00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna hate about instead of instead of just hating. Honest,

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: how about you take a look at our rosters and

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: being the fantasy analysts that you are, breakdown my line

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: up there on the left side as you face your

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: computer screener TV fabs on the right. So Drew Brees

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: or Peyton Manning Brees against the Falcons at home Manning

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: versus the Bangalscine. Well, I'm gonna tell you this. I

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: know hater is gonna hate, hate, hate like Swiss send,

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna tell you right now, I can't hate

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: on your your quarterback. Drew Brees against Peyton Manning I like.

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: I like Drew Brees going up against Atlanta Falcon. That's

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna be easy money right there, easy points for for

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. Mark Ingram against the Marco Murray. I

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: know Murray's got that question mark on him. I'm still

36
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: going to Marco Murray than Eddie Lazy Marshawn Lynch. You

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you clearly win that one against the Cardinals, wins that one.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton against Jordy Nelson, I like Jordie Nelson

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: over t Y Hilton, Calvin, Calvin Johnson, Aushon Jeffrey. Of course, Calvin,

40
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: I gave them to you. Thank you. You're welcome to him. Yes,

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: I get them to Calvin Johnson was running back in

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: the Kelsey Jordan read this is an interesting one, but

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Kelsey on that one. Kelsey wins

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: that one. Calvin Benjamin, Julio Jones and all of that.

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: All of that is why, FABS, you're going to win

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: this week, because it does appear you have things favor me, don't.

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: I'll just quickly say it's one of the reasons why

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: I put together that roster, and we talked about it

49
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: every year. I always look to the postseason for favorable

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: matchups and look, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This week,

51
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: just tell them who your first waver claim is. By

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: the way, my first waver it will be Joe Randall

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: as much as that killed me. If DeMarco's will play,

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: that's the move to make it play defense, smart play defense. Alright,

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: moving on, as Championship Week is here, it is win

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: or go home. So FABS, give us a player that

57
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: you are benching this week. You're in a lot of leagues.

58
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there was somebody you actively are benching and

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: you're going to the waiver wire to fill the spot. Yeah,

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: and that's Philip Rivers. I can't trust him anymore. How

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: did you get to the championship game with Philip? Because

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the rest of my team is ridiculous. I'm actually playing

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: my buddy Nick McKay, who used to be with NFL

64
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: dot Com years ago, way back in the day. But

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Rivers is one touchdown pass a fewer and five of

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: his last six games he's playing the Niners. They've allowed

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: the fourth twist fantasy points to quarterbacks in the last

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: four weeks. And honestly, I'm dropping Rivers. I'm gonna pick

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: up I don't believe I'm gonna say this, Robert from

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the Third or Alex Smith. I don't trust Rivers. I've

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: also got Ryan Tannehill, but I don't trust him either.

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: So I like the Alex Smith one. I'm going potentially

73
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith in this matchup, and we are going

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: to get two favorable matchups for your Championship Week. I

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: have a feeling Alex Smith probably gonna make an appearance

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: there because it is a good matchup far somebody that

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: you are not going to play this week, that Johnny

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: for value, Okay, Josh Gordon, Josh you should yeah, you know,

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon great talent and you shouldn't mistaken that. But

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation there is just shaky for Josh Gordon.

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: We saw Johnny Manziel, he just looked confused and rightly so.

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: He's a rookie and I think every world was anticipating

83
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: that the spectacular plays with all of a sudden step

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: over and if it does step over, it does. It

85
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: does take away from Josh gordon abillity because his ability

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: to improvises what Johnny Manziel is going to lean on.

87
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: He was targeted four times in this game. That's clearly

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: not enough for your top wide receiver against a really

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: good matchup. You had to get Josh Gordon the ball

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: way more and Johnny Manziel won't be able to feed him.

91
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Mention this week. No man him against the Panthers, I believe, right, yeah, no, no,

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: no love for Josh Gordon. I want to make sure

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: that's right. It is plenty more of our top starts

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: and seats later in the show, but for the latest

95
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: NFL News over to Marcus Grant and Adam Rank. Thank

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: you money. We're here is always getting the caught up

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: all the latest news and notes from around the National

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Football League. We will start with the big news in Dallas.

99
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: On Monday, Cowboys running back to Marco Murray underwent surgery

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: on his hand. Murray broke a bone in his left

101
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: hand during the fourth quarter of the teams win Sunday

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: night against the Eagles. On Monday, Cowboys executive VP Stephen

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Jones told Serious x in radio that it will be

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: in quote uphill battle for Murray to play Sunday against

105
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: the Colt But on Tuesday, owner Jerry Jones said that

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: it's not unrealistic that De Marco plays so amidst this

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: family squabble we have going on in Dallas. If you

108
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: have DeMarco Murray, what are you doing right now? Exactly

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: what money is gonna do? Go up and pick up

110
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Joey Randall. Whether you hold De Marco Murray or not,

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you should still at least play a little bit of

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: defense by by grabbing him. And of course Jerry Jones

113
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: is gonna come out he he doesn't want the Colts

114
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: to be able to just game plan for him not

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: being there, So you gotta keep a little air of mystery,

116
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: which is what they're doing right now. I just think

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you're dr Jones was going with his rub some dirt

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: on it diagnosis and said, work with Tony Romo. Hey, yeah, absolutely,

119
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: he's been all right. Then the Chargers announced tusday in

120
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: a aistion to an ankle injury. Wide receiver Keenan Allen

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: broke his collarbone against the Broncos. The Chargers face the

122
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: forty Niners on Saturday. That's here on NFL Network. So

123
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: without Keenan Allen, what happens to this Charger's offense. It

124
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of a hit. But if you're

125
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: looking for a replacement, I'd look at Eddie Royal. They'll

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: probably design a couple of plays for him. He's the

127
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: number one. I would put him slightly ahead of Malcolm

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Floyd in this instance. Yeah, but you still have Antonio

129
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Gates there that also in the mix, also in the

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: mix to absolutely we moved to Atlanta. Now for some

131
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: more wide receiver news, Falcons coach Mike Smith says he's

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: confident receiver Julio Jones will play Week sixteen against the Saints.

133
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Jones miss last Sunday's matchup due to a hip injury

134
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: he's suffered against the Packers. And week four teen, if

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: Julio is able to suit up and go for the Falcons,

136
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: do you have any hesitation about starting him this week?

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Not at all. I would get him into the lineup,

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: although if you are holding onto Jones, make sure that

139
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: you have Harry Douglas on your roster. Brother Julio plays

140
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: or not, this could end up being a game kind

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: of decision over the weekend, So you want to make

142
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: sure you have a little bit of an insurance police

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: in case that's not the in case that's not you know, accurate.

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: And I think we'll talk a little bit about Harry

145
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Douglas in the next plot. And if he was targeted

146
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot, he was targeted a lot, And would you

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: think about going outside of Atlanta, maybe at Charles Johnson

148
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. You know what, I really like

149
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: the matchup, so I'd stick with Douglas. He did well

150
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: enough last week to show me that when he's given

151
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and he's shown over the course of his career,

152
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: when he's given the opportunity, he can go out and

153
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: perform and against this Saints defense, which shut down the

154
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Bears on Monday Night. But you know that they can

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: shut You can score a lot of points on that defense.

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: And I think your point about Douglas is right because

157
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: last year and even this year, he's stepped in, He's

158
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: played very well. He's a great Yeah, he's a great

159
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: replacement guy. He's above Yeah, he's above the normal replacement.

160
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: There you go. Washington quarterback Colt McCoy has been placed

161
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: on injured reserve with a neck injury. Washington will start

162
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third against the Eagles on Saturday. Griffin

163
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: field in last week after McCoy re aggravated his neck

164
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: in Archie. Three had his best game of the year,

165
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: throw for two hundred and thirty six and a touchdown.

166
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: So which player in his Washington offense benefits the most

167
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: Griffin or because Griffin, I should say, is getting the

168
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: start again r G three himself. He went out against

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. The Giants made him look like an actual

170
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback again. The same could happen this week against

171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who have been very giving to NFL quarterbacks

172
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: this season. And if you need a receiver, though, if

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you're looking for somebody who's going to target the most,

174
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: I would say de Sean Jackson probably is the guy

175
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: that it filters down to in that situation. You know,

176
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: once you think r G three is out, they find

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: one of the Giants and Eagles are just playing a

178
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: trick on Washington. This is their grand places, like, oh yeah,

179
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: we'll make him look good. It's a domintle thing, like

180
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: you guys don't need a quarterback next year, you can

181
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: have RG. Thus is how they win the NFC, throwing

182
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: back some money and the guys, all right, let's get

183
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: to it. The Windy City City Abroad show the playoffs

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: on the line for the New Orleans Saints as they

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: take on the Bears. It's Monday Night football for the Bears.

186
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: In the first, Cutler to Martellis Bennett and Patrick Robinson

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: with the Pigs Sam on the twenty four yard line.

188
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Two plays later, first in ten, breeze nicktoon and he

189
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: would cough it up. Jared Allen recovers, score stays at zero.

190
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Saints now back in the second, first in goal, Breeze

191
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: to his tight end. Not the tight end you started, Joshua.

192
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: Where is right when touched on. I thought about started

193
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: in less than one percent of the league's But for

194
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: those less than one percent, are they feeling good? Here

195
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: we go, first goal, end of the second freeze to

196
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Colston, Saints up fourteen zero. They add more in

197
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: the third, second and five breeze too. If you started,

198
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: we just kill again. Breeze ends the night just over

199
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven fantasy points. New Orleans upo Bears. Finally they

200
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: go in the fourth like they always do when they

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: are a way we are by time Marquis Wilson, we

202
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: mentioned all week long, we started to get a touchdown

203
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: to you can't get his touchdown call there ends up

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: with fourteen fantasy points after a two point conversion, Bears

205
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: down safe, trying to run out the clock, mark Ingram

206
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: there you go. Get in that endz Man, you have winter.

207
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: You seven and a half points just on that play alone.

208
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Gives the Bears another possession though for all you fantasy fans,

209
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: and that was a big deal because al Sean Jeffrey

210
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: got a touch donand of course one of the top receivers.

211
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy matchups were determined based on that catch a lot.

212
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I saw it on Twitter last night because Jeffrey ends

213
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: with about fourteen points. There's a smile from j I

214
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: had to give marks too, even color color goes from

215
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: having fourteen. I mean, that can look better than Aaron

216
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Rogers Sanchez. Alright, let's get to somebody that helped a

217
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: whole lot of people starting on the same side of

218
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: the ball. Drew Brees the big story in this one.

219
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: If you managed to survive that debacle against the Panthers,

220
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: you were rewarded because nearly twenty eight fantasy points delivered

221
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: when fans needed him most. And then you gotta feel

222
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: good about moving at least you think. I mean, we

223
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: felt good about Drew Brees against the Panthers in the

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: super Dome and it didn't come to fruition. Well, listen,

225
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: everything about Drew Brees this week I'm gonna say is positive. Okay,

226
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: number one because I'm trying to jink some because I'm

227
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: playing against you. But number two, He's played Atlanta and

228
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an absolute shootout there in New Orleans.

229
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: And Drew Brees sands that one game against Caroline has

230
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: been pretty good. So Matt money Smith billion move to

231
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: keep him and sit Tom Brady all year and good news.

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: These two teams are fighting out for the division, so

233
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all hands on that, and like you said,

234
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you feel like it could be a giant point explosion.

235
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Actually be out there calling the game hopefully, as I

236
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: mentioned that, Jim Nance, I won't let any emotion. You're

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: calling for the radio. Let's go to mark Ingram and

238
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: uh we mentioned it a moment ago. It was late,

239
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: they were trying to run out the clock. But he

240
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: gets into the end zone and he gets nearly twelve

241
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy points on the part well and importantly too, they

242
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: gave him the ball a lot. They gave him the

243
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: ball seventeen times, nearly twenty times. So again we're lining

244
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: back on uh Marking Groom for that run game and

245
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: he's provided that for them, got into the end zone.

246
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: So this is the guy that they're gonna feed him

247
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: the rock. We've seen when he's gotten the ball twenty

248
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: plus or more time and he gets the hunting yard.

249
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: These guys are winning, so they need him to win

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons. A big performance from on this

251
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: night against Chicago Bears and Fabs. While we uh well

252
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: half chokingly talked about Joe Randall and your issue with

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, while Ingram gets it between the tackles, Kire

254
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: Thomas Sean Payton is better at getting balls to backs

255
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: in the passing game than any other head coach in

256
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: the league. And look at those numbers. Nine four scrimmag

257
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: yards against the bar in the PPR league. You're looking

258
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: at a very nice stat line. And so if you

259
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: are in a PPR league and you're hurting and running

260
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: back this week, he's out there and probably about thirty

261
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: of NFL dot Com league, So it's at least worth

262
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: a look, no question, especially like we just mentioned the

263
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: way that contest lays out with the Falcons. Alright, guys,

264
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham finished with five catches for eighty seven yards

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: and almost nine Fantasy points. That's a good week for

266
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Uh. Not quite what fans were hoping for though,

267
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: when they drafted at him in the first or at

268
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: worst at lowest early second round this year. Here is

269
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Graham's last five weeks and where he ranks among tight

270
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: end You really have to consider him one of the

271
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: five biggest busts in fantasy because this is the first

272
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: round pick we're talking about right now. He is fifty

273
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: ninth in Fantasy points on a playoffs night. He used

274
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: to be Last year he was in at least in

275
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: the top twenty, and so that's a big drop for

276
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Graham. What about the first pick, Jimmy Graham,

277
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: what about this week against the Falcons? Is it a

278
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: good match up? It is? It really is double digit points.

279
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: He'll be back to his double digit points. I even

280
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: think that he'll get closer to twenty points against the

281
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. There's just not the answer match up, base

282
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: and personnel wise for for the Falcons. You know, Mike

283
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: Tarrico and John Grew made a good point last night.

284
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: There was that fade towards I think it's in the

285
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: third quarter that Drew brees through and Jimmy Graham catches

286
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: that ten out of ten times prior to this season.

287
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: So you do wonder if that left shoulder, he cannot

288
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: high point that ball like it was and that's what

289
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: made him so dangerous and you know, in the red zone,

290
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't. I mean, he's still six six,

291
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: so even if he does lose a little bit of

292
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: range of motion, that doesn't reduce the fact that there's

293
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: a huge height advantage over most safeties and most cornerbacks

294
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be playing up against, especially when you

295
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: look at the Atlanta foul because they struggle when it

296
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: comes to hide their guys back there. They're not very big,

297
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a layup based off of size alone.

298
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, it just did not happen this year.

299
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: And like you said, if you invested a first round

300
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: it could be one of the bigger bus this season.

301
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: Now switching over to the Bears, Jake Cutler finished with

302
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, three interceptions, but almost fourteen Fantasy points. That's

303
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: not a bad floor garbage. You're not starting against the Lions, No, no, no, no.

304
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: In his history against the Lions is not very good,

305
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about playing in the Windy City.

306
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bears have had like five straight

307
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: home games in a row. Remember there on the road

308
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: at the start of the season. Question, So Color is

309
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: a guy that at this point you can drop him. Um.

310
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: In the words of my friend Seth Rollins from w

311
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: W who he's a Bears fan, and I told him

312
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: I'd give him a shot out. Color was rude in

313
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: this game. Cut him you don't need him unless he

314
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: was your number one quarterback and you somehow still made

315
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: it into the Fantasy Championship. He's a guy you can

316
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: cut right now and I'm Randall and block your opponent

317
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: like he's gonna thinking about how many times he was

318
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: sacked in this game to he was tack in this game.

319
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Offensive line couldn't block for him. So imagine what the

320
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are gonna do when they unleashed Ezekiel Ansa

321
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and don console and say, you know, Cutler a late

322
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: round pick when it comes to quarterbacks, maybe nine ninth

323
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: round in that that area. Matt Fourte was the top

324
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: five pick, uh C nearly ten points. It's not bad,

325
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: it's a good floor, but it's not what you're looking

326
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: for out of your number one back in the playoffs.

327
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: How worried are you, Akbar about him next week against

328
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: the line? I'm extremely concerned because more so than the matchup,

329
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: I believe that this team has kind of given up.

330
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: I think that they're a little defeated. They play defeated

331
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints, and this is not like

332
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: the the old school New Orleans Saints that we really

333
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: used to watching. Is going to put them big, big

334
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: numbers on it. They weren't that efficient, and they didn't

335
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: fight offensively. Defensively, they didn't take advantage of the weak

336
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: point for the for the New Orleans Saints defense. I

337
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: didn't like what I saw, so I don't like what

338
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see from maps All Bears against the Lions.

339
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: It just tells Ben at Alshon, Jeffrey mad Forte, Jacob

340
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe not, as Jeffrey may not gonna start him.

341
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe not. You gonna start al Sean. Maybe

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Clauson will be thrown past this fantasy With this,

343
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: if your team has been stunned by the injury bug

344
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: centron the parents heading in the championship weekend, you won't

345
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: want to miss our top waiver wire targets for weeks

346
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: sixt team. But next Marcus grant un Dale's his fantasy

347
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: breakdown sea which target and touch leaders caught his eye

348
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: over the weekend and what it means for your fantasy teams.

349
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: This is NFL Fantasy Lives starting out for Game Changers

350

Speaker 1: presented by Bows and this season we look to you

Speaker 1: biggest impact for your fantasy teams. You can tweet us

353

00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: or tweet on an episode of NFL Fantasy Live like

355
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: we're about to do right now for you lucky fans,

356
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: and lucky not only because we're going to show your

357
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: Twitter handle, but because you likely won the week and

358
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: it made it to the championship. Akbar get us started

359
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: with Jeremy Hill. Well, Jeremy Hill, I know for a

360
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: fact if you played Jeremy Hill, chances are you're in

361
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: the Championship this week because he was outstanding against the

362
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and the way he runs. We know Hugh

363
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: Jackson loves him. The way his style of run. I

364
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: think Jeff Bonnie Bernard is a great compliment to him,

365
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: a great change up back for what they want. But

366
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: when you talk about that power runner, that's him hammer

367
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: the hammer, and he's gonna be able to continue to

368
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: do that even in the Championship against the Denver Broncos.

369
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be able to do that. He

370
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: just has that talent because not only does he have

371
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: the size, but he has solid speed for that size

372
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: to be able to run over guys. So uh an

373
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: outstanding pig. Maybe a surprise for Jeremy Hill even though

374
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: he was named the starter. Certainly no surprise FABS for

375
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Leban Bell, who has been the m v P of

376
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: the second half of the fantasy season. Every time I

377
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: see his name or here and I think of the commercial.

378
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: The diamond in fantasy football is Levian Bell. He has

379
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: had over two d scrimmage yards per game in his

380
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: last four games. He's unbelievable six touchdowns in his last

381
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: four weeks. That's tied for most of the National Football League.

382
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: And this Matt money Smith is your number one overall pick.

383
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's not even a question, or not not even

384
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: a question. Well, how about Odell Beckham is the number

385
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: one overall pick? I like wide receivers, you can go ahead.

386
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: Modell Beckham has been nothing short of spectacular since his

387
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: return from injury, and it sounds so great to put

388
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 1: him in that number one pick conversation for next year,

389
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: but it won't happen because of his position. But I

390
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: will tell you that this week going up against who

391
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: the Giants are playing, the Rams, and you know that

392
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: secondary is going to need a lot of help against

393
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, he'll continue to perform like he did against

394
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. This kid is something. Just what three

395
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns was ridiculous record. I mean everything that you needed

396
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: to receive, and he's doing it without a number two

397
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver, legitimate number one, number two wide receiver. He's

398
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: the number one guy. He should be the number one

399
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: sport when the rosters. He points in his first ten

400
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: games in any wide receiver since nineteen sixties. So do

401
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: you draft him over the next gentleman? We will flash

402
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: on the screen next year. Ryan No, Um, I'm listen

403
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: and it's not me. It's not me being a Cowboys

404
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: helper either, but Dez Bryant's got skins on the wall

405
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: and this is a guy who just scores touchdowns. Last week,

406
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: huge game against the Philadelphia he goes. I was surprised

407
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: that Tony Romo was as effective in the statutes as

408
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: he was because he had a bad trying to play

409
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. But Dez came out and when you needed

410
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: him the most, unlike a J. Greene and Jordy Nelson

411
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: and put up a huge stall like yeah, I started

412
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: those guys and loss. That was his first that was

413
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: his first three touchdown game, and Odell Beckham did that

414
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: in his rookie years. So that is a great argument,

415
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckam, you know, actually gonna get to it a

416
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: little bit later about where to draft these rookie wide

417
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: receivers next season, or whether or not you're fearful of

418
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: a sophomore slump. There was Game Changers presented by for More.

419
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: Now we throw it over Adam and Marcus Banks money.

420
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: We're breaking down the players with the most targets and

421
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: backfield opportunities from week fifteen. So let's take a look

422
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: and who made the list. This is a good list, Marcus.

423
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: This isn't. It isn't. This isn't like last week when

424
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I was calling out people who had made my naughty

425
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: list and Odell Beckham Jr. Who they were just talking

426
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: about a moment ago. The most targeted player. He's the

427
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: guy when I do my daily fantasy leagues, he's automatically

428
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: must start the first one I go and drop in.

429
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Harry Douglas came off the bench to lead the Atlanta

430
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: Falcons with targets, actually finished second with everybody. Randall Cobb

431
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: targeted more than Jordy Nelson. Well, I guess if you

432
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: drop a ninety four yard touchdown pass, you're gonna lose

433
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: a couple of targets of somebody. But let's take a

434
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: look at the tight ends right now. Greg Olsen, playing

435
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: with the backup quarterback, had a pretty good game exactly.

436
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's the bigger point, is that whether

437
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: it's Cam Newton or it's Derrick Anderson, they are looking

438
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: for Greg Olsen. And in a year when we talked

439
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: about so much how tight ends have been so inconsistent,

440
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: greg Olsen has been one of the guys who's getting

441
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities. He put up good numbers against

442
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, and so you gotta stay with this guy.

443
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: You have him if you're planning for a championship. He's

444
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: been good to you all season long. Don't fear who's

445
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: under sinner, whoever it is, gonna find Olsen. Yeah, all

446
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: that fear has been erased because Anderson has certainly looked

447
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: for him. Another tight end to keep an eye on.

448
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: Michael Riveri he's been a sneaky playing kind of all season.

449
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: He really has been, and he's become a bigger part

450
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: of the offense in the second half of the season

451
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: as Derek Carr just trying to get comfortable under sinner

452
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: there for the Raiders. And this is maybe not so

453
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: much for this year, but certainly spinning forward is you're

454
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: looking ahead and you're looking for tight ends, especially guys

455
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: you can take in the latter half of your draft

456
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. Michael Rivera is a guy

457
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: with a lot of athleticism. He's shown some good hands

458
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that Derek Carr seems to have

459
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: some trusted right now. So spinning this Michael Rivera may

460
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: have some late round value for you. Okay, now you've

461
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: got the brains, you've got le Bron, I've also got

462
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: the list of the guys are the most wi opportunity

463
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: I love anytime, and we can reference a pet shot boys.

464
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: It's part of a tradition now and we look at

465
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: some of the names. Of course, DeMarco Murray leads the

466
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: way with the most opportunities of anybody. Jeremy Hill, who

467
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: they were just talking about. We thought that perhaps it

468
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: could have been a fifty fifty split, didn't quite work

469
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: out that way. He ran the ball twenty five times,

470
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: was super effective. Jonathan Stewart coming in when he's the

471
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: guy who has his own show, so to speak. When

472
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: he's the one man band, he does pretty well. Speaking

473
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: of one man bands, this guy has been playing some

474
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: beautiful music this season. C J. Anders Absolutely, he's been

475
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: fantastic since he took over that starting job for the

476
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and the last few weeks he's been one

477
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: of the guys kind of keeping that offensive floating. Sure,

478
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: you see the nine point six fantasy points and that's

479
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: not spectacular, but he's gotten a lot of it TIMPs

480
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: in the last month, and as Peyton Manning has struggled

481
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: for the last three or four weeks, Anderson has been

482
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: the guy to keep that Bronco offense moving. And so

483
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna make for interesting to lemon next season when

484
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: we get to draft time. What happens with Monte Ball.

485
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: Where's Ronnie Hillman going to be? What's up with Jawan Thompson.

486
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson is gonna be that guy? What about

487
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: friend Jackson? C J. Spiller could return this week, but

488
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Jackson was doing some work last we's been doing some

489
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: work in the last couple of weeks. And I'm not

490
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: really concerned about c. J. Spiller one because he's just

491
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: been unproductive, but it's also got a sure thing exactly,

492
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: but it's also got a short thing that Spiller even

493
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: plays this week. He's cleared he could come back, but

494
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: it's still up in the air whether or not he

495
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: will be on the field. Jackson's guy that you know

496
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: every time we try to bury him, he comes back

497
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: with another good performance. And with the quarterback position being

498
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: so inconsistent, Buffalo Jackson's the guy you can lay ups

499
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: and spend the guy all right now. If you want

500
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: to have the edge on your buddies, be sure to

501
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: check out Marcus his column. You can find it at

502
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: nfl dot com slash targets. Apparently I'm a jerk because

503
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: I have not been telling people vanity U r L.

504
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the effort. Check it out, Go check

505
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: it out right now. Marcus is a good guy. He

506
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: wants he deserves that the click. So if you survive

507
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: your fantasy stud putting up a dud in week fifteen,

508
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: you'll have to learn how to forgive and forget. We

509
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: debate who will bounce back and redeem themselves next, but

510
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: first we'll break down the top players to pick up

511
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: this week. Put the missing piece to your Championship be

512
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire well checking out what NFL and

513
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live returns come out to hit the waiver wire.

514
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live presented by bos Matt

515
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: money Smith. Here with Adam Rank, Fabs and Marcus. We

516
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: are heading into Championship week, yet you can still pay

517
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: attention to the waiver wire. There are gentlemen available that

518
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: you could pick up and consider playing. Marcus start us off.

519
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Joseph Randall. And this is a

520
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: strategic move here because one maybe he can help you

521
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: because if De Marco Murray game time decision, if he

522
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: doesn't play, Randall's the guy who maybe gets the bulk

523
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: of the carries. But even so, even if you don't

524
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: need a running back, maybe your opponent has De Marco Murray.

525
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: And to block your opponent from having that potential hand

526
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: jumps there. How quickly did you put in your claim

527
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Sunday night, because Fats has, of course we

528
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show De Marco Murray. So

529
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: I do not want you get in your hands on

530
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: Joseph Randa, but maybe you get your hands on Carlos

531
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Hide here fast no, because he's not available in our league,

532
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: but he's available in a lot of leagues out there

533
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. Now you have to keep tabs

534
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: on his status because Gore got hurt ahead of him,

535
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: but then Hyde hurt his back in his ankle. So

536
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: if he could play, he's a flex starter because I

537
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: don't expect Gore to pass protocol. Remember that's a Saturday game,

538
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: so it's earlier in the week. But if he's out

539
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: there right now and you need a running back, you've

540
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: got to go out and get Carlos Hide. And there

541
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: are a number of quarterbacks that have been on the

542
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: schneide for like five six weeks in a row. Now

543
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: first QB once and you like Alex Smith here, it's

544
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: a potential replacement. I really like his matchup too. He's

545
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: going up against the Steelers, who have been very giving

546
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: to opposing quarterbacks this season. We've seen everybody go out

547
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: and get points against him. Last week it was Matt Ryan.

548
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: And you look at Alex Smith and one thing that

549
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of stands out to you is that he doesn't

550
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: have a receiver to throw it too. But it doesn't

551
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: seem to matter because he finds ways to get a

552
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: Denial Davis, He gets into Jamal Charles, he finds as Kelsey,

553
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: so he has the opportunity to go out there and money.

554
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: You like to talk about this all the time. You

555
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: want to kind of just avert risk and you want

556
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: to get a guy who's probably gonna be at least

557
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: worth fifteen points in might. He might not go out

558
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: there and get you forty points, but he could get

559
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: you twenty two points. Knocked me out of my OC

560
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: punk rock league this week. Marcus running back another evase,

561
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: that's what available for you. I don't think this guy

562
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: is available in our league, but he is available on

563
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: the Jonathan Steward, who has really been the most consistent

564
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: thing in the Panther's offense this season, and part of

565
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: his like he's getting a lot of touches that I know,

566
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: his fantasy numbers weren't great and last week the fumble

567
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: certainly hurt that. But again, it's volume, it's opportunity, and

568
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: it's a guy that if you were needing a running

569
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: back or you're needing a flex opportunity, Johnathan Steward could

570
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: be a good guy for you. And another split situation

571
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: for a squad is in New York with Andre Williams

572
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: because of the injury sustained earlier too, may or may

573
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: not be because Jennicks can't stay healthy. So Andre Williams

574
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: could carry the mail against the Rams. It's a bad matchup.

575
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: He's available in about fifty of NFL dot com leagues,

576
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: but this is Championship week and if you're hurting it

577
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: running act like I potentially am with DeMarco Murray, Andre

578
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: Williams is a guy you can grab off the waiter

579
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: wire and start again. Not a great matchup, but you

580
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: got to fill that spot somehow. What do you think

581
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: the floor is their fab spot? Seven points? Six points?

582
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: It is low because the Rams defense is really good

583
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: at home, all right. Ranking as a wide receiver, I

584
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: would look at Harry Douglas this week, especially with the

585
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: news about Julio John shirt. They came out this week

586
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: and they said that they expect him to play. What

587
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: we're talking about, So we're talking about waiver wire claims

588
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: right now and guys that you need to have on

589
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: your roster. You've gotta be able to be nimble just

590
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: in case something happens to Julio this week. If it

591
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: turns out on Saturday, or Sunday that he's unable to go,

592
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: unable to play, then you pick him up, you start him,

593
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: and then you make sure that he's in your life.

594
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: And actually, Mike Nest played him last week against me

595
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: and did knock knocked you out? Did you knocked me out? Yeah,

596
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: that's what happens, man, you know, knock me out? Alright?

597
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: How about this, I'm coming full circle the final week

598
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: of Fantasy y. Yes I am. I am recommending the

599
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: feature back for the Jackson Bill Jaguars that I rafted

600
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth round of our Experts league. Have Toby Gearhart. Look,

601
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: he rushed for fifty four yards against the Ravens. Since

602
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: they have lost not it's been easier to run against them.

603
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: And they happen to be going against the Tennessee Titans

604
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. The Titans were just in a knockdown,

605
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: drag out brawl with a very physical New York Jets team.

606
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: So I think, literally, I love the idea of starting

607
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: Gearheart as a flex. We talked absolutely, you know what

608
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: money he's available in our league. I know, but I'm

609
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: getting my hands on this guy and kicked up Toby

610
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Gerhardt and he goes for against the Titans and you

611
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: lose Babs to do it, I'm not because I'm telling

612
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: you right now, I'm gonna be. I am gonna play

613
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Joseph Randall just to spite you win or lose. I

614
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: am going to play him. Uh. These are your top

615
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: ten waiver wire targets, obviously the running backs at the

616
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: top of the injury to faith in Mark Sanchez against

617
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: the Ridskins and guys. If you need a kick or counter,

618
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Barth has scored more Fantasy points in the last three

619
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 1: weeks then paying inning pick him up kickers count. All Right.

620
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: There you have it, Waiver wire still viable in many

621
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy league. What is scarier than forgetting to set

622
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: your line up the week year championship will probably nothing,

623
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: but we did find some scary Week sixteen matchups you

624
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: need to know about if you want to win this weekend.

625

Speaker 1: to redemption this weekend. Plus we've break down the matchups

630
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: that are just too good to pass up see which

631
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: players favorable face offs could lead you to a fantasy championship.

632
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: Has been the year of the Rickie wide out, but

633
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: could be the year of the sophomore slim. We rank

634
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: this year's rookie receivers so you couldn't be ready to

635
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: dominate next year's draft. And we welcome you back to

636
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, presented by Bows Money. Here with acbar

00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: and Marcus and FABS. Remember you can always hit us

638
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: up with your Twitter questions. It's one word at NFL

639
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Now. A number of big time players disappointed owners

640
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: this past weekend, and here we give the people a

641
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: look at some of the notable stars that let your

642
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: team down. I like all these guys. I got Calvin

643
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jordy Nelson got me ten points combine Manning Rogers,

644
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Charles Gordon set that Rodgers number got me bumped in

645
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Well, let's let's get to it,

646
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: the gentlemen. Let's talk about some players we think will

647
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: redeem themselves in Week sixteen. FABS, you mentioned Aaron Rodgers

648
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: going up against Tampa in Tampa. You're feeling good about that.

649
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm feeling very good. Although I'm not feeling good about

650
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: the fact that I got knocked out of the playoffs

651
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers was on my team. But against the

652
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and this is a great matchup for Rogers.

653
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna want to come back. Did you know that

654
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: last week he had no touchdown passes and two interceptions

655
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: for the first time in his career? What could jin

656
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: done that week two? But I digress. I love the matchup.

657
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: This is a must start situation, regardless of what Rogers

658
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: Dad or do last week. All right, from one quarterback

659
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: to the next. Peyton Manning akbar who's got to travel

660
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: the frigid Cincinnati for an evening contest against the Anglos Well.

661
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: I think this is the bounce back game for Peyton Manning.

662
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: For the last two weeks, he's thrown twenty passes pass attempts,

663
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: and to me, it's been a plan to save his arm.

664
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: It's the only way that you can save his arm.

665
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: You can't removing for a game, so you reduce the

666
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: amount of times his past attempts and that's what they've done.

667
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Now that they're going towards his back in the stretch,

668
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: they need to win out of course, and they're hoping

669
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: that the news they lose the game, but they're they're

670
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: getting his arm back. So Petty Manning is going to

671
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: come back against and he's gonna come back in a

672
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: big fashion against the Bengals. We're going to see if

673
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: he can do it in the cold and the wind Incinnati. Alright,

674
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Jamal Charles, Jamal Charles is what you know. Every

675
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: now and then Andy Reid seems to forget who his

676
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: best player is and he doesn't give him the ball.

677
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: That was always the knock on Reid in Philadelphia, has

678
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: been the knock on him a few times in Kansas City.

679
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: You see that twelve carries for Jamal Charles against the

680
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: Raiders and can't give him really. But for the Chiefs

681
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: to prosper offensively, they need Jamal Charles because you know,

682
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: it's not like their wide receivers catch touchdowns or anything.

683
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: So they've got to get Jamal Charles the ball. So

684
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: in regardless of the matchup, I think the Chiefs feed

685
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: number repeatedly. Yeah, And I think also that was a

686
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: product of that game, the fact that Nile Davis was

687
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: getting those touches. You know, that's team that's still alive

688
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: for a wild card birth. So hard to believe that

689
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: they would sit Charles Megatron, no brainer, just five and

690
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: a half points last weekend, what looked like a pretty

691
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: good matchup against the Vikings indoors in Detroit just did

692
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: not happen. Had a drop right there at the goal line.

693
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: Not that you just saw, but it happened in that game.

694
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: Who's he going against? Oh, that's right, the Chicago Bears.

695
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Did you see what the Saints passing attack did to

696
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears? And historically Calvin Johnson has done wonders

697
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: against them? Again fit most Fantasy points per game to

698
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers the last four weeks for Chicago and money,

699
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: Who's got me? Trade I made with Hot Car as

700
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, because I had planned to be

701
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl to start Megatron. And this is

702
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: why it's gonna go the that's late Lands. It's gonna

703
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: because it just looks too good on bagolations to you guys.

704
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: You guys, are you guys gonna fight it out or

705
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm gonna wear a single it in

706
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: some head gear. I'm gonna rull out the rest of

707
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: mats and right there at half time, I'm gonna kind

708
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: of jam and get the fireman's carry going out right.

709
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: And if you're stuck on whom to start this weekend,

710
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: one quick look at the schedule could make all the difference.

711
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: And up next we break down the best matchups of

712
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: week sixteen. Plus does that staunch Cardinals d have you

713
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: scarred to start your Sunday? We'll debate which matchups make

Speaker 1: two Saturday games this week. Make sure your lineups are

719
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: We talked earlier, everybody is in agreement. Toby Gerhardt the

720
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: start of the week running bat and here you get

721
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: a look all the way through Monday Night Football and

722
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: certainly a host of fantasy players between GIOE. Bernard and

723
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill and Peyton Manning and all those receivers. Oh

724
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: want to have a championship decided on Monday Night football.

725
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: It does not get better than that. As we welcome

726
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: you back to NFL Fantasy Live. Presented by bos Matt

727
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: money Smith here with Adam Rank and Michael Fabiano and

728
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: Akbar MLA. Guys, this is why you lift those weights

729
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: because this weekend it's Fantasy Championship week for most leagues,

730
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: So we dive into some of our favorite matchups for

731
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: a week sixteen fabs. Kick it off. Who you're starting

732
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: this week? Matt Ryan is a fantastic play. And it's

733
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: funny because Matt Ryan was so inconsistent earlier in the year.

734
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: He was driving you crazy. But lately he has been gangbusters.

735
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: Twenty plus fantasy points in three straight games, and he's

736
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: got a great trend of success playing on the road

737
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: against New Orleans and forget about what Jay Cutler didn't

738
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: do last night on Monday Night against the Saints. Their

739
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: defense is often and this is gonna be a high

740
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: scoring game. I just thought rotten when I thought at

741
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: the saints past defense. And Ryan is a guy who

742
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: will be in my top five quarterbacks for the week,

743
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: and honestly, unless you have an elite quarterback, he's a

744
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: virtual must start. Well, you have an elite quarterback at him,

745
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Ran because you're going with Mark Sanchez is a favorable matchup.

746
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: This week. I do like this matchup going up against

747
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins on Saturday. I still have faith in him.

748
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: I know last week wasn't that great of a performance Bone,

749
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: but like we're watching this play right here, if Macklin

750
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: doesn't get cackled on the one yard line, his game

751
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: completely flips around. He Also, I don't blame him for

752
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: both of his interceptions. I think one of them was

753
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: a bad pass. But you know what, I still have

754
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: faith in this offense. I still have faith in Sanchez,

755
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: and I look at some of the options and a

756
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna have to roll with I

757
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: think Sanchez can come out and have another good game. Allow,

758
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: let's get to the running back position. Akbarn someone that

759
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: has struggled as of late. As you see the one

760
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: point three fantasy points from week fifteen, Well, this is

761
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: the championship week. This is the championship game. You have

762
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: to play the favorable matchups. Never mind going back into

763
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: the pass and saying what he didn't do, But if

764
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: you want to go back in the past, you want

765
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: to look at favorable matchups like what he did a

766
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago against the Oakland Raiders or several

767
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago when he put up a hundred fifty plus

768
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: yards three touchdowns. That was a really good matchup for him.

769
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: Well again, going up against the New York Giants, they're

770
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: not good at all. What's the word that you use. Yeah,

771
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: they're very They're rotten. They're rotting. Oh, they're rotten to

772
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: the core, to the core. They're giving up four points

773
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: since Week four, they're giving up four point nine yards

774
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: per game. That's a lot of yards. I like this better.

775
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: This is one of my absolute favorite starts of the week.

776
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: The Bears. You want to talk about rotten something steaks

777
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: in Chicago and it is top to bottom that defense

778
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: is bad and the Lions are all about ball security

779
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: and that means a lot of joy Bell. He has

780
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: proven to be the bell cow that Jim Caldwell wants

781
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: and not Reggie Bush. How about nineteen touches against the

782
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: Vikings ten point three. We talk about the floor. That

783
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: is a great floor. And how about this what he

784
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: did against the Bears on Thanksgiving Day? Hundred yards, two touchdowns,

785
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: twenty plus poys. Join Bell is a no brainer, absolute

786
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: no brainer for Championship Week. If you have him on

787

792
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: the bad matchups. Matchups that you see, the names you

793
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: want to lean on that that name brand, but you

794
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: just can't. And that goes to you, FABS and Russell

795
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: Wilson at the quarterback position. This is a bad match

796
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Horizona Cardinals. And I don't know that you can play

797
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson this week with any kind of confidence. Look

798
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: at his numbers career in Arizona, they have not been

799
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: good overall. Five career games, seven touchdowns, six turnovers. He's

800
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: averaging fewer than fifteen Fantasy points in two career road

801
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: games against the Cardinals. I would start Matt Ryan over

802
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson all day long. In fact, Mark Sanchez could

803
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: be a better option than Russell Wilson this week. The

804
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense is solid, just ask their in its weekend

805
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: in week out, especially the quarterbacks. So Russell Wilson's a

806
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: real risk to you, guys, rank you are sticking with

807
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest squad there, but you're going to the

808
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, I'd be concerned if I had to

809
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: go with Marshawn Lynch this week because that Cardinals defense

810
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: absolutely dominates people, especially up front at the line of scrimmage.

811
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: It seems like they have lost a large majority of

812
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: their starters from back when you would look at the

813
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: depth charts earlier in the season. The guys that you

814
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna be able to count on, they've

815
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: lost Darnell Dockett and some of the other big names,

816
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: and you know what, each and every week they still

817
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: come out and they still just hammer people. I feel

818
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a really close game. I could

819
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: see another affair where this is just a lot of

820
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: field goals being traded back and forth against with the

821
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: two two best teams in the in the NFC right now, Yeah,

822
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: I thought the same might happen with the Rams. And

823
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: that's why Trim Mays gonna do well is that defense

824
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: would get after whoever it was that they were going

825
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: to play at quarterback, and it ended up that, you know,

826
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: they still stopped the Matt Forte, I mean, a top

827
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: five pick bar and you are saying, think hard, playing

828
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: very hard. He's going up against the Detroit lines, and look,

829
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: you need points right now. You look at what the

830
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: Detroit lines are given up in the rush game. They're

831
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: the number one rush defense in the NFL right now,

832
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: giving up sixty eight yards per game. Well, that's six

833
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: point eight yards for Matt four. If he can get

834
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, he can get that. Now, think about the

835
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: fact that since Week eight he's been in the end

836
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: zone three times. Three times. That's not gonna give you

837
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: enough points. I don't see him getting into the end

838
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: zone against the Detroit lines. So he may give you

839
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: six point eight points against the Detroit lines, that's not

840
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: nine point nine for a Forte. We told you, we

841
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: we told you last week. Do not play a J.

842
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: Green for whatever reason, Joe Hayden, And even though Joe

843
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: Hayden wasn't on him that entire game, it's just it's inexplicable.

844
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: But a J. Green does not do well against the Browns. Now,

845
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: this is more body of work that Broncos secondary has

846
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: been nothing short of spectacular this season between Harris and

847
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: to Leave and then on the back end, it's got

848
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: paid for team more exactly, I mean that is going

849
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: to be a top goal for the Bengals, and in cold,

850
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: frigid Ohio, I can envision this being much like you

851
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: mentioned with the Cardinals and the Seahawks, a field goal,

852
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: low scoring game. Hold onto the ball, keep those explosive

853
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: receivers off the field, so I'd have no hesitation. I

854
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: like what you're selling too, because this is a very

855
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: underrated defensive back unit for the Denver Broncos, especially kiss

856
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: Chris Harris. We just talked about his big money deal.

857
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: He deserves it because he can lock guys up for real. Alright.

858
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: A big part of that was the game plan. I

859
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: just want to make sure. I just want to make sure,

860
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: because we give this advice out. Sit Matt Forte. Absolutely,

861
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Sit Russell Wilson. If you have another Russell Wilson, Yes,

862
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: sit Marshawn Lynch. In my daily leg I will not

863
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: be playing. And I would absolutely absolutely sit a J. Green.

864
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: That would be our advice. Not cut in time. It's

865
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: championship week, all right, Wookie, right, Wookie, not a Wookie. Rookie.

866
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: Wide receivers have been fair enough the league this year,

867
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: But how I are you willing to draft one? Find

868
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: out which whiteouts we say are worth a look in

869
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: the second round. Welcome back to NF Fantasy Live. Here

870
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: is a look at the top wide receivers that are

871
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: rookies this season. And oh, that is a host of points.

872
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: You see Mike Evans number one deceiving though because of

873
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham's injury that he is just eight points behind

874
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: it with about half the opportunities. Calvin Benjamin Sammy Watkins

875
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: round out the top four. So why don't we focus

876
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: on the top four? And akbar. You get us started

877
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: with seemingly the guy that's going to be the waiver

878
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: pickup of the year, the rookie of the year, the

879
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver thing of the year, the best catch Odell Beckham,

880
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. From me, this is a guy that

881
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at next year, going picking him at the

882
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: first pick in the second round. You look at where

883
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: he is right now, almost a hundred and fifty three

884
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, more than A J. Green so far on

885
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: the year, more than Calvin Johnson so far on the year.

886
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: And you think, well, Calvin Johnson, a J. Green they

887
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: had some injury issues, Well so did O D B.

888
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: And he's come out balling. This is a guy to

889
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: me without the number one wide receiver next to him

890
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: are complimentary wide receiver. He's made his case that he

891
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: is a number one why receiver. When Victor Cruz coming back,

892
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: that's more attention that they're gonna put on Victor crue

893
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play him softer. Of course, he's

894
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 1: going to be the number two. And the one thing

895
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: about Beckham is coming out of L s U. Fast, strong,

896
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: great hands. He showed every last bit of that. The

897
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: scouts were right, no brainer, and he is making good

898
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: on all the promise that he showed at the combine

899
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: and while he was at L s U for those

900
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: Bayou Bengles. Marcus, you're going Mike Evans here, I'm going

901
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: Mike drafted. Well, I think Mike Evans is the guy

902
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: you probably can get in the fourth or fifth round

903
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: next year. I mean, I think you go down a

904
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: little bit, and part because of the inconsistency in that offense.

905
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: They've had a terrible running game, whether the quarterback position,

906
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: whether it's been Josh McCowen or Mike Glenn, and there's

907
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: been inconsistency there. But there's no doubt he's the number

908
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: one guy in that passing game right now, he's surpassed

909
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson. He's been the more productive of the two.

910
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: But just because there are few other pieces around him

911
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: to help him out right now, he's not a guy

912
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to take a chance on before I'd

913
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: say fourth or fifth round. And one thing to keep

914
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: an eye on because of where the Bucks pick. They

915
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 1: could be going quarterback in the first round at market

916
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: to Mario to and now you're talking about trying to

917
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: break in a rookie QB and Mike Evans second year

918
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins fabs. I think he's right there with Mike

919
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: Evans in the fourth or fifth round, but you have

920
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: question marks there too. Who's the quarterback? Is it gonna

921
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: be Kyle Lorden? I mean probably not someone? Did they

922
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: draft someone? And remember two guys. Somebody on this list

923
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be Corderol Patterson. He's going to be an

924
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: enormous bust. There is going to be at least one

925
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers that we're talking about. And absolutely

926
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: just you know, Google eyed over who is going to

927
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: be an enormous bust next year, And hopefully it's not

928
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins or Beckham or Evans because they are going

929
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: and you wanted to be Calvin. You know what, Actually

930
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: the one that could be closest is in fact Calvin

931
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: Benjamin because it was pointed out how rock he was

932
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: even though we had the size and everything. And we've

933
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: seen a lot of drops out of Calvin Benjamin this year,

934
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: even though he's been the number one target rank. It's true,

935
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: but this quarterback is going to be consistent next year.

936
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: There's two other guys were talking about Mike Evans. I

937
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: just said they could be a rookie. We don't know

938
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: which direction the Buffalo Bills are going to go in.

939
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: We know going into the off season that he is

940
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: going to be working with Cam Newton exclusively. So I

941
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: actually like it. I would slot him ahead of those

942
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: other two guys. I feel he's just starting to learn

943
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: the position, and you think about how well he's played

944
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: being this raw that when he starts to establish himself

945
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: and become a little bit more polished and a little

946
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: bit better, he could be he could be poison. One

947
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: thing to remember for all of these as we go

948
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: to next year is these are all number one receivers.

949
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, these are not Number two is These are

950
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: not rookies that are in the slot or a third up.

951
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: These are number of one receiver is going to be

952
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: interesting come the draft next year. That's gonna do it

953
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: for us today. Make sure to tune in tomorrow for

954
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: all of Michael Fabiano's top starts and sits for weeks sixteen.

955
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: We'll see you then,
