Speaker 1: Friends Forever, m Do Do Do Do Do Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do?
Speaker 1: Did it do? Yeah? Well go the Fantasy Best Friends
Speaker 1: Forever Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Frankie Stampell,
Speaker 1: I am Greg Sauceman. Frankie, what's going on it? It
Speaker 1: was a wild weekend. Week two is nearly in the books.
Speaker 1: I'm not not too great from a betting standpoint, but
Speaker 1: for myself a pretty good fantasy week. Should listen to
Speaker 1: my bets man. On Friday on the BFFs, nailed Kansas
Speaker 1: City again, nailed Cleveland, messed up on Houston, which I
Speaker 1: would have pulled down on Sunday, um, but I forgot.
Speaker 1: On Friday we were talking about this. I forgot Rabel
Speaker 1: was the old defensive coordinator for Houston, and I remembered
Speaker 1: that I would have been all over it. What I
Speaker 1: missed it? Something? I know some people actually had the
Speaker 1: Texans and Survivor this week, So true story Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: I have a partners survival that we've done it literally
Speaker 1: together for ten years now. And we had the Rams
Speaker 1: the whole way, the Rams the whole way, and then
Speaker 1: we find out that Mariotta is not playing. It's playing Gabbert.
Speaker 1: They're down to their thirstring left tackle, they have nothing left.
Speaker 1: Should we take Houston? And I'm just like, what are
Speaker 1: we doing? He's like, well, I don't know. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I get it. And then I just said, let's not
Speaker 1: get cute. Let's stick to our gut. Let's go with
Speaker 1: the Rams and stay with it. Hey man, staying alive.
Speaker 1: Look at the BFFs. We're the survivor guys, staying alive.
Speaker 1: We're the survivor guys. We had both we had both picks,
Speaker 1: correctly said rams and charges. I differentiated. I used rams
Speaker 1: and one charges in the other. And we stayed, you know,
Speaker 1: even killed week three much easier than Week two because
Speaker 1: you have the Vikings at home against the Bills. So
Speaker 1: life is good. Um. And the other reason I didn't
Speaker 1: take the Texans yesterday was because I believe it's are
Speaker 1: week four or five. The Texans play the Bills at all.
Speaker 1: There you go, so yeah, there we go. Yeah, which
Speaker 1: you know the Texans after next week, it's going to
Speaker 1: be an interesting week the Texans and Giants face off.
Speaker 1: People take the Texans by the way in that game
Speaker 1: and survived. One of those teams gonna be going three,
Speaker 1: probably Giants because they're terrible. Oh I'm sorry, Greg, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for you. It was a brutal game. Man.
Speaker 1: That was such a bad game to watch on like
Speaker 1: all friends like so shout out to the Cowboys saying
Speaker 1: like they handled their business, no problems there. Absolutely just
Speaker 1: a boring game, dude, I agree, but I don't because
Speaker 1: my fantasy match up my home league, obviously my most
Speaker 1: important going up against Evan Ingram, one of my most
Speaker 1: important leagues. We are essentially tied going into Southern Night Football.
Speaker 1: I have se Quon Barkley. He has a Zekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: and I was like, so that was like super fun,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't so fun with Zeke Elliott scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I needed like three points in the last drive from
Speaker 1: s Quon. I was like, he's definitely gonna dump it
Speaker 1: off at least twice, and I nailed it. So you
Speaker 1: ended up winning. I did. I did. I wound up.
Speaker 1: I wound up winning the skin of my teeth in
Speaker 1: that one. The other league where I the other league
Speaker 1: was really the other most important league. Um. It was very,
Speaker 1: very frustrating because I had Patty Mahomes throw over six touchdowns,
Speaker 1: which was awesome. He had Ben Roethlisberger four run one
Speaker 1: for run for one, which was not so fun. They
Speaker 1: were the number I think they were what number one
Speaker 1: in two or something like that. In terms of quarterback.
Speaker 1: I know Fitzpatrick was up there too. It was brutal.
Speaker 1: I had him Homes and faced Ben, had Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: who did nothing. I've faced Mason Crosby. It was like,
Speaker 1: what did he do? Nineteen points? Oh my god? And
Speaker 1: kickers bro it was I wanted. I tried. Um. It
Speaker 1: was brutal. It was absolute brutal. I fins Aj Green
Speaker 1: on Thursday night in this league, it's just stunk. You know, um,
Speaker 1: but I need um, I need about fifty points tonight
Speaker 1: from Jordan Howard and Brandon Marshall. Do you need a
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Flex League? By any chance? It was
Speaker 1: a quarterback Cam Newton. I believe you're pretty good. I
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton in case, you know, I have Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and Patrick Mahomes. I have Ben Roelisberger and Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes in Carton's League. It was like, all right, I
Speaker 1: mean I have the number one and two quarterback for
Speaker 1: a week to have the same thing, and look, both
Speaker 1: both teams defenses are not good, like Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: big men are gonna be in stuff every single year.
Speaker 1: Better man, Eric Barris go from Mack. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it'll make them slightly better. I think I think the
Speaker 1: rastlers of the Chiefs in the Super Bowl? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had to right, what's you when I did? I don't
Speaker 1: know what you did. I can go back and look,
Speaker 1: you might have you might have the Texans there, and
Speaker 1: you were excited about the Texans? Was I hope I
Speaker 1: was also excited about the Chiefs. That was about two
Speaker 1: teams had the Rams and the Chargers, and you know
Speaker 1: I might have charges shout out to the Charges bouncing
Speaker 1: back against the Bills. Who saw that coming? Everybody? Yes,
Speaker 1: pretty much? Um, how did you do your whole lates? Well?
Speaker 1: In my home leagues? I think overall, I have I
Speaker 1: play in six season long leagues. Everything else's best ball.
Speaker 1: I think as of right now, I'm gonna go five
Speaker 1: and one this week. And the only team that is
Speaker 1: not doing great is a team that we share together.
Speaker 1: And but we meet you and Michael Florida. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems terrible. It's terrible. Want Freeman in second rounds, just
Speaker 1: through the through draft. It's a disaster. Every other player
Speaker 1: we pick is also terrible. Um, but disaster. But that's
Speaker 1: not where I wanted to start today. I went into
Speaker 1: the Steelers. There's a lot to unpack there with the
Speaker 1: Steelers in chief scheme yesterday. Um, but I'm gonna glue.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna glue, all right. Hit me as I said,
Speaker 1: I wear my home league yesterday, crushing Carton's league, frustrating
Speaker 1: my in my other home league. You know what I
Speaker 1: did yesterday, Frank? What do I beat you? And I
Speaker 1: beat you? And I beat everybody but one person for
Speaker 1: now currently in our BEATBF fan duel, I am in
Speaker 1: second place with my defense still to come down three points.
Speaker 1: As they say, let's go, baby crushed it. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Greggy Man. Yeah, I saw that you were in
Speaker 1: the top three last night, and then I didn't check
Speaker 1: it until this morning again, so shout out to Gregg
Speaker 1: number two. I'm assuming you have the Bears defense, so
Speaker 1: you are in prime position to win forty bucks this week.
Speaker 1: It's pretty nuche. That's why you should come join and
Speaker 1: play with the BFF so you can lose and give
Speaker 1: your money to me. You got this tent out of
Speaker 1: twenty so what a top center, right? It was league
Speaker 1: I would have cashed. I felt awesome yesterday. So I
Speaker 1: felt awesome. I was climbing the leaderboard and I had
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley going. I was, this is great, life is great.
Speaker 1: Lots of weird performances overall yesterday. I don't, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I don't think there were a lot
Speaker 1: of weird performances yesterday. I thought Tonio Brown eleven point
Speaker 1: two points and fandals, So let's start that right, like
Speaker 1: that was a weird That was obviously a weird performance.
Speaker 1: But I thought, like everything we kind of predicted happened yesterday,
Speaker 1: like a lot of what we expected, the high scoring games,
Speaker 1: specifically between the Steelers and the Chiefs. It happened that
Speaker 1: was obvious over. She knew the Browns and Saints was
Speaker 1: a big letdown for me, and I was very excited
Speaker 1: about that game. I thought that was an easy over.
Speaker 1: I think we know now the Browns defense is legit.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Tyrod Taylor, Jarvis Landry, even
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees, like, those were all fantasy duds.
Speaker 1: Aside from Michael Thomas, He's the only one who really
Speaker 1: put up kind of what we expected out of him.
Speaker 1: Everyone else in that game was the fantasy dud. Greg Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that game was a fantasy dud. Um, this
Speaker 1: car is high. I got the end zone. UM. Falcons
Speaker 1: Panthers for a while was brutal. It was absolutely brutal.
Speaker 1: And then McCaffrey just started racking at receptions. Keevin Coleman
Speaker 1: was racking up yards on the ground and do anything
Speaker 1: the receiving game, Um not Ryan rushes for touchdowns was
Speaker 1: very frustrating. Um, We're getting all that in a moment.
Speaker 1: But if you want to start with the Steelers and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, a game where no one expected these guys
Speaker 1: to throw combined for double digit touchdowns. Roethlisprogram My Homes,
Speaker 1: but you knew it was going over. You knew there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of points scored in this game.
Speaker 1: But perhaps the biggest story outside of Mahomes and Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you in just a second. He's Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: who had eleven fan duel points yesterday, and with Big
Speaker 1: Bend throwing for four hundred and fifty yards, Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: had like seventy of them. When this team was scoring,
Speaker 1: when Juju was scoring, when Ben Roethlisberger was scoring, when
Speaker 1: James Connor was scoring. Maybe was not part of that celebration.
Speaker 1: He was not part of the relay with Juice Smith Schuster.
Speaker 1: He was not part of the huge group hug with
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Where would they be jogging off the sideline.
Speaker 1: There's rumor that he aggravated a calf injury. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be anything to that. He was seen screaming
Speaker 1: at the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh replaced the ben that
Speaker 1: replaced of course, Todd Haley, and then today he's out
Speaker 1: there tweeting trade man, what's going on with Antonio Brown? Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, unless there's some kind of injury here, I
Speaker 1: think you give credit to the Chiefs. Obviously, he was
Speaker 1: targeted seventeen times in this game, and for him to
Speaker 1: just have an average yards per catch of seven point
Speaker 1: four in this performance, I think that's a good job
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs. I mean, overall, I think Big Ben
Speaker 1: missed some throws in this game. Um, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like they've been on the same page overall. The
Speaker 1: good thing is the targets are still the I mean
Speaker 1: sixteen plus targets in each one of his first two games,
Speaker 1: sixteen in Week one seventeen yesterday, and he's had nine
Speaker 1: receptions in each of the first two games as well. Um,
Speaker 1: So I think based on the targets, things are going
Speaker 1: to get better for him if he gets in the
Speaker 1: end zone in this game. I don't think we're really
Speaker 1: freaking out all that much. I was actually Juju Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster who had the monster Monster day. And you know
Speaker 1: what's crazy, Greg. Before the season, what we spoke about
Speaker 1: is that the one thing that holds Juju Smith Schuster
Speaker 1: back from being an elite wide receiver this year is
Speaker 1: the fact that he gets to contend with Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: for targets on the team. But so far, I mean
Speaker 1: it's Juju Smith Schuster who really I mean the fact
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown had seventeen targets yesterday and Juju out
Speaker 1: targeted him nineteen targets in this game, thirteen receptions, a
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards in a touchdown. It seems
Speaker 1: like Juju and Big Ben are off to a better
Speaker 1: start and have more of a connection this year than
Speaker 1: Ben and Antonio Brown. And I wonder if this goes
Speaker 1: back to the fact that Brown didn't appear in the preseason.
Speaker 1: Although he is a veteran player, he is technically under
Speaker 1: a new offense and this is his preseason right now,
Speaker 1: so maybe you know there's like a clicking phase to
Speaker 1: start the year. I'm I'm really not that worried about
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Maybe before the year he was the consensus
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. Maybe now he's part of a
Speaker 1: group of like five, he's still like a top five
Speaker 1: wine now he's amazing. And it's funny because we said
Speaker 1: he had eleven Fantasy points um in Fandel hit like
Speaker 1: eight catches for seventy yards something like that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: seven nine or sixty seven. I was pretty close, So
Speaker 1: it's right. So it wasn't like he destroyed you by
Speaker 1: any means. But when you see Big Ben and the
Speaker 1: Steelers put this amount of points and this amount of
Speaker 1: yards and this many touchdowns, you expected that two hundred
Speaker 1: yards and it didn't happen. And a lot of that
Speaker 1: is juju emerging. A lot of that is clearly, um
Speaker 1: personality issues with Antonio Brown and the staff and certainly
Speaker 1: big Ben. Big Ben missed him wide open in the
Speaker 1: end zone. Antonio Brown temper tantrum after that. Um, if
Speaker 1: you picked Jujuice in the schuster, you feeling really really
Speaker 1: good You're picked Antonio Brown. Are you worried as an
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown owner in multiple multiple places for the first
Speaker 1: time in a very very long time, because they not
Speaker 1: really as you said, Maybe he's not one anymore and
Speaker 1: he's in the group with O'Dell and DeAndre Hopkins and
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. Maybe he's there as Michael Thomas is kind
Speaker 1: of emerging as the best wide receiver in football. Um,
Speaker 1: but I still feel like good of Anjonia Brown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you again. This is likely his
Speaker 1: preseason and look the Steelers defense. Joe Hayden didn't play yesterday,
Speaker 1: and obviously the injury to Ryan Shades here last year,
Speaker 1: he's I mean, we don't know if he's not gonna
Speaker 1: ever play ever again, so his defense is not what
Speaker 1: it was or yeah, they don't look good at all.
Speaker 1: So I think if you own Big Ban or any
Speaker 1: parts of the passing attack, even if you own James Conner,
Speaker 1: obviously you feel good like they're gonna be in a
Speaker 1: lot of shootouts this year. And I think the same
Speaker 1: thing could be said, um vice versa for Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. I completely agree. You look at Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes and there were a lot of question marks last
Speaker 1: week with if he was real right, like, oh, Mahomes,
Speaker 1: it was really just a shovel pass and Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: outran the defense and he didn't ever do anything. I
Speaker 1: was saying that today because yesterday he was able to
Speaker 1: throw it up Tyreek Hill. Yeah, I was able to
Speaker 1: dump it off to Korean Hunt. But there were lasers
Speaker 1: to Travis Kelsey over and over and over again. That
Speaker 1: wasn't wide open Kelsey, and all the Homes that to
Speaker 1: do was stick it there. That wasn't just people dumping
Speaker 1: and running. That was a picture perfect throw to Kelsey
Speaker 1: multiple times, a picture perfect throw to Sammy Watkins multiple times,
Speaker 1: picture perfect throw um to Chris Conley in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was awesome in every sense of the word.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not running as much as I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people believe, but he has a cannon and
Speaker 1: he's a laser amount of accuracy. What I like most
Speaker 1: about this, Greg, so far, is that he's gone on
Speaker 1: the road to a I'm not gonna say l as
Speaker 1: a hostile place, but Pittsburgh can certainly be a hostile place.
Speaker 1: He's gone on the road, he's thrown for ten touchdowns,
Speaker 1: zero interceptions, Greg, And that was what we were worried
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes coming into the year, the fact that
Speaker 1: he's a gun slinger. We saw in the preseason a
Speaker 1: few costly turnovers that you know, kind of looked like
Speaker 1: some rookie mistake. But so far, I mean I said
Speaker 1: this before the season as well, Greg, I just didn't
Speaker 1: see how he can fail this year. When you give
Speaker 1: a guy like this these types of weapons, when you
Speaker 1: have Tyreek Hill at your disposed, I mean Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: on a day where you thought he put up a dud, right,
Speaker 1: like he didn't have the monster game that he did.
Speaker 1: He still puts five for ninety and a touchdown. He
Speaker 1: was the third most targeted player on the team and
Speaker 1: still had a very very fine fantasy day, Like he
Speaker 1: just has so many weapons at a disposal. I think
Speaker 1: you saw a bounce back from Kareem Hunt. You feel
Speaker 1: very good about that. The fact that you know he
Speaker 1: had the receiving touchdown. You still want to see him
Speaker 1: targeted more in the receiving game. But Sammy Watkins bouncing
Speaker 1: back actually showing some sign of life because even going
Speaker 1: back to preseason he had shown nothing, no type of
Speaker 1: rapport whatsoever with Patrick Mahomes. Credit cutting you off for
Speaker 1: basically saying, we need to get the ball Watkins, and
Speaker 1: they did and it helped their offense even more because
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes store for four touchdowns last week, he comes
Speaker 1: back and throw six touchdowns this week. If you're a defense,
Speaker 1: right we used to talk about this with e Y,
Speaker 1: you think about stopping one part of the a game.
Speaker 1: If your game plan is to try and stop Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill or try and stop Travis Kelsey, that just means
Speaker 1: somebody else in this talented offense is going to have
Speaker 1: single coverage somewhere on the field. Whether it's Tyreek Hills,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Travis Kelsey, Kareem Hunt, somebody is going to
Speaker 1: be open. There are just too many weapons on this team.
Speaker 1: And that's why I said before the season, I just
Speaker 1: don't see how Patrick Mahomes can fail based on the
Speaker 1: talent that he surrounded with here. You want to talk
Speaker 1: about an overreaction, Greg, If we were drafting today, how
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks do you draft ahead of Patrick Hoomes? A
Speaker 1: great question. It's a very very good question because can
Speaker 1: you say Aaron Rodgers given the injuries right the injuries
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with. Can you deal with Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: knowing that the ball is out for a significant period
Speaker 1: of time? Given their offensive line problems? You say DeShawn
Speaker 1: Watson given their offensive extremely rusty too, and he looks
Speaker 1: very very rusty. Can you will you say Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees? Zero zero? As christmaer Von's answer for you,
Speaker 1: zero zero is a really good question, Frank, He's the
Speaker 1: top five quarterback already right now, it might be top three.
Speaker 1: I'm still driving Tom Brady in front him, say, I'll
Speaker 1: say that safer floor. Obviously, we've seen him do it
Speaker 1: for so long. How many people have more? I think
Speaker 1: they'd still draft Drew Brees in front of him, do
Speaker 1: you recently good? That's the thing. It's like out of
Speaker 1: the elite quarterbacks, a lot of them. We've seen one
Speaker 1: good game in one bad game went for Tom Brady
Speaker 1: obviously faced Jacksonvilius. Would you rather Aaron Rodgers or would
Speaker 1: you rather Patrick Molomes? Still take Rogers, but I understand
Speaker 1: the hesitancy given the injuries. So would you have Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson or Patrick Mahomes still one game? I still take Russell.
Speaker 1: I think he's right there. It was probably gonna be
Speaker 1: five for you. Yeah, and I had him rang. Would
Speaker 1: you Mahomes a Roethlisberger? Mahomes? Yeah, but in here close.
Speaker 1: I had both of those guys inside my top ten
Speaker 1: before the during draft season. Ye. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Mahomes about number five for both of us, you know,
Speaker 1: and after he throws four times touchdowns next week and
Speaker 1: maybe he's number one throw sparters. Yeah, he's going up
Speaker 1: against San Francisco. I saw something that said the preliminary
Speaker 1: over under for that game is fifty five San Francisco
Speaker 1: against Ka City. That's gonna be fun. They're all and
Speaker 1: that's the first home game in Arrowheads. Let's go. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be wild break. When do we come back at
Speaker 1: the Fantasy best Friends Forever? Let's talk Philly and Tampa
Speaker 1: because the Eagles well have a new quarterback next week
Speaker 1: after Ryan Fitzpatrick moves to two and l against that
Speaker 1: stick around more to snap. Daily Rhodo dot Com learned

Speaker 1: Frank I wanted to mention the Eagles and the Bucks.
Speaker 1: A lot of people took the Eagles in Survivor yesterday
Speaker 1: going down to Tampa defending champs. You said, are they
Speaker 1: not being shown any respect? The question is Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: being shown enough respect? He goes to two and ou
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson first play the game, revenge game, long touchdown
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. Bucks never trailed. Bucks look good again.
Speaker 1: We should have seen that one coming to right the
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson did you did you start to Sean Jackson anywhere? No,
Speaker 1: I mean I saw the Bucks cut the Bucks part coming, oh,
Speaker 1: just the trap game, but DeShawn Jackson going up against
Speaker 1: the uh, the Eagles in the revenge game as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: I mean the first play, it was just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Four receptions and nine yards and a touchdown for DeShawn Jackson.
Speaker 1: And I said this to Jim Day last Monday when
Speaker 1: you were out Greg, I said, we've seen glimpses of
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick being fantasy viable. I mean back in when
Speaker 1: he was with the Jets, he had Brandon Marshall, he
Speaker 1: had Eric Decker, he had phenomenal weapons. And he showed
Speaker 1: you right now, right Fitzpatrick and the Bucks are playing
Speaker 1: with house money. They're just going out, they're having fun. Uh,
Speaker 1: They're playing like they have nothing to lose. And that
Speaker 1: is a dangerous, dangerous team. And that makes Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: extremely fantasy viable right now. He just doesn't care. And
Speaker 1: the fact that he has all these weapons at his disposal.
Speaker 1: You've seen it. He can throw to anybody in this
Speaker 1: offense and they can make a big play, whether it's
Speaker 1: Shawan Jackson down the field last week, it was Mike
Speaker 1: Evans over Marshawn Lattimore, and Mike Evans also scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown inside the red zone this week on a sick
Speaker 1: quick slant play where he basically shook Mills out of
Speaker 1: his boots. They have Chris Godwin who they can use
Speaker 1: at their disposal, and then on top of all that,
Speaker 1: they have O. J. Hatward, a tight end who could
Speaker 1: score seventy five yard touchdowns. Greg Right now, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: has Wally Pip, Jamis Winston. I don't see a chance
Speaker 1: that Jamis Winston gets his job back, at least not
Speaker 1: right away unless Fitzpatrick absolutely bombs the next two games.
Speaker 1: But based on this start, he looks like he is
Speaker 1: at least a high end QB two. He's a boatline
Speaker 1: quarterback one right now, well technically, right now he is
Speaker 1: the quarterback one. I mean factually the objectively, yes, but
Speaker 1: not just what he's done over the first two games.
Speaker 1: Talking about projecting forward, we've seen seasons where he finishes
Speaker 1: as a quarterback one greg he finishes the QB eleven overall,
Speaker 1: he took for thirty one touchdowns. That's a Jets franchise record.
Speaker 1: He's proven that he can be fantasy viable when he
Speaker 1: has weapons around him, and that's exactly what he has
Speaker 1: right now. It's interesting, clearly built well for him. He
Speaker 1: has to Sean Jackson and he asked Govin to be
Speaker 1: a DV. He's got Mike Evans do a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. This is why how it's been fantastic. This
Speaker 1: is why we love James Wins last year though, this
Speaker 1: is what we thought his upside can be and it
Speaker 1: hasn't come to fruition. And Ryan Fitzpatrick is making the
Speaker 1: most of his opportunity right now. If you picked him
Speaker 1: up in a super FLIGHTIX league, you feel phenomenal, Yeah
Speaker 1: you do. You feel absolutely awesome right now. But you
Speaker 1: have to ask this. The running game has been non existent.
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber has not been good. Quiz Rodgers has not
Speaker 1: been good. Ronald Jones I think he was inactive yesterday.
Speaker 1: He would you buy Lord Ronald Jones right now? Snash
Speaker 1: him on the badge because Peytonbarber even have to buy low.
Speaker 1: He's been dropped in a lot of leagues. Depends who
Speaker 1: you drop, Like there are a lot of stash double
Speaker 1: running backs right now, like Rashad Penny's a stassable running
Speaker 1: I'll take Penny because at least he's playing right. I
Speaker 1: agree with that. But like for me, Um, I like Corton,
Speaker 1: Scotland Sutton on the bench, James Washington on the bench.
Speaker 1: I want to drop those guys. Dake a shot to me,
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones only because Payton Barber, your Cruiz Rogers looks terrible.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get this run game going sooner
Speaker 1: or later. And I think that's going to be Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones just saying. It's not a bad idea. I think
Speaker 1: based on the guys that you mentioned, Like if you
Speaker 1: have players on your bench who are absolutely doing nothing
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, so is Ronald Jones. But Greg's right,
Speaker 1: like Peyton Barber has not sees this opportunity to Quiz Rodgers.
Speaker 1: We know what he is. He's a journeyman who can
Speaker 1: fill in if there's injuries for the Tampa Bay Bucks,
Speaker 1: but he's still not great overall for an NFL perspective.
Speaker 1: They used a very high draft pick on Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: He looks absolutely lost in the preseason, but they do
Speaker 1: need to get something going, and it will be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what happens when if a team just says
Speaker 1: we're gonna allow you to beat us on the ground
Speaker 1: with the running game and really just drop everybody back
Speaker 1: into coverage and start double teaming and triple teaming players.
Speaker 1: What happens in those games, says Ryan Fitzpatrick, crumble, Does
Speaker 1: you start to turn the ball over a ton like
Speaker 1: we've seen him do in the past, And are they
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of that? Is the running game
Speaker 1: able to take advantage Once teams say okay, well we're
Speaker 1: not gonna let you beat us through the air anymore,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, you have to beat us on the ground,
Speaker 1: what happens then exactly it's going, It's going, It's going
Speaker 1: to happen. NFL teams are smart enough to say, okay,
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, the guy has thrown eight touchdowns, he's added
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown on the ground in week one. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna let this guy beat us, beat us through
Speaker 1: the air. And if I'm not if I'm not mistaken, Greg,
Speaker 1: I believe it's Tampa Bay versus Pittsburgh next week, which
Speaker 1: is going to be an absolute shootout as it will.
Speaker 1: The Steelers defense is not good right now, but that's
Speaker 1: a must win game for Pittsburgh in that game on
Speaker 1: the other side, for the Bucks to philad up. The
Speaker 1: Eagles fell. JGI let this game for most of the
Speaker 1: for really the entirety of the first half. Came back
Speaker 1: after halftime with healthy. He had a back injury. There
Speaker 1: was no Darren Sprowls. Yes your day, um and j
Speaker 1: j I out for a while, came back and many
Speaker 1: fantasy owners were thrilled. Now wide receiver wise, they don't
Speaker 1: have much left. Alshan Jeffreies hurt, Mike Wallace broke his leg,
Speaker 1: Mac Hollins on the I r their offensive weapons right now,
Speaker 1: or Zach Ertz and Nelson aghalor and that's it. The
Speaker 1: quarterback throwing on the ball that's going to change. Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz has been cleared and will start, according to Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson this week Week three for the Eagles, he has
Speaker 1: been cleared. He is ready to rock. They faced the
Speaker 1: Colts this week, and you're a Carson Wentz owner, you
Speaker 1: throw him out there, I would ideally you'd want to
Speaker 1: you'd want to take a like wait and see if
Speaker 1: you have a better option, like if you drafted a
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes later on, or Jimmy Garoppolo or someone like that.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Carson Wentz will be right outside
Speaker 1: my top twelve next week. Uh if you have Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's is crazy to say, but going up against the
Speaker 1: Steelers have to start. I'm gonna Fitzpatricks over a guy
Speaker 1: like Carson Wentz as well. So I want to take
Speaker 1: take away and see it depends on who you have.
Speaker 1: If you're playing in super Flex and you've been stashing
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, you probably have no choice but to use
Speaker 1: him as for the weapons in this passing attack. They've
Speaker 1: just announced that Alston Jeffrey is going to try and
Speaker 1: practice this week. He's still week to week. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he'll be back uh in week three against
Speaker 1: the Colt but if not, I mean it's just more
Speaker 1: of the same for zach Ertz and Nelson Aglar. They're
Speaker 1: going to be the most targeted options in this passing attack.
Speaker 1: And Nelson Aghilar, look, we wrote this guy off after
Speaker 1: his first year. We we he was basically left for dead.
Speaker 1: Um he's a legitimate NFL wide receiver. He showed that
Speaker 1: yesterday multiple times. On the touchdown. That was a phenomenal
Speaker 1: play on his part. And in Zach Ertz, a guy
Speaker 1: who nearly scored a touchdown as well, still had eleven
Speaker 1: receptions for ninety four yards. So it's just more of
Speaker 1: the same for the guys in that passing attack. UM.
Speaker 1: I think it was hard to get the run game
Speaker 1: going because they were trailing early in this game. Jagi
Speaker 1: saved his day by scoring a touchdown. But again, it's
Speaker 1: more of the same moving forward. Look look at the
Speaker 1: run the carry distribution in his game. J j I
Speaker 1: e seven carriers. Again, he missed a lot of it.
Speaker 1: When thee Smallwood seven carries, Corey Clement six carries na
Speaker 1: Corey Clement also six targets. UM, and a Giant and
Speaker 1: small Wood had a target each. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: more of the same from Doug Peterson, UH and the
Speaker 1: Eagles running backs. You just you have to hope a
Speaker 1: Giant is healthy and if he is, if this back
Speaker 1: injury isn't a you know, a big scare and he's
Speaker 1: a boom or bust low and RB two, I think
Speaker 1: that's kind of where he's gonna be every week. I
Speaker 1: I completely agree, completely, completely agree with that. Nelson, as
Speaker 1: you said, looks really like a and I Fell receiver.
Speaker 1: I know, I know it was a lot of underneath stuff.
Speaker 1: Two weeks or last week, I should said he was
Speaker 1: all of the field. Yesterday he was awesome. He was
Speaker 1: actually awesome. Yeah, eight for eighty eight, so about eleven
Speaker 1: yards per catch, which is fine, but just he's really
Speaker 1: fine tuned himself as a wide receiver in terms of
Speaker 1: route running, his hands, especially what he did in the
Speaker 1: red zone on that touchdown too. So I was incredibly
Speaker 1: impressed by Nelson Aghlor yesterday. I will go as far
Speaker 1: as to say, once Alshon Jeffrey returns, Nelson Aglar is
Speaker 1: still the top wide receiver in this offense. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. He's just much more spry, He's quicker out
Speaker 1: of his brakes. Alshon Jeffrey is coming off a shoulder injury,
Speaker 1: so I don't know, you know, how many snaps are
Speaker 1: you gonna play right out of the gate? Um are
Speaker 1: they gonna trust him on deep throws down the field?
Speaker 1: He just didn't look like the same wide receiver last year. Overall,
Speaker 1: I know he had a big Super Bowl, but I
Speaker 1: think Nelson Agular is kind of taking over as this
Speaker 1: team's top wide receiver now. Franklin moved on to Cleveland
Speaker 1: and move on to Fill and move on to the Saints.
Speaker 1: And the reason I got that confused was because Vegas
Speaker 1: currently has the leader in the clubhouse to get Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon into that a moment. Philly interesting fit. You know
Speaker 1: how her Roseman loves the trade. Philly desperately needed wide
Speaker 1: receivers right now, we'll see. Josh Gordon was announced that
Speaker 1: he will no longer be part of the Browns on Saturday.
Speaker 1: They said they're gonna release him. Obviously they're going to
Speaker 1: trade him because there is value there. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of smoke here, a lot of clouds, and I don't
Speaker 1: exactly know the answer. I do not put it no,
Speaker 1: but intended to be honest with you. He is still
Speaker 1: good standing in the league. He has not failed a
Speaker 1: drug test. The rumor was that he heard his hamstring
Speaker 1: again at a photo shoot of some sort. Now I
Speaker 1: don't know if what kind of photo shoot where he
Speaker 1: was like sprinting and hurting his hamstring, but something on
Speaker 1: a Friday after practice where he heard his hamstring, and
Speaker 1: because of that, it sounds like he was late to
Speaker 1: the walkthrough on Saturday because because he's probably embarrassed to
Speaker 1: show everybody that he heard his hamstring. And that was
Speaker 1: the last straw for Cleveland. So they cut Josh Gordon,
Speaker 1: start Antonio Callaway on Sunday afternoon and then go on
Speaker 1: to lose the Saints and again they should have won
Speaker 1: multiple times. This is what we call the same old Browns.
Speaker 1: What's going on with the Rounds and Josh Gordon? What
Speaker 1: do you do here? Fantasyland? What are you thinking? Well,
Speaker 1: I own Josh Gordon in multiple leagues. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: drop him yet. I'm just gonna sit tight. And I know, um,
Speaker 1: you know some people already asked about dropping him. I
Speaker 1: can't do that. I mean, we still know what the
Speaker 1: talent is with Josh Gordon. He's gonna land somewhere. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting because obviously has to learn a playbook.
Speaker 1: But he's still a guy where like if you just
Speaker 1: say run down the field, we're gonna through the ball,
Speaker 1: Like he can make that happen. So if you pair
Speaker 1: him with Carson Wentz, I think that's interesting. But once
Speaker 1: you get Jeffrey healthy and Josh Gordon if he ends
Speaker 1: up there, and Nelson Aghler, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of amounts of feeds, So that'll be interesting. Again, we're
Speaker 1: just speculating. We've seen the Eagles linked to them, the
Speaker 1: forty Niners linked. Uh. Some people have thrown out the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, but apparently they've turned that down. And then
Speaker 1: even Seattle, I think makes a lot of sense. Cleveland's
Speaker 1: already said they would rather trade him to the NFC.
Speaker 1: So I think those are kind of your three or
Speaker 1: four leading candidates for him. I'm not dropping Josh Gordon
Speaker 1: as for Cleveland. Look, Ze Gonzalez had multiple opportunities last week,
Speaker 1: he had opportunities this week. I don't think it will
Speaker 1: be surprising if he's cut from the team, if they
Speaker 1: go out and get a Dan Bailey or a Kai
Speaker 1: for Bath or another veteran kicker out there. Blair Walsh,
Speaker 1: Kiro Santos already in the building today. Okay, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. Not surprised by that.
Speaker 1: Um So you gotta field just for Browns fans overall,
Speaker 1: that was a crazy game, um Antonio callaway. I think
Speaker 1: it's the biggest beneficiary of Josh Gordon being cut. We
Speaker 1: saw him scored the long touchdown forty seven yard or um,
Speaker 1: but he was still only targeted four times. In this offense,
Speaker 1: Jervis Landry had seven targets, Richard Higgins had seven targets,
Speaker 1: and David and Joeku had seven targets as well. So
Speaker 1: I was expecting Landry to have a big game in
Speaker 1: this one one. Uh, that didn't obviously happen, but I
Speaker 1: would expect him to be the leading receiver moving forward.
Speaker 1: And if you looked at his route tree how he
Speaker 1: was used in Week one, I haven't looked at his
Speaker 1: route tree yet in this one. In Week one, Todd
Speaker 1: Haley basically lined up um Jarvis Landry like Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: from his past days with the Steelers. So Jarvis Landry
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be that all around go to guy.
Speaker 1: I think David and Jocu seas an uptick as well
Speaker 1: in this offense. But it's basically Landry and Joku Carlos
Speaker 1: Hyde are the most fantasy relevant And then if you
Speaker 1: want to take a stab on Antonio callaway off the
Speaker 1: waiver wire this week, I I think that makes sense
Speaker 1: as well, um, I have people asking me, do you
Speaker 1: think they're getting a little bit tired of Tyrod Taylor? Here?
Speaker 1: Do they do they start to think about I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't either. He could be two at all. I
Speaker 1: look at the Tyrod Taylor. Yeah, if the kicker does
Speaker 1: his job, then yeah they're two. No, I think, but
Speaker 1: you can easily say he didn't play a good game
Speaker 1: in week one. It might have been weather related. Thirty
Speaker 1: and this one, Okay, that's fine. One touchdown and in
Speaker 1: twenty six yards watching I think overall we all expected
Speaker 1: more from Tyrod Taylor and the Cleveland Brown's wink too.
Speaker 1: I agree. But the defense is legit. Though they're good,
Speaker 1: defense is absolutely there are there who this week? Yes,
Speaker 1: Thursday nights, I would thake the Browns. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: a top twelve defense from I would pick them up.
Speaker 1: Very interesting Thursday night in Cleveland. It's in Cleveland home
Speaker 1: team in a Thursday night, but the Bengals last their
Speaker 1: home opener. I'm interested. I'm interested in the dog bound
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm let me look at that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure the people who schedule this were hoping that
Speaker 1: it would be Sam Donald and Baker Mayfield at this
Speaker 1: point of course, Look, Sam Donald has shown he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna be turnover prone. Actually that's not true. But
Speaker 1: because they weren't on the team yet, schedule comes out
Speaker 1: before the NFL Draft, all right, Well, they knew they
Speaker 1: had top three picks each, so yes, they probably foresaw
Speaker 1: or hoped something. Yes, they did. For the New Orleans Saints,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is otherworldly. He's absolutely incredible number one wide receiver.
Speaker 1: After the first two weeks of the season, he's been spectacular.
Speaker 1: Alma Camara um was good, not as good as people
Speaker 1: thought he would be yesterday, but absolutely dominating carries. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting when mark Ingram comes back to
Speaker 1: figure out his role in this offense. Frankie, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: was just an interesting game overall. If you look at
Speaker 1: the run distribution. Alvin Kamara had thirteen carries, only ran
Speaker 1: for forty six yards, so less than four yards per carry.
Speaker 1: He hasn't really been great in terms of rushing the
Speaker 1: ball so far this year, but still so versatile in
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, what he can do as a
Speaker 1: receiver out of the backfield. Six targets caught, all six
Speaker 1: for fifty three yards. I think once mark Ingram returns,
Speaker 1: I don't know that Ingram gets the same type of
Speaker 1: workload that he had last year, but I think we
Speaker 1: will see very very similar split that we did last season.
Speaker 1: I think Alvin Kamara sees a slight uptick to what
Speaker 1: he was doing last year. Maybe he's in that you know,
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen Carrie range and like four or five six
Speaker 1: receptions per game, so he's gonna be in like eighteen
Speaker 1: to twenty touches. And I think mark Ingram once he
Speaker 1: gets back, I think they'll get back to running more
Speaker 1: efficiently overall as well. And I can see him in
Speaker 1: that kind of like fifteen sixteen seventeen touch range. UM,
Speaker 1: so I think will be close to split with maybe
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara slightly over. But yeah, Michael Thomas again, he's
Speaker 1: you know, top five, maybe top three wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the game. UM. And even in a day where Drew
Speaker 1: Brees wasn't great, so through for two touchdowns, no interceptions.
Speaker 1: So shout out to the Browns defense again, I think
Speaker 1: they proved that they're legit shutting this. Uh. The Saints
Speaker 1: offense down to only twenty one point. Yeah to me,
Speaker 1: It's more what the Browns defense did than inefficiency by
Speaker 1: the Saints offense. Drew Brees, it looks fine. I'm very
Speaker 1: much in and Drew Brees here um and the Saints,
Speaker 1: who improved to one and one. Last week, the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns tied the Steelers. This week another tie. The Packers
Speaker 1: and Vikings tied after the Vikings had their own kicker
Speaker 1: problems with their fifth round draft pick who could not
Speaker 1: convert on multiple occasions. Aaron Rodgers listen, he looked happard
Speaker 1: in every way. Scrambles where he normally run for ten
Speaker 1: fifty yards, he couldn't move, you know, he simply could not.
Speaker 1: But if you started to bos the Adams, who have
Speaker 1: addled his own injury issues, last week, he felt great.
Speaker 1: Let Taven Targets had a typical Demanda Adams touchdown where
Speaker 1: he made somebody miss and got in the end zone.
Speaker 1: He looked fantastic. Jimmy Graham was very much involved. John
Speaker 1: will also got involved in the second quarter in the
Speaker 1: second half rather um so. Even Jamal Williams, who I
Speaker 1: was forced to start yesterday. He was a lead back.
Speaker 1: He got a ball a lot and maybe with his
Speaker 1: Rodgers injuries he will continue to We'll see Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: coming back this week. So a lot to take away
Speaker 1: from the Packer's side of this game. Frankie, Yeah, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers was definitely hampered. I lowered him in my rankings.
Speaker 1: He was closer to ten than he was to one,
Speaker 1: which is not the normal case for Rodgers, But based
Speaker 1: on the injury and the matchup two against Minnesota, I
Speaker 1: think that made a lot of sense. I'm very encouraged
Speaker 1: by Jimmy Graham getting more involved in this game. Remember
Speaker 1: he should have also had a touchdown in this game
Speaker 1: that got taken off the board because of a holding penalty.
Speaker 1: But he was the second most targeted receiving option for
Speaker 1: the Packers in this game, eight targets, six receptions yards.
Speaker 1: So you feel great about that, uh in a matchup
Speaker 1: against the Vikings, which we thought would be pretty tough. Um.
Speaker 1: I think this is more of the target breakdown that
Speaker 1: will be used to moving forward. I think obviously it's
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham, and then Allison and Cobb had
Speaker 1: six targets each in this game. Maybe it's more so
Speaker 1: like Adams ten on a weekly basis, and then Alison
Speaker 1: cobbed like seven range. But I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be clearly Adams and Graham and then those other guys
Speaker 1: kind of battling for the third receiver spot. Jamal Williams,
Speaker 1: you mentioned he had sixteen carries. He also had three receptions,
Speaker 1: so nineteen touches. But again, just very inefficient. At what
Speaker 1: point do we say with Jamal Williams all right? Last
Speaker 1: year it wasn't just the fact that he didn't play
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. He's just not really a very efficient
Speaker 1: running back. He's kind of like a plotter. I think
Speaker 1: there's a chance Aaron Jones has an opportunity here to
Speaker 1: come in and steal the shop. We're to take a break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, let's get see the other side,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, and we're gonna be joined
Speaker 1: by a guest. Dk MS representative Kevin Oldenberg is here

Speaker 1: Network Frank Stample Gregg sat with you your BFFs right
Speaker 1: now joining us in studio. I want to talk a
Speaker 1: little d k MS. It's Kevin Oldenberg. Kevin good, thank
Speaker 1: you for coming in. Hen absolutely big Giants fan across
Speaker 1: from me at the table and all. So um, this
Speaker 1: doesn't work with with d KMS, which of course we
Speaker 1: would love to hear about. And that's where I want
Speaker 1: to start. I want to hear your story. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess it started with a trip to the county fair
Speaker 1: and walking by a tent and they asked if I
Speaker 1: wanted to get swabbed. It was a little boy named
Speaker 1: Kai that had leukemia and they needed to try to
Speaker 1: find a marrow match for him. And then I forgot
Speaker 1: about it, and about two years later I got a
Speaker 1: call on a FedEx package and an email within a
Speaker 1: pretty quick time, and they said it was a match
Speaker 1: to a patient, and so they started the process confirmatory typing,
Speaker 1: blood work and such, but they chose to go with
Speaker 1: a different donor. About a year later, I get another
Speaker 1: phone call that the doctor is ready for me to
Speaker 1: go and donate. Two trips down to Washington d C.
Speaker 1: One was to do a big, big physical workup, blood
Speaker 1: work and just make sure I was physically fit to
Speaker 1: do the donation, and then I had to give uh
Speaker 1: trying to blood which would then be brought down to
Speaker 1: d C for UM put put back in me after
Speaker 1: the marrow was taken out. And then another trip down
Speaker 1: to d C in the end of January of that
Speaker 1: following year, and off we went. How long ago is
Speaker 1: that five years? Have you met the person you donated?
Speaker 1: Since I did, They surprised me with a meat on
Speaker 1: the View last June in front of studio on it's
Speaker 1: and millions of folks on watching on air. You can
Speaker 1: actually check that out. It's on YouTube. UM Kevin's whole
Speaker 1: experience on the View, UM meeting the person that that
Speaker 1: he don't into UM. Just talking to you and hearing
Speaker 1: that story, Yeah, I get, I get the chills. I
Speaker 1: think it's a possible not to you see Frank's Harris
Speaker 1: going up to um, what did it mean to you?
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think about it until after that
Speaker 1: call comes, and then once the call comes, it's all
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. You know. That's why they do the
Speaker 1: physical work up on you, because you're going to go
Speaker 1: through it. Um, They're going to be your advocate to
Speaker 1: make sure you're able to because once you have that
Speaker 1: ability to save a life, you just do it. And
Speaker 1: that's and that's the thing, right, Like it's real when
Speaker 1: you talk about this and you read a promo or
Speaker 1: you visit a website, or you watch a YouTube video
Speaker 1: or you go to Google. But that's real. It's it's literally,
Speaker 1: come to the hospital, do all this blood, word, go
Speaker 1: down to d C twice, and it's really because you're
Speaker 1: actually saving someone's life. It's not for dramatic purposes, it's
Speaker 1: not for who. It's real, real life. It isn't a
Speaker 1: movie or a story. It's I I just it's just
Speaker 1: wild to me how real it is. Frankie. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: not only that, like you got to meet the person
Speaker 1: who obviously you help save your life. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: had tons of the v k MS representatives, people who
Speaker 1: have come in and and have also donated. They've come
Speaker 1: in and shared their story as well. And every time
Speaker 1: that we hear your story, like Craig said, I mean,
Speaker 1: your hair stands up a little bit. You hear how
Speaker 1: um emotional. You just hear the emotion in your voice,
Speaker 1: like when you're talking about the fact that you can
Speaker 1: actually go out there and save someone's life. It truly
Speaker 1: is awesome to know that, you know, you along with
Speaker 1: so many, so many other people who have been able
Speaker 1: to do this. It's great. It's great. Greig, Kevin Older,
Speaker 1: Kevin Oldenberg. He is of course a d KMS UM donor.
Speaker 1: He was able to donate his boll marrow save someone's life.
Speaker 1: And we do that. We mean that for real, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Over to Daily Rohodo dot com slash DKMS
Speaker 1: and you can see how you could be the next
Speaker 1: person to actually save someone's life. It's all over at
Speaker 1: Daily Rhodo dot com slash DKMS. We work with DKMS
Speaker 1: for over a year now. We've done fantastic promotions with them. Um.
Speaker 1: And it's all in an effort to help save lives.
Speaker 1: And we mean that, um in every sense of the word. Kevin,
Speaker 1: we're you said you're a big Giant fan. What did
Speaker 1: you think of last night? Uh? You say nothing because
Speaker 1: it was terrible? It was terrible. Yeah, it absolutely was Greggy.
Speaker 1: UM and look, you guys know I'm not a Giants fan,
Speaker 1: but uh, in an attempt to pull off the impossible
Speaker 1: this weekend, Greg I did something bizarro, something that a
Speaker 1: Jets fan should never do. I bet on both the
Speaker 1: Giants and the Patriots. Heaven, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: I caused this, Greg called let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: I shifted the universe. Sir. You're you're a Giants fan, right,
Speaker 1: do you? How? What are your feelings on the Jets?
Speaker 1: A honesty? Well, it's the Giants fan. You really can
Speaker 1: root for the Jets, can you. I don't care about
Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't like most Jet fans. I like
Speaker 1: Frankie's my best friend, but I don't care about the Jets.
Speaker 1: They don't mean anything to me. But for frank to
Speaker 1: text me last night and be like, because me, how
Speaker 1: could I have been on the Pats and the Giant time.
Speaker 1: What a bad Jet fan? That makes me. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: I get a bad jet. That's why you were implying,
Speaker 1: no saying I shifted the universe. I gave them bad
Speaker 1: juju because I'm a Jet It's fan who should not be.
Speaker 1: But the jetting on in our crosstown right the Giants
Speaker 1: and the Mets. What do I care about the Mets?
Speaker 1: For Yankees and the Mets right there? I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't care about the Mets. I've been on the Mats. Great.
Speaker 1: You probably did when they made it to the World Series?
Speaker 1: Did you want them to win the World Series? They
Speaker 1: didn't care. Bathroom for one team. It wasn't really good exactly.
Speaker 1: I didn't really care that much. I cause this, Greig, See,
Speaker 1: you're selfish. I'll never do it again. Kevin Oldenberg is here.
Speaker 1: Donated Boone and Marrow in the past, saved someone's life.
Speaker 1: Do you play fantasy football? How's your team doing? Well?
Speaker 1: We're one and one now I lost this week? Who
Speaker 1: lets you down this week? Uh? Well, I just picked
Speaker 1: up two y Yeldon and h Sure you didn't do
Speaker 1: so well yesterday for me? Well, let's get into t
Speaker 1: j Yelden here for a moment with the Jacks, who
Speaker 1: defeated the Patriots yesterday pretty pretty easily in all honestly,
Speaker 1: they they were aggressive in fourth quarter, they stuck the
Speaker 1: foot on the pedal. They were amazing in the first
Speaker 1: half as well. Frankie, I asked you multiple times last
Speaker 1: week about t J Yelden and he was the number
Speaker 1: one free agency pick up we'll get in the waivers. Obviously,
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's show, Um, everybody picked up t J Yelden
Speaker 1: and expected big things. And I kept putting Corey Grant
Speaker 1: to you and being like, Hey, do we have to
Speaker 1: worry about this? You know, he's kind of coach speak
Speaker 1: like he'll be involved, but I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 1: You expect t J Yelden to get Leonard four nets workload.
Speaker 1: For the most part, didn't happen that way. Corey Grant
Speaker 1: was very much involved. He was used all over the field.
Speaker 1: It was a Blake Bortles game, for sure. How surprised
Speaker 1: were you by this with what the Jaguars did yesterday?
Speaker 1: Obviously been on the Patriots, as I was more so
Speaker 1: surprised by the offensive game plan of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: Say what you want about yelled in ten carries for
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards. I mean he did his job five
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry on a per carry basis,
Speaker 1: he was fine, but he just didn't get a lot
Speaker 1: of work in this game. We would have expected him
Speaker 1: to get even more than that. Cory Grant had four carries,
Speaker 1: but where he actually made his presence felt was in
Speaker 1: the passing game. Seven targets, six receptions, fifty six yards.
Speaker 1: Normally that's t J. Yelden, But they came out last
Speaker 1: week and they said Corey Grant would be more involved,
Speaker 1: and so you know, shout out to them. They actually
Speaker 1: did what they told us that they were going to do.
Speaker 1: But you saw very early in this game and throughout
Speaker 1: in a game where they were leading, you would have
Speaker 1: expected maybe they milked the clock a little bit with
Speaker 1: t J. Yeldon. The broadcast made this clear to everybody
Speaker 1: that after losing to the Patriots in the a f
Speaker 1: C Championship, that the Jaguars were going to be more
Speaker 1: aggressive today, and that's exactly what they did. They let
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles throw the ball forty five times in a
Speaker 1: game that he didn't have to throw the ball forty
Speaker 1: five times. But that's because the obvious weakness of the
Speaker 1: Patriots defense, and I don't think they're really good anywhere,
Speaker 1: but the secondary was brutal and you've seen that wherever
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe lined up yesterday, they were just targeting him NonStop.
Speaker 1: Keeling Cole looked amazing. D D Westbrook had that late
Speaker 1: sixty one yard touchdown in this game, Dante Moncrieve scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown, as sin Severian Jenkins scored a touchdown. They
Speaker 1: made a point of emphasis to be aggressive and put
Speaker 1: the ball in Blake Bortle's hands, and Blake Portles showed
Speaker 1: that you can still Bordle for fantasy purposes right. Three
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards and four touchdowns. He was absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 1: I think I thought it was a good job by
Speaker 1: the play calling overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. And I
Speaker 1: don't know that we've we could have honestly predicted that,
Speaker 1: Greig No, I don't think we could have either. And
Speaker 1: killing Cole was amazing yesterday, one handed grab. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw it, dude, watched absolutely it was.
Speaker 1: It was incredible. Unfortunately for you, it wasn't. T J.
Speaker 1: Yeldon but Keiling Cole was awesome yesterday, and they read
Speaker 1: an interview with that Faniel Hockey, the offensive coordinator for Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: who said after the lost in the Divisional player in
Speaker 1: the ANC championship game last year, they wanted to be
Speaker 1: more aggressive. They didn't want to be on their heels
Speaker 1: aggressive as they were in the first half in the
Speaker 1: playoffs last year. They would keep it going in third
Speaker 1: and in the third and fourth quarter, and they opened
Speaker 1: up the offense. Man, it was like second and thirteen
Speaker 1: or so. Um, it was four minutes ago, and instead
Speaker 1: of just handing the ball off the t J. Yelton
Speaker 1: a couple of times make Patriots burn their time out,
Speaker 1: they threw it up to Niles Paul who came down
Speaker 1: with it for a first down and that was it.
Speaker 1: Game over. So Jacksonville was aggressive and was awesome. On
Speaker 1: the other side, the New England Patriots Chris Hogan scored
Speaker 1: twice as predicted by US trap game saw that coming.
Speaker 1: Gronk was not so good. Jayalen Ramsey and go shut
Speaker 1: him down. And the Patriots are now two games away
Speaker 1: from getting Julian Edelman back. What do you think the
Speaker 1: Patriots office yesterday? What can we learn. I know they
Speaker 1: faced Jacksonville. What can we learn, Frankie, We learned that
Speaker 1: the page the running back situation is still going to
Speaker 1: be a headache regardless. There's three guys, and honestly, the
Speaker 1: one that you trust most right now is James White
Speaker 1: because he has the safest floor. Every single week, you
Speaker 1: know he's going to be involved. In the past game,
Speaker 1: you know that he's gonna be targeted. He led the
Speaker 1: team in targets with eight, led the team in all
Speaker 1: receiving categories seven or receptions seventy three yards, and we
Speaker 1: thought that could have been the case. Sony Michelle didn't
Speaker 1: look terrible, but ten carries for thirty four yards, Rex
Speaker 1: Burkhead six carries for twenty two yards. Neither was great,
Speaker 1: But you know, they were trailing for a lot of
Speaker 1: this game. They got out the Jaguars got off to
Speaker 1: an early lead and that didn't really allow them to
Speaker 1: run the ball. I think, based on the usage that
Speaker 1: we just saw yesterday, that it's gonna be more so
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle on early downs and the James White is
Speaker 1: gonna have his role and then I guess, you know
Speaker 1: the change of base there. Dion Lewis per Se from
Speaker 1: last year is is gonna be Rex Burkett. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to figure out every week. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm ranking them week in and week
Speaker 1: out in PPR, James White is gonna be the one
Speaker 1: that I ranked the highest. Uh, Philip your set whatever
Speaker 1: five for forty four. But Chris Hogan uh scored two
Speaker 1: touchdowns and actually lined up more than the slot yesterday.
Speaker 1: So something that we thought there was a chance that
Speaker 1: they could do something, they actually did. So that's good
Speaker 1: that you want to see that. UM, And then I guess,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully these next two games at the Patriots
Speaker 1: have Chris Hogan could put up close to the numbers
Speaker 1: that we expected while Julian Edelmond was out. Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: I hope who will continue to score when he's in
Speaker 1: my lad up this time? Ideally we're with Kevin Oldenberry.
Speaker 1: He is on the other side of the table. UM,

Speaker 1: before we wrap up, I didn't want to get to
Speaker 1: the vikings. We talked about the packers with Minnesota. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins was outstanding yesterday. Yeah, he was absolutely balling. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the one of the last throws,
Speaker 1: the touchdowns to Adam Feeling where he fitted the window
Speaker 1: that he fitted in and it was intercepted twice between
Speaker 1: the safety and the cornerback. Was one of the most
Speaker 1: phenomenal throws that I have honestly ever seen. So shout
Speaker 1: out to Kirk Cousins. He put her all out there yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know on Carton and Friends, they were talking a
Speaker 1: lot about the the Clay Matthews b hit, you know,
Speaker 1: penalty sack. I mean I just read before any means
Speaker 1: before we went on the air, actually read Tony Anthony,
Speaker 1: referee describing it, and it wasn't the new It was
Speaker 1: not the new rule about body weight. It was not
Speaker 1: helmet to helmet. It was not low either. It was
Speaker 1: not low. It was picking up the quarterback off the
Speaker 1: ground and driving him. So the reporter asked Tony Cratzy,
Speaker 1: what should he have done? Well? Not that, So what
Speaker 1: is supposed to do? Greg, I have no idea pushing
Speaker 1: him slightly tap him? What I mean? I don't know
Speaker 1: what else is claim Matt, you're supposed to do in
Speaker 1: that sense? Um, Look, Adam feel and Stefan Diggs, they're
Speaker 1: obviously you know, borderline wide receiver ones. They're high and
Speaker 1: wide receiver too, low and wide receiver ones. Uh. Kyle Rudolph,
Speaker 1: I was very intrigued to see this performance out of him.
Speaker 1: Eight targets, seven receptions, seventy two yards. Much like Sammy Watkins.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him really click with UM with Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins yet as the quarterback going back to preseason. So
Speaker 1: he steps in here finally has a pretty good game.
Speaker 1: Seven for seventy two. I see some people a little
Speaker 1: bit worried about Dalvin Cook ten for thirty eight. I
Speaker 1: will say I love the usage that he's had in
Speaker 1: the passing game. So far, he he's had fifty two
Speaker 1: receiving yards yesterday, five targets and three receptions, so he's
Speaker 1: been extremely involved in that front. And the last week
Speaker 1: he also had six receptions for fifty five yards. Um,
Speaker 1: I actually think Aln Cook is a decent by Low.
Speaker 1: If someone's freaking out about him right now, Greg, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of interested. Also, Yeah, I'm kind of interested. Also,
Speaker 1: Like he pulled out lane yesterday, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people are nervous. He says he's fine. Um, so I'm
Speaker 1: I'm interested in down In Cook for sure on a
Speaker 1: potential by Low. Um, yeah, I I completely agree. We
Speaker 1: have time for like one more game, Frank, where do
Speaker 1: you want to go? What? What? What is important to you?
Speaker 1: I think instead of a game, he's just probably just
Speaker 1: talking about a player, like the player that everyone's freaking
Speaker 1: out about right now. Okay, he gets the player everybody's
Speaker 1: freaking out about right now, is David Johnson. That is
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. David Johnson, who had eighty catches just two
Speaker 1: years ago, had like two targets yesterday. It was terrible.
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy is doing the thing that coaches do when
Speaker 1: they're idiots, and that is instill instilling their scheme instead
Speaker 1: of installing a scheme that fits the players. David Johnson
Speaker 1: is really good at receiving out of the backfield, really
Speaker 1: good at running outside. Of course, Mike McCoy is having
Speaker 1: none of that. We know it's all his offense because
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes, the defensive coach. How nervous one attend should
Speaker 1: you be about David Johnson four. I'm really not as
Speaker 1: nervous as everybody else's because he just had nine targets
Speaker 1: last week Greg and he caught five of those for
Speaker 1: thirty receiving yards. He scored a touchdown last week, so
Speaker 1: he is still the goal line back. I mean he's
Speaker 1: still seeing touches. The look, they were down so early
Speaker 1: in this game, they couldn't run the ball. They had
Speaker 1: to abandon the run. He still ran thirteen times for
Speaker 1: forty eight yards. Still on a per carry basis, he
Speaker 1: wasn't terrible. It's just overall the Arizona Cardinals offense hasn't
Speaker 1: looked good. I think eventually, sooner rather than later, they're
Speaker 1: handing us off to Josh Rosen and he can't be
Speaker 1: worse than what Sam Bradford has done. We hope, we hope.
