You great? 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: One five dollars. 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: This is a. 5 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 2: Role happing a tackle kit. 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: One man, you're saying that humans need fantasy to make 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: life bearable. 8 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 3: Humans need fantasy to be human. My goodness, that was good. 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: You guys are prone, best, relentless, refusing to give up. 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: All right, hit that horn, Burless. 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 3: What's going on? Everybody? 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Flex podcast right 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: here on the Action Network. Dane Martinez and Samantha Pravini 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: looking back at Week three and getting you ready for 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: the waiver wire and all the moves you need to 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: make to continue your wind streak going in to week 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: four of the Fantasy season. Samantha, I gotta say, you know, 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: in the first few weeks of the season, all here 19 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: about is overreaction and stuff, right and how bounce back 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: a is gonna happen with some players. But the question 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: really is how long do you wait on some of 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: these guys. So what we're gonna do is play a 23 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: little game, and we're gonna call it patients or panic. 24 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: I want to see kind of is it deathcom five 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: or not much to worry about with some of these 26 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: guys positioned by position. 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: This is no timed up panic. 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 3: This is a perfect time of panic. 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: The first guy I want to ask you about was 30 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: a first round pick everywhere, and that's Austin Eckler, the 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: running back out of the Los Angeles Chargers. Now we 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: know the Chargers have been banged up a lot, okay, 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: whether it's Herbert, whether it's the offensive line, whether it's 34 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: the defense. But people expected, especially in PPR leagues, for 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: Austin Eckler to return RB one numbers and that's not 36 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: necessarily the case. So with Eckler, Samantha, is it panic 37 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: time yet. 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: Or should we exercise patients? 39 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of panics time, I would say, 40 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: because he has eighty rushing yards through three games. Definitely 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: not what you want to see. I mean, he has 42 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: not even broken the double digit point mark in standard 43 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: scoring right now, so it is not great. I know 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: that the Chargers are dealing with the whole bunch of things. 45 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: They just lost their left tackle they I mean, Justin 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Herbert's been really banged up. I don't side note, don't 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: even understand why he was out there that long in 48 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: that game. 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 2: Touchdowns at some point it's like, Okay, today's not our day. 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: Let's rest up and maybe not get another shot that 51 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: could you know, puncture your long God. 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Jaguars pulled Trevor Lawrence before the 53 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: Chargers pulled Justin Hermer, Like, I don't know what that's about, 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: but I mean, certainly that is a huge downgrade I think, 55 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: like overall to the whole Chargers offense. I mean, they 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: put him out there that I thought that that meant 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: that that was like he would be fine. He didn't 58 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: look fine, and everyone kind of struggled on that team. 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm panicking a little bit. I do of 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: Akler on one team, but like you can't st him 61 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: right now. So I think right now he's being downgraded 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: into the RB two Chier, which is a significant downgrade 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: considering he was like top three in most drafts. You 64 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: could have argued top two in a PPR draft. 65 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: So especially in PPR right, Like, I mean, he had 66 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: a ton of receptions and is utilized in that offense. 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: The one other reason I'll say, Samantha that I'm also 68 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: exercising patients here is because I expect Keenan Allen to 69 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: return in this offense, and I think that will be 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: a big deal here, just in terms of where the 71 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: defense has to put their attention and kind of opening 72 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: up the field. I also don't necessarily expect the Chargers 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: to be in the same kind of games they have 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: been in. You meant it, what is he downgraded to 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: an RB two? If you drafted off that Eckler, you 76 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: still have to start Austin Eckler. 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: I'm freaking out there. 78 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: You are freaking out, man, man man. 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: However, I don't know if that's the case with the 80 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: next guy. I'm gonna ask you when we're talking patients 81 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: or panic. And that's why receiver of the Chicago Bears, 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney, Now, a lot of people thought that he 83 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: was like a sexy name to kind of ascend to 84 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: be Bears wide out one. But I asked you, what 85 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: kind of production do you think you were going to 86 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: get from the Bears wide out one in the first place? 87 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: And this offense is looking it's poor in the monsoon, 88 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: you know, barely moving it against the Houston Texans. If 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: you drafted Mooney, is he still even starting caliber? Are 90 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: you exercising patients or is it time to panic on 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney. 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: It is actually full panic time for Darnell Mooney. I 93 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: would say, I actually just ran a Twitter poll last week, 94 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: and that's you know, only two weeks into the season, 95 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: and I was asking people who they were panicking about 96 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: the most. And you know, you to take something into consideration, like, 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: for instance, you dropped more draft capital and Kyle Pitts 98 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: for instance, or Austin Eckler to your point, than a 99 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: guy like Darnell Mooney. But still like no one has 100 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: any faith in Darnell Mooney. And the thing is that 101 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 1: we've seen this movie before. Alan Robinson was the wide 102 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: receiver one in this Bear's offense last year and he 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: was absolutely terrible. So the facts that I mean, I 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: understand the logic, like you want to have a wide 105 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: receiver one even if it's not a bad offense. This 106 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: is maybe like extra bad. And I like that saying 107 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: that you said last week, what was it like you 108 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: try to have a small slice of the pie and 109 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: a big slice of the us. 110 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: True, I'd get you a slice of a watermelon instead 111 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: of half of a grape. And to be quite honest, Samantha, 112 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: that I feel that way about the Austin Eckler, It's 113 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: all good because I believe in the Chargers offense in general. Meanwhile, 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: this Bears offense is really one of the worst in 115 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: the league. So I am jumping ship not only on Mooney, 116 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: but on a guy like Cole Kmet as well. And 117 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: even in two quarterback leagues, you know, Justin Fields can 118 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: only do so much with his legs to actually make 119 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: it really kind of profitable for your fantasy team. Well, 120 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you something, though, Samantha. Another offense that 121 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: I don't know if I want any piece of right now. 122 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: I thought I might have going into this is Russell 123 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: Wilson and the Broncos Let's ride, but they are not 124 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: riding pretty much at all. It honestly looks like Nathaniel 125 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: Hackett can't hack it. It looks like they can't figure 126 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: out this offense. I don't know if you saw on 127 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, they kept on making the point that 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: when Aaron Rodgers started in this brand new offense it 129 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: was slow for him as well. But I think Chris 130 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: Collins were said, like two MVPs later, it's all good, 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: and that they expect the same from Russell Wilson. Now, 132 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: I love the weapons. I love Sutton, I love Judy, 133 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: I love Javonte, But what's your level of concern when 134 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: it comes to danger Russ. 135 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: I am very concerned. I had a tweako viral last night. 136 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: What was Russ cooking? I had the knifel chicken. So yeah, 137 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: I am pretty concerned. I mean, you don't have to 138 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: be a football expert to watch that game last night 139 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: and just be like, what in the world is going 140 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: on with both of these teams? To be honest, I mean, 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: it was just like in the end, it was like 142 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: the safety mister Jimmy Garoppolo two step exactly that ended 143 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: up being the difference in the game. Like that's how 144 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: bad this game was. So it uh yeah, I mean 145 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm definitely panicking because I, like a lot of people, 146 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: I was pretty high on the Broncos. I was pretty 147 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: high on Russ. I thought this O line can't be 148 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: worse than Seattle's that he's been dealing with. And he's 149 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: got great weapons, and he had good weapons in Seattle, 150 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: to be fair, but he has great weapons kind of 151 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: all around. I had question marks about the coaching staff, 152 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: and it seems to be like that that could be 153 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: a major pain point this whole season, Like it's like 154 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: they're allergic to the red zone or something or and 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: then it's just like how much did they pay for 156 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Russ to go three and out? Like how many times? 157 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean it was just punt punt, punt, punt, punt 158 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: again and again. So it's if they can't get anything going. 159 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean there's like flashes of it, like that final 160 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: dry where Russ started to use his legs. You started 161 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: to see flashes of that vintage Russ. And that's the 162 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: thing that all of his best plays that you think 163 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: of are like the ones where he's like scrambling and 164 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: like he's like twenty yards out of the pocket and 165 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: then he throws like some crazy uh like heill Mary's 166 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: touchdown that makes no sense to anyone. But right now 167 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: I am panicking and panicking a lot on the entire offense. 168 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: So I hope that this is just growing pains, but 169 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: there's a good chance that this could be a whole 170 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: season of growing pains. 171 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, in my heart, I want to 172 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: exercise patients, right because we know who Russell Wilson is 173 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: an MVP caliber quarterback. We talk about the weapons he 174 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: has around them, But I just don't know if it's 175 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 2: like a fit with this new Natehackic kind of offense. 176 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: I would exercise some patients. I wouldn't drop them. Let's 177 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: put it this way. I wouldn't drop Russell Wilson. I would, however, 178 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: look to some other guys that are having fast starts 179 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: to maybe even start over him. I can't believe I'm 180 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 2: saying this, but I think i'd start Jared Gott over 181 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson these days. And again it's because of the 182 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: kind of success of the offense overall, at least at 183 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: this early part of the season. Well now here on 184 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: Fantasy Flexo, Samantha, we always do it. Let's take a 185 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: stock of what injuries happened over the last week and 186 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: kind of where we go from here. What's a big 187 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: deal and what the natural pivots are. And it seems 188 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: like every single week we've got a starting quarterback that 189 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: goes down. This time it's Mac Jones in the New 190 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: England Patriots. Very late in that game, you saw him hobbled, 191 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: needing help to get off the field, needing help to 192 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: get into the locker room. 193 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 3: They're saying they think it's. 194 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: A high ankle sprain, which carries like a four to 195 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: six week timeline, and so enter Brian Hoyer, of all people, 196 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: What does this mean for the Patriots' skill position players 197 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 2: that you do have rostered? 198 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: Right? 199 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: Maybe you do have a DeVante Parker or Nelson Agalore 200 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: or more importantly, one of these running backs Harris or Stevenson. 201 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: What happens with the Patriots offense for fantasy? 202 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, it wasn't an offense that a lot of 203 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: people had a ton of shares in to start with. 204 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: Like I thought that the running backs had some appeal, 205 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: even though you know there's always that element of Bill 206 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Belichick and his running backs are just unpredictable. Now for 207 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: the pass catchers, like I, mac Jones doesn't offer like 208 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: a ton of upside like some other quarterbacks. So it 209 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: was always kind of like the best they were going 210 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: to do is kind of like a wide receiver three. 211 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: And you know, Devonte Parker is coming off of this 212 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: awesome game, but that was in part due to Jacobe 213 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: Myer's missing team as well. So there's there's a lot 214 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: of guys on that roster, not a ton of them 215 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: that are like standouts, though you know they've got John Neu, 216 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: They've got Hunter Henry, They've got Nelson Aguloor, DeVante Parker. 217 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: I don't know which one you even want in a 218 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: perfect like with Mac Jones healthy now with Mac Jones 219 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: not healthy, I think that there's not one that I 220 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: would feel comfortable starting as a pass catcher. 221 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: Now. 222 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: I think Damien Harris, like that could hurt him a 223 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: little bit for sure. I mean, they may need to 224 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: end up leaning more on the run game, but he's 225 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: already got a pretty hefty workload, so I don't know 226 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: how much they can lean on him. Got much more 227 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: like I mean, Ramandra Stevenson could see a little bit 228 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: more like short yardage work, just because that could be 229 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: what all that Brian employer is capable of. At this point. 230 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we could see some Bailey Zappi at this point. 231 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. Uh please No, I was fading all preseason. 232 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: I was fading Zappy as soon as he got into 233 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: games for the Patriots. I was betting against them live 234 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: to great success, I might add, Samantha, I'm with you here. 235 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: I'm actually concerned for the shares of Damien Harris that 236 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: I do have. 237 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: And here's why. As they moved to Brian Hoyer. 238 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: They're in lambeau Field next week, okay against green Bay, 239 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: And if I'm the green Bay defensive coordinator, now I'm 240 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: putting everybody in the box like job one, two, three, four, 241 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: and five is stop the run game, you know what 242 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: I mean. I understand Mac Jones wasn't kind of a 243 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: dynamic arm, but he was functional, you know. He took 244 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: what was given to him. And now I'm forcing Brian 245 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: Hoyer to try to beat me over the top, you know, 246 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: and I'm saying it's not gonna be Damian Harris. So 247 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: I actually wouldn't mind downrating Harris and Stevenson just because 248 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: of all the attention that might get paid to the 249 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: Patriots run games. Speaking of run games, Samantha, we had 250 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: no shortage of running back injuries. And I'm talking important ones. Okay, 251 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: guys that are starting, not like Mac Jones in your 252 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: QB two necessarily, but I'm talking Dalvin Cook of the 253 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings got banged out of that game with a 254 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: shoulder injury and they got to fly across the pond 255 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: and go to London next week. I'm talking about DeAndre 256 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: Swift on the surprisingly potent Lions offense. 257 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: Along with David Montgomery. 258 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: I know we said the Bears offense doesn't look good, 259 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: but Monty was probably an RB two on most rosters. 260 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: So out of these three injuries that we heard coming 261 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: out of Week three, like, which is the most concerning 262 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: for you and what do we do in response? 263 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: Sure, I think at this point, based on the early prognoses, 264 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: is DeAndre Swift the shoulder injury. So that just came 265 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: out kind of like right before we hopped on here 266 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell said he could miss multiple weeks, and 267 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us really thought that the 268 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: injury was that serious, right, So wow, Whereas Dalvin Cook 269 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: and David Montgomery are kind of listed as day to 270 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: day right now. So to your point, though, with Dalvin Cook, 271 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: there's a good chance that they're not going to have 272 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: him fly across, you know, across the pond dealing with 273 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: this injury. They might give him the extra week to 274 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: sort of get better. And he is an expensive running 275 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: back to have, so it's like it's like why would 276 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: they Why would they do that to their investment? So sure, 277 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: I think like for this week, all three of those 278 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: guys are in jeopardy of missing the game. The only 279 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: reason that I say DeAndre Swift is more concerning is 280 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: one because he's probably been the best of those three 281 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: and two because it looks like he could miss multiple 282 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: weeks versus just one week. 283 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. 284 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And to be quite honest, what's interesting with both 285 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: Swift and Cook, I would say that they're back cups. 286 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: They're handcuffs if you will. Alexander Madison and Jamal Williams 287 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 2: are probably on rosters already. You know, those are our 288 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: high end handcuffs that probably did get drafted. So if 289 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: you're down Cook, if you're down Swift, you may have 290 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: to think about not only the waiver wire, but the 291 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: trade market going into week four. I'll also let people 292 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: know Trent Williams in San Francisco Rashaun Slater with the Chargers. 293 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: These are two like Pro Bowl caliber offensive linemen that 294 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: got banged up. We've been talking about the Chargers offense 295 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: and the Niners offense. Big time implications when those you know, 296 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: offensive linemen go down as well. 297 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: But let's turn intation see it in the game like 298 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: you see it in the game on Sunday night after 299 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Trent Williams went out, I mean that offensive line felt 300 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: like it totally fell apart. So it's not like I 301 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: think the Broncos have this amazing pass rush. So it 302 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: certainly will affect the forty nine Ers. It's going to 303 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: give him less, it's gonna gi Jimmy g last time 304 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: in the pocket to make decisions. So, I mean, they're 305 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: already dealing with some things, and that was just another 306 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: thing that just kind of adds on to the pile. 307 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean over with the Chargers, anybody protecting 308 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert right now is obviously important given the nature 309 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: of what Herbert and that Chargers offense is going through. 310 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: Sleeper is the fastest growing fantasy platform today with millions 311 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: of players.

We talked 340 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: about some injuries, we talked about some people that were 341 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: panicking on when it comes to the quarterback position. Let's 342 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: say maybe you did have Mac Jones in a two 343 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: quarterback league, you are ready to throw Russell Wilson into 344 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: the dumpster fire that is the Broncos offense. Like where 345 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: might you pivot to? Who are some quarterbacks you'd be 346 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: looking to grab on the wave wire. 347 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, for the two positions that I think are pro 348 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: people are leanised at right now are the two positions 349 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: that are also leanist on the waiver wire this week. 350 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: So with quarterback, I would say Marcus Mariota from the 351 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: Falcons twenty two percent rostered. He was a fringe QB 352 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: one sort of streamer option going into the week because 353 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: of the mapup and his rushing potential. He did end 354 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: up with a touchdown for the air and on the ground. 355 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't he didn't blow us away, but 356 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: he was the QB fifteen for the week. He has 357 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: not scored under fifteen points through three games, which is 358 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: you can't say that about as many guys as you think. 359 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: Like when we went into this season, think about this, 360 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: like thinking that the quarterback position was so deep. I 361 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: was telling everyone, hey, you can wait, like it's it's 362 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: it's it's deep. You can wait to get Trey Laance. 363 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: You can wait to get whoever, you know, like QB ten, 364 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: QB twelve, Like there's so much value to be had, 365 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: and right now, like it is looking scary. Even the 366 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: guys that were picking up on the way where I are, 367 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: car and Wentz. Carson Wentz had a Carson Wentz game 368 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: and he disappointed. So Marcus Mariota is definitely an option 369 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: out there for people who are struggling at the position. 370 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: I don't love necessarily the next three games he plays 371 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: the Browns, Bucks, and forty nine Ers, so that's just 372 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: something to consider, but I do like his rushing potential there. 373 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: Jared Goff from the Lions, I mean he came back 374 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: down to earth a little bit in that game. Who's 375 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: heartbreaker Honestly for any of us who watched Hard Knocks, 376 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: like I feel for the Lions and I kind of 377 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: want them to succeed. He is currently the QB eighteen 378 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: going to Monday Night. I mean, you go to expect 379 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: his fantasy production to be a little bit radic. He's 380 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: like in that same scene as Carson Wentz and Jamis Winston, 381 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: maybe like because you know, like they're guys that we 382 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: didn't expect to be QB ones and they will have 383 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: QB one weeks, but they will also have weeks that 384 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: are not that great, so he gets a good bounceback 385 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: opportunity against the Seahawks this week. They've allowed twenty seven 386 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: points in each of their last two games, so I 387 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: think that that could be a nice ad. And then finally, 388 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Zach Wilson. All signs going to Wilson 389 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: being cleared for Week four. He could be in a 390 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: really interesting add if he's not already rostered in two 391 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: quarterbackers super flex leagues. I mean, his rookie campaign was 392 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: nothing to write home about, but look, they made some 393 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: major improvements on the weapons side. They got first round 394 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: pick Garrett Wilson, second round pick Bracehall, and former vikingston 395 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: end Tyler Conklin, who has looked really good through a 396 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: few games. So I think that that should boost his 397 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: fantasy value, give him a little bit more of a 398 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: security blanket, so hopefully he will be a solid QB 399 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: two moving forward. 400 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: No, I like the Jack Wilson call to be quiet honest. 401 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: You know, people are all over Garrett Wilson. People going 402 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: into this season thought that Elijah Moore was going to 403 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: have a big time pop off season. 404 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: You mentioned Conklin. 405 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: Obviously Corey Davis is one of the So if you 406 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: like the weapons, right, I call it the fantasy herd. 407 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 3: Samantha, I don't know if I've ever used this term 408 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: with you. 409 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: Some teams are a fantasy herd where you never know 410 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: on any given week which of the receive is going 411 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: to have a good game. And in those situations, you 412 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: don't take the herd, you take the shepherd, the quarterback 413 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: of that group, and I think Zach Wilson, especially in 414 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: some negative gamescript games, people always expect the Jets to 415 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: be down, could get you some garbage time production. To 416 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: be sure, let's look at the running back position, Samantha. 417 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about the Dalvin Cook injury, the 418 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift injury, the Montgomery injury. 419 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: Where are you going. 420 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: To pivot if you lost one of these guys or 421 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 2: if you know you've had Austin Eckler that we're having 422 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: a panic about. 423 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: Sure, as I mentioned, it is a lean week for 424 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: running backs on the waiver wire. I use the fifty 425 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: percent threshold on Yahoo, and I will say that Madison 426 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: is just above that threshold, so he's worth looking like 427 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: it just check. But in most sharp leagues, I'm going 428 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: to say he's probably rostered. So to your point, that's unfortunate. 429 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: You can't say. 430 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 3: That, though, Samantha. You're like, that's unfortunate if you're. 431 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: Too bad Sandwich Jamal Williams, You're right, it's unfortunate. 432 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: Do yeah. I mean, so you gotta look else. Sware 433 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert is someone that's also highly rostered. He just 434 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: makes the cut of forty nine percent rostered. He was 435 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: near perfect David Montgomery and exited the game in the 436 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: first quarter with that ankle injury. He's got twenty carries 437 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty seventy yards two touchdowns. I 438 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: mean he was the only offense that the Bears could 439 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: get going in that entire game. So, I mean he 440 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: was a popular waiver ad after Week one, kind of 441 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: fell off the radar last week, so I think he 442 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: could have been dropped in some leagues. If he's out there, 443 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: I say he is worth a premium bid for those 444 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: people in fab waiver systems or if you know, if 445 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: you have happened to have the top pick and waivers 446 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: this week, please go get him. He is definitely worth 447 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: it because I think he has value way beyond just 448 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: being David Montgomery's insurance policy, because what I've seen from him, 449 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: he looks really good. I think that he will carve 450 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: out a role in this offense whether or not Montgomery's 451 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: on the field. And I think that Montgomery, the way 452 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: he runs all of that, like she's dealing with injuries already, 453 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: she could expose himself to more injuries. That's just the 454 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: nature of the running back position. So I think he 455 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: is definitely worth a roster spot. 456 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: All right, fair enough, I don't know, Samantha. 457 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: I remember, like we said at the top of the show, 458 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: I am hesitant to take any Bears onto my team 459 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: at this point. But you're right, Herbert certainly ate last week, 460 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: and maybe as time goes on he gets more even 461 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: into a little bit of a split with Montgomery. He 462 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: also seems to be kind of the receiving back of 463 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: the two, and so if the Bears are down in 464 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: games like I expect them to be, he might be 465 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: the guy on the field just as much as David Montgomery. 466 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 3: Let's go to some of the wide receivers here now. 467 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 2: Last week, I know we talked about like all of 468 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: these Packers were out all of the Buccaneers were out, 469 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: and you and I both thought that Russell Gage was 470 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: going to be that guy. He gets a touchdown, he 471 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: had like eleven catches or something. I hit you up separately, 472 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: being like, I'm starting him over other players and it worked. 473 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: I know you were. 474 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 2: Excited to see Russell Gage actually do it as well. 475 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: Yet he is still under fifty percent rostered. Here's what 476 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about him and some others. Now, 477 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: is this really sustainable? You know in Tea you're gonna 478 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: have Julio and Godwin come back, Mike Evans will be 479 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: off suspension in other places, like I know you have 480 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: a Cardinals wide out on it, like we're gonna see 481 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins back in a few weeks. So how do 482 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: you balance that in general with a guy who's having 483 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: a great week but could only be like a one 484 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: week wonder based on other people returning to the lineup. 485 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: Look, I don't know if it's just me, but a 486 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: lot of times I'm only looking in the short term, 487 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: especially if I'm in this situation where I need to 488 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: stream a position. A lot of times I'm just playing 489 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: the matchups, or I only need a guy for a 490 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks because someone's out this week or whatever 491 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: it is. So I mean, the thing is with Russell Geage, 492 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: He's a guy that I think for seasons no one 493 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: has ever really given him credit for what he's done 494 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: as kind of like the third receiver on a team. 495 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: But he's kind of like in that Tim Patrick group, 496 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: where like he's just steady and he produces when he's 497 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: given the opportunities. He's just not like the sexiest name. 498 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Now to your point, yes, Mike Evans will be coming 499 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: back from suspension, but there's a number of injuries on 500 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks that includes Julio Jones and Chris Godwin. They 501 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: could be banged up all season, Like we may not 502 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: see those two concurrently on the field again for the 503 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: whole season. Like it just it just feels like, I 504 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: mean we saw Chris Godwin for like five minutes in 505 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: he's gone. Like maybe he came back from that injury 506 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: too fast, because I did read that there is a 507 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: correlation between guys coming back from ACL injuries and dealing 508 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: then with hamstring injuries, so this could be something that's 509 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: like an ongoing type thing. And then Julio Jones is 510 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: always hurt, so like that's that's just that's just like 511 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, Russell Gage is a guy that I think 512 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: is worth rostering because I don't know that Brady will 513 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: ever have his full compliment of receivers there. So he 514 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: caught twelve of thirteen targets, eighty seventy yards and a touchdown. 515 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean there were other receivers in the mix, Cold Beasley, 516 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: I mean they pulled him out of wherever, but Gage 517 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: was the guy, So I like him. I don't expect 518 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: him to see thirteen targets moving forward, but he was 519 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: involved the week before when Evans was on the field, 520 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: so I think that he could easily grab that number 521 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: two spot until Godwin returns. He is a wide receiver 522 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: three flex, especially with the Chiefs Falcons in Tampa Bay 523 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: on deck. Moving on to the Packers, the same kind 524 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: of situation. I mean, we saw Christian Watson and Sammy 525 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: Watkins sit out, which, by the way, Sammy Watkins coming 526 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: in for like one good game and then leaving like 527 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: having a hammerring. It's so Sammy Watkins, Like it almost 528 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: takes a fantasy manager to know that, or maybe a 529 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: Packers fan, but like that is just what he does. 530 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: So I mean Christian Watson. I don't know that that 531 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: will be a long term thing. But Dods is the 532 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: guy that we were really hyping up right like during 533 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: the free the preseason. He hadn't necessarily laved up to 534 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: that hype Cooin yet, but he had an amazing game 535 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: in Week three. And the thing is he's a rookie, 536 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if like the people get very impatient. 537 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: I feel like especially with rookies, Like there were people 538 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: asking me should I drop Damian Pierce after like week one? 539 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: That was these are real questions and like the same thing, 540 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: like I saw Dobbs get dropped in a lot of 541 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: leagues just because people were like, oh, maybe he was 542 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: just a pre season penam that I you know, I don't. 543 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 1: I don't need him. But it's like I like this 544 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: chemistry that seems to be brewing between him and Aaron Rodgers. 545 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: They have technically a wide receiver one in Alan Blizard, 546 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: but he's not He's at the Fonte Adams. It's the point. 547 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: So I think that like if Dobbs could end up 548 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: being the two, like it's not a two on a 549 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: normal team, like he he could end up really getting 550 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: the same number of targets as Lazard and having serious 551 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: upside on that team. I mean, he gets the Patriots 552 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: Giants in Jets next, so it's a pretty good next 553 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: few games for him. So like those two guys, for instance, 554 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: like I don't think they're necessarily one hit wonders. 555 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, listen. 556 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 2: I mean Russell Gage, you're right, has kind of been 557 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: that under the radar third wide receiver. 558 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 3: Back when he was with the Falcons. It was the 559 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: same way. And you know, if. 560 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 2: At the beginning of the season I told you you 561 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 2: could have the second leading receiver on the Green Bay 562 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers pass offense, you take it right. So it's 563 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 2: just about trying to identify who that guy might be, 564 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: whether it's Watson, whether it's Dubs, whether it's Ramball Cobb 565 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: for goodness sakes, or my guy Robert Choppintunians out of 566 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 2: the tight end position. But speaking of tight ends, Okay, 567 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz probably down for Dallas. We've talked about others 568 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: that are kind of we're panicking about Cole Kmet among 569 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: them in that Bears offense. So if you do need 570 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: to pivot. You mentioned Tyler Konklin, who has literally been 571 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: a dependable part of the passing game. 572 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 3: In New York. 573 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure that I would have thought that 574 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: they would be dependable Jets pass catchers at this stage, 575 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: but here we are because there are actually a number 576 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: of guys that I'm interested in. Kerret Wilson had a 577 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: little bit of an off game. I will say he 578 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: took a really hard the Prince. I mean, that's not 579 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: necessarily fair to him. But Tyler Conklin a guy that 580 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: has quietly been having a very nice fantasy season, especially 581 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: in light of the volatility at the position, Like you 582 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: got to understand to be consistent at the position, that's 583 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,239 Speaker 1: a very big deal. So he is the tight end 584 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: four and half PPR through three games, behind only Mark Andrews, 585 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: Travis Kelce, and Zach Ertz. That has been pretty good 586 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: company to be in, especially to be like, you know, 587 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: catching passes from Joe Flacco. He didn't find the end 588 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: zone in Week three, but he was targeted heavily, caught 589 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: eight of eight targets for eighty four yards. Like which 590 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: tight ends out there are getting targeted eight times a game. 591 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: That is what he's averaging right now from three games. 592 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: So the target chair has been really impressive. I expect 593 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: that to continue with Zach Wilson taking over, because I 594 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: feel like Wilson falls into that category of being kind 595 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: of on the inexperienced end of things, and Tyler Conklin 596 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: seems like a nice security blanket and clearly he's an 597 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: attractive red zone target. So I like him, especially if 598 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: you are lean at the position. He's a great streaming 599 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: option right now twenty one percent rostered. As far as 600 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: other guys, Logan Thomas, he's a guy that I've been 601 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: pumping up. He did have a not great game. I 602 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: will say the entire Washington offense had not a great game. 603 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: Like they were scoreless until a fourth quarter safety. So 604 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: that's how bad things were for Carson Wentz in company 605 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: that said, I think that Logan Thomas will bounce back 606 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz will bounce back. That's just the reality 607 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: is that there are going to be games that are 608 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: not great. But Thomas was the tight end one last season, 609 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: our per game basis, so I like him to come 610 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: back onto the stream is streaming radar once again. And 611 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: then the last on I'm gonna talk about is Jalannie Woods. 612 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: He is actually he was actually one of my favorite 613 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: deep sleepers. I wrote about him in the preseason. Okay, 614 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: this guy is an absolute unit third rounder from Virginia. 615 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: He is six seven, two hundred and fifty nine pounds, Like, 616 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: could we get him to go play left tackle as 617 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: well or something like that. I mean, he's like he 618 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: is Martellis Bennett basically reincarnated. And Scout's saying, you know, 619 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 1: he has good blocking skills, good hands, all of that 620 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: seems evident on Sunday. I mean in his not to 621 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: mention that his first two NFL catches were touchdowns, so 622 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: he really really wowed me on Sunday. I think that 623 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: he has the talent and opportunity to take over that 624 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: position from Moalley Cox, who's just been like kind of 625 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: floating around exactly. So I think that he should be 626 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: on your fantasy radar, especially in deep leagues and in 627 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: keeper leagues. But I think, like anyone should just keep 628 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: this guy on the radar because he's talented. 629 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough with Conklin, you know, that would have 630 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 2: been my question as the Jets moved to Zach Wilson, 631 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: would it kind of still be that security blanket as 632 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: you mentioned, or did Zach Wilson try to like let 633 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 2: it rip a little bit more in this Jets offense 634 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: instead of being conservative like the veteran Joe Flacco. 635 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 3: Logan Thomas, I don't know if. 636 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: I want to see him. I don't even know if 637 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: I want to see Zach Wilson let it rip this. 638 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 2: But you know, he's like that gunslinger mentality, you know. 639 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: So we'll see if he is heavily targeted now that 640 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 2: they moved to Zach Wilson. I hope so, because I 641 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 2: do think and you know, I am a Jets fan, 642 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: and I saw even in the preseason Tyler Conklin being 643 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: involved in the offense. And honestly, when they signed c 644 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: j Uzama in the offseason, when they drafted Rutgert out 645 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: of Ohio State with their third round pick and signed 646 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin, I was like, wait, how are they gonna, 647 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: you know, have it go around for all three of 648 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 2: these guys, But it looks like Conklin is the one 649 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 2: that has emerged to be the kind of number one 650 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 2: Jets tight end. Logan Thomas is a guy I have 651 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: always been on. You mentioned kind of his points per game. 652 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 2: As long as he stays healthy, that's been the hardest 653 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: thing for Logan Thomas staying healthy. 654 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 3: And now there's something of a herd in Washington as well. 655 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we've talked Dodson, We've talked Samuel I. I, 656 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 2: you know, get lucky because one pass of fifty yards 657 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: to Darry McLaren every day saves my fantasy week when 658 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: it comes to him. And now Logan Thomas in the 659 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: mix as well, well, that'll do it for a fantasy flex. 660 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: I mean, we talked tight ends, we talk running backs, 661 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: we talk whiteouts and quarterbacks. I mean, Samantha, are you 662 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: getting into the flow of the season. How are you 663 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: doing in your leagues? And do you think that you know? 664 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: I mean, are we just are we? Are we being 665 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: confident overall? Are we panicking or exerting patients overall? Because 666 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: I get questions left and right, like you said, ridiculous things, 667 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 2: and I keep telling people it's only been three weeks. 668 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: Calm down. 669 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: Even if you're oh and three, even if you're one 670 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: and two, you can still make the playoffs, right. 671 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I will say this isn't a flattering 672 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: story for me, But when I first started playing fantasy, 673 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: I went zero and five start the season. Now that's terrible. 674 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: To be clear, though, I actually had a very good team. 675 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: It was just like a number of like very very 676 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: close matchups or like something would go wrong. So I 677 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: just believed in this team and I just kept throwing 678 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: it out there. I made some trades. I was diligent 679 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. I mean, the waiver wire is 680 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: so important. Sure, I've heard someone on Twitter say something like, 681 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: if you have a good team, you don't need the 682 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: waiver wire, and I'm like, oh yeah, just tell us, 683 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: like the Tree Lance managers. 684 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 2: Of the NFL, are there not injuries and bye weeks 685 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: to consider even if you did nail the draft. That's 686 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: why you got to listen to the Fantasy Flex Podcast, Samantha, 687 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: because you're right, the waiver wire absolutely matters, and we 688 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: can take you from one and two. Maybe in a 689 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: month or two you'll be seven and three. And remember, 690 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: if you have a question, hit Samantha up. We've got 691 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 2: the mail bag going on. We will check those out 692 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 2: and answer some of the best ones on the show. 693 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 2: Moving forward, Well, good luck to your team's Samantha for 694 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 2: a week four, and we'll do it again next week 695 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 2: here on the Fantasy Flex Podcast. Trying to make sure 696 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 2: people leave no waiver wire guy left unturned
