Speaker 1: Friday obviously wasn't here. I heard you had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun holding down the floor on Friday shows like Sarcasm.
Speaker 1: What was it fun? It was fun today? Should we
Speaker 1: ask Alex if it was funny? I think Alex had
Speaker 1: a good time, Alex, did you have a good time
Speaker 1: hosting on BFFs. Of course had a blast. But it's
Speaker 1: just so hard trying to follow up the legendary Frankie Stanford.
Speaker 1: Should we talk? We talk about this. We talked about
Speaker 1: who I am? Greg, So we talked about this because
Speaker 1: he was just saying, did you guys refer to me
Speaker 1: as the no no, no, no no. But he was like,
Speaker 1: you got that credit to to to the legend Chris
Speaker 1: Venture of the Man and Corey Parson? What a guy
Speaker 1: like none of this? Like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: I just I just couldn't handle that killing kindness? Greg,
Speaker 1: That was alright? That was gonna go back and watch
Speaker 1: it actually because based on what you told me, it
Speaker 1: sounded fun. So I go back and do that. Friday
Speaker 1: was Friday was great? Uh. I went to a burger
Speaker 1: spot that had like video games at my table, like
Speaker 1: old school video games like GameCube, Xbox. I was playing
Speaker 1: duck Hunt. It was it was great. I had a
Speaker 1: bunch of fried foods. You know, you know I love
Speaker 1: you know, I love my fried foods. Greg. I went
Speaker 1: to another bar which had an arcade, and at night
Speaker 1: I got to meet John Starks. It was it was great.
Speaker 1: We went out dancing on Friday night. Saturday, stayed in,
Speaker 1: stayed in all day long, watched the watch some very
Speaker 1: grim movies. Greg, who was I haven't seen that are
Speaker 1: great movies but American History x oh yeah and seven
Speaker 1: nice it was. I mean those are too good flicks.
Speaker 1: It's very like but they're very grim, you know very much. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that kind of like put me in a weird mood.
Speaker 1: And then obviously football happened yesterday, so it was like
Speaker 1: get a really nice birthday weekend. It was great. Do
Speaker 1: do you feel real the jets kind of ruined? Do
Speaker 1: you feel refreshed after your day off from work? I
Speaker 1: do you look at good mood? So Yoda's looking like
Speaker 1: under your eyes like I would go in the morning,
Speaker 1: like in the mirror, I have these massive bags on
Speaker 1: your payes I normally and you don't you seem refreshed? Well?
Speaker 1: I want to sleep kind of late actually last night,
Speaker 1: but like it's different. You walk up the pep in
Speaker 1: your step like you go right to work, and it
Speaker 1: was great. It's true, is in fact atual. My weekend's fine.
Speaker 1: What did I do? We had a friend's giving? I
Speaker 1: told you on a Friday night, friends giving on November nine. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we're all very busy, man, We're all very busy.
Speaker 1: So did the friends giving, got some some some stuffing,
Speaker 1: some turkey. Greg, we didn't have stuffing or turkey. Um.
Speaker 1: I made pot look yeah, exactly, we need we need
Speaker 1: Junia cream spinach, which was delicious. Um. Saturday, I saw
Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody. That was cool. Okay movie movie it I
Speaker 1: mean I saw the preview. I know what I don't know.
Speaker 1: You looked at me like, okay, it's about mean right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I was said to talk to Martino
Speaker 1: about that tomorrow because he wasn't asking me to say it.
Speaker 1: So I saw it. That was cool for some tasty pizza.
Speaker 1: And then yesterday I watched a lot of fool well,
Speaker 1: good thing you don't have to watch the Giants, which
Speaker 1: you'll be doing tonight, and know for a fact you
Speaker 1: didn't watch any jets so um, I did start the
Speaker 1: Jets defense as I told you I would, So that
Speaker 1: went great. I watched. I mean a lot of people
Speaker 1: did completely misread the situation. You know, it's funny and
Speaker 1: there's no way of knowing that the Jets we're just
Speaker 1: gonna completely give up playing football. I do pick up
Speaker 1: league of my dad every year, or just picked every
Speaker 1: game that you know for spread, just get my game.
Speaker 1: And I had the Bills all week because I like
Speaker 1: doing Why am I picking the Bills? And then I
Speaker 1: switched to the Jets on Sunday morning. So it sounds
Speaker 1: like you've had better better football Sundays. Not great, Bob,
Speaker 1: not not great at all, you know, like we normally do. Greg,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know. We talked about our leagues a
Speaker 1: little bit, right, of course. So yesterday I have my
Speaker 1: good buddy my house. We're watching football together and I'm
Speaker 1: no NotI and I'm referring to my team as the
Speaker 1: little Engine that could, because in my home league, my
Speaker 1: team is not very good. I'm I'm like the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. I'm a very foo gazy
Speaker 1: five and four. Right now, I think I have the
Speaker 1: second or third fewest points scored in the league. Right yesterday,
Speaker 1: I put up a hundred and fifty points greg I
Speaker 1: Guess Monster Game and David Johnson Monster Game and a
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. Feeling good about myself, like Bordles in the lineup,
Speaker 1: Not that I wanted him to be, but he was fine.
Speaker 1: Fifteen points tonight, Barkley, I don't feel great about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say I have I have a seventy chance
Speaker 1: of losing tonight. It's half PPR. I looked at his
Speaker 1: game log. The guy basically hasn't had less than like
Speaker 1: nineteen points in every single But there were just a
Speaker 1: few things that just went wrong for me, like Mike
Speaker 1: Evans dropping the touch down was huge because I have
Speaker 1: Evans in my lineup. Michael Thomas scoring two very flukey
Speaker 1: touchdowns against me, the first one which if you see
Speaker 1: the replay, what are the what are the NFL officials doing?
Speaker 1: And I know, you know I'm talking from my experience.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's Michael Thomas owners out there that are
Speaker 1: very excited about it, but it was not a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The first one was not a touchdown. I mean you
Speaker 1: saw it was bobbled. And then the second one. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Bengals are just a terrible team and give
Speaker 1: the ball up right before the half. Michael Thomps ends
Speaker 1: up scoring a touchdown. So looks like I'm gonna lose
Speaker 1: in what's likely my best game of the season. So
Speaker 1: I feel pretty sad about that. And then the Jets,
Speaker 1: and then I lost in fantasy back. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: great fantasy Sunday for me either, but Judy, Judy had
Speaker 1: a great fantasy so all right, well that's good. That
Speaker 1: should be the first place team in her league. Look
Speaker 1: at her to be a team that has hug Girl
Speaker 1: because general the Steelers on Thursday night and then everything else.
Speaker 1: What really yesterday she even benched Aaron Jones for Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: and yeah, and had I had those two closely ranked.
Speaker 1: I had Aaron Jones and all my dfs. I looked
Speaker 1: at your ranks, I looked at Jake's ranks, and it
Speaker 1: was all very very close. And I was like, ju
Speaker 1: just do whatever you wanted. I wanna go to Jordan Howard.
Speaker 1: And we had her. I had Aaron Jones in I
Speaker 1: do wanna go to Jordan Howard And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: do your thing, and she all said more Ingram on
Speaker 1: the bench had Ingram and Aaron Jones on the bench
Speaker 1: for Jordan Howard yesterday, which is she won. And then
Speaker 1: given that she's a rookie, she was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: so the three games before the playoffs start like it sucks.
Speaker 1: I played the worst teams. I'm like, no, that's that's good.
Speaker 1: You play the terrible teams. She plays literally the last
Speaker 1: place team next week, the second to last place team
Speaker 1: the week after, and then she plays like the sixth
Speaker 1: seed the week after that. So she's in a good shot,
Speaker 1: good spot to make the playoffs. She's very happy. And
Speaker 1: how about this before you getting the football, I'm going
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So next week we are, um, it's her birthday,
Speaker 1: as you know, and so I have wedding. I have
Speaker 1: wedding on Friday on her birthday. Saturday, we're going into
Speaker 1: Philly with her family for the birthday. So then Sunday
Speaker 1: we are gonna wind up meeting with a rabbi who's
Speaker 1: gonna be doing our wedding year. He wanted to meet
Speaker 1: with us whatever, and so I have meat with him
Speaker 1: Sunday at noon. I was like, okay, whatever. I didn't
Speaker 1: think of anything all that like Judy were in your town.
Speaker 1: Let's just gonna get the rabbi right now. It's just
Speaker 1: get it over and done. One type of thing. So
Speaker 1: we hung on the phone. It's like, what about you
Speaker 1: know football's on? Well, yeah, but like I gotta do
Speaker 1: we just gotta do this. You get over with so wow.
Speaker 1: Like so we've got to the point where like I'm
Speaker 1: concerned that football is on. That is awesome, and you're
Speaker 1: willing to do this, like I just didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: think because we didn't get back from my parents house
Speaker 1: to New York. Whatever time we're gonna leave, you're gonna
Speaker 1: miss the one o'clock games. Do you have you have?
Speaker 1: Do have reads it on your phone to watch? Like
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the point where it's happening. You
Speaker 1: want to watch the Baking Show on Monday nights, And
Speaker 1: Duty's like, no, tonight, It's very excited tonight. And I'm
Speaker 1: excited to watch the Baking Show instead of Giants, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Oh Man, and I had a tweet last
Speaker 1: night about we keep getting the Cowboys in primetime, and
Speaker 1: I will say admittedly I tweeted that out in the
Speaker 1: first half. The second half of the game was, it
Speaker 1: was very competitive game, fine, whatever. Honestly, I watched the
Speaker 1: last two minutes of these This is just a terrible
Speaker 1: game tonight. Man. I just don't know how this happens.
Speaker 1: And Giants and I know that they were probably hoping
Speaker 1: for Jimmy g going up against Odell Beckham and Sae
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and you know, two teams probably right around
Speaker 1: five hundred. That's probably what the envisioned before the season.
Speaker 1: But that is not the case. Now. I know. It's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to flex out a Monday night game
Speaker 1: because you can't. No, I know, it's not like a thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know, it's like not possible to do. And I
Speaker 1: understand why because teams know in advanced alrighty, Like we
Speaker 1: have scheduling just whenever we have like what one to
Speaker 1: win team, how many wins of the Giants have one one?
Speaker 1: We have a we have a game with two teams
Speaker 1: that combined for three wins. So um, exciting, not gonna
Speaker 1: be great, But we did just get news of another
Speaker 1: torn a c O great nd RB yep, so sucks
Speaker 1: for the Eagles defense, for Eagles fans right now. Tough
Speaker 1: game for the Eagles last night. It seems like their
Speaker 1: offense can't get anything going in the first half. Credits
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys defense, But this was a secondary that
Speaker 1: we were already targeting for a poll saying wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper was fine last night. I was expecting him
Speaker 1: to have a better game than he actually did. He
Speaker 1: was all right. I mean he's still you know, led
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and receiving like he was supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Just didn't put up a monster game like I thought.
Speaker 1: But this is gonna be an Area's target moving forward.
Speaker 1: Is uh, the Eagle secondary with wide receivers. And then
Speaker 1: obviously the other big news is Cooper Cup. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: expected Cooper Cup. That's brutal torn a c l I
Speaker 1: was reading Dr David Chow on Twitter yesterday and he
Speaker 1: was saying it really had nothing to do with the
Speaker 1: torn m c l um previously. You don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm with you because this reminds me a
Speaker 1: lot of what Dr Ray says, right when compensation, like
Speaker 1: when you're trying to compensate for one injury. This isn't
Speaker 1: one of those over compensation things. This is when you
Speaker 1: were When He's really me, it's when you're rehabbing that
Speaker 1: knee and you really have strengthening that MCL probably weak exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it sucks. It sucks. Everyone knows him a Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup owner CP lover sucks. Yeah, but you're also a
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds lover, Craig and I made I made sure
Speaker 1: we didn't drop him justin CA. Yeah. I mean again,
Speaker 1: that's a deeper league, twelve teams. I think we have
Speaker 1: eight or nine bench spots in that league. So we
Speaker 1: held on to Josh Reynolds in case something else would
Speaker 1: happen to Cooper Cup. So that was a smart moved
Speaker 1: by you. But it looks like, you know, tomorrow, when
Speaker 1: we really get into the waiver wire, Josh Reynolds is
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those wide receivers we talked about
Speaker 1: a lot. I tweeted something out from Adam Levitton earlier
Speaker 1: on now that's a Jewish sorry man um that he's
Speaker 1: He's basically been the number three wide receiver whenever Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup doesn't play. But the target scare, the target share
Speaker 1: isn't there, so so it's not great. He did have
Speaker 1: a game where he scored two touchdowns. I think what
Speaker 1: it does for the rams wide receivers. So we just
Speaker 1: get this out of the way now, is Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods, they're in trench as top fift team
Speaker 1: wide receivers every single week, pretty much where they were.
Speaker 1: But instead of Josh Reynolds kind of taking over where
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is and having like three top twenty wide receivers,
Speaker 1: I would say he's more of like solid mid range
Speaker 1: wide receiver three so it might be the top thirty
Speaker 1: thirty five wide receivers. So I agree with that totally.
Speaker 1: I think it's just about being comfortable with a particular
Speaker 1: wide receiver because you know that Josh Reynolds running all
Speaker 1: the same routes the Cooper Cup does and filling in
Speaker 1: the exact role, and we know interchangeable these wide receivers are.
Speaker 1: But Jared Goff just as a comfort factor checking down
Speaker 1: at Cooper Cup, the whole getting into the lead together thing,
Speaker 1: the roommate roommate thing, It was real with Cooper Cop
Speaker 1: and I think he feels very comfortable Jared gofro to
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, throwing to Brandon Cooks, certainly checking down to
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, even the tight ends and Gerald Everett and
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee. I don't think he has that same from
Speaker 1: feeling with Josh Reynolds, who will be there. He'll have chances,
Speaker 1: just's not nearly the type of chance that the Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup had. UM. I agree Robert Woods, Brandon Cooks, UM
Speaker 1: they will be solidified as top fifty wide receivers. I
Speaker 1: will say this for Robert Woods hasn't scored since Week
Speaker 1: four though, but every week's been over seventy yards. Basically
Speaker 1: what he did yesterday maybe not the best, the highest
Speaker 1: ceiling in like standard leagues, but for PPR, I mean,
Speaker 1: what more can you ask if we are four catches
Speaker 1: for eighty nine yards yesterday. He also always runs it
Speaker 1: two or three times a game. Yesterday was three for
Speaker 1: seventeen and that's basically the same game you get from
Speaker 1: Robert Woods each and every week. I will say this
Speaker 1: with Brandon Cooks with a fantastic game yesterday ten for
Speaker 1: a hundred, also on a rushing touchdown, so on one
Speaker 1: of the drives of the Rams have field goal on
Speaker 1: they did that thing where Jared Gofflick passes it right
Speaker 1: in front of him like one yard and and Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks rushed to the edge and didn't get in the
Speaker 1: end zone, fell short of it, and it was very interesting,
Speaker 1: and I saw Sean McVeigh really angry and upset, and
Speaker 1: you don't really see that with Sean McVeigh very often.
Speaker 1: And he was basically saying the Brandon Cooks, instead of
Speaker 1: going more east west, you gotta cut it up earlier,
Speaker 1: you gotta cut over earlier because the blocks are there.
Speaker 1: You gotta take your blocks and go. He went outside,
Speaker 1: and by the time he basically they were able to
Speaker 1: use the sideline as an extra defender. Right the very
Speaker 1: next time they got almost to the exact same spot,
Speaker 1: and that was on the nine yard line, they called
Speaker 1: the reverse. I mean they were in the verse a
Speaker 1: million times and just the straight handoff of the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: It was the exact same play, but instead of throwing
Speaker 1: it forward, they just ran the reverse right, same exact play,
Speaker 1: and on that particular play, Brandon Cooks cut it right
Speaker 1: up and he scored no problem, the exact same play
Speaker 1: call just executed better. Very impressive job by Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: very impressive job by Sean McVeigh. Yesterday, Todd Gurley in
Speaker 1: this one sixteen twenty and a touchdown. He also had
Speaker 1: three forty in the air. It's amazing when Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: has one sixty and one and fantasy and players that
Speaker 1: play Todd Gurley you're like, feel you survived that it
Speaker 1: wasn't that. That's that's I swear to you, that's what
Speaker 1: I felt playing Todd Girley. That's Judy felt playing Todd Gurley.
Speaker 1: He had one sixty and one, Like, at least he
Speaker 1: didn't have two and two on me, you know, at
Speaker 1: least he didn't have two touchdowns. At least you didn't
Speaker 1: have five receptions. At least you didn't have two hundred yard.
Speaker 1: That's at the level we're at with Todd Gurley. We
Speaker 1: know that he's gunning from for the touchdown record. He's
Speaker 1: already come out and said that. Uh. And you know
Speaker 1: they talked to him after the game too. You get
Speaker 1: quotes from Todd Gurley and he says, all right, you
Speaker 1: know it was it was a good game, but we
Speaker 1: could do better, right and and that's just the mark
Speaker 1: of a great team right now and a great coach.
Speaker 1: And what you brought up about Sean McVeigh about how
Speaker 1: you know he's he was frustrated with Brandon Cooks, but
Speaker 1: then the next time they run that play, the player
Speaker 1: actually executes what he wants him to do. That's the
Speaker 1: mark of a great coach. So we'll see if we'll
Speaker 1: see if the Jets can find that Todd Bows will
Speaker 1: not be fired today. And I understand why because if
Speaker 1: you fired Todd Bowls and Jeremy Bates right now, which
Speaker 1: absolutely deserves to be fired both with them, who do
Speaker 1: you promote? Who's who's the head coach? There's nobody else
Speaker 1: on the staff that even has head coaching experience there is.
Speaker 1: The only one is the coach us Yeah, he coach
Speaker 1: at U C l A. But like, are we doing that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't it doesn't really make sense. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they know at this point the
Speaker 1: only other winnable game on the schedule realistically is they
Speaker 1: play the Bills one more time. Is winnable? I don't know,
Speaker 1: plages often. Twice they faced the Patriots, twice, they face
Speaker 1: the Titans, they faced the I believe the Texans, like
Speaker 1: the don't. Only other game the Jets have a chance
Speaker 1: to win and they might actually be favored in is
Speaker 1: against the Bills. That's the only other game. So let's
Speaker 1: go top five pick welcome to the club. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're all in the same club every year, Greg, Let
Speaker 1: me stick with this, Let me stick with this. Ram
Speaker 1: was game on the other side with the Seahawks, Mike
Speaker 1: Davis Sean Penny out of nowhere twelve for one oh
Speaker 1: eight and a touchdown. Where did this come from? This
Speaker 1: is exactly what we talked about with Pete Carroll every
Speaker 1: single week we bring this up to as much as
Speaker 1: you know. This was the game where and I wrote
Speaker 1: about Mike Davis in my uh my best Fantasy five
Speaker 1: last week of players I'm higher on than the consensus
Speaker 1: because in the games where Chris Carson was out, he
Speaker 1: played the snap right and he had at least twenty
Speaker 1: two touches in each of those games. You just can't
Speaker 1: trust anything from Pete Carroll. He and he's very similar
Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick in that way where when you think
Speaker 1: you have Pete Carroll figured out, you really don't. There
Speaker 1: that I don't think it's Pete Carroll. I think it's
Speaker 1: the g M. Johns Schneid everything. Like, listen, we draft
Speaker 1: this dude in the first round, you're gonna play him
Speaker 1: like you can't use the Chris Carson excuse anymore, I
Speaker 1: want you to play the guy we drafted. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's definitely a chance of that. But we've also
Speaker 1: seen other games where shot Penny randomly gets involved and
Speaker 1: then the next game he's not involved, So I it
Speaker 1: could definitely be what you're talking about. But you know,
Speaker 1: people were already asking me as we shot Penny worth
Speaker 1: the pickup. And you know, this hip injury has been
Speaker 1: constant for Chris Carson right now. So anytime you see
Speaker 1: a guy get double digit touches and run as efficiently
Speaker 1: as he is, he's definitely on our radars. So I
Speaker 1: do think that we will feel that same way about
Speaker 1: Richard Penney. And then we gotta talk about Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: who's finally starting to rush the ball again, which is
Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday. We're talking about Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: another quarterback we think rushes the ball that finally turning around.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that guy and Russell Wilson when we
Speaker 1: come back. Daily Rodo dot com learned from the game's

Speaker 1: dot Com. Visit today Ye Fantasy Best Friends Forever Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. That's Frank Staffel. I am. He wants
Speaker 1: to point out something about Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson, you
Speaker 1: look over the past two weeks, this was a storyline
Speaker 1: for both his fantasy value and I guess real life
Speaker 1: value as well, was that he wasn't running the football.
Speaker 1: That's part of what makes Russell Wilson so dangerous. And
Speaker 1: last week five for forty one that was a season high,
Speaker 1: and in this week nine for nine two, which obviously
Speaker 1: he's he's exceeded. He's set a season high two weeks
Speaker 1: in a row. And I was talking to you about
Speaker 1: this during the break. He's doing his best Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: in personation from last year where he's not throwing for
Speaker 1: a lot of yards. He hasn't exceeded two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty eight yards in any game this year, aside from
Speaker 1: Week one where he threw but he has multiple touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in every game but one he has gone. He
Speaker 1: has three touchdown passes in four of his last five games.
Speaker 1: But he's not throwing the ball all that much, not
Speaker 1: throwing for a lot of yards, so it seems like
Speaker 1: his season has been really flukey. I do like the
Speaker 1: fact that he's been rushing the ball more, but in
Speaker 1: these more competitive games, I think that's what he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to do. I think we're on the verge of
Speaker 1: seeing that big Russell Wilson second half, like we do
Speaker 1: every single year. I do worry about some positive touchdown
Speaker 1: regression because, as we all know to this point, the
Speaker 1: Seahawks lead the league in rushing percentage, but again that
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage that means the amount of passes thrown in
Speaker 1: which they are actually touchdowns. For Russell Wilson eight point
Speaker 1: five percent this year. His previous career high was seven percent.
Speaker 1: Last year it was six point one percent, and he
Speaker 1: led the league in touchdown passes with thirty four. He's
Speaker 1: on pace four you know, just about forty touchdown throwers
Speaker 1: this year with just two d eighteen passing yards per game.
Speaker 1: It's just it's been a really weird season for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I will say I like the fact that he's been
Speaker 1: rushing the ball more of the past two weeks. Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: maybe that chance to buy low is upon us by
Speaker 1: it right now. It's just so weird, right But talking
Speaker 1: about a player who has thrown from multiple touchdown passes
Speaker 1: in every single game but one this year, we're talking
Speaker 1: about him as a bilow. It's uh, it's just been
Speaker 1: a kind of a statistical anomaly season for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I do like the fact that he's rushing the that
Speaker 1: he is running the football more himself. Oh, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: He's got games coming up against the Packers this week
Speaker 1: on Thursday, then the Panthers, forty Niners, Vikings, forty Niners Chiefs.
Speaker 1: You have to imagine four of his next six games
Speaker 1: will be very competitive. Those forty Niner games, maybe those
Speaker 1: are the ones where they he kind of takes a
Speaker 1: back seat and just runs the football a lot. But Packers, Panthers,
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Chiefs, especially in Week sixteen, which is
Speaker 1: likely your fantasy championship, that's either a Sunday or Monday
Speaker 1: night game, which is two days before Christmas December, that
Speaker 1: should be a fun game. Seahawks against the Chiefs, alright,
Speaker 1: that'ould be a good one, indeed, and then Gin a
Speaker 1: quarterback that was I wanted to do in Russell Wilson impression,
Speaker 1: but we expect to run a lot and he hasn't
Speaker 1: really done that at all this year. Yesterday, for instance,
Speaker 1: he just had two one, but he was very successful
Speaker 1: in defeating the Patriots thirty ten. The Titans just took
Speaker 1: it to New England. Marcus Mariotta, I would to say
Speaker 1: it looks back, but he looks a lot healthier than
Speaker 1: he did earlier on in the year. And I think
Speaker 1: we needed to give you more time to adjust to
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur's offense, brand new offense, first time being in it,
Speaker 1: and la Fleura was figuring out what works for Mariota.
Speaker 1: Mariota is figuring out what works for the floor. And
Speaker 1: over the last two games, Corey Davis has been targeted
Speaker 1: ten times and each of those outings yesterday seven and
Speaker 1: the touchdown. He looks big, he looks strong. Uh. They
Speaker 1: used him in the slot more than they have all
Speaker 1: season long, and it was very, very successful. John new
Speaker 1: Smith has looked good and he's flash. He scored touchdown
Speaker 1: back to back games as well. The Titans offense there
Speaker 1: may be something here, as they improved to five and
Speaker 1: four yesterday. Frank, Yeah, and I've been very critical of
Speaker 1: the Titans offense all year, but the past couple of
Speaker 1: weeks they've definitely turned it around, and I think we
Speaker 1: do have to take notice of that. Mariota really stepping
Speaker 1: up to what is close to being a viable fantasy option.
Speaker 1: He certainly will be next week when he faces the Colts.
Speaker 1: We just saw what Blake Bortles did through for over
Speaker 1: three undred yards and two touchdowns, and their secondary the
Speaker 1: Colts have been bleeding fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. So
Speaker 1: with six teams on a buy next week, especially especially,
Speaker 1: I have feeling Marcus Mariotte is going to creep into
Speaker 1: the top twelve. But overall their offense has been more
Speaker 1: efficient that that involves getting Dan Lewis more involved. I
Speaker 1: know Derrick Henry has four touchdowns in his last three games.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that Derrick Henry is back
Speaker 1: to complete fantasy relevance, but I do think he is
Speaker 1: back to being in the flex discussion, just because they
Speaker 1: are using him down near the goal line and Obviously,
Speaker 1: if their offense is playing better, they're getting closer to
Speaker 1: the goal line more frequently, so that's leading to more
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Derrick Henry. Uh. Dean Lewis was not efficient yesterday,
Speaker 1: but still has had had twenty two touches and believe
Speaker 1: that's three straight games of at least nineteen touches for
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis. So it looks like that might be a
Speaker 1: direct correlation between. Um, you know, the Titans offense getting
Speaker 1: better is getting Dan and Lose more involved, and obviously
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta getting more healthy. Uh, Corey Davis loved what
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday. I asked you in Florio yesterday morning,
Speaker 1: should I start him? Ended up not starting. Corey Davis
Speaker 1: still going to win in that league, thankfully, But um,
Speaker 1: he's just been a target monster all year long in
Speaker 1: terms of target target share. Targeted ten times yesterday on
Speaker 1: twenty four past tempts, Greg Orty one point seven percent
Speaker 1: target share yesterday. He's now it's a thirty one percent
Speaker 1: target share for the season, second in the NFL and
Speaker 1: amongst all receivers, not just wide receivers, all receivers, behind
Speaker 1: only DeAndre Hopkins. So we could see that big second
Speaker 1: half coming for Corey Davis that we were expecting all
Speaker 1: season long. I like the way that the Titans offense
Speaker 1: has been moving in the right direction. Yeah Titans. Uh,
Speaker 1: Titans offense finally showing signs of light life. And the
Speaker 1: Titans very much in the mix in that a f
Speaker 1: C South with Texans, with the Colts and Jaguars now
Speaker 1: in a five game losing streak, much like the Newark
Speaker 1: Giants unbelievably so good to them on just a moment.
Speaker 1: On the other side of the New England Patriots, what happened?
Speaker 1: Cal'm brady did not look great in this game. It
Speaker 1: just seems like they just didn't show up and like
Speaker 1: the game plan was weird. They didn't get James White
Speaker 1: very involved, they only had one carry. It seems like
Speaker 1: they fell behind early. Josh Gordon and Tom Brady were
Speaker 1: not really on the same page. Uh targeted twelve times
Speaker 1: and only holding four of those. Surprised that, you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't use James Whitemore in this game. It was
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle's first game back. I know he played, you know,
Speaker 1: just below thirty percent of the snaps in this game.
Speaker 1: He did not look good, just just really weird, something
Speaker 1: you don't really see from the Patriots offense. It didn't
Speaker 1: show up, which normally you put on the head coach,
Speaker 1: but it's Bill Belichick. Um. They have the bye week
Speaker 1: next week, and they come out of the by facing
Speaker 1: the Jets, so I have a good feeling that they'll
Speaker 1: show up for that one. Greg. I think Tom Brady
Speaker 1: has not been great though this year for fantasy purposes. Uh,
Speaker 1: you look at his last three games forty one in
Speaker 1: this game two and forty yards, zero touchdown passes. I
Speaker 1: mean remember Tom Brady was still a top five quarterback
Speaker 1: being drafted this year fantasy purposes. He has one touchdown
Speaker 1: pass or less in four of his last five games. Greg,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great. His father Tom starting to catch
Speaker 1: up to Tom. It seems like every time we bring
Speaker 1: this up, he's gonna come the next the next five
Speaker 1: or six games, he's gonna throw really touchdowns in every game.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been great though. Julie Ediman at nine for
Speaker 1: one oh four, that was great. Josh Gordon in that
Speaker 1: game he was an injury. Yeah, he did not come
Speaker 1: back for like the final couple of series, but they
Speaker 1: also sat. Tom Brady sat Bryan Hoyer, so they probably
Speaker 1: just knew the game was out of reach, the bye
Speaker 1: week was coming, so they gave Julian ed him in
Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes the rest of Josh Gordon
Speaker 1: at four for eighty one. Not a great game from
Speaker 1: James White or Sonny Michelle eleven thirty one. And we
Speaker 1: said it a couple We said a week ago Rex
Speaker 1: Burke had maybe coming back. Whatever that could mean. It
Speaker 1: may mean something, might be nothing. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like the running backs were already a mess in this game.
Speaker 1: Tony Michelle eleven for thirty one. He did see eleven
Speaker 1: of the I guess you want to say sixteen running
Speaker 1: back carries here he was. He was vultured by James Devlan,
Speaker 1: which just sucks for fantasy purposes. But what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? I mean, teams just randomly throw that fullback
Speaker 1: dive in there. We saw Buck Allen do it a
Speaker 1: bunch of times earlier on in the season, but Sony
Speaker 1: mself saw the majority of carries James White only one carry.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Rex Birkhead does come back healthy in
Speaker 1: week thirteen, like we're expecting, it's gonna go back to
Speaker 1: being a mess. Remember when he went down, we were
Speaker 1: excited because it was finally clear what we were gonna
Speaker 1: get was Sony Michelle on the early downs on goal
Speaker 1: lines and James White was going to continue to do
Speaker 1: his thing and both floors for fantasy purposes. But with
Speaker 1: Rex Burkehead likely back in the mix, can you trust anybody?
Speaker 1: Probably still trust James White. Yeah, but Tony Michelle might
Speaker 1: might become a mess. He might be might well sat
Speaker 1: down into more of a flex option than than the
Speaker 1: RB two. We'll see. It was earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: We don't know if it was injury related related that
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle really just took over even when his actor
Speaker 1: wasn't do anything. That's that because of the injury. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I have a feeling it was he didn't
Speaker 1: look like he was normal effective self and we knew
Speaker 1: that he was dealing with that knee injury coming into
Speaker 1: the seasons. All right. I mentioned the Jaguars they lost
Speaker 1: to the Cults yesterday. J Ramsey tweet to the Cryptic
Speaker 1: Tweets Monday more n tweet I'll pull it up for you,
Speaker 1: but it was something along lines of, uh, you guys
Speaker 1: will miss me when I'm gone kind of thing. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is just cryptic, cryptic tweet season.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's one of those things where losing
Speaker 1: hurts and he's just tweeting stupidly. Yeah. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. We know that he's going
Speaker 1: to try and make headlines off the off the field.
Speaker 1: That's what he does. Uh, this was four hours ago.
Speaker 1: When I'm gone from here, y'all gonna miss me. I
Speaker 1: ain't even tripping. We'll say this. The Ian Ramsey Jacksonville
Speaker 1: defense allowed twenty nine points in that first half. This
Speaker 1: is not the defense that they were last season. He
Speaker 1: did not allow a point in the second half, though.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't come all the way back. They were
Speaker 1: gonna leave twenty nine seven potentially, um so whatever it was.
Speaker 1: Definitely they almost came all the way back, had a
Speaker 1: chance to win it on the final drive. A fumble
Speaker 1: unfortunately ended that. But Andrew Luck and Eric Ebron certainly
Speaker 1: got it done. Luck through three touchdowns to the five.
Speaker 1: Clearly upsta to defense. If you started Andrew look like
Speaker 1: I did, that certainly worked out. And Eric Ebron caught
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, rushed for a touchdown. Cool on a cool
Speaker 1: play design on a lot of benches to man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, because the last we saw was Jack
Speaker 1: Doyle dominating snaps and dominating targets um for the Indianapolis Colts,
Speaker 1: and then in this game he's still dominated snaps, like
Speaker 1: if if you see the snap percentage today, Like Eric
Speaker 1: Ebron did not play all that much, but he made
Speaker 1: the most of his opportunities. He was targeted three times,
Speaker 1: caught all three sixty nine yards, two touchdowns, rushed for
Speaker 1: one as well. It sucks that this guy, and he
Speaker 1: does look like a promising player. But mo Ali Cox
Speaker 1: has kind of stepped in here and is making like
Speaker 1: a three headed tight end committee, which sucks for James,
Speaker 1: for Jack Doyle because all all three tight ends were
Speaker 1: targeted at least three times. So I mean, if if
Speaker 1: that was just one or two guys, then we're looking at,
Speaker 1: you know, either nine or ten targets from one guy
Speaker 1: or five or six targets from two guys. But now
Speaker 1: mo Aley Cox in the mix has scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: in back to back games. Greg Andrew luck what he's
Speaker 1: doing right now re passing touchdowns in six straight games
Speaker 1: at least three I mean there are games with four
Speaker 1: passing touchdown multiple frinkled in there as well, and and Bivona,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, if you could get that clip up
Speaker 1: and ready of the of the offensive linean quipment, he's listening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hope he's listening as well. But um, the offensive
Speaker 1: lines is playing lights out. I believe it's four straight
Speaker 1: games now that Andrew Luck hasn't been sacked, the Colts
Speaker 1: offensive line has has developed into one of I would
Speaker 1: say easily top ten offensive lines in the NFL already. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've done a nice job and they become malers along
Speaker 1: that offensive line. They finally invested in the right jatt
Speaker 1: the Quentin Nelson early jaretted a couple of the pieces.
Speaker 1: And now Andrew Luck wasn't sacked yesterday. Uh. Two quarterback
Speaker 1: hits total. I guess a fierce pass for us. Oh,
Speaker 1: you have the best in the league. Absolutely, even without
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler, they still have one of the best pass
Speaker 1: for US is uh Bavona. Can we can we play
Speaker 1: that clip one more time? Yeah, one more time. Let's
Speaker 1: let's get that again. Quin. That's Quenton Nelson. He's broken
Speaker 1: in half pancake block the linebacker two man, the culture
Speaker 1: playing good football right now? Don't look now there are
Speaker 1: four and five. Um. You know that that decision from
Speaker 1: Frank Reich earlier on in the season against the Texans
Speaker 1: where the Texans ended up winning that game, I was
Speaker 1: gonna end up looming large. I have a feeling down
Speaker 1: the down the end stretch here. But the Colts do
Speaker 1: have another matchup with the Texans coming up as well,
Speaker 1: so that'll be a lot of fun. Um, listen to
Speaker 1: playing good football. And Frank writs me very creative and
Speaker 1: I've been impressed with him. Hilton get started in. I know, Frankie,
Speaker 1: you and some other people very nervous. Hilton was nervous,
Speaker 1: but I still told a lot of people to use him.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I was getting a lot of questions h t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton or Moe Harris. It was a very popular
Speaker 1: one yesterday. Neither one was phenomenal. Seven is not killer
Speaker 1: though it's not killer, but I mean against Jalen Ramsey.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people were bringing up
Speaker 1: the statistics of past performances of t Y Hilton going
Speaker 1: up against the Jaguars against Jalen Ramsey and struggling. You
Speaker 1: have to realize a lot of those games were without
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. So obviously you know when you have Jacoby
Speaker 1: Brissette and whoever else was throwing t Y Hilton the
Speaker 1: ball against this Jaguars secondary, of course te Wy Hilton
Speaker 1: was gonna be great. Still, lead the team in targets,
Speaker 1: led the team in receiving seventy seven yards. It would
Speaker 1: have helped if you got a touchdown. But I had
Speaker 1: him ranked just barely inside my top twenty four. I
Speaker 1: think the fact that you got, you know, seventy seven
Speaker 1: yards out of him, you feel all right about that.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna have been worse. On the other side,
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett twenty nine touches in his return, twenty four
Speaker 1: on the ground three surprising to you. Like I tweeted
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, he's not had a lot of people
Speaker 1: telling me, well, you know this is a do or
Speaker 1: die game for the Jaguars. They need to win. Well,
Speaker 1: then why do you give up that draft compensation to
Speaker 1: get Carlos high. That's what doesn't make sense. So so
Speaker 1: that is right, like they needed to win yesterday, Why
Speaker 1: could Carlos Hide help you in too? Instead of twenty
Speaker 1: nine touches and and two point two yards per carry
Speaker 1: from Leonard four net it. Maybe you give him sixteen
Speaker 1: carries and and three or four targets, twenty touches and
Speaker 1: you give Carlo's hide, you know, eight to ten. They
Speaker 1: feel like Leonard Ford is obviously significantly better that that.
Speaker 1: That train makes no sense like that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it is, to be honest with is significantly
Speaker 1: better than Karl's tell yeah, I do. I'm a Carlos
Speaker 1: high guy, But I don't know that he's sign he's
Speaker 1: he's better, he's significantly better, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So the Jaguars feel that way and they give there
Speaker 1: he's helping for fantasy purposes, but they're gonna run the
Speaker 1: guy into the ground like twenty nine touches, dealing with
Speaker 1: all the injuries he had. I just it doesn't make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. Some Maron has really
Speaker 1: regressed as the head coach. T J. Yelden, Um, so
Speaker 1: he's normal report fifty one of the past games. So yeah,
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden, you kind of got what you expected
Speaker 1: yesterday in the revenge game. Dante Montre even an r
Speaker 1: touch shot the Revenge game. I know that he's he's
Speaker 1: been a guy that people are targeting because of air yards.
Speaker 1: Um that he was a bylow candidate, and we've seen
Speaker 1: that here he's the guy who getting targeted down the field.
Speaker 1: This offense has really become obviously a lot of Leonard
Speaker 1: four Nette, t J. Yelden, and then it's d D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Dante Moncrief. Clan Cole has been phased out.
Speaker 1: G J. Chark is consistently playing more snaps than him now,
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't think Dante moncre or d D. Westbrook
Speaker 1: either one is a wide receiver three. But with six
Speaker 1: teams on a buy next week, maybe one of those
Speaker 1: guys sneaks in there. Uh. They're really the only two
Speaker 1: that you can trust in the past scheme outside of
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden, but you don't really trust him now either.
Speaker 1: It's like a borderline flex and PP by week guy. Um.
Speaker 1: Speaking of surprises, yesterday, what the hell happen when they
Speaker 1: let a falcons? This was a this was a weird one, man.
Speaker 1: Uh they were they would have a fourteen ten and
Speaker 1: half time fine and then a lot of fourteen points
Speaker 1: in that third quarter, only had uh six points in
Speaker 1: that last quarter. Uh, surprising loss in Cleveland where they
Speaker 1: fell out the three six and one Browns, and coming
Speaker 1: off a huge victory against Washington last week, it looked
Speaker 1: like they were going in the right direction, like they
Speaker 1: might actually be able to compete and try and try
Speaker 1: and run from one of those NFC wild cards and
Speaker 1: take later next step back here against Cleveland Browns. Uh.
Speaker 1: And we saw a few times them trying to go
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down down here the goal line
Speaker 1: and not converting. So yeah, that was killer. I mean,
Speaker 1: for all the credit that we've given Steve Sarkisian and
Speaker 1: the Falcons in the red zone, they've been phenomenal this year.
Speaker 1: This was one of those games where you kind of
Speaker 1: gotta look at look at Steve Sarkesian and and yes, say,
Speaker 1: all right, well, you know, we gotta we gotta lay
Speaker 1: some blame on somebody here. Matt Ryan, for fantasy purposes,
Speaker 1: still phenomenal over three yards to touchdowns. You can argue
Speaker 1: that he's playing better this year than in his MVP season. Uh.
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman four yards per carry did not do much obviously,
Speaker 1: playing from behind in a lot of this game. Uleo
Speaker 1: Jones was Julio Jones, Greg Julio Jones touchdown in two
Speaker 1: straight games. Who thought that was possible? Austin Hooper Aster game,
Speaker 1: ten receptions, fifty six yards played. Uh in this game,
Speaker 1: really though, it's all about Nick Chubb, Baby, all about
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. I mean ninety two yard rushing touchdown, longest
Speaker 1: rushing play in Brown's history yesterday. And we spoke about
Speaker 1: him last week that since to Carlos High Trade, he
Speaker 1: was averaging nineteen carries a game. Well, that average just
Speaker 1: went up barely because he had twenty carries in this game.
Speaker 1: But it looks awesome And what I really really like
Speaker 1: out of this performance he actually targeted three times in
Speaker 1: the passing game, something we weren't seeing a lot out
Speaker 1: of Nick Chubb earlier, and he caught all three for
Speaker 1: thirty three yards added a touchdown. I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of a step back for Duke Johnson. While he did
Speaker 1: catch the touchdown here, did not see the volume that
Speaker 1: we were expecting in terms of targets. Obviously, we know
Speaker 1: he's never gonna do much on the ground in terms
Speaker 1: of carrying the football. But Freddie Kitchens taking over as
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator directly correlates with the running backs of
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Round specifically Nick Chubb. Fantasy value on the rise,
Speaker 1: Gregg rising quickly. All the past cashers though, comes down. Yes,
Speaker 1: run games going up, that means the past game is dropping.
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry has not been the same thing. Not so good.
Speaker 1: The bigger maybe it looks good. I'll say that bigger
Speaker 1: maybe it looks a lot better. Three touchdowns, three completions yesterday.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when with a strong run game from
Speaker 1: yesterday next. If you're someone that needs fantasy sports advice

Speaker 1: You're out on all that. Sorry, We're always been doing.
Speaker 1: Break David Johnson and what he did yesterday. Although the
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Cardinals fourteen, the Cardinals number one covered
Speaker 1: and number two, we saw some life out of David
Speaker 1: Johnson twenty one carries for ninety eight yards and caught
Speaker 1: sevener septions for eighty five yards. This is a vintage
Speaker 1: David Johnson game. Any coincidence that Bruce Arians was there
Speaker 1: calling the game, so maybe he also came up with
Speaker 1: the game plan? UM, I will say no, Greg, but
Speaker 1: I certainly think that the bye week with the with
Speaker 1: new o C Byron left, which we saw him one
Speaker 1: game before the bye, uh, he he had this by
Speaker 1: week to implement his game plan, and you know he
Speaker 1: already came out and said that he wanted to use
Speaker 1: David Johnson more close, uh, closer to how Bruce Arians
Speaker 1: was using him. And I just absolutely loved this usage.
Speaker 1: He posted season highs all across the board, targets, nine receptions,
Speaker 1: seven receiving yards eighty five, He had a receiving touchdown,
Speaker 1: he had a rushing touchdown UM. He accounted for pretty
Speaker 1: much all of the Cardinals offense. They scored four teen points,
Speaker 1: David Johnson scored both of the touchdowns UM. And he
Speaker 1: has a phenomenal schedule coming up as well. So if
Speaker 1: you held onto David Johnson, you feel great about him
Speaker 1: right now. I really really really love the usage that
Speaker 1: we saw out of him yesterday from UH from the
Speaker 1: new O C Byron left which for the other UM
Speaker 1: weapons in the past game, Berg Ricky Shiels Jones targeted
Speaker 1: nine times five for fifty one. I thought that was
Speaker 1: I thought that was a positive sign as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye both our R s J
Speaker 1: and R Fitz getting at least nine targets in this game.
Speaker 1: I thought Fitz would be better six for fifty. It
Speaker 1: was a good matchup going up against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But again I do like the matches coming up. They
Speaker 1: have the Raiders next week, so Josh Rosen needs to
Speaker 1: play better and if he does, I think, UH, that
Speaker 1: will definitely help Larry Fitzgerald. But Fitzgerald right now is
Speaker 1: more so in the wide receiver three conversation than anything else,
Speaker 1: and especially for PPR like he's not gonna score a
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns. We already know that he's a wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. That's it. David Johnson, You're like, David Johnson,
Speaker 1: do what he did yesterday. The confidence is back. I'm
Speaker 1: feeling better about him. We'll see how long will last.
Speaker 1: UH for DJ And it was basically status call on
Speaker 1: the other side, of the football for the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Mahomes didn't have the monster game that we and two
Speaker 1: I used Kareem Hunt and daily as well. Streaming running
Speaker 1: backs against the Cardinals had been a great strategy all
Speaker 1: season long. But we know that given how many weapons
Speaker 1: they have on the Chiefs here, that there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some games where players are gonna have to sacrifice. Um. So, look,
Speaker 1: you've gotten so many touched out of Kareem Hunt all
Speaker 1: year long. I know it would have helped if you
Speaker 1: got one here as well. But for all the good
Speaker 1: things you've gotten out of him, he'll take one bad
Speaker 1: at a bad game at a Kareem But for Tyreek,
Speaker 1: kill monster game again. One seventeen and two touchdowns. Watching
Speaker 1: that second touchdown, right, I just don't understand it from
Speaker 1: just a defensive scheming perspective. If you watch Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: on that second touchdown, he ran straight up the field,
Speaker 1: sat down in a zone right between three defenders, and
Speaker 1: he was they were about yards out on that second touchdown.
Speaker 1: Why are you Why are you letting him sit down
Speaker 1: in front of you like he can't run past the
Speaker 1: end zone like it just it made no sense to
Speaker 1: me from a defensive perspective. But I mean, obviously Tyreek
Speaker 1: Kills started everywhere yesterday fantasy purposes, you'll take it. I
Speaker 1: just didn't really understand from a defensive perspective. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: it's the next game here, Uh, next game, I wanna,
Speaker 1: I wanna quickly at to Chicago and Detroit. Detroit's terrible.
Speaker 1: They're bad. Remember they beat the Packers and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: They did, and they were also the team that made
Speaker 1: Jets fans think that the Jets were back. They're not one. No,
Speaker 1: they're definitely not back. That's for sure, Mrskus. Fantasts are bad.
Speaker 1: They're very bad. Jeriscy was fantastic three and fifty five
Speaker 1: yards passing through number one fantasy quarterback this week, three
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns and rushed forward. Nuggets Jordan Howard could
Speaker 1: not get it going at all on the ground, monstrous,
Speaker 1: disappointing average disappointment, averaging lesson gwyards of carry and on
Speaker 1: the goal line three Cohen came in and scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Very very frustrating. Um Allen Robinson was awesome sixty three
Speaker 1: and two. And Anthony Miller, you said this a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Frankie's don't sleep on Anthony Miller, who
Speaker 1: now has four consecutive games with at least six targets,
Speaker 1: back to back with seven and back to back with six.
Speaker 1: He's got a touchdown in three of his last five games.
Speaker 1: Very interesting stuff from Anthony Miller right now. And he's
Speaker 1: the one who's playing in the slot. Going to continue
Speaker 1: to say it it's the year of the slot receiver.
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems it seems like any guy that
Speaker 1: you put in the slot this year is having success.
Speaker 1: We even saw Say Jones yesterday have success in the
Speaker 1: slot against the new year Michael Flora. Yes, great call
Speaker 1: from Mike. I'm sure there was no bias. They're involved
Speaker 1: at all. But Anthony Miller four straight games of at
Speaker 1: least six targets. I don't think he has monster upside
Speaker 1: because in in normal games, I don't expect the Bears
Speaker 1: who have to pass as much. I don't expect him
Speaker 1: to have this many this much yardage passing and this
Speaker 1: many touchdowns passing. But Anthony Miller is the guy who's
Speaker 1: playing the slot. I feel great about Allen Robinson if
Speaker 1: I own him right now, coming back yesterday said he
Speaker 1: was fully healthy looked like he was fully healthy. Led
Speaker 1: the team in targets eight targets in this game, had
Speaker 1: a season high one hundred and thirty three receiving yards
Speaker 1: as well. Just the morning game from Jordan Howard, this
Speaker 1: is I mean, there's no matchup that gets better than
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I think that we all bought back into
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard a little bit too quick here. But if
Speaker 1: you look at his game log, he hasn't been very
Speaker 1: efficient this year. I don't know if that's a product
Speaker 1: of the offensive line or just you know, him regressing
Speaker 1: as a player, or teams figuring out Jordan Howard because
Speaker 1: he's been held at three point seven yards per carry
Speaker 1: or less in every game but one this year. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it seems like he really is touchdown dependent. He
Speaker 1: hasn't had more than eighty five yards in the game,
Speaker 1: doesn't have a single one yard rushing performance this year.
Speaker 1: So Jordan Howard, let's not overrate him again the next
Speaker 1: time he faces the Lions or in good matchups. He
Speaker 1: is a touchdown or bust mid reigin to low end
Speaker 1: RB two. I don't think that he's the high end
Speaker 1: RB two that I had him ranked as this week.
Speaker 1: On the other side of the football. Very very promising
Speaker 1: game from carry On Johnson, Gregg. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw this sequence yesterday where the Lions are down
Speaker 1: on the goal line and they try two times in
Speaker 1: a row to run it in with Legeric and then
Speaker 1: they went to carry on Johnson and he converted. So
Speaker 1: that is a very promising sign for me moving forward.
Speaker 1: For carry On Johnson also was used very frequently in
Speaker 1: the past game, even with Theoretic on the field, and
Speaker 1: THEO Rick played a lot in the slot yesterday, pretty
Speaker 1: much filling in for that that Golden Tate role. Uh
Speaker 1: and THEO Rick had his seven targets six receptions, But
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson also six targets and six receptions in
Speaker 1: this game. And I have a feeling, based on the
Speaker 1: way the Lions are playing right now, that we're gonna
Speaker 1: see more games where they're playing from behind end, which means,
Speaker 1: you know, based on Carrie On Johnson's usage in this one,
Speaker 1: I think that he is matchup proof. He's he's firmly
Speaker 1: entrenched in that RB two discussion. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 1: if over the second half of the season we don't
Speaker 1: see a lot of lea Garrett punt at all and
Speaker 1: even especially on the goal lines, we start to see
Speaker 1: Carrie on Johnson using that capacity. Because carry On Johnson
Speaker 1: certainly take a step forward yesterday. I know his owners
Speaker 1: are very, very satisfied with the type of game they got.
Speaker 1: Kenny Gallady had a touchdown, six seventy eight feasted in
Speaker 1: garbage time, career high thirteen targets in this game. Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones left with an injury, so pay attention to that. Uh,
Speaker 1: if this is something that's going to linger for a
Speaker 1: few weeks, then Kenny Golladay is going to be a
Speaker 1: target monster moving forward. But we needed to see this
Speaker 1: game out of him. Greg. If you're expecting him to
Speaker 1: take off the big time One's golden tate was traded.
Speaker 1: He disappointed us last week. Over his last three games
Speaker 1: heading into this one combined, he only had seven targets.
Speaker 1: In this game, he nearly doubled that alone, So we
Speaker 1: had thirteen targets. We need to see more out of
Speaker 1: that from Baby Tron moving forward. Speaking of surprises, wh
Speaker 1: she team defeated Tampa Bay sixteen to three, It's not
Speaker 1: a surprised at Washington won. It's at the Tampa Buccaneers
Speaker 1: only scored three points. I wonder who gets fired first,
Speaker 1: their Cutter or Todd Bowls. I'm sure it will all
Speaker 1: happen on that what does that Black Monday or whatever?
Speaker 1: It's probably have it on the Sunday night before that
Speaker 1: when all the coaches that are fired. Man, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you could have made an argument for Todd
Speaker 1: Bowls to be fired at halftime yesterday, the way that
Speaker 1: the Jets just came out against a team that was
Speaker 1: two and seven, I mean, to lose by thirty one points.
Speaker 1: But we're talking about Washington right now, Greg and Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: I mean, they got into the red zone four times
Speaker 1: in this game. It came away with one field goal.
Speaker 1: So we've already seen some speculation that they could go
Speaker 1: back to Jamis Winston going back and forth. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that happens. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think it does. I think Ryan Fitzpatrick still gives them
Speaker 1: the best chance to win, but maybe they don't care
Speaker 1: about winning anymore. I mean, they problem is the head
Speaker 1: coach cares about winning. The organization doesn't at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's that's evening we want. I said, about Todd
Speaker 1: Bowls last absolutely that they put Josh McCowen in because
Speaker 1: they thought that gives him a better chance of waiting,
Speaker 1: and he basically did his best Sam Donald impersonation. Right.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not the bad No, it's not. It's it's
Speaker 1: obviously the offensive system. And we realized that now, I mean,
Speaker 1: the play calling has just been terrible. Oh and did
Speaker 1: you realize there was a report last night Greig Sam
Speaker 1: Donald was walking around the locker room without a boot yesterday.
Speaker 1: This is about as bad as it gets. Man. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I keep getting into the Jets
Speaker 1: while trying to talk about Tampa Bay. But disappointing performance
Speaker 1: from Mike Evans here. Should have caught a touchdown. It
Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest throws of all time. He obviously had to,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of dive down to try and catch it,
Speaker 1: but still should have caught it. Uh. In that line
Speaker 1: up yesterday, I started both Mike Adams, Mike Evans and
Speaker 1: Adam Humphries because I had Sammy Watkins banged up. Um,
Speaker 1: but neither one was great by any means. Um. And
Speaker 1: just when you think it's Chris Godmen getting phased out,
Speaker 1: he gets targeted seven times, catches all seven for a
Speaker 1: hundred yards. So look, there's no rhyme reason to the
Speaker 1: passing game with the Tampa Bay Bucks right now. Even O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard had a terrible game in this one. It's really
Speaker 1: just flip coin and you don't know what you're gonna
Speaker 1: get from the Temp Bay Bucks passing tech. Do you agree, Greg? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know who and that's the issue. Might like
Speaker 1: you know that. Look, they threw for freaking four hundred
Speaker 1: and six yards in this game. They throw for over
Speaker 1: three fifty every single game, Greg, But you just in
Speaker 1: this game, you thought that it would have been set
Speaker 1: up for a good Mike Evans or even Adam Humphreys performing.
Speaker 1: It should have been Evans Rogers. He dropped the touchdown,
Speaker 1: which is a disaster. Adam humphreeze was only had three
Speaker 1: targets yesterday. With all that, Sean Jackson, Chris Godwin and
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, christ Um Quiz Rogers and you know,
Speaker 1: from the Washington perspective, this is exactly what we expect
Speaker 1: them to do. The week before we get the Falcon
Speaker 1: was take the air to the football, run the football.
Speaker 1: A bunch put up sixteen points. Let Alex Smith game
Speaker 1: manage guys. Reminder, Alex Smith is not a streaming quarterback.
Speaker 1: Even in a match of against the Tampa Bay Bucks,
Speaker 1: one sight and one touchdown, six point six yards per tempt,
Speaker 1: only twenty seven passing as temps uh, Adrian Peterson still
Speaker 1: touched the ball in nineteen times and in the in
Speaker 1: the other games where he touched about at least seventeen times,
Speaker 1: he had over ninety rushing yards and all of those.
Speaker 1: I think this is a product of the offensive line
Speaker 1: being banged up, which we knew coming in. They lost
Speaker 1: a ton of their starters. No Harris five or fifty
Speaker 1: two on five targets to lead this team, Jordan Read does?
Speaker 1: I mentioned what Robert what is it? Every week? This
Speaker 1: is what Jordan Reid does every week. I mean he
Speaker 1: led the team in targets, he almost led the team
Speaker 1: in receiving. And we have six teams on a bye.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna start Jordan Read again. Next week? You've
Speaker 1: got Jeff Hireman. I mean, can you take me hire Man?
Speaker 1: Perfect time to sign off on YouTube? Uh, come up next?
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Frenzy, Chris Ventra, Jim Day and the Fantasy

Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I gotta set of line.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do on the Optimizer Big
Speaker 1: Main Boom. Saturdays, I had Quinn Cook in the lineup.
Speaker 1: I mean he was she was when he was over,
Speaker 1: he was under five K and I think he put
Speaker 1: up like over forty Fantasy points. He was one of
Speaker 1: the top top options from the from the Optimizer that night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: on a Friday, I think I went with ToJ Gibson.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was like, all right, that works out. It
Speaker 1: was cool. Um, it was great and it was it
Speaker 1: was like an easy victory. You're probably going with Tod
Speaker 1: Gibson to night too. Yeah, to Gipson. Absolutely, someone's getting

Speaker 1: was like traded. Yeah, it was having day sex literally
Speaker 1: sex was like why no one saw the seventy six
Speaker 1: and Judy and Judy is like what happens? Like, right,

Speaker 1: you out Before we wrap up, Aaron Jones is fantastic performance.
Speaker 1: This is what we've been waiting for. Frank. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: look nobody saw this coming. I believe he had over
Speaker 1: a hundred yards from scrimmage in the first quarter yesterday.
Speaker 1: Obviously had that sixty seven yard run, didn't get that
Speaker 1: one in, but ended up punching it in twice. Anyway,
Speaker 1: in this game, UH ended up seeing twenty running back opportunities.
Speaker 1: That's carry's plus targets in this game, which is um
Speaker 1: It's definitely a season high, it's likely a career high
Speaker 1: as well. He played over seventy of the snaps. Small
Speaker 1: Williams is basically a handcuff at this point. Love love, love.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's two things that I love from this
Speaker 1: past week, and was the usage and the performance we
Speaker 1: saw from David Johnson. And the same thing goes for
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Not even Mike McCarthy, because for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: hates Aaron Jones can deny this type of performance. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I think it was a very chalky game. I
Speaker 1: had him in DFS yesterday. The Dolphins had struggled mightily
Speaker 1: against the run. There's the reason why I liked Isaiah
Speaker 1: rol last week. But the Jets of the Jets, Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones was able to make the most of his opportunity.
Speaker 1: I think he is a I think he's now a
Speaker 1: high end RB two moving forward, Greg, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's a strong RB two. It's all The question won't
Speaker 1: be Um, what right he'll run the ball? It's it's
Speaker 1: how often he's gonna run the ball. He's the guy,
Speaker 1: that's how often will he get the football around? Here's
Speaker 1: what I'll say. I know Judy has this dilemma. I'm
Speaker 1: sure a lot of people have similar dilemmas to this one.
Speaker 1: I'm starting Aaron Jones over Jordan Howard regardless of match.
Speaker 1: Um frank Were continues to run ahead of Kenyan Drake amazingly. Uh.
Speaker 1: Drake left yesterday with shoulder injury, but did second MBS
Speaker 1: six for forty four, receiving Davant Adams only four or
Speaker 1: fifty seven. Adams the trusted goal line guy as always,
Speaker 1: he was awesome. Uh yes, strick. Aaron Rodgers not having
Speaker 1: a great year either, No, he's not. He would be
Speaker 1: eleven point. Would you like to guess where Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is ranked in terms of points per games? He's seventeen.
Speaker 1: He's seventeen. You know. I mentioned Russell Wilson earlier on
Speaker 1: in the year. Even with all the passing touchdowns he
Speaker 1: has this year sixteen. Believe that in points per game.
Speaker 1: Believe that it's a weird year for quarterbacks. Man, you
Speaker 1: have to those those were the top three right being
Speaker 1: drafted this year? Yeah, am I missing anybody? Watson, Drew
Speaker 1: Brees was inside the top five. Ish, Drew Brees, Shawn
Speaker 1: Watson was inside the top five. Ish Andrew Luck kind
Speaker 1: of starts to make that push Drew Brees by the
Speaker 1: way to sixty five and three. Yesterday in the drumming
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. I had this game had as many touchdowns
Speaker 1: as he did in completions. Another one of those. Another
Speaker 1: one of those I said earlier in the show, making
Speaker 1: feel the same thing, because no, but it seems like
Speaker 1: it's every single week then that Drew Brees is doing this.
Speaker 1: It's crazy to see the MVP right now. I think
Speaker 1: Drew Brees in their conversation though, yeah he is, they
Speaker 1: were saying yesterday, he's no doubt vain like you're getting
Speaker 1: the top two in my opinion, um mark ingrama of
Speaker 1: nowhere thirteen from one oh four on the ground. He
Speaker 1: also went three or fifty eight through the eras this
Speaker 1: was the Eric Ebrown of running backs history. Yes, I
Speaker 1: would imagine he was not started in a lot of
Speaker 1: just a drubbing. Man. I got this game totally wrong.
Speaker 1: I thought Sincinnati was gonna cover. I really liked them.
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that too, because they saw
Speaker 1: the big win from the Saints against them. Like, we
Speaker 1: need to stop trying to create these kind of storylines
Speaker 1: when a team is good and another team is bad
Speaker 1: and they just lost their best player in a J. Green,
Speaker 1: the Bengals are not a good team. Man, was obvious
Speaker 1: that we could have saw this one coming final game,
Speaker 1: the meat Clippers the Chargers meet, they six anything there
Speaker 1: more Melvin Gordon Keenan Allen on the end zone again,
Speaker 1: so that helps a lot, But it's it's a lot
Speaker 1: of Keenan Allen. Movin Gordon. That's what the Chargers offense
Speaker 1: is right now, not a lot of Mike Williams or
Speaker 1: Tyroll Williams, either Frenzy's up next or Frank Staff. I'm
Speaker 1: Greg Sousman. We'll do it all go tomorrow, we hope.
