00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Everybody. It's Monday, December twenty two. Welcome to the NFL

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: joined by Michael f. Florio and the specialists cast of dozens,

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: and let's put on this show each and every day,

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: each and every week in Florida. How is your Christmas? Sir?

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: It was really nice. Went by a couple of friends,

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: which is always nice. So we we all brought some

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: food and then we ordered Chinese food for dinner. We

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: watched Christmas movies. It was a good time, all right.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Sounds a little bit like MINEO had had some family

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: stopped by the house. We ordered a bunch of Chinese

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: foods and just graze on during the day and kind

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: of alternated between some football and basketball, and it sounds

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: like a good day. I was kind of the whole day.

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: So we will kind of go over what happened over

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the weekend. A little bit odd with most of the

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: games on Saturday and a handful of games on Sunday.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: But we have our five biggest takeaways, as we always do.

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: We got waiver wire targets for those of you who

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: have made it through are expecting to make it through

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the championship weekend plus mad Movers, and we're going to

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: have a first round mock draft in case your season

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: is over. We can start looking ahead the next year

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: and then maybe there'll be some surprises in the first round.

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Who knows. But let's starts as we always do, with

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: some fantasy headline. Starting in Washington, where Taylor Heineke was

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: benched for Carson Wins during Saturday's loss to the forty Niners.

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: The benching came after two consecutive turnovers by Heineke in

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Wins played the final two drives of

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: the game, going twelve of sixteen for buck twenty three

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Head coach Ron Rivera said after the

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: game he isn't sure yet if the move is permanent,

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: and that he will name a starter later this week. So,

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: just to play devil's advocate, if it is Carson Wentz

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: that gets the starting job back, how do you feel

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: about the rest of this Washington offense? Not as great?

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: I The thing is with Taylor Heineck, like he was

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: selling shirts that says Terry's down there somewhere. And that's

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: what we loved about Taylor Heineck. Is he was getting

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the most out of Terry McLaurin, the best player in

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: this offense. I believe it was every game but one

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz has started that Curtis Samuel was the

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: top target, and in that one, I think he tied

44
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: with Terry McLaurin. So like Curtis Samuel gets a boost here,

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a downgrade for McLaurin and John Dotson,

46
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: though I was gonna say I definitely think Samuel gets

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: a boost. I weirdly think Dotson might might keep some value.

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I think the ceiling stays high, the floor gets a

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: little bit more unstable, just because Wins is gonna throw

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: some yolo balls, and I think that potentially helps Dotson.

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I do think McLaurin takes a big hit, though, because

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: early in the season, when it was Carson Wentz, we

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: didn't see much of Terry McLaurin in this offense at all.

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: So that is very much concerning. Would you start Wins

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: saying like a two QB league against the Browns, It

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: would depend on options. He's not even like a guaranteed

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: starting two quarterback leagues. I don't think that's see. That's

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: the other question too, Like I don't know that I

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: would touch him, but neither is Taylor Heineke. Really yeah,

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: that's probably fair, That's probably fair. So yeah, I don't know,

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: take a look at your options. Well, well, I'm sure

62
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk. Waiver Wire maybe isn't able to appear. I

63
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: have I make no guarantees there. Quarterback news in New York,

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Mike White has been cleared by doctors. He will start

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Jets on Sunday against the Seahawks.

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: New York in a bit of a slump and Zack

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Wilson looked absolutely awful on Thursday Night. White has been

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: dealing with a rib injury, and that with him back

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: under center, would you start any Jets in championship week? Yeah,

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I think definitely think Garrett Wilson is back in play.

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: He was being he was awesome every week. That Zack

72
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Wilson really hasn't started. I think Elijah Moore becomes a

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a deeper sleeper. I don't love the

74
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: running backs here. They're splitting work, They're splitting uh targets

75
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: and snaps. So but I do think Bam Night is

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: more appealing with Mike White than he is with Zach Wilson,

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: all of the Jets I think get a boost. Even

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Mike White himself would be in play as a streaming option,

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: particularly in two quarterback leagues, or maybe you're just going

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper into one, would not mind starting

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Zach or Mike White rather than Zach. Wilson is not

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be there, and I like all the receivers that

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Elijah More, Gary Wilson for sure back in

84
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: play there, so that gives us a little bit more hope,

85
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more optimism. I mean, they looked decent

86
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: with Chris Traveler at quarterback at least it looks better

87
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: than with Zack Wilson at quarterback, which probably says a

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: lot about how Wilson has been playing this year. Time

89
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: for our five biggest takeaways of the week, the five

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: things we learned just by watching foods Ball? For you,

91
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: what was the first thing? George Kittle League winner? Like?

92
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: It's been an up and down year for George Kittle.

93
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: There were stretches where we were like, all right, this

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: is the George Kittle of old that we drafted. There

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: were stretches where it was like, man, can we even

96
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: trust George Kittle? Like the three weeks before these last

97
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: two hot games he was in under seven Fantasy points

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and all three of them. But with no Deebo Samuel,

99
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: he is going to win people championships. He had twenty

100
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: five Fantasy points last week, thirty this past week. Two

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns in each of them, over ninety yards in each,

102
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: and they're just designing a lot of plays for him

103
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: where he could get the ball quickly and do what

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: he does after the catch, which is similar to how

105
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: they were using d both Samuel. And he finishes out

106
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: the fantasy season next week in a great matchup against

107
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Obviously you're starting him, but I think he's

108
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of people championship. It's interesting because

109
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: with a couple of key pieces out, namely Deebo Samuel,

110
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: we have seen the Niners go to some of those

111
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: other guys that kind of work in the intermediate parts

112
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: of the field. Bruck pretty looking more confident. So that's

113
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: been good things for George Kittle recently for me to

114
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: a tongue of violo a tank your season. I didn't

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: mean to have a literation there, just sort of worked

116
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: out that way. And you look at two and we

117
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: talked about him in the middle of the season when

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: he was hot. He went three straight games with over

119
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: twenty points. Then the bye happened in week eleven, and

120
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: he has been completely different since the bye. Since then,

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: just a couple of games with multiple touchdown passes. He's

122
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: only had more than eighteen points once and that was

123
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: last week in Buffalo in that cold, kind of snowy

124
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: game they had up there. Then on Sunday, just absolutely

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: imploded in the fourth quarter, three interceptions on three straight

126
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: possessions to end of that game against Green Bay. And

127
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: so for his great as two, it was in the

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: middle of the season when we thought maybe he could

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: really push you to a championship. He has sort of

130
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: done the opposite, and he's kind of been an anchor,

131
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: giving you about, you know, ten to fifteen points a

132
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: game most most weeks. That's not gonna be enough to

133
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: get your your championship run done. I guess it's done,

134
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: just not in the way you wanted it to. Potentially

135
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: anything else, as you found out this weekend, some people

136
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: whose championship run might be done or those who started

137
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: justin fields and maybe not. It's me. I'm one of them. Yeah,

138
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very much so on the fence right now.

139
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: In a Justin Fields league, I had Kittle and James

140
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Conner bail me out, but Justin Fields showed us that

141
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: he is human this week, fewer than ten Fantasy points

142
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: for the first time in months. He had been averaging

143
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: like over twenty five Fantasy points per game in his

144
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: prior eight games. Just eleven rushing yards and only seven

145
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: rushing attempts. And this is a concern of mine because

146
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I watched a lot of this game

147
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: and being against the Bills, but I couldn't tell if

148
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: this was just Justin Fields struggling to run because the

149
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Bills were closing in all of his running lanes pretty quickly,

150
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: or if this is the Bears being like, hey, we're

151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: out of it this year. We don't want you taking

152
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: any more unnecessary hits, so try to dial back to running.

153
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Because only seven rushing attempts is a guy who was

154
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: averaging over a hundred rushing yards per game in the

155
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: last two months coming into this week. So I think, obviously,

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: if you survived this week with Justin Fields, you still

157
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: start him. But I'm a little bit more worried now

158
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: than I was a week ago, especially on a day

159
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: that was really cold and really windy, you would think

160
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: that they would have dialed up some more rushing attempts

161
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields. I will say this, I Fields is

162
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: not the only reason that my team is probably gonna

163
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: get bounced. I had a lot of underperformed Stefon Diggs,

164
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot of guys just really sort of came

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: up short. Justin Fields was just one of them. So

166
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: I can't put it all on him that I'm not

167
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: moving on for me. Davanta Smith, he is a wide

168
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: receiver one next year. And we came into the season

169
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: wondering whether or not Jalen Hurts was gonna be able

170
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: to sustain multiple passers. And yeah, I know it was

171
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Gardner minshow but the point being, we didn't know if

172
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense could sustain multiple pass catchers and whether

173
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: or not it was just going to be the A. J.

174
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Brown show. And yes, we've had a lot of A. J. Brown.

175
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: He has been awesome this year, but so has DeVonta Smith.

176
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: And to the point that right now he is actually

177
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver. He's your wide receiver nine

178
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: as we sit here. But I don't think this is

179
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a fluke. I don't think it's just because of a

180
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: couple of huge blow up games. I think this is

181
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: going to be who he is. Yes, there's always volatibility

182
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, that's the nature of the position. But

183
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: Davanta Smith in that Philly offense, I think he should

184
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: be drafted as a top ten, certainly top twelve receiver.

185
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: We're talking about drafts next year. The last thing that

186
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you I'm looking at this, I don't I don't hate it,

187
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: but I didn't think we'd be saying this at any

188
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: point this year. I had to put like three question

189
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: marks at the end of it, but it's cam Akers

190
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: League winner, like a bunch of question marks, because that's

191
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: kind of how he's been playing as of late. He's

192
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: the RB one in weeks sixteen right now, when nearly

193
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: thirty five Fantasy points, he score three touchdowns. The week

194
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: before we at thirteen points. He's been on a stretch

195
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: though the last month where like he's been a very

196
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: useful RB two or flex option. And I mean yesterday

197
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: he gave you literally the RB one numbers, and I'm

198
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: guessing there's a lot of teams out there that either

199
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: win zero RB or they were dealing with injuries and

200
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: they were weak at running back, and they were like,

201
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna pick up cam Akers and

202
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: plug him in and see what I get. He's got

203
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: a couple of good matchups. He's given you nineteen nine

204
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: point three thirteen thirty four point seven in the last month.

205
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Like he's there's definitely teams that are going to the

206
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: championship game on the back of cam Akers right now.

207
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: He has been I said it last week. He is

208
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: the best remaining playmaker in that offense. And you also

209
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: kind of wonder, Look, it's been a full year now

210
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: that he's returned basically since his achilles injury. Last year,

211
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't great in the playoffs, he wasn't great this year.

212
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just that he's finally getting healthy too, after

213
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: the full calendar year. I mean, the more time off

214
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: he gets, the better. So it's very believable that the

215
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: this is now the real can acres. So we will

216
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: see what happens next week, but it looks like the

217
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Rams might lean on him for the foreseeable future. Week

218
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: sixteen's top performers Dak Prescott in a big win over

219
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles goes for twenty eight fantasy points. Cam Akers.

220
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: We talked about the huge game, a hundred and eighteen

221
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: on the ground, three rushing touchdowns, nearly thirty five points

222
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: for him. See Dee Lamb did big things on over

223
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: the weekend. The thirty four points there. T J. Hockenson

224
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: had a pretty merry Christmas weekend with nearly thirty six points.

225
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: Matt Gay three field goals, six setra points that's good

226
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: for nineteen and the Rams defense just mauld the Broncos

227
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: six sacks, four picks and a touchdown good for twenty

228
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: one points there. Let's talk about some of these top performers.

229
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Though t J. Hawkinson was pretty good in Detroit. He

230
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: has leveled up going to Minnesota, about three more targets

231
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: per game for him, And you know, I think we

232
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: all sort of agreed he really had league winning potential

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's really shown that these last couple

234
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, I think he uh, he definitely needs

235
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: to join that elite convert like Travis Kelsey's in his

236
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: own tier, but the secondary tier, which is still kind

237
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: of a lead at tight end like Hockinson is firmly

238
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: in there. You can put him in there with Goddard,

239
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: with George Kittle. Any of the tight ends that you

240
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: like is that you know right behind Mark Andrews, right

241
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: behind him. I think t J. Hockenson next season and

242
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: Drafts deserves to be in that And obviously if you

243
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: have him now, you're probably moving on to next week

244
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: and and you're starting t J. Hockenson. They're definitely starting

245
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson. It will be interesting next year. I

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: think when you've got Justin Jefferson, maybe Hawkinson as you're

247
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: number two target. As they're starting to phase Adam feeling out,

248
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb came up huge. And I know there's a

249
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: lot of talk over the weekend about the Eagles against

250
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: slot receivers, and I know some folks might have thought

251
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Noah Brown was a deep sleeper. Turns out the Cowboys

252
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: were just gonna move Seedee Lamb in there and feed him,

253
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: and that seems like a winning formula. I guess this

254
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: is just a reminder that Ceedee Lamb is good at football. Yeah,

255
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: against the toughest secondary in football, he is the wide

256
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: receiver one on the week. Look, you already know that

257
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: you start Ceedee Lamb each and every week, but now

258
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, all he gets the tight ends

259
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: who have allowed the most fantasy points to two receivers,

260
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: the most production on deep passes Ceedee Lamb. Another one

261
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: of those players that if you had him this week,

262
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: he like, I have him in a league or two.

263
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: He carried me to the championship round. I'm hoping he

264
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: could just get me over the top again next week.

265
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: At the start of the year, he was my dark

266
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: horse to be the wide receiver one that getting hurt

267
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: sort of put a wrench in that. But this is

268
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: just again, this is flashes of why I believed that

269
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: could have been the case. Uh, let's see Deante Foreman

270
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: as and I took a pause because, like all week long,

271
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: I was like, don't start Deante Foreman It's gonna be

272
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: a bad situation. And then in the first half the

273
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: Panthers just trampled the Lions. U Foreman finishes with a

274
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five rushing yards and a touchdown. I

275
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: don't really know what to make of this, because you know,

276
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: next week it could be that Foreman gets you, like,

277
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, forty five yards or something like that. But

278
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: I guess if you if you went against our advice

279
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: and you started the Foreman. Congratulations to you. He's a

280
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: hard matchup next week against the Bucks. True full disclosure.

281
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Like before he went off, I was like, oh, I'm

282
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: probably gonna write about him as a sit and again

283
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: next week, and I can't do that now. I don't

284
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: know what happened in this game. Man. The Lions went

285
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: full lines, Like the minute everyone starts giving them credit

286
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: and trusting them, they go back to being who they

287
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: really are. And and we were like, yo, they've been

288
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: shutting down all of these big name running backs. Look

289
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: at all these guys. And then Sam Donald, Chuba Hubbard,

290
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: and Deonce Foreman combined for over two hundred and three

291
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first time. I don't get it. I

292
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: don't get it. I just I'm sorry. I'll take the

293
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: l I told people to sit down to Foreman. Someone

294
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: tweeted me and they were like, you told me to

295
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: sit down to form and I better not see you

296
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: taking any humble brags on Fantasy Live this week. I

297
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, they watched the show. Yeah,

298
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: I was just a swing in a mess, but everything

299
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: about this matchup seemed bad. I was I was against

300
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: starting Deonta Foreman this week too. So if you if

301
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: you said him because of my advice, I apologize for that.

302
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: It just it was just a swing at a miss.

303
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. Tee Higgins comes through

304
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: with a big one. And again, look, we know Jamar

305
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: Chase is going to get his opportunities there. I guess

306
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise that the Patriots just I know they

307
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: came almost won that game. They came back, but the

308
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Patriots defense got shredded in that first half. Yeah they did.

309
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: They made it real interesting down this stretch. But Tee Higgins, man,

310
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: he is. We know that Tee Higgins is healthy. He's

311
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: one of the very best wide receivers in football. Hopefully

312
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: you survived a couple of weeks ago when he didn't

313
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: play a snap and and you stuck with him because

314
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: if you have, he's been really good in the fantasy playoffs. Uh.

315
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: And then next week. Next week the Bengals and Bills

316
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: play on Monday Night football. I imagine a bunch of

317
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: championship games are gonna come down to. I'm so excited

318
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: for that game. That's gonna be a really great Monday

319
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: night game. And you're right, it's gonna means a lot

320
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: for NFL playoff seedings, means a ton for fantasy championships,

321
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have so many fantasy relevant players playing

322
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: in that game on Monday Night, that one is going

323
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: to be very interesting to watch. Last one. Jalen Waddle

324
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: had a big catch and run for a touchdown in

325
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: that one, and uh five for one three and a score.

326
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: They're just a reminder that the Dolphins, even with two

327
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: of struggles, their wide receivers are must starts every week. Yep.

328
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: And I know there was a couple of weeks of

329
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: down performance by Jalen Waddle and we were getting questions like, oh,

330
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: should I sit Waddle for this person? And I told

331
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: everyone who asked me about Waddle to start Waddle. Uh,

332
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: And my logic the same reason I was behind too,

333
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: and that one kind of swung and miss. But there's

334
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: just far too much upside in this offense and too

335
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: much explosiveness. So like, yeah, next week against the Patriots

336
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: and the cold weather, blah blah blah blah blah, you're

337
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: still starting. They're still starting Jalen Waddle, just like you'd

338
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: still be starting Tyreek Hill. They are sort of a

339
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: one A one b situation there in Miami. So start

340
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: both those guys, those the guys that made us happy.

341
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: How about the guys who broke our hearts this weekend?

342
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Who was one of your big disappointments? Vermondre Stevenson. I

343
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: went on Fantasy Live this week and said, sit every

344
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: patriot not named Vermandra, and then Ramandre went out and

345
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: gave you three point three Fantasy points. He had a fumble,

346
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: nearly had a touchdown. Could if he didn't fumble the

347
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: ball probably has a touchdown. Um. Yeah, it was just

348
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: as good as he was the week before, which was

349
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: the week where we didn't know if he was gonna

350
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: play or not, and then if you trusted him, he

351
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: ended up going off for you, giving you over twenty

352
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. As good as he was that week, he

353
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: was bad this week. I in one league with Romandra,

354
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: got bumped in one. I'm hoping to survive. And the

355
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: thing is they get next week the Dolphins in New England. Like,

356
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back from more Romandra. You're gonna go

357
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: back for more Romandra. The matchup is good and he's

358
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: still getting so much volume, but that one definitely hurt.

359
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of things that hurt Davontae Adams being shut down again,

360
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's completely DeVante or if

361
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: it's just that the Raiders just don't seem to be

362
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: able to get him the ball very easily to catches

363
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen yards. The nine targets was nice, but they

364
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: it just it just was hard. You see their their

365
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: car sort of airmailing throws, just not able to get

366
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: him the ball regularly or in spaces where he can

367
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: do things with it. And it just is weird that

368
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders seem to have a habit of this. Here

369
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: it is you traded for arguably the best receiver in

370
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: the league. You you threw the bag at him afterwards

371
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: to keep him there, and it just seems like you

372
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: struggle to integrate him into the offense on a regular basis.

373
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: And I get it the weather was not great, but

374
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: you saw Kenny Pickett able to get George Pickens involved.

375
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. It's frustrating and I'm sure it

376
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: really killed a lot of Fantasy managers this week. Uh,

377
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: you have another receiver who we let us down, Yes,

378
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs Um. In the Fantasy Live League, I have

379
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: Romandre Fields and Stefon Diggs. That was not not a

380
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: very fun Saturday afternoon watching these games. And Stefon Diggs

381
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: caught both of his targets for twenty six yards and

382
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: that was it. And yeah, you could say this is

383
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: one bad game, but this has been a trend as

384
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: of late. He hasn't had double digit targets in a month.

385
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Uh in two of those games in the last month,

386
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: he has five targets or less. Routinely, it feels like

387
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: Diggs is on the sideline going up to McDermott and

388
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: Allen and being like, give me the ball, like I

389
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: am your best player. I don't understand why they are

390
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: routinely taking away their best player and throwing the ball

391
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: to like Isaiah mackenzie. But that's what they're doing right now.

392
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: And you're still starting Stefon Diggs neck this week. But

393
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm definitely way more worried than anticipating. I know that's

394
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: already a question that that we're getting is should people

395
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: be sitting Steffon Diggs. I can't in good conscience say

396
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: you're sitting him, but it's definitely been frustrating, also frustrating

397
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: watching Aaron Jones on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins last week.

398
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: Both Jones and a J. Dillon had really nice games

399
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: against that Rams defense. Felt like they could do something

400
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: similar against the Miami defense that has struggled against the

401
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: run all season long. But six carries, just two receptions,

402
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: just not a lot of usage for Aaron Jones in

403
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: that game, and one in which the backers sort of

404
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: had to hang on to win. If it wasn't for

405
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: the three interceptions that two or through in the second half,

406
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe Miami wins that game. I just expected

407
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: you'd see more usage out of Aaron Jones and it was.

408
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: It was frustrating because the matchup was good and he's

409
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: one of the best playmakers. Arguably A J. Dillon has

410
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: been getting more work than him lately. I I don't

411
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: really get it. It's it's so confusing because there's just

412
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: no consistency to how they're using their backs. They're in

413
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Let's look at some of the top waiver

414
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: wire targets for the week, Flory, I'll take us through

415
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: your list. Daniel Jones in play as a streamer against

416
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: the Colts. Brock Party continues to be a streaming option,

417
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: gets a good matchup against the Raiders, Gardner Minshew in play.

418
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: If Jalen hurts once again, sits Tyler Algere with a

419
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: great matchup. He's the running back that I want to

420
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: start from Atlanta right now. Chuba Hubbard has been getting

421
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: more work and James Cook has also been getting some

422
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: more work if you're going a little bit deeper at

423
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: running back. Some receivers DJ Shark and a good matchup

424
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: against the Bears. Definitely a streaming option. John Dodson quarterbacks

425
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: up in the air, but he's still in play if

426
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: you need a streamer. So are the Giants guys. Isaiah

427
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Hodgins has been red hot, Richie James getting action out

428
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: of the slot, and then the only tight end, because

429
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: unless you're streaming a tight end, you shouldn't be looking

430
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: to pick any up this week with just one week ago.

431
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee though very much so in play after what

432
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: he just did yesterday against the Brown I was already,

433
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, we put this yet doc together. We're sort

434
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: of filling things in on Saturday, and you'll talk about

435
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: the players to drop. But I originally had Tyler Higbee

436
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: in there, and then the Rams game happened. I'm like,

437
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: you just can't really dropped Tyler after he scores a couple.

438
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: I had him as a sit as an early sit

439
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: candidate too. By the way, if you want more waiver

440
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: Wire names, you know, I check out Matt Okatta's weekly

441
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: waiver Wire column NFL dot com slash Waiver Wire. It's

442
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: just that easy. But let's talk about some of the

443
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: names on the list. Brock Purty And I was sort

444
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: of so so on brock Purty this week. And he's

445
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: never given you huge numbers, right, Like, you're not gonna

446
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: start brock Purtty and get twenty five Fantasy points out

447
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: of him, but sixteen he's minimizing the turnovers, he's playing

448
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: decent football, and like he's he's definitely worth a start

449
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: in two QB leagues. I'll say that, yeah, first sure,

450
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: And I think if you've been streaming quarterback, and I

451
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of people out there who have,

452
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Like if you lost Jalen Hurts or Kylin Murray, you

453
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: could have been comfortably in the playoffs. Brock Purty, you

454
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: could do a lot worse than him next week against

455
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who have given up a bunch of production

456
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: through the past the game, Like I do agree. I

457
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: think the floor probably around fifteen sixteen, but in this

458
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: good matchup, and he has the chance to to sit

459
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: somewhere around twenty fantasy points, and if you're getting out

460
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: of a streamer, I think he'll be very happy. Raiders

461
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: just gave up a game winning drive to Kenny Pickett

462
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: in sub zero temperatures, So brock Purty definitely in play.

463
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Algier, we talked about him a little bit. He's

464
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: getting more work. There's sort of I won't say phasing

465
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: Cordero Patterson out, but there's certainly increasing what Algier does.

466
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: We know they want to run the football and so

467
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: if you if you need a running back you need

468
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: to flex, maybe he's a guy you look at this week. Yeah,

469
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I would definitely be picking him up, and I think

470
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: he is the top streaming running back option. This week

471
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: he had eighteen carries. This past week Patterson just had eight.

472
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: He played more snaps and Patterson did, plus he was

473
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: used in the past game a bit. Patterson only had

474
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: one target. We saw five go to Tyler Algier. Not

475
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: only is he getting more volume now, he's also much

476
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: more explosive. He's the back that they use near the goal. Line.

477
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: At times, I think Cordero Patterson is droppable, and meanwhile,

478
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Algier is someone that you could start in a

479
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: good matchup this week. Very curious to see next year

480
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: sort of how the Falcons operate. Is it heavy Algae

481
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: or what happens with Cordarol Patterson And this might be

482
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: a chance to kind of showcase himself for three season.

483
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson. We talked about what maybe a return to

484
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz would mean at least yesterday though like the

485
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, John Dotson's kind of come back

486
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: to life after a long stretch of nothingness. Yeah, a

487
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: touchdown in three straight games, the lowest fifty four yards,

488
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: the highest one oh five. But what I love is

489
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: at least six targets in each game, nine and two

490
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: of those last three. So he's a receiver who could

491
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: win downfield, he could win in the end zone. He

492
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: just needs volume. I feel a little bit more confident

493
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: in the volume if it's Taylor Heineke out there, because

494
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: we do know that Carson Wentz likes Curtis Samuel Moore.

495
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: But either way, I think if you're going for a

496
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: streaming option at wide receiver, John Dotson is in play

497
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: this week, very much in play, and I know the

498
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Dynasty folks are starting to buzz again that maybe the

499
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: buy low window is closing on Johan Dotson. That is

500
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: for you guys to argue about Isaiah Hodgens. Now, last week,

501
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland was big on Isaiah Hodgens. She got Adam

502
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: Rank on board the hype train and it paid off

503
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: this past week. Yeah, I was gonna say kudos to

504
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland who was on this very early last week.

505
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: I liked Darius Slate in a lot. He had a

506
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: so so game, but it was Hodgens that had the

507
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: game that I really thought slay and would have eleven targets,

508
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: eight catches, eighty nine yards and a touchdown. He's barely

509
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: leaving the field, playing of the snaps every single week.

510
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: The targets have been a little up and down, but

511
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: at least six in three of his last four games,

512
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: and he has a touchdown in all three games with

513
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: at least six targets. So next week against the Colts

514
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: in a game that I think will be competitive even

515
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: the Giants. It's a big, big game for the Giants,

516
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: So I don't expect them to take their foot off

517
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: the gas even if they have a lead. I think

518
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Hodges doesn't play if you're going a little deeper. Suddenly

519
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: we're getting giants receivers in the mix here. Late in

520
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: the season, James Cooks starting to get more in the

521
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: mix for the Bills. He's kind of been in and

522
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: out of it, but the last few weeks he's been

523
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: very much involved, and I guess I like the fact

524
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: that it kind of come down to a two man

525
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: backfield though there in Buffalo it's been a little bit

526
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: easier to figure now that it's just Singletary and Cook.

527
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: Both those guys had good games, but Cook has a

528
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: ton of receiving upside too. The the usage isn't what

529
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: you want it to be for James Cooke. Devin Singletary

530
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: is still the lead runner. If there's some games where

531
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: like James Cook will split or even get the majority

532
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: of touches, and then there's others where he kind of

533
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: just disappears. But there's so much upside here because he's explosive.

534
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: We saw him breakout along one the other day. Like

535
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: you said, he could get used in the passing games.

536
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: So he's not someone I think you just pick up

537
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: and start, But like if you need someone maybe someone

538
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: got hurt or something like that, if you need to

539
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: grab someone off the waiver wire and plug in your lineup,

540
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: he at least brings upside. That's kind of what we

541
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: like there, especially this time. You're you're looking for those

542
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: upside plays which actually gets us to the players you

543
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: can drop. So if you are adding people, you probably

544
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: need to make some room. Guys with no website probably

545
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: go back to the waiver wire. Who are you looking at?

546
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling, who right now at best is the third

547
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: target in Minnesota. He's behind Justin Jefferson, t J. Hockenson,

548
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: and then he has to compete with Dalvin Cook and

549
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: k J Osborne for targets to is just not a

550
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: lot of upside there. Pretty much anyone you're not starting

551
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: this week can be dropped. As long as your opponent

552
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: can't use that player, you can drop them. So if

553
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: you need a defense, a kicker, maybe you want to

554
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: block your opponent. Everything is in play this week. You

555
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: don't there's literally no tomorrow, so you don't need depth anymore.

556
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: This is really it, Like you know, I'm sure we're

557
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna get some Hey, this is a do or die

558
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: week for me, for everybody, man, it's the championships. So

559
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: along those lines, Kareem Hunt or any of your handcuff

560
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: running backs, as long as your starter, as long as

561
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: the starter on that team is a go, there's no

562
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: point of hanging onto the cream Hunts of the world.

563
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: He's just not getting enough usage. That means, you know,

564
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: I say, a Jalen Warren in Pittsburgh, Uh, you know,

565
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: and a mirrorb Doulah for the Raiders. You get where

566
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm going with this. All these guys that you're holding

567
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: onto as insurance policies, there's no need for insurance in

568
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: this final week. You are playing the guys that you

569
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: are playing, and there's no need to look ahead to

570
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: what's going to come beyond that. I mean that, unless

571
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: you're one of those weird we play week eight team

572
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: leagues for the points, don't do that. Stop doing that.

573
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, Cream Hunt, you'd probably go back to the

574
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: waiver wire at this point. Fair Fair being an umpired,

575
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: you're out of here. You know, I always got tough

576
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: from a baseball game I wasn't even playing in. That's

577
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: a different story for a different show. You know, in

578
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: case you did not make your fantasy playoffs and you're

579
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: looking ahead the next year, we're gonna help you out.

580
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back after the break and have a

581
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: first round mock draft. Our first one. It's way way

582
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: too early. It's probably gonna look very different by the

583
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: time when we get to August. Let's stick around for that.

584
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: On the NFL Fantasy Football show, Hurt, it's a touch

585
00:26:40,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: shown slice somebody, just Jefferson Creek. Here's the touch. Those

586
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: are some of the top players in fantasy football. In

587
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: two that, let's just spin ahead to three and start

588
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: thinking about some mock drafts. Here. It's still a little

589
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: ways away before we're doing this for real, but you know,

590
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: let's let's figure out what things might look like at

591
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: this point in the season. So you're a ten team

592
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: first round mock draft, Floria and I start to alternate

593
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: picks because I mean, it's just the two of us here.

594
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: So the number one overall pick in three, where are

595
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: you going, Austin? Look, last season, he was the r

596
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: B two. Right now currently he's the r B two.

597
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: He's one point less than a point behind Christian McCaffrey,

598
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: but he's still ys tonight, so he'll probably have a

599
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: good lead going on into weeks seventeen. Is the RB one.

600
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: He's doing it right now because of the same way

601
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: he always does it right catches. He's not gonna have

602
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: a blow you away with his rushing yards, but at

603
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: the end of the year he's going to potentially lead

604
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: the position in total yards because of what he gives

605
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: you as a receiver. Then he's their their goal on

606
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: weapon that they just go to all the time. RB

607
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: two last year looking like RB one finish right now.

608
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I know people always want the shiny new toy, but

609
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: at some point we just gotta be like, hey, this

610
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: guy right now is is If he's not the very best,

611
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: he's one of like the top two or three at

612
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: his position, and he's very consistent. The consistency and the

613
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: high ceiling is what gives him the shot at being

614
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: number one. It's also well, I felt comfortable taking Christian

615
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: McCaffrey at number two, and we came into the year

616
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: looking at McCaffrey as a guy who's going to dominate

617
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: the snaps with whatever roster he was on at that

618
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: time it was the Carolina Panthers, he was going to

619
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: get loaded up with touches, get loaded up with receptions.

620
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Now that changed a little bit when he got to

621
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco and they had so many weapons that we

622
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: saw his opportunities sort of scale back a little bit.

623
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: But in the last couple of weeks, with no Jimmy Garoppolo,

624
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: no Deebo Samuel, he's back to being that guy playing

625
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: of the snaps and getting overloaded with touches. Now next

626
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: year it could be sort of what we saw a

627
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. But the fact is his ceiling remains

628
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: as high as anybody in the game. The floor is

629
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: about a stable. He can beat you in any number

630
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of ways. He can catch, touchdown, toil run for touchdowns.

631
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: He's even throwing a touchdown this year. That's how good

632
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: he has been. So I think you're crazy if you

633
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: somehow let McCaffrey get outside the top three in your

634
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues next year. Speaking of three, who do you

635
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: take it that spot at number three? I'm gonna take

636
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: the first Wade receiver off the board in Justin Jefferson,

637
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: and I will not be surprised at all if come this,

638
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, August, if he's going consistently as the number

639
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: one player off the board right now. He's not only

640
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the water receiver one on this season, he is just

641
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: under three hundred and sixty Fantasy points in PPR weeks.

642
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: One other player receiver has over three hundred fantasy points.

643
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: No one has over three thirties. So he is more

644
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: than a full game's worth of points ahead of the

645
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver two, which is Tyreek Hill, and nearly three

646
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: games ahead or even more than that using their their averages,

647
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: ahead of Stefon Diggs, who's the wide receiver three right now,

648
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: and he's only getting better. That's the scary part. Like

649
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: he's finally coming into this year. We were like, all right,

650
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: he's finally in an offense with an offensive minded head

651
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: coach who's gonna throw the ball, who's gonna look to

652
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: get the most out of him. And in weeks, with

653
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: two more regular seasons to go, he already broke Randy

654
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: Moss's Vikings single season receiving yards record. He might get

655
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: to two thousand, Like he's less than two hundred and

656
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty yards away. I think the Vikings are really gonna

657
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: push for him to be the first one that gets

658
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: to two thousand. I saw something that said if he

659
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: gets the two thousand and the Vikings finished was the

660
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: two seed he should be in the m v P discussion,

661
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: and I fully agree. I definitely agree. And I remember

662
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl last year, I asked him who

663
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: would get to two thousand yards first? And see in

664
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: hemor jam Mar Chase, and he was like me, without

665
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: a doubt. I didn't think it'd be this year, but

666
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: but here we are. You you you mentioned less than two

667
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards away from that, you also mentioned

668
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: that there's only one other wide receiver with more than

669
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: three hundred Fantasy points this season. I'm gonna take him

670
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: at number four. It's Tyreek Hill. And he got to

671
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: Miami and we wonder how's it gonna be now that

672
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: he's not catching. He passes from to a tongue of ioloa,

673
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: and Tyreek himself made the statement about Tyrek throws a

674
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: great ball and he's so happy, and everybody kind of

675
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: roasted him, and look, yes, to a tongue of voloa.

676
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: Is not Patrick Mahomes. But man, it hasn't really slow

677
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill down at all. He's at sixteen hundred yards

678
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: and for a while looked like he might be on

679
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: pace for a two thousand yards season, that's gonna be

680
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: tough over the next couple of weeks. But then again,

681
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: if it's Tyreek Hill, would you actually doubt him? The

682
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: way he's getting targets, the way he's making plays. Both

683
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: he and Jalen Waddle are terrorizing defenses right now. You

684
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: just put the ball in his hands and a big

685
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: play is waiting to happen. You want to talk about

686
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: just having a competitive advantage on your roster, having Tyreek

687
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: Hill pretty much gives you that. So, speaking of having

688
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: competitive advantages, by picking one specific player, who would you

689
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: take at number five? The biggest advantage by taking one

690
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion, but one specific player, No

691
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: one gives you a bigger advantage than Travis Kelsey. He

692
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have three hundred Fantasy points yet he's at two,

693
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: But if he was a wide receiver, he would be

694
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: the wide receiver three right now, behind only Jefferson and

695
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. But here's the real crazy part. He has

696
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: two Fantasy points. No other tight end has two hundred,

697
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: No One, Only t J. Hawkinson is within a hundred

698
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy points of him. The tight end three who's Mark

699
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Andrews right now is over a hundred and twenty Fantasy

700
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: points behind Travis Kelsey. Using the other tight ends per

701
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: game averages, it would take Mark Andrews an additional ten

702
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: games just to get caught up to Travis Kelsey right now,

703
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: like he is the ultimate cheek code. He is over

704
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: seven fantasy points more than the per game or just

705
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: around seven then the next closest. That's a touchdown plus

706
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: to catch the point for the catch. Such an advantage.

707
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: You talking about the gap between Travis Kelsey and Mark

708
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: Andrews right it's about a hundred and twenty four points approximately.

709
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: That's as big about as the gap between Mark Andrews

710
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: at three and like the tight end forty three. Oh

711
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: my god, that is how big that gap is for

712
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I mean, it has been the hugest single

713
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: person advantage in We might see articles in the summer

714
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: like take Travis Kelsey one overall and I wouldn't even

715
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: be mad about it. I think it's gonna be a

716
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: discussion point now see how we settle on it. But

717
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: I think that conversation is going to happen because I mean,

718
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: it's the offseason. A lot of weird things happen. Number

719
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: six and maybe this feels a little bit strange after

720
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: we talked about this player as being a disappointment this

721
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: past week, But overall, Stefon Diggs continues to be an

722
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: advantage for folks. He tends to give you a leg

723
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: up on a week to week basis. Yes, the last

724
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: few weeks have been a little bit down, but this

725
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: is still one of the more dynamic, high powered off

726
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: instance in the league and Stefon Diggs is still the

727
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: number one option in Buffalo's passing games. So even though

728
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: the floor has been unstable in recent weeks, the ceiling

729
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: remains high. Any given week, you can still see a

730
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: big blow up game for Stefon Diggs. He's given you

731
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns this year over thirteen hundred yards, very

732
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: much in play to get you to fifteen hundred yards

733
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: over a hundred receptions. He is still far and away

734
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: one of the more elite players at this position in

735
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. And even if the last month has left

736
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: a bad taste in your mouth, I think you'll be

737
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: able to sort of forget a lot of that by

738
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: the time we get to the end of next summer.

739
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: So Stefon Diggs goes at number six and at this point,

740
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: we've got three receivers off the board. We have gone

741
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: four straight pass catchers here. Do you go back to

742
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: a running back at number seven? Nope. I think I

743
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a trend next year. I

744
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: think the first round is gonna be littered with receivers

745
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take I think right now, this season

746
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: there's been four elite The three first elite guys are

747
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: already up the board. Give me the one remaining one

748
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 1: in DeVante Adams. Now, I oh, he disappointed this past week.

749
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: I know that Davante Adams has been more up and

750
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: down this year with Derek Carr than he has been

751
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers in the past, but he's still putting

752
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: up elite numbers right now. He's still the wide receiver

753
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: for on this season. He's given you over almost yards

754
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: right now, still catching a bunch of touchdowns. My only concern,

755
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: and the only thing I think that could knock him

756
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: lower than this in drafts next season, is who's gonna

757
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: be their quarterback? Because it feels to me like things

758
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: are gonna change in Vegas next year, either whether that

759
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: be the coach or the quarterback or something. The one

760
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: thing that will remain consistent is Davante Adams will be

761
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: there catching passes from whoever is throwing them. So Davante

762
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: Adams comes in at number seven. At number eight, I

763
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: will get back to the running backs here, and I'm

764
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: gonna take se Kwon Barkley. And I was big on

765
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: the kuantaissance early in the season. Now he did sort

766
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: of have a little bit of a speed bump in

767
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, but he's still been very good.

768
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: The usage has been very high. More importantly, he stayed healthy,

769
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: he and it's remained explosive. He's very much involved in

770
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: the passing game. I think it's sort of weird that

771
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: for all the catches he has, uh, he does not

772
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: have a receiving touchdown this season, But I think that's

773
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: sort of more a fluke than anything else. When you

774
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: look at him, he is actually tied for fifth in

775
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: with running backs in receptions. But it's just more that

776
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: we're back to seeing the sea Quan we saw his

777
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: first couple of years. Again, he's explosive, he's healthy, and

778
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: he's the focal point of the Giants offense. And I

779
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be good enough to get him into

780
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: the first round, number nine. You wanna talk about life

781
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: comes at you fast. This guy was on top of

782
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: the world. This year has sort of knocked him down

783
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: a few pigs. Yeah. I said last week when he

784
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: got hurt that Jonathan Taylor would not be the number

785
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: one overall pick, but he would still be a first

786
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: round pick, and that's what we see here. He went

787
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: at nine overall. And I don't want to knock Jonathan

788
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: Taylor because I'm a big fan of his. I do

789
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: think last season, when he finishes the RB one, I

790
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: think it was the lowest amount of points for an

791
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: RB one in like a few years. It seems like

792
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: they broke right for him. I still think he's awesome.

793
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: Maybe not the overall RB one because of the team

794
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: around him. We got to see what they do with

795
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: quarterback with the offensive line, but still far too much explosiveness.

796
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: He's improved as a pass catcher. Again, not the overall

797
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: RB one, but I still think he should be in

798
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: the top five running back conversation. I just think the

799
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: talent is too much and the opportunity when he's healthy

800
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: is going to be enough to keep him in the

801
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: first round. In a lot of leagues, similarly rounding out

802
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: our top ten. And I had a lot of options

803
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: here at this this final spot. I decided to go

804
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry because the King is still the King,

805
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: you know all tractor Seto still doing his thing, had

806
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: the long touchdown run this past week against the Houston Texans,

807
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: and still is just an absolute battering ram when he

808
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: gets his hands on the ball, and the Titans still

809
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: building their offense around him all these years later, and

810
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: you look at Derrick Henry. He's over four d rushing yards,

811
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: got the double digit touchdowns. This is just what he does.

812
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: But on top of it, the receiving them are bigger

813
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: than they have been in the past. Three d and

814
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: seventy nine receiving yards. They're starting to just occasionally throw

815
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: him the ball out in space, maybe get a couple

816
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: of blockers out in front of him, not that he

817
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: needs any, but you give him some extra help along

818
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines here when you're dealing with defensive backs, and

819
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: it just seems like a big play waiting to happen. So, yeah,

820
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry not be the lockdown top five pick that

821
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: he had been earlier in his career. But I just

822
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: don't really see him falling out of the top five

823
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: or top ten, I should say, not falling out of

824
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: the first round. So looking at it, just a quick

825
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: recap of our picks. Ecklert one, McCaffrey to Justin Jefferson

826
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: goes three, Tyreek Kill at four, Travis Kelsey's at five,

827
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs at six, Davante Adams at seven, se Kwon

828
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: Barkley eight, Jonathan Taylor nine, Derrick Henry ten, anybody else

829
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: that that might be vying for first round honors that

830
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: maybe we didn't get in here. Um. I I don't

831
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: think any there's any other tight end that belongs in there.

832
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: As much as I want to push a quarterback like

833
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: Hurts or Alan Up or Mahomes, I think round two

834
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: is probably a better fit for them. I think we

835
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: got the receivers who go belong there. The one running

836
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: back that Josh Jacobs could end up anywhere, I'm not

837
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: really but Tony Pollard was one that I'm him and

838
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: Ramandre Stevenson were two that I considered strongly but ultimately

839
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: decided against. Josh Jacobs. I feel like it depends on

840
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: what his situation is next year. If he's with the Raiders,

841
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: where he potentially lands with the offense around him. Looks

842
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: like I think that's going to be impactful on him,

843
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: you know. But we didn't mention Dalvin Cook. We didn't

844
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: mention Nick Chubb, A J. Brown, Alvin Camaro, Alvin Kimara.

845
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: Those are names that that were used to seeing kind

846
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: of hovering around that bottom part of the first round.

847
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: They didn't make it again. This is it's December, right,

848
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: Like this is going to change drastically. A lot will change.

849
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: But I do think we're gonna see a lot of

850
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: the usual first round names go more in the second

851
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: or third, like all those names that you just said,

852
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: and uh, I'd add Aaron Jones, Joe Mixing into that

853
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: group Like those are gonna be what makes up the

854
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: second and third round, which kind of if you could

855
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: get like a running back like that in like the

856
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: third round, even more reason to take a receiver. Ceedee

857
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: Lamb is the one I was just that just popped

858
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: in my head that I could see making it into

859
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: the first Definitely creep in the last thing you mentioned.

860
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Second round for quarterbacks, Mahomes, Alan Hurts, whatever, who do

861
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: you think is going to be the consensus number one quarterback?

862
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: This this offseason. Hurts, Yeah, agreed. I think it's Sjalen Hurts.

863
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: It's the passing, it's with the rushing. You know, Josh

864
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: Allen is definitely in the conversation. But I think Hurts

865
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: is good at meeting. I think Mahomes will firmly be three.

866
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: I think the debate will be Alan versu Hurt, which

867
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be weird that Patrick Mahomes might end up

868
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: being a draft bargain because he's the third quarterback off

869
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: the board. It's not a bad guy to have faulty

870
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: if that's going to be the case. Of course, we'll

871
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: do more of these as we go through the off season,

872
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they will change quite a bit between

873
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: now and say July or August. NFL Plus is here,

881
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: The guys that we didn't get to fit anywhere else

882
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: into the show. Who deserve a little bit love for

883
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: their performances. So who deserves a Madden ratings boost this week?

884
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Shane Zilstro. He's a sixty two overall right now on

885
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Madden and he just went out this week. He caught

886
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: five of his six targets for twenty six yards and

887
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He deserves some love after that twenty five

888
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: point six fantasy point day. Um. I will say he

889
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: had more targets in this game than he had in

890
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: the entire season combined. So I'm not advocating to start

891
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: him next week or stream him like that, especially the

892
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: Bears have been tough against tight ends. But hey, for

893
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: one week. I don't know anyone who streamed Shane Zilstra,

894
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: but if you did, kudos, see you, and just for

895
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: a week, he deserves some love and he deserves a

896
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: boost and Madden. Most people don't even know who he is.

897
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: I tweeted about Shane Zilstra and somebody responded, you mean ended.

898
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, Shane brother, Shane zil Stress. So I'm

899
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: pretty sure no one started him at all. Kindrick Borne

900
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: might have been a guy that some people started maybe

901
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: out of desperation, and this is a guy who's a

902
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: talented player who just never gets a lot of opportunity.

903
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: Part of it because the Bengals are The Patriots passing

904
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: game has been really bad, but against the Bengals, found

905
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: a way to have himself a day six catches for

906
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and a touchdown, also twenty nine rushing

907
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: yards to help the Patriots nearly come from behind and win. Now,

908
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: because of the struggles and inconsistency of New England's aerial attack,

909
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to count on Kindrick Born weekend and week out.

910
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: I still think Jacoby Myers is maybe the guy that

911
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: you believe in the most, but maybe looking forward, there's

912
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: something there with Kindrick Borne, who knows he's been around

913
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: the league a little bit, but had himself a nice

914
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: day on Sunday, and we should at least recognize that.

915
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: Who else gets a Madden boost for you this week?

916
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, who is a seventy nine overall right now

917
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: he needs to join the A D club in my opinion,

918
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: And this past week in a super tough matchup against

919
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, whose secondary really kept the Jaguars receivers in check,

920
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: it was bad weather out, he still went out and

921
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: put up good fantasy numbers because of what he gave

922
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: you with his legs with fifty one rushing yards and

923
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. That is one aspect of his game

924
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: that I think doesn't get enough love. He is good

925
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: with his legs, he's mobile, and he's very sneaky near

926
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: the goal on. That was one thing that jumped out

927
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: at me when he was coming out of college, is

928
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: how great he is that's selling the handoff near the

929
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: goal on and just running it in himself. But he's

930
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: on a hot streak right now. He finishes up next

931
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: week against the Houston Texans. I think you continue to

932
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: just start him every single week if you have him

933
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: right now, I think Trevor Lawrence maybe not, you know,

934
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: like the strongest case for Fantasy playoff m v P,

935
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: but there's definitely a case to be made. Right now.

936
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: He's the QB five overall. Would you draft him? Would

937
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: you draft him as the top five QB next year? Um?

938
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: I think after after hurts Alan Mahomes, he is in that.

939
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll crack top five, but he's

940
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: in that next year. Yeah, he was still think he

941
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: got Joe Burrow, who's in there justin fields probably gonna

942
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: be hanging around the well. So he's definitely top ten.

943
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Question is does he get to top five. Gardner Minshow's

944
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: not going to be a top five quarterback next year,

945
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: but he deserves some mad love for what he did

946
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend against the Dallas Cowboys very nearly got

947
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: the Eagles to a win over three fifty passing yards,

948
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, ran for a score. I was

949
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: very hesitant people asked about Gardner Minshew. I didn't really

950
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: get behind him. I was worried he played well. So

951
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: I will admit that I I sort of missed on

952
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: that one. I didn't think he'd be terrible. I just

953
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: my fear is that he was gonna give you like

954
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: fourteen points and you just weren't gonna be able to

955
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: do much with that. But instead, if you started him,

956
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: you got a very nice day nearly twenty three fantasy points.

957
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: And you know, I tweeted, does he get a Mitched

958
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: Robinsky type bag next year? When people look and say, hey, man,

959
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew can still play, and then he's, you know,

960
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 1: I don't know, gets a starting job with some mediocre team.

961
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he's starting for the Tech or something. You know,

962
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: the Colts. Colts very well could happen, although I think

963
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the Colts is that you're gonna

964
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: have Zach Wilson backing up Derek Carr in Indianapolis next year.

965
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: All right, send Gardner Minshew to the Jets Giants. Gardner's

966
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: personality in New York City would love to see it.

967
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: I think that'd be fun to watch. That is it.

968
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: We are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the

969
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football show. You know the drill, tell too friends,

970
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: to tell to friends, rate review and remember there are

971
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,320
