1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? No, this is

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: not James co. It is Alex Gellhard the whiz kids

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin on the Mike. James got called up to

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: the big leagues to do NFL Fantasy Live on the

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: network today. So I am filling in the host chair

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: and I'm joined as always by the Fantasy Maverick Adam Rank.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: How are you doing this morning? What's going on? I'm excited. Yeah,

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: I think when um and I don't want to call

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: you the backup quarterback, but not enough to keep me

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: from calling you the backup quarterback. This is uh, this

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: is good. This is like uh, this is like the

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trobiski of the Fantasy Live podcasts. It's just a

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: matter of time. I just started a little earlier than

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: expect to go over. But now it's I guess I

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: should have gone to Shawn Watson. Yea, that would have

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: been more at fitting happy to have. Isn't he technically

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: the third string quarterback? Because in other instances where James

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: has been gone, Marcus is hosted. Is that Ryan? So

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: you're like Joe Webb, I'm the Joe. I'm starting a

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: playoff game for us, but you do, you do great

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: work on specialty. Thank you. The voice you just heard was,

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: of course, the wide Receiver prognosticator, Matt Harmon. How are

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: you doing this morning, pal? Fine? Fine, it was a

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: rough it was a rough day yesterday. We'll get into

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: that for you and some of your players. And then

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: of course to my right, the magical Beard of Fantasy,

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Matt Franchise. What's up another day another podcast? You know,

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I'm excited. We have so much football

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: to talk about. Yes, and in the words of James Code,

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: this is of course a huge show we have before us.

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: We've got all the news to catch you up on

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: injuries to some star players, breakout performances from some other

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: players will hit the waiver wire. Who you need to

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: be targeting, how much you should be spending on them

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: from your free agent acquisition budget if you play that way,

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: which you should be, because it's the right way to

37
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: play the game. The fab the fab fobbob F A

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: A B. I don't care for it. It's gonna have

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: the a's got to have one of those lines over it. Yes,

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: I like I like a cast based system. It. You

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: know you are rewarded by how terrible you are. I

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: hate that. I am very traditional in people should be

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: slotted into economic slots, very anti I I think priority

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: it should be on your draft position and then it

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: carries through Like I in my league of record, I

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: have the tenth overall pick in a ten man league,

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: so I have the number one waiver priority that doesn't

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: go away until I use it. Right, But now you

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: have a choice like, well, do you want to I

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: burn it this week on Tara Cohen, I've been people

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: just sit on that till what's the poem? Because you're

52
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: waiting for that guy to drop I guess. Also in

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: the show, we'll recap the Target and Touch Leaders, Franchise

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: and Harmon combine on a phenomenal piece series. I'm not

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: just saying that to be a company man. It's good stuff.

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: You can read an NFL dot Com slash Touches and

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: Targets will get into that. We're also going to go

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: behind the behind the glass to producer Chris who also

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: works for the Chargers for Chris's Charger Corner working title

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Like It Like It already, but he's close to the team,

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: so he's gonna help give us some insights for Monday

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Night football and upcoming matchups, and we'll see how accurate

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: they are, and then maybe the segment will die after one.

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: One never will know, Frank, we need to keep the incentive.

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: At some point, I would like to know if the

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Chargers and I can ever be friends. A we have

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: a war going on. We don't like you were a

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: former season ticket hold and they've turned their back on me.

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, you're moving to Orange County and the

70
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: most prominent sports person in Orange County outside of Mike

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Trout is me name drop is me, and the Chargers

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: turn their back on me. Do you have I'm from

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 1: the nine five one, I live in Let's let's your wheelhouse.

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: That's exactly the market you should be targeting. Area Man

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: takes up battle against local sports teams should be Adam

76
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Ranks Like I was gonna say, I feel like this

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: is how many do you have with the sports teams?

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Like a lot of issues with a lot of people.

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: And then to wrap up the episode will of course

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: get to your top performers, biggest disappointments, and daily depths.

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: But as always, we started the show with your top headlines.

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: The camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking breaking news, breakingly,

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: continue to follow breaking news news your wife. So David Johnson,

84
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: number one pick in many, many, many fantasy leagues, hurt

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: his wrist on Sunday against the Lions. X rays came

86
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: back negative, but the fear is he could whisk miss

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: a few weeks at a minimum half the season or

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: more is even on the table. The team, the doctors

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: and staff are gonna get us more information today hopefully,

90
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: But franchise, what do we do in the wake of

91
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: this David Johnson? This was terrible to watch. David Johnson

92
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: was doing everything, first of all for for the Cardinals,

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: no surprise. I think it was like, uh, you caught

94
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: a pass like between three defenders and got got smashed

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: by him, and I think that's when he heard himself.

96
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: He came back off the field for one more play

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: I think, and then was out. Uh. And I believe

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Ian rapp report said last night that X rays were negative,

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: but they were waiting some mr I results today, So

100
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: it's like pretty severe wrist brain Now rap Sheet just

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: tweeted that he might not miss time. It's something to

102
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Uh. It sucks for anyone who

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: drafted him in the first round. I mean, wrist is

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: important for a running back gonna be able to hold

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: on the ball, and he catches a lot of passes,

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: so that could affect his pass catching ability. Just something

107
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: we got to keep an eye on. And so I

108
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: think see how this plays out if we want to

109
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: be encouraged. Last year in Week seventeen, he looked like

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to have suffered what should have been a catastrophic knee injury,

111
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: but he bounced right back up and it wasn't serious damage.

112
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: So harmon, who's the guy we're going to dial up

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: in the waiver wire in the absence of Johnson if

114
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: he does miss time. I guess it would be Kerwin Williams,

115
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: who also has a nice revenge game on his slate

116
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: this week against the Colts. But this offense. I watched

117
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: this game pretty closely on Sunday, the Lions and Cardinals,

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm worried about the Cardinals just in general.

119
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: And I know you just mentioned the fact he, you know,

120
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: looked like he had suffered a serious injury in Week seventeen,

121
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: and that might be, you know, good for maybe his

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: recovery ability off this one. I don't know, man, I'm

123
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: a little a little nervous about the fact the last

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: two times we've seen David Johnson he's left the game

125
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: with potentially multi week injuries. Um that's what tends to

126
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: happen to these running backs that get pummeled with workload,

127
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: as he certainly did last year. Um, I don't know, man,

128
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: if he if he's out, I don't know that I'm

129
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: chasing any of these running backs, even though I kind

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: of like Kerwin Williams because, like I mentioned, Carson Palmer

131
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: was just it was a nightmare scenario yesterday because just

132
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: any time he was forced to throw off his off platform. Uh,

133
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: he he was not good. He threw interceptions on passes

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: that traveled twenty more yards in the air. He was

135
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: over five yesterday. It's a it's it's a rough going

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just a slow start, but um, you know,

137
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you've got to be concerned about the whole Cardinals offense.

138
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: It could be and and I'm gonna go to you

139
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: as a resident West Coaster here, but there is some

140
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: data to back up the fact that West Coast quarterbacks

141
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: that have to travel to the East Coast, I mean,

142
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Detroit's not exactly the quote unquote East Coast, but they

143
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: have to travel far east for the early games. Sometimes

144
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: they struggle. Big Ben is that issues with it, um

145
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: when he traveled the other direction. But Carson Palmer, do

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: you think this is worrisome or just maybe some week

147
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: one rust and a long travel. It's worrisome because it's

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: something that we saw last year that this team wasn't

149
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: really clicking at least Carson Palmer wasn't for a long time.

150
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: And again, I I still um as a West Coast person,

151
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I always hate that they make the West Coast teams

152
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: playing that ten am slot, Like why, like you have

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: plenty of like there were three one o'clock games last night,

154
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: and you're and you're like, why can't we have more?

155
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Like more and we have more afternoon games? Like does

156
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: do people not like these? I don't know what the

157
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: big deal is, especially if you're a West Coast team.

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: And I remember as a little kid waking up and um,

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: because my dad was a Bears fan, obviously, and you'd

160
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: want to see the I remember how upset he would

161
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: be when the Rams were in one of those ten

162
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: am slots and they would preempt them because in the

163
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: eighties of Bears were on on the CBS R n B.

164
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Heb be a stand back then, Uh, you know, fairly regularly. So.

165
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: The one thing though with with Carson Palmer and this

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: whole Cardinals offense is that even with David Johnson being

167
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: there and being so great, at some point you're like,

168
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: and you saw this last year, Like do they need

169
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to go through a remodel? Do they need to do

170
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: a rebuild? Do they need to kind of get a

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: new approach. Because Larry Fitzgerald is coming towards the end

172
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: of his career. I still think he's got a little

173
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: bit late. He seems like he's got a lot left.

174
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: But Carson Palmer has been scaring me, and it's surprising me.

175
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: It's surprising to me that they didn't try to address

176
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: it in the draft. Perhaps they were trying to maneuver

177
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: up to get somebody like Mahomes or somebody like that.

178
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: But man, they really could be in a very precarious

179
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: position because the drop off from from Palmer to stand

180
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's pretty severe. They should trade for

181
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley or something. They should do something, and not

182
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: to mention like I think Palmer could be functional or

183
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: potentially even like a plus starter if all things were

184
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: fine in the Cardinals offense. But all things are not fine,

185
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: like their left tackle d J. Humphreys had to leave

186
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: with an injury in this game. Their receiver corps has

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: multi layers of questions. Though John Brown encouragingly did play

188
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: a pretty full workload. He was but right behind Fitzgerald.

189
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: I think just so it was the number two receivers.

190
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: So that's great to see. But yeah, things are not

191
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: all right with the Cardinals right now. Moving on to

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Duval County, they had a great win against the Texans

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: on the road, but it came at a cost. After

194
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: just a handful of snaps, Allen Robinson has done for

195
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: the season with the torn a c L. The team

196
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: is confirmed the Doug myro own fever dream of never

197
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: passing nearly came true in Week one, though, so Harmon

198
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: as the resident Allen Robinson truther and fan club leader

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and pal what's the fallo up for this passing attack?

200
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: And Leonard four Nett as an ancillary effect because he

201
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: saw the highest percentage of runs with eight plus defenders

202
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: in the box already per Next Gen stats. Throw to you,

203
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is hard. You can go

204
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: to rank instead as that No, no, no, We're fine.

205
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a really just a horrible thing

206
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: for Alan Robinson to have to deal with him, and

207
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: he's in a contract year. It was looking like he

208
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: could at least bounce back to somewhere in the media

209
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: between his two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and

210
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: sixteen season. Um. I know he had been really diligent

211
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: this offseason and really getting after it and everything. So

212
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: it's a horrible disappointing, uh development for his career, and

213
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: just you know, wish him the best personally and professionally

214
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: and and everything that's that's going to happen next and

215
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: a confident where it we'll see him dominating again here soon.

216
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: As to the Jacksonville offense, I know that I've already

217
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: gotten questions about it and I'll probably have to address

218
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: it in the Deep Dive Waiver Wiver Waiver Wire column.

219
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: Who are we chasing in this passing attack now? And

220
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I think my answer is like pretty hard nobody. I mean,

221
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I'll recommend that if you're in a deep league that

222
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: starts multiple receivers, that you can sure you can add

223
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns and Mark Easley who both uh leat the

224
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: team and targets tied for the team leading targets with four,

225
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: both of them for Mark Easlee. No catches on those

226
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: four targets, and I think that's but this is the

227
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: formula that Jack sin Bill wanted. And I know that

228
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: you and I, you and I Alex were discussing by

229
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: the last night, like who were the mirage teams from

230
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: week one? I think Jacksonville is certainly on the ledger there.

231
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: But but but, and here's the button they stopped Houston.

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this defense was unbelievable with the past rust

233
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: that they got out Campbell signing and he's a phenomenal

234
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: player and he trushed for Arizona, but seeing him alongside

235
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the people that have on the defensive

236
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: line was a total difference maker. Janik and got way

237
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: getting after it, Dante Fowler even looking functional, and that

238
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: really sets up Blenard four Nette to be like a

239
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: three hundred plus carry back. Potentially goes back to like

240
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: early early Russell Wilson Air Seahawks, like dominant defense, run

241
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: the ball a ton and have hopefully Blake doesn't turn

242
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the ball, which is like what they've been trying to

243
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: be for like five years, guys Bradley leaves and then

244
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: the first first year that he's gone, they're gonna get

245
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: the team he wanted. Perfect. But that's but honestly, if

246
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: you look at their schedule, I see them they're they're

247
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: bye weeks in week eight, they could legitimately be five

248
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: and two. Yeah, No, I mean, I schedule this breaking

249
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: out pretty well for them. I think they're toughest game

250
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: is at Pittsburgh, which I don't think that. I wouldn't

251
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: automatically give that to the Steelers. And I think, listen,

252
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm not automatically given nothing to the Steelers. I hear you.

253
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: They're gonna get They're gonna get into more games that

254
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up winning, like twelve to ten the Steelers.

255
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: No that Okay, so jack No, I get that. But then,

256
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: but thinking about a team like Pittsburgh, if they can

257
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: go out and put up points, see, I don't think

258
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville can even be competitive if they have to try

259
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: to get into a shootout, right, But I don't We're

260
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: getting a little ahead of ourselves here, guy. I don't

261
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh necessarily goes out and does that against franchise

262
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: Are you after Leonard for Net's dominant performance but losing

263
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson? Are you worried at all or do you wanna?

264
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Are you still fine with him? I mean he had

265
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine touches in this game. That was the most

266
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: of any running back this week so far. If they're

267
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: gonna give it, they they have already come out and

268
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: said they don't want Blake Bortles throwing the ball heat.

269
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: I think he completed eleven passes and they just fed

270
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: four our net and most of his runs were up

271
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: the middle for short games, he punched in a short

272
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: touchdown I think. I mean Chris Ivory got ten or

273
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: eleven touches to t J Yelden was an active so

274
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: maybe four net comes off the field and third downs

275
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: going forward because he passes though, So that's encouraging. Yeah,

276
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: if he's gonna get this kind of volume like all day,

277
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be he's gonna be a weekly RB one

278
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: just because of the volume. Alright, moving on, somebody who's

279
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: not a weekly RB one, but it's going to be

280
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: on a lot of starting fantasy rosters coming up. Tarret

281
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Cohen on a show in Chicago. Uh, he's the real deal.

282
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Does this make anybody nervous about Joe hoo franchise is

283
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: the resident running back guru will go back to you,

284
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: what's what's the ding for Jordan Howard and how do

285
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: we value Cohen moving forward? So, Jordan Howard's still got

286
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: sixteen touches in this game. It was a negative game

287
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: script for Chicago. I think you know, Howard got the

288
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: goal line touchdown, but Tarik Cohen came out of nowhere.

289
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Twelve targets, eight receptions, He averages like thirteen point two

290
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: yards per carry at sixty six rushing yards on his

291
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: five uh five carries. He scored a receiving touchdown of

292
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: his own. He the Jordan Howard touchdown. Yet Yeah, the

293
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard touchdown was a direct snap from the Wildcat

294
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: to to Tariko and he handed off the Jordan Howard

295
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: What I say, wild bear? That's yeah, that's what they're

296
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: calling it Chicago. I mean, I think this is a

297
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: guy who, Yes, I'm worried about Jordan Howard's volume in

298
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: negative game scripts like this. They also lost Kevin White

299
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: to potential season ending collarbone injury. I think he's already one,

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: He's already on I R I think Tarik Cohen's value

301
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: skyrockets with an injury like that. We saw them use

302
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: him all over the field with success. I think he's

303
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: when he's on the field, defenses are not going to

304
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: be able to just ignore this guy. People knocked his size,

305
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's only like a hundred seventy nine pounds,

306
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: but he clearly showed his versatility and it's definitely worrisome

307
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: for people who took Jordan Howard in the first round,

308
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: which we were kind of advising against. To me, he

309
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: looks at least like a safe weekly floor Play rank. Right,

310
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: we're getting in the mix on running in, passing down,

311
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and I, you know, it's funny because some kid hit

312
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: me up. You know, hey, who do I pick up

313
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire? And uh, Mike Clay and I

314
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Mike Clay of ESPN. We had a difference of opinion

315
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: because he was all about Golladay and I said Cohen,

316
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: and I think that both Howard and Cohen are gonna

317
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: be able to coexist. I think it's gonna work out fine.

318
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: I think it's it's I know a lot of people

319
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: will probably compare it to Ladanian, Tomlinson and Darren Sprawls

320
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: because Cohen compares favorably to Darren Sprawls. But you've got

321
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: to realize that those teams were different. I mean that

322
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: those Chargers teams had Antonio Gates and Ladinian Tomlinson was

323
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: a much better receiver than Jordan Howard is at this

324
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: point of his career, so I think both of them,

325
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: and in a team that is right now starved for

326
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: offensive players, there was no way that you're gonna not

327
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: use Jordan Howard and you're gonna find a way to

328
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: put put put Cohen into the mix. And we saw

329
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: there were times too at the end of the game

330
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: where you would ink that Cohen should be on the

331
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: field that he was on the sideline, and they were

332
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, you wonder, but you're like,

333
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: you know what, They're not gonna over use them in

334
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: week one, which is pretty much the opposite of what

335
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: the Jags were doing with four net like he might

336
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: not be here, we gay, but whatever, we're running them

337
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: forty times. I think that it's pretty safe. And I

338
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: talked about this at the top of the show, about

339
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: having that number one waiver spot that I lose for

340
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the season and a couple of years ago,

341
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: I didn't jump in on Freddie Morris, and it ended

342
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: up because Washington running back like ended, it ended up

343
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: costing me the whole year. And so instead of holding

344
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: out hoping that somebody's gonna break free in week eight

345
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: or week nine, it's like, and I've just lost Danny woodhead, Um,

346
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick up Cohen and I'm gonna feel pretty

347
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: comfortable with them. And I I think that the touchdown,

348
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: you know that it's gonna be a variance that comes

349
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: and goes. But I think week to week, like you said,

350
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: that floor is gonna be pretty good and he's gonna

351
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: be heavily involved. And I think Howard is not going

352
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: to suffer as much as a lot of people befit

353
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: for those who as well as the Bears defense is

354
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: pretty good, So it's gonna be able to slow down

355
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: and games and get them involved a lot. Dude. That

356
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: was and and honestly, there was a one breakdown. There

357
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: was one bad play that they had the Hooper one

358
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: whole game the Hooper, and I also stole that DB's

359
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: soul he made. Yeah, that should have been a penalty.

360
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: Disrespecting unnecessary Alright, jumping over to Houston after just one

361
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: half to Shawn Watson could be the starting quarterback. NFL

362
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Network insider Ian Rappaport reports the team expects him to

363
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: start Thursday night against the Bengals. We did see immediate dividends.

364
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: There was an undeniable spark in the Houston offense, but

365
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: statistically Watson wasn't much better than Savage. So is he

366
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: a viable streamer? And what does this do for New

367
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: Hopkins Matt Harman. Well, again, I said, I watched this

368
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: game pretty closely, and there were two players in Week

369
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: one that everybody said, you know, wow, you can just

370
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: see their absence on the field, that being Andrew Luck

371
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: obviously and Odell Beckham the effects that they or absence

372
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: had on their respective offenses. But Dwayne Brown not being

373
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: out there for the Texans, Holy hell, that made a difference. Yeah,

374
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: Because I mean Tom Savage. I still don't know if

375
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: we know if he's good or not, but we can

376
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: certainly say he is not the type of quarterback that

377
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: that you that is ideal for this era of football,

378
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: especially if you don't have a good offensive line. I mean,

379
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: he's a statue back there. The Jags are just teeing

380
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: off on him. Um so, but it sounds like, yeah,

381
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: I think they'll go to Deshaun Watson, who you know.

382
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned that the lack of protection right away when

383
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: he got on the field, his mobility and just being

384
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: able to move around gave the team a spark. But

385
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: it didn't last either because they didn't really sustain much

386
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: offense and he, uh, I believe, turned the ball over

387
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: and so, you know, I don't really know. I think

388
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: new Copkins he got a ton of targets, a ton

389
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: of air yards opportunity, But this is that I just

390
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: don't think like we can say that he absolutely had

391
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback upgrade, despite the fact that they are are

392
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Brock free right now and the Texans offense is another

393
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: one that just really does gonna have a lot of

394
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: a lot of counterpunches right now. Now. One thing that

395
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: might have hurt Watson two is he came in when

396
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: they were already down big, so all of those JAG's

397
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: pass rushes were able to pin their ears back and

398
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: and sitting coverage. So maybe if he's in there for

399
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: the whole game and they can establish the run, Dwayne

400
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Brown's back might be a little better. But it's shaky

401
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: for now and uh In heartbreaking news, Danny Wood had

402
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: pulled up in the first quarter, hurting his hamstring. Team

403
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: fears he could be out a while. Don't forget he

404
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: was dogged by hamstring in the preseason. I believe this

405
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: would put Javorious Allen buck Allen, a former Trojan, on

406
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: the waiver wire radar. He actually out snapped Terence West

407
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: when he came in that they had about similar production though.

408
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: But Franchis, what's your take on this backfield? Now? Yeah,

409
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: javors Allen actually twenty one touches West. Uh. West had

410
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: nineteen carries for a d R, so he and West

411
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. I think it was just a situation

412
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: where the Ravens were in a blowout, so they gave

413
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: Alan some work when Woodhead came out. I mean, the

414
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Bengals put up zero points. It was a shutout, so

415
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: they gave all Allan some work, maybe preparing him for

416
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: next week because he might have a higher volume with

417
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: wood Head out out. Definitely a guy I'm targeting on

418
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: the waiver wire if West struggles or you know, is inefficient.

419
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: He's been known to be inefficient throughout his career. Maybe

420
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: they get West Allen more involved. Maybe they get Allen

421
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: more involved in the passing game too, So I might

422
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: I might bump Allen up to my second guy, especially

423
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: for what Head's gonna be out for a while behind

424
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Turret Cohen on the waiver wire this week, just because

425
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: he profiles is a better pass catcher than West. And

426
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens have been what the second most targeted of

427
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: their backs in the last couple of years or the most. Yeah,

428
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: but no team has thrown the ball more than the

429
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: Ravens over the past two years. Right, that's what it is.

430
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: And they target the hell out of their backs. Everybody here,

431
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think that. Um, when you think of

432
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: players will get hurt and you're looking and you see

433
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 1: their stat line. Kenny Woodhead was almost decent with playing

434
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: like four quarters. He had four touches for like thirty

435
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: or four yards in like four minutes of seven points,

436
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I'm like, did he come back?

437
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: It was such a great start because you're like, yes,

438
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: this is what we drafted him for is we're hoping for.

439
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: And then he got injured. So hopefully eight good news

440
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: on Danny wood Heads hamstring. But we'll find out more later.

441
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: As for the Patriots backfield, James White thirteen touches, Mike

442
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: gillisleft touches and three touchdowns. Rex Burkhead was in the

443
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: mixed with some high value opportunities in the red zone

444
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: in deep passes. So wtf do we do with this backfield?

445
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Anybody feeler? I mean, look, I know that everybody's like, well,

446
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: you can't predict this backfield lamp, but like, look this

447
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: offensive well, then again, they did not score points much

448
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: in week one, but I think they'll get right back

449
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: to it in week two. They play the Saints next

450
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: week in the Superdome that has shootout written all over it.

451
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Of course, who are we talking about the Patriots? You

452
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: said they didn't they scored a ton of points. I mean, yeah,

453
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: but not they were not like the offensive machine that

454
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: you would have thought. The Chiefs definitely gave them trouble.

455
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: They scored like thirty points. I know, but but look,

456
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: but just watching that offense, it wasn't like the well

457
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: oiled machine that you thought that complete. They scored a

458
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: lot of points on the ground individual really, but the

459
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: passing game didn't look very good. Brady through no touchdowns

460
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: he had to go deep a lot more. But because

461
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: I kept tackling their receivers. I get it, I got

462
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: near the goal line, that's fair. But I look, maybe

463
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: I was just expecting too much, but I was expecting

464
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: you a little more from that drive, right, That's I

465
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: think that's what set it up, is that it looked

466
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: so so flawless on the first drive, but then things

467
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: kind of slowed down that She's definitely took control of

468
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: that game. Um but but so, my my point is

469
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: this offense is is gonna score a lot of points,

470
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and you want to be invested in that backfield. And

471
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be a headache to predict, but

472
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, I would still want to be

473
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: rostering guys like James White Rex Burkhead, who I know

474
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: let us down in Week one, but he was still

475
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: one of the first backs out there. He got some

476
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: high priority targets I want. I want shares of the

477
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: New England backfield. And you know, I get it, it's

478
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be predictable, but if you have to throw

479
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: a desperation running back to out there, I'd much rather

480
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: it be somebody from this offense than you know, some

481
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: some goofball like that that is just gonna get a

482
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: lot of touch or X in their games that should

483
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: be high scoring, like this one with the Saints. Like,

484
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: like you said, Rex, Burke had had a couple of

485
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: deep targets, one in the end zone. If one of

486
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: those plays goes his way, he turns into a solid

487
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: flex performance and we're not as upset about what he did.

488
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: Would literally not shock me. We needed that that touchdown.

489
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: So it was so awful, man, Like just watching Burkehead, Uh,

490
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: just get out there in the first couple of plays,

491
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, it's happening. I had to play him

492
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: in so many leagues. And then by the end of

493
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: the game, like, right, this is why, this is why

494
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: you like can't till like your your calls live in

495
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: a football games like this is a really fun game

496
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: to watch, and I don't want to care much that

497
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Burkehead is not out there. Right. I wanted to Vince

498
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: McMahon strut walk over everybody. You know what, though there's

499
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: been so many like so much sloppiness though offensively, like

500
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, it's like they should have like

501
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: a preseason where these teams play and they could work

502
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: out those kind of kinks so that when you get

503
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: in the Week one, it's not as every it's not

504
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: as like as bad as it looked. You've got Roger's email,

505
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, you should shut them up. They had some

506
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: sort of season. But it's funny. That's this. There was

507
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sloppy football, definitely in Week one, but

508
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: there's also some just some damn good defensive football too.

509
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: And no, no, no, no, no, it's a mix. Because

510
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I was just gonna, I was just gonna bring up Elliott.

511
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: I know he tweeted that last night and hey, listen,

512
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's just good, but it's and I would say

513
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: this week particularly, it was like a mix of both

514
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: because there were some sloppy, sloppy football, but then in games,

515
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: like I said with Jacksonville, their defense was incredible. Carolina's

516
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: defense had me sweating defense. Actually, every watched that game

517
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: last night did press well against Tennessee, Khalil Mack was

518
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: wrecking that game, but he's known to do that. Yes, yes,

519
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: in quiet ways. All right, So guys, uh, did you

520
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: hear Alex Smiths throwing the ball deep in Week one?

521
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: UBI one? Alex Smith do you so we knew he

522
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: was able to do this. We've seen it pop up

523
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: sparingly throughout his career. But if there is a new,

524
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: more aggressive Alex Smith this season in this offense that

525
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: they finally perhaps hold it to perfection, does this change

526
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: how we view him as a fantasy quarterback a little bit?

527
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like with Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt, they

528
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: made him look like Norm van Brocklyns out there read

529
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: a book. I'm so tired of you just made up

530
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: that you know what rank. We were supposed to have

531
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: the All Youth podcast this morning and then your schedule

532
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: had to break so you could come back on the

533
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: show and ruin It wasn't I wasn't alive. I know

534
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: who that is aware of the name. Anyways, all I

535
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: will say is I think Smith is uh certainly needs

536
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: to be more on the radar, and he's got a

537
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: good matchup coming up this week. He goes back home

538
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, who just lost Ronald Darby. So don't

539
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: don't be afraid to stream Alex Smith this week. And

540
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: speaking of streaming quarterbacks, Jared Goff Franchise, you wrote him

541
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: up as a streaming option this week. Yards one touchdown,

542
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: zero turnovers, the Sean McVeigh effect is real in Los Angeles? Baby,

543
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: do we believe in the long term success of this offense? Look?

544
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: It was Look they were playing the Colts. Okay, I

545
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: don't think we can take anything too seriously. Jared Goff,

546
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: what Jared Goff looked like a completely different quarterback than

547
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: what we saw last year. He didn't win a single

548
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: game last year. He was completely awful. He set like

549
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: horrible records of just badness last year. He's got he

550
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: seemed to be on the same page with Sammy Watkins.

551
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: He's got Cooper Cup in his back pocket. Todd Gurley

552
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: was involved as a receiver. Uh, he was slinging deep

553
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: balls with accuracy. He was firing lasers. He had I

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: think he was one of only four or five quarterbacks

555
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: to throw for over three hundred yards. He was a

556
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy quarterback. But it was all against the Colts,

557
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: and we all know their defense is less than mediocres

558
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: streaming again in week two, we are yes, But for

559
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: as much as he gets knocked for things that are

560
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: sometimes out of his control. When they talked about his

561
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: body language or he's got blonde hair or whatever it is,

562
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: then whatever thing people want to want to knock him

563
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: for I give him a lot of credit for this

564
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: game because and I was talking to m J D

565
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: earlier today and he probably said it best. He's like,

566
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: if he goes out against the Colts and does not

567
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: look good, that's a huge problem. But when you go

568
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: out and you beat the terrible teams or the teams

569
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: that are struggling, I don't want to say the Colts

570
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: are better than me. There they're quality, they're all professional,

571
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: and they're they're better than me. But I'm very good.

572
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: So that's it's. I think the point you're gonna make

573
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: is that if you go out and you beat the

574
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: teams you're supposed to beat that resoundingly, Like that's that's

575
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: a great sign. Not just put the throat on. That's

576
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: what I want, And that's that's what we want from

577
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: streamable quarterbacks, is like when you see them have a matchup,

578
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: you want them to take advantage of it. We don't

579
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: because like he absolutely we're and we're doing this before

580
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: the Monday night games. And I swear the great Season's

581
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: ghost himself, Sam, He's going to have such an awful game.

582
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna have such an awful game. And I want

583
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: you to remember Jared Goff that he went out in

584
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: a matchup that he was supposed to do well and

585
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: did well. And Sam brad I'm already calling you. Realized

586
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: we wrote about Sam Bradford and four separate articles last week.

587
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: We we do. I apologized to everybody that took our advice. Yeah,

588
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: that sucks. And I was joking around on Friday and

589
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: I either was on the show or on Facebook whatever,

590
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, everybody's so hyper on

591
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford that I should just I'm gonna put goffin.

592
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm taking Bradford out of every lineup and putting in

593
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: goth and something. Dude on Twitter like, oh, that's a

594
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: great way to do it, Like, where are you now?

595
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: Full nowhere? I just just one little note on on

596
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the Sean McVeigh effect on this Ram Ram's offense last year,

597
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was I mean, obviously we all we all

598
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: know he was not very good, but you know he

599
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: was one of the top five quarterbacks and throwing into

600
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: tight windows last year. Per Next Gen Stats, over twenty

601
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: of his attempts excuse me, twenty three point four percent

602
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: of his attempts went into tight windows, which is defined

603
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: as the receiver as a yard or less of separation. Yesterday,

604
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: he was the second lowest in percentage of attempts ten

605
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: So I think that is definitely what Sean McVeigh want.

606
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Kirk Cousins was one of the lowest percentage

607
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: of players last year, and it was just a much

608
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: better fit for perfinitely definitely better at scheming guys open,

609
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: which you could see a lot with the Cooper Cup

610
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: getting open in the middle and perfect player for that's

611
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: exactly what they needed. I think Cooper cups and we'll

612
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: get to it right now because it's gonna jump to

613
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: the wiver Cooper Cup. I didn't write him up because

614
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I wrote the article early, but it leaves him for

615
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: you for Deep Dive. But he's a good guy to

616
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: add off the Waiver Wire, especially in PPR formats. He

617
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: he does look like the real deal at offense, but uh,

618
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: waiver Way. You can read my full breakdown NFL dot

619
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Com slash Waiver Wire will also have franchises streaming options

620
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: up later today and Deep Dive from Harmon will have

621
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: them all tabbed out literally like will be an exhaustive

622
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: coverage of who you need to add for a Week

623
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: two top of the list. We already talked about him,

624
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Tarret Cohen Buck, Alan Kerwin Williams. Big names at the

625
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: running back opportunity come in their way. Chris Carson will

626
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: be a guy that should be in the mix. He

627
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: led the Seahawks backfield in snaps, which is something that

628
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: could change once Thomas Rawls comes back. But Edie Leasy

629
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: played what seven snaps? Franchise seven snaps? I think he

630
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: had five attempts for three yards, But to his credit,

631
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: the Seattle offensive line was just yeah, no, like there

632
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: was zero room to run for any of those guys.

633
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: I obviously watched that Seahawks Packers game the most closely,

634
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: and like the Packers of a decent front seven um,

635
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: but they absolutely dominated world beaters yesterday, Like I was

636
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: telling was telling you guys yesterday, the minute those Seattle

637
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: running backs got the ball, there were two or three

638
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: green jerseys in the backfield already, like nobody had a

639
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: prayer except for that one hole that Chris Carson got wide.

640
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: Receiver wise, the fantasy hype train captain Kenny Golladay is

641
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: certainly worth the pickup. The one word of cautions about

642
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: this here here, I just want to say, for the

643
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: for the listeners out there, everything that Adam Ranks about

644
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: to say is not true. All right here, let me

645
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: let me say my one caveat. It was a great

646
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: performance from Golladay. He had seven targets, two touchdowns, sixty

647
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: nine yards. However, we were wondering what happened to Marvin

648
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Jones because only saw two targets Patrick Peterson. Happened to

649
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. He covered him on thirty seven plays, allowing

650
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: just two targets, one reception six yards in the touchdown.

651
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: So we have to be a little bit cautious here.

652
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: Don't go crazy getting Golladay because if Marv Jones being

653
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: shattered by shadowed by one of the best cornerbacks in

654
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: the league, he could seriously eat into those targets that

655
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: Golliday got. By the way, they were bragging almost before

656
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: the game that Peterson was going to be on Golden

657
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: Tate and then he was on Marvin Jones. First of all,

658
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I want that, I want him to be fined for that,

659
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Like full I'm starting people because of that, Like I'm

660
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: even put out a graphic, put out a graphic, and

661
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this like, come on, I imagine

662
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: this graphic was his his team of representatives and stuff

663
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: make those for him. Just put the quote unquote number

664
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: one wide receiver, but Tate place so much in the

665
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: slot and Peterson doesn't go there, which is which is

666
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: because of God? Yeah, they put they had that, they

667
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: did eleven personnel right with the three wides, and and

668
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: they had State in the middle. And that's why he feasted.

669
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: I just I just knew that I wanted to be

670
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: excited about him in the preseason, and Harmon would not allow. See,

671
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: this is not I would never be the person to say, preseason, bro,

672
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: how dare you on the day on the day of

673
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: the death of my own son? And this is what

674
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna do to me? All right? Two more guys

675
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: to get too on the way. Hold on, my god,

676
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: you're not done yet. We know because listen, I talked

677
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: earlier in the show that Mike lay besmirched me by

678
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: saying I would rather have Goladay over over Cohen. Is

679
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: it crazy to think? And this is the legitimate debate

680
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: I want to have if I'm looking for a wide

681
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: receiver today on the way a wire and this is

682
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: my hot take and whatever, write it down. You can

683
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: come get me in Week fourteen. Already a little so excited.

684
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: I would rather have Cooper Cup over agree. I don't

685
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: care who knows, because Cooper Cup is gonna play more. Okay,

686
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: if I can present the counterpoint, and you know, I

687
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: do think that Holiday has a higher weekly ceiling than

688
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup probably does. If he continues to build momentum

689
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: in an offense that I think is still gonna be

690
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: better than the Rams, is going to be more past heavy.

691
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he was right up there with players like

692
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, A J. Green, Trell prior Mari Cooper des

693
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: Bryant in percentage of his team air yards at thirty

694
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: seven point seven. So he's gonna still be out there

695
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: catching passes in tight windows like that. I mean, this

696
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: is a player that you know, I like Marvin Jones enough,

697
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: but I think this could be the ex receiver that

698
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: they have needed since Calvin Johnson has been gone. So

699
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: but my counter to your counterplane, okay, counters that they

700
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: put Patrick Peterson on Marvin Jones and really and this

701
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: started last year where Marvin Jones had a great first

702
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and then the teams were looking at

703
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: film and they're like, oh, yeah, Marvin Jones is their

704
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: best receiver. Let's shut him down and we'll we'll just

705
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: let Golden Tate work under the middle or work over

706
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: the middle or whatever, and we're just gonna take Marvin Jones.

707
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: And it really worked, like it really took him out

708
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: of it. Matthew Stafford did not have a great statistical

709
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: season because of it, at least week to week. I know,

710
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: from fantasy purposes, at what point do they say, you

711
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: know what, let's take out Goladay. It's a good question

712
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: and we will get a good test of that next

713
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: week on Monday Night football. Uh, they played the Giants

714
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: who have Genor Jenkins, who is like a is a

715
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: pretty good shutdown question that would be a great list

716
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: let miss test for this group. And just to wrap

717
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: it up, a couple of other guys on the wairooard

718
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: to consider Nelson are actually had had a great game

719
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: and uh, he's playing primarily in the slot. Looks to

720
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: be one of Wentz his favorite targets, but he's getting

721
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: deep downfield. To let out, you're not allowed, Uh, we

722
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: as a fantasy community and NFL, we're not allowed to

723
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: from by the way, I didn't have Nelson Agalore on

724
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: this list because I have him on so many teams

725
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: that already, Yeah, you were kind of pound on the

726
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: table form at the end of the season. I got

727
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: a lot of hype and delivered, and he's the offseason

728
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: drum beatin. I think when they shipped George Matthews out,

729
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: Harmon and I were both in. I've been on that one.

730
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: I've been trying to die on the Nelson Aghore is

731
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: good at hill for like three years now, so you

732
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: know that that gift of like the guy just climbing

733
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: out of the grave, that is that is me right now.

734
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: And tight ends Austin Hooper, Yes, he only had two catches,

735
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: uh and one was that massive play, but he played

736
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: a ton of snaps. Office is going to be a

737
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: good touchdown upside guy every week, which as we saw

738
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: tight end this weekend, that's really all you need for

739
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: them to be a stops on tight end. But the

740
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: guy we were talking about at the end of last week,

741
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: Chuck Clay, that's who else was gonna mentions. Also was

742
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna mention because he led the team in targets. He's

743
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: the only player that Tyrod Taylor has any consistency with

744
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a constant threat in the

745
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: red zone. They get Carolina next week, who should be

746
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: better against tight ends now that Luke Kickley is healthy.

747
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: But they did give up five catches for just twenty

748
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: seven yards to George Kittle. George Kittle, by the way,

749
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: on the field play, that's a legit player. Though. Yeah,

750
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: I honestly um because that would that would keep me

751
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: from listing Chuck Clay as one of the sleepers this week.

752
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: But Kittle somebody going forward like you're gonna he's gonna

753
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: be dynasty leagues. Yeah, definitely grab him, keepy streaming worthy.

754
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to target and touch leaders. Why

755
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: don't we start with franchise take us through some of

756
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways. A couple of takeaways from the backfield

757
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: distribution lads again again, you guys can read this entire article,

758
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: and I advise you to at NFL dot com slash

759
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: touches targets and in the middle touch his targets. Look,

760
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: we talked about Leonard four Nett. He got a huge

761
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: workload that's probably going to continue going forward. Uh. Todd

762
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: Gurley in a blowout had twenty four touches. Little concerned

763
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: about his efficiency. I think he averaged under three three

764
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: yards per carry, which he should have had more considering

765
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: the volume and the matchup. He did get the touchdown.

766
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: I think he was still a top ten fantasy running back,

767
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: but yards per carry Twitter might come out to get him. Uh,

768
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: let's see what else? What else we got here? I

769
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: mean la Garrett Blunt had a receiving touchdown. He was

770
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: vastly outsnapped by Darren Sprowles. But if Darren Sprowles isn't

771
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: getting looks in the red zone, like, he's barely worth

772
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: owning outside of full point PPR leagues. Um uh. Time

773
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: Montgomery played eighty nine snaps, he is a true feature

774
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: back there. He caught four all four of his targets.

775
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Obviously is a converted wide out. He's got good hands, dude,

776
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: this guy he got it out of good performance against

777
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: a great defense. Yeah. Man, against the Seahawks who just

778
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: got Sheldon Richardson on their d line like they have

779
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses of the league. And time

780
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: Montgomery was was cooking and Jamal Williams only got two

781
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: carries I think for nine yards. But he's he's a

782
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: waiver wire guy until we see time Montgomery start to

783
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: stall out because this is his backfield. A couple other takeaways.

784
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Leve Bell did not do well against the Browns punishment

785
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: for the whole time. I saw a narrative like punished

786
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: all their punishing. LEVI on Bell A team is not

787
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: gonna go out. But what I think it might be

788
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: is maybe he's got a little rust to knock off.

789
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: He didn't get any snaps in the preseason. I think

790
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: with another full week of you know, practice with his team,

791
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: with his full offense back there, he's gonna he is

792
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back in no time. Major takeaways for me,

793
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: May I say something about Levian Bell? Yes, you may.

794
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: I just because I just noticed this on Twitter. I

795
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: was going to look, this is the thing like you

796
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: tweeted out that thing one day. I think there's a

797
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we're like twitters, like the room

798
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: you go into. Yeah, I'm going into the kitchen and

799
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: get a diet pepsi and then the next thing, you know,

800
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: you gotta play full and notchos. You're like what happened?

801
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: For I was coming to look up something and then

802
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: I noticed this kid, this Eagles fan from Brazil, and

803
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: like he's like, hey, somebody offered me Nuke Copkins and

804
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Marshaw Lane, which is fine for Levian Bell. And I'm like,

805
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: I cannot delete that. I cannot delete that enough, like nope, nope, nope, nope,

806
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: don't don't let the Jackals come in for Levy on Bell.

807
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: And as good as Nuke looked and Marshawn was trucking

808
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: fools and that was great, It's like Levan Bell could

809
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: possibly And if David Johnson misses any time, there's a

810
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: great chance that Levian Bell ends up as the number

811
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: one fantasy running back. Do not trade him. Although if

812
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: you want to be the aggressor and you want to

813
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: pray on the people who are a little disappointed about

814
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: how bad he was, I just have two more things

815
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: that I'm saying. That's okay. I said I was done,

816
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: but I noticed a couple other quick Cleveland Brown's backfield,

817
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: Isaiah Kral got a ton of volume but didn't do

818
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: much with it efficiency wise. Kind of concerning the other

819
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: big takeaway here, Duke Johnson didn't have a single snap

820
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: out of the back. That's crazy. He's a full blown

821
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: slot receiver that was not Duke Johnson. And then Cincinnati's

822
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: backfield was just a disaster against the Ravens. It was

823
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: a blowout. Joe Mixon I think had eight carries for

824
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: nine yards and Jioe Bernard led that backfield in rushing yards,

825
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: which I don't think anyone So it's it's an absolute

826
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: mess for right now, Harmon take us through some of

827
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: the big takeaways and target distribution and what we learned

828
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: from that today or on Sunday. So Amari Cooper was

829
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: kind of one of the bigger stories for me. He

830
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: had forty two point five eight percent of the Raiders

831
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: intended air yards almost decimal points right. I don't know

832
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: why they display it that way on the on the

833
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: stilt dashboard. It's weird, but anyways, Uh, he almost doubled

834
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: microL Crabtree in that in that sense. He also drew

835
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: four red zone targets, which is what we're all whining

836
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: about with a MARII Cooper. Uh, there was one series,

837
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: I think it was the second time they were down

838
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: in scoring position where he and car whiffed on all

839
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: three of those attempts, one of which, yeah, that was rough,

840
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: one of which was definitely tipped. I think tipped at

841
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: the line, which was there's an issue. The the first

842
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: one was kind of high end outside and hard thrown

843
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: at him. So I'm not like too bummed in that

844
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: one on the numbers. Cooper, Yeah, he walks right in,

845
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: like I know people, you know drops Twitter was out

846
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: there about it. But but uh and then the but

847
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: the second one though, I do think, uh, that was

848
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: just a failed contested catch attempt. And that's something that

849
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: I've noted with the Mari Cooper in reception perceptions, He's

850
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: consistently been under the league average and contested catch rate,

851
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: but still thirteen targets. That was really encouraging to see

852
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: that that they might really be intent on making him

853
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: the funnel wide receiver of this offense, which would be

854
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: great news for his fantasy stock. Doubling back to the

855
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, Corey Coleman led the team and targets. He

856
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: was another one, got like a slant route there at

857
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: the goal line, scored a touch tight catch on that

858
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: TV right catch because he got blasted. He led the

859
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: He led the team in percent in air yards share

860
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: twenty one point nine percent. UH and Deshaun Kaiser by

861
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: the way. He was fourteen for fifteen on passes that

862
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: traveled less than ten yards in the air pass or

863
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: rating six for fifteen on ten plus air yard passes.

864
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: Obviously thirty eight point two pass rating much less effective.

865
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: But um, I know a lot of the fantasy community

866
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: was really wanting to chase Kenny Britt as a volume

867
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: play in this offense. But in the preseason Corey Coleman

868
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: was Deshaun Kaiser's guy and that kind of continued into

869
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: Week one. Had a brutal drop on Sunday too, that

870
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: would have converted like a second in nineteen. That's not

871
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: going to help his connection. Yeah, he did some some

872
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Kenny Kenny Britt like things. So I mean, I'm I

873
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: don't know how available Corey Coleman is in in many leagues,

874
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: and it was draft stock really slipped after offseason injuries,

875
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: but he might be a great lottery ticket. I met

876
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: it round Steele. I mentioned John Brown was out there

877
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: a lot twent the air yards in in UH in Arizona,

878
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: So he looks like he's dialed in and the Tennessee

879
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps UH Corey Davis was third on the

880
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: team in percentage of team team air yards, but he

881
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: did leave the team and targets had sixty nine receiving yards.

882
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: Very nice. Um. He also lad the lad the pass

883
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: catchers in average separation on his targets three point four yards. UM.

884
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: That was much more than everybody else. Uh So the

885
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: question to me, and I'd actually wonder what you guys

886
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: think about this. Davis is too good of a talent

887
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: to me to remain the third wide receiver in the

888
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: pecking order. I know he's coming off preseason injury, but

889
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: eventually's gonna get there. And he looked fantastic on his

890
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: catches on on Sunday. So does he usurp the familiarity

891
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: of Richard Matthews because that chemistry was still there, or

892
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: does he take snaps from the higher pedigreed Eric Decker,

893
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: who did see three red zone targets on Sunday as

894
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: he is want to do. I'm more concerned about Decker.

895
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: Haven't rewatched that game. They tried to get him in

896
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: the mix, but it just wasn't there. Like you said,

897
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: that chemistry, Mariotta trust's Richard Matthews. He made some tough

898
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: catches on on on Sunday. And I also think that

899
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: Matthews does will also be a good deep threat. He's

900
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: still younger, he still got some speed. He proved he

901
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: could do that last year. So I would be more

902
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: concerned about Decker. Uh would We'll just have to see

903
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: how it shakes out, because you're you're absolutely right. In

904
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: that limited work Corey Davis had, he looked incredible and

905
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I loved how they used him up and down the field.

906
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: And he can be effective in the red zone too,

907
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: once that becomes part of his game. And I think

908
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: for right now, um, I know Eric Decker's game is

909
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: it's red zone and that's really not you know what

910
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: they kind of bring him in for. But you already

911
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: have Delaney Walker. Do you have a strong running game.

912
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: It's like, do we really need to force this guy in?

913
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: So that would make me believe that he ends up

914
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: being the guy who gets the short end of the second.

915
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't know, and they I know it's different

916
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: because real football doesn't operate like baseball or anything else

917
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: like that. It was like, I wish like the Bear

918
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: and I know that's saying this is a Bears family.

919
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, oh, this guy's from Naperville. We'll

920
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: guess what I'm from, Shaun Berksy are all wrong. But

921
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I wish the Bears would just call

922
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: up Tennessee and be like, you obviously don't need Eric Decker.

923
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Can we just take him? Like we need somebody that

924
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: would be great? Like that would be a perfect like

925
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: that's a perfect like a baseball type of thing, like yeah, yeah,

926
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: there's a player, yea, we need him, We'll bring in.

927
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: And the Titans have Taiwan Taylor, another rookie that they

928
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: drafted who was awesome this preseason. I think he was

929
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: a really good prospect, but so actuable advice from the

930
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: targets and touches thing. I would sniff around the Corey

931
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Davis and Corey col pair. Corris there, uh those the

932
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: owners there, see if maybe he could call they do

933
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: not know what they have on their hands. Maybe do

934
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: some by low offers, because I mean, this is what

935
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: Week one is all about, Like what did we see

936
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: that is the new reality? What did we see that

937
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: that is uh, you know not like is it just

938
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: a mirage? I think those two guys could be legit

939
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: up and comers. I'd read the whole thing in NFL

940
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: dot Com slash touches and target touches targets. Excuse me,

941
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: I think we also have an NFL dot Com slash targets.

942
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: But now we turn over to the new segment, Chris's

943
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: Chargers Corner. Chris, what insight do you have for us

944
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: tonight in the Chargers for opening season game against the Broncos. Yeah, well,

945
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: I think this Chargers offense in general is gonna be

946
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: fantasy goal throughout the year. But when you talk about

947
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: tonight specifically, I talked to Rex Ryan on our Chargers

948
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: podcast last week and he said, we're gonna see that

949
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: was that was that was pretty sick eight no, but

950
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: but honestly, he said, we we haven't seen the true

951
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn running game yet, and I think we're gonna

952
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: see that tonight. They're gonna want to run the football.

953
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: I think Denver was twenty eight against the run last year,

954
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: So if you can, if you can run on the

955
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: Broncos tonight, um another matchup. I like his Hunter Henry.

956
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: I think Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates are gonna be

957
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: the key to Tonight's game because you got that no

958
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: fly zone secondary locking up those receivers. I still think

959
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: you start Keenan Allen regardless. Um, but but I think

960
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry could have a really big game. He at

961
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: six catches eighty three yards in a touch against the

962
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: Broncos and that Ursday night game last year. So yeah,

963
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: so I think Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry the two guys

964
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: I'm I got eyes on. I really like Gordon. That

965
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: Broncos defense is an incredible unit. But last year year

966
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: about right, they were susceptible to the run. And Derek

967
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: Wolfe right now, one of their best interior defensive line novels,

968
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: dealing with an ankle injury, said he was only about

969
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: healthy just last week. So fire up, Melvin Gordon, don't

970
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: worry about it all right thoas Chris's Chargers corner. I

971
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: like that to bring that back every week. Cute little

972
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully you can keep the name drops though with starting

973
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: out with Rex Ryan. Yeah, you really set the big fish,

974
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna run over two rushing yards and

975
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: he had he had good games against him last year.

976
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably not. I'm gonna breeze through the top

977
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: performers and the biggest disappointments that there's anybody that you

978
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: three have a huge take on on this pause me

979
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: and we'll stop. But otherwise we'll just get through this

980
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: take on everything so everybody knows what's up. We'll get

981
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: to day the DEPPS Top quarterback performers. Stafford, as we mentioned,

982
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, one pick yards and of course Alex Smith

983
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: with that epic Thursday Night performance wide receiver. Well, I

984
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to stop you right after,

985
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: but I've been highly critical of Matthew Stafford in the

986
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: past because I had him last year in his week

987
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: the week awful like it, it crushes you. You look

988
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, you're like good stop

989
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: ten quarterback, but week to week it was tough to

990
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: live with. I really will I really, I mean for

991
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: his sake, and I really enjoy watching Matthew Stafford play,

992
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: even that he's a lion. But I really hope that

993
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: this is a a trend that comes its continuity of

994
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: except for twice a year, the continuity of him his

995
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: receiver's head coach and coordinator. Now it was really awesome.

996
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: You're learning two and a half season. So, speaking of which,

997
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay top score Antonio Brown doing Antonio Brown things,

998
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: eleven catches hundred eighty two yards on eleven targets. He

999
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: was good running back wise, Cream Hunt, Mike Gillessly obviously,

1000
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette we mentioned, and Torry Cohen uh sixty six

1001
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, forty seven receiving in a touch,

1002
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: John Fox fever dream baby yea too headed running back.

1003
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: Tight end Wise, Austin Hooper led tight ends with his

1004
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: Hunter twenty yards and a touchdown. Jesse James of all

1005
00:47:53,239 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: people caught two touchdowns stealers, Oh you didn't know somebody

1006
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: and zach Ertz, as we all expected, didn't get in

1007
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: the end zone. But eight receptions on eight targets from

1008
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: ninety three yards was a phenomenal start in PPR if

1009
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: you played that format. Biggest disappointments, Oh dear god, Andy

1010
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: Dalton hundred seventy yards, no touchdowns, four picks and a fumble.

1011
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: The jokes in James, I don't know if I saw

1012
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: me tweet this late last night, and James co six

1013
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: fourth scoring that we have in the NFL Fantasy Live

1014
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: league that we're all a part of. Dalton got me

1015
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: negative eleven points. You know what, I had him another

1016
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: league have me negative three. If you started Andrew Lucky

1017
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: you we have been better off. Thanks Pal. Russell Wilson

1018
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: also a disappointment. Just a hundred fifty eight yards through

1019
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: the air, was constantly under arrest. Managed forty rushing yards

1020
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: to help save the day a little bit, but not great.

1021
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: Running back wise, Lacy five carries three yards, Puke lev

1022
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: Bell ten carries thirty two yards, three receptions fifteen yards.

1023
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: Where are all those touches? Joe Joe punishment bro Joe

1024
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: Mixon as you mentioned, eight carries for nine yards, three

1025
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: for fifteen. That backfield is sad wide Receiver wise, Martavis

1026
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: Bryant six targets to matches fourteen yards. What happened to

1027
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: the alien? He didn't he he has some rust and yeah, yeah,

1028
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: he had some rust, and I think they tried getting

1029
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: him some screens and he was He was out there

1030
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: for the majority of their place. So I think in

1031
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: games where they need to open it up a little more,

1032
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm fine with Brian Calvin Benjamin in a game and

1033
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: a matchup. We all thought expecting him to smash in

1034
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: five targets, one catch yards. Let me raising your finger,

1035
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: what's the takeaway here? Let me jump in on on

1036
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: this one. I My bold prediction this week was that

1037
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin was gonna be a top eight Fantasy receiver.

1038
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: Not quite just a little bit outside on that one.

1039
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: But you mentioned smashing, and I think the biggest, the

1040
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: biggest culprit here is the fact that the Panthers really

1041
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: controlled this game against the four Uniners. Like I mentioned,

1042
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: watched this one really closely because I gotta say, guys, yes,

1043
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: I think I might be I might let the Panthers

1044
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: back into my heart. I love. I mean, obviously Christian

1045
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is feeling. Is that, Yeah, the christ McCaffrey, My god,

1046
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: I mean, McCaffrey is the biggest catalyst of it. But

1047
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: this defense is so much fun, and I think just

1048
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: the fact that they they really controlled this game was

1049
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: a big issue there. One big play in the past

1050
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: game was a play too kind of a sneaky, sneaky guy,

1051
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: Russell Shepard, who wasn't out there very only the players,

1052
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: but I mean, he's he's a guy that I know

1053
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: a lot of the reporters down there in Carolina are

1054
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: really high on. But Calvin Benjamin still garnered thirty four

1055
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: point nine percent of the team's intended are yards that

1056
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: was a top ten mark from week one, so I

1057
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: think the opportunity is there, And not to mention like

1058
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: it's so crazy that the Panthers controlled this game and

1059
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton probably looked like I would say shaky at

1060
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: best in the first half, especially of I think once

1061
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: this passing game really moves along, um, that that that

1062
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: that they will be going up. God, I'm really excited

1063
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: about this Pan's offense. I mean, they ran the hell

1064
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: out of the ball. Oh, it was so much fun.

1065
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: I loved that play where they used McCaffrey as a

1066
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: decoy and threw the ball to Jay Stones. They ran

1067
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: the ball forty US times this game, and I think,

1068
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously ideal game script against four ninners, but

1069
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: this could be the type of formula we're looking at

1070
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 1: from from them, which is really a lot to didn't

1071
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: touching up. But jay Stone McCaffrey both going to be

1072
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: weekly plays. I think they're going to get a ton

1073
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: of work, and both being the mix of near the

1074
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: goal line may and again, this is what I would

1075
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: expect out of Cohen and Howard. For anybody who's concerned comparison,

1076
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: it's obviously Cohen is not the dynamic player doesn't have

1077
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: the pedigree of Christian McCaffrey, but he's good. He's he's

1078
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: a poor man's version of it. The only the only

1079
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: thing I would say, they're he's smaller and he's electric,

1080
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: but he can He's not going to be like the

1081
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: I think McCaffrey could once Stewart has gone, could be

1082
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: a feature back. I don't know if I see from

1083
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: from Cohen and that's that's a completely fair assessment. I'm

1084
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: just saying that the way that the NFL is now,

1085
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: and I know it's not how it was five years

1086
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: ago and even a decade ago. Um, you just find

1087
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: good players and find ways to get him on the

1088
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: field and try to get the most out of him.

1089
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: And you're the bands and you have like you have Jordan,

1090
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: and you're like, that's it. I like and I like

1091
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: Bill Bellamy. The only the only difference here that I

1092
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: would know because he dropped that, but like he's he's

1093
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: the one at the end of the game who should

1094
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: have caught that ball, Like should have caught that First

1095
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: of all, he got lit up number one, number two,

1096
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: he was not in the end zone. It would have

1097
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: been short and they would have lost valuable time. They

1098
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 1: might not break a tackle because Glenning threw the ball

1099
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: behind him, like lead him a little bit. Whatever. The

1100
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: only difference between these two offenses is that I think

1101
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: Caroline is gonna be a legitimate playoff contender this year,

1102
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: which means they will be able to be on the

1103
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: game scripts that they can feed both of these backs

1104
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: and the Bears. I do not. I think the Bears

1105
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: are gonna They're sorry that the Bear going to be. Oh,

1106
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: I swear to They're going to be the type of

1107
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: team that can close, that can play close games, and

1108
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: like they won't be just giving up a ton of

1109
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points on defense. They'll play good, good defense, but

1110
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be They're not gonna be better than

1111
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: than six and ten. I feel completely confident in saying that,

1112
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: and therefore they will get bumped off game scripts that

1113
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: we're going to feed a player like Jordan Howard, which

1114
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: is why I think it's fair to be nervous about

1115
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: him while still being excited about Trek and whereas in Carolina,

1116
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: I think you can consider both these guys weekly place.

1117
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: Because I think the Pants are gonna have like the

1118
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: best rushing offense in the league, playing the Falcons, the

1119
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: defending NFC champions, and they did not suffering a Super

1120
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: Bowl hangover. I know a thing or two about hangovers,

1121
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: and that was a Super Bowl hangover. All right, end

1122
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: cut him off. Tight end disappointments. Big names in this list.

1123
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham three catches, eight yards w TFC Hawks. He

1124
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: should have dominated the Packers. I mean, if you don't

1125
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: tackle him when he's going up for a touchdown reception,

1126
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: it was fair play. Okay, we don't need to get

1127
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: in it. There was they let those boys play because

1128
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: there was another one where the dB they didn't call it.

1129
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: I listen, I I will, Yes, you're okay, but that's

1130
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: that's a that's a reasonable Yes, you're being reasonable and rational.

1131
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: There were Packer fans who are like that wasn't catchable.

1132
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, you can say, like you can literally was catchable.

1133
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: I think I think let him play because the and

1134
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: that's fine. Dem did turn around and then Graham also

1135
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: like just through the team that get into the ground,

1136
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, I think the ref is just

1137
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: like whatever, fine, I'm fine with all of that, Like

1138
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: you can it's but I just I don't like when

1139
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: you're like that ball wasn't catch like just say like

1140
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: they're letting him play, Like fine, you're right, no complaint

1141
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: though it was we got away with one. It's cooled like.

1142
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: And I told this kid on Twitter, He's like, oh,

1143
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: you can't tell by the angle in the trajectory. And

1144
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: I go, I have a mathematics degree from cal State

1145
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Fuller ten. And he goes, what does math have to

1146
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: do with it. I'm like, you just said angle in

1147
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: trajectory like you just that's not math, that's science. Bro.

1148
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: Hunch you in the face. Greg Olsen to catches eighteen yards.

1149
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron breakout train starts out slowly, but the Cardinals

1150
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: always shut down tight ends. Just two catches nine yards

1151
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: for him. Jordan Reed five receptions thirty six yards. That

1152
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: Washington offense at least that passing attack a little worrisome

1153
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: right now. Five receptions was still like the fourth most,

1154
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: tied for fourth most among tight ends. It was just

1155
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: a bad, bad tight end with get yourself a tight

1156
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: end who can score touchdowns. That's all you need, all right,

1157
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: And as always, will round out your show with daily depths. Franchise,

1158

Speaker 1: start us off. You got for a dept. First of all,

Speaker 1: first responders, everyone all over the country today remembering that.

1162
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: On a more positive note, Uh, I watched the first

1163
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: episode of this series called The Defiant Ones on HBO

1164
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: with Iovine and Dr Dre. That first episode blew my mind. Dude. Yeah,

1165
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: I got on like two or three into it. But

1166
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: Iovine took this song that Bruce Springsteen didn't want to

1167
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 1: put on board and run and ended up being Patti

1168
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: Smith's biggest hit, like what and I Have means like

1169
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,200

Speaker 1: that the kids are great. Um, it's a really good

1202
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: retelling of the story. If you're familiar with it. It

1203
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: jumps back and forth between the kids and adults. And

1204
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: they're doing this movie in two parts. The first one

1205
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: just focuses on the kids. This second movie, hopefully it

1206
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: comes out soon, we'll focus on the adults. But it

1207
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: was fantastic. It was super enjoyable, and uh, I recommend

1208
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: everybody go see it. Never gonna see it too scared? Yeah,

1209
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,880

1210
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: all right, Adam Rank close us out. I'm gonna I'm

1211
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna piggyback on something that franchise was talking about about

1212
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: the nine eleven because, uh, two weeks ago, I was

1213
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: in New York for Good Morning Football and I take

1214
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of time. I wanted to go down

1215
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: and see the memorial. Went to o' harris. Would you recommended,

1216
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: which I would highly recommend you go and do and

1217
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: and going to the memorial, it's obviously very well done.

1218
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: It's very tasteful, which is the most important thing. It's

1219
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: it's similar um to like the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor,

1220
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: where it's like it's it's a great memorial and it's

1221
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: a great tone and it's not cheesy, which is the

1222
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: one thing that you really do. It's it's it's so

1223
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: incredibly well done and one of the things I wanted

1224
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: to do. And they have the names of all the victims,

1225
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: and I would just just was like, I just want

1226
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: to kind of see if I can find Ace Bailey

1227
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: and Mark Baptist, two former L. A. King's employees who

1228
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: were on a flight coming back to Los Angeles when

1229
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: they were you know, where they lost their lives, and

1230
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, come walking around and I'm like, and

1231
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: you can kind of see where the plane victims are,

1232
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: so you're like, okay, some kind of cheating, so I'll

1233
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: be able to find them easily. And there's an American

1234
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: flag sticking out of out of somebody's name and it

1235
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: was as Bailey like, I don't I don't know why

1236
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: it was there, and it was part of it. I

1237
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: was kind of like, well, he's Canadian, but it's just

1238
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I kind of want to go find

1239
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,919
Speaker 1: a Canadian flag and sitting there, But it was cool

1240
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: that somebody for whatever reason, and I asked, somebody, go,

1241
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: why it's not his birthday, it's not any significant memorial

1242
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: for him, But he just said, you know what, some

1243
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: people just they purchase these things and they see somebody's

1244
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: name and they're just compelled. So that somebody saw A. S.

1245
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: Bailey's name and wanted to put it on there was

1246
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:40,959
Speaker 1: really cool. So I'm gonna end on that. I would

1247
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: I would just say, like, if you've never been, the

1248
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: memorial is a well well worth the trip. It's uh,

1249
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: as you said, it's really well done. But it's also

1250
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: just it's striking to see the law symboli is just

1251
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: in the fact that the skyscraper isn't there. You walk

1252
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: through New York and just skyscraper, skyscraper, skyscraper, and you

1253
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: walk into that negative space where the Twin Towers to stand,

1254
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: there's a memorial and it's just it takes it literally

1255
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: takes your breath away. And then now they have the

1256
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Freedom Tower nextra it, so you can kind of get

1257
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: the scope of how tall these buildings two of them, yes,

1258
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: and you're looking and you're just kind of it's it's incredible.

1259
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: And then O'Hara is the pub you mentioned is a

1260
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: pub next door. The first time I went to the

1261
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Memorial was when we were there for the draft, and uh,

1262
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: my dad's a firefighter, sarcials like I just I need

1263
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: a drink. Afterwards, I went to a Harrison's, a pub

1264
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: that was destroyed when the towers came down, and then

1265
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: they rebuilt it and they have um a phenomenal photo

1266
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: book that they're willing to share, and they have servicemen

1267
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: and women from all walks come in and when they

1268
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: come they bring a patch and they'll take the patch

1269
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: off the uniform and put them in the wall. So

1270
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: there's My dad went with my mom to New York

1271
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: last Christmas and I told him about it, so they

1272
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: went there and he put up his patch from being

1273
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: a firefighter on the wall too. So really cool. But yeah,

1274
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: make make the trip to Memorial if you've never been.

1275
