in NFL draft history. But hey worked out for

1121
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings for a while, so we'll see. Uh. Speaking

1122
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: a little of rookie wide receivers and what we have

1123
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: seen from the first year pass catchers so far through

1124
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: three weeks, What changes, if any, have you made in

1125
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: terms of your rookie wide receiver rankings. It's really hard

1126
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: to trust a lot of them right now. Like I

1127
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: would trust Ceedee Lamb. Still each week it's looking like

1128
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: you could trust Jerry Judy. I'm boosting up justin Jefferson

1129
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: and Tee Higgins. I was targeting them heavy off the

1130
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: waiver wire this week, but there they still haven't reached

1131
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: that range of like, all right, I gotta get these

1132
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: guys in my lineup each week. I think it's more

1133
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: right now a week by week kind of based on

1134
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: the matchup. Jerry Judy, though, is one that I'm excited about.

1135
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: We see him on the screen right now. He's looking

1136
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: like he's going to be the Broncos number one target

1137
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: this year. So with Courtland Sutton now, so I'm excited

1138
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: about him. I think he's kind of been a big

1139
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: riser these first couple of weeks. I I before the

1140
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: season was big on Justin Jefferson just because I felt

1141
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: like he was the guy sort of any best situation.

1142
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: And you know, after his big game last week, he

1143
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: is the I think the leading score among rookie wide receivers.

1144
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: I should check that because it might it might be

1145
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy after you know, his his touchdown last night,

1146
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: but Jefferson is certainly in the running for that. It

1147
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: does change, though, because with no Courtland Sutton there in Denver,

1148
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: that means a lot more responsibility falls on Judy's shoulders,

1149
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: so maybe he steps up a little bit. I think

1150
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: the highest steeling overall probably still belongs to Seedee Lamb,

1151
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: but he's in a crowded situation, we know, having to

1152
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: share with Cooper, having to share with Gallup, so that

1153
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,959
Speaker 1: sort of sort of cap says a little bit. I'm

1154
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: very interested to see what happens with Brandon Ayouk now

1155
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: that he's healthy and on the field, because I loved

1156
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: what Kyle Shanahan did with him last week. He got

1157
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: him seventy yards receiving, but also used him as a

1158
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: runner three times. I mean he scored his touchdown sort

1159
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: of on an indo round jet sweep sort of play

1160
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: on a nineteen yard run. It is very apparent that

1161
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan has a plan for him. I think there's

1162
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: a reason the Niners traded up to go get Brandon Aiyuk,

1163
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: surprising a lot of people. So I don't know that

1164
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,959
Speaker 1: he necessarily is going to be the guy long term

1165
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: who has the best ceiling or maybe has even the

1166
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: highest ceiling. But I think he's gonna be an interesting piece.

1167
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: And I do think that folks are still sort of

1168
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: sleeping on Brandon a uk uh and and not not

1169
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: going to get him just yet. I think that's gonna

1170
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: change coming up in the next couple of weeks, so

1171
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. We always love to

1172
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: see the first year guys show out. We certainly saw

1173
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: it in week three. Looking forward to see more of

1174
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: it as the season goes along, and I meantime, that

1175
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging out

1176
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: with the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by Draft Kings.

1177
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,759

1178
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: friends rate review and remember clothes make demand. Naked people

1179
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: have little or no influence in society. Be safe, take
