1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: Er, you are fact. It's time for the Fantasy Football Focus.

2
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Just Nama, Dale, Lolly and Matt Williamson here on Steelers

3
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. We are back. As I said, Uh, look

4
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: at the top performers from this weekend's games. Crazy crazy

5
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: fantasy week. Tom Brady four eleven passing yards, five touchdowns,

6
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: didn't finish the game, didn't have to, didn't have to.

7
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Thank god, I'm playing. I'm playing against Brady this week.

8
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: I had Brady thrown a b so I was pretty happy.

9
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: Somehow I have a league going into tonight's game. I'm

10
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: up two points. Brady just went off. But I mean

11
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: he doesn't run and it doesn't matter because he's gonna

12
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: throw fifty touchdown. We can't run the ball, no, right,

13
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean Bernard's catching him and not even have gronk

14
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and you know they're that that's quite the passing game. Yeah. Um,

15
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert in that game against the Browns two more yards,

16
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: two yards, four four touchdowns for him forty three. I

17
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: mean that's efficient. It is Mike Williams catching catch him

18
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: the ballance catch him at all? Level up Williams, isn't

19
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: he something? Yeah? Matthew Stafford with the big game on

20
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night against Seattle defense. Three only have one touchdown,

21
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: one interception, but three sixty five against that awful Seattle defense.

22
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm a big Matthew Stafford fan, but he was struggling

23
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: a little before that game, you know. I mean again,

24
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: that's not a great defense coming to town. The interesting

25
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: thing we have all that, there's what we got here,

26
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: nine yard passing games this weekend, but there's only three

27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: guys with more than uh, I'm sorry, there's there's a

28
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: few threes in there. There's only there aren't many big

29
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: touchdown passing passes. I guess it was Herbert and Brady

30
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: and that was about it. A lot of guys with

31
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: two and one um Aaron Rodgers three two touchdowns. Apparently

32
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals thought it was a good idea and not

33
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: to cover. He had two receiving yards of the game

34
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: we might want to gain. You might want to cover

35
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: that guy. And if you watch someone, he's just like

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: jogging through the Bengal secondary, like, okay, there's a pass

37
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: like it looks like a seven on seven drill, And

38
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: how could the game plan be We'll just let him

39
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: get any once and we'll take all the other guys

40
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: away again. That nuts. Uh Matt Ryan against the Jets

41
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: thirty three or forty five for three forty two and

42
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He is the ultimate compiler, that's what he does. That.

43
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: But Ryan threw the ball well and didn't have Ridley.

44
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get the pits here. I mean, he

45
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: wasn't sacked in that game. They have no Prass rushes

46
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the whole key with him too. He doesn't move. Josh

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: Allen in that game last night against the Kansas City

48
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Chief three three touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks, and he

49
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: ran like crazy. I would say the first drive, he

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: like ran the whole way down the field pretty much.

51
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I was like a high school officer, right. I don't

52
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: think you know I was worried with him and Lamar

53
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: and Laura. Hasn't happened quite yet. Because if I'm the

54
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: owner and I used to give this guy fifty million

55
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: a year or whatever, I know it's not that much,

56
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: but They'm I gonna say, hey, maybe you guys should

57
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: run a little less. I don't think that's happening in Buffalo.

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: They doesn't look like it. Not worried in one bit.

59
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Uh Davis Mills, the aforementioned. Davis Mills twenty one twenty

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: nine for three twelve and three touchdowns. I'm not running

61
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: out and picking him up, no, but good for him.

62
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: He played well. Baker Mayfield had I guess his best

63
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: name game of the year. Uh. He had three oh

64
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: five and two touchdowns. I was only sacked once. Again,

65
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: you gotta get pressure on him to make him He's

66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: been very poor under pressure. Yeah. Dak Prescott twenty two

67
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,559
Speaker 1: of thirty two for three oh two, three touchdowns, one interception.

68
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: He was sacked twice in fumbled. That's what he does.

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel like his blow up game is coming. You know,

70
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: he's throwing touchdown passes, not a lot of yards. They

71
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: haven't needed to know, No, they haven't needed too. They've

72
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: been very balanced. Yeah. Bridgewater against the Steelers, he was

73
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: the number ten guy with two touchdowns, an interception. He

74
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: was sacked twice. Yeah, okay, I mean I thought he

75
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: played well that that that trio of Patrick. He played

76
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: well in the fourth quarter. Yes, before that, he was

77
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: like at one point I looked and he was like

78
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: nine of twenty one or something like that. He was.

79
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: I think he threw from more yards in the fourth

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: quarter than the first three combined. Yes, almost positive. I

81
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: mean he was not having a great game, and then

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: they kind of opened things up a little bit. Rushing wise.

83
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: We had eight guys who had a hundred yards rushing

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: this weekend. Nick Chubb led the way with one carries

85
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: for one touchdown. Though, that's killer for him. He's hard

86
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: in fantasy. It's tough because he's a good player and

87
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you have to start him. But Hunt just siphons off

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: so much. I'm not sure there's a player in the

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: league that's better for real life than fantasy had a

90
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 1: bigger margin than Chubb. George Kittle might be there. Yeah,

91
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: I texted you the other day. I said, Kittles a

92
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: better real life better by far than he is fantasy.

93
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of quarterbacks run Kittles on. I

94
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: r yeah that they're in trouble. James Robinson eighteen for one,

95
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: nine in a touchdown. He had a fifty eight yard run.

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: He's real, right, Yeah, I mean he's an RB one maybe. Yeah,

97
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: they finally figured that out there. Hey, let's give that

98
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: guy to football because we don't have anybody else. If

99
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: they're losing, which they always are, still catches the ball

100
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: right gamescrip doesn't matter. If by chance they're winning, he'll

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: put him away. But they don't ever win. Derrick Henry

102
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: nine carries a hundred and thirty yards three touchdowns. His

103
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: long run was fifteen yards. He's on pace to beat

104
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the all time UH carry's record by like sixty Is

105
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: it that much? I know it's a seventeen game schedule

106
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: and he's but he that doesn't account for the sixty

107
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: additional carry that he's gonna beat that by I hope

108
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: nothing else. I mean, if anyone can hold up, it's him.

109
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: But that's years and years in a row. Game after game.

110
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: No Julio again. You know, it's it's all him. It's

111
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: all him. Tanny Hills, that's just fine against the Jacks,

112
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, but he lost the Jets a week before.

113
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: U Naja Harris comes in fourth on that list and

114
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown five point three a carry. That's what you

115
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: missed your window. If you were going to try to

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: buy Naja for fantasy, you're going to get him anyways.

117
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: He was catching too many passes. Yea, Alexander Madison with

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: this he started the three games. Now he said, two

119
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: good ones and a bad one. This one was Uh

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: no touchdown. He did fumble as well. That was against

121
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: the tro It's a bad, bad defense. But still one thing,

122
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: one trait about the Vikings. They get it to the

123
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: right people. They do run the football. If it's Stalvin

124
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: in there, he's gonna get his touches. If it's Madisons

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: and get his touches and two receivers. It's not like

126
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: eight guys are putting up points. Zeke Elliott, if you

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: were patient with him the first couple of weeks of

128
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: the season when things were kind of slow, there for

129
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: one ten in a touchdown in this game this week,

130
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: he looks like the Zeke of the same guy. Yeah,

131
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Paulard is going to cut in a little bit,

132
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: but it might just keep him fresher too for the

133
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: long haul. Two and yeah, he's a team game season,

134
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: great offense, pencilman, first points every game. Uh. Aaron Jones

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: fourteen for one oh three. He was on the injury

136
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: lest He had a fifty seven yard run in that game,

137
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: so Dylan came in for some goal line stuff, which

138
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: is a little concerning. But Jones is that Kamara type

139
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: where he still catches enough passes. He's super talent in

140
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: the great offense and he catches the ball. I mean

141
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: he's the first round pick. The final guy was a

142
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubb for one oh one. Didn't score, But that's

143
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: probably the last game that you're gonna be able to

144
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I think he's probably done. Yeah another time. I mean

145
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: some of these teams tell you things though, like whoever

146
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: the number one back is for the Panthers, you get

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: the ball a lot? Yeah, you might as well play

148
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: him right right? Uh Trey Lancers number nine on here

149
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, he has a sixteen carries for eighty

150
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: nine yards. I mean, like, is he a starter because

151
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: he looks We talked about this the last segment. He

152
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: looks so over his head as an NFL player, And

153
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy's probably gonna take that job back. And and Lance

154
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: it was this close to scoring a touchdown too. He

155
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: put his head down, took on two defenders, brought out

156
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the chains almost I mean nearly broke the plane and

157
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: didn't get in. I was running quarterbacks help. But those

158
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: guys are tough to trust. Yeah. How about Khalil Herbert,

159
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: He's good. Yeah, there was some talk about him going

160
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: into that game. I know everybody was jumping on Damian Williams.

161
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: He ended up his Damian Williams end up with sixteen

162
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: sixty four and a touchdown. But Khalil Herbert was eighteen

163
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: for seventy five with a long run of eleven, so

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: he was grind. They were grinding and out. They dedicated

165
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: to the run um with mccount Montgomery. You're not their

166
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: offensive line actually run blocks, Okay, they're bad in protection.

167
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: People are keying on fields as a runner, which helps.

168
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: It's funny like a week ago in Waivers, I was torn,

169
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I put in for Alex Collins or Herbert, and I

170
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: put a buckamore for Collins, got him and Herbert still

171
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: out there, and yeah right, I mean he could easily

172
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: go past Williams. Is there one in the meantime? Uh?

173
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, hearing though that they may not be without

174
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: the starter. I can't think his name now. Quarterback in

175
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: Chicago Montgomery Montgomery. Yeah, uh, he may only be a

176
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Probably so, but it's a week the

177
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: week game. But if you're hurting Clyde Edwards Hilaire and

178
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: you need it back, yeah, yeah, he's startable for next

179
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I think, Um, you know, you look

180
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: at it like RS seventeen for sixty six three point

181
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: nine years, two touchdowns, rushing, two touchdown rushing run a

182
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: nine yard. His usage is so great because he's a

183
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: goal lineback. He's an awesome receiver, you know. And one

184
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: of the touchdowns he didn't want to score, right, they

185
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: pulled him in and picked him up right in front

186
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: of us, Like he didn't even know what to do.

187
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: He's like, and I'm screaming, get down and get down.

188
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: And I didn't think the Browns would pour him in.

189
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: I thought they might actually tackle him, but they pulled

190
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: him into the end zone, you know, like that was

191
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: the only chance to win. Looking at the receivers, Davante

192
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Adams eleven for two oh six and a touchdown, you

193
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: might want to cover that guy. You might want to

194
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: cover that guy. So we're drafting today and you get

195
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: any receiver, is he your one? Yeah? The other guys

196
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: have been a little yeah, you know, if you know,

197
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: even if you're looking, Mike Williams isn't too far off.

198
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: He's had the one bad game, but man, he's just

199
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: been Yeah. Could Darius Tony ten? I had him in

200
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: my DFS lineup. I put together Sunday morning. I'm waiting.

201
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm sitting over in this waiting outside the DV studio

202
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: here at so I'm gonna put put in another we

203
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: didn't get to do it on Friday show. I'm gonna

204
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: put together a fantasy lineup here that before. It was

205
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: right before the early game started and I had Cadarius

206
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: Tony in the lineup. He's like four thousand dollars and

207
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I pulled him out. I mean, that's a league winner

208
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: type guy nine and four thousand dollars. Well, here's the

209
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: deal with him though. I mean, the Giants lost Barkley,

210
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and Balliday at that game, like wow, yeah,

211
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: and nobody left and nobody left. But Tony looks awesome.

212
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: You know. Get he moves differently than a lot of

213
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: NFL players. He is so elusive and explosive. They even

214
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: lined him up at quarterback at least once, maybe more.

215
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Jones was concussed at the time, and Shepherds may be

216
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: coming back. I don't know what to do with that

217
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: offense because Jones gonna play play him in the backfield

218
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: and play Tony in a actually bar with Barkley out,

219
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, it does sound like he's out as long

220
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: as it looked. I mean his acco blew up like

221
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: a basketball. And that's a weird team for fantasy right

222
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: now because there's production there. Yeah, I've heard people talking

223
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: about it. Daniel Jones a top ten quarterback? Are you

224
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: kidding me? For fantasy? He might be, yeah, I mean

225
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: it's hard to trust if somebody cuts him this weekend

226
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: picking him up, I guess, but he's done this. Quarterbacks

227
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: in New York. Mike Williams, the afore mentioned Mike Williams

228
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: eight for one and two touchdowns. He had a seventy

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: two yard or he is, Uh, he looks like a

230
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: J Brown after the catch now too, like this big,

231
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: strong running away. Forget he was like the eighth pick

232
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, one of my best things

233
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: I've done this offseason was I told everyone listening, this

234
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: guy is going to the tenth round. I mean, Hunter

235
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Henry's gone a new coach contract year. I mean, luckily

236
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: I do own him in a couple of spots, but

237
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers charge is gonna figure out a way to

238
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: get him signed. Now you franchise him, Yeah, you can't

239
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: let him. You can't let him walk out the door.

240
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: He'll make a bazillion dollars though. Yeah. Uh, Jamaar Chase

241
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: with another big game sixe in a touchdown. He scores

242
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: a bomb every time, every week, every game had a

243
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: seventy yarder this week. Bengals offense really had a tough

244
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: time though, and it was a little flukey, but boy,

245
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: he's explosive. Bobby Woods on Thursday night, he had his

246
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel game twelve for one fifty at the expense

247
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: of Cooper Cup. It's amazing that he's what like the

248
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: eighth highest scoring receiver or whatever. I mean, they had

249
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: a huge game. Yeah. Uh, David and Joku lead that

250
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: lead the tight ends this week helping absolutely nobody. Seven

251
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: for one, nine and a touchdown. You talked about guys

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: he had like a seventy yard Yeah, okay, but he

253
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: still had seven catches. He's had a good year. Actually,

254
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: the Browns can't afford to resign him. No, iould imagine,

255
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: not unless you're cutting Hooper and you know, moving a

256
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of money around um in a way, I mean,

257
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: it's not quite the same, but it's everything we just

258
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: said about Mike Williams, Like, don't forget that this guy

259
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: is a super athlete that was a first round pick.

260
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: Tight end. It's in a contract year. I mean the

261
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: receivers aren't great, you know they have to use but

262
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like even to use the franchise

263
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: tag on Hi, which I don't think they would do.

264
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Probably the Patriots made that a lot more expensive last

265
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: year by and kid on Kelsey to sign huge tracks. Yeah,

266
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the franchise tag for the

267
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: tight end is probably like thirteen million. Can you start

268
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: in a Joku like next week? Do you trust it?

269
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I know that's a thing like they don't want to

270
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: do that. They don't want to do that. Yeah, I

271
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: mean you got to start them over. I guess like

272
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Gasecki and got Art and if you're in that world

273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: is a tight end. You know, if you're the kidd

274
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: o owner, don't the bottom lines. Don't rush out and

275
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: pick up David and Joku based off of what happened.

276
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: But tight ends are slim. They are slim. Um that's

277
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: why they're tighty. How about that? Chase Claypool actually the

278
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: seventh best week in terms of yardage five for one

279
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: thirty in a touchdown, him and Deante Stocker only going up.

280
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: It helps them actually for fantasy purposes that Juju is

281
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: no longer in the equation, not that Juju was taken

282
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a lot away from them, but two verse threes night

283
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: and day. Now you know these two are these two

284
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: how far up you bumped them on your like every week?

285
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: They're probably somewhere in that twenty four to thirty to

286
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: forty range them up even higher than that. Why did

287
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Giante was higher than that to begin with? I mean,

288
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: it's a fluke that he only got two targets. I mean,

289
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: and he made them count obviously, Like I have a

290
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: dynasty league, have a lot of receivers, and I benched

291
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Claypool for Marquis Brown and Alan Robinson. Like if I'm

292
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: doing it again, he's over those guys, you know. And

293
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson has been a nightmare. He's unusable now and

294
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm done playing him. Um Antonio Brown seven for one

295
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: oney four and two touchdowns. That offense is gonna be

296
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: hit or miss a little. They've got the problem that

297
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers had with three receivers. Actually maybe even more

298
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: than that with some of the graffing out helps a little,

299
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: but I'll be honest, I owned him in my redraft league.

300
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: That my my top one. If someone offered me Evans

301
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: or Godwin for him, I'd say no. Yeah, I mean

302
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: he's my number one Bucks receiver. He's gonna get better

303
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: than them. He's getting the third matchup every week. Yeah, Evans,

304
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Evans is gonna draw the number one just because he's

305
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: such a physical I mean, with all respect to Evans

306
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: and Godwin, they're great players. I think Abe is a

307
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: better football player than them. Yeah, always has been, really,

308
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: always has been. I mean I always use the Julio

309
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Jones conversation, like, oh, offseason, why isn't abb And drafted?

310
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Where Julio was just there the same age. They've been

311
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: an awesome their whole career. You know, they're the same questions.

312
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Why is they be going five rounds later? It didn't

313
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: make much sense. Justin Jefferson with another solid game. Seven

314
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't score though great, I mean, yeah, but he's phenomenal.

315
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton against the Steelers seven for one, twenty in

316
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I might sell him if I owned him,

317
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: but I like the player a lot. Kyle Pitts was

318
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: the second highest scoring Titan. It made absolute sense. They

319
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: had nobody else to throw the football too. They had

320
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: to just feed him the football. But boy's Darren Waller like, yeah,

321
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: and he passes the eyeball test though he adjusted the football.

322
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: He runs after the catch. I mean to no shock

323
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: of anyone that watched him coming out of school. I mean,

324
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: he's an elite prospect. Dawson flipping knocks. He's a top

325
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: twelve guy. Now three seventeen and another touchdown to gave

326
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: him five for the season. Um, it's not flukey anymore.

327
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: He's the tonun of this year. You know, come from

328
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: the word type. Dude. I wish I had him, you know,

329
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: especially if he was my two or whatever. But he's good. Ye,

330
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: great offense, Mike Evans two touchdowns showing you that, well

331
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: you can't have production of the two receivers and in

332
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: that same offense, and he throws five a game. How

333
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: about this one? This was this was Chris' more for Houston.

334
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: Five for one or nine in a touchdown? Is that real?

335
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: I don't think. But he's the dude from Baltimore, right,

336
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: and Callie was his receivers coach, and they need receivers

337
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: and he wasn't bad for the Ravens. A big guy. Yeah,

338
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: I mean, so he's not a total aberration, but I

339
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: hope my league mates put in for him. Dk Metcalf

340
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: comes in at five and two scores. Do you worry

341
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: about him with Gino Smith because I don't, because when

342
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: Gino Smith came into the game, the first thing he

343
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: did was through the Metcalf, like four times. I worry

344
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: about him. From Russell Wilson was not was was targeting

345
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: targeting lock It more. I think Wilson prefers lock It

346
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a longer history and you know better

347
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: rapport um. DK scares the heck out of me as

348
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: a Steeler analyst for this week, there's no doubt you

349
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: don't have anybody that can match up with that guy

350
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: if the Seals lose that game. Locket and Metcalf were

351
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: very fantasy relevant, but Gino Smith got to get him

352
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the football. That's the that's the that's the kicker. Yeah.

353
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: Cup had seven for ninety two. Tim Patrick seven eight nine.

354
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: He's real. He's real. Yeah, he's really. Even if Judy

355
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: comes back, you don't just drop him. He's he's real.

356
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Hopkins finally had a decent game six for eighty seven

357
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: and a touchdown that made some re markable catches too.

358
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Then you're looking at Marquess Callaway four for eighty five

359
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: and two scores. I'm not quite back on that train.

360
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: One of those was a forty nine yard touchman. So yeah,

361
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: it's a little a little flukey. Washington's defense is, let's

362
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: people run fifty yards out field. Yeah, CD ceedee lamb

363
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: for for eighty four in a touchdown. He's very real.

364
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: But that could be the beginning of you know, massive production.

365
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Don't This is one where you why you don't just

366
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: look at the who scored the most points last week

367
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: and pick that guy up, Chris Connley at three for

368
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: eighty four in a touchdown. Folks, don't go pick up

369
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: Chris Conley. He actually played the most snap of snaps

370
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: of any of the Texans receivers ordinaries grits, right, all right,

371
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: he's nobody. Uh, Dalton Schultz did it again. He's real.

372
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Six for seventy nine. Would you trade him for Knox?

373
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: Are they the same guy? They're kind of the same

374
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: same guy. Yeah, I mean, because they're not necessarily the

375
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent guy. No, they'll get targets every week. Yeah,

376
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: but I think Knox, I think Schultz gets a few

377
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: more targets. Yeah, I think he's more consistent week the week. Yeah, yeah,

378
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: I do too. Um is the Joku third of those guys. Yeah,

379
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: if I'm picking up yeah, if they're all available, and yeah,

380
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: I agree. Davante Smith seven for seventy seven. He's real too. Yeah,

381
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a good football player. Uh. Micole Hartmann

382
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: for seventy six last night. I don't think he's a

383
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: very good player. No, you know, I don't want they

384
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: keep telling us that because they keep going up and

385
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: picking up other guys, right, Like if he was what

386
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: he's expected to be when they drafted him, Like when

387
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: his contracts up, I bet they let him walk and

388
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: get someone just like him. Yeah. Keenan Allen had six

389
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: for seventy five. That's just who he is. That's that's

390
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: actually a below average day for him. Ye, considering all

391
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: the points scored, you're probably a little unhappy. Miles Gascon

392
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: in that game against the Dolphins or against the Bucks.

393
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Ten for seventy four and two touchdowns, ten targets, ten catches. Yeah, yeah,

394
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess in the starved running back Land

395
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: still would be treating Miles Gascon right now because he

396
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: ran for like twenty yards behind a dreadful offensive line

397
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna catch on. You can't protect, You're going

398
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: to dump at the gascon. It's kind of like Nausey's

399
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: day whenever he had a crap beat out of him.

400
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: But he's half the player that Nausea. Yeah, you know, yeah, um,

401
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: Adam like he will be a starting running back next

402
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. He'll He'll find somebody else. Adam

403
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: Humphreys had three for seventy three. Deante Johnson had two

404
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: for seventy two. Of these only two targets that he

405
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: had and then yeah, well I forgot about this one.

406
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry was the fourth highest scoring tight end this week.

407
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: You don't see any of the big names on on

408
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: the list this week. He had six for seventy five.

409
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: You're starting in a touchdown. I might be because looking

410
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: at he's out snapped Johnny Smith. Yes, and Johnny Smith's

411
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: blocking like crazy. I would I thought it'd be the others. Yeah,

412
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean Johnny Smith only ran like five or six

413
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: under if that's because Henry is the bigger guy, so

414
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: they want maybe they want a little bigger target going

415
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: down the field to kind of help the good receiver

416
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: to the player all around. Right, I thought it would

417
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: be more equal with blocking, or Henry would be more

418
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: of the blocker. Frankly, if you're gonna pay them both

419
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: that much, neither one should be blocking. But they're line

420
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: at four starters out well, they're they're paying them like

421
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: good solid offensive lineman money. Yeah, but Johnny was unusable

422
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: now yeah, and I think Henry gets a bomb. Henry

423
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: is the guy that is getting now that could. Here's

424
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: what's maddening about having Patriots. That could change next week

425
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: based on the opponent without question, or the line gets healthy,

426
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it just drives you know, it's like

427
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: having a Patriots running back. It's just you can't do

428
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: you don't know, you just can't do it. Um. But

429
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: some major injuries so many around the league this week

430
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: as well. Have to check those out later in the

431
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: week in particular too. Yeah, as we get into that

432
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: a little vague. The Juju one certainly isn't sounded good.

433
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: The party one is not good. Edwards Hilaire looks like

434
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: he's out a few weeks of this week. The week. Yeah,

435
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: it looks like Matt Rule said today that they're hopeful

436
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: that Christian McCaffrey is back this week. He did stuff

437
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, he could be back. Um, Justin Fields

438
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: underwent tests on the left knee here hyper extended that.

439
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: Uh so we'll see. They say he should be good

440
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: to go, but we'll see. I mean, he hasn't run

441
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: like I thought he would. No, I don't know if

442
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: that's being coached to him. It has to be, which

443
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't quite understand. But their offense was serviceable this week.

444
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: Dalton came in for a little bit. You know, we

445
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: talked about the Juju Smith Schuster injury he has done

446
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: for the year. Joe Burrow had to go to the

447
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: hospital evaluated for a throat contusion. So was Jeremiah Wosu Cormo. Really,

448
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Have

449
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: two guys and two guys had to go to the

450
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: the hospital on the same weekend for that. I guess

451
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: you get more often, Right, it's pretty tender area, and

452
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: there's some big, strong dudes out there that would I

453
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: would not want punching me in the throat or kicking

454
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: me in the throat or whatever. I guess that's true. Yeah,

455
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: I guess he's fine. Now, Yeah, it looks like he's okay. Man.

456
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: He took some collacious hits in the game, still takes

457
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a lot of hits. Part of it's on him, part

458
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: of it's on the line, part of it on the

459
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: way they play. But boy, he's a tough dude. Uh.

460
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: Brian Flores said, he's hoping that to a techli Laia

461
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 1: or however you say that, I always just call him

462
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: to ye, he'll practice this week. Um so is some

463
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: of those early season injuries to uh Judy Michael Thomas,

464
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: you know that are kind of an out of sight,

465
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: out of mind. He put them in mind. Don't forget

466
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: about him for fantasy at all. But he might help

467
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: the Waddles and Gaskis of the world. Well, maybe not

468
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: get sick. He doesn't really helped get sicky. Quit see

469
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: if has suffered a broken collar bone. Um, he had

470
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: been a radar type, I should be on your radar.

471
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Well not anymore. He's looking at a season enduring st

472
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: Brown actually had a decent game. He might be there.

473
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: Press things up now for him. Uh. They need somebody

474
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: to take some of the pressure off of Hawkinson because

475
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: he's seen like quadruple cover isn't doing anything right now,

476
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: making me a little crazy. Daniel Jones. You mentioned he's

477
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. We'll see what happens with that. Uh,

478
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: this is yeah, Um, Lavonte David's gonna miss Thursday's game.

479
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: He looks like he's week to week after that. It

480
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: could be in multiple weeks with the ankle sprain. They've

481
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries in their back seven other defense,

482
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's got a thumb injury. Yeah, he didn't play

483
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: at the end, and I just assumed because it was

484
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: because they're winning by a million, and I'm sure he

485
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: would have played through it if it had been a

486
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: type game or playoff game or something. But it is

487
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: something that sounds like he's gonna play Thursday. But you know,

488
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: uh looking at uh that Eagles team that has to

489
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: play Thursday night. Jordan Malata. It was listed as a

490
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: limited participant Monday. Uh, Derek Barnett, Dallas Goddard did not practice.

491
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson and Senator Jason Kelsey also, we're not godd

492
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: It's an illness, okay, so it's not something that you

493
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: probably will be fine that. Yeah, I was sitting there thinking, like, boy,

494
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: I want urs to be not that on anyone to

495
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: be hurt, but I want Urge to be hurts so

496
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: I can get Goddard in the lineup and really use them.

497
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: But what if it's the other way around. Yeah, it's

498
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: not quite as exciting. Not quite. Damian Harris day to

499
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: day after a ribbon chest injuries against Houston took a beating. Yeah,

500
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Vermandre Stevenson will be on a lot of the waiver

501
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: wire conversations this week. I mean the lost a couple

502
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: of backs and they run the ball a lot, So

503
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: Stevenson should probably be in your league. Under one of

504
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: those tight ends that we've been talking about as a

505
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: potential fantasy guy, Max Williams looks like he's feared to

506
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: have suffered a major season ending right knee injury. Too bad,

507
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: he was starting. He was useful for them. Yeah, I

508
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: made in particular it's a good blocker. Um. Yeah, they

509
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: went in a lot of games, so that's a shame.

510
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: And finally this is one that is relevant here for

511
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers this week. The Seattle Seahawks activated tight end

512
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett off the reserve COVID nineteen list. He should

513
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: be good to go this week against the Steelers. Yeah,

514
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean, where would you put him when the Jok

515
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: conversation Shultz with you know, Smith throwing. I don't know. Yeah,

516
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't help. That doesn't help me at all. I'm

517
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: an Everett believer, but his situation is not so great

518
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: at the moment. Yeah, coming off the Yeah, yeah, I

519
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: think he's unusable. Probably fourth on that list, Probably fourth

520
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: on that list considering his quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. And the

521
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Steelers have done a good job against tight ends this year.

522
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Edmonds is a really good player and nobody ever told

523
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: says that. Yeah, you know, I mean, like, can we

524
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: just say that he's good? No, you can't. Because Steeler

525
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: fans made up their mind about him two years ago.

526
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: He can't possibly be thought who they wanted in the

527
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, I get it. But he's a good

528
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: football player week after week. YEP, I agree. But that's

529
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the fans. He's still good. Yeah,

530
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that. Yeah,

531
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for the Fantasy Football Focus

532
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and for the show. So for my partner Matt Williamson,
