1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, September nineteenth, twenty twenty three. Welcome

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's Me and your

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: Man MG. Mark is Grant joined by Michael F. Florio

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: and Florio. For the second straight week, we are opening

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: the show with a major injury that is shaking everything up.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: Last week it was Aaron Rodgers who was hurt after

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: just four plays. This week it's Nick Chubb who goes

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: down with a season ending knee injury. And I mean,

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: I guess your early reactions because I mean, it's a

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: guy like Nick Chubb. There's a guy who will fill

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: in for him, but there's really no replacing a guy

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: like Nick Chubb on your real roster or on your

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: fantasy roster.

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one sucks all the way around. Not only

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: has Nick Chubb been insanely good for fantasy and insanely

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: consistent and for the Browns and everything. For as good

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: as he is on the field, all you hear is

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: that he's an even better person off the field. And

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: we know that he already hurt this knee injuries, so

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: hope being that he is back and doing Nick Chubb

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: things next season. But this was this was certainly a

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: gut punch watching it last night.

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely was.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Obviously the next man up is Jerome Ford, and he's

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the guy who had a bit of a role in

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the offense already was catching passes and the like. Now

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: he steps into a full workload. I'm understanding he's not

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: going to give you equal production to Nick Chubb. What

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: are your expectations for Jerome Ford at this point?

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: I think he could be a solid RB two that

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: has some week RB one weeks like last night, sixteen

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: carries one hundred and six yards four catches I believe

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: it was, you know, three catches for twenty five yards

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: and a touchdown. He just missed a second touchdown on

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: that long breakaway run by a half of yards, So

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: if he gets in on that one, we're talking about

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: him going for even more FAB. I think if you're

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: in a FAB league tonight, you gotta be ready to

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: spend at least forty maybe even fifty.

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: It all depends on your league. You know your league

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: better than me and.

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: How much people usually tend to spend. But I saw

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: leagues where Kien Williams in week one was going for

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: sixty percent of your FAB budget. So I think Ford

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: will be around this same and I think he's the

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: lead back. Even if they were to bring in, say

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: a Kareem Hunt, or if they made a move for

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: cam Akers, whatever they're going to do. They seem to

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: really like Jerome Ford and chose him to be the

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: backup when there was other options available. So I don't

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get the Nick Chubb workload, but I

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: think he could be get like seventy five percent of it.

53
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: Let's say I do think he's gonna get a lot

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: of work. In fact, Kevin Stefanki has already sort of intimated.

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: He said, look, you can't replace Nick Chubb, but Jerome

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Ford's gonna be the guy who gets a whole lot

57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: of work. So he's gonna get a lot of opportunity.

58
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: And I do think you're gonna see a lot of

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: people spending all their fab If you didn't go out

60
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: and blow all your fab last week on a guy

61
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: like Puka Nakua or Kyron Williams, chances are you're gonna

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: blow a lot of it this week to.

63
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Get Jerome Ford in your lineups.

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see how he produces going forward, but we

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: know he's going to be the guy there in Cleveland.

66
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: As for Nick Chub, we certainly wish him the best.

67
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's able to heal up and get back on

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the football field as soon as possible. Absolutely loved watching

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: him with a devastating blow to watch him go out

70
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: last night. Let's get some of the top waiver wire

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: targets for this week, Florio, who do you.

72
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: Like at quarterback?

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson who's been playing well, Sam Hall who adds

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: some value with his legs, And then you spoke about

75
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Jordan Love earlier on the show. Kyron Williams, who I

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: didn't have on this list originally because I thought he

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: was way too highly rostered, Matt Brita in case saquon

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: his hurt, Zach Moss, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill, and

79
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: then Rosehawan Johnson just for some late season upside at

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver, Nico Collins needs to be picked up. Don't

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: overlook too too at well just because of what Pooka's doing.

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims Junior deserves more run and should be picked up.

83
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Jaden Reid had two touchdowns yesterday. Tank Dell's scored a

84
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: touchdown yesterday. Jalen Hyatt it needs to get more playing time.

85
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: He is a sneaky pickup right now, and then some

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: tight end Sam Laporter. We spoke a lot about Hayden Hurst.

87
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: I know he plays tonight, but great matchup next week

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: against Seattle. Zach Ertz is getting so much volume as

89
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: his hunter Henry that you cannot continue to ignore those.

90
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: Guys on the waiver wire.

91
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: So you can check those guys out.

92
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: If you want more waiver wire goodness, checkout Matt Ocatta's

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: weekly column at nfl dot com Slash Waiver Wire.

94
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: Talk about a few of these though.

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: If you have your top waiver priority or if you're

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna blow a bunch of fab this week, who is

97
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: the guy you're going after?

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: Nico Collins. He is the real deal.

99
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: Like he went out yesterday, had nine targets, seven catches,

100
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: a buck forty six and a touchdown.

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: But it's not just like it was.

102
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: A one week thing.

103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: Through two weeks he's averaging double digit targets per game.

104
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: He's averaging one hundred and thirteen yards per game, and

105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: just under twenty one Fantasy points per game.

106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: You gotta pick this guy up.

107
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Definitely.

108
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Nico Collins gonna be the wide receiver one there in Houston.

109
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: We talked about Gus Edwards though.

110
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: He's another guy you should be targeting off the waiver

111
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: wires simply because the running back situation around the league

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: lit'll beit questionable. You got Cam Akers who looks like

113
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: he's out in Los Angeles for Shot Penny out in Philadelphia.

114
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley maybe banged up this week. You're gonna need

115
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: running back help. Gus Edwards is the guy that you want.

116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: We know the Ravens are gonna run the football a lot.

117
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be split between he and Justice Hill. But

118
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: we know Edwards can be explosive. We've seen it in

119
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: the past. If you need running back help, he should

120
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: be on your roster.

121
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: We're gonna go through this again.

122
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Who's another guy that should be heavily invested in this week?

123
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Zach Moss. I know we had questions about this Colts backfield.

124
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: He played all but one snap yesterday. He had eighteen carries,

125
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: four targets, went for over one hundred yards, scored a touchdown.

126
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: I know he's not gonna play the Texans every week,

127
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: but when you're seeing volume like that, it is way

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: too good to ignore and to leave on the waiver wires.

129
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: Zach Moss needs to be a priority pick up this week.

130
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Since we're going off the running back theme, Kyron Williams

131
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: will mention him again after what he did against the

132
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. He looks like the RB

133
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: one ninety six percent of the snaps. That is hard

134
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: to ignore. Ronnie Rivers got a couple of opportunities basically

135
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: when Williams needed to catch his breath. But this looks

136
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: like his backfield for the foreseeable future.

137
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: For what a little bit deeper? Who's a deep waiver

138
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: wire target.

139
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: People should know about Tank Dell. Do not ignore him.

140
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: And I know people are gonna be like, oh, he's

141
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: your size, but it doesn't matter. He had ten targets yesterday,

142
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown, seven catches seventy two yards. He also

143
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: had a second touchdown that was called back due to penalty.

144
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: And this happened in the preseason. People are like, oh,

145
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: this guy can't score touchdowns. He led college football in

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: red zone touchdowns last season. Just because he's small does

147
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: not matter. He can get opened very quickly. He's going

148
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: to earn volume.

149
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 4: C J.

150
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: Stroud said, give me this guy in the NFL draft.

151
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna have big plans for.

152
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: Him, So Tank Dell is a deeper waiver wire pick.

153
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Also to to at Well, who was on Florio's list. There,

154
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: I know, right now we are engraving Puka Nakua's name

155
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Rookie of the ar your Trophy after

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: two weeks. But let's not overlook what to to at

157
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: Well has done. He also had one hundred and nineteen

158
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards in the first game of the season for

159
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the Rams, and he came back in week two another

160
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: solid outing seven catches for seventy seven yards. Nikua and

161
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Atwell are the two guys that Matthew Stafford is targeting

162
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: heavily in the passing game. And look, he's another small guy,

163
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: but he's finding ways to get open, especially in the

164
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: middle of his own coverage. And if you need wide

165
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: receiver help or just want some depth at the position,

166
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: to tow at Well is a name that you should know.

167
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: So if you're adding guys, you gotta drop somebody. Who

168
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: are you saying goodbye to.

169
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: At this point, I'm dropping Rashad Bateman, who's averaging three

170
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: targets per game, who is playing less snaps than Nelson.

171
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: Aguilar right now. Like I know, we all.

172
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Not we all, but the fantas community loves hyping this

173
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: guy up. Zay Flowers is the receiver you want there.

174
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: Get rid of Baitman.

175
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: And even that was with you know, Odell Beckham getting

176
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: hurt too, Al Agler still getting some opportunity. I have

177
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: another Rashad. This one is Rashad Penny, and I talk

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: about him a little bit earlier. Didn't play at all

179
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: in Week one, barely played in Week two. When he

180
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: was playing, the Eagles already had the game pretty much

181
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: well in hand at that point, the big holding call

182
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: that ended up erasing a touchdown to AJ Brown. I

183
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: just don't see a lot of opportunities for Rashad Penny

184
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: getting on the field. So at this point, there's no

185
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: point of him hanging in on your fantasy roster.

186
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get some of your questions.

187
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: As we like to do at this time in the show,

188
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: we went to websites, Twitter, dot com and pulled some

189
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: of the things that you guys had on your mind.

190
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: So we'll rip through a few of them here.

191
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with this one from Nate, who wants to

192
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: know is pooka him your thoughts.

193
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 4: Yes, next question.

194
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he had twenty targets yesterday after having fifteen

195
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: in Week one, one hundred and forty seven yards after

196
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and nine. Like the way that he is

197
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: being used right now. I thought he'd be Robert Woods.

198
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: He's actually being Cooper Cup. And one thing, Marcus, I

199
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: think maybe as a community we kind of forgot the

200
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: genius that is Sean McVay after last season.

201
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: I think we did because last year the offensive line

202
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: was bad. Matthew Stafford was always under pressure, couldn't get

203
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: the ball out.

204
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: This year, Stafford looks like he has time.

205
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: He's delivering the ball efficiently, effectively to his guys.

206
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: Poopa Nakula looks great.

207
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I saw somebody tweet that I hope when Cooper Cup

208
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: comes back he gets to play the Poop and Nakula

209
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: role in the Rams offense. That's kind of what it

210
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: looks like. Moving on to the next question, this one

211
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: from Jonathan. Is it time to bench justin fields for

212
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones?

213
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: No, only because Daniel Jones on a short week is

214
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: getting the San Francisco forty nine ers on the road

215
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: without Saquon Barkley. Like the odds are stacked against him,

216
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs defense have shut down Golf and Trevor

217
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: Lawrence to start the year. It's no cakewalk next week

218
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: for Justin Fields. I would still play Fields over Jones.

219
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: I would still play Fields, and I think in balance,

220
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: those two guys are gonna end up being sort of

221
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: about the same this year. So if you've got both

222
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: of them, you're gonna have the headache of week to

223
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: week trying to figure out which one you want to start.

224
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: But I do understand the concerned because the Bears offense

225
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: has looked awful in the first couple weeks of the season.

226
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Moving along, this next one is from Mike, who wants

227
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: to know is Kyle Pitts ever going to be utilized

228
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: in the Falcons offense?

229
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: Deep sigh.

230
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so frustrating to see John new Smith

231
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: get used over him. I'm just gonna I did not

232
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: see that coming. But I'm willing to give Kyle Pitts

233
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: one more shot because next week they played the Detroit Lions,

234
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: who have allowed the most yards to tight end so

235
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: far this season, and that's not even playing Travis Kelce

236
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: in Week one, So it seems like a weakness there.

237
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: I'm willing to give him another shot.

238
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: If he struggles in week three, yeah, then it's time

239
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: we have a real serious talk.

240
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: I think we need to have a serious talk.

241
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: But I you know, because you've invested in him, it's

242
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: hard to move along depending on what your other tight

243
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: end options are out there. Maybe you're scouring the waiver

244
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: wire and trying to stream. But it is apparent that

245
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons don't want to heavily involve him in the

246
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: passing game. I don't think they really want to throw

247
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: the ball unless they have to. They kind of had

248
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: to on Sunday, Desmond Ritter had thirty two pass attempts.

249
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be the norm, and

250
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Pitts is ultimately going to be frustrating

251
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: for a lot of people all year long.

252
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: It's not about talent. It's basically just about scheme.

253
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Next one up from Spencer wants to know what's going

254
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: on with Jamar Chase. Any answers there.

255
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 4: It's a Joe Burrow issue. It is not a Jamar

256
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 4: Chase issue.

257
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow has not completed a pass of twenty or

258
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: more yards this season, and on pass attempts of ten

259
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: or more air yards. He's five of twenty one with

260
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: no touchdowns, one interception and a twenty one point nine rating.

261
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: Like the issue is on Joe Burrow right now. He

262
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: is not right, he is not healthy, but he's dragging

263
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: down Jamar Chase.

264
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: Unfortunately.

265
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: George Chase is going to be fine. You would believe

266
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: it's sort of like with Kyle Pitts. It's not about talent,

267
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: it's not about you know, the player individually, it's.

268
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: About what's going on around him.

269
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: And right now, until the Bengals pass the game picks

270
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: things up, Jamar Chase is going to be sort of

271
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: an up and down guy. But again, you probably spent

272
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: the second or third overall pick on Jamar Chase. Do

273
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: you really have somebody better on your bench that you're

274
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with. It's frustrating, but keep the faith and

275
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: believe the Bengals are gonna get this thing figured it out.

276
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: David wants to know, So Drake London.

277
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: What.

278
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 4: Drake London is going to be?

279
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: What Drake London kind of has been through the first

280
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: two weeks, Like he saw seven targets in this game,

281
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: which isn't a whole lot more than he saw in

282
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: Week one. He just had some better results called a touchdown.

283
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: He's going to be, in my opinion, frustrating week to

284
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: week all year long.

285
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: That is going to apply to all the Falcons pass catchers.

286
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be up and down. Weirdly, the guy

287
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: you could probably count on the most is mac Hollins,

288
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: and only because your expectations for mac Hollins aren't really

289
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: that high to begin with. So I mean, I guess, yeah,

290
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: it is what it is. With Drake London, you can

291
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: start him. He's a low and wide receiver too, who

292
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: may occasionally have some spike weeks last one broken Ninja

293
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: wants to know should we keep Garrett Wilson or trade

294
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: him out.

295
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: I would be trying really hard right now to trade

296
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson because it looks like, oh he's still afloat

297
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: with Zach Wilson. You saw that amazing catch he had

298
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football. Then he had a sixty I

299
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: think it was like a sixty eight yard touchdown yesterday.

300
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Besides those two plays, it has been extremely rough for

301
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson with Zach Wilson, and I don't see it

302
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: getting any easier. So I would try to sell high

303
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: while he still has that name recognition and he's still

304
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: putting up pretty good stats.

305
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would try if you could.

306
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: I think the problem is everybody in your league knows

307
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is for the New York Jets. Maybe

308
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: hang on to him because there's you know, there's an

309
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: idea that maybe the Jet squad and make a move

310
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: and try to bring in another quarterback. We'll see if

311
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: they ride with Zach Wilson, it's going to be a

312
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: struggle all year long, but maybe they get somebody else

313
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: who can sort of help the situation, and then maybe

314
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: that gives Garrett Wilson a little bit more value going forward. Oh,

315
