WEBVTT - Week 12: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow, everybody, it is Friday.

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what that means. It's time for another edition

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>of the Stardom Cinnam Show. Glad you can be with us.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I am Marcus Grant, joined by Michael Florya, who writes

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the start SID column. You can find it every week

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>at NFL dot com slash start Sit. Also joined by

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Lawan Jones, who does not write these Start SID column

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>but he enjoys eating food and that makes him worthy

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>of being on this show. I don't even know what

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to do with that anymore. Anyway, Florio happened? I mean,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>how are we feeling twelve weeks into the start SID column.

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>We still have the juice, We still have the energy,

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.639
<v Speaker 2>especially in a week with the six teams on a buy.

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 3>This is the time of year where, whether you do

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 3>or not, you gotta find it because these games are

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 3>so important for fantasy players, and especially when we get

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 3>in the fantasy playoffs. Like I take it. I added

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>responsibility there being like if I swing and miss this week,

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna cause people their seasons, Whereas like if I

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 3>swing and missing Week three, who cares as much? You'll

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 3>you'll have time to bounce back. But yeah, so sorry,

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>to get to the point where like I'm really questioning,

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 3>like do I actually have it in me to say

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>sit this big name player. Which is why, especially in

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 3>a week like this, six teams on by little bit

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>less big names in the sitcolumn.

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>It does get a little bit harder to take big

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 2>swings in these columns this time of the year because

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>all these decisions are so much more important cause.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Your DNSI yeah, right, good idea, do it now.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be rough on you know, on Blue Sky

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>where dms are open, you can't you know.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Let yeah, I don't think I've yet to receive a

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.839
<v Speaker 3>single DM on Blue Sky.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>The thing that's good there, I got two. Oh that's

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 2>all you gotta know. Any let's start with the quarterbacks

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>who are starts and sits this week.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 3>I Am not going to be the only person to

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 3>tell you to start Justin Herbert this week, but he's

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>been playing great and has the best matchup a quarterback

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 3>could have or one of so I would get him

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 3>in your lineup. Look, I know Jayden almost called him

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Daydon Daniels Jaden Daniels hasn't been the same as of late,

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 3>but I do think that mini By was big for

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 3>him to kind of help his ribs. Plus, Cowboys struggle

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 3>against the pass and they really struggle against running quarterbacks,

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 3>so he's in play. Bo Nix was on waiver wires

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>in some leagues. He is a must start fantasy quarterback.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I do not understand why people keep overlooking him, but

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 3>get him in your lineup. And I really like John

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Stafford this week. I know the Eagles secondary has been tough,

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>but you got his pass catchers there, it could be

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 3>a high scoring game. And then I got some streamers

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 3>in Tua, Drake May and my boy Tommy Cutlets. If

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 3>you're going a little bit deeper, I have Gino Smith

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 3>as a sit. In the last month, the Cardinals have

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 3>allowed one passing touchdown. Their secondary is being vastly underrated.

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Right now, Sam Darnold I have as a sit because

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 3>the Bears have allowed the fewest passing touchdowns or tied

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 3>for the fewest touchdowns allowed and the fewest fantasy points

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>allowed to quarterbacks. Anthony Richardson to me is one that

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>like I'm playing him over Donald and Caleb Williams in

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a league, but it's very option dependent. I don't love

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 3>it because the lines allow a lot of passing yards

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 3>mostly because teams are in catchup mode, but they are

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 3>tied with the Bears for few was passing touchdowns allowed

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>really tough on the run. And then I have Caleb

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 3>as they sit last week was a step in the

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>right direction, but still sitting around ten fantasy points more

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 3>often than not. U two, we see a higher fantasy ceiling.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 3>There's no way I want to play Caleb Williams, so

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>potentially a game where my season could be on the line.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, look, I think these are all certainly

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>great options. I'm gonna ask you, though, quite about Anthony

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Richardson because last week we saw him sort of come

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>back to life a little bit. Do you believe and

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 2>if you look, if he performs well against Detroit, are

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>we all in back all in on Anthony Richardson?

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 4>I think we have to because honestly, what we saw

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 4>last week was like a really good, good game, Like

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 4>he hit his fantasy ceiling that we thought he can hit,

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, all summer long. So I'll be buying in

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 4>if he's going to be running the ball more utilizing

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 4>his weapons, and he actually has a great matchup in

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 4>the slot with Josh Downs against his Detroit Lions defense

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 4>where they're lownes and production there as well. If he's

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 4>downs is going to be his number one target and

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 4>he hit him downfield, I think we could see some

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 4>really big plays from this Colt offense.

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, So we're hopefully, we're hoping that things turn

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>out well for Anthony Richardson. We loved him, it was

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>a struggle. Hopefully he's starting to bounce back a little bit.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the running backs. Who's up and who's

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>down this week?

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I think both Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are in play

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>because of the matchup against the Panthers, who are the

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 3>best matchup for a running back, and the Chiefs should

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>probably be able to run all over them. I have

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 3>both Tampa Bay Bucks in this one. Rashad White's been

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 3>playing really well as of late, so is Bucky Irving.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 3>And it is a good favorable matchup against the New

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 3>York Giants. And look, if there's a one two punch

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>outside of Detroit that has been great for fantasy, it

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 3>is the Commanders. With Brian Robinson Junior and Austin Eckler

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 3>both eating their their workload is distributed in a way

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 3>we could figure out and it is a great matchup

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.119
<v Speaker 3>against the Cowboys. Tyrone Tracy Junior is a strong start

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 3>for me as well against the Bucks, and then Rico

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Dawdle because the Commanders have allowed the most rushing yards

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 3>and highest rate of explosive runs two running backs this season.

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 3>My sits Troupa Hubbard Is and Jonathan Brooks. Obviously if

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying sit Hubbard, but it's partially because Brooks is back,

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 3>but it's way more because the Kansas City Chiefs are

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the toughest matchup for a running back. They've allowed by

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 3>far the fewest rushing yards and fantasy points. I'm trying

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to wash even in a good matchup this week against

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 3>the Raiders, I'm trying to wash my hands of this

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Denver backfield. If you have to start one, it is

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Javonte Williams, but I do not love it. And then

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Raiders running backs Alexander Madison Zamir White both up in

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>the air that would leave Abdullah in play potentially, But

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>don't love the matchup as much against the Broncos, and

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 3>more than that, I really don't love their offense, so

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>to me, Raiders running backs are left for the desperate

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 3>this week.

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man. I mean, look, earlier this week, Adam Rank

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 2>was musing about whether or not he might start a

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>mirror Abdullah this week. Like that tells you everything you

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 2>need to know about the Raiders running back situation.

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 4>What year is it? Right?

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 2>What you know? Obviously we've been out on Samir White

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 2>for a long time now, and like nobody is really

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 2>brave enough to actually put forth Alexander. Like there's been

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>many times this year where I'm like, man, the Raiders

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>have a really good matchup, but I'm like, I can't

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>rightfully try to talk at Alexander. Notice it, I just can't,

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>right And now we got a mirror Abdula in the mix,

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Like just do not want That's all I gotta say

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>about that. But I do want to ask you about

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs backs. I think we talked about this earlier

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>in the week, but you know, Pacheco's coming back, Kareem

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Hunt's been very good. What do you expect from this

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 2>backfield going forward?

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I expect, you know, Kareem Hunt going back to his

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 4>one two punch that he's had in previous years with

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 4>the Browns, where he's been utilized more in the passing

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 4>game and in the goal line area, and think Isaiah

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 4>to Pacheco will take more of the early down, you know,

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 4>the first and second down, runs in between the tackles

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 4>and get his much arge as he can get. But

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 4>it's going to become, you know, where all the attention

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 4>will be on the red zone, the goal line. The

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 4>routes ran like this is what's going to be more

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 4>important because both of these guys can execute these at

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 4>a high level, and I think, you know, with the

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>matchup being in their favor, I wouldn't be surprised both

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.559
<v Speaker 4>of them put up both, you know, double digit points

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 4>this week.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>That's wild because so far they haven't really used stream

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Hunt a ton in the passing game, which I think

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>is sort of strange because that's what he did so

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>well the first time around in Kansas City and in Cleveland.

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>It was a couple of weeks ago against the Broncos

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>that we finally saw him kind of get involved in

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>that respect. So maybe he does get back to that

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit in the weeks. It's when were the

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>wide receivers foroyo? Who's your starts and sins?

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Malik neighbors mostly to tell people it's okay with Tommy Cutletz.

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of people were asking about that

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 3>he didn't throw deep a ton last year, but when

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 3>he did he was more effective than Daniel Jones has

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 3>been this season. Juwan Jennings has reached must start status.

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 3>I would say again, even in a tough match the Packers,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 3>what are you gonna do?

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Sam?

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>He leads to the forty nine ers in every category

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 3>every week, puts up a whole bunch of yards. I

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>feel the same way about JSN. I know this is

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 3>a tough Cardinals secondary that's been playing really well. I

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 3>don't care. When he's playing as well as he's been playing,

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't see how you can get away. I think

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 3>both Lad McConkie and Quinton Johnston are starts this week.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I prefer Lad of the two, but look, the Ravens

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 3>struggled in every aspect against receivers, even on deep ball,

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>so that's good for Quinton Johnston. And then I have

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Dj Moore as they start this week, good matchup against

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>the Vikings, and I think Roma Doonsay is a sleeper

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 3>because he had ten targets last week and in my sis,

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Waddle look eventually he might snap out of this

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 3>but until he does single digit fantasy points every week

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 3>since Week two on, I don't know how you start him.

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Jacoby Myers has been playing better. I think he's underrated,

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 3>but he's been playing more out wide without Devonte Adams.

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>That's Patrick Sirtan territory, and I don't like starting wide

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 3>receivers against Patrick cir Tan. Michael Junior single digit fantasy

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 3>points in every game with Anthony Richardson this year just

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 3>unusable right now. And then speaking of unusable, Deontay Johnson

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 3>isn't usable right now by the Ravens, so there's no

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>way he is usable by fantasy managers.

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah. I want to ask you about this, Lakwan,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>because there are three names on the sit side that

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>have been just major disappointments. Who has been maybe the

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>biggest bust between Wattle Pittman and Deontay Johnson this year.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the obvious answer has to be wattle Man,

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 4>but there's a lot going on with two where he

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 4>was out for some time and they can't get back

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 4>on the same page. But I would say Michael Bittman Man.

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 4>He's become basically like the third option of that offense,

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 4>and it's kind of disappointing where you know, the talent,

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 4>we've seen it displayed at a high level before, where

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 4>he's shown flashes that he could be the cult to

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 4>wide receiver one. But it's like, I don't know what's

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 4>going on with this new regime. I don't know what's

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 4>going on with the new quarterback that he's probably trying

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 4>to get chemistry with but cannot. But I think you

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 4>know more so, Anthony Richson's attention is on Josh downs

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 4>or a slot or a security blanket where he can

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 4>make plays out there to catch and Alex Pearce downfield

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 4>to make the big plays, where Michael Pittman he's just

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 4>a guy running cardio out there.

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>It's weird because like Richardson and Will Levis in some

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>ways are similar in that it's either gonna be short,

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be like a checkdown, or it's gonna be

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 2>a yolo ball, and like, yeah, the intermediate part of

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the field is lava and so like that that stinks

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 2>for a guy like Michael Pittman because that's where he

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>sort of lives and he struggles to get targets consistently,

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and when he does, they're not always quality targets, so

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 2>that I think has been a big frustration for a

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of fantasy managers. Finally, Florio, who are your tight

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>ends that you like and don't like this week?

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Kateawton remains a must start, even though when you look

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 3>at your fantasy app it's gonna be like an all

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 3>read that the Giants are a tough matchup. It doesn't

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 3>matter you play him. TJ. Hockinson, I think is very

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 3>much so in play. The upside is just too high

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 3>to get away from. With six teams on buy. Spoke

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot yesterday about Hunter Henry and Will Disley. They

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 3>are both to me, I think a little bit higher

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 3>than streaming options this week. Definitely he starts and Lakwan's

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 3>boy hoping he stays hot. John Newsmith, we want to

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 3>see Lakwan in blonde and John Newsmith having a big

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 3>week this week against the Patriots will help that out.

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 3>And then if you're diving deeper to Tavian Sanders, Deo

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.839
<v Speaker 3>Johnson some streamers I like, I've tuck a Kraft as

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 3>a sit this week. He had one target and no

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 3>fantasy points last week, averaging less than four targets per

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 3>game in his last five games, so very boomer Bus,

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 3>big play, reliant, touchdown reliant Pat Fryarmouth. Just not getting

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 3>any volume at all with Russell Wilson under twenty yards

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 3>in three straight games with him. If you're playing him,

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 3>you're hoping for a touchdown. Me and Lakwan disagree on

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 3>this one a little bit. He spoke up Cole Comet

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 3>on the show yesterday. I just I just haven't seen

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 3>it enough out of him for me to want to

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 3>trust him in fantasy. I feel the same way about

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Dalton Schultz against the Titans. And then I had Jake

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Ferguson written up, but he got concussed on Monday night.

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 3>So I had a pivot, and so I picked Kolbe Parkinson, Like,

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 3>don't go chasing points from last week. That's just never

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 3>a good idea. Unless it's Taysom Hill, then maybe it's

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 3>worth it.

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not even worth it then, because everybody's gonna

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>chase the tast some hill. People gonna chase tat some

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>hill points is gonna get you like six this week.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be sad.

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 4>That's his toxic behavior. That's what he does to fantasy managers.

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 4>That's why I don't like him.

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.719
<v Speaker 2>That's a one hundred percent as one hundred percent the

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Taysom Hill toxic trait without a doubt. So but I

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.719
<v Speaker 2>really know this. It's funny because the streamers you have

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Orgitavian Sanders and Theo Johnson are guys that I have

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 2>written up this week as potential sleepers. You know, I

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I think for me it is sort of

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 2>reaching a little bit in a week where it was

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>tough to find any sleepers. Those are guys that I

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>really that I really put in there just sort of

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>hoping things kind of work out. Look, and he must

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>start the rest of the year. Even with Mike Evans

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>coming back, He's still a must start, right Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 2>most definitely.

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, he's out there. He's an athletic tight

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 4>end that's finding a new way to get separation and

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 4>get open, and he's playing to Bacon midfield strengths. And

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 4>you get Mike Evans back in the fold, he kind

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 4>of falls to that road with Chris Godwin and his

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 4>target share. So I think Kate adum Man these last

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 4>two seasons, he's really shown up to be a valuable

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 4>target for Baker Mayfield, and I think that continues for

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the season to trust him.

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Also, have you start to pick out a shade of

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>blonde that you'd like to die there when John U.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Smith becomes a tough.

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 4>This is crezzing. The dude is tight en eight right now,

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 4>fifteen points away from Kate Oden at that five spot.

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 4>And I asked my wife about it, and she said,

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 4>absolutely not. Hopefully Johnny kind of chills out he finishes

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 4>the top six, so I don't have to go with

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 4>the bet. But yeah, man, it's looking real scary over here.

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're gonna have to work on this missus real

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>deal fantasy and you know, see if if she will

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 2>allow this to happen. I was gonna text you that

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they're safe, and then I looked at and

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>realized that he's like fifteen points out of the top

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>five spot right now.

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I said that I set

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:53.679
<v Speaker 4>myself up for that.

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 3>He is less than a point away from being tightened

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 3>six right now, less than a point or yeah, like

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>you are in real danger right now.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I'm happy I made a good call,

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 4>you know for a deep, deep cut sleeper, or like

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like terrified, like I should not ever, I.

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Think the good thing for you is the top five

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>or like it's Bowers Kittle, Kelsey McBride, and it's probably

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 3>gonna be really hard for him to surpass one of

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>them unless they get hurt. But like that's possible.

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 4>It's very possible, man, Like, come on, if you look

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 4>at the Dolphin schedule, I mean, look, I think at

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 4>least two games out of the next four he could

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 4>put up big points. He got New England Packers, Jets, Texans.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 4>These are basically, you know, defenses that seem tough, but

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 4>they're not focused on the tight end. And that's how

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 4>Johnno becomes very sneaky.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, and honestly, none of this happens if Jalen Wattle

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 2>isn't underperforming or Tyreek hilperforming right like he's in the pod,

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>he listens. If those guys were performing the way we

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 2>thought they would, like you would be nowhere near your day.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>We'd be like, man, that was a ridiculous thing you said,

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 2>and we would just move on from it, like, but

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>now it really is a thing good football. So anyway, yeah,

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>let's something to first to keep an eye on as

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the season goes along. Will Lakwan have to dye his

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>hair blonde because John Newsmith balled out in twenty twenty four.

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned, all right, Assassin, Enough, I'll do it for

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.080
