00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: What is Up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Podcast. It's Being Your Man NMG Marcus Strand

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer at Michael Fabio on

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: the Fantasy viper Grand Barfield being his sinus infection. Are

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: on a plane I think back to Atlanta to enjoy

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: the holiday. I'm sure he's not enjoying that sinus in section.

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like fun. So it is. For a

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's championship Monday, right, It's victory lap Monday.

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: For a lot of people. There's a lot of heartache

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: going on though today. I mean, how are you feeling

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: after this one? I gotta be honest with you, man,

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Bob Humbug. Seriously, I feel like Clark Griswold

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: when he couldn't get all the lights to light up

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: on his house and he started punching sandy and kicking

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: the reindeer like. This has been the most frustrating fantasy

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: season that I've had now overall. I mean, I was

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: in twelve leagues, I made the playoffs in eleven, I

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: made nine. Sammy's have made five championships. I'm probably gonna

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: lose in three unless I can get seventy two points

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: from Davante Adams, Aaron Jones might boon not happening. I'm

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, but not impossible, but tough. But I

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people, especially from what I

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter, we're feeling it too, because like this

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: year was, and not to predict the future is ever easy,

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: but it got harder this year. I mean it really did,

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: like and Saturday was a perfect example. Right, So who

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: do we have ranked highly at the quarterback poisition in

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: that in that in those three matchups, we had, you know,

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Watson and Winston, Nobody like Golf, nobody liked Brady, nobody

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: liked Josh Allen, and those are the three guys that

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: had the best games. Golf had twenty. I mean the

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: week before he played the cow I think that was

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They were wearing Cowboys uniforms. I don't know

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: if they were actually the Cowboys. And then you go

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: into the week confident in having a Watson, having Winston

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: through fos. I'm never starting Jamis Winston in the game

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: Chis and calls ever again in my life. Okay, And

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: Watson was worse. Russell Wilson. I get it, the seahawkside

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: about a hundred injuries, but it's the Cardinals. Russell Wilson

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: was terrible. And that Matt Ryan. We all like Matt Ryan.

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: He went't any good. Philip Brewer's playing the Raiders. He

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: wasn't any good. Dak Prescott, don't get me started on

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: the cow And this is what I wanted. I got

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: excited for a second, but I know what the Cowboys are.

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I know what happens with the Cowboys. You get excited

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: because they win a game, maybe they shouldn't have won,

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: and then suddenly it all goes to crap, which is

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: exactly but at least Urban is gonna be the coach

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: next year. At least. But but but I talked about Brooks.

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, I think just Jason Garrett get

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: the hell out of Dallas, please. All it's been fun

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: for ten years except for it hasn't been um. And

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: there were times this week where I freaking felt like

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Jim Mora, Well, what happened was that second game we

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: got our ass kicked on the second half. We just

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: got our ass totally kicked. We couldn't do diddly pooh offensively.

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: We couldn't make a first down. We couldn't run the ball.

58
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: We didn't try to run the ball, We couldn't complete

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: a pass. We sucked the second half. We sucked. We

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the run. Every time they got the ball

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and went down and got points. We got our ass

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: totally kicked in the second half. That's what it boiled

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: down to. It was a horse performance in the second half.

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm totally embarrassed and totally ashamed coaching were coaching did

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: a horrible job. The players did a horrible job. We

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: got our ass kicked in that second half. It sucked.

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: It's stunk, and he's frustrating. Like my fantasy teams did

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: deadly pooh nothing this week. You know, Dj Moore got hurt.

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: I had Zeke, I had that, I had Jami's okay,

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I had the Patriots defense this week terrible. And you

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: know what to markets, I made almost every right move.

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: The one move that costs me a championship was I

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: started Anthony Miller over Kenny Galladay if I played god,

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: but anythink Miller had been half four weeks in a row,

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs has struggled against the slot and Galt

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: is playing in Denver with David Block quarterback against the Broncos.

77
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: So listen, it's the holidays. A lot of us are

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: a lot of us are feeling, you know, the holiday spirit.

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm that Bonezia screwed right now. I'll get over it,

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: but I promise you this has been one of I mean, hell,

81
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: it's baseball seasons for me. You see, I have the

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: Yankees shirt on. It's freaking baseball season right now. The

83
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys are out, Fantasy is over. I took one's done.

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna sneak into the playoffs. They're gonna win a

85
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: couple of playoff games. Jason Garrett is gonna be back

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: for another year. Get more clapping on the sideline is

87
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: going to be fantastic. I thought we were friends. Why

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: you gotta hate me because I just think it's funny

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and I just want humor for my own So anyways,

90
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: congratulation everybody who's like winning and is projected to win.

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Candice Patton's gonna win, and Patton is going to win

92
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: League One. I drafted that team, you did, and she

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: got Sa Kwan Barkley to show up at the right time.

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Sa Kwan to a little so yeah,

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: that that that's it for me. I'm just I'm frustrated.

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: What we got planning to talk about. Well, look at

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: some of the biggest disappointments of Week six team. Some

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: of them were on Fab's teams, some of them probably weren't.

99
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of the biggest league winning surprises

100
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and as handful of guys that either finished strong or

101
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: finished poorly, and now we'll sort of try to project

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: next year, like what we think about them, where we

103
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: might be drafting them. I mean, this will be the

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: first of many times we do this, because it's a

105
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: long way until August. Uh. And then for those of

106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: you who are psychopaths and are playing Week seven teams,

107
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: we'll do some labor wire stuff. Maybe it'll be sort

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: of sort of daily fantasy related if you will. But

109
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I know there's some of you sociopaths out there who

110
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: feel like it's fun to imagine if the number one

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: ad in Fantasy football this week is Marshawn Land. I mean,

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that that that potentially is going

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: to be wild. But before we do all that, I'd

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: say we go behind the glass to talk to our

115
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: faithful producer. But one senior Edward L. Murphy Esquire is

116
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: back in New York. But also we're in stage five today.

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't normal podcasting, so there is no glass, So

118
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: I'll just look over to my right and we'll talk

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: to our pal, Ricky Hollywood of Fantasy League one Famous,

120
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: going on, Hey, how are you guys good? How did

121
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: your fantasy season turned? I know how your League one

122
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: team turn? Yeah? You beat me in the console, Asian Brake.

123
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: I did beat you, Marcus, so I had to eat

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a super spicy hot ship because of that. Shoot. Oh wait,

125
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: did you do it already? Yeah? I did it last Thursday.

126
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: It was like the Acbar one. It was not as bad.

127
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: My reaction was not as bad as ak bars. I

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: ate it, and it was not nearly as bad as

129
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: I thought it would. Okay, all right, yeah I lost.

130
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: I did. I did the holiday over Miller. Things switched, yeah,

131
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: and there was just I had. I had Russell Wilson

132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: in my championship. I was going up and the image

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: was so good against Arizona. You're thinking, dude, he's gonna

134
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: have easy. That was insane. Yesterday was so frustrating. I

135
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: had zach Ert like everything that I played I played

136
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Will Fuller in a league it was it was yeah,

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: no I had I had Fuller too. I had a

138
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: win in that one, but Fuller, forget it. There's two.

139
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: There's two players that are on my my poop list.

140
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. I'm not gonna swear. Unless

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson drops to me in like the tenth round,

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm never drafting him again. I know how good he

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: can be when he's good. When he's bad, he kills you.

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: He freaking kills you. I do think a fun thing

145
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the offseason will be sort of you know,

146
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: variants and guys who are are sort of fantasy roller

147
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: coasters who are like really big one week and then

148
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: really down the next week. James to my god, I

149
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: mean you gotta kid me. Oh man, this is gonna

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: be a fun show today. Everybody's like equally solid. The

151
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys lost, which actually is good, which actually is good

152
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: for me because Garret will be gone. That's funny. Garret

153
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: will be gone. All right, a midtime, let's do some news,

154
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: all right for those of you who are still playing fantasy.

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: Why well yet one why? But um let's start with

156
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: some some major injuries that happened on Sunday across the NFL.

157
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: First off, the Seahawks just decimated with injuries in their

158
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Chris Carson, who looks like

159
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: he has done for the season. C J. Pro Sies,

160
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: I believe, suffered a broken arm. They lose, They lose

161
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: one of their offensive lineman, Dwayne Brown as well. So

162
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: now the rumor floating around because the Seahawks are gonna

163
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: need bodies at running back. I've seen c J. Anderson's

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: name pop up, Robert Turbin, I've seen Robert Turbin's name

165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: pop up. But the most interesting name that is popped

166
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: up could beast Mode be back in Sea. I mean apparently,

167
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean Rappaport had had tweeted that out that he's

168
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: going to Seattle to to meet with the Seahawks and

169
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: they need it, man, Like they've lost their top three

170
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: running backs in the last three weeks, you know, a

171
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: couple weeks, which by the way, doesn't excuse Tyler Lockett

172
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: giving you nothing. I don't know what yesterday or whatever,

173
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, man, the injuries the last couple of weeks,

174
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I've been brutal, and we hate to see it. But

175
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean the Seahawks are I mean, this is this

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: is a potential number one seed in the NFC. Am

177
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: I right, yeah, I mean look if they if the

178
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: Seahawks win, if they beat the forty Niners next week, yeah,

179
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: they're the one seed, right, you know, like that's it.

180
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: But but like boy, I tell you they're they're gonna

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: come and beat the hell Yeah. I mean, I guess

182
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, they get that game at home,

183
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: which is sort of an advantage because it's just so

184
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: hard to play up there. You got to be feeling

185
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: good as a Niners fan though. I mean, look, I

186
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: am playing cautiously optimistic. Man. Look as long as Russell

187
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Wilson is still breathing, like, you can't really count that

188
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: team out. So but okay, So the question is if

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: you are if you're playing let's say you're playing a

190
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: daily slate, right, or you are one of those sociopaths

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: playing week seventeen and Marshawn Lynch is out there. If

192
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: he comes back and he signs, let's say what, it's

193
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: it's Monday morning right now, right, if he signs in

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: the next twelve to thirty six hours, do you put

195
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: in a claim. Hell yeah, I mean the top claim.

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: But years and he's going to get to forty nighter defense.

197
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the Niner defense has kind of

198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: gotten shredded the last few weeks. Marshawn Lynch he knows

199
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: the system. I don't think he's I don't think it's

200
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna feel like he's been gone. Yeah, I mean, I

201
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: mean who you know who knows like I mean that

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: that that's gonna be tough. I'm guessing they wouldn't get

203
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: give him carries um so, but it would be pretty

204
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: It would be pretty funny that, like in week seventeen,

205
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen, you're flexing Marshawn Lynch in your Fantasy

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Champions Totally gonna make this a Twitter pole two because

207
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see, like how this, uh how this

208
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: you want to go with Travish Homer. I mean not

209
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: really know, but I mean, you know he's at least

210
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: playing football more recently than Marshawn Lynch. Um. On the

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: other side of that game, Kyler Murray had a hamstring injury.

212
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: He ended up leaving the game. We saw Huntley uh

213
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: play play the second half of that game. What does

214
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: this mean? I mean, look, I don't know if this

215
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: means anything big because what who you started? I mean, hell,

216
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: you're not starting Brent Hundley, right, No, I mean, and

217
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean Christian Kirk was was non existent. I mean,

218
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald almost had two touchdowns in that game. But the

219
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals past attack, I mean was it was not effective

220
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective at all. Kenyan Drake GE's I mean,

221
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a league winner, That guy

222
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row has carried you. I mean,

223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: he's been tremendous, tremendous, got banged up a little bit

224
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: in the game, came back in, and you know, it's

225
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: funny because like that was the guy that everyone in

226
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the industry was like, he's not a featured back, and

227
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: in Miami he couldn't be a featured back. He was

228
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: loosing curious to Frank Gore last year and then coming

229
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: in this year, I mean he was losing Caleb Blige.

230
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean you know that, and that guy, that guy

231
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: looked horrible, right, he goes the Arizona Suddenly this guy

232
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: he did have like a three or four week stretch

233
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: where he wasn't very good. That was kind of mediocre,

234
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: but he finished off on fire, which basically stamps David

235
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Whnson's ticket out of Arizona for next year. And oh,

236
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: by the way, Buccaneers, you better be looking at a

237
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: David Johnson. But next you know, if you're playing in

238
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: week seventeen, like what Cardinals can you trust not named

239
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake? No, especially if there's no Kyler. Just what

240
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: did you talk about the guys who maybe you know,

241
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: have big weeks in weeks sixteen? Some of the guys

242
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: who flopped in week sixteen, you could have put together

243
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: a really solid lineup with just guys who have declared

244
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: their freedom from Adam Gates. Right. Ryan Tannehill had a

245
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: really nice day. Davante Parker had like two points. Kenyan

246
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Drake obviously had a huge day. Might sick he had

247
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: a huge it. Just those four guys there probably would

248
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: have taken you a long way toward winning a championship.

249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out yesterday during the middle of my frustration,

250
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: say that Marcus and I were playing in a final. Okay,

251
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: Marcus had going into the weekend, he had Deshaun Watson,

252
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, Joe Mix and new Copkins, Tyler Lockett, DJ

253
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: More and Darren Waller. Okay, that's solid. That's a good

254
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: team going into the week I started. Daniel Jones, Deaner, Washington,

255
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Miles Gaston's, Taj Sharp, Hunter, renfro, DeShawn Hamilton, and Kaden Smith.

256
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win? Marcus would have been favored by seven hundred?

257
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: Do I know what I know? Now? In reality? In reality,

258
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: that crap team that I just rolled off would have

259
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: crushed all those studs. And we're supposed to predict this

260
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: stuff accurately on a regular basis. Yeah, I mean I

261
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: was helping. It was that it was banana. Predicting the

262
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: future is hard, yeah, and uh, this job has given

263
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: me a new found respect for for weatherman, for for meteorologist.

264
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: Let's see in southern California is pretty easy. I mean,

265
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: come on, it's gonna be it's gonna be warm and study. Although,

266
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: by the way, it's rains man. The power was out

267
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: like almost my entire drive in to work today too.

268
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the Cowboys offense last night. Stupid team,

269
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: when the pictures and catches report you gonna do it? Me?

270
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: Why why wouldn't you take a Marie Cooper off the

271
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: field and maybe the biggest player of the season for you. Anyways, Okay,

272
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: last bit of news. Dwayne Haskins injured his ankle in

273
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Washington's game against the New York Football Giants on Sunday

274
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: and was playing really well like this is. And I

275
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: had written, uh in my tired Wired column right that, Okay, look,

276
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going I wasn't going to try and push

277
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: a narrative that you could start Dwayne Haskins, but I

278
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: said it was gonna be interesting to watch him because

279
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be a maybe as favorable a

280
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: matchup he was going to have all season long, right,

281
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: and if if we're talking about him next year as

282
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: maybe a two quarterback league guy or a potential we

283
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: a weekly streamer, when the matchup is right, you want

284
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: to really he can take advantage of good matchups, and

285
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: until he got hurt, he was taking advantage of a

286
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: good matchup. By the way, you want to hear another

287
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: crazy stat if you combined Dwayne haskins fantasy points with

288
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: case Keenum's fantasy points just about the same as Lamar Jackson.

289
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: So the reds Kids quarterbacks the two people to who

290
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: but think I mean Haskins was well on his way

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: to having and Daniel Jones has five touchdowns. I was

292
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: going against um Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews in the league,

293
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: and when I first looked, it was like one point

294
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, the Browns actually looked like

295
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna I was so excited. It's the brown I know.

296
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: I just thought that I thought I was I had Chubb,

297
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I had Urned, I had Russell Wilson. I was like, oh,

298
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Thomas, who got me thirty and I still

299
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: got cry. If there's a more disappointing franchise this season

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys, it's the Browns. It's the brown Man. Uh.

301
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: You know, I remember talking to people about that, you know,

302
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: and how you have to sort of eliminate that that

303
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: sort of whole culture of losing. Cleveland couldn't do it

304
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: even with all the players that they brought in. Well. Look,

305
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: I said before the season that the one reason I

306
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: was hesitant about the Browns is because I just wasn't

307
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: sure Freddy Kitchens was ready for it. Yeah, Like, I mean,

308
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: this is a guy who went from being the running

309
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: backs coach last year to offensive coordinator to head coach

310
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: and it's like that just seems like a big, big

311
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: promotion in a short amount of time. And uh yeah,

312
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: it just just you think they give him another chance.

313
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: He was done, you know, he was like I thought

314
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks of maybe they would that maybe, hey,

315
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: look let's let's give him another chance to trying to

316
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: figure it out. But now you've got guys like open

317
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: openly mutiny ng on the sideline reports that you know,

318
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: you have reports that your two best wide receivers are

319
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: saying come get me. That seems kind of yeah. I mean,

320
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the Broads do have a conundrup two because I believe

321
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: they're still paying Hugh Jackson and then they would still

322
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: have to pay Freddy Kitchens and bringing a new coach. Yeah,

323
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: but hey, you know what, you got a piece of

324
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: the fan base right that they're not gonna stand for

325
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens being the coach there next year. I think

326
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: Rivera would be a good fit there because he's a

327
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: guy who is who is you know, he's a player's coach.

328
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: He's had success in this league, got to a super Bowl.

329
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see, we'll see. Of course, Baker Mayfield still

330
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna be your quarterback. Yeah, well, I mean that's a

331
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: whole other conversation that will be interesting offseason conversation. You

332
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: have to about what what's up with Baker. Does Baker

333
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Mayfield get drafted in fantasy next year? We I had

334
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: him fifth or six this year, I mean we all did. Yeah, No,

335
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: he's not. He's definitely not gonna get drafts if he does.

336
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: It's it literally is end of end of draft dart throw.

337
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the guys that we're not gonna

338
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: get draft. Tom Brady won't get draft next Brad's not

339
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted next year after either. Yeah, I mean

340
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: you know so. Um, by the way, I did put

341
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: the poll out there on Twitter. Uh so the if

342
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks signed Marshawn Lynch, which you consider him a

343
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: waiver wire ad slash slash DFS play in week seventeen,

344
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: your options are about that action boss or na bra Yeah,

345
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: so I will by the time we get to the

346
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: end of this podcast, I will sort of pay off

347
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: with the what the consensus vote on that is? All right?

348
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's pretty much share everything you need to know,

349
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: all right, Looking at Week six, team just wrapping this up,

350
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: and uh, for those of you who have won a

351
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Championship or projected to win a Fantasy championship. Congratulations

352
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: as well done. I know there's still one more game

353
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: to be played, which you know. The funny part about

354
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: this is uh and our pal Mike Florio tweeted this out.

355
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Mike Boone is going to play a significant role in

356
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: people winning championship. This is a guy that people most

357
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: people probably didn't even know his name until earlier this week.

358
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: I started, I started in three leagues, and two of

359
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: them well the one that I need seventy two, which

360
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen. Uh, and and a couple of

361
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: others because when I saw the report that Madison was

362
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: not expected to play, I'm like, I'm all my chips

363
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: to the Militable. I'm going in on Mike Poon as

364
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: a flex starter. I don't know if it's gonna matter

365
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: for me, but I mean he should get all the

366
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: touches against the defense that's not been great against running back. Yeah,

367
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Um. So there you go, by the way, Uh,

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I was like, let's talk about a little bit later.

369
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Actually right out there now you mentioned Caitlyn Blage and

370
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, did you sign with an XTFL team.

371
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Uh not yet, not at least that I'm aware he

372
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: will be. He'll be the number one pick actually to

373
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: be Antonio Brown, who, by the way, is even going

374
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: more never before he's crazy, he's making music. It's gonna

375
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: be Antonio Brown. Then well, maybe Josh Johnson will go

376
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: like it's it's making music videos. It's funny. But no,

377
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: I was saying, so yesterday Melvin Gordon pulled, what what

378
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: I think we should start calling the belage? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

379
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: nine carries fifteen yards too touchdown, Like we have to

380
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: make this a thing and like, you know, sort of

381
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: like the you know, the Mendoza line in baseball. We

382
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: need we need the belage and fantasy football where you

383
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: get like a bunch of carries, not a whole lot

384
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: of yards, and somehow you find your way into the

385
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: end zone and end up having like a decent teen

386
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Thirty two is a receive her

387
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: and twenty two point seven fantasy points. That's efficiency, right,

388
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: That is man at least the rushing part of it

389
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: is totally the bellage um. All right, So let's do

390
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: some of the big disappointments of Week sixteen and how

391
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: long are we gonna go here? I haven't broken down

392
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: by category. We'll talk about a few of them. You

393
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: can pick the one who was maybe the biggest disappointment

394
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: of them all. Uh So I start a quarterback, right,

395
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who you kind of, I guess give him

396
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pass because he was hurt, right,

397
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean he had a shoulder issue. He didn't look

398
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: like he was hurt, and he did. He did have

399
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: the issue of his wide receivers not not catching the

400
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: right Amari I mean Amari Cooper could have been naked

401
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: at the north pole and he couldn't catch a cold yet.

402
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: Now now, um, that's what it was. So Dak Prescott,

403
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, who had been on fire and then went

404
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: Jamis on you at the worst post time, Russell Wilson,

405
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: who you talked about just sort of gave you a

406
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: nothing burger against the Cardinals, and Deshaun Watson, who on

407
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: paper had a great who maybe had the best matchup

408
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: at all. Dude, I like, I go back to my

409
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: starts and sins quarterback. If you flipped him, I would

410
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: have been dead on I got I Literally everything went wrong.

411
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: Everything went wrong. Nobody like golf. Nobody like Brady, nobody

412
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: like Alan. Okay, I had Fitzpatrick, right, Uh, you know

413
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson who had he went He like did the

414
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: opposite of what he typically does. Right. In past years,

415
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: he will have a very slow start and then in

416
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the second half gangbusters. This year, he had a really

417
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: fast start second half of the season, he went into

418
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the tank. So and I feel like Russell's biggest disappointment

419
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: out of all of them because the matchup was so good,

420
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: it was so good. You know, the thing about Russell

421
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Wilson is that he really just faded down the stretch

422
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: big time. He just faded down the stretch. Um. I

423
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: mean this guy who played really well the early part

424
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: of the season, and then when you needed him the

425
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: most late season fantasy playoffs, he had what the one

426
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: good game in the fantasy playoffs and and it was

427
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: barely it was okay, it was Yeah, he gave you

428
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: what the nineteen points? Other than that, I mean what

429
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: we tenning it's niners. He gave you sixteen against the Eagles,

430
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: he gave you nine and a half. Terrible. He gave

431
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: just under seventeen against the Vikings. Yeah, tin against the

432
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: Rams and then ten against the Cardinals. Yeah, yeah, frustrating.

433
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: What's funny is that I actually won one of the

434
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: two leagues I won. He was my quarterback and I

435
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: had Josh Allen on the bench. Yeah. And another league

436
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: against Colleen colle and who's whipping my ass and the

437
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys lost o Her Eagles to um I started. I

438
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: started Winston over Josh Allen in that one TOI against

439
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: Ambertheo Harris, who's already beaten me. My two quarterbacks in

440
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: that league, as I mentioned, were dac In Jameis Winston.

441
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: So picking Ricky Holley. Can you see the disappointment in

442
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: my face? So I'm not going to get over this

443
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: until Christmas Eve, like you know, when you're like, all right,

444
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: it's over now, you know Holiday spirit? Right now, I

445
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: am scrooging like crazy. I'm mad too, where we all are.

446
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: There's so many people that are mad because nobody could

447
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: have predicted this. It's it's legitimately the craziest fantasy there is.

448
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: There is. There is a saying in the industry, and

449
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: it's called trust the process. Trust the process. You can't

450
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: freaking trust the process. You can follow the process, but

451
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: you can't trust it. It's almost like this is a

452
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: game of chance. Yeah. I know, we don't like to

453
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: say that out loud, but one of one of my pals,

454
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: Chris Warts, who as a producer here, he always he's

455
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: a big Cowboys fantasy so we're both better. Um, but

456
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: he always says, you know, you have the hardest job

457
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: in the industry because you are you have no chance

458
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: to be right more than the time. I mean, the

459
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: analysis is right, right, what happens is sort of you know,

460
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: up up in the air. So I guess I'm picking

461
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: though the biggest quarterback disappointment. I'm going to Shawn Watson. Now.

462
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I it's hard because I I had those two guys

463
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: back to back this week in the top five. Lots

464
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: of yeah. But but see, like this is why I

465
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: like okay. And I had this conversation too with with

466
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: our palor researcher Matt Frederick, who Watson's rookie year. If

467
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: you remember his rookie year, he was bananas like he

468
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: was on page to have the best fantasy season of

469
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: all time that rookie year. He was he went nuts

470
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: this year. He would give you thirty, they need to

471
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: give you twelve. Then you'd give you twenty five. Then

472
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: he gave you eleven. This is how his season started. Okay,

473
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: then he had good, then fifteen, not good, nineteen Okay,

474
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: down the stretch he had those two big games, but

475
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: he also had he had three points against the fucking Ravens.

476
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: That one killed you. He killed you yesterday against the

477
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Buccaneers of all teams, nine points a week before, sixteen

478
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. That's not good. It's not good. I would

479
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: have been better off streaming quarterbacks in the second half

480
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: of the year. Ryan Fitzpatrick was a league winner. Yeah,

481
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: look at Fitzpatrick. First, he was awesome. We kind of

482
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: saw that from like, but always have to play him though,

483
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: market That's what I'm saying, August. You would have been

484
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: laughed off the internet for suggesting such a thing. Here's

485
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: here's Ryan Fitzpatrick's numbers. Okay, in the last like month

486
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: or so, all right, now, he gave you what four

487
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Bengals. He gave you thirty one

488
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: week before, twenty week before against the Jets fourteen not great.

489
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Two weeks previous three Yeah, no, I I points and

490
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even him anywhere. But I would have hedged

491
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I would have I had

492
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: him in one league. I won that league too, So

493
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: I won the league with Ryan Fitzpatrick and where I

494
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: had Doc and Jamis Winston, I got my rear and

495
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: handed to me. All right, Uh, look at the running

496
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: backs right for the big disappointments. Joe Mixon, who had

497
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: a touch of the bubble guts, had a little bit

498
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: of the flu going into the game. The mud Yeah,

499
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: you have to hear the mud butt Um. I don't know.

500
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: He might have just had like the snip, but I

501
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say it. Marcus died.

502
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: He was not feeling great and it gave you like

503
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: nine points. Basically. When I saw that report come out,

504
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's gonna bust. James White, who was

505
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: like the bane of Ricky Hollywood's fantasy squad pretty much

506
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: all year long. I feel like you never figured him out, Ricky,

507
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't think anybody did. I don't think the

508
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: Patriots like I feel like when you sat him, he

509
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: had big games when you started him. And what's funny too,

510
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: was like his schedule was like among the best for

511
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: running backs down the stretch. He had that one big

512
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: game against Houston, I believe I had him and Sony

513
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Michelle ended up dropping Sony Michelle. It was just I

514
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about him. So he did not

515
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: have a great game on Saturday against the Bills. And

516
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: then there's Nick Chubb, who you could sort of see

517
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: it coming but at the same time, like his biggest

518
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: game of the year. Yeah. See, like the running back

519
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: position could end up getting pretty deep next year because

520
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: if if Kareem Hunt goes another team where he's a starter, hell,

521
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: he's probably drafted ahead of Nick Chubb or right right

522
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: around the same spot. I mean that you know, David Johnson,

523
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: we'll talk about him as well. But I mean if

524
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers though, like Nick Chubb, once

525
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt came back, I mean, he was good, but

526
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't great. They were about even famous. I mean

527
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: pr I mean because that that was sort of what

528
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: kept Kareem Hunt float was his ability to catch the

529
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: footballcause he wasn't getting enough carries, it wasn't picking up

530
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: enough rushing yards, but his catches sort of kept him

531
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: on par with Nick Chubb. I think for a while

532
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: he might have been outscoring Chub. I don't know if

533
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: it if it ends that way. So Creem Hunt's first

534
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: game back was what Buffalo week? Right, So Chubb had fourteen,

535
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: then he had nine, and then he had the twenty

536
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: five against the Dolphins. Then he had eight, then he

537
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: had twelve. Not good. Then he had twenty three against

538
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: Arizona and this week four and a half. So Nick

539
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Chubb killed you, like he he may have gotten into

540
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but he burned you. He burned you, and

541
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: like that was the one thing that I feel like

542
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: we were worried about when Kareem Hunt came back, that

543
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Chub was gonna lose out on the

544
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: past catching opportunities, and he obviously did, and he did

545
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: big time. I mean he had fifty eight yards receiving

546
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: in a game against Miami, but the Dolphins are terrible. Uh.

547
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Other than that, I didn't do anything as a pass catcher, honestly. Yeah,

548
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: pretty much took all that opportunity of wife. So hopefully

549
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: cream Hunt on a new team next year, and that

550
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: means Nick Jubb is the true feature back. Yeah. I

551
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: think my big disappointment though is probably I guess it'd

552
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: be James White out of that group. What about Connor.

553
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: James Connor, I left him up just because he got

554
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: hurt again and that see, like, so that's gonna be

555
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: an interesting one too, because James Conner, God bless him.

556
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say anything bad about the guy came

557
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: back from cancer, struggled to just struggled to stay. Man.

558
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: It just is what it is. Um. So yeah, I

559
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: mean that was frustrating, especially if you you had James Conner,

560
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: because you just kept waiting for him to come back,

561
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: and when he did come back, he would never make

562
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: it through a full game. Uh, And so you would

563
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: start him and then you would wouldn't get any production

564
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: out of him just because he just wasn't surviving the game.

565
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: So alright, So the wide receivers, man, there's not a

566
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: bigger one than Nuke. You sure, because there's a Mariti

567
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Cooper Bro. He was playing the Bucks, and there's DJ

568
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: chart Bro. He was Newcopkins was the number one wide

569
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: receiver drafted in fantasy leagues this year, trust me, I know,

570
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and he to do that against the Buccaneers, dude.

571
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: The the the offensive lineman that scored a touchdown for

572
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo had almost as many fantasy points as New Hopkins.

573
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: Nuke had what seven seven points something? The offensive freaking

574
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: lineman from the Bills who caught that touchdown pass Agadawks

575
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: had well, I mean he had six points and the

576
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: catches seven. Right, he had almost as many points as

577
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: Nuke freaking Hopkins. I just Nuke was so frustrating in

578
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: the medership because I spent the first round a late

579
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: first round pick on him in a couple of leagues,

580
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: and it was like, early on he wasn't scoring touchdowns,

581
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: which was annoying and frustrating. Then he started to pick

582
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: things up in the middle of the season, and then

583
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: sort of when you wanted him to really turn it on,

584
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: he just didn't know. And just, uh man, I'm just sorry.

585
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm right now. It was a frustrating season because you know,

586
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: a lot of times you leaned on these stud guys

587
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: and you were right to do it, but they just did.

588
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Like the matchups look so great and you're thinking, oh,

589
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: Russell and Tyler Lockett and Nuke and Watson and oh man,

590
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: I guess I should put Tyler Lockett on this list too, right,

591
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: because he might actually the biggest disappointment. He had one

592
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: chtch for like six yards eight yards did nothing, did nothing,

593
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: And honestly he had one. He had that game against

594
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Carolina and that was in the last month. Yeah, Tyler

595
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: Lockett actually might supersede all these guys um because he

596
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: just he just really let you down. In a huge

597
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: twelve yards one touch twelve yards, they get like eight

598
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: targets and I made if you think about it too,

599
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: they were behind, so you would think games script would

600
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: determine throwing the football, especially when all of their running

601
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: backs got hurt and they were they were giving the

602
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: ball the whole were I was excited at that point.

603
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, Russellison is gonna start slinging it.

604
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: I hit him, It's gonna be great. I had the

605
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: same thing with the Cowboys with Dac. I'm thinking, all right,

606
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: all right, we're down now, you gotta throw the ball. Man.

607
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: We are we are just also we are all negatively answer.

608
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: We are just taking the party down. Also, Seahawks couldn't

609
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: get Jacob Hollistro touches. You coudn't get your tight in

610
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You had a decent game, but it would

611
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: have been nice to get him a touched. I thought

612
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: he scored to touch down early in the game. And

613
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: it was some other dude. Hey, it's what's your nick

614
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: blore whatever? Which is his only catch all game. By

615
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: the way, it was a three yard touchdown. Thanks for nothing.

616
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: Um alright, let's let's let's flip it on the good side. Right,

617
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about some league winning surprises, like guys who

618
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: came out of no where, who potentially one year lead.

619
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the quarterback. Nobody started these guys, Daniel Jones.

620
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: Don't here was my sleeper last week in traditional leagues.

621
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: No one's playing him to k super flex? Okay, and

622
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: he don't to keep be super flex, Okay, Derek Carr

623
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: gets the argers. Hell no, I mean it was sort

624
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: of a home game for the Raiders. I was they

625
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: got a better send off there than they've been at

626
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: their stadium. I know it's a joke, dude, Um, that

627
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: is a joke. But Daniel Jones, who not only went

628
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: out and threw five touchdowns and got the Giants to win,

629
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: but then was that playing flip cup with like Eli

630
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: Man later on, like I wake up, I see that

631
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: all over my timeline, that performance, Like he is going

632
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: to be the maybe the biggest sleeper quarterback in fantasy football.

633
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: People are gonna remember that if he has a good

634
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: finish to the season, people are gonna remember that he'd

635
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: run with the football. He's got a your Experience Owner's

636
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: belt and he's gonna get overdrafted. And I don't like that.

637
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: But like I mean, he's gonna have Shepherd Tate, Evan

638
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Ingram and se Kwan Barkley and Darius Slayton is also

639
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: going to have fumble thumbs next year. Well hopefully they

640
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: do something like Tom Conflin doesn't have a job, right,

641
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: so toime, you bring Tom Coflin back in, you get

642
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: him with Tikey Barber, you fix that fumble problem. Yeah,

643
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: I'll let that be some body else's is worried next year.

644
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean Daniel Jones obviously the biggest surprise,

645
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: but like you're right, nobody, David. There are cars like

646
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: the one guy that somebody like might have possibly chargers

647
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: really well more than Jones or Dalton. Sure, all right,

648
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna have a new, a new

649
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: drinking game on this show. Every time Marcus size you

650
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: gotta drink because there's been multiple someone someone might die,

651
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't want to I don't want

652
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: to put someone's liver in life in Jeffardy, that's not fair.

653
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, running backs, I mean I feel like Chicken

654
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: and Drake is the runaway winner here. But Ronald Jones,

655
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: who everybody pretty much gave up on, right, I remember

656
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: I asked it last week on the podcast, right, and

657
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the matchup was great? Like, hey, the matchup was good

658
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: against Houston Texans. Would you think about and you and

659
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: Graham like just cut me off and immediately were like no,

660
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: like and I'm not mad, Like I understand, I totally

661
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: understand it. Right, And so then of course Ronald Jones

662
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: goes out and has a really nice game. Yeah, I

663
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: mean it's I'm so mad at this next name on

664
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: your list, it's so do you think about a Rex

665
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: burkhead broke the hearts of many people, not only those

666
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: who didn't start him or pick him up, but those

667
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: who played Sony Michelle for a lot of the season. Yes, yeah,

668
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: Belatrix Trade Martins was back in full effect. Man drink

669
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: Returke though, right, I mean, look the week before you

670
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: understood because it was it was a revenge game against

671
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: the Bengals. This just sort of came out of nowhere, because,

672
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: like especially once once Julian Edelman got hurt and had

673
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: to leave the field for a while, you felt like

674
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: it was going to be all about James White for

675
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: a while, and it wasn't. It was rets Burkend. By

676
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: the way, I'm gonna have our researchers do this and

677
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: I'll write a column about it in the off season.

678
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: Revenge game points versus that players average points per game

679
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: in non revenge game. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the greatest revenge

680
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: game layer in the history of fantasy football. I haven't

681
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: calculated what the new total is, but last week, going

682
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: into the game on Sunday on his twenty nineteen revenge

683
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: to where he had averaged just a shade under eight

684
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: teen fantasy points per game. Now it's gonna be Jared

685
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: Cook had a bananas game revenge game against the Titans.

686
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't even remember that's where he

687
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: started his career, so he had a big game too.

688
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Prador had a good game. I

689
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: have to I have to look to look at that.

690
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: By the way, Broncos defense thanks for nothing. Yeah, yeah,

691
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: they really couldn't do much. I was just going to

692
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: say that I thought that that was a shoeing with

693
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: did too. Yeah here so so funny, quick story of

694
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: real funny. Jerry Cantrell is in the finals of the

695
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: Allison Chains League, right um, and you know he comes

696
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: to me for counsel and I said, my top streaming

697
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: defenses this week are the Broncos and the Colts. And

698
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen, who is not even in the playoffs, didn't

699
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: even make the playoffs for some reason or another, picked

700
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: up the Broncos. And so Jerry had never thrown a

701
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: rule out there that said that you can't do that,

702
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: so he couldn't do anything about it. So he says,

703
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: what do I do? I pick up the Colts. He's

704
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna He's gonna win. Look at that. So Merry Christmas,

705
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Hill, thank you? Yeah, alright, oh wait, he didn't

706
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: have a good Now I'm done back on my revenge game,

707
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: all right. So the surprise wide receivers for the week,

708
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd had a nice day. I had him, I

709
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: had him and started him and Sad and that was

710
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: one of the ones that that I got right. That

711
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: was a good matchup. Stevens sim didn't have him, who

712
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: has I think touchdowns and back to back game and

713
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: had the end of the season Sharp, Like you always

714
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: forget about Taj Sharp and then out of know where

715
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: he appears, Like I think I tweeted that back in

716
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: October and then I forgot about him again and he

717
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on Sunday. I mean, Hunter Renfro first

718
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: game back had been hurt, comes back, has a huge

719
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: game for the Raiders, stop coming. Nobody said that he Honestly,

720
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: some of the biggest games of the week went to

721
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: guys that are on the waiver wire. Yeah, their mom

722
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: is don't even known them, Okay in fantasy absolutely don't.

723
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: Um Tyler, I don't know Tyler Boyd, So yeah, I

724
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: know's another one. Like that's why, That's why I'm like saying,

725
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: like I don't, I don't. I don't advocate this game

726
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: at all. I don't advocate man drinking game, the Marcus

727
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: Grant side game. You literally will be hungover before noon, Like,

728
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: don't don't get the egg not ready? Um what I mean,

729
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: who's the biggest of that group? Sharp? Because nobody, nobody

730
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: knew him. A lot of people were leaning on A J.

731
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: Brown who didn't have the best game in the world.

732
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: Have one long run for a touchdown. I mean, I'm

733
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: not surprised to Boyd. I like Boyd. I mean I

734
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna have that bigger game, but

735
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: I liked him. But I mean it's a coin toss.

736
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, Rent for coming off the injury playing

737
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: against the Chargers in it. I guess it was a

738
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: home game for the Raiders, but just because I mean,

739
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: the Saints aren't aren't as good on the road. But

740
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: Steven Simms, I mean no, I mean Steven Simms. That

741
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: sounds like a guy who sells cars, like you know,

742
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: and exactly right. Yeah, I mean we thought maybe Terry

743
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: McLaurin could We thought maybe Terry mclauren could have a

744
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: nice day. It was decent. That was on purpose, like

745
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: that was definitely that was McCloy wasn't terrible though, Yeah, man, um,

746
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He wasn't terrible, all right. So I picked

747
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: a handful of guys with sort of like what now

748
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: is right, either because they started the season, they started

749
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: the end of the season well or into the season poorly.

750
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: By chance, they all happened to be running backs, just

751
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: because we're always trying to figure out running backs. So

752
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley was kind of me for a long

753
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: part of the year, at least for the draft price

754
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: you spent on him, right, I mean, this is the

755
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: guy who was the number one overall pick on a

756
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, certainly top two or three in just

757
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: about every league. Really didn't give you that level of

758
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: production until the last two weeks weeks fifteen and sixteen. Now,

759
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: if you made it to the playoffs with se Kwon,

760
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: you probably won because I mean he went bananas and

761
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: gave you what forty points in this past week. I

762
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: assume he's still a top three pick, he's top two.

763
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be him and McCaffrey. McAffrey go one, Kwan

764
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 1: is going to go to Yeah, who's gonna go ahead

765
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: of him? Well? Maybe Zeke. Yeah. I know we talked

766
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: about Dalvin Cook, but just just just his stab through

767
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: sixteen games makes it hard to do that. And I

768
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: know saying that because Kuon INJUREDU you had the high ankle,

769
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: but I mean that was kind of a freaking so yeah,

770
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: so I felt I felt like this was an easy one. Right,

771
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: He's still he's still a top three pick. So even

772
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: if you're frustrated. I understand Tom. By the seventh round,

773
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: you think Camara is gonna be a first round pick,

774
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: will be? He will be. I think people are frustrated,

775
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: like and I put this out on Twitter and I

776
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of I'm not touching him before the

777
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: third round. I'm waiting toil the fifth round. And I

778
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: feel like that's just the hurt talking, Like that's you know,

779
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: that's the pain and the hurt you have that's talking

780
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: right now. I think by the time we get to August,

781
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: people be like, all right, I can see him as

782
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: a late first round pick. I get it. So um,

783
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: he will first round pick. So Todd Gurley's future. After

784
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: the Rams lost to the Niners on Saturday, Mike Silver

785
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: had a piece for NFL dot Com where he talked

786
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: to Sean McVeigh and she's kind of got his feelings

787
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: on the Rams season because they are not going to

788
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, and part of it was about

789
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: some major changes that could be coming for the Rams

790
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: next season. One of them that he mentioned was a

791
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: Silver mentioned was that Wade Phillips might not be there

792
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: as a defensive corporator. The other is that the Rams

793
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: could try to find a way to get out from

794
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: underneath Todd Gurley and his contract. Why do I feel

795
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: like we always say that when a big name running

796
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: back signs a big contract one point or another, maybe

797
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: it's later in that season or the following season, teams

798
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: are trying to get out of it. Well, especially if

799
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: that guy is not performing well well well, and I

800
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: know it's not. Out of his last six games, he

801
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: was pretty damn good and no but one Baltimore didn't

802
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 1: do any against Baltimore. But I mean from the fantasy perspective.

803
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective, I mean, he had a touchdown

804
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: in four straight games, at least one touchdown on four

805
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: straight well, and some of it's not on him, right,

806
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: A lot of it was his usage that they didn't

807
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: give him the ball for long stretches, especially in the

808
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: first half of the season. Back half of the year

809
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: when he was getting his normal touches, at least what

810
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 1: we're considering normal. He looks sort of like the Tudd

811
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Gurley when mcveigh's strategy failed miserably because while number one

812
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: of the Ramps didn't make the playoffs, but you know

813
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: number two, Yeah, do you think there's maybe some bad

814
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: blood now you know between I mean, I mean, I

815
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: guess Girly's getting paid, so maybe he doesn't even care.

816
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: But I mayn't care. I think he wants the ball

817
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: and he wants to try to win, so who knows

818
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with him? So but I'm starting to

819
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: say where Look, Tudd Gurley is on the open market,

820
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: lots of teams are going to write. Maybe not maybe

821
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: not a dude either, you know, maybe not at the

822
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: same asking prize, but a lot of teams are gonna

823
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: want Todd Gurley if he lands in the right spot.

824
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: Like I know you've talked about David Johnson and like,

825
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: let's let's love David Johnson and right, because as you mention,

826
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: he's probably gone in Arizona at this point. If you

827
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: win another guy with the contract, you know, yeah, like

828
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: if he goes to a Tampa, right, either one of

829
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: these guys stay with the Bucks next year? Are they

830
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: first round picks? No? But at top top three picks

831
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: a top three rounds? Excuse me, without question, Johnson knows

832
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: the offense. His best seasons came under Bruce Arians in Arizona.

833
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: I get it. He's an older guy now than he

834
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: was when when arians was in Arizona. But he hasn't

835
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: had a whole lote got to work in the last

836
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: couple of years. Man, So maybe he gives you one

837
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: year where he's you know where, he's pretty solid. David

838
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Johnson Gurley, I mean who who knows? Who knows? I mean,

839
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of where he could go, like

840
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: like Todd Gurley in say Houston, that'd be fun. What

841
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: about Melvin Gordon? I mean that Evan Gordon is another

842
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: one where, like you know here, where he's gonna end

843
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: up ei there. I mean, I don't think he's gonna

844
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: be with the Chargers. It's gonna be the 're not

845
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna be the charge. Auston Neckler could end up in

846
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick, right Alsa Neckler proved that he

847
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: can be that guy. So I don't see why their

848
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: Chargers would keep Melvin Gordon around. Yeah, Um, which is

849
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, right, So if you know David Johnson

850
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: is a free agent, Melvin Gordon is a free agent.

851
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: If Todd Gurley somehow and if he in the Rams

852
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: somehow part ways, um, that's some big potential names like

853
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: that are transferring spots and really shaking up fantasy dress. Yeah,

854
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: no question about that. It's gonna be very interesting to

855
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: see what happens because it's gonna be a a lot of change.

856
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: You know now in this day and age in the

857
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: National Football League wasn't always like that where there were

858
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: so many players changing teams. But the off season is

859
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: going to be very interesting in fantasy football. So, speaking

860
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: of David Johnson leaving Arizona, that potentially opens the door

861
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: for Kenyan Drake to come in there and be a

862
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: workhorse back. I know that the folks in Arizona have

863
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: said they'd like to keep him around and have him

864
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: back next year, and with what he did down the stretch,

865
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't see why they wouldn't make

866
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: a play to to hold on to him, which begs

867
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: the question, how high are we reaching for Kidan Drake

868
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: next year? Third round? Third round? That's what that's my

869
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: initial reaction is third round something like that. Yep, third round.

870
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you know, he's obviously proven to

871
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: be a good fit in Kingsbury's offense. They're gonna run

872
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: a lot of plays because of the offense in the

873
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: in that philosophy. So if he's a featured back, and

874
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: we've seen Kenyan Drake do this in the past. There

875
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: was there was it was a couple of years ago.

876
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: He's played the Dolphins. The Dolphins like a lot, a lot.

877
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: All the runnings got hurt and Drake ended up being

878
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: the guy. And he was great second half of the year.

879
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he was averaging like twenty touches of game.

880
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: He was bananas good. He was a league winner, and

881
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: then you know, last year fell off. I don't know

882
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: why they didn't give him the ball more it was

883
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: they gave it the Frank core. But he's proven in

884
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: the past that he can do it. I don't know

885
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: if you can do it for sixteen games. Well, but

886
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: he's he's got to be a third round pick. I

887
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like last year, for this past season,

888
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people were on Kenyan Drake. It wanted

889
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: to be excited about him. It was just a situation

890
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: of usage. Yeah, you just felt like they were never

891
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna give him the ball, right like a couple of

892
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: years ago, when it looked like he was gonna be

893
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: the guy, Frank Goren comes in here and starts getting

894
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: all these carries. Then this past offseason, you think Okay, well,

895
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: maybe this is the year for Kenyan Drake to be

896
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: the guy. And you heard all this hype about Kalin

897
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: Blage and you know, the Dolphins just kept trying to

898
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: make fetch happen with Blage like all season long, and

899
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: that never really worked out. So maybe it was just

900
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: about okay. So here here's I almost sighed, but I

901
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: held myself back because I just wanted to. I want

902
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: to protect people. Wait for it. Um. On the one hand,

903
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: I want to see Kenyan Drake be a workhorse and

904
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: get like a whole lot of carries and just be

905
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: the guy. Right. On the other hand, I flashed back

906
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: to what we said about Lamar Miller for all those years,

907
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: where it was like I wanted free Lamar Miller. I

908
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: want him to go somewhere where he's gonna get a

909
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: whole bunch of carries and he could be a workhorse

910
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: back and he'll be awesome. And then he with to

911
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: Houston and they gave him all those carries and he

912
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: was just man, he was like RB two. So I

913
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: I do I do have that. I have that flashback, uh,

914
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: and I have a little bit of that trauma with

915
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: with Kenyan Drake potentially being we're we're experiencing a lot

916
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: of trauma on the show today. That's what about recency bias,

917
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: though Kenyan Drake's I feel like if if it continues

918
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit longer, people might reach higher than

919
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: the third round. Oh, I think I can see a

920
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: scenario where we talk ourselves into Kenyan Drake in the

921
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: second round, right, Like all it's gonna take is a

922
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 1: couple of hype pieces in the off season where somebody

923
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: writes a hype piece about it and the fantasy community

924
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: kind of jumps on board, and like suddenly he started

925
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: good in Mott drafts and suddenly kids called sitting there

926
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: in the second round, it's called the Cordarryl Patterson effects,

927
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: where he shows something and then everyone in the industry

928
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: is all over him. Hopefully he doesn't finish like Cordarrel

929
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: Patterson did. I remember Corderoll Patterson was like one of

930
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: my favorite sleep I think everyone liked him. He was

931
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: doing commercials for NFL Fantasy and then he went down

932
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: the toilet and nobody heard from was also because the

933
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: big thing that helped Cordarol Patterson or hurt him, as

934
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: the case maybe, was North Turner saying, oh yeah, we've

935
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: got like ten plays in the playbook for him already,

936
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: and everybody, myself included, was like, oh, well, I'm in.

937
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 1: And then I remember that we couldn't run an remember

938
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: that first week they ran an end around to him

939
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: or like a jet sweep or something like that. His

940
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: first game was good. First game he had the jet

941
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: sweep that he ran for like a fruity yard touchdown,

942
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: and everybody on Fantasy Twitter, we all took a collective

943
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: victory lap because we're like, this is it, It's happening.

944
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: And I think that was the last we heard of

945
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: codro Path. I will say this though, I will say

946
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: this um as an industry and amongst us here, I

947
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: think we did a damn good job with the preseason predictions.

948
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: I think so like we were all in on Godwin, right,

949
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean I was all in on Kyler and Lamarr.

950
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: We I think we got those right there. There was

951
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: a lot of guys I feel like we you know what, hey,

952
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: pat on the back regular seasons harder. Yeah, you can

953
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 1: see it. You can see it, like you could tell,

954
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: like you know, watching tape watch and players seeing what

955
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: they do. You can tell when a guy is ready

956
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: to bust out. You could tell yeah and uh, but

957
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: then you get into the matchups every week and it's

958
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: defense is going to show up. All the bucks are good? Now,

959
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: Like what the hell is going on? All that kind

960
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. By the way, quickly note uh injury note.

961
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz apparently has a rib injury. He took a

962
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: shot in that he is going to have tests today.

963
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: I know he came back and played, but the several

964
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: Eagles beat writers saying that he is going to have

965
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: some tests today. So I'll tell you one thing. Something

966
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: they are going to get. I don't know who they're

967
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna play in the first round. Maybe he's gonna Seattle

968
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: for your for your sake, I hope it is, because

969
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: that means the Niners get the number one seed. They're

970
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: not gonna play because the Cowboys are going to get

971
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So the Eagles are gonna be at home.

972
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: So I don't really know what you're talking about. I

973
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking It really could happen, It

974
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: really could. It's not gonna happen. But the Redskins, the

975
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: team is done, they've quit. It's done. What's gonna happen.

976
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: Is that? So let me look at the schedule. I'm

977
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: curious what the what the times for the games are

978
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: that the week, Like I wonder are the Are the

979
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Eagles playing at the same time? I can

980
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: look right now, I'm looking at I'm looking it up

981
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: right now. The Cowboys are a four game and the

982
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: Eagles are a orre the Eagles at they are a

983
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: four game. It's NFC East versus NFC East. They're playing

984
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: the Giant. I want to be watching red Zone to

985
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: watch both of them just vomit on their shoes at

986
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: the same time, right, just a vomit on because what

987
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: if they both lose? The Cowboys go to the playoffs? Right? No,

988
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: isn't that? I have no idea what the tiebreakers are? Well,

989
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: and we tied? We tired sitting in that spot right

990
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: now the Eagles have right now, the Eagles are the

991
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: division winners. Uh going near the week? Okay, so both

992
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: lose state the Eagles have to lose, the Cowboys have

993
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: to win. Okay that I mean, that's basically I just

994
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: feel like that. I don't know, I'm not ready for it.

995
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: I said, I'm a bad fan. Listen, and I don't

996
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: want to hear the crap about being a freaking front runner.

997
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been the most frustrating freaking franchise last

998
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Maybe not in all sports, but pretty

999
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: damn close. Of the teams that we're expected to do something.

1000
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: I don't give me Browns fans. You guys know you've

1001
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: been awful for three decades. Just right, That's what I'm saying. Like,

1002
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: of the of the teams that like, hey, this team

1003
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: has got a lot of talent they subjected to do something,

1004
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been one of the most freaking frustrating

1005
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: because it's like, especially I can't remember, I was talking

1006
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: to Buddy my last night. When the Cowboys were one

1007
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: in fifteen and three and thirteen, I knew they sucked

1008
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: so like I didn't care. I knew they were bad.

1009
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: I knew they were building something, but I knew they

1010
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: were bad. This year they were good. That teller was there,

1011
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: Just the reminder that your favorite team doesn't love you back. No,

1012
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: it does not, especially now. Man, she's Luise all right.

1013
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: So for you nut jobs that are playing weeks seventeen,

1014
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: here's a few waiver wire names. Um keeping eyel Mark

1015
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: Ingram who had a calf injury yesterday. I know he's

1016
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: getting tests. Uh so we'll see if he's available. And

1017
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: even if he's not, I wouldn't be surprised if the

1018
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: Ravens now that they have the number one seed locked up,

1019
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: if maybe they just hold Marking Gram back. This is

1020
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: why I hate the week seventeen is absolutely why why

1021
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: why why play Lamar Jackson this week? Like even a

1022
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: little bit? Why you have Lamar Jackson? You've you've had

1023
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: a great quarterback now arbitrarily in your biggest game, Like

1024
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: he may not be like r G three might be

1025
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: a top ten play this week because Lamar Jackson might sit.

1026
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: But keep and eye mark Ingram so if he doesn't go,

1027
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: Justice Hill and or Gus Edwards our names to keep eye,

1028
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, because they're going to get a

1029
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: lot of run Travis Homer and or and or unnamed

1030
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks running back, whether it is as we mentioned, Robert

1031
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: Turban or C. J. Anderson or just maybe Marshawn Lynch,

1032
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: just maybe Marshawn Lynch, which, by the way, the pole

1033
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: right now, um with just about votes, wait, let me

1034
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: refresh this just so I can be as accurate as

1035
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: possible here. But a lot of you have weighed in

1036
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: on this Marshawn Lynch poll that I put up here

1037
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter dot com. So vot sixty point eight percent

1038
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: of you say nah, Bra, but thirty if you say

1039
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: you're about that action boss. So you know, by the way,

1040
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't go out and pick up our G three.

1041
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: I was kidding. I love I loved um. I mean

1042
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: I put Steven Sims on this list because you know,

1043
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 1: why not. He's played a couple of nice games late

1044
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: in the season. Very curious to see whether or not

1045
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be Dwayne Haskins or case Keenum that

1046
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: gets to start next week. But we didn't even talk

1047
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: about the rotating door at quarterback for the Steelers. I

1048
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: know that thing, honestly, I just started. He's stunk, so

1049
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: they went to Mason Rudolf. He got hurt that contes

1050
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: came back. I really want to see the Titans get

1051
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. The Steelers don't deserve to be there.

1052
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: They're not that good. They're gonna get crushed. The Titans

1053
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: have a good teams, are fun. Yeah, their defense tan

1054
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: Hill is playing if Derrick Henry Ryan tan Hill is

1055
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: playing an all pro level for basically ever since he's

1056
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: taken over that job. And if they get Derrick Henry

1057
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: back with a J. Brown, like, I mean like they

1058
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: they've they've got a I like that team. They could

1059
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: throw some some stuff into the formula. All they could handle.

1060
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: I mean they were up, they were up what seventeen nothing?

1061
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: Fourteen nothing in that game. I mean like that, they

1062
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: gave the Saints all they can handle. And Ryan Taninghill,

1063
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: I feel like this guy is I mean it's he's

1064
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: been a league winner. Like you've been starting him every week.

1065
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: He's been great. He's been better than some of the

1066
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: stud guys as wild. So I really hope the Titans

1067
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: getting in the playoffs. I feel like, you know, they

1068
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: really deserve it the way that they've been playing. And

1069
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm not I'm not a hunter percent. Sure

1070
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: they may have a win and in scenario they're playing

1071
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: at Houston UM this week, but I have to look

1072
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: at that, but I feel like they have they have

1073
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: uh an advantage over the Steelers in some capacity, and

1074
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers how to play the Ravens. I don't know

1075
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: if they're gonna have the Ravens or the second team

1076
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens, especially John Harball. He is petty enough to

1077
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: play his starters just to keep the Steelers out. Yeah,

1078
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: like that rivalry and John Harball, they're just petty enough

1079
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: to do that. Titans clinched the a f C wild

1080
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: card with a win or with spurg gloss, and there

1081
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: go the Titans. Basically they hold the keys, which, by

1082
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: the way, the Raiders still have an outside shot. That's crazy,

1083
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: and it's like, here's the Raiders path to getting in

1084
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Is not insane? Um? Like they have to

1085
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: win obviously against the Broncos, which you know, difficult, but

1086
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: not impossible. That's in Denver. Okay, um, let me go

1087
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: through and find it. So the Raiders have to win

1088
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: at Denver. The Titans lose to the Texans, again not impossible,

1089
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: Steelers lose to the Ravens, certainly possible. Colts beat the Jaguars. Yeah, Like,

1090
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: it's not insane, it's not impossible to the Raiders can

1091
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: somehow sneak into the playoff. You know what, tell you

1092
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: look at that some of you need a lot of

1093
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: help that are on the outside looking in. Who could

1094
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: potentially did the NFL want to have more playoff teams

1095
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: really really no, I don't know, man, I think we're good.

1096
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you want to add you know,

1097
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: a regular season game or two, okay, but you want

1098
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: to add more teams to the playoffs, you want to

1099
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 1: water it down even more. I mean at this point

1100
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: that first weekend of the playoff games, just I mean,

1101
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: I do a lot of I do a lot of

1102
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: Like usually the a f C South involved playoff game

1103
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: is where I go run errands. Yeah right, exactly like

1104
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: the early game on a Saturday. It's like, you know what,

1105
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and get some groceries, maybe returning to

1106
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: Christmas presents that I need to exchange, that sort of thing.

1107
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: That's that's what even when the Raiders still have a

1108
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: shot the Steelers and heck, Mike Tomlin, great job this

1109
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: year because all the injuries. I mean, but like that's

1110
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: not a playoff team. By the way, real quick, before

1111
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: we get out of here, Uh is Ryan Sannehill a

1112
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: QB one next year? Is he playing for the Titans

1113
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: next year? I assume he will be. I assume that.

1114
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: I assume. I don't know contractually what his situation is,

1115
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: but I feel like I've seen some reports that that

1116
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: Titans might franchise him. I would think so. I don't

1117
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: think they're gonna spend a ton of money to keep him,

1118
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: but I think they want to so so, like I'm

1119
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: on the show today, I'm doing like my top five

1120
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks I think I have. It's like Lamar Mahomes. Russell's

1121
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: in there, Watson's in there, and like Josh Allen's in there.

1122
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: Two and then Kyler is going to be in the

1123
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: top in the top ten, Doc's going to be in

1124
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: the top ten. Boy, some of the big name guys

1125
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: that we've had in the top ten for a long time,

1126
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: we're going to drop out, like like Brady, like he

1127
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: was in the top ten the ship, but like Aaron

1128
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers for sure, I don't think he's gonna be a

1129
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. Boy. I mean, like tenn has An

1130
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: understood this? Maybe I mean Breeze will be in the

1131
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: top ten, but maybe I mean, dude, I this is

1132
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 1: where we are. Maybe we'll see there you go. Matt

1133
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: Stafford will be back. That's true, he'll be healthy again.

1134
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: All right, That's it. That was a side by the way.
