Speaker 1: Draft Kings. It's me your man, MG, Marcus Grant. Still

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: masking and socially distancing, win and where necessary, and we

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: have made it almost all the way through Week nine.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: There's still one more game to be played tonight. We

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: will talk about that a little bit later on in

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: this show. Of course, Kimmy Checks will join us, as

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: she always does on a Monday. We'll go through some

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: of the waiver wire options out there for you. We're

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna look at a trio of young quarterbacks who played

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday and kind of get the pulse of where

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: we think they're headed for the rest of the season.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: So we got all that and plenty more. But before

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: we do any of that, we'll talk to our faithful producer,

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy Esquire and Murphy the Fighting Irish.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Huge win for them over the weekend. That was exciting.

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty good weekend from me. The first time in

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, I mean that came. Uh, it made me.

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: It was such a good win. I was like emotional

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: because usually my team just blow those games, like the

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: close ones, like I gave your best effort and you

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: you lost somehow, and uh, I mean that was just

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: uh like when Ian Book fumbled in the end zone,

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is the end of the game.

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: And then just to win dramatic fashion and overtime and

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: credit to to DJ on Clemson, mean, like true freshman,

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: he was as good as could be. Um really no

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: gap between him and how Chever Lawrence has been playing.

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Um Notre Dame one strictly because they stopped their run

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and that was just it was absolutely fantastic and hopefully

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: no hiccups the rest of the way and just get

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: that team to the a CC title game and then

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: we'll take it from there. Yeah. Well it could very

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: well be a rematch in the a c C title

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: game and then rich and a good weekend that the

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Giants get a win too, So it was a good

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: weekend all around for you. That's yeah, that's I mean,

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: my DJ Daniel Jones, that's the only team he could

41
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: beat is uh is walking. But a lot of positis

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: from that game too. I mean, they have a really

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: good defense, good defensive line, and the Giants online, which

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: has been a problem all season long. Um stood up

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: for him. I believe he is like the third highest

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: PFF grade from passing within the pocket, which is fantastic news.

47
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: It's exactly what the Giants need. So I mean, yeah,

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: just too good of a weekend for me. So I

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta like lock myself in my room and

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: just make sure like nothing bad happens to you today.

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely enjoy your victory Monday, because I'm sure it was

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: certainly well worth the way. All right, we'll turn our

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: attention now to the one and only Kimmy Checks joining

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: us on a Monday. And I hear you guys did

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: not go with these smoked meats route, but you had

56
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: something equally delicious to eat on Sunday for football. We

57
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: did it and it's so funny. Um. Last week, after

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: I was talking about Trigger that we smoke week, that

59
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: we smoked meats every single weekend, someone one of our

60
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: amazing listeners messaged me on Instagram was like, I'm a

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Trigger ambassador. I get did do all the recipes, So

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: for all my Trigger people out there, hit me up.

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: But no, we were lazy this weekend, and we went

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: and ordered Popeyes last and watched Sunday Night Football, which

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: was equally as as amazing. Uh, if you've ever had

66
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: pop Eyes, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Get

67
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: your small joys where you can find them without a doubt.

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's start with some fantasy headlines and unfortunately

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: no small joys. At the top of this segment of news.

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who made his return yesterday and played very

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: well for the Panthers and I lost barely injured his

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: shoulder and is expected to miss some time. That is

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: according to our own Ian Rappaport. So I guess the

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: first and most obvious question, Jimmy, is does this mean

75
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Mike Davis has re entered the chat? I mean, I think,

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: I think it has to. And I know Mike Davis

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: has been a little bit of a disappointed disappointment excuse me,

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, but you have to look at

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: what he did earlier on in the season. He really

80
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: did fill the void of Christian McCaffrey and he was productive.

81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: So if you still have shares of Mike Davis and

82
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: you didn't dump him off, which was very smart, I

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: think he ran re enters the conversation and should be

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a starter, but it also kind of poses the question

85
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: of what happens if you weren't lucky enough to have

86
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. Another thing that was that we're not really

87
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: mentioning or talking about with this Christian McCaffrey conversation is

88
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: that the Panthers have a bye week in week thirteen,

89
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: which is right when the Fantasy Playoffs begin. So then

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: begs the question what do we do and how do

91
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: we move forward? Especially if we have a hole at

92
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: that running back position. That is sort of the million

93
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: dollar question right now. I would say that for a

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of people, you have sort of figured out how

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: to navigate around Christian McCaffrey, especially if you weren't lucky

96
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: enough to go get Mike Davis off the waiver wire.

97
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: So it is going to sort of be kind of

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: plug and play for a while for you. Now, we'll

99
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: see how long this is going to keep them out.

100
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this news is just sort of hitting just

101
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: as we are just before we started recording this show,

102
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: so we're still learning a lot of the details. So

103
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: but but you are going to have to sort of

104
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: navigate around this. I mean, you're gonna play the waiver wire.

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna find which guys are out there, probably on

106
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: a week to basis, and try to plug them in

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: as best as possible based on the matchup. I would

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: say another way to maybe try to navigate this is

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: to kind of use the flex spot. Right if you

110
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: can find a running back, if you have another running

111
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: back that you feel okay with, you put that person

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: in your RB one or RB two spot. You play

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: the flex. I mean, Curtis Samuel might get some more

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: opportunity now because of no Christian McCaffrey. We've seen the

115
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: last few weeks. He's been a big part of this

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Carolina offense. But there is no easy answer because and

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: we said this the first time he went down with

118
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: the ankle injury, that there's no easy way to replace

119
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Christian McCaffrey. He was the number one

120
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: overall pick in most leads for a reason. And so

121
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: you are going to have to sort of, you know,

122
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: bubblegum and and spit and duct tape and try to

123
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: figure out how to put this lineup together for the

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season. And yeah, that buy in week

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: thirteen is not going to do anyone any favors. That

126
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: was a cork of the schedule obviously this year because

127
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen and the way things kind of shook out.

128
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: So you do have teams that are on by right

129
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: at the start of the Fantasy playoffs, and that is

130
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: going to up end a whole lot of things. Uh,

131
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: this is not going to be fun. It is not

132
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: going to be good. And look at somebody who has

133
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and a league or two. I understand. I

134
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: am feeling that level of pain as well. All right,

135
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: staying in the division, A interesting uh Sunday night football

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: game between the Saints and the Buccaneers. It was definitely

137
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: not what we thought it would be. The Saints just

138
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: laid the SmackDown pretty much from the beginning, destroying the

139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: Buccaneers in that one. And Tom Brady it was a

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: rough night for him. Antonio Brown didn't do much of anything.

141
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: He did have one catch sort of late in that game,

142
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: which he weirdly celebrated, But then again, I guess that's

143
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown for you. Um So, I guess that's the

144
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: first question though, right, Because we were so interested in

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: seeing a b get on the field with this team

146
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: and nothing really happened. How are we feeling about this

147
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: after one game? I mean, yes, all sample size, let's

148
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: just start with how do we feel about this after

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: one game? And obviously this wasn't even the game to

150
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: really good get a good example of what Tom Brady

151
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown can do on the football field, because

152
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: the Saints completely shut them down. You see it right

153
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: here on the topic bar. Antonio Brown had five targets,

154
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: three receptions thirty one yards. He finished the six fantasy points.

155
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I think I had a higher projection for him, but

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: you have to look at Tom Brady and and the

157
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: fact that they just didn't pass the ball well at all.

158
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: The Saints secondary was targeting Antonio Brown really, really heavily,

159
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: so I I think that's why he wasn't involved in

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the passing game. I don't quite know what this means

161
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: moving forward. You have to look at their schedule from

162
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: here on out. Next up they play the Jets, then

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: they take on the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the Falcons, and

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: then they're on a buy. So I really don't know

165
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: what to do about this. I think Antonio Brown is

166
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: a flex play at best because what we've seen the

167
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: last few weeks is that Tom Brady really likes to

168
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: spread the ball to multiple receiving options. Antonio Brown now

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: will be one of those, but I don't expect him

170
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: to have the continual bulk of targets. The possibility of

171
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown not having a great game was always in

172
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: the range of outcomes. I mean, I feel like all

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: of us and you included Kimmy said, if you're playing

174
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, it is a little bit of a yolo

175
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: play because we had no idea exactly what was going

176
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, Bruce arians made the point he

177
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: could play tin snaps, he could play you know, thirty

178
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: to forty snaps. We just don't know. We thought, we

179
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: hoped that maybe Tom Brady would sort of try to

180
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: force the issue a little bit to get the ball

181
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: into Antonio Brown's hands, but that just wasn't the case.

182
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: And so we all sort of knew that this was

183
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: a possibility. And look, if you went out and you

184
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: invested some some free agent capital, whether it's a waiver

185
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: wire priority, whether it was some some of your fab budget,

186
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: whatever it was, Uh, you knew that this was potentially

187
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: going to happen. But you're also not going to just

188
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, abandon ship after one game. And you mentioned

189
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: some of the games that are coming up. I mean

190
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: that the Jets are coming up that potentially is a

191
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: get right game for this offense. So we still I

192
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: think we need to sort of see how a B

193
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: fits in alongside Chris god went alongside Mike Evans, who

194
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, again, that offense didn't do much as a

195
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: as a whole, so it's not like you had any

196
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: real individual standout performances there. So we still are trying

197
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: to figure out how this group is all going to

198
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: work together. So maybe we just you know, we try

199
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: again next week, and we and we see it again

200
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: next week. What's going to happen? As for Tom Brady?

201
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: What do we do with him next week? I mean,

202
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, we were sort of saying he was a

203
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: matchup based starter. Uh you know, they've got you know,

204
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: some games coming up, the Carolina Panthers, for instance, on

205
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: the schedule, who have been tough on quarterbacks. He's still

206
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: just kind of a matchup based guy right now. I

207
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: mean he absolutely is. Since beaking of this Panthers game,

208
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,479
Speaker 1: they are tenth best amongst quarterbacks are excuse me against quarterbacks.

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: This season. So I've been saying that Tom Brady was

210
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: a streaming quarterback this entire season, and actually I have

211
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: full confidence saying I'm going to sit him next week.

212
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: I understand that he's kind of a boom a bus guy.

213
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: He has these games where he does absolutely nothing like

214
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: last night, and then he has other games where he

215
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: goes out and throws five touchdowns and has like thirty

216
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: five fantasy points. For me, it's just way too much

217
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: of a risky play. And I do have some other

218
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: quarterback options and some guys on who are probably available

219
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire that we're going to chat later

220
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: on in the show. But I think just have a

221
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: lot more better consistency. So Tom Brady, he's a fade

222
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: for me, especially next week against the Panthers. But then,

223
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: like we said, things could look up against the New

224
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: York Jets. But can I say one thing, also, can

225
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I say one thing. I'm just really happy that Tom

226
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: Brady shook Drew Brees hand. That's all I know. That

227
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: was sort of an issue earlier in the year that

228
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: he was in against the Bears, wasn't ye he refuses

229
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: to Nick Fole's hand. Yeah, yeah, I know that was

230
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's handshake ghazi for a while, so

231
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: we we put this one to bed at least with

232
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. So that was that was good to see.

233
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: As as for Brady himself again, I'm I'm staying where

234
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: I was with him at the beginning of the season

235
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: that I I had him right around the quarterback eleven

236
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: or twelve. Uh, he's a fringe QB one and a

237
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, and I think he's still there. He's

238
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: going to have those big games, He's gonna have some

239
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: not so big games. Obviously you didn't think a two

240
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: point game was necessarily in the offing, but you know,

241
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: this is where we are, so uh, you know, I

242
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: think you still play a week by week and chances

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: are if you have Tom Brady, you probably have another

244
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: quarterback on your roster or there are some guys out

245
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire that you can get to and

246
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: as Kimmy Mitchell will talk about those a little bit

247
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: later on in the show. So I think still everything

248
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: is what it was with Tom Brady. There's no need

249
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: to really freak out other than if you played him

250
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: and you got it too and now you're losing, and um,

251
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: you're probably you know, punching the air right now, So

252
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: good luck with that. UM over to Minnesota. Dalvin Cook

253
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: does it again. I mean a couple of weeks ago

254
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: he had a blow up game that got you over

255
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: forty points. This week he got you well over thirty points.

256
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Nearly forty points again for Dalvin Cook. So on Friday

257
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: with Michael left Florio on this show, we talked about

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: uh Davante Adams and and his huge performances and whether

259
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: or not he's worthy of being in the fantasy m

260
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: VP conversation. I'm gonna ask about Dalvin Cook. And maybe

261
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: this is recency bias or being caught up in the moment,

262
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: but where does he fit potentially in this fantasy m

263
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: v P race. Oh, he's a hundred percent and there

264
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: and for for someone who's a non quarterback, he's the

265
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: number one m v P option for me right behind

266
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: right above. Excuse me, Alvin Kamara. I understand that you're saying, oh,

267
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: maybe this which is the last few weeks where he

268
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: put up over forty fantasy points and now he put

269
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: up thirty nine fantasy points, whatever it may be, because

270
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: his his lowest scoring fantasy point game this season with

271
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy points. The consistency has been there all along.

272
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you see this team, they're a very run

273
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: heavy team, even though they're very good Kirk Cousins is

274
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: with a good deep ball threat, especially with Adam Feeling,

275
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: they understand where their strengths are. Their strengths are in

276
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. He rushed the ball twenty two times for

277
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: two and six yards and two touchdowns against the lines

278
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: here like he's he's dynamic, he's involved in passing game

279
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: and the run game. He also had two receptions for

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: forty six yards. You have to understand that this guy

281
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: is an m v P like four, and he is

282
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: a fantasy m VP for sure if you're lucky enough

283
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: to have him on your squad. He right now is

284
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: the RB two, just about ten points behind Alvin Kamara,

285
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and that's having missed the game because of injuries. So

286
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: if you it look, maybe maybe something happens and he

287
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't score ten points in that one game he played,

288
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: it was against the Falcons, but some chances are he

289
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: probably does, so he very well could be your RB

290
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: one right now. He scored a touchdown in every game

291
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: he's played. He's had multiple touchdowns. And four of the

292
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: games he's played. Uh, I'm not going to necessarily crown

293
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: him m v P, but I think you put him,

294
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: you put Alvin Kamara, you put Davonte Adams. Of three

295
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: guys on that name, on those names on my board

296
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: over my shoulder here, you put them all in the

297
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: race right now for the fantasy m v P, and

298
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe when it's all said and done, it

299
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: ends up being a quarterback, it ends up being I

300
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: don't know, Russell Wilson or Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes

301
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. But I think that all three

302
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: of those guys are very much in the conversation. And

303
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: I know that you know. Last week we tweeted out

304
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: the video about Davante Adams. Couple people were like, he

305
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: was a first round pick, L O L. I'm like,

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's disqualifying, Like, I don't understand

307
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: that being he looked Christian McCaffrey a couple of years

308
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: ago or last year was a fantasy m v P.

309
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: He was a high first round pick. So I don't

310
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: think where you draft somebody, UH is necessarily disqualifying of

311
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: them being an m VP candidate. If they are playing

312
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: well enough to be an MVP candidate. Speaking of which,

313
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was a fantasy m v P. Certainly in

314
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: his time, he was also an NFL m v P.

315
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: But so far Lamar has been kind of lived me

316
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: and it was again sort of on display on Sunday.

317
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Admittedly it was against a good Colts defense for just

318
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: a teen fantasy points. And we haven't had the huge

319
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: Lamar jacks In blow up game that we were expecting.

320
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: So I just have to ask, are we at a

321
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: point where he's Is he still in every week? Automatic

322
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: plug him into your lineup starter? I mean, come on, yes,

323
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: of course he is, because you have to look at

324
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: the upside. He rushes the ball. That's part of the

325
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: reason why he got to his m v P status

326
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: last year, both in fantasy and in real terms of

327
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. I understand that he's not been playing and

328
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: throwing the ball the same way that we saw last season,

329
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: but you just saw you just saw him run into

330
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: the end zone. He has that huge upside, So I

331
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: understand that he's not completely blown up in one week

332
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: this season, but he just scored his third rushing touchdown

333
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: on this season this week and he also completed nineteen

334
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: of twenty three passes. He's a good quarterback. He just

335
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: may not be the Fantasy MVP this year. And that's fine. Yes,

336
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: you are absolutely right, and I think you know, but

337
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: I do think they're going to be people who were

338
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: sort of freaking out a little bit. I mean, you know,

339
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: he he hasn't had a thirty point game yet this year.

340
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: He's only had three games where he's thrown for more

341
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: than two hundred yards. He hasn't had two hundred and

342
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: fifty yards since Week one, and he's not running generally

343
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: as much as he was last year. There are definitely

344
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: some things about this Ravens offense that are different. But

345
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: and Adam right pointed this out last week at least

346
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: before the game, that he was the QB ten And

347
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: I think he is at the moment sitting it at

348
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: QB eleven. But he is still a QB one in

349
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: most leagues. And you're right, that rushing floor is going

350
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: to keep him propped up. It is going to be

351
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the reason that you can't really fade him in any

352
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: given week. It I know, for people who like to

353
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: wait on a quarterback, this will be the cautionary tale right,

354
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: why you don't necessarily reach early for quarterbacks. To witch point,

355
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: I'll look back and I'll say, Petrick mahomes Um. But

356
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think I do think you know, I

357
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: do think it's sort of that it will reinforce that

358
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: belief of if you wait on a quarterback. This is

359
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: going to sort of reinforce that. But in the end,

360
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Lamar is still putting up numbers that will make you

361
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: at least competitive week to week in your fantasy leagues.

362
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: So even if he's not giving you the huge bananas

363
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: weeks uh consistently, you're at leastill getting good production from him.

364
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: And look, it could be worse. You could be out

365
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: there trying to stream quarterbacks and fight on the waiver

366
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: wire week to week. At least you know you have

367
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: some security in that position. Speaking of which, our last

368
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: little bit of headline here, Josh Allen looks like he's

369
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: back at least for one week. Had a huge game

370
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and we were all

371
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: sort of pegging this is potentially a get right game.

372
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: I know you were big on him this past week.

373
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Give me so after what we saw on Sunday, are

374
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: we cool now is it all good? Oh? We are.

375
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: We are the closest friends now, Josh Allen and I

376
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: we are homies. He's invited to the cook out, he's

377
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: invited to the wedding. We're good. And like you said,

378
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: we did expect this to be a get right bounce

379
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: back game just because of the amount of points that

380
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have allowed to fantasy quarterbacks this season. But

381
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: it really did did show and remind us that Josh

382
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: Allen is an incredible quarterback. Four hundred and fifteen seniords,

383
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: three passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown himself. I think

384
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: the really exciting thing is is what's going to happen

385
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: next week when he takes on Kyler Murray and the

386
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. We saw the other game that the Seahawks

387
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: lost this season was against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals,

388
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: and now the Bills just beat them again. So now

389
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, earlier on in the season, all three of

390
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: those guys were in the m v P conversation Russell Wilson,

391
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Kyler Murray. So now we're gonna fully see

392
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: those two, Kyler Murray and Josh Allen on full display.

393
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to start him yet again and

394
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: know that we are cool and he's never gonna crash

395
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: and not be Fantasy relevant again, or else we're gonna

396
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: have problems. Here's the thing, though, because just like we

397
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: talked about with Lamar Jackson, you know, for the most part,

398
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has still given you some usable weeks. He

399
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: had those three weeks where he was around fifteen sixteen

400
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, he had the twelve that he put up

401
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: against the Patriots in what were just kind of an

402
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: ugly game. But for the most part, he's not giving

403
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: you these these gruesome looking floor plays. And think that's

404
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: sort of the reason that he kind of kept going

405
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: back to him because you felt like at some point

406
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: it was going to turn again, that it was going

407
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: to come back the right way. And like Lamar Jackson,

408
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: he still gives you a semi safe rushing floor. We

409
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: know that he will get some work down near the

410
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: goal line, although Zack Moss seems to be sliding into

411
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: some of that a little bit, but there's still reason

412
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: to kind of believe that Josh Allen is going to rebound.

413
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that for as much

414
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: as as you know, he sort of gets maligned. I mean,

415
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: he's been a top ten, top twelve fantasy quarterback each

416
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: to the last couple of years, and now he has

417
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: more weapons to work with. So uh yeah, I think

418
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: I think we're good with Josh Allen. So hopefully this

419
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: gets him back to where he was the first couple

420
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season. All Right, So those are

421
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: the guys that we are for the most part. Okay

422
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: with now the new segment we're calling I'm Salty, we're

423
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some guys that kind of left you

424
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: wanting something, got you a little bit heated over the weekend.

425
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: And the first one Kimmy new Copkins. Um, you know,

426
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: I know the Dolphins have been playing better, but we

427
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: think your nuke is nuke. Right, Well, maybe Xavian Howard

428
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of trumps that because we didn't get much out

429
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: of DeAndre Hopkins at all this week. Right, this was

430
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: his least productive game of the entire season. And it

431
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: was a tough one for me because when we were

432
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live earlier this week, I said, Kyler Murray,

433
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, this could be the number one stack of

434
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: the week. It's a great matchup there to go out

435
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: and ball out. But then we only saw that he

436
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: had three targets and three receptions, so at least he

437
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: caught every target that went his way. But he ended

438
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: with six fantasy points. And I really do think that

439
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: this is, you know, just a consequence of that really

440
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: good defense and that secondary who was all over him

441
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: the entire time. I think he's gonna completely bounce back.

442
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: I was just talking about Josh Allen, the you know

443
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: nuke and and Kyler Murray take on the Buffalo Bills

444
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: next week and that's a really good matchup at the

445
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. So I think things are good. But

446
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: this was kind of a head scratcher and a tough one.

447
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: But again, in fantasy football, you're gonna have these situations

448
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: where guys who are still very very very good football

449
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: players half off games, and a lot of that could

450
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: be because of the game script or because of a

451
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: really tough matchup, So don't hit the panic button. It

452
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: was just kind of an off week that I think

453
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: is the biggest takeaway. It just it just was a

454
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: bad week. And give credits to Xavian Howard who did

455
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: a good job of locking down on DeAndre Hopkins. That

456
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: might be a lesson to learn going forward, though, if

457
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: your opponent or your wide receivers playing against the Dolphins,

458
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: will they match up with Howard? And what is that

459
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: going to do potentially for them? I mean that's the

460
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: next week, it's the Chargers. I mean, does that mean

461
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: we should be a little concerned about Keenan Allen or

462
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. I mean we will sort of kind of

463
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: gauge that as the week goes along. But I don't

464
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: think you worry about new Copkins. But you know, you

465
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: have a right to be a little bit salty after

466
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday. James Connor had what looked like

467
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: a dream matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys defense

468
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: had been miserable all year long. I mean, most people

469
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: were sort of pegging this to be a Steelers blowout.

470
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: It was far from it. In fact, Pittsburgh had to

471
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: struggle to even eventually get to win. But James Connor

472
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: got you, I think twenty whole yards on eleven touches.

473
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty. Uh, you gotta be really salty if

474
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: you started gunner this week, you gotta be salty because

475
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: when we did a fantasy you know. I think when

476
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: we did Fantasy Game Day on Sunday, we're talking, We're like,

477
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: we want every single part of the Steelers. They're gonna

478
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: blow up, They're gonna blow up the Cowboys, and then

479
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: this happened. You're like, what is going on? Thankfully, at

480
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: least Juju had a kind of bounce back get right week.

481
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: But James Conner, I really do think this is a

482
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: situation where the game script just wasn't there, because, like

483
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: you said, we were expecting for this to be a

484
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: Steelers blowout and then then run the ball a toime

485
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: to kind of give give Big Bin and his shoulder

486
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break. But that didn't happened,

487
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: and the Steelers actually played from behind the first half

488
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: of the football game, meaning that once we hit the

489
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: second half, Big Ben was in in catch up mode

490
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: and they had to throw the ball a lot more So,

491
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: James Conner just wasn't involved in the run game whatsoever. Again,

492
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: don't hit the panic button. This was just an off

493
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: week altogether. But I am salty. I'm full on salty.

494
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, this game did not go as you mentioned,

495
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: did not go the way we expect. I think in

496
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: all of our heads, the way we scripted this out

497
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: was the Steelers go out, they throw the football early,

498
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, Juju and Beyonce and Chase Claypool, they get

499
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: there's early on. And then in the second half, with

500
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: a big lead and cruising, it's James Conner time and

501
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: he gets to eat. Well. The problem is the first

502
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: half everything was just sort of stunted, right, I mean

503
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 1: just everything nothing happened for the Steelers offense. And so

504
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: then in the second half they did what we thought

505
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: they would do with the first half, which is to

506
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: throw the football, get all their receivers involved, and then

507
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: score a whole lot of points. So yeah, this this

508
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: this did not go the way we thought. It kind

509
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: of went sideways there. James Conner, I think is still

510
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: quart of a fringe RB one, more of an RB two. Potentially.

511
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: It just didn't happen this week. And you are You're

512
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: not happy, You're a little bit you're you're a little

513
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: bit salted, a little bit seasoned after this one, all right,

514
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: last one, Corey Davis. And on paper, we knew the

515
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: matchup against the Bears was going to be difficult, so

516
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't necessarily expecting a huge blow up game Corey Davis.

517
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: But Jimmy, I didn't think that he would have the

518
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: same number of catches as you and I combined. I

519
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: didn't see that one coming at all. Just a big

520
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: fat donut from Corey Davis on three targets. This this

521
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: gives you, I think, a lot of right to be salty,

522
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: oh percent. But I was smart and started A J.

523
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Brown instead, So I'm feeling pretty happy today. But yeah,

524
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: this this was salty again. I think this was game script,

525
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: right Ryan Tannehill. He only threw twenty one passes, meaning

526
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: that he only was able to get John new Smith

527
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: and A J. Brown involved and give them decent stat lines. Now. Now, though,

528
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of a salt based situation

529
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: where we're upset at Corey Davis and we're taking it personally.

530
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: He has either had a touchdown or a hundred receiving

531
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: yards in four of his last seven games this season,

532
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: and I think next week it's another tough matchup against

533
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: the Cult, so I would again temper expectations, but I

534
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: don't think he'll put up a big old doughnut yet again. Yeah,

535
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: you gotta think he's He's not gonna put up a

536
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: goose eg next week, and I would tell you that

537
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: I sat a J. Brown. Oh yeah, you know, I

538
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: mean I got I got a decent performance. Uh you know,

539
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: it was not an A J. Brown type performance, but

540
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: I got an okay performance out of it instead. But yeah,

541
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: I really was sort of spooked by that Bears matchup.

542
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: And I still believe in the Corey Davis, you know,

543
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: the redemption season, if you will, the breakout season. He's

544
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: on his Davante Parker right now. So I still think

545
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, and I'm still pretty confident in him.

546
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: But I was not expecting what we saw from him

547
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: on So I guess what we didn't see from him

548
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: because we didn't really see much of it at all

549
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,199

558
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: we do with this time every Monday. So we got

559
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: three guys, all three quarterbacks, all three pretty young quarterbacks,

560
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: who all played on Sunday, and kind of a dissect

561
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: their performances and talk about how we feel about them

562
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: going forward. So the first one is Jake Luton down

563
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Now, he stepped out and one of his

564
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: first throws ended up as a seventy six yard touchdown

565
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: pass to DJ Chark, And it was sort of an

566
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: up and down game for Luton. He was hot early,

567
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: he got went cold, and he got hot again. The

568
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: Jaguars ended up losing, but Luton certainly was not the issue,

569
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: or not necessarily the main reason that they didn't beat

570
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. You see that there are three hundred

571
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: and four passing yards a touchdown, also had a rushing touchdown. Now,

572
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Gardner Minshew is not completely out of the mix.

573
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: He's still rehabbing an injured thumb. But with what you

574
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: saw from Jake Luton, I mean, how do you feel

575
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: about and what's your confidence level in him continuing to

576
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: perform well, if he gets the chance. I mean, a

577
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: twenty one fantasy point debut is not bad and getting

578
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: d Jhark back to relevancy. He sat on my bench

579
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: and I just watched all of those points accumulate because

580
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: we're like, oh no, he's not gonna be good, and

581
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: then Jake Luton makes him relevant again. Passing yards, you

582
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: have to understand, that's a really, really, really good stat line.

583
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: We didn't really know what to expect. I think Adam

584
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: Rank was really hype on Jake Luten. He's like, he's

585
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw three passing touchdowns and be incredible. He didn't

586
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: quite get there. Yes, he had a touchdown, also had

587
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: an interception, but he also rushed for a touchdown. I

588
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: do think that there's some upside there, But you have

589
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: to look at the situation with Gardner Minshew. As we've seen,

590
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars are little up and down. We don't

591
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: really know what their front office does in terms of

592
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: decision making. It's it's kind of hard to pinpoint. But

593
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 1: I do think from here on out, Jake Luton is

594
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: going to presumably start at least the next few weeks.

595
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Next week, he has a really tough matchup against the

596
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, who are eighth toughest on quarterbacks. So

597
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to go out and

598
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: start him and stream him right away. But he's only

599
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: rostered in point two percent of NFL dot com league's

600
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: so he's he's available if you really do need some help. Um,

601
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: if you guys here, come to me, come to me,

602
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: hit me on camera. I'm gonna show you this. I'm

603
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna show you my confidence meter. Okay, so here's zero,

604
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: this is like, okay, this is a hundred. I think

605
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm like here on Luton maybe right as a cheerleader again,

606
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm like doing like drugs. Yeah, it's not bad, it's

607
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: not bad. I thought he had to find debut. You

608
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned the point two percent roster do on NFL

609
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: dot Com. Me thinks that happened between Sunday night and

610
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Me thinks that people went and saw what

611
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: he did and went and say, hey, maybe we should

612
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: just add this guy just in case. I will say

613
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: the things that are working against but let me just

614
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: say the things that worked for him. I mean, he

615
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: went out there and obviously showed no fear, was not

616
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: afraid to throw the ball down field and get his

617
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: best receiver involved. That's definitely a positive. He really tried

618
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: to bring the jaguar Is all the way back. They

619
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: just couldn't get a two point conversion and that was

620
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: sort of the difference between them losing that game and

621
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: tying it and possiblely sending it to overtime. That was good.

622
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: What's working against him is one, as you mentioned, Gardner

623
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: Minshew hasn't completely lost the job yet. He's still dealing

624
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: with an injury, and I think when he's healthy he's

625
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: still going to have a claim to be the starter there.

626
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: The other part is also what you mentioned as the schedule.

627
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: It's the Packers this week, Uh, it's the Steelers the

628
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: week after that, So you know, the the combination of

629
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: the schedule nothing be one that makes you want to

630
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: start him. And the fact that the incumbent quarterback is

631
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: likely going to come back means that I loved what

632
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: I saw to Jake Luton. I love the fact that

633
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: he made DJ Chark relevant and James Robinson could still

634
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: go out and get his touches as well. I think

635
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: I think there are too many factors working unfortunately against

636
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Jake Luton as being a thing long term in Jacksonville.

637
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: But hey, man pack twelve after dark getting it shine.

638
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Going from Washington State to Oregon State. Man, we're getting

639
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: We're getting some Pact twelve love down there in Duval County.

640
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: And I for one dig it all right, staying in

641
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: the state of Florida to a tag of Valoa. I mean,

642
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: I guess he played that game in Arizona. But he

643
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: played for the Miami Dolphins, and last week against the Rams,

644
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: they didn't need him to do a whole lot because

645
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: the defense played really well on Sunday. They needed a

646
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: little bit more out of him, and he responded in

647
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: a big way. He spread the football around, he made plays,

648
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: he ran the ball fairly effectively when he needed to.

649
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: I gotta think that, considering how how confident you were

650
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: about Jake Luton, you've got to be super confident to

651
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and now, oh, I hype Onto. And I think this

652
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: is also just a really fun game because you think

653
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: about him and Kyler Murray playing against each other in college.

654
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: You think about the Heisman race. So I kind of

655
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: went in thinking that two was gonna ball out and

656
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: he was going to shine, and that he did. Now,

657
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: this is an impressive step. He completed of his throws

658
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: an average eight point eight point nine yards per attached.

659
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: He was really, really, really good, finished with over twenty

660
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: one fantasy points, fourteen among fantasy quarterbacks, and he also

661
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: finished just shy of leading the team in rushing yards.

662
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Because of that, I have full confidence into it from

663
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: here on out. He's a guy who is probably available

664
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: out on the waiver wire in most leagues. And they

665
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: have a favorable schedule. Next up they take on the Chargers,

666
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: then the Broncos, then the Jets, and then the Bengals.

667
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: If you look at all those team UH and their defenses,

668
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: they're giving up points to the quarterback position. He has

669
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: a high upside because that he also rushes the ball.

670
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: He has a good arm, he can throw the ball.

671
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: So confidence metertime, are we ready? Boom? Luton was like, there,

672
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: you're all the way over here. I'm feeling I am.

673
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: I am incredibly confident into UH. And you see or

674
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: you see why you know all the jokes about Tank

675
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: for two, what we're going on a couple of years ago,

676
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: and you see why the Dolphins were super excited about him,

677
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: and you know for where we were maybe a few

678
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and we were sort of handwringing over why

679
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: would the Dolphins make the change at her back? Now,

680
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: why would they go away from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Now you're

681
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: seeing why Miami made the change. I mean, we we

682
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: love Fitzy. He's fun to watch, but the ceiling with

683
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Toa is definitely higher. So I think you gotta really

684
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: be excited about what's coming. You mentioned the match up

685
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, who have been very friendly to quarterbacks

686
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. So we'll talk way

687
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: over wire stuff in a while, but but to a

688
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: tag of Bloa as a guy that's going to be very,

689
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: very popular I think on waiver wire, and he's available

690
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: in a vast majority of NFL dot com leagues. Last

691
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: one up Garrett Gilbert for the Dallas Cowboys, and I

692
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: know that immediately his performance doesn't necessarily blow you away.

693
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, fourteen and a half fantasy points, that's

694
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: not really anything to write home about. But I put

695
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: him in here because he went out and he did

696
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: that against arguably the league's best defense. I mean, the

697
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys had the Steelers on their heels for most of

698
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: that game, and Gilbert went out. He was very aggressive.

699
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: He got a Marie Cooper and CD Lamb involved in

700
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: this one. So I mean, considering what the result was

701
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: and who the opponent was, where's your confidence level in

702
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert. I mean it's there, and it was. I

703
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: was rooting for them because you know, the Steelers are undefeated,

704
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: so if they lost a game, I'd be fine with it,

705
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: and I kind of ready for a Cowboy bounce back

706
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: and just give them a little bit of faith. But

707
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: we have to look at what's going to happen. Now.

708
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Jake Luton, uh and Gardner Minshew.

709
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are now on a buy and then they

710
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: come back in week eleven and then Andy Dalton re

711
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: enters the conversation. So now it becomes a question of

712
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: what is Mike McCarthy and that coaching staff going to

713
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: do at the quarterback position. So just because of that,

714
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't really know where my confidence is if I

715
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: had to do the meter, and probably like here, so

716
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: the lowest out of the guys on this list because

717
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: we don't really know what's going to happen from here

718
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: on out. I think with at least with Jake Luten,

719
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more confidence that he could play

720
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. But in this situation, Shan, you

721
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: really have no idea if they're going to go back

722
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton or if this guy's gonna stay in

723
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: the lineup. I I have a feeling that we probably

724
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: have seen the last of Garrett Gilbert, barring obviously another injury.

725
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: Not not wishing it, but that might be the thing

726
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: that would have to get him back on the field,

727
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: because you're right, when Andy Dalton is healthy, he's probably

728
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna come back and take over that job again. So

729
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: it was a nice one week thing from Garrett Gilbert.

730
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: It was It was kind of fun to go out

731
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: there and see him kind of rock the Steelers a

732
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: little bit. And I know folks that were in survivor

733
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: pools that I took the Steelers were sweating this one

734
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: out a little bit because what seemed like a sure

735
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: thing was not so much of one. It was also

736
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: nice to see a quarterback get some of his primary

737
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: weapons involved. It was good to see a Mari Cooper

738
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: uh and Seedee Lamb kind of get the ball in

739
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: their hands again because you know, we were starting to doubt,

740
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: We were starting to get a little bit nervous, especially

741
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: this week, so maybe this can kind of uh spur

742
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: good things there. But you're right, we're not gonna see

743
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: them for a couple of weeks, but when we do,

744
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: it's a good the Minnesota Vikings. So maybe there's a

745
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: chance we can get some of these cowboys receivers back

746
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: in our lives. All right, So now you guys get

747
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: a chance out there to vote on which of these

748
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: guys you feel the most confident. And methinks I know

749
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: where that vote is going to go, but day let's

750
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: just put it out there for the masses. Anyway, you

Speaker 1: can go check it out at Kimmy's Twitter page. That's

763
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: the waiver wire options that await you heading into week ten.

764
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: We have reached the double digit weeks. Man, it goes

765
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: very quickly, but let's look. Starting at the quarterback spot.

766
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: Drew lock who's been out there for a couple of weeks,

767
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: is a nice option for you, Jared goff to a Tychavaloa,

768
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: who we talked about a little bit earlier in this show.

769
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: At running back, your options include Duke Johnson, Joshua Kelly

770
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: Klin Balage who might be the next on the list

771
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: of Adam Gay's expats to go and have some success.

772
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: J D. Mckissic, who's getting worked there in Washington as well.

773
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: Turning our attention to the wide receivers, Nelson Aghaloa, Okay,

774
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: we can. We can stop with the jokes except for

775
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: that one gift, you know, the guy with his bug

776
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: eyes that that that's still funny. But the Agila is

777
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: playing well. He's out there, Curtis Samuel talked about at

778
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: the top of the show. Jackem granted, depending on how

779
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: serious the injury is with Preston Williams down in Miami.

780
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: At tight end, you got Jordan Reed and Herv Smith.

781
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a defense to stream, the

782
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles have a very nice matchup coming up this week.

783
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: I want to go back, though, to the quarterback spot.

784
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: And you know, I've talked about Drew Lock a lot

785
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. We talked about to uh

786
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: already in this show. Jared Goff though, and I know

787
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: he's sort of been up and down, but he's a

788
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: guy with a very favorable matchup this week, and at least,

789
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, for one week, I think could be a

790
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: pretty Seldish streaming option for you. You think I'm like

791
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: still a little spoots, but because of that performance before

792
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: they're bye week against the Miami Dolphins. Now we've seen

793
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins defense is actually legit, so it kind

794
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: of makes sense why Jared Goff was completely shut down.

795
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: But you're right, he's been a little bit volatile, a

796
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: lot of up and down. But again you made a point.

797
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: His next game is against the Seattle Seahawks and then

798
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: he takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So maybe next

799
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: week he is a streaming option even though he's only

800
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: had three games with over twenty three Fantasy points. Marcus, I,

801
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: I think he's a streaming option because one, I mean,

802
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: we have seen the Seahawks just are are giving up

803
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: so many yards and so many touchdowns through the air

804
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: that that is sort of reassuring. And combine it with

805
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: the fact that Seattle doesn't give up much on the ground,

806
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: and I know that the Rams want to try to

807
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: run the football, but if they can't, then they're going

808
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: to have to put the game in Goff's hands. So

809
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: I still think that your your best options for streaming.

810
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: I think it's some combination of Drew Lock and toa

811
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: are your top two guys. But if none of those

812
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: guys are available, if Jared Goff is still hanging around

813
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: out there, and he's available in nearly fifty five of

814
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: NFL dot com leagues, then I think you can sort

815
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: of plug him in there and and hope for about

816
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen points. Because again, if you're streaming a quarterback,

817
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 1: I think you want to get around eighteen to twenty points,

818
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: and anything more than that you can consider gravy. So

819
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: while I understand the consternation about Jared Goff, I think

820
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: this is a week that you know, you can kind

821
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: of give him some run and see what he gets

822
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: for you. The other one is IRV Smith, and yeah,

823
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: time and again we get to this part of the

824
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: year and we are reminded that tight end is sort

825
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: of a struggle. And IRV Smith, who I think a

826
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: lot of us were waiting for, finally looks like he's

827
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: coming together. And so for anybody who needs tied in

828
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: helping the branted, Travis Kelsey's on a by this week,

829
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: so a lot of folks are gonna be hurting at

830
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: that spot. IRV Smith looks like he may be getting

831
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: some attention in the Minnesota offense. I love this and

832
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: you have to look. Yes, he only had you know,

833
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: ten receiving yards, but he gets he did get two touchdowns,

834
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: and that's what we want as fantasy managers. We want

835
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: to we want to get those points and that's what

836
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: he gave us. Now, speaking of the tight end position,

837
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: like you said, Travis Kelsey, he's out on a bye

838
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: this week. George Kittle presumably out for the rest of

839
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: the season. Noah Fan yesterday left the game for a

840
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: little bit because he was a little bit banged up.

841
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: Thankfully he came back into the game. If you guys

842
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: could have seen my face once Noah went out, because

843
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: I am like so stretched then at the tight end positions,

844
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: and I'm I just only load up on Iowa Hawkeye

845
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: tight end. My eye was like pulling my hair. No

846
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: wonder my hair so slicked back today, it's because I

847
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: was like this the entire time. So if you were

848
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: like me and you were irresponsible as a fantasy manager

849
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: at the tight end position, I think you can absolutely

850
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: go out and target IRV Smith as well as Logan Thomas,

851
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: as there's some good tight ends that I think are

852
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: still available in most NFL dot Com leaks. While I'm

853
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: I'm happy for no offense that he was able to

854
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: come back into the game and whatever happened didn't appear

855
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: to be serious, it did rob me of the opportunity

856
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: to come on this podcast and say the name Albert

857
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: okuya bud him I was I was bound to just

858
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: shoehorn that thing into this show because I had spent

859
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: so much time this offseason practicing how to say okuya

860
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: bun him uh, and and I I did not I

861
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: really thought we were gonna be able to talk about

862
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: him uh, you know, as a pickup this week, but uh,

863
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's good to see Fant's healthy. He's

864
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: back out there. He's a big part of the Broncos

865
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: passing game, and he really has become an important part,

866
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: uh in fantasy as well. If you are making a

867
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: waiver claim, if you have top priority this week on

868
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: your waiver wire, where are you focusing your efforts? Well,

869
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: the news of Christian McCaffrey, the news heard around the world,

870
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: the news around her, the fantasy world. Now that's got

871
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: me completely shook up because I do have a few

872
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: shares of Christian McCaffrey, and I've been kind of playing

873
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: around the running back position this entire season, but I

874
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: have to look ahead to the playoffs because of that.

875
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: This is a little it was a little risky, but

876
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: not actually because he was really good this week. I

877
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: want to look to go get j D. Mckiss ge.

878
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: Now I know later on in the show, I don't

879
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: want to tease it too much, We're going to talk

880
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: about which guy do you trust more, Antonio Kipson or Mkissic.

881
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: But I'm rocking with Mkissic on this one because of

882
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: his performance this week. I'm really stretched then after running

883
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: back position. So I think we would to go out

884
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: there risk it for the biscuit. Mkissic, Oh that was good.

885
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: Oh I'm a rapper dropping bars. Uh. Jamie mckissic actually

886
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of snaps in Washington and and

887
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: you're right. We will talk about this in the next

888
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: segment because for this reason that mckissic is playing a lot,

889
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: and you know, it is sort of clouding the situation

890
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: back there between he and Antonio Gibson, so that that

891
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: definitely makes sense. I want to go with Tua because

892
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: of a couple of teams that are on to buy.

893
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are onunded by the Falcons are on a buy,

894
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: which means Patrick Mahomes is not playing. It means that

895
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is not playing for anybody that's rostered him

896
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: or has been starting him the last few weeks. So

897
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: I think needing and quarterbacks were to be important. I

898
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: like what to have brought. I like the fact that

899
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: he's got the Chargers as a matchup, and I like that,

900
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that potentially has some staying

901
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: power in a year where we've already seen two of

902
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks go out and do well, and Joe

903
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: Burrow and Justin Herbert maybe too. I can sort of

904
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: take that next step as well, So I would try

905
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of my energy seeing how I

906
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: could get him off the waiver wire in spots where

907
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: he is available. Running back rotations are the bane of

908
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: our fantasy existence, but we still have to figure out

909
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: how to navigate them in order to be successful. We've

910
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the rams to the point that

911
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we I don't know. We We

912
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: either have solved it or we've just given up. So

913
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: we'll still stay away from that one for now. But

914
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: let's get to one. And we teased it earlier in Washington,

915
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: where you know, we have been big on Antonio Gibson

916
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: all season long, and he's got really nice weeks in

917
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: there for Washington and for fantasy. But now the last

918
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks we've seen a lot more JD mckissic,

919
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: and he had a nice game on Sunday against the Giants,

920
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: and he actually played more snaps than than Antonio Gibson.

921
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: So if you have to plant a flag somewhere in

922
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: that Washington backfield, are you planting it on the makissic

923
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: side or the Gibson side. Understanding that you know, you

924
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: talked about picking up mkissic off the waiver wire, but

925
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, all things being equal, which side are you

926
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: rocking with? Alright, all sides being equal, I'm gonna rock

927
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: with Antonio Gibson, though I do think that j D

928
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: mckissic will still continue to be involved in that run game,

929
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: even though he has kind of played more stops than

930
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: Gibson the last few weeks. I think Gibson is the

931
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: number one lead back in that offense, and there's just

932
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more consistency there for me. So I'm

933
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: gonna rock with Gibson, but still try and go get

934
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: Jad mckissic out on the waiver wire. I have often

935
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: said that when it comes to fantasy football and fantasy analysis,

936
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: we tend to like the shiny new things, and Antonio

937
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: Gibson is kind of the shiny new thing in the

938
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: Washington offense. I mean, j D mckissic has been playing well,

939
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: but he's also a guys who's kind of been around

940
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: the league a little bit. We have seen him, we

941
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: saw him never really get a full opportunity in Seattle

942
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: in the past, and he's sort of buried on the

943
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: depth chart in Washington, and so at some point you

944
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: start to wonder, well, maybe there's a reason for that.

945
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: There is a reason that Washington elevated uh Antonio Gibson

946
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: has has given him a big role. So I'm with you,

947
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Gibson on this one

948
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: and and believe that he's going to be the guy

949
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: that sort of went out. But understanding, like you said,

950
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: mckissic is still going to hang around. He's not going

951
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: to disappear because it seems to be working having this

952
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: two headed attack back there, especially considering the issues they've had.

953
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: A quarterback. Didn't mention even that Kyle Allen suffered a

954
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: really awful looking ankle injury, so we're not sure how

955
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: long he's going to be out. So that really does

956
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: cloud things in the Washington offense. Over to Detroit, we

957
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: keep asking for DeAndre Swift to just get a full workload,

958
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: to be a true workhorse, and obviously our please have

959
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: fallen on deaf ears in the Motor City because Adrian

960
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: Peterson is still getting on the field, Carrie on Johnson

961
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: is starting to get more snaps and more touches here.

962
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: So whatever we want for DeAndre Swift, as I always say,

963
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: it's good to want things, but apparently what we want

964
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: for DeAndrea Swift is not what we're going to get. Nonetheless,

965
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: which running back of those three do you trust the

966
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: most in that backfield? I'm still rocking with Swift on

967
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: this one, and and maybe they'll hear our battle cries

968
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: to really get him incorporated in the run game any

969
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: more even more, but he did account for a thirteen

970
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: of the team's twenty seven total Russians attempt This is

971
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: his second highest total of the season. And he wasn't horrible.

972
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: He was pretty He was pretty effective, racking up two

973
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: carries for more than fifteen yards. But you also have

974
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: to see he's an evolved in the passing game and

975
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: he has huge upside just because he does get some

976
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: red zone opportunities and looks as well. So I know

977
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: it's going to continue to be cloudy, but I think

978
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: with confidence we can say that it's DeAndre Swift. I

979
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: completely agree. I guess what's frustrating to me is you

980
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: see that line there, right he ends up with nineties

981
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: seven scrimmage yards on six team touches. That's pretty efficient.

982
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty effective, and yet it's really frustrating to see

983
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: the Lions still running those other guys out there. I mean,

984
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: here you are. You aren't trying to build this team.

985
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an offense that has sort of

986
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: gone backwards. It's a team that has gone backwards since

987
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia has taken over. But here you are with

988
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to build this team around a dynamic young

989
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: running back, and for whatever reason, you decide to still

990
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,479
Speaker 1: trot out your thirty five year old veteran running back

991
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: and give him touches. I don't understand it. I mean

992
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: I say it partially selfishly out of fancy purposes because

993
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's when I get paid to talk about,

994
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: but also because it just seems to make sense from

995
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: a football perspective. Why not give your young guy who

996
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: you spent some draft capital on the opportunity to go

997
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: out and prove what he can do, especially when he

998
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: has gone out and shown you on multiple occasions what

999
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: it is he can do. But then again, I talk

1000
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: about fake football for a living, So whatever um staying

1001
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: in the Midwest and moving over to Indianapolis. The Jonathan

1002
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: Taylor experiment isn't quite working out the way I think

1003
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot of us anticipated it would be. And it's

1004
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: not for lack of opportunity. They are giving him chances.

1005
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: He's just not doing much with it. And then on Sunday,

1006
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: I had a costly fumble that turned into a scoop

1007
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: and score. We started to see more Jordan Wilkins, we

1008
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: started to see more Nihim Hines. This is a full

1009
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: on competition now back there. So again, if you're planting

1010
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: the flag in Indianapolis, where are you going? I don't know, Like,

1011
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: like like I was, I was really thinking of this

1012
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: question of like who can who could I side with?

1013
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: Part of me still wants to say Jonathan Taylor, because

1014
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: they went out and been a first round pick on him,

1015
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: and he did start as the number one back in

1016
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: that offense. But then I feel like it was a

1017
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a petty party yesterday because because then

1018
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: we we saw Jordan Wilkins get involved, and you can

1019
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: see head coach Frank right really really making it abundantly

1020
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: clear that he's completely fine having Wilkins involved. Thankfully, Jonathan

1021
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: Taylor got into the end zone and got a touchdown,

1022
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: which helped my fantasy team. But this is like the

1023
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: number one running back conundrum for me, and I really

1024
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: don't even know how to move forward, especially as we

1025
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 1: get closer to the fantasy playoffs of if Jonathan Taylor

1026
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: is still in every week starter or not. Eight touches

1027
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: for thirty or four yards for Jonathan Taylor. You mentioned

1028
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown, which sort of helped, but the fumble definitely

1029
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: did not. And as much as people want to make

1030
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: him a thing this year, it maybe it just doesn't

1031
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: happen this year, at least not the way we want.

1032
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: And it looks like the Colts are starting to get

1033
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: frustrated waiting for it to happen. And here's the thing.

1034
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: I remember. I'm old enough to remember Melvin Gordon's rookie season,

1035
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: and everybody watched him not scoring touchdown at all his

1036
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: rookie year and wonder whether or not he was going

1037
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: to be a bust. They look, it looks well not

1038
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: to you know, not to make any sort of correlation.

1039
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: Both of these guys are Wisconsin running backs, right, and

1040
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: so maybe it's gonna take Taylor a year or so

1041
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: to adjust, because that second year of Melvin Gordon was great.

1042
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe it's just not gonna happen the way

1043
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: it will In the meantime, I guess I guess I'm

1044
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: losing faith because I'm starting to lean more towards the

1045
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: Naheim Hinz sort of the equation. He seems to have

1046
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: a consistent role as the past catcher there. He's not

1047
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: gonna get carries the way Wilkins or Taylor will, but

1048
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: he is going to catch the football, which could mean

1049
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot in an offense that is looking for consistent,

1050
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: quality pass catchers. But this has become way more of

1051
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: a headache than I thought it was going to be.

1052
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: I did not see it going this way. And I

1053
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: know for a lot of folks who were really really

1054
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: high on Jonathan Taylor, look I was too. I thought

1055
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: I thought coming out of college he was the best

1056
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: back in that draft. But so far, through nine weeks

1057
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: of the season, it certainly has not played out that way.

1058
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to say he's the best back in the

1059
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: draft right now. It's hard to say he's even the

1060
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: best back on his own team. That's sort of where

1061
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: we are with Jonathan Taylor. One last game in Week nine,

1062
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: it is a matchup between the Patriots and the Jets,

1063
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. And by the way, if you

1064
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: haven't already, you should download the NFL Fantasy app. I mean,

00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, off doing dad detail and I can't be

1069
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: in front of the TV. I can pull up the

1070

1073
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: let's talk about this game as well here tonight between

1074
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Jets. Once upon a time, this

1075
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: was I don't want to say it's a rivalry, but

1076
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: it was. It was talked up, right. You had Bill

1077
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: Belichick and Rex Ryan and Ryan I would talk a

1078
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of trash and then the Jets to get

1079
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: thumped and everybody would have good laugh if we'd move

1080
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: on to the next week. We don't really have that

1081
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: quite so much this week, but we do still have

1082
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, who you know it was hot that he

1083
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: was cold, and he had a good game last week.

1084
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: So what do you project for Cam tonight. I'm projecting.

1085
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm doing like my little Cynthia Freeland, my little projection.

1086
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm projecting twenty three fantasy points tonight. I think this

1087
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: is another game where Cam Newton goes out and he

1088
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: can shine. The Jets obviously not so hot of a

1089
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: football team. Their defense though, Uh they're allowing the ninth

1090
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to the quarterback position. Obviously, we know

1091
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton can run the football quite effectively, So

1092
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: because of that, I think he's gonna get twenty three

1093
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: fantasy points. And hopefully he'll have a passing touchdown because

1094
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: he's had four consecutive games without one, so hopefully this

1095
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: is the get right passing touchdown game for Cam Newton.

1096
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him nineteen points, and I think a

1097
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: lot of it will be because of him running the football.

1098
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: I I have him for a rushing touchdown in this one.

1099
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: I think a passing touchdown would be sort of gravy

1100
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: if he gets one here. I know that Adam rank

1101
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: projected hit for one of his stacks has past week,

1102
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and demere Bird. In fact, I did to

1103
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: create a daily lineup with the mere Bird in it,

1104
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: just because you know if it goes anywhere, maybe that's

1105
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: where the passing touchdown goes in this one. But I

1106
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: but I do think that if Camp succeeds, it is

1107
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: going to be running the football, and I think he'll

1108
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: give you a decent number nineteen, not great, not terrible,

1109
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: but I think that's about where he will land tonight.

1110
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: Looking at the guys lining up behind him, potentially uh

1111
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots expected to activate Sony Michelle off injured reserve

1112
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: Damian Harris has been playing well, though he's a little

1113
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: bit banged up coming into this game. Would you consider

1114
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: starting one either both? Who would it be? I mean,

1115
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: we've already been burned by Patriot running backs for seasons

1116
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: upon seasons now. But if you are desperate and you

1117
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: do have to start a running back tonight, I think

1118
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: I would lean with Damian Harris. Even though he was

1119
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: questionable early this week and he's a little banged up

1120
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: with injury, I think that consistency has been there all

1121
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: season long, so I'd rock with Harris. I I don't

1122
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to go out and expect huge

1123
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: things from any of these running backs, but Harris has

1124
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: had to one yard rushing games to his name this season,

1125
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: where Sony Michelle has just done it once over the

1126
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: last twenty games he's played, I'm definitely going with with

1127
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: Damien Harris. And again, it's sort of the the shiny

1128
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: newer thing. I won't say he's a newer new thing,

1129
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: but the newer thing there. Because we've seen Sony Michelle,

1130
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: we sort of know how this goes and it's not

1131
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: particularly great. So if I had to pick one, it's

1132
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,479
Speaker 1: gonna be Damian Harris. I would give him a shot

1133
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: as a flex option. I think he's a decent piece

1134
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: for daily if you want to go that route with it.

1135
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: And at some point I would love for the Patriots

1136
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: to just sort of turn this job over to him

1137
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: in the backfield and sort of do away with all this.

1138
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we still still have James White floating around,

1139
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: Rex Birkhead floating around. At some point, it would be

1140
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: nice to see them consolidate. But we all know that

1141
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,479
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick does not care about our fan see teams,

1142
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: so that's probably not going to happen, all right. Last

1143
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: one on the other side, they're the Jets. There's not

1144
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: a lot exciting about the offense. We know Jamison Crowd

1145
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: is probably gonna see his targets. As long as he's

1146
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: out there on the field, that's fine. In the backfield,

1147
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: I have been sort of stumping for the Michael P.

1148
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: Ryan to get more opportunities. I love Frank Moore, but

1149
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense to keep giving him as

1150
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: many touches as they are. Um am, I am, I

1151
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: just am my shouting into the wind here? My screaming

1152
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: into the void? Or would you actually think about saying

1153
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: daily fantasy? Considering the Michael P. Ryan tonight, I would

1154
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: rock in a daily fantasy format. I don't think in

1155
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: a standard league I would go and start him as

1156
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: my running back. But I like the daily play. You know,

1157
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you're screaming out into the void because

1158
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: we're waiting for his blowout game. We understand that they

1159
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: have both him and Frank Gore, and you would think

1160
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 1: that they'd want to put the young guy out there

1161
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: and let him fully explode. Sadly, it just hasn't happened

1162
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: yet this season. But I do think he's on the

1163
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: fringe of making that dominant fantasy performance, So I think

1164
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: people should keep kind of keeping an eye on him

1165
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: and see when dependent on the matchup, it's smart to

1166
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: get him into your flex or play him in daily fantasy.

1167
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: This is very similar to what I said about the

1168
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: Lions earlier, that you've got a young guy out there,

1169
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: especially especially for the Jets. I mean, you are winless,

1170
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: you are not going anywhere. I mean, at least the

1171
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,959
Speaker 1: Lions can sort of pretend there's still sort of hanging

1172
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: around the playoff race a little bit. They Jets have

1173
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: no such illusions. So why not give p Ryan an

1174
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to see what he can do instead of running

1175
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: your aging back, your aged back out there and giving

1176
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: him touches. And again, I say, this is somebody who

1177
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: is a huge frontgre fan. I've loved watching him play.

1178
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: I think he deserves to be in the Hall of

1179
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: Fame when his career is over. But it just doesn't

1180
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: make sense for a team that's going nowhere to keep

1181
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: banging him into the back of his offensive line. So

1182
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that we start to see more of the

1183
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: Michael p. Ryan, and maybe it starts tonight against the Patriots.

1184
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: There you go, that is it. We are done. We

1185
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging out with The NFL Fantasy Football Show

1188
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,400

1189
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life, would you choose harder

1190
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: soft tacos. He's safe, take care of yourselves, wear a mask.

1191
