We're in the middle I 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: guess of week before if you will, and a lot 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: of goings on happening. Definitely some big news we will 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: get to that in just a little bit, but plenty 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: to talk about. We'll have Adam Rank with his weekly 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: starts and sits. We'll also look at some of the 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: guys that you might have snagged off the waiver wide 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: figuring out whether or not you should start them this week. 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: Plus we'll talk about maybe some guys you might want 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: to think about putting on the trading block or not. 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: We'll kind of get through a list of names and 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: figure out whether or not now is the time to 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: start moving some of these folks. But in the meantime, 17 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: before we dive into any of that, let's talk to 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire, as we 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: always do, Murphy, how are you feeling on this Wednesday? 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: And some big news here we'll get to it. I'm 21 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: kind of gonna shake some things up, I would think 22 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: in fantasy leagues. Yeah, most definitely. Um, I'm feeling generally good. 23 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: I've had some good luck on the waiver wire. McKinnon 24 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: was a big one for me. The one thing I've 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: been happy about is and these guys we talked about 26 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: in the show quite a bit, is like someone like 27 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: a Darrell Henderson or Brandon Ao. Um. I drafted those 28 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: guys really thinking that maybe later on in the fantasy 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: season they would you know, appear in my lineups and 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: and you know, contribute for me. That happened a lot 31 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: quicker than I thought with you know, I had a 32 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: big week, and I think Henderson's had a good two 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: weeks stretch there. So these guys have been rotated in 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: earlier on. So my my draft strategy again, these h 35 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: younger guys who may be part of like a committee thing. 36 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I know, the nine has had some wide receiver issues. 37 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: It's paid off, you know, paid dividends quite early, So 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm pleasing myself. Yeah, I think it's just sort of 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: a reminder to everyone that those middle to late round 40 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: picks in drafts aren't always throwaways. I mean, there are 41 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: opportunities to go out and find guys who can be 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: productive and certainly in your case getting Henderson and I 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: because is that it's funny who I was doing a 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: radio hit with the station in San Francisco and they 45 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: were asking about wide receiver waiver wire pickups and I 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: suggested Brandon, I not thinking that in San Francisco is 47 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of very Niner favorite Niner friendly 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: fantasy leagues, and hosted like, oh, yeah, the Brandon I's 49 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: been gone for a long time and all of here, Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: I had a deeper league as well, and it's just 51 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: one of those things where I had I took those guys. 52 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: I just had patience. I thought their time would come 53 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: probably closer like week ten, but it's, you know, what's 54 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: happening a week four, So no complaints from me, absolutely, 55 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: So always something to keep an eye on when you're 56 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: making your draft, to think ahead just how things may 57 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: go when you get toward the middle part of the season. 58 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: All right, it is Wednesday, so that means we get 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: to talk to our pal Adam Rank and bring him 60 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: in and again rocking the spects on a Wednesday, which 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: I always certainly appreciate. How are we feeling what about 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: a quarter of the way through the regular season? Are 63 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: we feeling right now? Yeah? The the thoughts struck me 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: last night where I'm like, oh, after this week's games 65 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: will be a quarter of the way through, and so 66 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm a little encouraged. I'm like, all right, cool, I 67 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: can I think we might be able to do this. 68 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: And also, fin the way, I promised my doctor that 69 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wear my contacts way too much, and 70 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: you know we're on the screens so much, so I'm like, 71 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: you know what, I can't like until noon, I won't 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: put on my contact so you always catch me in 73 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: the morning. So this is why I'm bespectacled. I health kids, 74 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: it is important please take care of your eyes because 75 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: they will take care of you later on. All right, 76 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: let's dive into some of the fantasy news and the 77 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: big one that broke on Tuesday morning, several members of 78 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, three players, five staff men members tested 79 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: positive for COVID nineteen, so both the Titans and the Vikings, 80 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: whom they played last Sunday, are banned from in person 81 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: activities until at least Saturday, and then news hit on 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday morning that the game between the Titans and the Steelers, 83 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: which was scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed to either 84 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday. Ay. We will certainly know more about 85 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: that as the week goes on. So I mean, right, 86 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: this is this is really uncharted territory. I know they 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: have been postponed before for whether it's weather issues we've 88 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: seen for fires, for for floods that sort of thing. 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: But if you have a Titan or if you have 90 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: a Steeler, how are you handling this right now? Well, 91 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: I I believe that you hit the nail right on 92 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: the head. We've seen it. You know. Living in southern California, 93 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: we go through a pretty severe wildfire seasons. And there 94 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: was a time when I had season tickets for the 95 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: Chargers and there was a Monday night game or yeah, 96 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: there was a Sunday game that got moved to Monday 97 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: in Arizona. I believe they played the Dolphins in that one. 98 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: And it might have even been j Junior Sales return 99 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: or something crazy like that. So we're and you know, 100 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: anybody who lives, you know, in in the South who 101 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: has had to deal with hurricanes, you know, we've we've 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: kind of been through this before, so I try to 103 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: The one thing I try to do is is to 104 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: think of the human element first and be like, I 105 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: hope everybody's safe. I hope everybody's being taken care or 106 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: of and I think fantasy wise, this stuff will work 107 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: itself out. And so I mean not. I I always 108 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: feel weird talking about it because I'm like, yeah, you know, like, well, 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: what do I do with Derrick Henry. You're like, listen, 110 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: we want to make sure everybody say. I want to 111 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: stress that as much as possible, But I moved Derrick 112 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: Henry to a flex spot because you know, I don't know, 113 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't feel good about it, and I don't even 114 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: want to make jokes or anything about it. But it's 115 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: just kind of the reality of the situation. Yeah, And 116 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: I feel you add percent on this. And it's always 117 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: sort of the battle we have on whether it's this show, 118 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: whether it's Fantasy Live, anything we do is sort of 119 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: trying to balance, uh, the seriousness of what the issue 120 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: is with the fact that we are, you know, supposed 121 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: to talk about fantasy football. That is our jobs. And 122 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: so again, I I echo what Rank said, and we're 123 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: hoping everybody's okay. We were certainly watching the results not 124 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: only in Tennessee, but in Minnesota as well to see 125 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: what happens with the vikings there. So that's first and 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: foremost I would say, you know, trying to pivot this 127 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: to fantasy. I think some of the best advice I 128 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: have seen is, uh, you know, right mention, putting people 129 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: in your flex spot to give you that flexibility to 130 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: to see what happens. Also, uh, you know, if it 131 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: does get postponed and maybe moved to later in the season, 132 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: treat this sort of as a bye week for any 133 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: Titans or Steamers players. You may have sort of a 134 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: gesture lineups accordingly, and uh, you know, you will know 135 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 1: more when we get more news and try to figure 136 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: it out from there. All right, more just straight football 137 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: type things. Chris Godwin is dealing with a hamstring injury 138 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: and the reports are he could miss multiple games. The 139 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: early reports right now that it seems like he's pretty 140 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: certain to miss this week's game. So we saw a 141 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when Godwin was out with the concussion, 142 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: everybody ran to the waiver wire to pick up Scotty Miller. 143 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: That didn't necessarily work out all that great, But do 144 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: we go back to the Scotty Miller. Well again, if 145 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Godwin is out this week, haven't we been burned by 146 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: this enough? But when you look at the game that 147 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: he had in Denver, and I know that a lot 148 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: of people were clowning us, like thanks for telling us 149 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: to shoot Tom Brady, you realize he threw two one 150 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: yard touchdowns to Mike Evans. Okay, so it's not I 151 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not ready to say that Tom Brady 152 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: is back, and then he's somebody that needs to be 153 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: started every week, and that filters down to guys like 154 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: Scotty Miller. Yeah, there is an opportunity for him to 155 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: go out there and score double digit points. And if 156 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: you're really in a pinch right now, then certainly go 157 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: look at him. But I think that we're now starting 158 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: to see some other receivers really step up in high 159 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: volume passing offenses, justin Jefferson kind of not one because 160 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: it's the Vikings, but I look at a guy like 161 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins and and you just think about how much 162 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals are going to be throwing the football because 163 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's dialing up plays like he's playing Madden, which 164 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: I love, and I would rather have a guy in 165 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: a in a more past friendly offense than anybody who's 166 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: on a team where you're like, gosh, I hope Brady's 167 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: looking his way and they're not giving the ball a 168 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette when they get near the end zone and 169 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, this has been a weird start 170 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: to the season because I know there were so many 171 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: expectations about the Buccaneers. We we saw what their receivers 172 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: did last year with Jamis Winston, and then they bring 173 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: in Tom Brady and they get they go and sign 174 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: Leonard for Nett after he was released by the Jaguars. 175 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: But this offense is not I don't think completely found 176 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: itself through the first three weeks, and I don't love 177 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Brady's matchup against the Chargers this week. I don't think 178 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. I do think you're right that 179 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: the two one yard touchdowns sort of disguised what was 180 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: otherwise just uh so so weak for him. And I 181 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: do wonder whether or not this offense is going to 182 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: be the same without Chris Godwin, because a couple of 183 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: weeks ago it really sort of sputtered when he wasn't there, 184 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not advocating you go back to 185 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: Scotty Miller. I think the guys you mentioned are some 186 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: good options there, whether it's Jefferson or Higgins Brandon I 187 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: U I think is another one that I would take 188 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: a chance on before I went back to the Scotty Miller. Well, 189 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: I just I'm starting to sort of rethink that may 190 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: it will take a little longer for the Buccaneers to 191 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: get clicking than we had anticipated at the start of 192 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: the year. I guess that's fine. I also say, this 193 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: is somebody who traded for Chris Godwin a week ago, 194 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: and now I'm I'm hoping that now you want him back. 195 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: I see, I see where your head's at. It is. 196 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: It is interesting too, and it's and if I can 197 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: speak on this for a moment, and I don't mean 198 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: to derail the show, but it goes back to last 199 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: week when we were talking about and I'm filming a 200 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: pr I filmed the p s A on this, so 201 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: go check that out later. But I can I can 202 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: have a little bit more time to talk about it here. 203 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: It's the whole thing with with Gardner, Minshew and everybody. 204 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: Just you guys are clones. You don't know what you're talking. 205 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, listen, Gardner Minshew was one of the 206 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,239 Speaker 1: hottest quarterbacks in the league two weeks ago, three touchdowns 207 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: in each of his first two games. If you would 208 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: have told me going into that game against the Dolphins, 209 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: who at the time we're had given up the most 210 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: fantasy points to receivers that he was going to throw 211 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: the ball forty two times, you would have been insane, 212 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: insane not to start him insane. And then if Brady, 213 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: and I know it's it's a it's a results business 214 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: or whatever, Brady throws two one yard touchdowns that could 215 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: have easily gone to Leonard for net and then where 216 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: where would the things were told me to bench Brady 217 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: people would have been just The only thing that I 218 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: ask is just have a little bit of perspective. Yes, 219 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: it's like lick, Listen, you're at a blackjack table. You 220 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: got a nineteen. I'm advising you not to hit that nineteen. Now, 221 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: you might draw a two and think that I'm a 222 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: clown for telling you otherwise. I'm just telling you that 223 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: more often than not, it's not gonna work in your favor. 224 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: So and I know it sounds like I'm making an 225 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: excuse for good, but I'm just trying to to let 226 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: people know, like, when you're making these decisions, factor these 227 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: things in because it is kind of important. Yeah, you know. 228 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: I I jokingly always say that you don't ask how, 229 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: they ask how many, but the house sometimes is important. 230 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: And the way we sort of come to these decisions 231 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: is by looking at all the information that we have 232 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: in front of us, and also remember, predicting the future 233 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: is hard. This is still a human endeavor and there's 234 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: going to always be a level of unfreaking predictability and 235 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: behind it. So that's a long way of saying that, yeah, 236 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: we screwed up for Gardner Minshire, but we had our reasons. 237 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: So he's sort of respect that Darryl Henderson is expected 238 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: to get the start on Sunday against the New York Giant. 239 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh says he's sort of earned it by the 240 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: way he's played the last couple of weeks. I know, 241 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: the first few weeks we were sort of trying to 242 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: spend the wheel of rams running backs and figure out 243 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: who it's going to be. Are we starting to feel 244 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: more comfortable that Darrell Henderson is is the man for 245 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: the job back there. Yeah, I mean, and again this 246 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: goes back to the opportunity and is this player performing? 247 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I can't remember if it was Kater 248 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: Michelle who made this point on Twitter. I think I 249 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: saw this this morning that like if this had been 250 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: can Acres, like everybody would have been all about it, 251 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: like yep, Like this guy is amazing. He's he's carrying 252 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: the ball twenty times a game, He's getting a hundred 253 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: and twenty scrimmage yards. There's no doubt that I'm starting 254 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: this player. But just because Darryl Henderson's a second year guy, 255 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's like, Nope, I can't, I can't. I can't have 256 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: any part of this. But I'm gonna I'm gonna ride 257 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the hot hand here and that's I mean. In week ten, 258 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: we might look back on this and be like, remember 259 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: when Darryl Henderson is a thing. But I'm playing for 260 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: the right now. And if I was fortunate enough to 261 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: grab Darryl Henderson off the waiver wire over the last 262 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, or if you're in you know, intuitive 263 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: enough to draft him, then play him without hesitation. He's 264 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: got a great matchup this week against the Giants. So yeah, 265 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't hesitate at all. I think this is great. Yeah, 266 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: I feel I I went to the start of the 267 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: season and Daryl Henderson was the guy I targeted in draft. Now, 268 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I thought 269 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: he was going to do what he's done the last 270 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I thought it was going to still 271 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: be something of a committee situation that obviously you can't 272 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: anticipate injuries. I just thought that, you know, look, Acres 273 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: is gonna get his Henderson is gonna get some Malcolm Brown, 274 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: they get a few carries here and there. I just 275 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: felt like, uh, you know, it's it's sort of like 276 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: kind of like getting a midshelf whiskey, right. Darrell Henderson 277 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: was that guy who was the nice intersection of draft 278 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: price and production. That's sort of why I landed on him. 279 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: So it has sort of worked out the last few weeks. 280 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: I do think at some point later in the season 281 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: it may get a little bit messy, but for now, look, 282 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: Hederson is the guy, the matchup is great, why not 283 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: roll with it? And you're right, if it was cam Akers, 284 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: everybody would be taking a Victree lap and saying we 285 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: knew that the rookie was going to break out. Uh 286 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: who else? I mean, maybe body like November will be 287 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: taking that big three lap. Anyway, of course, Dallas Goddard 288 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: is expected to miss quote at least a couple of 289 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: weeks as he's dealing with an injury. I mean, first off, 290 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: the Eagles just can't seem to keep anyone healthy. The 291 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: wide receivers are struggling. Now, Dallas Goddard is going to 292 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: be out for a couple of weeks. I know Greg 293 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Wards stepped in and played well, and he's certainly I 294 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: think a deeper waiver wire pull for a lot of 295 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: people this week. But I mean, at what point, with 296 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: all these injuries and with Carson went struggling, do we 297 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: just decided to start streaming defenses against the Eagles. Oh 298 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: that's that's not bad. Although I will caution at the 299 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: end of last year, because as you say, this is 300 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: an annual tradition for the Philadelphia Eagles, the battle through 301 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: these injuries, Carson Wentz really started to pick it up, 302 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz was playing really well down the stretch, 303 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: finding guys like Greg Ward and people that you might 304 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: not have heard of. So I'm not completely ready to 305 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: get rid of the Eagles, and I I understand what 306 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: what you're thinking that streaming these defenses, Yeah, because they 307 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: the injury on the offensive line to start the year 308 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: has not really been solved, so perhaps this is a 309 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: sneaky option moving forward. I just also, you know, but 310 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: they're down the list for me. I mean, obviously, the 311 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: key one is everybody knows you're gonna start against the Jets. 312 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: The thing that you need to start doing is looking 313 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: weeks ahead for the Jets opponents and the Cardinals. The 314 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals might not be available on your waiver wire because 315 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: they're at the Cardinals defense is actually playing pretty well 316 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: this season, but they got the Cardinals next week. So today, 317 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: see if the Cardinals are available. And the Cardinals actually 318 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: don't have a terrible matchup this week going up against Carolina, 319 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: but go pick up the Cardinals. And actually, you know what, 320 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: that's a pro tip for anybody who's got the Steelers 321 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: this week too, because I know I do. And that's 322 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: that's what I've been doing, going who's who are the 323 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: Cardinals playing. I'm probably gonna give the Eagles sing a shot. 324 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: I really I started getting into the Washington football team 325 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: as a team that I was I was throwing. But 326 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: but Chase Young now looks like he could miss his 327 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: first NFL game, so that should hurt them because they've 328 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: been getting to the quarterback a lot, so there's some options. 329 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: So it's an interesting thing. I I out of habit. 330 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: I always I always try to advise people, like, hey, 331 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: break your habits. We would talk about this for a 332 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: week about how the Vikings aren't a good defense anymore, 333 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and you've got to get that out of your mind, 334 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: like it's just there's no longer good. It's like when 335 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: a restaurant changes ownership and you're like, we used to 336 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: love that place, Well now it sucks. Don't go there. 337 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: But I'm I'm with that. But I'm I'm guilty of 338 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: that with the Eagles because I'm still like, no, but 339 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: it's still the Eagles, Like no matter. I really need 340 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: to start changing my mind to get a little bit 341 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: smarter about that. Yeah, I mean so, I mean, here's 342 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: the downside is Carson Wentz has two interceptions in each 343 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: game he's played this this season. The problem, at least 344 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: in the short term we're trying to stream against the 345 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: Eagles is that the next three teams they play, you're 346 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: not gonna find their defenses on the waiver wire. They 347 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: have San Francisco this week, it's Pittsburgh next week, it's 348 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore the week after that. You're not gonna find any 349 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: of those defenses on any waiver wire. Why was this 350 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: a question? Then? I don't know. I was thinking, you know, 351 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: and sometimes you get a little loopy you ask the 352 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: question and you're like, oh, maybe that wasn't the great 353 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: question to ask, but you know we put out in 354 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: the ether, right. Yeah, Well, you know what, Actually it's 355 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: good because if anybody wants to invest a little bit 356 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: in defenses, because I know, when you're playing DFS, you're 357 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: playing draft kings that people throw away. The defense is 358 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: way too much. And you know, and if you're ever deciding, hey, 359 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: should I really spend on the forty Niners this week? 360 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: Think about because normally you'd be like Eagles, No, But 361 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: now you're like, oh, maybe that being said, I'm probably 362 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: still taking the Broncos or the Jets. The Jets are 363 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: sneaky this week. You know, it's funny. I just this 364 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: was not planned, but just kind of be a for me. 365 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: A DFS strategy is like I go and I find 366 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: the spots where I think I want to spend a 367 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: little bit more, and I will fill those in. I 368 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: feel like it's easier to go and find value picks 369 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: at say running back and wide receiver because there are 370 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: so many more options. So defense tends to be, you know, 371 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: one of the places where maybe I go a little 372 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: bit pricier because I just want to make sure I 373 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: have that good matchup, because I don't want to throw 374 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: those those potential opportunities away. So ye, maybe San Francisco 375 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: is a place you do want to spend some of 376 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: your Draft Kings salary this week. And speaking of which, 377 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: today's show is sponsored by draft Kings, a leader in 378 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: one day fantasy sports.

All Right, 383 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: so we have got to the point of the season 384 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: where you're probably going to have to make some moves 385 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: on your roster. You may have injuries, you may have 386 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: guys who are just struggling at the start of the year, 387 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: and maybe your team is sort of teetering and not 388 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: maybe playing as well as you want. So we're gonna 389 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: start talking about some guys that maybe you put on 390 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 1: the trading block, or maybe you don't, and you wait 391 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: to see if they're gonna turn around and pick things 392 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: up in a few weeks to come. So I've got 393 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: five names here of guys, and we'll bat around whether 394 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: or not you should think about trading them away. Maybe 395 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: you trade for them, maybe you just sit sit tight 396 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: and wait for them to actually perform the way you expected. 397 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: So let's start with Lamar Jackson. You had a rough 398 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: night on Monday, just nineties seven passing yards, did chip 399 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: in with eighty three rushing yards, so that certainly was nice. 400 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: But through the first three weeks of the season, he's 401 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: just the QB twelve, certainly not giving you the return 402 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: you invested when you spent a high draft pick on him. So, 403 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Adam Rank, when you look at Lamar Jackson, 404 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: are you putting him on the trading block or do 405 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: you just wait for him to come back and be 406 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Oh, I'm I'm definitely not putting him on 407 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: the trading block and would go the other way and 408 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 1: try to acquire him if possible. I know that right 409 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: now it looks a little bad because Joe Burrow has 410 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: more Fantasy points than Lamar Jackson, at least in the league. 411 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: I was that I have weird quarterback scoring. But I 412 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: need to remind people I know that Monday night sucked, 413 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: especially for my friend Craig Madden. Hey, buddy, what's up 414 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: beat you this week? Do you feel good about me 415 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: getting auto picked Russell Wilson? I hope. So in any event, 416 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: here's my thing. Remember last year the Ravens were two 417 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: in one, they lost to the Cleveland Browns, okay, and 418 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: then they went out and won twelve consecutive games. So 419 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: do not get too down about this poor performance. This 420 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: is actually this This sets them up for another run 421 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: through the a f C. So it was terrible. Mark 422 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: Andrews was dropping a lot of passes. Don't freak out 423 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: about him either. It's one week. You move on your fine, 424 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: stop freaking out, and if somebody in your league is, 425 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: then you go out and you make sure to um, 426 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: you make sure to grab him off your off your 427 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: off your friends roster. Sorry, people are all over. Why 428 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: is everybody on my case public today? And everybody's like, 429 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: I need to start. I need to shut off my 430 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: slack is what I do. I'm so sorry. People are like, now, 431 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: can you not see in the newsroom that I'm on 432 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: a I'm on a TV screen. This is what happens 433 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: when you're in demand like this. I would say this, Yeah, 434 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I don't don't worry about Lamar Jackson. 435 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: In fact, you know you're you're coming in the first 436 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: segment about sort of looking at how things go right 437 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: and actually analyzing the game. I think speaks volumes to 438 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: this Lamar Jackson mild panic that might be happening. If 439 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews catches a few of those balls, if Hollywood 440 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: Brown snags a few catches, then Lamar's Knight looks completely different. 441 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: Maybe if the Ravens don't go away from running the 442 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: football like they did effectively in the first couple of drives, 443 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: maybe that night looks different for Lamar Jackson, and instead 444 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: of the QB twelve, he's somewhere in the top ten, 445 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: maybe top eight, and we're not as panicked about what's 446 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: going on. So I'm not out on Lamar. I don't 447 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: think you freaked out about him, And I also don't 448 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: want to hear from all the people who were like, 449 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: this is why you don't draft their quarterback early, because 450 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: I still think bigger things are coming, because because you 451 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: know those people are coming like they they are, they're 452 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: sharpening their knives and they're ready to come for us. 453 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: So okay, let me ask you this then, Marcus, I'm sorry, 454 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm hijacking another segment. If you have, you drafted Darryl Henderson, 455 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: So now can you take victory laps on everybody who 456 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: drafted Kenyan Drake and be like, oh see, this is 457 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: why you don't draft a running back early. I mean, 458 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: I think analytics Twitter actually is doing that, but I 459 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: don't think fantasy football Twitter has clued into that just yet. 460 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: So I know it's it's like two different worlds that 461 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: sort of mash up every once in a while, but 462 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: I think in this disrespect those two kind of that 463 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: kind of stay separate, at least for this moment. Another quarterback, though, 464 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: who has struggled to start the year's Deshaun Watson. He's 465 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: the QB seventeen. The Texans offensive line still looks like 466 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: a mess when it comes to pass blocking. Watson has 467 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: been up and down to start the season. Are we 468 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: are we dealing him or are we still sort of 469 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: believing in Deshawn's talent at this point, I would stay put, 470 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: but I would definitely be working the waiver wire and 471 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: figure out some matchups where we might not be playing 472 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson this season. And it's disappointing and this let 473 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: us be another one of ranks. Little pro tips for 474 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: you is to always check your your league scoring because 475 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: it could have a huge impact. Because even before this year, 476 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has traditionally been one of those quarterbacks who's 477 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: been about the most sacked in the league, which you 478 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: would think is weird. You're like, this is an athletic 479 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: guy I think gets out of the pocket, but he 480 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: gets sacked a lot. And I'm in a league where 481 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: you get points taken away for sacks, so I actually 482 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: avoided him in that league. But I think overall, what 483 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: we're seeing is that number one receivers turn out to 484 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: be pretty important. You know, it's it's apparently DeAndre Hopkins 485 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: was probably worth the headache that he was calling. Unless 486 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: unless you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, and you're annually just creating 487 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: superstar wide receivers. I think it's best two. If you 488 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: have a good receiver, hold onto him. And I'm speaking 489 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: to an audience of one right now. I'm talking to you, 490 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: Ryan Pace. So here's my thing. Though, I know we're 491 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: talking about Deshaun Watson and this is I listen. I 492 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: legitimately would keep him. I don't think you're gonna get 493 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: the return on the investment. And then I look at 494 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: some of the matchups and I'm gonna say, you know what, 495 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: I might be streaming Joe Burrow. I might find a 496 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: quarterback who's on a hot streak that week, probably not 497 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Mr Drabinsky, but you know, somebody, but uh, and find somebody. 498 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: But I'm definitely staying put. Yeah, I'm staying put partially 499 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: because one the thing I think I've always found is 500 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: that trading quarterbacks, first of all, is hard because there's 501 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: just so many of them that it's like, somebody will 502 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: offer me a quarterback in a deal, and I'm like, why, 503 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: I can go to the waiver wire and they're like 504 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: five guys that I think I can pick up and 505 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: get me through the next couple of weeks. So that 506 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: that's part of it. The other part of it is 507 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: I think at some point we'll find some consistency in 508 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: that passing game. I mean, at first it was Will Fuller, 509 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: then it was Brandon Cooks. Then there was some combination 510 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: of Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks. So I think at 511 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: some point de Sean will start to find a little 512 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: bit of a rhythm and start to get a little 513 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: bit better. But I do think the point is fair 514 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: that maybe our expectations of him being a top five quarterback, 515 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: maybe we were a little bit too high on him, 516 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: and maybe we didn't realize how much of an impact 517 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: losing losing DeAndre Hopkins would be to this offense. So 518 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: maybe we sort of start to redo some things, and 519 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, please get him some protection, get getting an 520 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: offensive line that can help. I mean, look at what 521 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: happened with Andrew luck, right, they went years without giving 522 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: him an offensive line to protect him. He was beaten 523 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: and battered for years, ends up, you know, retiring early. 524 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: We certainly don't want that for Deshaun Watson. So maybe, 525 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe help out your franchise quarterback, That's 526 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: all I'm saying. And if I may it's one of 527 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: those things. I know, everybody just acts like we were 528 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: dragging Bill O'Brien for getting David Johnson, no matter how 529 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: you feel about him or anything like that. But I 530 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: think the biggest issue I had is it's it's okay, fine, 531 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna trade your number one wide receiver. It hasn't 532 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: really hurt the Giants because they're still terrible. They're going 533 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: to be terrible. The thing is is that these receivers 534 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: were getting first round picks in return, Like you have 535 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: an immediate need on the offensive, like get the first 536 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: round pick more than anything from anybody, because you could 537 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: have gone out and taken Todd Gurley, Leonard four Nette, 538 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman just signed. Any of those options would be 539 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: the same as David Johnson. And so to me, that's 540 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: the most disappointing thing is like if they would have 541 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: gotten a stud offensive lineman, and I think for the 542 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: Giants it will eventually start showing out where you know, 543 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: they got Kevin Zeitler and they started drafting offensive lineman. 544 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: The Texans aren't even doing that, And that's the thing 545 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: that's the most frustrating, and it actually hurts DeShawn Watson 546 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: moving forward, and if and if I'm the Bears, I 547 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: call up and I'm like, the dude, we'll give you 548 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: Mitch and a second right now for the Sean for 549 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: next year because we got Nick Foles. That I mean 550 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: that honestly might be enough considering the deals that Bill 551 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: O'Brien has accepted, that that might you know, throwing like 552 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: a ho ho on a ten speed and I think 553 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: you might have a deal to get Deshaun Watson. You 554 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: mentioned Chin and Drake a little bit earlier as a 555 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: guy that hey, you know, you draft him in the 556 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: first round or early second round and it's not quite 557 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: working out. I mean, he's the RV right now, and 558 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: he's been tweeting at people about, hey, you know, believe 559 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: in me. If you don't, if you don't like my product, 560 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't drop me and let me bless someone else's roster 561 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: anyone out. And he wasn't great against the Lions this 562 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: one he's got the Panthers. Is this is this like 563 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: do you wait and try to maybe sell high on 564 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: him or do you think that this is maybe the 565 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: start of good things potentially coming for Kenyan Drake. Well, 566 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm definitely staying put on Kenyan Drake. I will put 567 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: that out there. I should learn how to read a 568 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: run down because I thought Kenyan Drake was the next player, 569 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: and I thought I was teeing you up beautifully with 570 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: that whole thing. Look, dude, So my thing is with 571 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is that he is still getting the majority 572 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: of the snaps, He's getting the majority of the touches. 573 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: It's it's It's one thing if Chase Edmonds was there 574 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: splitting fifty with him, and you would be like, Okay, 575 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: now this is a concern. I just think that that 576 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: it hasn't been a proper execution so far, and that's fine. 577 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: The matchup against the Lions, we thought was going to 578 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: be a good one, didn't quite work out that way. 579 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: That's fine. Again. Now they're going up against the Carolina Panthers, 580 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: who have allowed a top three running back in every 581 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: game this season. I'm not panicking until this game, and 582 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: hopefully this is when he breaks out and he goes 583 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: through and even what he does, I know there's gonna 584 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: be some some motivation to kind of sell high. I 585 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: just when when a player finally breaks out. I'm just 586 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: happy that he's finally breaking out. And I'm like, let's go, 587 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: let's start winning a bunch of games. So I'm looking 588 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: forward to a great week from Kenyan Drake. I'm staying 589 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: put and I will not move him. There are there 590 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: are some players on which you know I am. I 591 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: will admit I get a little bit bullheaded because I 592 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: was very much on that bandwagon and Kinyan Drake is 593 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: one of them. I've had high hopes for Kenyan Drake, 594 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: So the stubborn side of me is is saying, I'm 595 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna hold onto this thing. I will admit, if it 596 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: doesn't happen this week against Carolina, I'm gonna start to 597 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: get a little bit worried. The other downside of that is, 598 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen this week against Carolina, it becomes 599 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: that much harder to trade him. So you know, I think, 600 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: in some ways or another, I think I'm I'm forcing 601 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: myself to stay put. But I understand. Look, I get it. 602 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: If you have Kenyan Drake and you've been fresh traded 603 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: and he balls out this week, I can understand putting 604 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: him on the trade block, trying to see what you 605 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: can get for him. The schedule the rest of the 606 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: way is sort of mixed. There are some decent matchups 607 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: are some bad matchups. So I can understand the the 608 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: sort of panic there, and I do appreciate you trying 609 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: to team me up, but I know we have a 610 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: control ground full of people that are following the rundown. 611 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: So I you know, I don't want to get yelled. 612 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: How do you want to get yelled? That on on 613 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: slacker in my ear because I went out of order 614 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: and maybe threw some things off. But I do appreciate you. 615 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: I do um. Robbie Anderson is the wide receiver eight, 616 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: and this is a guy that I just didn't understand 617 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: when he signed down there in Carolina. It didn't seem 618 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: like a fit. He was a deep threat with Teddy 619 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: Bridgewater who doesn't throw the football deep, but he's played well. 620 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: D J. Moore has sort of been the question mark. 621 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at Robbie Anderson, is this 622 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: a cell high or does he just keep this rolling 623 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: all year? Well, I'm probably gonna talk myself out of 624 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: this because at first I'm like, I'm gonna stay put 625 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: because I do I like the offense. I mean, Joe Brady, 626 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: Matt Rule, You're like, this is a cool happends to 627 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: be a part of and when Christian McCaffrey returns, they 628 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: should start putting up a lot of points. And it does. 629 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: And it goes back to that question. I know we're 630 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: not asking it about DJ Moore, if we're panicking on 631 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: him or not, but it's like, this is where things 632 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: become concerning, because Robbie Anderson has looked great and he's 633 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: getting targeted and he's getting opportunities. And again, I know 634 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: that everybody is always out to make a deal and 635 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: they want to. Hey, everybody's weiland and dealon. I want 636 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: to make trade. You're playing fantasy. You want to have fun. 637 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: I certainly understand that, but I get very selfish in 638 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: the fact that, oh, like this guy is playing well, 639 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: I want to continue to use him. I know that 640 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: at some point this this could this could uh, this 641 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: could end. I mean we could be at a part 642 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: at a spot of like Week twelve where d J 643 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Moore is crushing it. We're like, hey, remember when Robbie 644 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: Anderson was a thing, So I could come back and 645 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: my But you also likes as fun as it is 646 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: to sit here and be like, yeah, dude, I like 647 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: if it was me, I would flip Robbie Anderson right 648 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: now for Patrick Mahomes. You have to realize that somebody 649 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: on the other end has to be willing to do it. 650 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: And I think that the problem is is that a 651 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: lot of people will still have that that that that 652 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: preseason ranking of him in there, and I think that 653 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: that's that's what fantasy managers do. If you don't have 654 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: the player, you don't look at what Robby Anderson has 655 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: done and been like I need to go out and 656 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: get him. You think of how you thought of him 657 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: before the season started, of like I don't even know 658 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: why this guy's in Carolina. So if you approach somebody 659 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, I'll give you Robbie Anderson for 660 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Mike Evans in which you might think is fair or whatever, 661 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna say, no, way, Like you're never gonna get 662 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: the value out of him, so I might as well 663 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: just continue to hold steady with with with Robbie. I 664 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: think that's a fair point because I think that is 665 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: also the thing. It's the thing that I have to 666 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: try to sort of, you know, impress upon people. We 667 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: get we get people asking advice about trades all the time, 668 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: sending us off or saying you should I take this, 669 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: should I not? Or should I offer this player? And 670 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: what should I get in return? And part of what 671 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: I have to remind people is that, look, it also 672 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: depends on how the other person values the player. That's 673 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: how that's why trades are sort of tricky. That being said, 674 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: I would still try to maybe move Robbie Anderson. And 675 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying this thinking that there's a very good chance 676 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: he keeps this up all season long, right like there's 677 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: a very good chance that Robby Anderson finishes as a 678 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: top twenty wide receiver. I still think that, you know, 679 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: maybe you sort of point out, maybe you you you 680 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: copy and paste his stat line when you put when 681 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: you put the trade offer out there, so that the 682 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: person sees it and they think, oh, hey, hey, maybe 683 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: this guy is playing really a lot better than I thought. Uh. 684 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: And look, I'm willing to sort of take the risk 685 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: that he continues this, but I'll just throw it out there. 686 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: See what I can get back in return. Maybe I 687 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,479 Speaker 1: can and strengthen my running back spots. Maybe I can 688 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: find a couple of wide receivers that I can platoon 689 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: or flex on a regular basis, And you know, keep 690 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: my fingers crossed that maybe this Robbie Anderson explosion doesn't continue. 691 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: But you know, then again, I also remind myself that 692 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: he is one of the newest Adam Gates ex pats, 693 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: and those guys I think are always distant to succeed. 694 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: So maybe I've talked myself out of trading Robbie Anderson 695 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: in just that one sentence, I've sort of trade you 696 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: sort of talked me into trading him by including his 697 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: stat line. That's a. That's a that's a fun little 698 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: pro tip. We should we should start having a little 699 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: pops that come up, like d can I tell you, like, 700 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm not a great trader as it is, I've been. 701 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: I've been, dude. I've been making trades all over the 702 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: place and in the league that I do with step 703 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: mom Lauren. Last week, I had the number one waiver 704 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: spot because it doesn't reset until you use it, and 705 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: so I was able to get Mike Davis, and so 706 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: I took Mike Davis and I traded him for Ceedee Lamb, 707 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna own this guy because 708 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb slot Seahawks didn't work out. But I think 709 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: long term that will end up working out for me 710 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: because Mike Davis has got a small shelf life. The 711 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: player that I traded him to has Christian McCaffrey. So 712 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was fair. So sometimes you gotta look 713 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: at situations like that too. If if you're in a 714 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: if you're in a bind and you notice somebody like, oh, 715 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: like this person would probably need Robby Anderson or whatever 716 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: it is, that's also something to look forward to. Sorry, yeah, 717 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: that's no, No, that's I mean, that's how it looks. 718 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: That's how it sort of went down. And when I 719 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: I acquired Chris Godwin, I traded Dalvin Cook in my 720 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: thought process was, hey, man, the Vikings offense, it kind 721 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,479 Speaker 1: of stinks. Right now I'm worried about I'm worried about 722 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, and then Chris Godwin. And then here's Chris 723 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: Godwin and then he pulls a hamstring and is out 724 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: for a few weeks while Dalvin Cook goes for a 725 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards and scores a touchdown. And then 726 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: I felt kind of silly. Yeah yeah, so now I 727 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: feel kind of silly, and uh, you know, we'll see 728 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: how it works out. And one I'm too on one 729 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: in that league. I think it's gonna be fine, especially 730 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: Sander Madison back. Yeah, good, good, cal Maybe I'll do 731 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: that and see how that happens. All right. So last one, 732 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: John new Smith, who is the number two tight end 733 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: in fantasy football, and here we are three weeks into 734 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: the season and tight end is a mess again. I 735 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: have been on the John new bandwagon all off season. 736 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: But for people who you know, maybe are just starting 737 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: to pay attention, is he worth trying to trade or 738 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: do you hang on to him? Well, I gotta I'm 739 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: gonna have a two part answer. I know that I 740 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: notified our producer that it said I'm gonna stay put, 741 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: so I know they're gonna fly the little pop that 742 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: says stay put, which is fine. I feel like thinking, 743 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, Ryan. I like listen. I just 744 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: want to make sure I don't ruin the production. So 745 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: if you had, like I, I drafted Blake Darwin and 746 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: so John eu Smith is somebody who I drafted, I 747 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: actually have to keep him. I'm not trading him away 748 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: or doing anything like that because it makes sense. Of course, 749 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: he's my tight end now. But if you were and 750 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: this is one of the things that we advised during 751 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: the preseason that even if you were drafting Travis Kelsey, 752 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: for instance, or one of the high end tight ends, 753 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: that you should probably take somebody like John U Smith 754 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: because we don't know what this season is gonna look 755 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: like with with with no training camp and possibly more 756 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: injuries COVID. We're starting to see that a little bit. 757 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: Make sure that the positions you don't normally double up, 758 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: you do. So if you do have John new Smith 759 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: and you have Travis Kelsey and you can go out 760 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: and take advantage of a team that drafted George Kittle 761 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: or somebody who has who's who is starting Dallas Goddard 762 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: last week, then yeah, I kind of like that as well. 763 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: But for me, I'm in the situations I'm in. I 764 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: have to keep him, but I think that he's a 765 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: great trap. He's a great trade trade chip if you 766 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: have some depth at that position. Yeah, I agree, I 767 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: would say that I'm I'm staying put on him simply 768 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 1: because uh tight end again has become volatile and and 769 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: this is a guy that has showing that he's going 770 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: to perform that showing that's good. He's gonna get opportunities 771 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: in the Titans offense. He is also, as I've talked 772 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: about with Kenyan Drake, one of those players that I 773 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: stand for in the the off season. I wait, you know, 774 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: I was waving the flag for him in the off season, 775 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: And so part of me is is this is my 776 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: way of sort of uh you know, it's like walking 777 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: around with a fancy new watch. You're like, hey, see 778 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: what I got? I got a John new Smith. Uh 779 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: So that's part of the reason I'm staying put. But 780 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: also part of it is just, you know, tie it 781 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: In is just volatile, and I think I'm sort of 782 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: hesitant to give him up. But I think you make 783 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: a good point where if you have two guys, if 784 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: you did get a Kelsey early and you got a 785 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: John new Smith late, then I think you're sort of 786 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: wise to, you know, maybe see if you can dangle 787 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: him out there, see what you can get in return. 788 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: I wish I had drafted him in the league. I 789 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: I didn't one league go George Kittle early and Blake 790 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: Darwin late. And so the last couple of weeks I've 791 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: been rolling with Kyle Rudolph and I'm not I'm not 792 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: happy about it. I'm not happy, but that that's happened 793 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: that was that was a move I was making with 794 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: Kittle and Blake Darwin and there is only there's only 795 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: two leagues. I I did have the Blake Jarwin and 796 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: John you because I got caught. But yeah, I was 797 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: actually I was actually running through the scenarios. I'm like, 798 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: what is the situation. I think Travis Kelsey is the 799 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: only situation. I was speaking to a very narrow audience 800 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: of people who might have both of those players. But 801 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: I do like him a lot, and I do think too, 802 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: I think, I know, I know he wasn't part of 803 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: the discussion here, but I would tell anybody this probably 804 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: goes back to the little Mark Jackson chat. Anybody who 805 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: has Mark Andrews and is super upset about him right now, 806 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: is that opportunity to go and try to take advantage 807 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I still think he's one of the 808 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: top times. He just had a bad he had a 809 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: bad night, and he had a bad night in a 810 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: primetime Island game where literally everybody could see it. Uh. 811 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: If Mark Andrews has four drops at you know, ten 812 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: am Pacific on a Sunday where they're like eight other 813 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: games going on, it probably flies under the radar a 814 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: little bit more if people don't freak out about it 815 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: as much. Uh, such of the problems of playing Monday 816 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: night football games. All right.

All Right, So, I know Twitter has had 823 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: jokes about t NF this week. It's the Broncos, it's 824 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: the Jets. On paper, it's certainly not appealing, but we 825 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: said that about Browns and Bengals a couple of weeks ago, 826 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: and that game turned out to be really fun. So 827 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep a positive outlook about this one 828 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: this week. So let's talk about this TNF game. I 829 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: know there aren't a lot of fantasy parts that sort 830 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: of get you super excited about it. The one thing 831 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: we do know that is that Brett Rippon is going 832 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: to be starting at quarterback for the Denver Broncos and 833 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: the just I just I just gotta get this out 834 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: because this has really been chapping my high for the 835 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: last couple of days. It's ripping. It is not rippy, 836 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: and I know that's how it's spelled. His uncle is 837 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: Mark Rippon, who won a Super Bowl for the Washington Uh. 838 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: They weren't the f teeth in but they You want 839 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl from Washington and here ely nineties, Like 840 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: I just it has bugged me. It is It is 841 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: just it makes my ears burned when I hear people 842 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: say Brett rippy and it's ripping, ripping. Let's just keep 843 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,479 Speaker 1: that rout of the way right now. Anyway, Brett ripping 844 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: a start for the different Broncos. Uh does this? Does 845 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: this change the way you feel about any of his 846 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: past catchers? This week? Absolutely late, but you're so right, 847 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: Like it makes us feel so out of date that 848 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: you guys don't remember Mark ripping. It's like if you 849 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: if if Fred durst nephew started fronting a band and 850 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: nobody could pronounce his name, You're like, it's fred Durst, 851 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: his nephew. You know it wasn't that long ago. Uh. 852 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: You know what, I do love watching young quarterbacks like 853 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: this get an opportunity because you never you never know 854 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: you know, Nicky Mullins came in Southern miss Kid and 855 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: it was fun, Like it was a lot of fun 856 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: to watch. He was that. He was a little bit 857 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: of a revelation Rippen. We saw him play in college 858 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: and we're like, Okay, this is exciting. He played for 859 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: a fun program. So now he's got an opportunity to 860 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: go out there. I'm kind of like, I'm not starting him. 861 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: I'm not feeling great about his wide receivers, mostly because 862 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: you know, with Courtland Sutton out, I probably still would 863 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: have had a little bit of faith in him. Maybe 864 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: no offense, but yeah, I don't know. It is the 865 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 1: Jets though, Like it's it's so con flicking. I don't 866 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,720 Speaker 1: think that it's anything. I don't think that it's anything 867 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: where like in my home leagues, I'm not playing most 868 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: of these guys. But I think, you know, because Draft 869 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: Kings does do Thursday night contest, Like, I think that 870 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: could be really fun. I think this is where you 871 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: would really show your skills as a fantasy football enthusiast. 872 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: If you could navigate this Thursday night games and the 873 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: DraftKings in a DraftKings game, then I would have a 874 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: lot of respect for you. I I would say that, 875 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: and I'm saying this because I was tasked to do 876 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: this for one of the network shows, is put together 877 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: a lineup for the Thursday nights Thursday on Thursday Only, 878 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: no Offense. It was very top of mind for me. 879 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: I think I threw in Jerry Judy somewhere in there, 880 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: just to you know, I don't know, out of hope 881 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: that maybe something happens. I also mentioned that it sort 882 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: of felt like, you know, it really was like trying 883 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: to do a puzzle. It was just one piece missing 884 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 1: and you're like, you get to the end, You're like, 885 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: where is that piece? I can't figure out where it is. 886 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: That was sort of putting together a draft Kings lineup 887 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: for the Thursday only slate. But does this Does this 888 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: make you feel better about Melvin Gordon? You think maybe 889 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: he just turns around and hands it off to his 890 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: running back a lot this week? You know what I 891 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: was in. I was enthusiastic about Melvin Gordon coming into 892 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: the season, and I'm That's why I had to stop 893 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: myself when I was saying, like I'm not starting anybody, 894 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: because I really do believe in Melvin Gordon in this game. 895 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: I I do believe that Ripping will do enough to 896 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: get him the football not only as a runner, but 897 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: as a receiver as well. And I'm hoping we did 898 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: get to see a small sample size for Ripping on Sunday, 899 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: but I really do hope that. You know, checking down 900 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: to Melvin Gordon is a huge part of this offense. 901 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: So I I would actually put myself again in the 902 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: enthused category for me. I am, I'm hey, look, I'm 903 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: sort of dumbling down on Melvin Gordon because I thought 904 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: that same thing last week. That's what I anticipated for 905 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: him last week against the Buccaneers and really happened. So 906 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: maybe Brent Rippon does with Jeff Driscoll didn't and gets 907 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,919 Speaker 1: the ball to Melvin Gordon. So I am, I'm sort 908 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: of with you on that one. He was another guy 909 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: that I put in my Thursday only Draft Kings lineup. 910 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: I think I went pretty I went pretty broncho heavy 911 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: with that. Now you got kJ Hamler in there, No 912 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, No, I went to I think it was 913 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 1: Fans Gordon Judy. I think Brandon McManus might have made 914 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: an appearance in there too. Uh. The one jet I 915 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: did have was Braxton Barrios and I guess I've just 916 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 1: described the scenario in which I would start Braxton Burrios. 917 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: But is there another scenario you could imagine in which 918 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: you would start Braxton Barrios this week? Probably not, And 919 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: I listen, I don't wanna. I don't want to besmirch 920 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: the young man or anything like that. But in his 921 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: his first game with a touchdown, this is in week two, 922 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: he had eight targets just for last week. If he 923 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: was heavily targeted, if he was somebody who was getting 924 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, eight to ten targets a game, I would 925 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 1: feel really good about it. But he's got the ability 926 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: to to take take the ball into the house. You know. 927 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: The only thing is it obviously Thursday night only draft 928 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: King Slates. I will tell anybody this, if you have 929 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: a spot on your roster, if you have somebody who 930 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: you don't need, you're like, why do I still have 931 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: this player somebody just went on I R. Let's say 932 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: you had Dallas Goddard, for instance, and you're like, okay, 933 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: well I have a spot that opened up my thing 934 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: that I always even if you're not going to start him, 935 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: I would go pick him up. I would pick up Braxton. 936 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: I would pick up like kJ Hamler and people like 937 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: this in the in the event that they break out, 938 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, cool, you've got to jump on 939 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. You don't have to go out. Brexon, 940 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: of course is the guy who's shown some ability over 941 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But then you have him 942 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: on your roster and you don't have to burn a 943 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 1: waiver claim for him. So that's that's a nice little chip. 944 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: And you know, if it turns out like uh, he 945 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: was a two week pumpkin, then you just drop him 946 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: and it doesn't cost you nothing, and you're you're you're 947 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: you're you're out nothing. You got a free lunch, You're fine. 948 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm done with that. I will also say, Braxton Barrios 949 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 1: to me is like slower Andy Isabella. And that's not 950 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,280 Speaker 1: really not because Andy Isabella is like super crazy fast. 951 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: So to say that you're slower than Andy Isabella, that 952 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: applies to probably I would think about, you know, eight 953 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: percent of the world's population, um sot, Like, you know, 954 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: being being the slower Andy Isabella is not at all 955 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: an insult. Uh, And that's sort of what I think 956 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: of Braxton Barrios. So, uh, there are very limited chances 957 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: for me to start him. But I do think if 958 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: you are playing a Thursday only draft, King Slade, throw 959 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: them in there. The the salary is right, and you 960 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: never know, maybe he pops a big play, especially if 961 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: the Jets are playing and well, they have garbage time 962 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: in this one. I think this game will actually be 963 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: close enough that there might not be garbage time. I honestly, 964 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,919 Speaker 1: I think that everything that we thought about last week 965 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: with the Jags Dolphins is going to end up playing 966 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: out here on Thursday night. And so I know, and 967 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: I know it's a joke. I know I'm pulling back 968 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: the curtain a little bit, and listen, I don't I 969 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: don't think I'm telling I'm feel like we should be 970 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: transparent and honest with people as much as possible. I 971 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: understand that you're looking at this game and you're like, whatever, 972 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: we'll see Like That's that's how I felt about Cobra 973 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: Kai Ro. I'm like, how do they make two seasons 974 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: out of something that would be a funny, ten minute, 975 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: Funnier die video, And yet I'm there till two in 976 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: the morning on Monday finishing season two. So I think 977 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: that this game has an opportunity to be a lot 978 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: better than people are given a credit for. And I 979 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: make your jokes. But when Twitter is blowing up and 980 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm and I'm trading tweets with you know, Bob Golick Jr. 981 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: Or Michael Jr. And you know, there's a whatever and 982 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: it might be, but I'm out there having a good 983 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: time on Twitter with all of our Twitter buddies who 984 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: will be laughing me. So my big takeaway from this 985 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: entire segment is that I need to put Cobra Kai. 986 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: I know that we don't know making a way through 987 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: season two of the Boys leave Me Alone. I know 988 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 1: that we don't have time for it. And I'm like 989 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm not gonna say which game I 990 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 1: haven't watched yet on Game Pass. There's one. I'll finish 991 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 1: it after this show, don't worry. But it's like I've 992 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: made time to finish Cobra Kai. That's another one in 993 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: ranks pro tips. So if you could pop that pro tip, 994 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,720 Speaker 1: I will, I will. I will make time to start 995 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: and finish Cobra Kai.

Visas got you 1005 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: covered alright. Week four starts and sits, Adam Rank, Let's 1006 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: just let's just dive right into the quarterbacks. We talked 1007 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson earlier in this show. You are still 1008 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: keeping the faith in the show this week. Yeah, I'm 1009 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna go with Deshaun Watson number one because the Vikings offense, 1010 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,720 Speaker 1: or excuse me, the Vikings defense is a nice murlot 1011 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,479 Speaker 1: their Vino Vikings in name only, right, That's good, that's clever. 1012 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 1: Like give me that. I like that. I like that. No, 1013 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: I did, I did that. The one thing that I 1014 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: will say is that Deshaun Watson his top two d 1015 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: and fifty passing yards in every game this season. It's 1016 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: just gonna take a couple of plays like this to 1017 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: Will Fuller to really get him going. I do believe 1018 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 1: that the the way to get this this offense going again, 1019 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson at some point has to pick it up 1020 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,240 Speaker 1: and put the team on his shoulders and move forward 1021 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 1: that way. So I'm starting to Shawn this week. I'm 1022 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: also gonna start Ryan Fitzpatrick. And again you talk about 1023 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: another defense that is there in name only, it's the Seahawks. 1024 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: The legion of Boom has been replaced. You know, Lex 1025 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: Luthor's gone and they've brought in his cousin Mark. You know, 1026 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 1: It's it's a completely different thing going on there. And 1027 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 1: so Ryan Fitzpatrick is now in that part of the 1028 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: season where he's keeping the young guy that we really 1029 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: want to see on the field on the sidelines. And 1030 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: believe me, the six interception game is looming and going 1031 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,720 Speaker 1: up against a downtrodden Seahawks defense seems like the proper 1032 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: time to do it, because it feels like anytime we 1033 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: really buy in to Ryan Fitzpatrick and it ends up 1034 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: not working out for us. But I think that you 1035 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: should feel safe starting him this week against the Seahawks. 1036 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: The Seahawks coming off two impressive wins. I know the three, 1037 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: but the two impressive wins flying across the country, playing 1038 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: in Miami, I think the Seahawks actually have a chance 1039 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: of being upset in this game. So I'm gonna go 1040 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,479 Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Luthor Man, what a loser that guy? 1041 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: Uh right? Facts, By the way, you should use that 1042 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: v know line you should you should actually throw that 1043 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: out there on Twitter and uh and get that going. 1044 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty good to say, thank um 1045 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: running backs you got Jonathan Taylor has stepped up and 1046 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: played well. I mean, why not keep riding that one? Uh? No, absolutely, 1047 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,399 Speaker 1: And this isn't On paper it looks like a tough 1048 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: matchup against the Chicago Bears, but you have to realize 1049 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,280 Speaker 1: the Bears have been really good against quarterbacks this season 1050 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 1: and they've they've shut down Matt Stafford. Matt Ryan did 1051 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: not have a good game in Week three, and it's 1052 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: really been the running that has been able to take 1053 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 1: advantage of the Bears this season. And Eddie Goldman, of 1054 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 1: course is not played this year and really showed like 1055 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: what an underrated jim he is. So I really expect 1056 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: the Colts to go out there and attack them on 1057 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: the ground, and Austin Ekeler is somebody that I feel 1058 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: like we can feel pretty good about again as long 1059 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,479 Speaker 1: as Justin Herbert is the starting quarterback. I know coach 1060 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn was talking about like, hey, I'm not committed 1061 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: to him. I think Eckler needs to be there being 1062 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: like bro, come back to him, buy him a ring, 1063 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: get in paid to do whatever. There it is because 1064 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: Austin Ekelers looked like completely different player. And again I 1065 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: don't need to besmirched Tyrod work thy Rod fans the 1066 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: Stronghold has always been pro Tyrod, but we can't argue 1067 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: with the results and how good this team has looked 1068 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,760 Speaker 1: offensively when Herbert is It actually goes to Tony Lynn's 1069 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: point of like they won in Week one with Tyrod 1070 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: and then Justin Herbert comes in and looks great and 1071 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: they've lost both of those games. So maybe we shouldn't 1072 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 1: be too mad at the coach. But we don't care 1073 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 1: about the Chargers. We care about our favorite team the 1074 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: ways we don't care about the wins and losses. We 1075 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: just want you to get the ball to our guys, 1076 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: and and Justin Herbert has been a good job of 1077 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: getting it to Eckler and Chenan Allen and all those guys. 1078 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,720 Speaker 1: So for our own selfish purposes, we want the rookie 1079 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,280 Speaker 1: in there. That's all there is. Too h at wide receiver, 1080 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,479 Speaker 1: You're you're back in on O B J this week. Listen. 1081 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 1: I've never been out on O b J. O Odell 1082 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Is one of my favorite players in the NFL. 1083 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 1: He's a great teammate, he works hard, He's a great player. 1084 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 1: The problem is is this offense, and it's just one 1085 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: of those situations where you know he's in a run 1086 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: first offense. If you gave Austin Dillon a prius and 1087 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: told him to win Daytona, that's kind of an impossible situation. 1088 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: Although Austin Villons bread you could probably do it. So 1089 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: it's tough. So Odell, as great as he is, is 1090 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: now in that category of looking at matchups, and we 1091 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: love this matchup this week against the Dallas Cowboys, who've 1092 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 1: given up a lot of production two receivers. Now, I know, 1093 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: if you look at the season totals, a lot of 1094 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: that is conflated because of what Tyler Lockett and what 1095 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf were able to do last week. But that's 1096 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: the point, like good receivers can get over on that team. 1097 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 1: And we're also going back with Tyler Boyd, and this 1098 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: is an interesting situation. Everybody got kind of clued in 1099 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 1: to what te Higgins is all about, but Tyler Boyd 1100 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 1: is the steadying force in this passing offense. He had 1101 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 1: ten receptions last week a hundred twenty five yards. If 1102 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 1: he gets into the end zone, that turns into a 1103 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 1: monster game. So we love the production out of him. 1104 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: I really love him, and I think that if you're 1105 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 1: looking for one Cincinnati Bengals receiver to start, it's gotta 1106 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: be Tyler Boyd. I feel like he's going to be 1107 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: the most consistent. I mean, he's the guy that I 1108 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: think we all thought was gonna be the wide receiver 1109 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: one in Cincinnati. And yeah, and maybe took a couple 1110 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: of weeks to sort of pick things up, but he 1111 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: looks like he has taken over that mantle, like like 1112 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: we anticipated he would tight end. You know, I'm not 1113 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: even gonna say that you're being a homer with Jimmy 1114 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: Graham because I really do think that we just have 1115 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 1: to start playing Jimmy Graham now. Yeah, And honestly, if 1116 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: you look at the matchup. No team has allowed fewer 1117 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: points to tight ends this season than the Indianapolis Colts. 1118 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: So if you're if you're trying to be that person 1119 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: of like, I'm just looking at the the f p 1120 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: A and I will roll that way, I'm gonna look 1121 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: out of a different way. When Nick Foles came into 1122 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 1: the game, he started targeting Jimmy Graham, and the whole 1123 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: point of this offense, the reason why the Bears put 1124 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: so much emphasis on having twelve tight ends, on bringing 1125 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 1: in Jimmy Graham. It's an important part of this offense. 1126 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,280 Speaker 1: They need their Travis Kelsey. Remember that's where Matt Nage 1127 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 1: came from, that Andy Reid system. So they need their 1128 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and so far, Jimmy Graham has lived up 1129 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: to it. The only difference being now is that they 1130 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 1: have a quarterback who gives you the safest floor. I 1131 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: don't want to sit here and besmirch Mitch or anything 1132 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 1: like that, but the one thing about about Nick Foles 1133 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 1: is that he gives you such a safe floor. And 1134 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,720 Speaker 1: I think that that helps out and makes Jimmy Graham 1135 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 1: a great play this week. And you know what, what 1136 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: about t J Hawkinson. You know, I know, I still 1137 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of deflect any notion that this is this is 1138 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: the gronk of Matt Patricia's offense. It's an obvious like 1139 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 1: people are always gonna say that it's it's unavoidable. But 1140 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,839 Speaker 1: he has looked pretty good this season. He's a top 1141 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: ten tight end. He's being consistent, he's being productive, and again, 1142 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's getting six targets per game as you 1143 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,320 Speaker 1: see right there, So I'm getting him into my lineup. 1144 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: I think that for the difficulties that we've had it 1145 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 1: tight end so far this season, that he's a pretty 1146 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: secure start. You know, at some point we should stop 1147 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 1: comparing people to like all time grades. We should pick 1148 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: like some you know, some like hall of very good guys. 1149 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: Maybe he's like, you know, hey, he's like the Brent 1150 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: Jones of the Detroit Lions offense or something like that. 1151 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 1: You know, he's the next Jay nova Check. Like I 1152 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,919 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm just I'm sort of spitballing. Yeah, that's good. 1153 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 1: J Check was underrated by the way he really was, 1154 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, all those other guys there around 1155 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 1: him trying to took the shine. But Jay nov Chick 1156 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: had a good, long career with the Dallas Cowboys. No 1157 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: doubt that was secure starts presented by Visa. So we've 1158 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: done the starts. Now we have to buy right do 1159 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 1: these sits? Let's go back to the quarterback position. I'm 1160 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: starting to think Philip Rivers in general just he just 1161 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 1: might be washed. It might be official for him, but 1162 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: they're winning games. I think that it's just the way 1163 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: that this offense is going to be constructed and the 1164 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 1: way they're gonna want to attack people. Their defense and 1165 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: has been really good this season. Philip Rivers has not 1166 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 1: been in a position where he's had to throw the football. 1167 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: He hasn't gone out there and had to heave those 1168 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 1: yolo balls or anything like that. So I really appreciate 1169 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: what he's done as a quarterback. But fantasy wise, it's 1170 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 1: never gonna happen. You know. And this has kind of 1171 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 1: been a trademark of his career is that any time 1172 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: it seemed like he was on the precipice of a 1173 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,720 Speaker 1: huge game, he would flounder and it would just be awful. 1174 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 1: Maybe this is the game because the Bears have not 1175 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: allowed a touchdown to a wide receiver this season, that 1176 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: maybe this is where Philip Rivers goes four eleven three 1177 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 1: touchdowns and it just goes crazy. I mean that would 1178 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: be fitting right when we all just sort of, you know, 1179 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 1: give up and fold our hand, that Philip Rivers steps 1180 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: up and does his thing running back. You had a 1181 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: couple of guys, uh. I don't call them old guys, 1182 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,840 Speaker 1: but I mean Todd Gurley has been sort of mediocre, 1183 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: and then you know, looking for that, we just can't 1184 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: figure him out in Tampa Bay. Well, yeah, and if 1185 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 1: we start with Todd Gurley, he's really starting to lose 1186 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 1: some work. You know, Brian Hill is coming in and 1187 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: getting some carries too, and we've never really seen Todd 1188 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: Gurley be a huge factor as a receiver out of 1189 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 1: the backfield. That is one of the things that made 1190 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,360 Speaker 1: him so great with the l A Rams was that 1191 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: he was so good as a receiver out of the backfield, 1192 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: and there's been no consistency with that with the Atlanta Falcons. 1193 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 1: So until he becomes a bigger focal point, I think 1194 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 1: that he's a nice player. He's a nice flex option. 1195 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 1: But again, I'm not sure that I love this matchup 1196 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: this week against the Green Bay Packers. I know that 1197 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is just coming off of the huge game. 1198 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 1: But Alvin Kamara did all of his damage seemingly on 1199 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 1: one play where he took a you know where Drew 1200 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: Brees hit, hit the cut off man and got him 1201 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 1: an eight yard down the sideline and took it all 1202 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 1: the way. And also Leonard four Nette, who is disappointing 1203 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 1: in the fact that, again we've mentioned this throughout the show, 1204 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: is that Brady just decided like, Hey, I want to 1205 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,760 Speaker 1: throw some touchdown passes this week. I'm gonna throw a 1206 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 1: couple of one yard one yard digs to uh Mike Evans. 1207 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 1: And the thing is, you can't like Frank Summers or 1208 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 1: probably I think La Garrett blind is probably a more 1209 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: accurate description. I can't even remember the kid that had 1210 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: four touchdowns that one night in Indianapolis. Oh my gosh. Yes, 1211 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: So he's like that now, like it's it's it's you 1212 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: know again, there's there's a running back who's not being 1213 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 1: featured enough to be trustworthy. And even in a situation 1214 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: where you're scrambling for help at the running back position, 1215 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,760 Speaker 1: it is, Uh, it's disappointing that we're not getting more 1216 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 1: out of Leonard for net wide receivers. You got a 1217 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: couple of guys that had a lot of preseason high 1218 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 1: one of whom has sort of underwelm, the other one 1219 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,439 Speaker 1: who's been okay. But a couple of guys that maybe 1220 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: people might be I feel like there's gonna be in 1221 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: a buying to start, but you're saying maybe not too Yeah. 1222 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the problem with DJ Moore is that they 1223 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: never went to him until later on, and it was 1224 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: a couple of pop plays where you're like, oh my god, 1225 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 1: this is what happens when you throw the ball to 1226 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: d J Moore. And for me, I'm hoping that that's 1227 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: kind of a clue to Joe Brady of like, hey, 1228 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 1: like maybe you should throw it to d J Moore 1229 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: just a little bit. But he's been awfully disappointing. And 1230 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,479 Speaker 1: I really do believe that you probably have some depth 1231 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: on your team, especially if you're in a two receiver league. 1232 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: Three receiver league, it's gonna be a little bit more 1233 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: difficult to sit d J. Moore. But if you're in 1234 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 1: a two receiver league and you've got a good flex 1235 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 1: running back, like let's say you picked up James Robinson 1236 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: or drafted James Robinson, who's now your flex guy. It's 1237 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,439 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for me to get d J. Moore 1238 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,479 Speaker 1: into my lineup this week. So that's a little bit scary, 1239 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 1: and it's disappointing because I did put a third round 1240 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: grade on him. And then we also have Terry McLaurin, 1241 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: and this is a tough one too, because I love 1242 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: Terry mclauren and I think that he's a he's a 1243 00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 1: nice player. The problem is rohnder Beer has come out 1244 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: and already intimated that Dwayne Haskins is not going to 1245 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: be given a lot of opportunity to prove that he 1246 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: should be the quarterback of the football team. And now 1247 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 1: they've also got a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, 1248 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 1: who were exposed a little bit on Monday night. And 1249 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 1: I really do believe this is gonna be a bounce 1250 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: back game, especially for them on defense, and if Marcus 1251 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 1: Peters is back there, it's gonna be a difficult time 1252 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 1: for Terry McLaurin. Yeah, I mean, I think I agree 1253 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 1: with all of that. I think, but you make the 1254 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 1: point that, look, you may be in a situation where 1255 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: you sort of have to start those guys depending on 1256 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: how your roster shakes out. But maybe in in DFS 1257 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: you're you're sort of avoiding those plays. This week finally 1258 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 1: tied ends. Greg Olsen was starting to sort of do something, 1259 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 1: especially with Russ Cooking, but maybe not this week. Huh. Well, 1260 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 1: I don't particularly care for the matchup that's number one 1261 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 1: and number two. It was fun to see him out there. 1262 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 1: There was there were a couple of plays in that 1263 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys where greg Olson was just wide 1264 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: open where you're like, oh my god, says like greg 1265 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: Ols and of all people, he just like like in 1266 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the field, nobody around him. I'm gonna 1267 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 1: sit him this week. And then I do have Hayden 1268 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Hurst is a sin and this is I don't know, 1269 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: like this is an if he want, like it's so 1270 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: tough to pick like tight end sits like I don't know, 1271 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: like I don't know if if you have Hayden Hurst, 1272 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm your roster. It's not like you have three other 1273 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 1: guys that you can put out there. I will say though, 1274 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: the thing that was the most difficult last week was 1275 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: seeing him captable. First of all, he's playing the bear, 1276 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 1: so he catches a one yard touchdown and You're like, 1277 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: oh man, this guy. Anytime you have a tight end 1278 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 1: like that, You're like, oh my god, he's got his touchdown, 1279 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Like this is gonna be a monster game. You're like, 1280 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 1: is he gonna get twenty points? Could he get thirty? 1281 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,439 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a rat And that's the only 1282 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 1: thing he does that. You're like, there's nothing worse than 1283 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 1: seeing a seven point six? What is it? Some point six? 1284 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Some point one? What is it? Why can't I think 1285 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:56,000 Speaker 1: of this some point one? It's the worst score you 1286 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 1: can have if you score a touchdown in PPR seven 1287 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: point one. And you're like, that's it, Like I can't 1288 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 1: be upset at him because he kind of touched. But 1289 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 1: then you're like, wait, I'm a fantasy player. I can 1290 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 1: be upset for the dumbest reasons. So yes, I am 1291 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 1: upset Hayden Hurst. So unfortunately you get on this list, 1292 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 1: and you know what, I really do believe that I 1293 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: want to I don't want to let a lot of 1294 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 1: people know this. The backer's defense isn't awful. I'm just saying, yeah, whatever, 1295 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure it hurt. You're sold to say that, but 1296 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 1: it is. It is true that the packer's defense is 1297 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: not awful. And yeah, the Hayden Hurst thing frustrated the 1298 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 1: heck out of me. I saw the touchdown. I'm with you, 1299 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: I thought a huge day was coming. Seven point one. 1300 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: That's just become like shorthand for just having a bad 1301 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: like a good bad day or a bad good day. 1302 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Just just say he had a seven 1303 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 1: point one and everybody, this is the seven point one 1304 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 1: guy that's at seven point one. All right, we'll close 1305 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: out the show with some wire taps, those guys that 1306 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 1: you may have snagged in your waiver claims and whether 1307 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 1: or not you're going to start them this week. So 1308 01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 1: we talked about te Higgins and that Bengals passing and 1309 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,959 Speaker 1: they got the Jaguars this week. So if you grab 1310 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: te Higgins, would you start him in week four? No, 1311 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm not starting him. I'm he's gotta be. 1312 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be somebody that we're gonna start 1313 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 1: to utilize more as we get into the flex weeks 1314 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: because we'll probably have obviously have thinner rosters at that point. 1315 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,960 Speaker 1: I really like him and I like the matchup again. 1316 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: Now I look at Tyler Boyd being the number one 1317 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: part of this option or this offense. A J. Greens 1318 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: in the mix too, although I'm a little cooled on 1319 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 1: A J. Green, but definitely somebody that I want to 1320 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 1: have on my roster. I'm just not sure that I'm 1321 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,919 Speaker 1: starting him this week unless there's injury concerns or anything. 1322 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 1: And there's always make sure you check out our NFL 1323 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: dot Com fantasy rankings because somebody might be in a 1324 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: different situation than me. I just know personally, I'm probably 1325 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 1: not starting him in the legues that I haven't. Yeah, 1326 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's not a great matchup, at 1327 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 1: least on paper if you look at the f p A. 1328 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: So that's something to keep in mind. And what I 1329 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 1: saw last week was nice, but he was still very 1330 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: touchdown depending if you don't score the two touchdowns. It's 1331 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: a It's a rather blog game from Tee Higgins and 1332 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: maybe we're not talking about him quite as much. Miles 1333 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Gasket is the guy we've been talking about quite a bit. 1334 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 1: He looks like he's taken over the lead there in Miami. 1335 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: He's got the Seahawks this week. Would you start Miles 1336 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: Gascon if you haven't, Oh? Absolutely, this is I love 1337 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Miles Gascon. As you said, we talked about him last week, 1338 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 1: didn't quite get him into the lineup against the Jags. 1339 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,320 Speaker 1: I was a little apprehensive, But now I feel like 1340 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: this is a pretty good This is a pretty good 1341 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 1: running back that I think that we can trust. At 1342 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 1: least he's getting the opportunities. I like that he had 1343 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: five receptions. That is so huge and so against the 1344 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks team which again has struggled slowing down people throwing 1345 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,959 Speaker 1: the football. I think that he's a great start this week, 1346 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: especially too. I I'm for anybody who's missing Christian McCaffrey 1347 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 1: or anybody like that, sa Kwan Barkley Hunt. So I'm 1348 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: sorry forgot about you. That's how much. That's how much 1349 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 1: I've already moved on. But I do I I think that, yeah, 1350 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,920 Speaker 1: unless you're stacked, I can't imagine, like I will tweet 1351 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: us the roster where you have the conundrum of like 1352 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 1: you've got these great running backs that mild Gascon can't 1353 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 1: break your rotation. I want to see and I got 1354 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 1: this interested. Although I got I got you know, league, 1355 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:17,080 Speaker 1: I've got Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs. So yeah, look 1356 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: at myles. We probably wouldn't start for me, if if 1357 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 1: you are that deep in running back in one of 1358 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: your leagues, you probably didn't even put it away for 1359 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 1: clim For Miles gascon to the beginning, I do like 1360 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,440 Speaker 1: the way they're using him though, right you mentioned as 1361 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 1: a receiver as well all the targets that he got 1362 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: last Thursday night. The only problem is he's got a 1363 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 1: seven point one guy on the roster behind him in 1364 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, who keeps coming in and taking those touchdowns. 1365 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 1: So if we can somehow, you know, get that out 1366 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: of the way and get Miles Gasting into the end zone, 1367 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 1: it would be a whole lot better. But I would 1368 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 1: still put him in as a flex spot if you 1369 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: need some help in that spot. Finally, Brandon I against 1370 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, Uh, the Niners used him in a 1371 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 1: multiple different ways. Had seventy receiving yards, had thirty rushing yards, 1372 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 1: and a rushing touchdown. So if you have Brandon I, 1373 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: you would you consider him to sweet Oh, he's such 1374 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: an exciting player that I I I'm leaning towards it, 1375 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: But again, I feel like, unless I don't want to 1376 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 1: do anything where I'm benching Terry McLaurin for him, even 1377 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 1: though I have Terry McLaurin as a SID, I still 1378 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna be more prominently featured. And maybe 1379 01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 1: this will end up blowing up in my face and 1380 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: you can pull the tape and be like, Rank, you're 1381 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: a clown. Told you. But unless you know, unless I 1382 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 1: have a dire need at the running at the wide 1383 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 1: receiver position, excuse me, I'm probably not going to be 1384 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: starting Brandon. How about you? I think I'm probably not. 1385 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,440 Speaker 1: I definitely want him on my roster. I want to 1386 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: hold onto him because I liked seeing how Kyle Shanahan 1387 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: used him. They obviously have a plan for him to 1388 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: get him the football. The other thing about it is, 1389 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 1: I just wonder, and I know we said this the 1390 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, is George Kittle coming back? I 1391 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 1: mean they have gotten away from the metal lands and 1392 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 1: that turf that they have cursed so badly. I think 1393 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: they're back home on on regular grass. So I think 1394 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance that they get Orch Kittle back 1395 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 1: in there, which maybe completely changes the way they use you. 1396 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: But I think the I think the future is bright 1397 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 1: for him, so it's worth having him on your roster. 1398 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 1: Unless you really are at need to a wide receiver. 1399 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: This might not be the best week to to start him, 1400 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:15,440 Speaker 1: but I know you. I mean, look, you you were 1401 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 1: a fan of Pack twelve after Darks, you saw plenty 1402 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 1: of Brandon album's out of state. I'm sort of a 1403 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Sun Devil anyways. Yeah, that's true. You are starting. Our 1404 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 1: pal Will Selva from Good Morning Football I think has 1405 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: dubed you an honorary Sun Devil. So yeah, you got 1406 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: that going for you anyway. Uh, what we got for 1407 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 1: it going for us is that the show is over right, 1408 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: is it? We are done.
