1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Hell, everybody. I'm James coming coming up on NFL Fantasy Live.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna answer your NFL dot Com Fantasy Genius questions

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: and Dr Neil Good Doctor comes by to talk about

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: injuries to r G three and A J. Green. Molly

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: FAPs James, thank you. I'm Lolly Caerman. He's Michael Fabriano

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: and SAPs. You had a quarterback quite a huge day

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: in Week two that you're sitting. That's right, find out

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: who that is. I'm also advising people to sit are

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: running back you probably drafted in round one. Stick around

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: to find out who that is. Very interesting. Elliott, what's

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: up next time? I'm Elliott. I'm Marcus. Do you have

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: anybody blow on? I do, but I'd rather so high

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: on my targets and touches called Fantasy Live starts right now. Yea, yeah, Hello, everybuddy.

14
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Fantasy Lot Percentage by Foes. I'm James Cole,

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: alongside the Hall of Famer Michael Fabriano and Elliott Harrison

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: as well. It's been a crazy couple of weeks in

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: the NFL and sometimes it's difficult to talk about serious

18
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: stuff on fantasy, but we do have to do it

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: all right. The top headline in the NFL, of course,

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: comes out of Minnesota, as the Vikings have placed Adrian

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Peterson on the Exempt Commissioner's Permission list. This means Peterson

22
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: will be required to stay away from the team and

23
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: all team activities. Wednesday, the Vikings front office delivered a

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: statement and answered questions including Peterson's future in Minnesota. Adrian

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: will be away from the team and focus on this

26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: personal situation. We will support Adrian during this legal and

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: personal process, but we firmly believe this is the right decision.

28
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Peter said, there will not be a trial into two

29
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen. Is that's safe to say he's not playing

30
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: this year? You don't know that today. I don't know

31
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: the legal proceedings yet and when the trials are and

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's where it is scheduled today. So

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: under the assumption what we said in our statement is

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: that until these legal matters are uh resolved, that that

35
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: he will remain on this exemption list. So Adrian Peterson

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: has an initial hearing set for October eighth, but the

37
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Montgomery County District Attorney had previously stated that a trial

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: wasn't likely until if it gets that farm, regardless of

39
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: team will be without Peterson for the foreseeable future. And

40
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: as you heard, there's no guarantee he'll be back this season.

41
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: So let's look to this weekend, and of course the

42
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: big name is gonna be matt Asiatta. Peterson out, Matt

43
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Asiatta in. He's going to continue get the starting nod

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. How do you project Matt Asiata to

45
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: play this Sunday? I like the matchup a lot against

46
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. They haven't been good against the run

47
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: this season, so Aciota could come in and be pretty productive.

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: He's not Adrian Peterson, but he's going to fill that

49
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: void in your starting line up very quickly. On in

50
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: terms of stats, he didn't do too well in terms

51
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: of running the ball. We know that he did put

52
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: up double digit Fantasy points, but when he ran the ball,

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: he looked a little bit slow, a little bit plotting. Yeah, well,

54
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: I think that's what he is. I mean, I think

55
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: he's a plotter. But I agree with fabs the Saints

56
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: run defense thus far. I know it's a short catalog,

57
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: but bad tackling against the Falcons. They didn't exactly tear

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: it up against Cleveland either. Can we talk about Jerick

59
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: McKinnon very quickly? Though he seems to have a long

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: term future in Minnesota. We're talking about a freak athlete

61
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: at a Georgia Southern four forty also has a forty

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: inch vertical. There's a lot to like about Jerick McKinnon,

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: isn't there? Fams From a fantasy perspective, I still say

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: he has more value in dynasty leagues. I'm not picking

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: him up just yet. Yeah, maybe a better athlete than Aciota,

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know what that's gonna do for you

67
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: right now. That's very good point, all right. More news

68
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: now is NFL media insider Ian Rappaport reported Wednesday morning

69
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: that the NFL and the NFL p A have agreed

70
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: upon a revised drug policy and as a result, I

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: have retro actively reduced the suspensions living against both West

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Welker and Josh Gordon. Will start with Wes Welker, who

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: is now immediately eligible to play in Week three. By

74
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: the way, this is not file video. This right here

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: is West Welker practicing UH this week. So he's got

76
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: a very tough matchup on the road against the Unit

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: FABS is lined to the eighty five Bears Denver on

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the road versus Seattle. He was back at practice Wednesday.

79
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Are you playing him this week? No? And and forget

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: about what Seattle did or didn't do last week. That

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: was on the road. In Seattle, there a much tougher opponent.

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried that maybe Welkers snaps are limited.

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm just not touching him just yet. Hell, I do

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: agree with that. I do. And for those of your

85
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: home file videos archived video, nice TV term there Westmonger. Hey,

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: he lives in the slot. Seattle does have a little

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: bit of trouble with that in the tight end. But

88
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I see a game of like five catches for forty

89
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: six yards for not enough for you to play him

90
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: right now. He's an okay play, you're saying in PPR leagues,

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: but probably standard league for me, okay would be ceiling.

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you're co that's not good. By

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: the way, the other big name impacted today, Josh Gordon

94
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: suspension was reduced to ten games. I'm assuming if he's available,

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be a big rush to go

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: grab him off the waiver wire. He was most statistically productive,

97
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the most statistically productive wide out in the game last year,

98
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: even after missing a couple of games. I do have

99
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: to ask you, though, ten games a long time to

100
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: be stashing a guy on your bench. Do you do it? Yes?

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: And I've picked up Josh Gordon in every single league.

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: I had done it a couple of weeks ago, because

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: think about what you're getting. Okay, he comes back, you

104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: have three or four weeks left, assuming you make the playoffs.

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: That's like getting an absolute gem off the waiver wire.

106
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: This was the best wide receiver in fantasy football last year.

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I will sit on him for as long as it takes.

108
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: When he's back, I've got an number one wide receiver

109
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: to go along with the number one wide receiver I

110
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: probably drafted already. Elliott. Do you do you agree with that?

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, keep in mind what Cleveland is going through

112
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: right now. He's gonna miss a whole lot of games.

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: We didn't even see Johnny Manzel Johnny Football Reference in

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: this set it. But if he's in that game, does

115
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's value I mean, again, there's a lot of

116
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: question marks if you could get inductive, But James, I

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: think most people out there and you guys probably feel

118
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: like you drafted pretty well. People are still feeling pretty confident.

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Even people that auto picked feel like they drafted pretty well.

120
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: If you like your starting lineup, well, guess what Week fifteen,

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen or fourteen, fifteen and sixteen is when

122
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna need Josh Gordon a playoff run. You're not

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: thinking about Week eight. You're thinking about making the playoffs

124
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: at seven and six or eight and five. And then

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: when you play that playoff game, you just click submit

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: on Josh Gordon and you get fifteen points. You will

127
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: be thrilled if you do it now and have him

128
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: later on in this season. You gotta make the playoffs first.

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: I always say all right for more news, we send

130
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: it over to Molly Carrom and Marcus Grant. Thank you eyes.

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm Molly Carram alongside Fantasy editor Marcus Grant, and he

132
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: does not auto pick. Just to clarify here, Elliott Wednesday.

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: A big day for most fantasy fans is when they

134
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: get their waiver wire picks. Let's take a look at

135
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: some waiver wire guys that you can still pick up

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: that are available. And all these guys are available in

137
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: fifty or more of leagues. Nile Davis, We've been here

138
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: in his name quite a bit. Bobby Rainy, obviously he's

139
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: stepping in for Doug Martin, Mud Bradshaw. There's a running

140
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: game in a naptown and Antonio Gates and let's talk

141
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: about Bobby Rainy obviously stepping in, as I just said,

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: for the injured Doug Martin with that toe. Could he

143
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: get us some r V one numbers on Thursday night

144
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: if he's out, you know he will get some RB

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: one snaps. At least you don't know about the numbers.

146
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: You kind of worry about what's going to happen with

147
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: Bobby Rainy visa the Doug Martin. Martin right now is

148
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: unofficially questionable. He's kind of getting some limited work in practice.

149
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I just I'm so concerned about how that rotation is

150
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: going to go. The matchup was good. Atlanta has struggled

151
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: against the running game, but I just don't know how

152
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the snaps are gonna work out and whether or not

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: you want to take that chance on a Thursday night. Yeah,

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: still some question marks there. That's a risky one. And

155
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: we mentioned the Colts running the ball and it's not

156
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson, it's Bradshaw. It is a mod Bradshaw. And

157
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: I know that he keeps trying to give Richardson the

158
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: start and give him the touches. But anybody with two

159
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: sets of with some working eyes can see that a

160
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: mud Bradshaw is the better running back there. He's more

161
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: explosive running the football, he's catching it out of the backfield,

162
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: had two touchdown catches uh in the Monday night game.

163
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: And right now he's the better guy. And I think

164
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: eventually he's gonna end up taking me over that starting job.

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Mohomedson knew, how is he looking this week with a J.

166
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Green status shaky? Well, I think right now, Mohamedson, who's

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: a guy you pick up off the waiver wire. You

168
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: plug him in maybe as a third receiver or a

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: flex spot guy. He's gonna see a lot of targets,

170
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: especially if a J. Green doesn't suit up this week.

171
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: And you love the fact that you can throw the

172
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: football down the field. It's kind of a sneaky little thing.

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: You know it's not gonna happen every week, but you

174
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: love it when all of a sudden you see your

175
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver has you've a fifty or sixty passing yards

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: and maybe a touchdown. I just want to clarify quickly,

177
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: it was a J. Green with the knee, and it

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: was Doug I'm in Doug Martin with the nie excuse me?

179
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: And a J. Green with the toe. Get those injuries straight.

180
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Moving on, Steve Smith. Is he the guy in Baltimore.

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: He looks like the guy in Baltimore. And I think

182
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is he's running the entire route tree.

183
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's going underneath, he's going across the middle,

184
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: and occasionally they try to stretch the field with the guy.

185
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: That's the difference between he and Tony Smith. Right now,

186
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: Smith just seems to be the go route guy. Steve

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Smith is the guy who's running the slants and getting

188
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: the looks from Joe Flacco and maybe year old guy

189
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: has more in the tank than we thought and a

190
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder. Absolutely. All right, Let's take a

191
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: look at what everyone has dropped to get those additions here,

192
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: and these are the top ten drops on nfl dot

193
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: com going into the season. Bishop Sanky, we were all

194
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: very high on him. Marcus and obviously we see RG

195
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: three up there and we understand that one new Sean Marino,

196
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns and with Bishop Sanky we had high hopes

197
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: coming in, but he's just not getting the ball. He's

198
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: not getting the ball. So far through two games, he

199
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: has a grand total of eight cherries. It has been

200
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: split primarily between Dexter Mcluster and Sean Green in the

201
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Titans backfield. If you've got some depth, if you have

202
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: a spot where you can hold onto and wait for

203
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: him to emerge, then maybe you go do that. Certainly

204
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: a dynasty leagues, he's an option. But right now, if

205
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: you need help with your running game because of so

206
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: many injuries, I think it's sign at least for temporarily.

207
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: It's a part ways of Bishop. Thank you. Marcus is

208
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: the next one. I don't totally get Dayne Allen had

209
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: a bad game last week, but it was just last week.

210
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Are we pulling the plug too soon because we were

211
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: high on this guy? Absolutely? And with you, I don't

212
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: really understand why everyone has jumped off the ship for

213
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: Dayne Allen. I think he's still going to be the

214
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: top tight end target for Andrew Luck. Yes, he didn't

215
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: do much against the Eagles, just the one target, no catches,

216
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: but better days are coming for Duyanne Allen. Don't run

217
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: away from him just yet. All right, how about Toby Gerhardt?

218
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Is he worth the spot on your bench at this point?

219
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: I get that he's the guy in Jacksonville. He certainly

220
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: were a spot on your bench, but I don't know

221
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: that he's worth them maybe putting too the waiver wire

222
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: quite yet. He's still a work coorse there in Jacksonville.

223
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: They don't have much behind him in that running game.

224
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's not Toby Gerhardt, it's what Dennard Robinson.

225
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just not much. It's gonna steal some

226
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: carries from Toby Gearhart right now. I know he has

227
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: not provided the production of the way a lot of

228
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: people would have expected, But put him on your bench

229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: just now, don't drop him, and then wait for him

230
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: to actually come around a little bit later. And Riley Cooper,

231
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: he was right off the board there. I'm saying goodbye

232
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: to him on my team. Is that a smart move? Yes?

233
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: It is. You know, we we saw Darren Sproles step

234
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: into the offense, and we thought that Darren Sproles was

235
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: going to take a lot of those targets that the

236
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson left behind, and maybe we didn't think that,

237
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, with Jeremy Macklin there, with a Shawn McCoy,

238
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: there was Zach Ertz there. Riley Cooper was going to

239
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: be the odd man out. He's not getting a whole

240
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of production the throws that have come his way.

241
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: He's not connecting with Nick Foles so far this season.

242
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: I think at this point it's fine to send Riley

243
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Cooper packin. I'll trade you him. That's a good one, right, okay,

244
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: just getting a good step, Thank you, all right? Coming

245
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: up on NFL Fantasy Lib, if I said it fast enough,

246
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: it might have tricked you. Not so much. Do you

247
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: believe the hype over Darren Sproles or Steve Smith after

248
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: being Fantasy performance this week? We're giving hype a spin

249
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: to reality next and later with or G three, who

250
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: can you Plug and Play? For Week three? We're digging

251
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: into some sleepers for your fantasy lineup this week that

252
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe an equivalent to the replacements wanted to. I said,

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I have three months to do this before the season.

254
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: Star must spent every single day conquering is somebody cares

255
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: in this murder? There's no sympathy if you go on

256
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: national TV and tell the world that you or cuckoo.

257
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at you. It's cuckoo. I'm trying rebuild

258
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: my relation to play. Well. Just that looks like an

259
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: awesome pace. I can't wait to see it. All right,

260
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: So it's Week three. Every year some players get off

261
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: to a very hot start, and every year we have

262
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: cat scriptselves. Do you believe the hype? So guys are

263
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna start with a little spark plug in Philadelphia. We're

264
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: talking about Darren Sprawls. He's the second highest scoring running

265
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: back in the game. Elliott, do you believe? No? I

266
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I'll tell you what. Darren Sprowles

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: was awesome hundred fifty two yards receiving against Indianapolis Colts

268
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: the other night. I also had a nineteen yard touchdown run.

269
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Ye nifty little plays. But am I gonna start him

270
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: as an RB one or r B two every week? No?

271
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: And I'm certainly not going to ignore the matchup with

272
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: this guy. Now, if you said, hey, I'm gonna put

273
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: him in the flex every week, I might be okay

274
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: with that. But if you're looking at him as an

275
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: RB one r B two, you got to look at

276
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: what the matchup is. I think this guy is a

277
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: feast or famine style player. I think that's what he is.

278
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll finish in the top seven or

279
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: eight running backs in Fantasy this year. Alright, let's talk

280
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: about Baltimore triple S, talking about Steve Smith Senior versus

281
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: another Smith, Torry Smith. You see the targets, the receptions, yards,

282
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: touch on all that stuff in Steve Smith Seniors advantage

283
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: and right now he's a top ten now in Fantasy,

284
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Dez Bryant. I had a Percy Harvin, I

285
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: had Ronnie White. I think you throw to Mary's Thomas

286
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: in there as well. Do you believe the hype fans? Oh,

287
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: trade him, sell high on him right now, listen, go

288
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: to your computer and start throwing him out there. If

289
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: you own Steve Smith, this is not going to continue.

290
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Tory Smith has got to get better, Elliott, He's got

291
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: to get better than he's been in the first couple

292
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: of games. I don't know that. And there's a lot

293
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: of mouths defeating that Baltimore Ravens passing game. You've got

294
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Owen Daniels, Dennis Pitta. You've also got, of course, Steve

295
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Smith Senior triple s as James likes to call him.

296
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm selling high on him. I don't believe the hype,

297
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's going to continue to put

298
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: up these kind of not You can't tell this man

299
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: why he is wrong. Well, because I'm right. Listen, I

300
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: love you, but I don't think that Tory Smith is

301
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna be able to come back. Last year, Tory Smith

302
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: had over a thousand yards hundred and thirty seven targets,

303
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: but he only caught sixty five of them. That's less

304
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: than because they throw it to him vertically so much. Well,

305
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: now they've got Steve Smith that can run every route

306
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: on the route tree, including the vertical game. They try

307
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: to hit him deep against the Steelers. So now he

308
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: can do everything that Tory Smith can do and more.

309
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: I think Tory smith targets gonna go way down. I

310
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: think Steve Smith's a guy. Now. Well, he finished ahead

311
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: of all those names at James mentioned. No how many

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers finished for a thousand yards at his age

313
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL's history. It doesn't happen very often. Now

314
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I love it. Hey, you know what, let's

315
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: let's continue this stats versus Tape's argument. Let's talk about

316
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. He's performed unbelievably well, and of course a

317
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: lot of that was sparked by a huge Week two

318
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: against Seattle. Do you believe the hype Philip Rivers. I

319
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: think he's a QB one, but I don't think he's

320
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: a guy that you're starting weekend and week out just

321
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: based on his name. Philip Rivers. I think you have

322
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: to look at the matchups in this week. You look

323
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: at a matchup on the road against an a f

324
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: C East team. He has had eight such games. Okay,

325
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,479
Speaker 1: he's only average passing yards, only twelve touchdowns, eight picks.

326
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: Not good look at on the road against a f

327
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: C East teams. It's like tacos and bananas. Man. I mean,

328
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: it's so random, right, you know? He said, because the

329
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Bills are a tough matchup, I'd buy it, but I'm

330
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: not buying the a f C East. Philip Rivers good

331
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: play in fantasy this year, not this week against Buffalo

332
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: because it's Buffalo there in the a f C, not

333
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: because they're an FC E scene. You know, it's funny

334
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: they agree, but they don't agree. It's very odd. Anyways,

335
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: coming up on NFL Fantasy Alive. It's Wednesday, so you

336
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: can count on us to bring you Michael Fabriano, start

337
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: him and Sid Hims four Week three. Are you sitting

338
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos against the Seahawks. And when we return, we've

339
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: got the good Doctor in the house. He's not here

340
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: to treat of bar Ban should be Amila, but he

341
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: will be breaking down which players might be walking around

342
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: like this coming up. All right, welcome back to NFL

343
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. A long list of injuries on Sunday, of course,

344
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: headlined by Robert Griffin the Third. Jamal Charles on there

345
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: as well, with all these names, Eric Decker, A. J. Green,

346
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,359
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns, de Sean Jackson, Ernest Davis almost all. Yes, absolutely,

347
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: and we'll be getting to the difference there as well.

348
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: With a bunch of big name fantasy names on the sidelines.

349
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: We're talking injuries, and to do that we have to

350
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: call him the big Guns. Dr Neil good Dodger here

351
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: on hand to help explain what some of these injuries

352
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: me and how it's going to impact the perspective players

353
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: moving forward. And we're gonna start in Washington, Doctor Neil

354
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: and talk about r G three dislocated his ankle this

355
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars. What exactly does that mean? I

356
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: tell you that is a tremendous injury. I mean when

357
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: you're dislocated ankle, we typically associate that with the fracture. Sure,

358
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense that it would pop out otherwise,

359
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: but for this purpose, he got lucky. And it's very unique.

360
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: Lucky lucky because it dislocated, but he didn't fracture. So

361
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: guess what, no surgery. And if I show you the

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: foot here, I'll show exactly what happened to r G three. Okay,

363
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: his left foot turned out. So as a result, if

364
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: you look at all the tendons and ligaments of everything

365
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: around the ankle, can see there's a lot. This is

366
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: what he did. Okay, he turned and did that. That's

367
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: not good and it popped out and so you can

368
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: see what it did with his ankle ligaments. So the

369
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: key is that's got a scar back. In no surgery,

370
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: you're looking at two weeks in the cast, a few

371
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: more weeks in a boot. They'll do extensive rehab. You

372
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: may see him back out there early in six eight weeks.

373
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: So now we know the timetable. We saw the injury.

374
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: It looks very you know, it looks pretty serious in

375
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: terms of football. What does that mean in terms of

376
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: his drop back ability? Well, it's gonna be tough. I mean, obviously,

377
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: when he drives off that left foot, he's not gonna

378
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: want to turn it out and that's what's going to

379
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: cause and problems when he tries to drop back or

380
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: tries to cut to the right or left, He's gonna

381
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: have a severe problem with that. Especially when you see

382
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: him back. He's not gonna have much strength, our stability,

383
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: that feeling of stability in the angle from the football

384
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: standpoint off war, We're looking at a guy now that

385
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna see a lot of shotgun moving forward

386
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: when he does come back. But does that fit in

387
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: with with gruten scheme? Well, you have to just I

388
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: think that that's what they're gonna have to do. J.

389
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Gruon's gonna just with r G three and whatever limitation

390
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: that he has, and so you want to put him

391
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: in the in the right situation to thrive. And I'm

392
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: wearing a brace similar right, Doc guy uh to to

393
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: something that he would wear coming back from this injury.

394
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: And what I noticed about wearing this, and I've worn

395
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: one of these before. It's very hard to make any

396
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: type of lateral cuts. So you're gonna see him doing

397
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of linear stuff and stuff up and down

398
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: to where that gives us a quick drop back and

399
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: and just tell us what you're feeling. Well. Typically you'll

400
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: see those quarterbacks when they're dropping back. They're gonna drop

401
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: back like this planning here. It's so hard. And I'm

402
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna call this the old school Achilles Daniel Marino, where

403
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: you're dropping back like this rather than going back and

404
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: really getting out there some speed. But now he's gonna

405
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: be in the shotgun, so he won't have to drop

406
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: back that much. Uh and even now just walking back

407
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: into my spot here is still very hard to walk

408
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: with it interesting, all right. So the chance of very quickly,

409
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: the chance of re injury in the long term effects,

410
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: it's big. You know. Ankle injuries are tough. Dis locations

411
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: are tougher. You're looking at him at least for a

412
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: year or two having this a year or two instability

413
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: symptoms in the ankle. He'll be out there playing, but

414
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: it may affect the way he plays, just like Abar

415
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: mentioned right now, alright, very good. So Bengals wide receiver A. J.

416
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: Green left last Sunday's game with the foot strain. Dr

417
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Neil take us through. What does that mean, Well, it

418
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: means that he strained the ligaments in his foot. So

419
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: what that means is that there's no fracture, but it's

420
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for him to actually bend the foot,

421
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be really tough to to jump and run.

422
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: And so for instance, with Accuba, we put him in

423
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: a kind of a boot kind of to emulate what

424
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna have, and which you'll notice in Aja Green

425
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: shoes as well, they'll probably put like a steel shank

426
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: in there so it won't let him bend because it

427
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: hurts and it's and you know, it's so frustrating because

428
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: when you're playing with that metal shanking your shoe, you

429
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: want to be able to roll up on your on

430
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: the balls or your feet so you can be able

431
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: to generate speed. And for A J. Green, that's his

432
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: game is to be able to generate that speed, and

433
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: with this metal shank, it makes it very hard, so

434
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: you almost have to roll into the speed, which makes

435
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: it very hard to get off the line of scrimmage

436
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver because you have to build up

437
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: speed as you go because there's not that initial burst

438
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: that you get from rolling on the top. And even

439
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: now I can do it here on my right, but

440
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: on my left it's very hard to roll on the

441
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: top because the bottom is so stiff. Does it Does

442
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: it impact the way that you cut? You talked about

443
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: RG three in the Yes, it's a slow cut because

444
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: when you're cutting, it's almost like turning over a big circle,

445
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: like when you're trying to just work into it. As

446
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: he's running, he's gonna have to slow into it and

447
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: then get out. So everything is good with that what

448
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: you're looking at for his cuts will be slower. And

449
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: the thing with a J. Greene, he's been so good

450
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: at running and especially talk about that explosive first step.

451
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk from wide receiver to the running back. Now,

452
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Saints running back mark Ingram broke his hand in the

453
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: first half Sunday, then actually played the entire second half

454
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: with this injuries now said to be out a month.

455
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: Question for your Dr. Neil. If the guy can play

456
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: an entire second half with a broken hand, why is

457
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: he now out an entire month? What it's You know,

458
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: it's a great question because it starts swelling up right away. Okay, now,

459
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: so he was able to play through with a drenaline

460
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: like you said, But once you have a fracture, you

461
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: want that to heal in the right spot, especially for

462
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: an NFL running back. He's gonna take multiple hits to

463
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: it as people try to swipe the ball, So for him,

464
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: it's important that it heals. It's important that he doesn't

465
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: dislocate it further. There are nerves, there are vessels in

466
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: that area. It's better to be safe and not take

467
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: a risk. So for him, he's gonna spend the next

468
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: four weeks letting it he and the swelling has to

469
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: go down, the pain has to go down. He'll still

470
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: feel stiff in there for the next few weeks. Is

471
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: it possible, I'm gonna grab this football here real quick,

472
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: so a park and kind of just show us what

473
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: this means. But is it possible he comes back sooner

474
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: than four weeks? Yeah, it is possible. But you see,

475
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: Akbar's wearing a brace to kind of emulate either what

476
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: he will wear or what he feels currently and can

477
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: tell us what do you feel like if he does

478
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: go out there and play. Well, I tell you all

479
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: running backs learned this from a very young and fundamental

480
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: ages that there's three point of security when he comes

481
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: to the ball. Obviously, you want to grab it here,

482
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: you want to secure it into your forearm. And as

483
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: you can see, it's very hard for me to secure

484
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: this ball into my fortun and then you want to

485
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: tuck it in underneath here there's all this space and

486
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it very easy to pop this ball out.

487
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very challenging for him to actually

488
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: secure this ball. So perhaps he you know, he starts

489
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: running like this to secure the ball. We could see

490
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: some ball security issue. And then there's there's not a

491
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: lot of mobility. You need that that that range emotion

492
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: to be able to stiff here, very very stiff. But

493
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: that's to protect it, right, that's to protective documents. So

494
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't have that, I'm not gonna feel very safe

495
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna feel very insecure running the ball. About

496
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: the passing game, well, the passing game is very hard.

497
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: Doct you played a little quarterback before. I'm pretty sure,

498
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: right WHOA, that's it? That's and then look with that

499
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: ball and I've got hands, Trust me, I've got hand.

500
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: What you can see, Look, this ball is not very

501
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: secure here. Look at this palm here. I've got a

502
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: big thing elevated situation going on here that makes it

503
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: very hard to secure that ball the way I want to.

504
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: So you put that ball out there like that, This

505
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: ball could be flying out into the defender's hand. It's

506
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: very good. No. Sean Moreno dislocated his elbow Sunday. But

507
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: if you want to see Dr Neil's take on that

508
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,880

Speaker 1: them at NFL dot com slash genius and Marcus might

536
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: cheat on his answers. This just did. It's time now

537
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: for in the moment presented by the Lincoln Motor Company.

538
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: Research is not cheating, okay, let's focus. We have two minutes. People.

539
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: You know the drill. We keep it moving, run a

540
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: tight ship, and answer your questions. We start with the quarterbacks.

541
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: Better start, this is a tough one. Philip Rivers or

542
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan. I'm going Philip Rivers against that defense.

543
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just worried about the Thursday night curse. That's

544
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: my thing. He just doesn't want to be wrong enough

545
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: to think about it all. That's basically what it's all

546
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: about him. Better trade Red Chee Bush for Frank Gore.

547
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: If I'm getting Frank Gore, I feel like I'm winning

548
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: that deal because he's still the workhorse in that Niner.

549
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: I agree. Enjoyed Bell scares me. Better start Keenan Allen

550
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: or Kelvin Benjamin. I'm going with the rook here. Yeah.

551
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: I like Kelvin Benjamin. I don't like the Chargers against

552
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: that defense and Buffalo alright, I can be the contrarian.

553
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers find ways to get Allen the ball,

554
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: especially underneath, like Benjamin against the Steelers. All right, Better

555
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: start Keenan Allen or Pierre gar So cookies. I'm gonna

556
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: go Pierre Garson. I think it's just gonna be a

557
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: high scoring games week. You know what, I'm actually gonna

558
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: take keenan Allen in this one. I don't like Garson

559
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: against the Eagles with a new quarterback. Alright, hoo to

560
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: drop Golden Tate or An Kwan Bolden. Oh boy, you

561
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: know what, I would drop Golden Tate. I hate to

562
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: say it. We've talked about this off camera a little bit.

563
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: A lot of targets Forran Kwan boldenett offense. I think

564
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: coming up with Vernon Davis. I'm glad you've come around

565
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: to my way of seeing things. Yeah, I'm going to

566
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Golden A. Kwan Bolden's got a tough matchup though against

567
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: the Arizona secondary. Just saying, better pick up Larry Danelle

568
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: or Travis Kelsey. I'm picking up Travis Kelsey if I

569
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: had that choice, Larry Donell. I'm still not sold on

570
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. A lot of upside. Yeah, I'm still worried

571
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: about that Giants passing game as a whole as well.

572
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Not sold on the Giant shock. Better start Chris Johnson

573
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: or Shane Vereen. I'm going Chris Johnson here simply because

574
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be on the field a

575
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: little bit longer than Shane Very. You know what I

576
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: was gonna say, gut play. I'm with him. Chris Johnson

577
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: against the Bears first defense. A lot of question marks

578
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: to Okay, better pick up Mohammed Sanu or Nile's fault.

579
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: I go Mohammed Sanu on that one. He might throw

580
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: you a touchdown pass. That's right, get point. Look, I

581
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: love when you guys agree. Makes my life easy. Better

582
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: start justin for sett or Bernard Piers. Bernard Pierce because

583
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: he seems to be getting most of the carries right now.

584
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Can I go neither? No decision Art Piers like he

585
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: got some touches against say it like you mean it?

586
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: Can you pick up somebody else? Alright? Nile Davis on

587
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: the waiver word, good stuff, guys, thank you so much.

588
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: That was in the moment presented by the Lincoln Motor Company.

589
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: James and Fabs take it away. Guys, aren't thank you

608
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: I start Andrew Luck? Pretty soon he is going to

609
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: be on that list of Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.

610
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: No brainer. This is a great matchup this week against

611
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's had four career games against them,

612
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: and in three of them he scored multiple touchdowns. Andrew

613
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: Luck is a guy I told you it was gonna

614
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: break into the top three this year, he's well on

615
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: his a in two thousand and fourteen. Now, a quarterback

616
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting this week that a lot of people

617
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: might not agree with me is Philip Rivers. And yes,

618
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: he's coming off a great game against the Seattle Seahawks,

619
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: and I give him all the credit in the world.

620
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: But listen to this stat. All right, Philip Rivers against

621
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: the a f C East on the road. Eight career

622
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: road games, he's averaged two hundred and fifteen yards with

623
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: just twelve touchdowns and eight picks. Those aren't great numbers.

624
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bill's defense is underrated, both from a reality

625
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: and a fantasy perspective. So I say Philip Rivers is

626
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: going to struggle a little bit in week three. All right,

627
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: let's say look at you're a partial list of your

628
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: starts and sits at the quarterback position. Start up Jake Cutler,

629
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: man coming off of that huge game and great Niners.

630
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup against the Jets. Colin Kaepernick,

631
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, sit him, Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers.

632
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Some big names on the CYNEMA. Hey Manning is in

633
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: my owners beware, but you have to play Peyton May.

634
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how you would not be surprised if

635
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: he did not have a great game. Can we talk

636
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: about the running back position? You know, when we think

637
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: about some hot waiver wire pickups this week, I'm sure

638
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: those guys will be on your list as well. One

639
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: of those guys Niles Davis. And Nile Davis is probably

640
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: the hottest pickup off the waiver wire this week because

641
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles is down with the hiagle sprain and I

642
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: say get him into your lineup. I have him ranked

643
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: as a low n RV one this week. NL Davis

644
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: is going to touch the ball times out of the

645
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: backfield for the Kansas City Chiefs, and this is a

646
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: good matchup against Miami. They have a lot of hundred

647
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: thirty plush rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in their

648
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: last nine home games. Davis is the whole offense here, James.

649
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: He is the whole offense. And let's let's be honest.

650
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: The eye test showed us he looked better than Jamal

651
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Charles did when Charles was actually healthy. It's crazy to

652
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: say I'm going with Nile Davis. Another running BACKUY liked

653
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: this week is Shane Vreen listen. I know Bill Belichick

654
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: hates our fantasy football teams, and I liked Vreen last

655
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: weekend it with Stephen Ridley. I would start both of

656
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: these guys really and Verene. Verene obviously has more value

657
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: in PPR leagus, but they're playing the Raiders, and their

658
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: Raiders are awful against the run. They've been just terrible

659
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points a lot of the position. So

660
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: if you have Ridley, good flex start, if you Everreen,

661
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: good flex starter RB two in PPR leagues. A player

662
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting this week, and this is probably gonna

663
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: come as no surprise, is monte Ball against the Seattle Seahawks.

664
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: They have allowed in average if you were, the seventy

665
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards in their last four home games. They've also

666
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: allowed rush are and only three rushing touchdowns in their

667
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: last thirteen games in Seattle, and playing in Seattle is difficult.

668
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: It might be the toughest matchup in the entire National

669
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Football League, not only for NFL teams, but for fantasy

670
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: players as well. So monte Ball is a guy that

671
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: if you have depth at the running back position, and

672
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: some people do because they picked up a lot of

673
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: guys off the Waiver Wire is really a risk this week.

674
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: Interesting stuff, especially considering where he was drafted uh this year,

675
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: But you're right, Seattle at home a different animal, nasty alright,

676
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: start up Alman Bradshaw also an interesting name there, Chris Johnson,

677
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Shane Verine, send him, Frank Gore, C. J. Spiller rounding

678
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: out those, but of course you can find that big

679
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: list of course online as well. Let's talk about the

680
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers though. How about Mike Wallace? Is he a starter?

681
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: Is he a sit? He is? Mike Wallace has played

682
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: very well over the first couple of games of the season,

683
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: and now he's a guy that you're gonna be starting

684
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: almost a weekend, in a week out or until further notice.

685
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: And this is a very very good matchup against the Chiefs,

686
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: and their past defense has looked absolutely dreadful. They've given

687
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: up the eighth most fantasy points to wide receivers this year.

688
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: And Wallace has a receiving touchdown in four straight home games,

689
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: and he has two hundred yard games in those four

690
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: home contest Start Mike Wass. I'm also starting Cordarrel Patterson

691
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: a hearts read. He didn't have a good game last week.

692
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: But the hearts are still popping out. You can't see

693
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: it over the b roll, but they're still popping out.

694
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: The States have allowed the second most fantasy points of

695
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers this year. They're allowing an average of over

696
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: receiving yards this year per game. Those are big numbers.

697
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: And with Adrian Peterson out, they're gonna utilize Cordarrel Patterson

698
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: as one of their main weapons in this offense. Start

699
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: them and start them with confidence, guy that I don't

700
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: have confidence in this week. Roddy White, Now he's questionable

701
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: for Thursday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but

702
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: if he does a for the Falcons, he should not

703
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: be playing for your fantasy football team. He has averaged

704
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: forty six receiving yards and scored one touchdown in his

705
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: last seven home games against the Buccaneers. And furthermore, he

706
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: has just three receiving touchdowns in seventeen career games against

707
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. I gave you this stabt about Roddy White

708
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: last week on the road against a FC teams, He's

709
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: not good. Guess what last week on the road a

710
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: FC team, he was not good. Three touchdowns in seven

711
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's trends that I can dig up or we

712
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: dig up here they really do end up holding up interesting,

713
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: all right? Start up, al Shon Jeffrey still dealing with

714
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury, but a tasty matchup against the Jets.

715
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: Jeremy Matt tasty. I like that absolutely, You'll eat it

716
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: all day, all right. Victor is speaking of Victor Cruz

717
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: Salsa dance, No sit him, Eric Decker, Tory Smith as well,

718
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: all right, speaking of the Falcons. Make sure to join

724
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: we're doing a little step check in getting into some

725
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: targets and touches. Mad Bradshaw stole the light away from

726
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Trent richardson what that means for their respective fantasy values

727
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: and are you already stir crazy over getting those trades in?

728
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: Don't worry. We're doing a little by low Sell high

729
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: when some of are on some of our favorite receivers

730
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: and running backs when we return. Welcome back into NFL

731
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, and let's take a look the top touches

732
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: from this season. Here, Arian Foster in DeMarco Murray leading

733
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: the pack jew Bernard Shawn McCoy, and then Levian Bell

734
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant is going to give us the low

735
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: down on targets and touches from to Mars taken away.

736
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: The infamous double fumble will be the lasting image of

737
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: James Jones from Week two, but it overshadowed the Raiders receiver.

738
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: Seeing four team targets in Oakland's lost, the veteran converted

739
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: those chances into one hundred twelve receiving yards in a touchdown.

740
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: Jones might have just taken the lead as the Raiders

741
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: wide out to own if you're into that sort of thing.

742
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: It took about two quarters for the Packers offense to

743
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: get going Sunday, but once it did, Wowsers. Aaron Rodgers

744
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: locked in on Jordy Nelson and threw him the football

745
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: sixteen times, the most targets of any player in Week two,

746
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: and Nelson turned it into nine catches for two hundred

747
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: nine yards and a score. If you freaked out a
