Speaker 1: Rank right there. Remember you can always tweet the show

Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy. It's one word kick it off with.

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would say a bang, but

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: people excited about Johnny Manzel. You look at that broadcast

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: map and you see the percentage of the United States

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: is going to be getting that game as the national broadcast.

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: And ya, it's bigger than anything else. So his first

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: start this weekend versus the Bengals just straight out the

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Gates Nut cutting time here, rank which quarterbacks you mentioned

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: to play. Johnny Manzell versus the Bengals, I would banch

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Colin kaepern Okay, there's one in that game, Red Dalton,

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: I'd bench him. Andy Dalson, you would do even though

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: he's coming off that big performance against the Steeler. You

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: look at his history against the Cleveland It's the Cleveland Browns.

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: It's been pretty bad. It has. He's had a hundred

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: passing yards in back to back games against him. They

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: always seem to find a way to take a j

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Green out of that game too. So I would easily

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: go with Johnny Football over that. And really, if you

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: look at the show over the last week Monday, I

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: was staunched like I would never do such a thing.

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: But now it's Friday and it's reality a Hill versus

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: the Patriot. Hills out, Okay, Tannehill's out, Josh McCown or

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson because of the Cam Newton injury. People looking

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: for somebody Johnny Football, Johnny Football again. Alright, so Cam

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Newton's out for you, Johnny Football. Philip Rivers struggled late

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: and and Philip Rivers on your Fantasy Live team. You're

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: in the final four, going up against halves this weekend.

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: I have Johnny Football, and I've got I got you.

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: I have family coming in from Vegas will probably talk

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: me into making a bad decision and starting Johnny Football. Okay, there,

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: we can just cut to the town where now we're

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: doing it over Philip Rivers. How about Mark Sanchez This

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: is a little bit too much. Mark Tantance is my starting, Okay.

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: And finally Jay Cutler, who seemingly has a pension to

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Uh, but he still has nationally televised games

49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: on Monday night. He's still has huge fantasy games. Okay,

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: So with right, so there we go. Okay, We'll have

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: more on Johnny Manziel and some other bold playoff moves later,

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: but for now we toss it over to Marcus Grant

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: your money. I am here is always getting you caught

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: up with all the news that it's from around the

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: National Football League. We will start in Atlanta, where Falcon's

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver Julio Jones miss practice again on Friday and

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: is listed for as questionable for Sunday's game against the

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones is dealing with a hip injury he

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: suffered Monday night against the Green Bay Packers. He has

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: a practice all week, so if you want to play

61
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: it safe, I suggest to go out and get Harry

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Douglas off of the waiver wire. Douglas is only fewer

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: than five percent of leagues and has previously played very

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: well whenever either Jones or Roddy White hasn't been absent.

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Some good news in green Bay now, Packers running back

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is listed as probable for the game against

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: the Bills on Sunday. Lacey suffered a hip injury against

68
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons on Monday night. He's been limited in practice

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: all week. So if you haven't already handcuffed Lacey to

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: James starts, I would suggest you do so immediately, like

71
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: like right now. But it doesn't matter who starts for

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: the pack at running back. Expect they're going to have

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: a very tough matchup against what's been a very good

74
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Bills run defense all season long. Chargers running back Ryan

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: Matthews miss practice again on Friday, hasn't practiced all week.

76
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Matthews left the game in the third quarter or last

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Sunday against the New England Patriots. It didn't return if

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Matthews can't go this week, either Donald Brown rookie Brandon

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Ouvre will be in there to start. They would likely

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: split carries. However, you're where the Broncos have a very

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: good run defense, so it might be look worth looking

82
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: somewhere else if you're looking for running back help in

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: this situation. Meanwhile, speaking with the media on Thursday, Cincinnati

84
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Bengals running back Giovanni Bernard confirmed that rookie Jeremy Hill

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: will start Sunday against the Browns. These two backs had

86
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: been splitting Carris since Bernard came back from a hit

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: injury three weeks ago, but Hill has been the better back,

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: averaging almost a yard more per carry. If you're a

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard owner who didn't hand up him to Hill

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, look, it's not gonna happen at

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: this point. I would certainly be worried about Bernard's potential

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: this week. You're gonna have to look else, somewhere else

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: if you want a starting running back, be sure's that

94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: your DVRs. For our late airing of NFL Fantasy Life.

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: For all the latest injury news and updates for your roster,

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: check us out to a m Eastern eleven pm Pacific

97
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: right here on NFL Network for more. Now we'll throw

98
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: it back to money in Adam h That was a

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: good Marathon News segment. Here we go out to St.

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: Louis the Edward Jones Dome, an NFC West showdown between

101
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: two of the best defenses, and that will be a

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: theme in the land. Rams getting things rolling. Third and eleven,

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: how about Sean Hill Benny Cunningham picks up nineteen yards

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: down to the thirty seven yard line. That's enough? Are

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: these are offensive highlights? Yes, nineteen yard gain and uh

106
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: that would set up great through line for a field goal.

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Rams look attack on more Trey Mason handoff. Yeah, so

108
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: they're said minus two their foot recovers, they have the

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: twenty seven yard line. The Cards would cash in on

110
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: a third and for Kerwin Williams takes the draw for

111
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: eleven yard. He's picked up the first down, leads to

112
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: a field goal of their own. Game tied at three,

113
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Arizona keeps it going and here is your big play.

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: By big play, we mean the only big play of

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: the game. He's forty nine yard gain for Michael Floyd

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: down to the thirty six You know what the Cards

117
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: would do get another field goal looking for more Stanton.

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: This is ugly sacked by the rookie out of Pittsburgh

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: having a heck of a year, Aaron Donald. Dan leaves

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: the game with a knee injury, replaced by Ryan Lindley

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Moore on that in a moment, so a couple of

122
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: field goals later, Rams down twelve three Stepman Bailey thirty

123
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: eight yard game. We told you forty nine yards was

124
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: the biggest play of the game, at least another field

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: goal Bailey actually not at seventy four yards, so that

126
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: is probably your peak performer outside of the defense. Rams

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: one last shot, final play Hill Airs one out Patrick Peterson.

128
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: It's the easy pay, nice two point bounce. Absolutely Cardinals

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: win twelve the six zero touchdowns. If you started rookie

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Chandler Caton Zoro feeling pretty good Outside of that Cardinals

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: defense of the thirteen fantasy points, so the Cardinals d

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: had a nice night. Two sacks, interception, fumble recovery, only

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: six points allowed third team fantasy points. The big question

134
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: now at them rank, will you play him next weekend

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: versus the Seahawks or where you look to stream a

136
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: better matchup it's gonna be kind of tough, because you know,

137
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are a pretty good matchup for them. But

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I would actually play their defense. I wouldn't worry too

139
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: much about it because they go out there and they

140
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. Now, Russell Wilson does the best

141
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: job of pretty much any quarterback in the league of

142
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: avoiding pressure, of extending plays, of never seeming to take sacks.

143
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: But this defense is has been playing way too well.

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: And we talked about it a little bit on Thursday's

145
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: show that despite all the injuries that they have, they

146
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: this team has had some countries both offensively and defensively,

147
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: and they still are going out there and putting up

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: huge performances. And if you listen to Bruce Arians after

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: the game and during his press conference, obviously this team

150
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: has a chip on its shoulder is taking that as

151
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: a sense of pride. So I really expect the great

152
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: performance out of them next week, going up against the champs.

153
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: They could go ahead and lock up the division with

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: the win. I think we're gonna see a great performance

155
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: from them. Now, I'm with you that front. Like you said,

156
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: despite all the injuries and attrition, how about nine out

157
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: of ten opponents being held to less than twenty points.

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: They get to the quarterback, they intercept the ball, they

159
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: have a good return game, So no question, do not

160
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: worry about it. Keeps starting the Cardinals defense. Let's get

161
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: to the running backs for Arizona. Curran Williams Stefan Taylor

162
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: both decent numbers on the ground. Williams seventy five yards,

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Taylor sixty one yards. Would you start either? But that

164
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: was a lot better. It was a lot better I

165
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be. Certainly was still wouldn't start

166
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: them against Seattle. Still figure they're gonna have to run

167
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the ball a lot. But as you saw last night,

168
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: what you saw from Trey Mason is that even when

169
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: you go up against a tough defense, it's just so

170
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: frustrated to watch your running back running into those stacked fronts.

171
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: And even if stant is limited, they're gonna have to

172
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: find other ways to get people the ball. And I

173
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: just can't expect them to go out there and hand

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: the ball off of these guys and expect any certain

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: this this would be a high water market. They got

176
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: eight points. Next week, I'd be doing back. With the

177
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: injury to Drey Emlington. Any I don't know if this

178
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: is dumb question any value Curran Williams keeper, it's I assume,

179
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: you know, and why not? You just don't know how

180
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna play off once Andrea Ellington gets healthy. I mean,

181
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: certainly it looks like that's going to have to be

182
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: a backfield by committee in Arizona because of the dominutive

183
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: statue of Andre Ellington. Right, And you know, and the

184
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: cool thing about watch listening to it on the radio

185
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: is Mike Mayo were talking about and talking about how

186
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: much this guy has really improved from the practice squad,

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: been on a practice squad of a number of different

188
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: teams that have gone has been able to establish himself

189
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: pretty good option because I was a good defense he's

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: running against us. Certainly, the Cardinals offense considerably different after

191
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the season ending injury to Carson Palmer. They do have

192
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: good pass catchers, though Larry Fitzgerald holding seven catches on

193
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: unfortunately was only thirty yards. Michael Floyd had the two

194
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: receptions for fifty five yards. One of them was the

195
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: forty nine yard reception. So what about the next week? Uh,

196
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, and you don't want to play either one

197
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: of these guys because the Seahawks always have a way

198
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: of stopping those big receivers. It's a short, diminutive guys

199
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: that always seem to give them problems. So I would

200
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: look for somebody like John Brown to go out there

201
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: and have the best chance to put up fantasy points

202
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: against that team. And you saw it last time when

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: you actually called that game. If I'm not mistaken, they

204
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton was taking his shots, George John Brown, and

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: you know, if they could have connected on a couple

206
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: of those, that's really what you're banking on at this point,

207
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: is that you get a couple of one of those

208
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: home run balls or something like that. That's really all

209
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: you can hope for from them passing. And if you're

210
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: wondering what the quarterback situation is in Arizona after you

211
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: saw Drew standing, they're hobbling off the field week to week,

212
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Nie Sprain week dew weeks. So good news coming out

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: of that, m R. I Uh, nothing apparently to damage

214
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: and we still don't have all the details, but that's

215
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the way it's being described. So moving forward, that will

216
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: be the guy looks like that has a potential to

217
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: be throwing the balls to Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd.

218
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: But again you're talking zero touchdowns for Floyd or I

219
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: should say for Larry Fitzgerald five straight. And I believe

220
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd has been shut out of the end zone

221
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: seven and eight. So we're gonna see I expect to see.

222
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: I expect to see a similar type game with a

223
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of field goals, a lot of field position being

224
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, going back and forth like that. I don't

225
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: expect to see a lot of points. Or that's what

226
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: you started. Kicker all right, other side of the ball, Traymation,

227
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: Trey Mason as well, not mation, but Mason thirteen carries

228
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: thirty three yards, lost a fumble, and we knew this

229
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be tough. We just assumed he would get

230
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: the touches and that might produce some points. One point three, bad,

231
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: bad deal. How about next week versus the Giants? Yeah,

232
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: next week against the Giants, if you're able to survive,

233
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: because a lot of us started him. I I'm just

234
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: speaking for myself right here, and I had him in

235
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: a flex spot and I'm looking at that one point

236
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: three because he did have the fumble apprutal and I'm like,

237
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, what if I'm able to survive in advance,

238
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: I would play him next week against the Giants. He

239
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: should get some more opportunities. They were trying to find

240
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: creative ways to get to the wall as you see

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: that player right there. But you know what, that Cardinals

242
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: front four was just playing so well. They were snipping

243
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: everything out. There really wasn't much room to really go

244
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: out and do anything. And even though last week we

245
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: saw the Jamal Charles do pretty well, and we didn't

246
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: want to compare him to Jamal Charles, but it did

247
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: show that somebody, well, it didn't show that people can

248
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: go out. You know, sometimes you gotta play good players

249
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: against a tough matchup. Sometimes it works out sometimes at

250
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: that and you know, there was a moment actually in

251
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: that game where Shaun Hill had him in the flat

252
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: and it could have led to a big game and

253
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: just overthrew Trey Mason. So and that's what Jamal Charles

254
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: was doing for Kansas City. That was so effective. All right,

255
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Still to come on, NFL bangs Alive. Don't let this

256
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: week's tough fantasy dilemmas make you pull your hair off.

00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the same game. You see what I'm saying, I'm going

Speaker 1: to stick. You know what I'm going both, But you

275
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: the Browns. I'm going j Hill here. He's been a

276
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: lot more productive back there. Yeah, he's been a much

277
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: better back going Jeremy Hill really mean, well, I need discord,

278

Speaker 1: I need something. Stephen Jackson versus the Steelers, the Garrett

279
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Blunts versus the Dolphins. I'm going with Garrett Blunt. How

280
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: dare you, Garret Bunch? Put this list to Garrett and

281
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Matthews versus the Cowboys, or DeAndre Hopkins versus the Colts.

282
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: Here we go. Now, I will go with the other guy.

283
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: I already forgot who it was. Jordan Matthews versus the Cowboys.

284
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: All right, here's a good one. How about Kenny Stills

285
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: versus the Bears or a J. Green versus the I'm

286
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: going a J. Green. I would go a J. Green.

287
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: I understand because Kenny Stills it's still a Saints receive.

288
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: You can't completely trust those guys, didn't you guys see

289

Speaker 1: these last two games. You see the targets eleven of them.

310
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: You see the receptions three of them. And that's not

311
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: because Drew Brees was off the mark. It's because Jimmy

312
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: Grant was dropping a whole lot of balls, just twenty

313
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: five yards and two point five fantasy points. So is

314
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: this the elixir, the panacea, if you will, this Bears

315
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: defense that has been brutal all season. I think it is.

316
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: I think this is the week we see him get back.

317
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And last week was encouraging at least because the ball

318
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: was throwing his way a lot more. I mean two

319
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago he had zero targets and that was when

320
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: the alarm bells went off. But the ball is going

321
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: his way again, So I think against the Bears, you

322
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: see him bounce back. I feel a lot more confident

323
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: putting him in my lineup. And we're making baby steps

324
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: here and we went from zero targets to eleven targets.

325
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Now we'll just work in the receptions. Although when we

326
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: were looking at the rankings right there, I actually have

327
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett ranked ahead of Jimmy Graham this week. I

328
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: think he's the guy. If you had to pick one

329
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: guy to play on that Monday night game at the

330
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: tight end position, I would actually start Martellis been It

331
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: over Jimmy grahams It is inexplicable. As we watched the

332
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: b roll here as they like to go it in

333
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: the industry, I mean that ball, those balls are hitting

334
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: him in the hands. I mean they are right on

335
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the mark, they are right in stride. I mean this

336
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: is a touchdown pass perhaps that he dropped. And there

337
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: are some rumors that maybe he's got a shoulder issue,

338
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with some injuries. Everybody's dealing with injuries

339
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: right now. Jimmy Graham has dealt with injuries and performed

340
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: at a high level. You just kind of, I don't know,

341
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: you figure out what it is that's ailing him. Certainly

342
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be that wide open against the Bears,

343
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: and you just hope he grabs those passes. Right, Very true, Absolutely,

344
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: I agree with all that good talk guys what he

345
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: said about Fantasy Live and they're stuck on whom to

346
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: start this weekend. Adam Rank has you covered that? Seal

347
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: his list of likes and dislikes will show you the

348
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: light that's heresy, right, Which of these white outs is

349
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: worth a spot in your lineup? We go team by

350
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: team next to tell you our favorite receiver starts Team

351
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: got dry, She's gonna go pay touchdown? Charison what they

352
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: spectacular pitch touchdown? Denver all broke away at their throwing

353
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: up again toward the crowd. Love every bit of it.

354
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Get a look at our aggregate rankings of the top

355
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: wide receivers here in the post season of your fantasy league.

356
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown on the top, Calvin Johnson number two, Jordy

357
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: Nelson five. What's wrong with our experts? Jordy Nelson had

358
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: had od be at number one. Hey, the consistency from

359
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Odi B is almost unrivaled these days. Here's your rank

360
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: eleven through twenty as we welcome you back to NFL

361
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, presented by bos Mattney Smith. Here Marcus Grant

362
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 1: Adam rank Over on that side of our fancy coffee

363
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: table presented by Bose. Let's talk about wide receiver starts

364
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: that we really like this weekend. And by really I

365
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: mean really like this weekend. How about Marcus. We're gonna

366
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: start with od B when we talk about how great

367
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: this guy has been since he stepped on the field.

368
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: We have the eight a few weeks for him to

369
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: finally get into him, but since then he has made

370
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: up for lost time. I mean, you look at what

371
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: they have in that Giant's offense. It's been inconsistent, but

372
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: certainly Eli Manning has found a weapon. You like the

373
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: waves they get him the football, not just as a receiver,

374
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: but to see him there taking the pitch, being able

375
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: to go around the end. And he's been so good.

376
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Obviously the spectacular Texas have been a big part of it,

377
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: like when you kind of do that stuff like that,

378
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: but even when he gets his hands on the football,

379
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: when he does after the catch is just as amazing.

380
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: I look for him to go over a hundred yards

381
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: yet again this week and a great matchup. You saw

382
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: it there right at the bottom of the screen for

383
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers the

384
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: last four weeks. The Washington Redskins, which will be the

385
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: Giant's opponent. Adam, you're going with a rookie, I'm gonna

386
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: go with Mike Evans. Marcus went with a rookie with

387
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the kie, you know, and coming into the season, Evans

388
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: was the rookie that I like the most to step

389
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: up because what he did at Texas in him. As

390
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: much as we talk about Johnny football, one of the

391
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: big reasons that made him go was because Evans is

392
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: such a great receiver and Josh McCown finally figure this

393
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: out at some point this season he realized, you know

394
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: what I can just shrow the ball up there, and

395
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: this guy is so big and so strong he will

396
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: go up and get it. Plus he runs Bias Griffin,

397
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: Uh defenders them too. He runs past those guys as well.

398
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: So he does a lot of great things on the field.

399
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: So now he's become one of those consistent options. Great

400
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: matchup this week, ton of targets. Yeah, and you know,

401
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: don't let the game against the Saints fulia. Whatever happened

402
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: between the Panthers and Saints is certainly an anomaly based

403
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: on what we had seen all season long from that

404
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: brutal secondary of the Carolina Panthers. So I would not

405
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: use that as a guide whatsoever. When it comes to

406
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: any hesitation over Mike Evans, I'm gonna go with Josh Gordon.

407
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: You talked about Johnny Manziel and how he liked that

408
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: tall receiver you did Adam out there at Texas A

409
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: and M and Josh Gordon. Look, he we said regularly,

410
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: We said it when he came back from his suspension.

411
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: It didn't matter who the quarterback was. Josh Gordon is

412
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: so talented. He is such a touch cover that regardless

413
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: of it being Jason Campbell or Brian Hoyer or now

414
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel. Everybody has success because of those short passes

415
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: and what Gordon can make out of them. So even

416
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: though Johnny Manziel is going to get the business from

417
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis and that defense, and understand this, when Nick

418
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Saban and the Alabama defense tried to go a little

419
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: wacky and exotic and throw everything they could at him,

420
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel absolutely torched Alabama both in Tuscaloosa and at

421
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: College Station. Those were the best games of his college

422
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: career against the best defense that he faced in the SEC.

423
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: So I am not wary at all of Johnny Manzel

424
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: versus Cincinnati, which means I am not upset at all

425
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: about starting Josh Gordon. So now that we have the

426
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: starts we like, let's get to the wide receiver question marks.

427
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is out this week, Derrick Anderson and his

428
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: size seventeen feet get the start for the Panthers. So

429
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: how about Calvin Benjamin with Anderson under center at him?

430
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: I like Kevin Benjamin this week. I know we've talked

431
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: about it before. He is well, he's somebody who's been

432
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: a little bit inconsistent here and there. But I do

433
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: like him this week, because I figure Anderson is going

434
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: to look for him repeatedly. When you get a quarterback

435
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: who doesn't have a lot of not necessarily experience, but

436
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: who hasn't played a lot this season, is number one

437
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: option to go out there is to say, okay, where's

438
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: the number third team lining up? I'm throwing the ball

439
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: to him. I'm gonna let him go out and do

440
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: the majority of the work for me, and so I

441
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: expect that to continue. It happened earlier this season these

442
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: two teams played, and incidentally, Anderson did start against Campa

443
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: Bay earlier this year and he went to Benjamin a

444
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: ton shall I expect more of the same this week.

445
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: The one thing that concerns me about Kelvin Benjamin is

446
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: his inconsistency. Even last week we saw him get a

447
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: touchdown early and you thought, all right, this is the

448
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: start of something really big and it just didn't materialize.

449
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: So you do hope that at least when they get

450
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: down to the goal line. I'll take a couple of

451
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: alleys from Calvin Benjamin bummed out on a guy for

452
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: scoring you a touchdown. And the problem is he has

453
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: a lot of drops. I mean, he has a ton

454
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: of targets, but more than more than any other rookie

455
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver. This guy drops a whole lot of footballs

456
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: that had his way. HJ. Green is a must start

457
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: just playing and simple every single week. Last three games

458
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: you look here versus the Browns, and specifically Joe Hayden,

459
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: who typically shadows him on both sides of the field

460
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: wherever he lines up in the slot on the outside,

461
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: thirty targets averages ten for a game that's great, twelve

462
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: receptions so great, one yards even less great, and fantasy

463
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: points per game two point seven. So are you worried

464
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: about starting A J. Green versus the Browns this week? Marcus?

465
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: I am a little bit worried about you, bencham, unless

466
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: I have some spectacular options. But Kevin Benjamin, I would

467
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: not ben him for Kelvin McKay because I think his

468
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: ceiling is a lot higher. I think even his floor

469
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: is a lot higher than what you can get from Benjamin.

470
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: But Joe Hayden has done a fantastic job against a J. Green.

471
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: In fact, the times he's had even a modicum of

472
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: success have been because he's been able to just hit

473
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: one big pass. He's become essentially a home run hitter.

474
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: He's almost a Kinny Stills type, if you will. When

475
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: it comes to facing Joe Hayden, intermediate routes, the short

476
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: routes just have not been there. So it makes me

477
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: very very nervous. But because he's a j Green, because

478
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: he's such a big part of the Bengals passing game,

479
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: I hesitate to put him on my bench. But you

480
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: say that like I hesitated all that stuff. And last

481
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: week we talked about some big name guys who didn't

482
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: come through, didn't produce. If you have somebody who historically

483
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: is not playing well against a certain opponent and his

484
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: quarterback is Andy Dalton, I look at that and I'm like,

485
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: you know what, I feel comfortable leaving him on the

486
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: must game, must win game for Andy Dalton as tight

487
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: as the a f C North is. I'm with you.

488
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: It makes me absolutely question, all right, Well, if Keenan

489
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Allen found himself on Reva's Island last week, just two

490
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: receptions for three yards, he's gonna have to deal with

491
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: what would it be a keybe partship plago? Does that work? Yeah?

492
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: It's not good last two games versus the Broncos, And

493
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: you know what Unlike Andy Dalton, when the stakes are

494
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: at their highest, Philip Rivers tends to perform, specifically against

495
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos. And here are your numbers. Eighteen targets, eleven

496
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: receptions even better, aren't two yards even better? Fourteen point

497
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: one fantasy points per games? So how about starting Keenan

498
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Allen the Calbert against the Broncos in San Diego. I

499
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: absolutely started Keenan Allen this week. And you look at

500
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: the matchup two quarterbacks, about a lot of success against

501
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos this season. Part of it is because

502
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: they get into these shootouts, but also lately they's quarterbacks

503
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: have just had their way with the Broncos secondary. And

504
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: so I look at Philip Rivers and there's a must

505
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: win for them too, and they need to come out

506
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: and have a pretty good performance. So I expect him

507
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: to go out and have a plus. I expect Peyton

508
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Manning to go out there like he went without a

509
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, which means five are coming this week,

510
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: which means you know it's gonna be a little bit

511
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: of a shootout. So I expect Rivers. I have to

512
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: put the ball into the air con and Allen to

513
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: be the beneficiary. What I do like about Keenan Allen

514
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: is that he sees a lot of targets. Even when

515
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't put up big Fantasy numbers, the ball is

516
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: coming his way a lot. What I would love to

517
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: see is him to really do more after the catch

518
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: because he's not a deep threat. He's not the deep

519
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: threat that I think a lot of people wanted him

520
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: to be this year. If he can break a few tackles,

521
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: if he can pick up some yards after the catch

522
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: and either get in the end zone, that really boost

523
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: his value high expectation. This guys going touchdown on Peyton.

524
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Manning does not do well in the cold, and this

525
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: week he's gotta play in San Diego, which means turnovers,

526
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: which means, uh, it's great running. It's already I want

527
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: to make it to the Fantasy Championship. You can't afford

528
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: to have your running back put up a soup. Next

529
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: will break down the unning backs we trust the most.

530
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:08,560

540
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: you got here, the average when it comes to our

541
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: big brains over NFL dot Com. That happened, Yeah, shocking right,

542
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: two hundred plus yards from swimmageing back to back to

543
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: that week's and going up against well and pretty below

544
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: average defense in Atlanta on the turf Georgia Dome, Jamal

545
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: Charles towards against the Raiders there mark Ingram I think

546
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: maybe I'd put him a little bit higher. Maybe I

547
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: got them all the way up there to number eleven

548
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: and our expert rankings, and you see Jeremy Hill down

549
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: there at number nineteen. You'll get to start at Cleveland.

550
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: So as we welcome you back to NFL Fantasy Live,

551
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the NFL. Matt money

552
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: Smith here with Marcus Grant, just two of us. Remember

553
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: you can always send us your fantasy questions year round

554
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy. So Marcus, let's get into it. Running

555
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: backs that we believe you can trust. Perhaps your wavering,

556
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: but we say all good. Two thumbs up, thumbs up.

557
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: There we go in. The lineup will start in Detroit

558
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: as they take on the Vikings with Joy Bell. Joy

559
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: Bell has been fantastic the last few weeks. I mean

560
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: last week, it was pretty good last week to have

561
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: a running back named Bell. Whether it was Levy On

562
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: or Joy both of those guys put up some solid production.

563
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: To see that the over eighty yards from scrimmage per

564
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: game in his last three games against the Bikings. He's

565
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: been just as good in his last couple of games

566
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: overall as well, Minnesota's run defense has been shaky, and

567
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: you look at what Detroit has done on the ground.

568
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: We know very pass happy team. They're gonna put the

569
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: ball up a lot, but when it comes to actually

570
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: running the football, Joyce Bell has been the most consistent guy.

571
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: We've seen you bush in and out of the lineup

572
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: with injuries. We've seen Theo Riddick be a thing for

573
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but through that all Joy Bell

574
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: has been the guy who's getting it done, whether as

575
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: a runner or a receiver. Maybe you can get another

576
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: flute touchdown two of the ball batted in the air.

577
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: M okay with that, but not bad. But either way

578
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: has been pretty good. Yeah, it seems like folks that

579
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: that play fantasy and I don't want to use the well, yeah,

580
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the apparel. They want the polo, they

581
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: want the cost and joy Bell has kind of been

582
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: stuck being latigray or penguin or something along those lines.

583
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: But hey, it eventually comes around the latigue they become

584
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: cool exactly, Joy Bell. Like you said, you want consistency

585
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You're shooting for that high ceiling. You've

586
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: got to be careful that floor is not too low. Joke.

587
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: Bell seems like a eight plus point and I think

588
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: every guy he's he's not an RB one, he's maybe

589
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: a low wind RB two reflects guy. I'll take it

590
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: absolutely all right. We move on to one of my favorites,

591
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: mark Ingram, And it's not only because mark Ingram and

592
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: the Saints have become reliant on one another. Marketing Ram

593
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: because he needs a contract after the season, but the

594
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: Saints also because when they have a power running game going,

595
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: they tend to perform a lot better of Marcus. No,

596
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: they absolutely do. And you know, he came out of

597
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: the gate like Gangbusters. He slowed down. He had the

598
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: injury that kind of slowed him down a little bit.

599
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: And I know the last couple of weeks last week

600
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: especially makes a lot of people nervous. But once about

601
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: a guy who can bounce back. And this is the

602
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: time of the year where running the ball effectively helps

603
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: you win actual football games. So this is a week

604
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe they lead on mark Ingrams. Well, and I'll give

605
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: you a great formula. How about just horrible, terrible future

606
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: it run defense of the Chicago Bears and mark Ingram

607
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: having the second most attempts in the league, not just

608
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, the last seven weeks. That is

609
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: a great formula for a big bonus at your running

610
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: back to or even flex position. So let's flip the

611
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: script now talk about some running back question marks heading

612
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: into week fifteen, and we start with Geo Bernard. He

613
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: has already acknowledged he won't be the starter. It will

614
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: be Jeremy Hill versus the Browns. Do you start him?

615
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: I do not I am really worried about Geo Bright.

616
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: It makes me sad because we thought so much of

617
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: him coming into the season. But you see that the

618
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: one touchdown in the last five games he's been in.

619
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, by the eye test, has been the better

620
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: running back. He's running hard, he's catching the ball out

621
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and he's getting into the end zone.

622
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Now I've seen the last couple of weeks the touch

623
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and touches being spread about evenly between the two of them.

624
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: But just because Hill has been the better guy and

625
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: now that he's starting, it makes me a little nervous

626
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: about Jille Bernard in my line. And by the way,

627
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: the Brown's defense against the run two touchdowns allowed in

628
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: the last seven games, so a bad combination as well.

629
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to le Garrett Blunt. We talked

630
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: about this a little bit earlier in the week. He

631
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: got the touches, just couldn't quite get the production against

632
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers. And we love when running backs

633
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: get the touch absolutely. I mean, that's the first cheat

634
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: of having some success in fantasy is just getting that opportunity.

635
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: And for all of the things Bill Belichick does in

636
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: terms of moving guys around, Blunt has been the most

637
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: consistent in terms of getting the football in his hands.

638
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: And look the Dolphins. I know, on paper they look

639
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: like they've been a good run defense, and they have

640
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: for most of the season, but the last few weeks

641
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: giving up a lot of yards two and twenty rush

642
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: yards per games, so there's some vulnerability there to be had. Yeah,

643
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: and like we said, touches, he's got forty four the

644
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: last three weeks, so that is a great number if

645
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at an RB two or a flex spot

646
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. They play the Texans this week, and AFC

647
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: Sound showdown about Dan Herron. Dan Herron is the guy.

648
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody who who's lines up at running back

649
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis seems to surpass Trip Richardson. Dan Herron is

650
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: just the latest one on the list. A little bit

651
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: nervous maybe about him this week because the Texans run

652
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: defense has been a little bit tougher than most, but

653
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: at this point he's the guy who's going to get

654
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: the touches. It goes back to what we said. With

655
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: a guarant Blunt Harron is going to get the touches.

656
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: So if you're really needing some help, at the flex spot.

657
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's the guy you look yeah, and I guess

658
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: when like you said, it's Andrew Luck And all the

659
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: attention that has to go to that past game allows

660
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: things to open up for that running back. So as

661
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: we go from Dan Herron to New York now and

662
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Rashad Jennings, do the comments of Tom Coughlin put you

663
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: at ease saying that he intentionally held were shot back

664
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: and he's gonna cut him loose this week against the Skins. Yeah,

665
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: it does. I mean, we saw Jennings being acted last week,

666
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: but it was Andre Williams that did most of the work.

667
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: But we know when Rashan Jennings is right, he is

668
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: the workhorse in that backfield, and he's done a very

669
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: good job of it most part, most speaking, this year.

670
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: The one thing that does worry me for all the

671
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: dysfunction in Washington and extends beyond Capitol Hill, but the

672
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Washington run defense has generally speaking been pretty good this year.

673
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: So I'd be a little bit nervous about that. But again,

674
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, with all these other guys, volume is the key,

675
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: and no doubt, considering there's typically a dearth of action

676
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: at the running back position, this late in the season

677
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: because of attriction, So you're starting Rishan Jennings all right?

678
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: For more, let's throw it over to Adam Rank. Thanks money.

679
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: Every week I give the thumbs up or thumbs down

680
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: to a variety of topics, like the series finale of

681
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: Sons of Anarchy even though our producer hated it, the

682
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: n c A a committee getting the playoffs right, and

683
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: no sting on w E television, and through it all,

684
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: I find some time to give out some actual fantasy

685
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: football advice. I don't know if you heard. Johnny Manzel

686
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: will make his first start of his NFL career this week,

687
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: and many of you have wondered if you should start

688
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: Johnny Football over your own quarterback. Well, if you have

689
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, I would go with the Cowboys signal caller.

690
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: The matchup against the Eagles is pretty good, as they

691
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: have given up a ton of fantasy points the quarterbacks

692
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: this season, and Romo is himself has been pretty good,

693
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: with at least twenty fantasy points scored in three of

694
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: his last four games. He's especially been good on the road,

695
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: with no picks in his last four roadies. Romo did

696
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: struggle at home against the Eagles on Thanksgiving, but they

697
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: had just played a big game against the Giants, who

698
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: were given three days to prepare. He will be much

699
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: better this time around, so go ahead and start Romo.

700
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: One of the biggest injuries to hit fantasy football recently

701
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: was the loss of Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall, and

702
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: the next guy up for Chicago will be tight end

703
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett. The range tight end has been the most

704
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: targeted pass catcher for the Bears over the past two weeks,

705
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: and I expect quarterback j Color to continue to look

706
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: for him. The matchup at home against the Saints on

707
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: Monday night is pretty good. The Saints have had their

708
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: troubles covering the tight end in recent weeks. Expect the

709
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: heavy workload for Bennett. Now let's move on to the

710
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: running back position. And if you're not sure, if you

711
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: want to pull the trigger on Johnny Football but still

712
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: want in on that Cleveland fun, well, start Isaiah Crowwell.

713
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't great last week, but he's now completely healthy

714
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: and ready to go against the Bengals, who have given

715
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: up a lot of yards to running backs this year.

716
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: I expect kind of a conservative game plans for Johnny

717
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: So that could mean lots of opportunities for the Crow,

718
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: So get him in your lineup. And finally, I would

719
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: avoid Colin Kaepernick this week. He has posted significantly worse

720
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: numbers against the Seahawks than he has against any other team.

721
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: Is passer raining is more than forty five points lower

722
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: when facing the Seahawks than when he has faced other

723
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: teams that he plays the Seahawks like eight times a

724
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: year or something like that. Don't don't go with actually,

725
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: you know what, this is where you can go with

726
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Johnny Football. Play him over Colin Kaepernick. Gotta be a

727
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun. All right, let's take a look now

728
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: at some more of my likes and dislikes of the week.

729
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Matt Ryan a lot. Of course,

730
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: you got to play him. That's a great opportunity for him.

731
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen not worried about him, Dwayne Allen, He's actually

732
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy to go to. He just had

733
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: to shake off a little bit of that football rust.

734
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: He'll be raring and ready to go against Houston this week.

735
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has posted a hundred passing yards in back

736
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: to back games against the Browns. I am gonna avoid

737
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: him altogether. I would avoid Frank Gore for obvious reasons.

738
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: I had to find a receiver I didn't like, so

739
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: I just went with pr Gars. Amilly, do you want

740
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: to start any of one of those Washington Wide receivers?

741
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: Girl friend? Jason Whitney's right there, so avoid him, avoid

742
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: him too, all that good stuff. You can find more

743
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: of this on NFL dot com slash like this, like

744
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: but Johnny football might be starting in Cleveland, but should

745
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: he start for your fantasy team? Well? Mark Sanchez conquered

746
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in Philly. Good tackle. All of Week fifteen's

747

Speaker 1: Manny in our top four. Is that a surprise? No? No.

755
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: What might be a surprise is Josh McCown at number

756
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: eighteen with his eight point two figure Fantasy points. As

757
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,480

759
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: this week, of course, gentlemen, Johnny Manzel getting the start

760
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: for his first opportunity in Cleveland, coming out the tunnel,

761
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: taken that first snap. Before we dive into how we

762
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: think he's going to do, it's gonna look at how

763
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: some of the other mobile qbs running qubs, if you will,

764
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: fared in their first couple NFL starts. I do want

765
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: to point out you see the difference in Russell Wilson

766
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: not the same as Cam Newton, Robert Griffin, Colin Kaepernick.

767
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: Kaepernick came out of the pistol, Griffin and Newton out

768
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: of a s at Russell Wilson ran pro style at

769
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and West Coast while he was at NC State.

770
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: So he's someone that runs when he has to, as

771
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: opposed to because he wants to. And that's what Johnny

772
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: Manziel would fit more toward those other three as opposed

773
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: to Russell Wilson, even though very death passers. So what

774
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: are our expectations for Johnny football? Versus the band goals.

775
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: And let's say you have Colin Kaepernick and he's going

776
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: up against the Seahawks. Do you trust starting Johnny Football instead?

777
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: I would start Manziel over Kaepernick. With Matt that, i'd

778
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: start him over Kaepernick. I probably start him over Derek

779
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: Anderson because I just don't trust Anderson at this point.

780
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: He had Cam. Yeah, I do think that Manzell has

781
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: the opportunity for a nice week, simply because there isn't

782
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: a lot of him on tape just yet. There isn't,

783
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, that full knowledge of his strength and his weaknesses.

784
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: But if I have somebody else, I don't know that

785
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: I can trust my playoff life to Mansiell. If we're

786
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: talking a daily league, maybe I play him there. But

787
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: just in a regular playoff situation, I'm too nervous to

788
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers. You Phil Rivers on your team? You're starting him?

789
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: Or would you start Manzell right right now? Well, you

790
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: know what we're going through our evaluation process right now.

791
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: I still have Philip Rivers slugged in as my starter,

792
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: but I might need a little bit of a boost,

793
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: little push there, because you know, I didn't work out

794
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: so well for me the other night. So he is

795
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: uh a legendary Phil Jackson term would always he would

796
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: always point out that these teams they like to muck

797
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: up the game. They would they like to muck it up.

798
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: And that's what Johnny Manzell does. He manages to muck

799
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: up your defense and get those rushing yards and get

800
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: your rushing touchdown and next thing you know, you've got

801
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: seventeen points from your quarterback, maybe even though we threw

802
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: two interceptions. All right, Matt Ryan finished strong in Green

803
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: Bay on Monday night, four touchdowns in the second half.

804
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: But do we trust him coming anywhere close to that

805
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: this week versus the Steelers? I would say absolutely. You

806
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: would say absolutely, But this is the Atlanta Falcons. This

807
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: is a Mike Smith led team, and we've seen this

808
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: all too often. Is these guys. He started to taste

809
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: the points because you saw how great he was at

810
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: the end of the in the second half against the

811
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, and you think, to yourself, I gotta start, um,

812
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: how could you not he've put up all these points?

813
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: But realized that was a blowout. That was kind of

814
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: a different kind of game. If you remember, if you

815
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: watched any part of that first half, you saw a

816
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: quarterback who just wasn't playing very well, and I'm scared.

817
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: I think Andy Dalton into the Steelers last week, and

818
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm wanna roll the dice

819
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: on Matt I'm taking the chance on Matt Ryan because

820
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: the Steeler secondary has been questionable. I would feel a

821
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: lot better if we know about Julio Jones. I know

822
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: he's expected to be a game time decision that maybe

823
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: changes the equation a little, But with what's Pittsburgh's done defensively,

824
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: I'll take the shot. And this is it. This is

825
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: when they rise up and you talked about the shootout

826
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: against the Packers. Look, I mean big Ben, Antonio Brown,

827
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: Martavis Brant, that team has. I mean, even though Levian

828
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: Bell is getting those two plus yards from scrimmage and

829
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: back to back to back games, this is still an

830
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: arid out offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So it just

831
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: inside the Georgia Dolmot has the feeling like we might

832
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: end up getting shout of Fine, give me that face.

833
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: Disagree with me that fantasy points last week versus the

834
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Patriots historically as well versus the Broncos. So do we

835
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: trust having him in a line up this week, well,

836
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: I just touched on it a moment ago about having

837
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: him and having that dilemma between him and Johnny Football.

838
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: And the one thing I fear from the Denver Broncos

839
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: is that they've really started to run the ball an

840
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: awful lot and really shorten up the games that you

841
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: could get into a situation where the Chargers and Broncos

842
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: are really just trying to keep the ball away from

843
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: each other. I think back to that Thursday Night game

844
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: last year when the when the Chargers went into Denver

845
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: and one and they really shortened the game. And the

846
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: Charges have been running the ball and awful lot this

847
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: season that they could just really just say, you know what,

848
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Ryan Matthews and just run the ball.

849
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: I feel like this is one of those games that

850
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: will because the Charges was a little bit beat up

851
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: in the backfield, that maybe they do put up put

852
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: it up in the air a little bit more. And

853
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: I just have the sneaky feeling that somehow Philip Rivers

854
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: throws a couple of picks, but you still get you

855
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: some decent numbers, has a couple of touchdowns in there.

856
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: Maybe still finds a way to get you. It is.

857
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned they won that Thursday nighter with Ryan Matthews

858
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: running the heck out of the ball. But as you said,

859
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: that's just it hasn't been the case this season. You know,

860
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: they cannot run the ball effectively, even though that's what

861
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy wants to do. One of the more interesting

862
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: matchups is Mark Sanchez as a quarterback start. The Eagles

863
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: slowed down last week considerably versus the Seahawks, but remember

864
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. We all saw it remembre sucking back, that stuffing,

865
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: those yams, those delicious branberries from the can that are

866
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: shaped like a can. And this is what Mark Sanchez

867
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: did for us while we were snacking on all those

868
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: delicious traits. Only one point four eight points do we

869
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: trust Mark Sanchez and going up against the Cowboys with

870
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: the division on the line? Are you looking at me

871
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: like I'm learning at both of you because I don't

872
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: want to take this. I don't I like Mark san Yes,

873
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: I don't want nothing to the Cowboys with the division

874
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: on the line. How many times have we seen this

875
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: in the last few seasons. They fold like a chair

876
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: at a church picnic when this situation comes to some risition.

877
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: I think said he may not give you the one points,

878
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: but I think he can get you close to it.

879
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: I think he'll be close to what we saw and Thanksgiving.

880
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: The difference between this game and the one on Thanksgiving,

881
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys were coming off a huge game against

882
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: the Giants with just three days of rod Marinelli really

883
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: needs some time, especially with the lack of depth that

884
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: he has on the defensive, really find ways of devise

885
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: to slow down this offense. So this is gonna be

886
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: a little bit closer than that previous game, and I'm

887
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: not sure that Sanchez is gonna get closer that point.

888
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: I think to seventeen points. I'm I'm agent molder in this.

889
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: I want to believe. I want to believe in Sanchez.

890
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 1: I do. I want to believe, but and is it scared?

891
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean Tony Romo again, divisions on the line. Mark Sanchez,

892
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 1: it's Mark Sanchez. It's what does that mean? It means

893
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: he means nothing. It's mean something like me saying I'm

894
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: just a guy asking questions. That's all. If you want

Speaker 1: Marcus get Us started. Well, this is a situation. If

913
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: you have Cam Newton and he's not playing this week,

914
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: you have Colin Kaepernick. Try Josh McCown he played against

915
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers to start the season, had a pretty decent

916
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: game there. Plus that Carolina secondary has been a mess

917
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: this year. They've only gotten one pick in their last

918
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: four games, so they're not forcing turnovers and giving up

919
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: a ton of yards to bold quarterbacks and receivers. Look,

920

921
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: this point, Josh McCown is a matchup bass play for you,

922
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,160
