1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome to the Daily NFL Fantasy Live podcast,

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: all the information you need for total domination. In Week

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: twelve in fantasy football, Jason Smith, alongside Michael Fabiano, Adam Rank,

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant got a full recap of Thursday Night Football.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Fab even Jimmy Graham's dunk over the goalpost. You know

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: I can do that. I can really do the really

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: five foot high goal post. Maybe I used to always

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: like it because you know, you and I about the

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: same height. When they would go, like basketball, taller than

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: you are, they would lower the rims to like six ft,

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: so little guys can dunk. I can. It was awesome.

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: There should be more. They should do that in real leagues.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: They're not taller than me. I am taller than you. Seriously,

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: we did back to back. I'm taller than you are.

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Stop it. Oh my goodness. We got all our big matchups.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: Are gonna preview New England and Denver, Dallas and the Giants, Oakland, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay Fabs, the Dallas Cowboys

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: canna give up another seven hundred yards of offense this week?

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: I will be smiling all the way to the fantasy bank.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: If I have Andre Brown and my fantasy roster and

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I doing a bunch of teams. The Cowboys gave up

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: sixty three fantasy points the last time they played a

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: football game to running backs. That's a lot. Adam Rank

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: has his like dislikes. We have our big spots, starts

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: of the week, all our injury updates, and weather looks

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a factor in a couple

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: of games. Peyton Manning and cold weather going to be

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty five degrees Sunday at Gillette. Welcome to the winter

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: wonderland of the Northeast. Now, who do you like to

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: if if weather's there? Kickers? Who do you have are

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: most nervous about wind? I'm worried about kickers and quarterbacks,

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: and if it's wet, I'm worried about the quarterbacks and

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: the kickers as well. But you probably have to stick

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: with your studs this week one of those ways. The

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks it's been that way. It's a

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: boy I don't like. If I bench a guy like

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady because the weather is colder, Peyton Manning and

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: they have three touchdown passes, then I gotta blame that

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: on me, all right, very good. You want to be

40
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: able to blame other people. That's one of the big

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: lessons we have for fantasy. We see that a lot

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Don't take any blame yourself, Blame us, that's

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: what that's what we're here for. If you don't win,

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: at least someone you can point the finger out and say, well,

45
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't my fault. Fantasy Live podcast begins now. Remember

Speaker 1: our shows Twitter handle at NFL Fantasy. But let's get

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: right to the Thursday night matchup between the Atlanta Falcons

50
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: and the Saints. This looked like there was gonna be

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Fantasy points in this one, at least

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: very early. Matt Ryan Drew Brees first quarter, Falcons opening

53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: possession after a touchdown pass was ruled down at the

54
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: one yard line. It's Steven Jackson in the end zone.

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson scored a touchdown. There is proof fucking Stone

56
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: League right there at thirty nine. Bettert late to never

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I guess seven unless you didn't play him seven nothing

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Falcons ensuing Saints possession. Is Breeze looking for Benjamin Watson

59
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: started Ben Watson, didn't you? Yes? And if Ben Watson

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: only league I started Ben Watson. Game is tied at seven.

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Second quarter, Saints driving. Here's Drew Brees fakes the handoff,

62
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: the revenge of Jimmy Graham. The down out and up

63
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: forty four yards for a score, and then he treats

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the goal post rather rudely. One word to describe Jimmy

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Graham beast and here he goes. The touchdown was great,

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: This was even better. Look at this. Yeah, you know

67
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: I can do this, Jason. Actually the gold Coast has

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: to be a little lower, a little bit like five

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: ft something that you do it are very good. Saints

70
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: fourteen thirty half, fourth quarter, Falcons inside the st Ryan

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: hits wide receiver Darius Johnson on the screen, but Johnson fumbles.

72
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: Saints recover. Rob Ryan extremely pumped up about this turn

73
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: of developments. Yes, I love you, you're my mood. Three

74
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: minutes ago, Falcons trailed by four. Lineup from the fifty

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: two yarder, Matt Brian misses, falls away left. Falcons need

76
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: to stop on the next Saints possession. And it's Pierre

77
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Thomas who had a phenomenal game, picks up the first

78
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: down in a sixteen yard run. Ver. We were very

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: high on Pierre Thomas yesterday on the show, and he

80
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: had a very big game. Saints winnify the final of

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: seventeen thirteen breeze to seventy eight and a couple of touchdowns.

82
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Looked like it was going to be even a bigger

83
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: knight form could have been a thirty point Knight, but

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: all his Fantasy points before halftime. Drew Brees is so

85
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: good that you get eighteen points for him and you're like,

86
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: man that god. Saints defense gave you a nice night

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: as well with eleven fantasy points. But Jimmy Graham fabs.

88
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: He had been absent really from the production column in

89
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Now Jimmy Graham's back and

90
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: there's no worries about the foot anymore. He is playing

91
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: his full lotment of snaps at least very close to it.

92
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: And this guy is just a beast. He is an

93
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: absolute man child. This kid has been the best tight

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: end in fantasy football over the last couple of seasons.

95
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: And you know what, Drew Brees throwing him the football

96
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt, and I'm sure he'll be in the NBA

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Slam Dunk Contest. He could be. I'm telling you I

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: could do that. I could don't go by the goal post.

99
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Give me a letter, all right now. Pierre Thomas, we

100
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: talked about him, we recommended him. You knew going into

101
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: the game last night with Darren Sprawls out, this is

102
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: gonna be a pr Thomas Knight. And this was probably

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: his best all around game we've seen. He is such

104
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: a versatile performer. It really reminded me of back to

105
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: a few years ago when he was such a big

106
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: fantasy sleeper, a great pick up off the waiver wire.

107
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Here Thomas is back back in the passing game, back

108
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: in the running game. He was huge last night. Every

109
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: time they needed something, they gave it to Pierre Thomas.

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Now let's take a look at the Falcons and how

111
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: they did on Thursday night. It wasn't an awful night.

112
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: And if he had Steven Jackson, if you were able

113
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: to play him, you've got nearly four teen fantasy points.

114
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was just okay. Harry Douglas gave you nearly

115
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: eight points. But all the way down there, Roddy White

116
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: two point four. Is he even worth a roster spot

117
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: at this point? Now he's not unless you're in a

118
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: deeper league and we were hoping Roddy White would come back.

119
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: He saved him up on your waiver wire, on your

120
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: roster and hope that something happens. Things have not turned

121
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: for the better for Roddy White. It's twelve weeks in. Yeah,

122
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: Adam Rank ahead of the curve, waived him a couple

123
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. But now Stephen Jackson, if he held

124
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: on to him, is he okay to get back in

125
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: your lineup? Still at risk? A word play in my

126
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: opinion that Saints had come into this game and they

127
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: hadn't been good against the run. Stephen Jackson made the

128
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: most of it, had a good game, his best game,

129
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: one of the best games he's had all season for Atlanta.

130
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not ready to pick him up and be

131
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: an RB two at this point. To me, he's still

132
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: a flex. All right, There you go. That's our TNF

133
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: breakdown down time for all the big fantasy headlines. Let's

134
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: send it over to Rank and Marcus. Guys. Thank you,

135
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Jason the Fantasy Professor. Marcus Grant and I here at

136
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: your latest fantasy headlines for a Friday, and we will

137
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: start with that huge game. Denver wide receiver West Welcome

138
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: returned to the Broncos practice this week after suffering a

139
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: cushion versus the Chiefs in Week eleven. We know Welker

140
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: wants to play in this huge game against his former team.

141
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: Will have more unwelcome in this game later on in

142
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: the show, but Welkers status is certainly worth keeping an

143
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: eye on his kickoff approaches Sunday. Are you relieved? I

144
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: think you are relieved. I think a lot of Broncos

145
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: fans and fantasy owners were keeping a very close eye

146
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: on West Welker. Knowing that he returned to practice and

147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: he's looking better for that game on Sunday, I think

148
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: makes a lot of people feel better. They'll be a

149
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: little bit motivated, That's my guest. Absolutely. Detroit Lions wide

150
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: receiver Nate Burton has been out since Week three after

151
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: a single car accident where he suffered an arm injury,

152
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: saving two passengers seat wait for it, wait for it,

153
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: to passenger seat pizzas from a date with his vehicles Florida. Seriously,

154
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. The good news is he's

155
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: been cleared for contact and return to practice this week

156
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: and the Lions. And return to the Lions, he's likely

157
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: to start. How you look at the matchup Megatron will

158
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: be up against Rivas, Island is Nate Burleson a pretty

159
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: good play. I'm not going with a Burlson just yet.

160
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: And look I know that he's that Megatron's going up

161
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: against Darrell Rivas. I'm not worried about that because Megatron,

162
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter who's guarding him. He' got

163
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: three guys on a Megatron makes plays. I'm not worried

164
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: about him. Nate Burlson, I am worried about I'm staying

165
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: away from him. If you ever consider benching Megatron, you

166
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: don't deserve him, You really don't. That that should be

167
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: you should have to trade him away at that point. Alright,

168
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: More bad news for Cheesehead fans who have suffered significant injuries.

169
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: So they're starting quarterback, tight end and their number one receiver.

170
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of that number one receiver, Randall Cobb told

171
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Press Gazette it's not looking good for

172
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: his return this season, saying, quote, right now today, I

173
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: can't play I'm doing everything I can. I'm working my

174
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: butt off in the rehab process. This is something that

175
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: just needs time. It's getting better, there's still no timeline

176
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: and when I can come back. So, Marcus, is it

177
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: time to free up some roster space here? If you've

178
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: been hanging on to Randall cop I think it is

179
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: at this point because you're at a point in the

180
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: season when you're not really worried about depth. You're trying

181
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: to build the best possible roster. No point of hanging

182
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: on and waiting for a guy that you're not sure

183
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: when he's gonna come back. You go, You leave him

184
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: up to the waiver wire. You worry about somebody else

185
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: because it Randall company was great unfortunately at times past

186
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and time now to take a look the latest injury

187
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: information from around the league. On Friday, some big name

188
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: running backs. Although I'm a little offended, Darren McFadden is

189
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: up ahead of Adrian Peter, So that just doesn't seem right, Marcus, alphabetical, Yeah,

190
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: it must be Richardson, Ben Taid, Greg Jennings, Key Nicks,

191
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, Westwelker, Jordan Read guys. We are keeping an

192
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: eye on as the weekend approaches, but Trent Richardson was

193
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: limited at Colts practice with a calf injury and is

194
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: officially listed as questionable for Sunday, Which of anything makes

195
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: the decision the decision easy, not so easy for me

196
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: to say, but the decision to put on the bench

197
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: a little bit easier. Right. Is Donald Brown the guy

198
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: we should be going with? Well, I think he's the

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: guy you go with, you know, going forward. I don't

200
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: know about this week so much. It's a tougher match

201
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: up against the Arizona Cardinals. They're very who against the run,

202
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: but beyond that, if you're looking for a running back

203
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: in that Colts backfield, it's Brown over richards Yeah, it's

204
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: it's a tough matchup, but Donald Brown has played so

205
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: well when he's been getting the opportunities. It's tough to benjup.

206
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: Even though I know it's tough against the car I

207
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: would say the one thing that that mainly work in

208
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: your favorite for Donald Brown is because of the guys

209
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: on by. You have Marshawn Lynch who was out, You've

210
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: got you know, the Eagles who were on a buy.

211
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: So I think that certainly helps your decision. It's not

212
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: looking good for Oakland Raiders wide receiver Narraas More this weekend.

213
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: More is battling a shoulder injury and might not play

214
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: Sunday versus the Titans, with rookie quarterback mc mcbloyne getting

215
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: his second consecutive start on Sunday. Because do you take

216
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: a fire on Michael Rivera? I don't know that this

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 1: week is the week to do it. Michael Rivera is

218
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's a very deep sleeper. Maybe if you're

219
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: a big fan of Glee in your lineup the sisters

220
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: on the show exactly, But I don't know that you

221
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: you play him this week. I just think the match

222
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: up against the Titans is not in his favor. All right,

223
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Thanks Marcus. Now, be sure to set your DVRs and

Speaker 1: some matchups and see who we think are going to

255
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: win and who are some fantasy guys were keeping an

256
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: eye on fabu Let's kick things off, Bucks, Lions, who

257
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: wins and who are keeping an eye on. I'm going

258
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: with the Lions thirty three to twenty and what's going

259
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: to be a very high scoring game there in Detroit.

260
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: And I want to talk about Reggie Bush. Now, Reggie

261
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: Bush is a guy. If you look at his numbers

262
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, they haven't been that good.

263
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: He started declining there. Last week. We had the issue

264
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: with joyke Bell with Reggie Bush fumbling. Now Bushes come

265
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: out and said, I'm never gonna fumble again. We'll see

266
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: what happens. I still play him this week. But the

267
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are allowing an average of writer around fifteen Fasic

268
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: points per game and running backs. It's sort of right

269
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: in the middle. It's not a great matchup. It's not

270
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. Bush is still an RV two. I

271
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: think a high end RB two for this contest. If

272
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: we look at the other side of the ball and

273
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: talk about Bobby Granny, who is probably the hottest waiver

274
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: wire pick up in all of fantasy football this week.

275
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: Ranny had a big game last week, but this is

276
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: a much tougher matchup. The Lions are allowing right around

277
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: fifteen face points per games and running backs as well.

278
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: No rushing touchdowns allowed though in their last six games.

279
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: So Rainy to me is someone that number one you

280
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: try to sell high number two. Use him as a

281
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: flex All right, Let's move on to the Vikings and

282
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: the Packers the Christian Ponder versus Scott Tolziene Bowl Rank.

283
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: What do you think I like the Packers in this one?

284
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Might come as a little bit of a surprise season

285
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: with Scott Tolzine, but I looked for the Packers and

286
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: win this one pretty big thirty eight to ten over

287
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: those Minnesota Vikings. And the guy who I'm really paying

288
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: attention to is Jordy Nelson, a guy who has carried

289
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: one of my squads this season, and I still like

290
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: him going up there with the backup quarterback. As you

291
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: see right there, he's had a great history, recent history,

292
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: at least against the Minnesota Vikings. He's a number one

293
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I'm gonna go with him and every week

294
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: because you know, even if you're a backup quarterback, you've

295
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: got one guy you're gonna be looking at, you're gonna

296
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: be locking on in. It's gonna be Jordy Nelson. Now

297
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: on the other side of the football, of course, Greg

298
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Jennings will be returning home to lambeau Field. At least

299
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: he won't have to see Aaron Rodgers throwing thirteen passes

300
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: to Scott to Jordy Nelson. There. But the one guy

301
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I want to focus in on Cordarrell Patterson. He was

302
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: targeted a lot last week against the Seahawks. There's a

303
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: need to get to him. What do you think about him?

304
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: A lot of targets. That's somebody to keep an eye on,

305
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: not somebody to start, all right, and not Greg Jennings. No,

306
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: not Greg Jennings. If you get fantasy points for questioning

307
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: your coach of strategy, then play Greg Jennings. Huge day.

308
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: All right, very good. Let's take a look at the

309
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: Bears and the Rams. Right now, I'm going with the

310
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: Rams in this six team. Couple of guys I'm keeping

311
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: an eye on here. Number one is Tavon Austin. Look,

312
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: he had a huge week two weeks ago. He was phenomenal.

313
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: He's on a buy What do you do with him

314
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: this week? Tavon Austin is still a very big of

315
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: a munch of a risk reward type player. If he

316
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: were than six targets in five games, he's almost like

317
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: a little bit better than Kenny Stills were. Okay, maybe

318
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: you'll catch two or three pats. Is a game. You

319
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: gotta hope one of them is a touchdown. You can

320
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: play Tavon Austin, this is a pretty decent matchup, but

321
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: only play him as a flex. Don't play him any

322
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: higher than that. Josh McCown has been very good. Five touchdowns,

323
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: no picks in four games this season. But this is

324
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: a Rams defense that does it all. They're playing at home,

325
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: thinking after the quarterback, they intercept passes, they've taken back

326
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. You've got Tavon Austin returning punts. This is

327
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: where you sit Josh McCown and you play the Rams

328
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: defense on play him in our Experts League where I

329
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: need to win. Rams defense is a better play this

330
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: week than Josh McCown. Say, look now at the Steelers

331
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: and the Browns, Marcus, what do you like in this one?

332
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: I like the Steelers to win this one nineteen sixteen.

333
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: Not looking for a lot of points in this one.

334
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: But a guy I'm really keeping an eye on has

335
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: been Roethlisberger. I said earlier in the week, I think

336
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: Big Ben strikes midnight. He's been really good the last

337
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I don't see it this week. I

338
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: know everybody talks historically about how well he's played against

339
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, but the Browns have not given up

340
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a rush or a receiving touchdown and three of their

341
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: last four games at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Plus,

342
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: you have to worry a little bit about Antonio Brown

343
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: since he's likely going to be locked up on Joe

344
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Hayden and hasn't worked out well for a lot of

345
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: receivers this year. On the other side, Jordan Cameron's a

346
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: guy who has worried a lot of fantasy owners. I

347
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: know his BFF Adam Rank is a little bit down

348
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: on him right now. With the way things have gone,

349
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: but I think he picks it up this week. The

350
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Steelers secondary is gonna be very concerned about Josh Gordon

351
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: and Greg Little. That means there should be room to

352
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: operate in the middle of the field for Jordan Camera.

353
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: I think he kind of reviews himself a little bit

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: huge bounds back for him. There you go, you go.

355
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: I sent him a copy of adventure Land this week.

356
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Those movies. So now we're all good, all good, We're

357
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: all good, all right. Now. As far as Antonio Brogers,

358
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: we talk about how sometimes guys have bad matchups, but

359
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: you have to play your studs anyway. Antonio Brown, Joe Hayden,

360
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: what do you do? Certainly one of those guys. I

361
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: look a couple of weeks ago, Jordy Nelson was going

362
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: up against Joe Hayden. You know what, I went out,

363
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: I started Jordy Nelson. He rewarded me with a touchdown.

364
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: You know what, Sometimes it happens in fantasy football. You'll

365
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: take a risk. I mean, people were wondering, he should

366
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: I start Kenny Stills or should I start Antonio Brown?

367
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know what you want it you overthink

368
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: matchups like that. I'm gonna give Antonio the Brown the

369
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt here, all right, real quick, manual

370
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: sand does he become a better play because of what's

371
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: going on the other side? PPR guy, I think a

372
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: PPR three he will see more targets because I don't

373
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna go in Joe Hayden's direction a lot,

374
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: which is why I'm a little bit weird about Antonio Brown,

375
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: but savors a lot of the times. Guys, when have

376
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: we seen him in games? He doesn't produce as we

377
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: expect him to, so temper expectations. Al Right, here's our

378
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: picks for the games. We're in lockstep on the Lions

379
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: winning this one. But I'm the lone wolf in every

380
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: other game here, God, feel like I'm like Zach Galifanakis

381
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: and I'm all by myself. Contrary, don't you know what

382
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: he didn't He have a wolf pack, one wolf, one man,

383
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: and then he met his brothers who became a bigger

384
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: wolf pack in the wolf. Okay, so are we in

385
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: your wolf pack? Yes, you are in my one man

386
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: wolf peck really yes, well, excellent, What a tiger's dream

387
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: of and they take a little a dream of beating

388
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: steelers I don't know. You know what, that's a great

389
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: segue because we got our own lone wolf coming up

390
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: right here. That's our resident fantasy meteorologist from ABC four

391
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City to find out how the weather

392
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: is gonna affect some of the games we just discussed,

393
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: as well as a few others. Jim, let me start

394
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: off by just saying, oh, welcome the froda. Hey, it's

395
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: the weekend. Thanksgivings around the corner. Hey, wolves hang out

396
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: and packs. Jason and we got a pack of storms

397
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: to contend with one right about there that's gonna hook

398
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: up with this bad boy right here. You know what

399
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: that means? Cold air because in the wake of this,

400
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: Canada is invading the US of A and there's lake

401
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: effect with the frozen tundra, it just can't be good.

402
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Let's start you off with the bolts at the chefs here. Wow,

403
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: you know what the average high in San Diego is

404
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: this time of the year. Six And I never was

405
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: good at math, but that's a lot of degrees colder

406
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: right there. Wow, to say the least, And there's more

407
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: cold are. Matter of fact, lake effects snow got at

408
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: love Cleveland for that now factor in the wind, you'll

409
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: probably feel like it's in the single digits outside for

410
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: crying out loud, and a dome team is headed Finally, finally,

411
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: week after week we've been waiting for the frozen tundra.

412
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: It is back twenty one degrees at Lambou at kickoff. Wow.

413
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Well it's a lot warmer down the road for the

414
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: Fins and the Panthers. But there's wind and rain to

415
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: be had, and even up the road. Oh in East Rutherford,

416
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: a lot of cold air. Hey, Last, but not least, though,

417
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna have an update with Jason and the crew

418
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: on this matchup Sunday evening. I'll have more weather on

419
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: that coming up in just a little bit from now

420
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: as well. Gentlemen, all right, thanks Jim, stillman coming NFL

421
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy lot We continue to break down Sunday schedule in

422
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: search of our fantasy matchup of the week. Will it

423
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: be the Manning and Manning and Brady showdown in New

424
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: England or the Cowboys and Giants steel the Lone Wolf

425
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Spotlight in New Jersey? But next, the fantasy trade deadline

426
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: is hours away. We've got the names you should be

427
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: wheeling and daily for as a night's deadline approaches. Trade

428
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: deadline Friday night. We've asked you all week to submit

429
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: your fantasy trade questions, and with those in hand, we

430
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: chose our favorite to answer here on the show will

431
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: start with a quarterback trade query. Here we go, Do

432
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: I trade Stafford when I have Nick Foles? Hashtag fantasy trades?

433
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: What do you do? I think we get rid of

434
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: that Stafford. You look at the way it shakes up

435
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: for him in the playoffs. He finishes his last two

436
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: weeks in the playoffs with the Baltimore Ravens and the

437
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: New York Giants. That is not particularly friendly. Meanwhile, you

438
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: look at Nick Foles. He finishes with three really good

439
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: matchups against the Lions, the Vikings, and the Bears. It

440
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: looks a lot better for Nick Foles. I think you

441
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: make that move and you can back up Nick Foles

442
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. There's plenty of good quarterbacks each

443
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: and every year. Yeah, Glennon is likely out there for you.

444
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco has got a good matchup this week. There's

445
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: plenty of players out there, But at this point you're

446
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: riding with Nick Foles rank. I mean, this tells you

447
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: how unpredictable fantasy is and the guy doesn't turn the

448
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: ball over. That's the one thing that has to be

449
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: encouraging for everybody does very good with it, and he's

450
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: getting everybody involved. Riley Cooper has been more involved. De

451
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson hasn't seen his production go down. In fact,

452
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: it's just stayed level, So that's pretty good. He's getting

453
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: everybody involved playing well. Great option for you going for

454
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: a right seeking up some quarterbacks and trade four and

455
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: trade away. We've told you all weeks and players at

456
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: the big skill positions. Trade for Tom Brady, trade for

457
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Folds if you can, Rivers, Tony Romo, trade away Luck,

458
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: trade away Matt Ryan, trade away Russell Wilson. He's a

459
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: tough decisions guys, but you gotta make him because you

460
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: can't sit there with two quarterbacks on your roster. Good

461
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: luck trying to get rid of Matt Ryan. Now everybody's collaboring.

462
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: He had to trade and when he was hot and

463
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: going into last night, that was a night to do

464
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: it all right. Here's a running back trade question, lady

465
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: on bell for Larry Fitzgerald and Ryan Matthews. What are

466
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: you doing this deal? Who's doing one? These are three

467
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: guys on might get rid of board. As we've talked about,

468
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: you're the one who really brought this up, as Levy on.

469
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: Bell just doesn't look good as a running back. You

470
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: watch him, He's getting a lot of opportunities, but the

471
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: big thing is at the goal line. He's not getting

472
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: those chances. So if you can get rid of him, yes,

473
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: but I would probably look for somebody a little bit

474
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: better than Ryan Matthews, who admittingly is having a decent

475
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: year but now a great year, and Larry Fitzgerald a

476
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: week the week. You never know what you're gonna get

477
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: from now. Ryan Matthews just needed all of us to

478
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: not believe in him, and now suddenly and he's finally

479
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: fulfilling that potential. There we go, All right, here's the

480
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: running backs to trade four. Actually, I'm gonna show you

481
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: running back to trade for for a J. Green. Now,

482
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: you want to go out and get a J Green

483
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. You know what kind of running

484
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: running back can you get in return for him? Well,

485
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: I think you can get a higher in running back.

486
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: And I think you're looking at a guy maybe like

487
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: a Matt Forte, somebody like That's somebody who especially you

488
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: want somebody who has potential to not only run the football,

489
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: but to catch the football as well. A J. Green.

490
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I know he's been up and down. I know he's

491
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of ebb been flowed with the struggles of Andy Dalton.

492
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: But I think you can get somebody very very productive

493
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: for a guy like a J. Green. I think you

494
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: get a lot of dead air on the other side

495
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: when you call and try to make a deal for

496
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: a J. Green, even as he struggles, as you say,

497
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people still put a lot of value

498
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: into his name, and just having a J. Green seems

499
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: like a great play each and every week. Here's some

500
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: players you can trade for, some running back to joyke Bell,

501
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush's situation in Detroit getting a little more tenuous

502
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: by the day, Eddie Lacey's act stacy really coming through

503
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: so far this season. Trade away Reggie Bush. At some point,

504
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: you have to think c. J. Spiller is gonna get

505
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: opportunity or Fred Jackson's gonna get hurt, which is what

506
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: happens to the guy every single season in Buffalo. Yeah,

507
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: I expect a lot of people to be winning their

508
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. Surprisingly enough with c. J. Spiller. That's just

509
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: right when you're ready to get up on him. That's

510
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: when he starts to play really well. And then next

511
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: year everybody's gonna draft him first. C. J. Spiller, He

512
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: so great. I think the question is, if you're making

513
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: a deal for Joke Bell, is he a mutter? Ask yourself,

514
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: all right, especially not at home, especially all right. Here's

515
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: one Adrian Peterson and Tory Smith for Eddie Lacey and

516
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. A lot of big names in this trade.

517
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: I don't hate this trade, especially if you have Adrian

518
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: and Peterson and you're getting rid of him, because getting

519
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: back Eddie Lacy over the stretch drive Eddie Lacey could

520
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: probably get you more points going forward because he's gonna

521
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: be the number one guy and a pretty good offense.

522
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: We assume Aaron Rodgers will come back at some point

523
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: in any Lacey has become a big part of that offense.

524
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: And you get Dez Bryan and Tory Smith, you know

525
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: that's who you're That's a pretty good bargaining chip to

526
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: give up. And here's a bigger question though, guys. For

527
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, with him being banged up, the Vikings falling

528
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: out of contention, he's got that growing injury that he

529
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: says is stopping him from being who he is? How

530
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: long until the Vikings say, okay, sit down, Toby Gearhard

531
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: get in there for the rest of the way. Yeah,

532
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: I think at this point, don't be afraid to trade

533
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: away Adrian Peterson or at least kind of reserve him

534
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: on your bench, especially a week like this. You mentioned

535
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: he's not a hundred percent. The Packers run defense is

536
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: pretty good, and at some point everybody's just loading up

537
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: to stop Adrian Peterson. He's not the must start he

538
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: once was at the beginning of the year. All right,

539
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: here we go. Here's some wide receivers to trade four

540
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: and trade away again. These are guys we talked about

541
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: all week long here on the show, Victor Cruz, Brandon

542
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Marshall trade for cecil shorts. What have we told you

543
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: all year long on the show. When a guy says

544
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: I want the football, he gets the football. That's exactly

545
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: what cecil shorts did this week. So you can play

546
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: cecil shorts. Akbar is very happy that we are recommending

547
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: cecil shorts and the show. He's not even on and

548
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: we're saying to play cecil shorts. It's pretty nice. It's

549
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: pretty nice. You've been on that all all year. You

550
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: know what, the guy Seward are barking for playing time

551
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: or touches or targets. They keep getting them, except the

552
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: squeaky wheels generally don't play in Jacksonville this see no

553
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: I get to do that for Coming up next on

554
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Live, Chris Johnson has been on a

555
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: tour and pace can you keep it up? Plus Peyton

556
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: heads to New England while Dez and the Boys have

557
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: a big NFC showed own in that life. We're breaking

558
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: down more games and bring you the fantasy matchup of

559
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: the week as soon as we return. Welcome back to

560
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Thursday Night Football. Falcons and the Saints.

561
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan hoping that all his receivers would be upright

562
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: by the end of the game. Drew Brees expecting a

563
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: big one. First quarter Falcons opening possession, Stephen Jackson gets

564
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: the carry, goes in for a touchdown. Right, You got

565
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: points out of Stephen Jackson? No, because that helps them

566
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: seven nothing Falcon Saints would take the lead at halftime,

567
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: never relinquish it. Here goes Breeze forty four yards and

568
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Look at this guy. He's a monster. He

569
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: is an absolute monster, Jimmy Graham. And then if you've

570
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: got to see points for when your guy scores a touchdown, goes,

571
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: dunks the football over the goal post and bends the

572
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: goalposts called, Jimmy Graham, is really your guy? I could

573
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: do that. That's the rule yet that you can't do

574
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: that anymore. That'll be on Tuesday. It'll be the Jimmy

575
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Graham rule. Yeah, that's right, and that helped knowing Jimmy Graham.

576
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Here's the Thursday Night Fantasy recap the Saints

577
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: winning seventeen third team. Nice night from Drew Brees. Not

578
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: a great night, but nice one. Good night for Jimmy Graham. Marcus,

579
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: you're playing him in the Expert's League. Pierre Thomas continues

580
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: to play well. He excelled with Darren Sprowls out of

581
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: the lineup Stephen Jackson. Finally, after a long time, you

582
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: were rewarded with Steven Jackson. But it might be just

583
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: a little bit too late, you think. All right, let's

584
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: take a look at some more game previous here for

585
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: this weekend, Titans and the Raiders that matchup four or

586
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: five Eastern on Sunday. Couple of guys we're paying attention

587
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: to right now, Rod Streeter and de Laney Walker and Fabs.

588
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: Rod Street is a guy who I can't stuff to

589
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: say it after one game, But Matt mcglogn's got a guy,

590
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: and it's Rod Street guy, and I would be more

591
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: excited about him if it weren't for the fact that

592
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: the Titans have given up the fewest fantasy points to

593
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers this season. So I'm not in love with

594
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: the Rod Straighter. I think this is a guy who's

595
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: a desperation three in most leagues because of this matchup.

596
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: Guys the Titans, they just don't budge against wide receivers.

597
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: I know what about Delaney Walker. He's had a couple

598
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: of nice games in a row. Now can you give

599
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: him a world tight end? I like Delaney Walker more.

600
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: He's scored more fantasy points than any tight end in

601
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: the National Football League over the last two weeks. The

602
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to Walker's

603
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: position at home this season. He is a low end

604
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: tight end Number one. Let's get to the Cowboys and

605
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: the Giants this one at four five pm on Fox

606
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: and it looks like there's a crowded situation now for

607
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys goes with Miles Austin coming back. Terrence

608
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: Williams has been terrific so far in this season, Marcus,

609
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: So how do you proceed on Sunday? I think at

610
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: this point you proceed with a flex option at best

611
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: for Terrence Williams. Miles Austin. I'm pumping the brakes on

612
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: right now. It's been so long since he's been on

613
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: the field. I'm very concerned about what he has to offer,

614
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: and I have to start Terrence one at least, I

615
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: have the decision to start Terrence Williams in a league

616
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: more guys out there to split those targets, and they're

617
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: going up against a giant secondary that has really been good,

618
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: especially over this four game winning street. It really concerns me.

619
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: And like I said, Terence Williams flex option, I think

620
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: at best? All right, So the other side of the coin,

621
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: rank Eli Manning? What kind of a play is he

622
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: this week? I love Eli Manning. If you're in a

623
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: situation where you have Nick Foles and you're accounting on

624
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: him and didn't really pay attention to the bye weeks

625
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: where you can go up and pick up Eli Manning.

626
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: He's probably available in your league right now. Great match

627
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: up against the Cowboys. They haven't been able to stop anybody.

628
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: Nobody has given up war points the fantasy quarterbacks this

629
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: season than the Dallas Cowboys. Can't stop anybody, and they've

630
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: been even worse in recent weeks. This is this is

631
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: a great plan. I'm telling you. I'm not predicted right now.

632
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for weeks. The Giants are gonna

633
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: win the NFC East. Can't they clinch it this week?

634
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: With the wins, It's like the first of seven wins

635
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: it alright, So we pee you just about every game

636
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: this week and not a lot of the big games

637
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: going on. Wait, oh the Jets and the Ravens. We

638
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: have to be oh no, no, well no he cares

639
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: about that game. Nope, all right, go ahead, roll. You

640
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: won't care about this because Finley glovelcome to the end zone,

641
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: touchdown looks decorous in the end zone and touchdown demper. Apparently,

642
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: Tim Brady and Paul Manning are going to be very

643
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: good against each other this week. Here's Peyton and Tom

644
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Brady matchup fourteen. Here's where Peyton Manning ranks this year,

645
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: all those numbers in red, leading the National Football League.

646
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: So guys, obviously Peyton Manning passes the test. You're playing

647
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: him against the Patrons this week. But tom Brady rank,

648
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: can you trust him how to play with? That's crazy,

649
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: We're saying, why do you even ask? I want to

650
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: see if you're gonna I'm never gonna change. I have

651
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I've committed to Tom Brady and I'm gonna

652
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: trust him this week. The Broncos have given up a

653
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points a quarterbacks, and especially on the road,

654
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: so I look for this is a pretty good matchup.

655
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Have you've been burned by Tom Brady this year? Which

656
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: I have? This is the this is the week. I've

657
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: convinced myself, this is the week. All right, very good.

658
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: Every week I'm gonna ask you about Tom Brady and

659
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm starting him. And I don't even

660
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: go through the exercise of picking up a guy like

661
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: him in there and be like no, no, no, I'm

662
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: making this one. I'm putting in Glenn and this now,

663
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Tom Brady my guy, each and every week.

664
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. To the wide receivers. Who's

665
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: got the edge here, Wes Welker or Danny Amendola. Welker

666
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: now coming back from a concussion, Marcus, So who do

667
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you like here? I likes Welker in this one. I

668
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: mean it's his homecoming. First of all. I mean is

669
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: when you get back on campus, you see all your

670
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: wit now this he'll be back in Foxboro. Look, I

671
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: know he hasn't gotten in the en zone a lot

672
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: in recent weeks, but you can count on targets for

673
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Wes Welker. I mean, this is a guy who in

674
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: general is around tin targets a week. So he's gonna

675
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: get the football in his hands. Certainly, he has the

676
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: extra motivation. Meanwhile, you look at Danny m and Dolo.

677
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Some weeks he's big, some weeks he disappears. I just

678
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know that you can count on his consistency even

679
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: against a shaky Broncos defense. I like Welker to have

680
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: the advantage and wessel be at the Dirty Pig and

681
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: West all this weekend for happy signing autographs with the

682
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: rest of the team. But ken Rill Topkins fats his

683
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: stock is up, it's down, it's up, It's down. What

684
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: is it this week? It's down. I don't trust ken

685
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Roll Tompkins. Uh. This has become a crowded wide receiving

686
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: corps now that Danny Amendola is back. I like Aaron

687
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Dopson more in this contest. The Broncos have been tougher

688
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: against wide receivers over the last four weeks as well.

689
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Keep him on the bench or the waiver wire. All right.

690
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: Adam Rank has brought us shannahannigans. He has also brought

691
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: us Bellatrix, which has now apparently overtaken the Patriots backfield.

692
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Take a look right now and what we've seen last

693
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: week as far as the Patriots running backs go. Hey,

694
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: there's Stephen Ridley with thirteen rushing attempts, no reception, Shane

695
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: Vereene one rushing attempt, eight catches, Legarrett Blunt ten carries.

696
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: This after Stephen Ridley had another costly fumble. So proceeding here, guys,

697
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: what do you do here? I mean this is this

698
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 1: is every week of change. It's all about your scoring system.

699
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Ridley is going to be a better playing standard formats,

700
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: assuming he doesn't fumble again, which has been a problem

701
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: for Reene, is gonna be a better option in PPR leagues,

702
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: I could say is high an RB two, Garrett Blunt,

703
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: keep on the waiver wire. See. But with Ridley, I

704
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't even see him being a big major factor

705
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: in this game. I don't think they saw it. At

706
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: the end of last year. The Patriots had given up

707
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: on him. They had moved through the playoffs with Shane Vereen.

708
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Expect that to happen this week, all right now, As

709
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: far as the other side of the coin goes no

710
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: Sean Marino. People who know Shan Marino, Marcus, they were

711
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: very happy up until last week. Yeah, they were very

712
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: happy until last week. Then all of a sudden, Monty

713
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: Ball shows up here and starts making plays and getting

714
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: in the end zone. I think at this point, though,

715
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: you go with no Sean Rao. He's the guy who

716
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: gets a lot of the carriage, and I think more importantly,

717
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: he's the guy. You know, he's gonna be on the

718
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: field more often. He's better in past protection. That's gonna

719
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: be important in this football game. So as long as

720
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: he's on the field, he's the guy. I think you

721
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: go with Monte Ball. Maybe if you're really hurting and

722
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: you need a flex player or something. Like that. But

723
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: I just don't know that you can count on him

724
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: to get in the end zone a couple of times.

725
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: Well we do is when he fumbles, then you know

726
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a touchdown exactly, unlike anybody else, and

727
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: they from up with the ball and the great exactly.

728
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: Here's our expert projections aggregately for the Broncos and the

729
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: Patriots big days Peyton Manning, No, Shawn Welker, Thomas Decker,

730
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas near Ted on the Patriot side, Gronkowski, Danny Amendola,

731
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen, Stephen Ridley between that seven and tent spot

732
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. If you get your seventeen, you'd be

733
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: pretty happy. Now, we just broke down the big game,

734
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: but we aren't done yet. Here in NFL Fantasy Live.

735
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: When we returned, Adam Rank is heading out thumbs up

736

Speaker 1: and thumbs down for some of fantasy's biggest stars. Find

737

Speaker 1: out where your guys fall in this week's like dislike

738
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: We're back after this, Hey, everybody, Adam Rank here and

739
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: every Friday I polost my likes and dislikes in the

740
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: world of fantasy football, sports, TV, movies, and so much more.

741
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: This week we lament the loss of the true old

742
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: school Survivor series matches. You can check that out at

743
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash like dislike. But let's start with

744
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: the fantasy football in my first Life of the week,

745
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Now, everybody will be talking about Manning versus Brady,

746
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, but Stafford has been one of the

747
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: most consistent fantasy quarterbacks in recent weeks. In fact, he

748
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: scored at least eighteen fantasy points in five consecutive games.

749
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: The Bucks have allowed the eighth most fantasy points of

750
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in this year, and the top of off, his

751
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: top receiver just got his own Transformer Action figure. A

752
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: quarterback I don't like this week is r G three,

753
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: And this has nothing to do with him being a

754
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Marvel guy. Well maybe a little, but you know what,

755
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I bet RG three sees a lot of similarities between

756
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: himself and his hero the whole. And no, this has

757
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Mike Shanahan looking like Thunderbolt Ross.

758
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: All right, maybe a little, but maybe all of r

759
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: G three's teammates and luminaries are taking shots at him

760
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: to get him angry, Like Tony starked into the Hall

761
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: It's an interesting theory, but I still bench him against

762
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense. I like running back Andre Brown

763
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: this week, and he scored a rushing touchdown in six

764
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: of his last seven games he's played. And now he's

765
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: got the Dallas Cowboys, who have allowed eight rushing touchdowns

766
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: in the last three games. Yes, I'm as surprised as

767
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: you that a seventy three year old defensive coordinator fired

768
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: by his own son hasn't turned around the Cowboys defense. Wild.

769
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: Let's move on to a running back I don't like. Actually,

770
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a two furt. I don't like

771
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, as the Ravens have allowed only one rushing

772
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: touchdown to running backs this season. No team in NFL

773
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: history has allowed less than two rushing touchdowns for an

774
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: entire year. And on the other side, the Jets have

775
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest fantasy points are running back. So I

776
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: don't like Ray Rice, or as I like to call Rice,

777
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: fantasy football dream killer. And finally, I like this alshon

778
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Kidd. The matchup is pretty top, but sometimes you

779
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: have to play your studs against a tough defense. Jeffrey's

780
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: sport at least ten fantasy points in four consecutive games,

781
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: and he has been targeted a ton by Josh McCown.

782
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's all I ask. Give my

783
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: receiver a chance to catch the ball. You know what,

784
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: you want some more names. I will give you some

785
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: more names. Let's take a look at that. Right now,

786
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: some guys I like, Eli Manning, DeMarco, Murray Kendall Wright,

787
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, Joe Flacco gets a dislike, along with Ryan Matthews,

788
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Browns, and Antonio Gates. So right now, let's send

789
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: it over to Jason Smith and the fellas for some

790
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: week twelve spots starts. Thank you, Mr Rank, and thank

791
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: you for the your anniversary of running down under the

792
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: Giant winning the very first Survivor series. Time now for

793
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: our Hotels dot Com Fantasy Spotlight spot starts the week. Now.

794
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: These are players that you may not play again the

795
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: rest of the season, but you're playing him this week

796
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: because you have a bad matchup or you've got guys

797
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: on a bi So fabs, give me your big spots start.

798
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Adam had Joe Flacco as a dislike, And as much

799
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: as I like Adam, I dislike that prediction because has

800
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: got a great match up against the New York Jets.

801
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: This team has been awful against quarterbacks on the road.

802
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Look at the last four quarterbacks they've played on the road.

803
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: Ej Manuel eighteen fantasy points, Andy Dalton thirty two fantasy points,

804
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan almost nineteen fantasy points. The combination of Jake

805
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: Locker and Ryan Fitzpatrick almost twenty eight fantasy points. I'm

806
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: starting Joe Flacco this week. All right, let's go back

807
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: to Mr. Rank because we continue to want to move

808
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: down the One Man Gang, King Kung Bundy Band, Band,

809
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: Bigalow list of players and and wrestlers who wrestled in

810
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: that first Survivor series. Who's your guy this week? Rank?

811
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: One of the megapowers Mike Glennan. Although you said this

812
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: has to be a guy will never start again. I've

813
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: been starting my lent and each in every week. But

814
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: you know what, He's owned in just three percent of

815
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com fantasy leagues. But this should be higher.

816
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: He's been so fantastic. He scored at least fift fantasy

817
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: points in five is his last six games, eight touchdowns,

818
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: just two turnovers over that stretch. He's not turning the

819
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: ball over a ton. He's making smart plays, he's making

820
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: smart throws. I really like this guy. He's a spot starter.

821
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: I almost say they must start. He's carrying one of

822
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: my teams. So Mike Lennon's my guy, Jason, who is

823
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: your megapower this week? All right? Thank you, Mr Rack

824
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: And yeah, you've been on Glennon throughout the season. He's

825
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: been terrific. If you picked him up a few weeks ago,

826
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go running back. I'm gonna go with Chris

827
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: Obaniah for a couple of reasons. Number One, the eyeball

828
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: test Willis mcgahe he can't get past a lot of

829
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: scrimmage without tripping and falling down. Obaniah clearly is the

830
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: more explosive guy. He's recovered from that rib injury that

831
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: the Brown said. This is what held him back most

832
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: of the season. You saw what he did last week,

833
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: twelve targets against the Bengals. He's someone that can rush

834
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: for fifty yards, can catch about fifty yards, and passes

835
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: for you and the Steelers this week. Pittsburgh is the

836
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: third worst team in the National Football League. They've allowed

837
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: twelve rushing touchdowns to running backs. That's the third worst Albaniah.

838
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't play in the rest of the way,

839
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: but certainly this week he's a very good play. Marcus

840
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: can be your guy. Well, I spent all week trying

841
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: to figure out who I was gonna go with, and

842
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: I thought Jaguars. I mean, that's how we do. At

843
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: least once a week, we pick on the Jaguars on

844
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: this show. So this time I'm going with Garrett Graham

845
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: at the tight end spot. Garrett Graham has been fantastic

846
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: taking over for the injured Owen Daniels there in Houston,

847
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars have given up the second most fantasy

848
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: points per game to tight ends this season. Graham had

849
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: thirteen targets last week and the win over there in

850
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: the game against the Raiders. He's he's pretty much available.

851
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: You figure he's owned in less than twelve percent of

852
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot com leagus. Things are looking very good for

853
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Garrett Graham this week. And you look, like I said,

854
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: we picked on the Jaguars and once a week, this

855
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: is that opportunity. Why not? And you're playing plug and

856
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: play a tight end, so why not give Garet Graham

857
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: as smoothly? All right? Here we go here is our

858
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: projections for this week. Michael Fabiano projects Flacco for over

859
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: eighteen Fantasy points rank gives glenn In a huge week

860
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: with nineteen. I've given thirteen for Chrystalbaniah, Garrett Graham ten

861
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: and a half. It's if I ever got ten in

862
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: the head ports in my tight end, I would have

863
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: a party. Those are our hotels dot Com Fantasy spot.

864
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: Life Spot starts in the week for Sunday when NFL

865
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live returns. You've asked them, We'll answer them. We'll

866
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: go rapid fire through your line of questions for week twelve,

867
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: and NFL Fantasy Live continues Earlier on NFL Fantasy Live,

868
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: we checked in with our resident meteorologist, Jim Kosick from

869
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: ABC four in Salt Lake City. Brought us all kinds

870
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: of weather. How that's gonna affect the games on Sunday? Hey,

871
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: looking cold air? That ball could be a brick. Let's

872
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: go back out to Jim for some of COSIS calls

873
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: for week twelve. Jim, you ever trying to kick a brick,

874
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: let alone even throw it now. I could have called

875
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: out any kickers in the six games that I already highlighted,

876
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: but I'm calling out the QBS here because you can't

877
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: throw a brick. Jason Campbell can't throw a brick. And listen,

878
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisburger with the glove, your quarterback in the nfail

879
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: for crying out loud. You're trying to be Michael Jackson.

880
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing? I'm passing and a dome

881
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: quarterback going to the frozen tundra. Take a huge pass on,

882
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: Christian Ponder. Now we all know that the Panthers rushing

883
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: attack has been pathetic. So Cam Newton take over with

884
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: the wind and the rain in Miami, take over because

885
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: you're running backs are pathetic. And meanwhile, we've already seen

886
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: three times this year Kenbrell Tompkins awful in lousy weather.

887
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: Let's make it for and with more cold there. Ryan

888
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: Matthews is gonna struggle. And hey, just to make sure, guys,

889
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul mouth and off about my cowboys will

890
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: listen up, Mr Pierre Paul. That's my game face. Guys. Yeah,

891
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: welcome to the weekend, gentlemen. Gotta love week twelve. Thank

892
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: you very much. Mr Kosak. That is a very scary

893
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: game face. Now, speaking of weather, here's Peyton Manning with

894
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: temperature at or below freezing five degrees right now is

895
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: what it's expected to be at in his career. Nine games,

896
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, eleven picks, just over two d and twenty

897
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: passing yards per game. Guy's nervous at all. Fate. You've

898
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: got a bench up now, I guess you got a

899
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: bench up. You're not allowed to show those statistics because

900
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: the fact anytime you use the facts to show that

901
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning isn't the greatest of all time hater. Alright,

902
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: let's move on. We got one more game to get

903
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: to this Friday, Colts and the Cardinals. Andrew Luck is

904
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: a guy we've talked about the last couple of weeks.

905
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Is playoff schedule not the best in the business? What

906
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: are you doing Andrew Luck? This week? I still play them.

907
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: I understand it's a tough matchup going up against those birds,

908
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: But you know what, sometimes, as I've said this many times,

909
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: your star players have tough matchups and you just gotta

910
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: roll with it because he'll come out and he'll surprise you.

911
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: You know what if he comes out and throws three

912
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and you have him on the bench because

913
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: you wanted to be cute and play some other curtain

914
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: jerk or mid card jobber. That's on you. I don't

915
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: want that. I don't want that responsibility. I want Andrew

916
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: Luck to just let him play. On the other part

917
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: about having Andrew Luck cause even if he doesn't throw

918
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: for a ton of yards or a ton of touchdowns,

919
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: he can run for one. You know, he's always liable

920
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: to get in the end zone with his legs. And

921
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: if you're playing in a standard league at six points

922
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: instead of four, it's a bonus for you. How about

923
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald this week? You have to play the Colts defense.

924
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: If you look at the last four weeks, they've given

925
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: up a lot of fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

926
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer hooked up last week for a

927
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Jaguars. I say they go for two

928
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: in a row against the a f C South part. Now,

929
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: let's get to some questions from fantasy genius. People have

930
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: questions for this weekend. We hopefully have the answers. Here's

931
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: one that comes in that says, I have three open spots.

932
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: Who do I sit among Matt Forte, Rashaan Jennings, D'Angelo

933
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: Williams or Andre Brown fabs who does he sitting out

934
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: of that? For? Well, D'Angelo Williams. I mean that's glaring

935
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: right there. D'Angel Williams is a great matchup, but that

936
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: committee is an absolute mess. It's confusing. That's the guy

937
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm keeping on the bench. All right, you've just given

938
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: advice to Henry Hodgson who you're playing against? He sent

939
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: that question and wanted to know your mank uh play

940
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams, dare you? All right? Let's we want us

941
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: some other matchups here. These are ones actually we called

942
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: front Fantasy Genius Better Week twelve. Running back to Mark

943
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: of Murray or Lamar Miller? Who is the better start here?

944
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start to Marco Murray. I understand it might

945
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a tough matchup and lar

946
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is a guy I would like to avoid,

947
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: especially with the the concerns of the offensive line. So yeah,

948
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray is the better play? All right? Antonio Brown

949
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: or Keenan Allen. I'm going with Antonio Brown and I

950
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: know he's got that tough matchup with Joe Hayden, but

951
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: he just tends to get a lot more targets. I

952
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: have a lot more confidence in him than I do

953
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: An Allen, who's really been declining the last few weeks.

954
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson or Victor Cruz fabs. I'm going with Victor Cruz.

955
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: The last time he faced the Dallas Cowboys, he had

956
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: three touchdowns over thirty fantasy points. The Cowboys defense can't

957
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: stop quarterbacks. I can't stop running backs. I can't stop

958
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Bottom line, this is a good matchup for

959
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, Philip Rivers or Eli Manning right where you're

960
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: going Like the Giant in two thousand and four, we

961
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: are gonna go with Eli Manning. Archie approofs of this movie,

962
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: Martella's Bennett or Charles Clay. I am going with Martella's Bennett.

963
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: Let's go with that. I had to think about it,

964
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: but I think Martell has been It's a guy who

965
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: they really like in the red zone. Play is just

966
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: too unpredictable. Clay very especially on Sons of Anarchy, Clay

967
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: very unpredictable. All right, let's get to some big starts.

968
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: It sits for this week. HACKI knicks against the Cowboys

969
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: where I started at start every receiver for the New

970
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: York Jacks. All three of them had one hundred yards

971
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys last time, so you can start him.

972
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: Fabs Clay isn't unpredictable anymore. By the way, said, I'm

973
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: one knicks with this one. I mean that the Cowboys

974
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: secondary is awful, alright, Danny Woodhead against the Chiefs. I

975
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: am sitting Danny wood Head against the chief and I've

976
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: been big on him all all year long, but I

977
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: think this one makes me a little nervous. PPR League

978
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: start him standard not so much. I don't think that

979
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: you can sit Danny Woodhead. I start him. Can you

980
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: sit Mario manning him against the Red sta Yes? Easily?

981
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Who who stuck that question? Was that Henry? Again?

982
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us here on NFL Fantasy Live.
