And you know, weirdly enough, 13 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: there's still two teams that are in the playoff phrase 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: because that's just how the NFC East is. We got 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: that and plenty more to talk about on this show today, 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: but before we dive into it, as we always do 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: about this tible, talk to our faithful producer, singer Edward L. Murphy. 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Esquire and Murphy, I heard you had sort of a 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: banana mishap this morning. Is that correct? Mishap? I'm a 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm a very routine based person, So obviously before we 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: record the show and we have a lot of stuff 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: going on here, I I do the same breakfast egg 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: whites banana. Unfortunately, the banana was too brown. I don't 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: like the organic brown bannas. Have to throw them out 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: because it gets mushy and and I'm actually allergic to bananas. 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: And weirdly, the more um brown it is, the more 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: it hurts my mouth, So I have to have to 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: toss them. Just a waste of money. The shelf life 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: is way too, way too short with these bananas. Yeah, 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: that's the problem with bananas is that they have zero 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: shelf life, and especially when it's warm, and I know 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: it's been warm in l A, Like, yeah, they ripen 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: even faster. I'm sort of the opposite, like I can't 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: really unripe bananas, Like I can sort of eat them 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: when they get a little browner um, but I can't. 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: I can't do the granana because it just sort of 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: makes me nauseous. Yeah, the green ones are also weird. 38 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: This is a very fine line with which bananas are 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: good to eat. But it's like I'm trying to stay 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: healthy as possible and throwing this quarantin. Obviously, Jim's stuff 41 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: are and open. It's like, so, you know, no band 42 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: is now. I want to be hungry the rest of 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the day. I don't want to snack on any bad stuff, 44 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: so I just yeah, rough start in the morning. It 45 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: is not a good start to the day. Hopefully the 46 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: rest of your day gets a little bit better after 47 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: we get through the earth period. Yeah, here we go. 48 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: All right, it is Wednesday, which means we bring in 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: our pal Adam Rank to help us through the day. 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: And he's gonna have his starts and sits a little 51 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: bit later. You didn't have any fruit related misfortune this morning, 52 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: did you? You know? It was weird On Big Brother? 53 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: On what was it Tuesday Night, Cody was talking about 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: how he hates bananas and if I was on the 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: final jury, I would vote against him just for that. 56 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: I think he's played the most flawless game. Oh there's 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: my headphones. I think he's played the most flawless. Sorry, 58 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: I've been I've been looking for my earbuds like all 59 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: day and I'm yelling at my daughter like what did 60 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: you do with them? And I'm like over here, I'm 61 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: so sorry. So Asoka tano rank, I apologize to you. 62 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: She's downstairs yelling. You know she's happy in her heart. 63 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was surprised that he he hates. But 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: I guess it's weird because like, I'm not an eggs 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: person and it's not like a it's not like a 66 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: political statement. I just don't enjoy it. And I always 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: think it's the weirdest thing when people are like, why 68 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: don't you like it? Like somebody would if somebody went 69 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: up to a how do you not like Brett? Like 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: bro It's like, it's not like I choose this. I don't. 71 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: I don't choose what foods I like or dislike. It's 72 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: it's up to my taste. Budge, yell at my tongue 73 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: if you want to. It's not it's that it's not 74 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: my I would love to love eggs, like my life 75 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: would be way easier. Like I'm the worst guy to 76 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: go to breakfast with because I'm like, I'm not the 77 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: eggs guy. Just give me the colmassa or whatever. But 78 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. You gotta move forward. 79 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad that Eddie was able to get through that, 80 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: though Chill Boss is a pretty good substitute. Though for 81 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: people who don't like eggs um for sure, if you 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: got to make the choice, then then that's that's not 83 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: a bad way to go. All right, Let's let's choose 84 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: to go and do some fantasy headlines right now. Talk 85 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: about some of the big news that's gonna affect fantasy football. 86 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: The biggest one you can probably see it over my shoulder. 87 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: It is two a time in Miami. The Dolphins of 88 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: the side. They are going to make the rookie to 89 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: a tang of Baloa. They're starting quarterback for the rest 90 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: of the season, at least presumably for the rest of 91 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: the season. It props to you, Adam Rank, because you 92 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: sort of called this a couple of weeks ago on 93 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: this show. You said that after the bye, when they 94 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: start the rams, that is a good time to get 95 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: to in there. So he's in. The question is is 96 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: he worth an ad on fantasy rosters? Well, I do 97 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: believe that he's worth a speculative ad in if you 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: have some room, if you have an extra roster spot, 99 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: if you have a guy that you've been hanging onto 100 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: and you you look at and you're like, why am 101 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: I still holding onto this player? Then I would go 102 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: out and do it. I'm not usually a huge advocate 103 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: of carrying a couple of quarterbacks, but I think that 104 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: he's got enough upside that unless you're absolutely loaded at 105 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: the position, if you have Patrick Mahomes obviously Russell Wilson, 106 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: you probably don't need to make that move. But I 107 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: do think that he's worth an ad and I do 108 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: think again, is this makes sense for the Dolphins. I 109 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: know that we all love Ryan Fitzpatrick, but even though 110 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: they're three and three, are they did you really feel 111 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: they were on the same level as the Chiefs and 112 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Ravens, Like, make this move, Let's 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: have some excitment thing. I'm kind of excited about what 114 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: this means to the rest of their players, because I 115 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: think that we could see an uptick for a number 116 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: of their skill guys. I think that's sort of the 117 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: big question. I think part of the reason at least 118 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: fantasy geeks wanted to see Fitzpatrick's stay in there was 119 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: just for the consistency of it is that we sort 120 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: of know what we have already, and you know, if 121 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: you're starting DeVante Parker, Mike Kasicky, Preston Williams, what have you. 122 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: You just sort of want that comfort food of knowing 123 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: that Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be able to get 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: the ball to your guys. We don't like change, we 125 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: don't like uncertainty, and that's sort of what this thing does. 126 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: As a football fan, I'm excited to see two. I 127 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: just want to see the guy go out there and 128 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: see what he can do. He brings a new element 129 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: to this offense. I look, I know we always joke 130 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: about Ryan Fitzpatrick being the leading rusher for the Dolphins 131 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: last year, but running is not necessarily the strong suit 132 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: of his game. Uh. You get some extra mobility back 133 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: there with two us. So I'm very cure to see 134 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: how this sort of thing works. But you're talking about worried. 135 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Are you worried about Miles Gaskins? His? Yeah? Are you 136 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: going down like it's gonna up? That was my question 137 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: is what happens to the rest of these guys. I mean, 138 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback who runs. Is he going to 139 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: dump the ball off to Miles Gaskin or he just 140 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: gonna take off and run? I mean what does this 141 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: mean for the rest of their skill position guys? I 142 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: think that it makes the offense far more dynamic. They're 143 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna get more first downs, which means there's gonna be 144 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: more opportunity to be on the field. I know it's 145 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: fun to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick go out there and do 146 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: his thing, but he's still throw a lot of interceptions. 147 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: He heard the ball over. I think to A is 148 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: one of these guys that we've seen come into the 149 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: league over the last couple of years who can really 150 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: make an offense sing I. You know, I would even 151 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: equate it. I mean, we we don't have to go 152 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: far Marcus. Let's look at Los Angeles and Tyrod was 153 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: a player that we love, very safe option. But look 154 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: at how much better the Chargers have been since Justin 155 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Herbert has taken over as the starting quarterback. And now 156 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: you've got to a who a couple of years ago 157 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: after his freshman season, people were, you know, if that 158 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: would have been the NBA, he would have been the 159 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: first overall pick in the draft. So I I think 160 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: this makes it more dynamic, and I think this is 161 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna be nothing but a boon for that for that Dolphins, 162 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Dolphins offensive skill set, and especially Myles Guy. I I 163 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: do have a lot of shares of Miles gasking, and 164 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: I really do believe that he's gonna be a huge benefactor. 165 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: He's not scoring a lot of touchdowns anyways, so it's 166 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: not like, oh my gosh, this guy is scoring eight 167 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns a game. Now he's gonna get none. It's like, no, 168 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: he does all his work between the twenties. I think 169 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: there's gonna be more opportunity to move the ball in 170 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: between the twenties. All Right, I'm going to I'm going 171 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: to take your word for it. I'm going to just 172 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: kind of relax and sort of what do you mean, 173 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: why are you Summer Ross? You're a Dodgers fan. You 174 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: guys just won the World Series last night. Joe, First 175 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: of all, that series is a joke. Just stop it now. 176 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: You should be so happy. Cody Valinger is now like 177 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: a good player all of a sudden because he was 178 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: awful in the playoffs. Kershaw didn't like the house on fire. 179 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing that can I say one thing about 180 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is everybody I love that. Everybody was complaining 181 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: like why are they pulling them out? I'm like, bro, 182 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: just because of the toddler hasn't burned the house down, 183 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: you still take the matches out of their hand. That 184 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: was the smartest thing that Dave Roberts has ever done, 185 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: which I know is a is a short bar. That's 186 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: not You're not making a huge leap. But anyways, I'm 187 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: sorry I derailed it once again. Sorry sorry Ryan, since 188 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: since we're on this topic, I mean, one, it was 189 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: a smart move to pull him out because you just 190 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: don't want to see him go through the lineup another time, 191 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: especially once you had a seven run lead at that point. 192 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: That made sense. The other part is I'm really sick 193 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: of all my friends who are not Dodger fans going 194 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: out of their way to try and jinx everything by 195 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: already gifting them the world series title. There's nothing I 196 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: can do. I've had enough. And by the way, as 197 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: an Angels fan, listen, our lives sucks and it's not fun. Okay, 198 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: we never win anything. The last time we made the 199 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: playoffs with two thousand fourteen, I'm sitting there mine in 200 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: my own business, watching Big Brother, and then I have 201 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: to go online and start defending Mike Trout and like 202 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: everybody stopped with your nonsense. Like, listen, we're not a 203 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: good as a team. We don't make the playoffs. But 204 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: Mike Trout is like, like the Angels don't make the playoffs. 205 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: That's a fact. Mike Trout is the best player in 206 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: baseball also a fact. Why are we arguing either one 207 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: of these things? And you know what, I want to 208 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: see Mike Trout succeed. I like watching him. He's a 209 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: fun player. He succeeds. He's really good. Like I think 210 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: the guys are. The guys around him don't succeed as 211 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: often as they probably should. Um, all right, speaking of succeeding, 212 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: Uh right. He most was having some success in San Francisco, 213 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: but now it looks like he's going to the injured 214 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: reserve as he's got an ankle injury, so he's gonna 215 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: be out for at least the next you weeks. So 216 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: which Niners running back would you prefer to have on 217 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: your roster and start this week against the Patriots. Well, 218 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to one of my sis. This week 219 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be a forty Niners running back. But the 220 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: one player I would talk about is Jamachael Hasty. And 221 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned him on Fantasy Live on Tuesday. 222 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: He's got a little bit of bozz previously, but I 223 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: really do believe that he looks like the most dynamic 224 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: guy when he gets an opportunity to run. The problem is, 225 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: and it's always gonna be the situation with the forty 226 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: Niners is that Jerick McKinnon is there and Wilson has 227 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: been battling an ankle injury as well. But look at 228 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: the juice, like you look at this, like that's all right. 229 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: He bounces off that hit right there. That's not a 230 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: bad play that this is a good That was a 231 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: good RAMS team by the way that they they beat. 232 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: He catches the ball out of the backfield and I 233 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: think this, yeah, this is the run. That's nice. That's 234 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you don't you know, I don't. I 235 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: don't sit there and call my friend to be like, dude, 236 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: you gotta see this ten yard run. But like that's impressive, 237 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: Like if you you gained ten yards every time he 238 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: touched the football, like you're gonna be playing in the 239 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: NFL for a long time. Like change his direction right 240 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: there pretty well. So I think that he's got the 241 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: best opportunity. The only problem is this week he's going 242 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: up against the New England Patriots. They've allowed the fifth 243 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: most or the fifth fewest fantasy points to running backs 244 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: this season, so I do believe that they're gonna probably 245 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: try to make Jimmy Garoppolo throw the football a little bit. 246 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of staying away from the forty Niners 247 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: running backs, but I would pick up ja Michael Hasty 248 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: if he's still available here on Wednesday morning. Yeah, that 249 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense. I mean, look at the the 250 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: pecking order I think of Niners running backs that you 251 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: kind of want to look at his. Look for Jerick McKinnon. 252 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: Chances are he's probably gone in most leagues, but if 253 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: he's there, I think he's probably the number one guy. 254 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: I like Hasty is the number two option if you're 255 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: looking for Niners running backs. Jeff Wilson. I'm willing to 256 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: see what his status is. He he missed last week 257 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: with a calf injury, so they're not sure what his 258 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: status is going to be this week. So that's going 259 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. The Only thing about this 260 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: is we're gonna talk about all these guys, and what's 261 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: going to happen is that Tevin Coleman is going to 262 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: come back and upset the apple cart and get like 263 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Tim Carries for like you know, seventeen yards and really 264 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: just frustrate all of us. But uh, in the short term, 265 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: I like what Hasty has to offer. I remember people 266 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: asking me about him, mostly Dynasty League folks back in 267 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: like July and August, asking me about Jamachael Hasty, and 268 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, at that point, he was sort 269 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: of buried on the depth chart and he was a 270 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: practice squad guy. But the way the injuries have gone, 271 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: he's getting his opportunity and I think he's at least 272 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: sort of worth an ad at least for for the 273 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: next week or two, and then you know, we'll figure 274 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: it out once we get beyond week seven. Other running 275 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: back news, the Chiefs, we know I've already brought in 276 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Levian Bell, the expectations he's going to play for them 277 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: coming up this next week now. According to Jay Glazer, Uh, 278 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: he believes that they brought in Bell not to be 279 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: a starter, but mostly to take some of the workload 280 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: out of Clyde Edwards Hilaire's hands. So does this at 281 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: all change how you feel about this Kansas City backfield? Yeah, 282 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: I do believe that once the initial shock and dread 283 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: of being a manager with Clyde Edwards Hilaire and just 284 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: seeing Levan Bell there, you're like, like, it's you know, 285 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: we we we post the Jeremy Piven meme Ari Gold, 286 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: I should say, you know, and we have fun with it, 287 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: and everybody you know has their consternation and it's funny enough. 288 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: I did film at p s A about this, but 289 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: to give you the longer form view of this, it 290 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: kind of strikes me similar to what the Browns have 291 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: done or what they were trying to do this year 292 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: with with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, where you could 293 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: have two running backs who could be effective for you 294 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: this season. And I think Clyde Edwards Hilaire, as much 295 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: as we wanted him to be a workhorse number one 296 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: running back, he was really going to fall into the 297 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: r B two role. And I think a big reason 298 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: why is he's not great around the goal line. We 299 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: saw that in Week one. We were crying to you know, 300 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: trying to dismiss it because we wanted him to succeed 301 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: so much. But I think ultimately he's gonna be a 302 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get a lot of yards in between 303 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: the twins. I don't believe that there's any running back 304 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: who's had as many scrimmage yards, many rushing yards. I 305 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: know if he's not first, he's amongst the leaders, so 306 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: that's not gonna change. You know, they're gonna bring in 307 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: a Bean Bell in pass pro, probably near the goal line. 308 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: So I see Bell is a flex guy. But I 309 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: think Clyde Edwards Hilaire is going to be the guy 310 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: that you're going to count on again. I mean, what 311 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: what what are your alternative are you gonna start Michael p. Ryan, 312 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna go, gonna go with Malcolm Brown, Gonna go 313 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: with ja Michael Hayes. Actually we were just talking about 314 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: him now, But I mean, what are your options like 315 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: if you're if you have an embarrassment of riches at 316 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: that running back position to where you are going to 317 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: be making a decision whether you're starting Clyde Edwards a 318 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: layer every week or not, then congratulations, you're probably gonna 319 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: win your league. But I think he's gonna be effective. 320 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: And that number that you see right there on the screen, 321 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: eleven fantasy point, get used to it. That's a comfortable number. 322 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm happy with that, Like, that's that's what it is. 323 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: That's why you know you might have spent too much 324 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: for it. You know, it's like when you buy food 325 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: from a food truck, like it's a good burrito. I 326 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: don't know that it was worth twenty bucks, was a 327 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: good burrito. I think what what happens to us we 328 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: start analyzing these players is that suddenly, you know, a 329 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: door opens and we sort of forget, you know, what 330 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: the evaluation of the player was to begin with, right, 331 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean because at the beginning of the year, I 332 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: think we were all sort of expecting that this was 333 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: going to be a two headed attack. Right, it was 334 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: going to be Clyde Edwards Ahlaire and Damian Williams. Damian 335 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: Williams opts out. C h suddenly becomes the lead running back, 336 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: and we all tryd of lose our minds, like forgetting 337 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: that there was a reason that we thought he was 338 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: going to be in a rotation in the first place. 339 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: If if he was that great, that he was just 340 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: gonna walk in and immediately be a twenty five carry 341 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: a game back, Uh, they would have made him that 342 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: from the beginning. There wouldn't have been this this battle 343 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: between him and Damian Williams. So I think sometimes we 344 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: sort of lose our heads because we see an opportunity 345 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: in front of us. And I think this is just 346 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: sort of reminding us, this is taking us back to 347 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: where we were on Clyde Edwards Hilaire in you know, 348 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: July and August again and reminding us of you know, look, 349 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: not that he's a bad player, but obviously the Chiefs 350 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: have some other plans for him. They aren't ready for 351 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: him to be just a full workhorse back. So I 352 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: think after the initial shock, I think you're we have 353 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: all sort of we've all sort of calmed down a 354 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: little bit. We've kind of gotten the panic out. Uh 355 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: and and we can just move on, right because uh 356 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: And the thing is that the other part of this 357 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: is I'm telling somebody the other day Levan Bell as 358 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: a part time player in an Andy Reid offense, I 359 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: think it's still better than Levy on Bill is a 360 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: full time player in an Adam Gaze offense. I think, yeah, 361 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: that's huge. I mean, that is the thing. And this 362 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: is the thing. You also have a ticket to the 363 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: hottest show, the hottest offense in the NFL. Now with 364 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: At first, when we bought the Clyde Edwards Laire, we 365 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: thought we were going to be in the pit. Now 366 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: we're a little you know, we're a couple of about 367 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: rows back on the loads. But we're still at the show, baby, 368 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: So you know what, I'm gonna live it up. I'm 369 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: gonna have a good time. I'm gonna go to the 370 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: beer line. I'm gonna get a couple of surveyss and 371 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna have a fun 372 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy it because I'm stumbling like 373 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm drinking already, but no, not this coffee guarantee it. 374 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: But now I think we're gonna be fine, like every 375 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: chill out, We're we're good. Start them, by the way, 376 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: started this week against right there you Denver, Denver, Denver, Denver, 377 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: Denver Star Star against Denver hy.

Okay, so we are 384 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: through six weeks of the NFL regular season, which is 385 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: just about the halfway point for the fantasy regular season. 386 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: So I think it was a good time to look 387 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: at some of the rookie running backs and sort of 388 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: give our grades on how we think they're doing now. 389 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: I I left James Robinson out because at this point 390 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: he's a top ten running back that feels like an 391 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: A plus plus. Clyde everard to Layer has been fantastic. 392 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: We talked about him, and he feels like he's gonna 393 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: get a pretty universally good grade. But I picked three 394 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: guys who have been sort of kind of middle of 395 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: the pack in terms of their production versus maybe what 396 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: we expected from them, and so I kind of want 397 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: to get a feeling on how we are thinking about 398 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: these guys now. First one is Jonathan Taylor, who, uh, 399 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: there were big expectations for him and sort of like 400 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: we talked about with C. E h Right when Marlon 401 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Mack went down, the thought was Jonathan Taylor was just 402 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: going to take over this back deal and do huge 403 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: things for the Colts. That hasn't really happened so far 404 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: this season. So three weeks six, what great are you 405 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: giving j T? I mean, I guess the C I 406 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, because again, Marcus, this goes back to 407 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: our own perception and the expectations we put upon him, 408 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: Like we should have lowered those expectations. It's kind of 409 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: like when I went to go see the movie Skyscraper, 410 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: I lowered my expectations because I had just seen The 411 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: Rock in what could quite possibly be the greatest movie 412 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: of all time, and of course I'm talking about San Andreas. 413 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: So I go into Skyscraper with lowered expectations, and I 414 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. It was fantastic and I 415 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: enjoyed every minute of it, but I had those lowered expectations. 416 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: And I feel that if I had a real stick 417 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: veal of Jonathan Taylor coming into this season, I would 418 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: be encouraged by the production that I'm getting. But you 419 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: know what, I kind of I kind of oversold it 420 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: in my mind a little bit. Thought he was gonna 421 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: be getting more production. I thought he was gonna catch 422 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: more passes out of the backfield. So it's a scene, 423 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: but it's just it's because I'm a teacher, and I'm 424 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: grading it too hard on my own personal bias and 425 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: not necessarily on his value or production or anything as 426 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm knocking on wood. Apparently, I'm willing to give him 427 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: a B plus. I mean, he has sort of produced, 428 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: maybe not to the level we would have thought. Maybe 429 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm being dug what we're if you're being a little 430 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: bit too tough, Rank, I think maybe I'm being a 431 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: little bit too generous with the B plus there. Uh 432 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: you know that I thought he'd have some more big 433 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: breakout games. He only has one one yard Russian games 434 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: so far this season. He actually had a couple of 435 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: games were he's had as many or more receiving yards 436 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: than rushing yards. So he's doing things, He's getting opportunities. 437 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting with that huge breakout game for him, 438 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: but I think on the whole he's been okay. I 439 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: mean he's still a top fifth team running back in 440 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: most formats. So I'm willing to sort of give him 441 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, especially with an offense that 442 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: has been as inconsistent as the Colts. So I'll give 443 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: him a slight edge and give him a B plus 444 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: on this one. Uh. Next one is DeAndre Swift, who 445 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: really it's sort of kind of been missing in action. 446 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: It feels like until this past week when you know, 447 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: reports came that Matt Patricia had to win that game 448 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: otherwise he could be fired, and then all of a sudden, 449 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: they give DeAndre Swift all this work. He has over 450 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: a hundred yards, he has two touchdowns, so you know, 451 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: taking that all into accounts, what great are you giving him? Well, 452 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: I think based on one game, it would be an A. 453 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: But I think overall it's a. See. It's like when 454 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: I was, you know, the first year I was in 455 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: junior high and I was taking a history class. I 456 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: gotta see. I gotta be my first semester and in 457 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: history because and I was like, I don't understand in 458 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: the first the first quarter I out of sea and 459 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: the second quarter I got an A and the teacher surmise, like, oh, 460 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: you split the difference. I'm like, bro, I'm trending up. 461 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: Give me the A. And then my teacher was like 462 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: it's junior high guy, Like you're gonna be fine, Like, 463 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: don't word like if you're getting this twisted over it. 464 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're talking about with with 465 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, is like we shouldn't worry about what happened 466 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: early in the season. He dropped the potential winner against 467 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: the Bears, he had some other problems. They started going 468 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: to Adrian Peterson. But I think this is trending up 469 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: to a player that could be an a like if 470 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: they make this commitment to him and really go forward 471 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: giving the ball to DeAndre Swift, and I know a 472 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: lot of people will come out and they'll be like, well, 473 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: he's a Belichick guy, and that means that every week 474 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: it could change. But remember when Sony Michelle was doing 475 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: things during in his rookie year. They stuck with them. 476 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: And I really do believe that if Matt Patricia enjoys 477 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: coaching the Detroit Lions, he might nod. So I don't know, 478 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: don't ask me, but if he enjoys coaching the Detroit Lions, 479 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: he's going to give the ball to DeAndre Swift moving forward. 480 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: I completely agree with the grade. I'm giving him a 481 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: C as well, although I think some of it is 482 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: just that, uh, they weren't giving him the proper tools 483 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: to be successful, namely, you know, giving him the ball. 484 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: The fact is they kept going to Adrian Peterson early 485 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: in the year. They have slowly started to give him 486 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: more opportunities. He was catching the ball down near the 487 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: goal line, so that was certainly a positive there. And 488 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: in this past week we saw him get a good 489 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: number of carries, have the yard, is getting the end zone. 490 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: So maybe now they're starting to see that he can 491 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: be successful if given the right opportunities here. So he 492 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: is trending up. I think if we had done this 493 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, this would have been maybe 494 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: a d or worse for DeAndre Swift. So he's going 495 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: in the right direction. I think it's going to get better. 496 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: But right now he's just been average. He has not 497 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: been as advertiser what what we thought he could be. 498 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: But I think I think the tide is turning for 499 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: the Andre Swift. The last one is cam Akers, and 500 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: there was you know, I didn't know what to make 501 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: of cam Akers in this Rams backfield at the start 502 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: of the season. I kept saying that I went after 503 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson because he seemed like he's sort of like 504 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: that midshelf Whiskey, right, It's like the intersection of affordability 505 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: and quality, And that's kind of how I felt about 506 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson. Cam Akers. Uh, we just haven't seen much 507 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: of him. He was hurt and then last week he 508 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: just didn't get the ball, didn't get on the field 509 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: a whole lot. So you know, at this point, what 510 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: are we feeling about cam Akers? No, I think you're 511 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: absolutely right. It kind of reminds me when you go 512 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's and you can spend thirty bucks on 513 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: bullet bourbon or else you can get Rebel Yell for 514 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: like nine dollars or whatever. It is, like, that's what 515 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: I should have done, because I bought in the cam 516 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: Akers and it's been an f or a d I 517 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, perhaps you know, we should have 518 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: gone into this situation listening to Sean McVeigh, who was 519 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: very effusive in his praise of the way Kyle Shanahan 520 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: was dealing with his running backs, and we should have 521 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: gotten the clue that none of these guys we're gonna 522 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: be well. I mean, Darryl Henderson has actually been pretty good, 523 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: but realize that this was going to be something that 524 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: was gonna be in flux. They were gonna take three 525 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: guys to replace Todd Gurley. So cam Akers to me, 526 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: and I think that this really comes down to just 527 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: watching him at Florida State, and of course the joke 528 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: of like who knows how to play it behind a 529 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: bad line, but the Rams line has been playing very 530 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: well this season and cam Akers, through injuries or whatever 531 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: it is, hasn't been able to take advantage. So this 532 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: this is not even passing grade because you made the 533 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: NFL and didn't get cut, So I guess I have like, 534 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: I can't give you an f You're You're in the league, 535 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: so that's that's pretty cool, but you're not going to 536 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: be fantasy relevant. Even when he has his first breakout game, 537 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of those things that we're all 538 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: gonna be apprehensive about because it just feels like this 539 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: Rams offense is not trustworthy. I'm gonna I'm gonna give 540 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: him an incomplete on this one just because he just 541 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: hasn't really been around. He just a couple of weeks 542 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: with an injury. Then you know, he comes back and 543 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: he has an okay game against Washington. Then we hear 544 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: that he's going to get more opportunity against the forty Niners, 545 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: except I think he played one more snap than you 546 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: and I in that game against San Francisco. So he 547 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: just he just hasn't really been there so far this year, 548 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: so I can't really give him a full and true 549 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: grade on this one. I'm still waiting to see what happened. 550 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: But wait, if you are in school and you were 551 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: truant from class, would your teacher be like, oh, no, 552 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: that's okay, you weren't here, Like, no, you have to 553 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 1: be there to do the work. That's part of it. Listen. 554 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't know we could take the cop out and 555 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: just be like incomplete. Now give him a grade letter grade, right, Okay. 556 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: Then if I'm giving him a letter grade, it is 557 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: a D. Like that's it. Like, I'm with it's a 558 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: D because he has he's been missing, although you know, 559 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: I think there's at least excused absences. I mean, you 560 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: don't know where he was. He didn't just ditch and 561 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, go to the movies or anything like that. 562 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: Um so, but but has it has not been good? 563 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: And I'm with you, like, if he does have that 564 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: big game, we're all gonna sort of look at one. 565 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna take advantage of it because nobody's gonna be 566 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: starting cam akers by that point. But also we're gonna 567 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: look around and we're gonna be like, yeah, this was 568 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: really nice, but next week it will probably be the 569 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown game, They're gonna go back to Darrell Henderson. 570 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: We're just not gonna trust it. So so far, I mean, 571 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: there's still, you know, a lot of time left to 572 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: go in the regular season, the NFL regular season, but 573 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: so far cam Akers has been I think one of 574 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: the bigger rookie disappointments that we have seen this year. 575 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: And you're right, Sean mc sort of told us that. 576 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: But I think I think we lost trust in Sean 577 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: McVeigh because last year he kept trying to tell us 578 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: that Todd Gurley wasn't hurt, and we were all watching 579 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: it were like, Todd Gurley actually is kind of hurt, dude, like, 580 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: but he was still good, Like Todd Gurley was still 581 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: good last year. Like I would take last year's Todd 582 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: Gurley in an instant this season. So with the Atlanta 583 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Falcons um that's that is neither here nor there. Are 584 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: Inspired by ongoing conversations with players, the NFL, NFL Players Association, 585 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: and Players Coalition together launched NFL Votes to empower and 586 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: improve our communities through exercising the right to vote.

We're helping promote local 591 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: black owned businesses around the nation, So we're gonna badded 592 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 1: into Giants and Eagles on Thursday Night Football, and if 593 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: you're in Philadelphia, be sure to check out Brotherly Grub. 594 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: So I know, on the surface, this is not an 595 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: exciting matchup. It's a pair of teams that have a 596 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: combined two wins between them, but they are both very 597 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: much in the hunt for the NFC East title because 598 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: that's just how the NFC East is so far this year. 599 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: But on the field, it has been a frustrating year 600 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: for Evan Ingram and anybody who drafted him in fantasy. 601 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: But considering the Eagles have struggled defensively against opposing passing games, 602 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: is this kind of a make or break week for 603 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram for your fantasy team? Yeah? Like, how long 604 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: do have to keep going on with this? Like? I 605 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: it is the tight end equivalent of Kenyan Drake of 606 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: come on man like this? How how often do I 607 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: like every time there is a plus matchup and you 608 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: think this is going to be it? It never materializes. 609 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: It's you know, I guess it's all the the Superman 610 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: movies they've made over the last number of decades, ever 611 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: since Christopher Reeve knocked it out of the park, like 612 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: they they can't mess this one up. Although I will 613 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: say that the animated Superman Red Sun is excellent. So 614 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: animated fine, but like live action and hasn't been great. 615 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: So I'm starting Evan Ingram because I don't know if 616 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: you've seen the tight end position unless you picked up 617 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard today. But yeah, I'm out. I mean, I 618 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: gotta stardom, but I want to be out eventually. Yeah, 619 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: I think if it doesn't happen this week, then I'm 620 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: fully out. I thought a couple of weeks ago against 621 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys was going to be a chance for him, 622 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: but I think he had he had a rushing touchdown 623 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: and he had sixteen or seaving yards and like that 624 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: was it. So that sort of like put me on 625 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: the on the outs with him. But this is it. 626 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: This is really really the final straw with Evan Ingram. Like, 627 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen against Philadelphia, I think I'm sort 628 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: of out. By the way I've seen Superman returns just 629 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: sitting there in the Things you might like on Netflix 630 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: and like I'm I've tempted to go back and watch 631 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: it and hope that that maybe it isn't as boring 632 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: as I thought it was the first time around. I 633 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: don't know if you have. I will say that Man 634 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: of Steel I like better because the way it plays 635 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: into Batman Versus Superman, which is another movie that I like. 636 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: I will tell you that Justice League didn't hold up, 637 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: but Batman versus Superman was good. And I don't care 638 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: who you are, and you can come at me and 639 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: do whatever you gotta do, but it does make me 640 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: like Man of Steel a little bit better. And it's 641 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: got the k Dog, so I always got to represent 642 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: Kyl State Fullerton. So how bad was it really? So 643 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: that's a terrible analogy. Forgive me. I was raging. It's 644 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: early in the morning on the West Coast. I've been 645 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: looking for my your buds all morning. It's been a 646 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: tough goal of it. I understand, I do, I understand. 647 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: But by the way, you're right, the animated d C 648 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: stuff is a whole lot better than than the live 649 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: action stuff, no doubt. Okay, So choose your fighter you 650 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: gotta start one of these receivers in this game. Who's 651 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: it gonna be Darius Slayton or Travis fulgum Man. I 652 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: would really love, like, no, no joke. I would like 653 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 1: both these guys to be on my life in my lineup. 654 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: I have no hesitation. Although I do believe Sterling Shepard 655 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 1: is getting close to getting back. I'm gonna check, obviously, 656 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: check the injury reports and everything. But I like Fulham. 657 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: I think that he's played really well and he's somebody 658 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: that I believe in. And then even though they're starting 659 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: to talk about al Shan Jeffrey or Deshawnto whoever, it 660 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: is like, I forget the Eagles received like I whatever, 661 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: guy Like yes, you're like it's like when you see 662 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: me hitting maybe on an evy, you know, back in 663 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: the day, like people would be like, okay, Rank, you're 664 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: you're not showing up, but thanks for at least taking 665 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: the time to acknowledge that you sort of care about 666 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. But I think Travis has been fantastic, 667 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: and I think that this is gonna end up being 668 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: one of those guys that you can count on week 669 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: to week. I mean, he's been doing this against him 670 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: what what you would think are tough matchups and still 671 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: playing pretty well. So now he's got the Giants. This is, 672 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: of course when he has four points. But I think 673 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Travis in this one. I agree, 674 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go fold him in this one. Uh, 675 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: in part because the Giants their passing game has just 676 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: been sort of hit or miss. But regardless of what's 677 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: happened with the Eagles, Travis Fulgum has bawled out I 678 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: mean the last three over the last couple of weeks, 679 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: he's actually the wide receiver three. He's had touchdowns in 680 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 1: three games in a row, and I'm not so worried 681 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: about what happens to him. Uh when de Sean Jackson 682 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: comes back, which which could be Thursday, are when Alshon 683 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: Jeffrey comes back, which might be never. I have no 684 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: idea what's going on with Alshan Jeffrey, to be honest 685 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: with you, UM, So I think he's earned that opportunity. 686 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: I think he's gotten the trust of Carson Wentz and 687 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: I would feel okay with having him in my lineup, 688 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: at least as a flex maybe as a wide receiver 689 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: to uh. Starting on Thursday night. But speaking of Carson Wentz, 690 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you follow the Philly beat Riders and 691 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: the people who were watching this team, you know, very 692 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: very closely, they've made the point that Carson Wentz the 693 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks has been better than advertised. So 694 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: is it is it safe to maybe go back and 695 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: trust him if you have a quarterback issue this week? 696 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are already starting to 697 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: get Jalen Hurts into their DFS lineups and things like that, 698 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: which is amazing. I don't like the disrespect for Carson Wentz. 699 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I think he's playing really well given the circumstance having 700 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: to play with a cast of seemingly anonymous wide receivers. 701 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: It's like if they would have made Oceans eleven and 702 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: it was George Clooney and ten other dudes from some 703 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: high school drama department, probably wouldn't be as good. I'm 704 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: just saying. But he's gone out there and he's played well. 705 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: And then everybody had given up on them against the 706 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: Ravens last week, and he rallied them and got them 707 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: back into a position to possibly tie perhaps go on 708 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: to win that game. And so I think given the 709 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: degree of difficulty. And I say this because you know, 710 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: I had a lot of high expectations coming in for Philly. 711 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: Uh this this year, the Carson Wentz is gonna play 712 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: pretty well down the stretch. He's done it before. I 713 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: think that they'll eventually get to the five mark. He's 714 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: gonna start crushing it. If it turns out though that 715 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: guards are an important part of a football team. So 716 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: we saw last year what happened to Cleveland. I know 717 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: the Bears have had some injuries on the offensive line. 718 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: I see how that helps or hurts, I should say, 719 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: And I think the Eagles are going to the same 720 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: thing right now, so I trust him. And then there's 721 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: the Giants. You should go out there and put up 722 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: three hundred on this team. This is making me feel 723 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: better because at the start of the year I was 724 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: very much on this. Carson Wentz is a sleeper quarterback 725 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: and he has top five upside, and I think people 726 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: sort of looked sideways at it because the last couple 727 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: of years haven't been particularly great. And then he got 728 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: off to a really bad start this year and I 729 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: sort of had the kind of Homer Simpson back into 730 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: the bushes on that one. A little bit um, but 731 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, you look at him. He actually has four 732 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this year, which is something I don't think 733 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: we've talked about. He's had twenty or more fantasy points 734 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: and three of his last four games he is starting 735 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: to turn around. It's not pretty like it. People who 736 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: love the Law Sausage and Carson Wentz fantasy point should 737 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: watch neither one of them being made because it's just 738 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: not pretty. But it's effective. And so I think maybe 739 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: you're right, maybe he's starting to turn it around. Getting 740 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: some guys healthy will definitely help his cause. But he's 741 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: found some receivers he can trust. Alice Goddard is coming back. 742 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big help as well. So maybe 743 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: it was a little too soon to give up on 744 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and maybe things are gonna get better. So 745 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm starting to kind of buy back in on my 746 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: original take from the summer Alas Goddard. Okay, the savior, 747 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: the savior of the season is death. Can I can 748 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: I say one thing though, and listen. I'm not Daniel Jeremiah, 749 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: but I'm allowed to do a mock draft every year 750 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: about what teams should do. Don't listen this year I 751 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: was kind of good, and I told the Eagles draft 752 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, and they just did not want to listen 753 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: to me. They're like, we ought to go with Jalen Reagor, 754 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be the TCU receiver guy. 755 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: Am I right? But Justin Jefferson was playing in a 756 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: pro offense with a professional an they're all paid, but 757 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: like a professional level offensive coordinator. And Joe Brady, who 758 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: of course is now in Carolina, why wouldn't you make 759 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: that move? Why do you watch film and watch these 760 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: really good teams to be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, 761 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: no no, we don't want the receiver from this really 762 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: excellent team that's been winning national championships. Let's go for 763 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 1: the big twelve receiver and see how that works out. 764 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: And it's a naty who like if we were doing 765 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver report guards, he would have gotten incomplete 766 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: because like, where has he been? F F he's not here? 767 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: The F no, no completes, all right, all right, you 768 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: didn't show up the last so I guess I guess 769 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: he gets an all right?

So Adam rank As always has 778 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: his starts and sits for the week started the quarterback 779 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert after a week off, he's back in our 780 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: lives now. Yeah. Absolutely. I hope it's not a situation 781 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: where you walk away from a hot streak and it 782 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: never materializes once again. But this was one of the 783 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in fantasy before he took a boy. He 784 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: was the QB eight, averaging close to twenty two fantasy 785 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: points per game, and as a matter of fact, he 786 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: scored at least twenty two and three out of his 787 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: last four. He's got a great matchup this week against 788 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. My friends down in Duval County Hive 789 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: allowed four fantasy points on average the quarterbacks and three 790 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: of their last five games, so we're going with Herbert, 791 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: and we're also gonna start Matthew Stafford. And I understand 792 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: that any time Matthew Stafford has a plus matchup, it 793 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: always comes off like a television show that your friends 794 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: recommend on Netflix, like, Hey, you gotta watch this show, 795 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: and they build it up so much and it never materializes. 796 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: But there's no way that I can bench him against 797 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the most fantasy points 798 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: per game this season two quarterbacks close to thirty points 799 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: per game. They've allowed every quarterback this season to score 800 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: over twenty fantasy points, although I should say five of 801 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: six games. The one game that they didn't allow a 802 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: quarterback to go over twenty was when they played the Bears, 803 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: and Foals and Trabinsky combined for twenty eight fantasy points. So, 804 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, if you've been holding onto him or whatever 805 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: it is, make sure you're starting them. Did you know 806 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: that growing up, Matthew Stafford played baseball with Clayton Kershaw. 807 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm the fourth person ever, I'm the first person to 808 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: ever worth this fact. Why don't people talk about that 809 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: more that you? No one, no one ever talks about 810 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. So I'm glad I can educate 811 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: the people on that running backs. Who are you looking 812 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: at starting this week? Well, I'm gonna go with Ronald Jones. 813 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: He's been incredibly successful over the last couple of weeks, 814 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: continuing to consistently put up positive Fantasy points. He has 815 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 1: had at least fifteen in three consecutive games. Per game, 816 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: he's touched the ball twenty times. See what happens when 817 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: you when you get an opportunity to go out there, 818 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: you can put up fantasy points. He's playing the Las 819 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders this season, who have allowed the second most 820 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: fantasy points to running backs. And I understand this is 821 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: like a hot streak in blackjack, and you know at 822 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: some point it's gonna come crashing down. But I'm doubling 823 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: down every time until I get that bust guard. I 824 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: also like James Conner this week against the Tennessee Titans, 825 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: battle of two of the best teams in the A 826 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: f C. The good thing about Connor and he was 827 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: kind of overlooked and fantasy drafts this season, but he's 828 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: had at least fifteen Fantasy point it's in four consecutive games. 829 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: Like Ronald Jones, getting to touch the ball and awful 830 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: lot him coming in just over eighteen per game over 831 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: the last four and the Times have allowed the seventh 832 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: most rushing yards to running backs this season. So we 833 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: look at this game and we think it's gonna be 834 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of the best of the weekend, 835 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: if not the best. But I'm getting James Conner in 836 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: there for sure. I would like for the Steelers too. 837 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: If I have James Conner, I'd like for them to 838 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: stop giving the ball to Chase Claypool on the goal. Yeah, 839 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 1: he's a vulture. He's He's like a goal line vulture. 840 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: Now just let him run it in, please, That's all 841 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: I want. Wide receiver, Which which two guys are you 842 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: big on this week? I'm gonna go with Terry mclauren, 843 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: and it's been disappointing watching him a little bit with 844 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: Washington Ft. They seem like they're misusing his talents, kind 845 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: of like if he had Gordon Ramsey selling tacos at 846 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: Taco Bell, you'd be like, why the couldn't you do 847 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more with your talents? I mean, these 848 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: Doritos locos tacos are excellent, but I want a little 849 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: bit more. But Terry mclauren has gotten at least eleven 850 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: fantasy points in five of six games. His targets share 851 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: is fourth most in the NFL, and of course he's 852 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: going up against the Dallas Cowboys, who give up a 853 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: tone of fantasy points. I don't know if they're ready 854 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: to pack it in. I think that this is a 855 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: game where the Cowboys rise back up. We saw it 856 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: with the forty Niners last week. I think this is 857 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: that game for the Cowboys. But I'm still comfortable enough 858 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 1: starting Terry McLaurin. And hey, everybody, it's an OH b 859 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: J game. Where's the bell? OH b J game? We 860 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: can start him this week. Obviously, this is not somebody 861 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: that we're gonna trust weekend and week out. But the 862 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: last time he played the Cincinnati Bengals, he had close 863 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: to eighteen fantasy points. And the Bengals have allowed a 864 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: top five excuse me, they've allowed five top twenty fantasy 865 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: wide receivers in the last four games. So I look 866 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: at this one as being a shootout, a lot of 867 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: points being scored, and a lot of opportunity to get 868 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. In your lineup. It's been here or 869 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: miss with O b J. But he's become a matchup 870 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: based guy, and this looks like a pretty good matchup 871 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: at the tight end spot. You're you're keeping the Browns 872 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: love rolling. Huh. Well, absolutely. And I think a lot 873 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: of people avoided Austin Hooper this year because for the 874 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: obvious reasons of that Brown's offense is going to be 875 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: run heavy. He had two stud running backs to start 876 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: the year. You had O b J. Jarvis Landry. So 877 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, Austin Hooper was probably not going to have 878 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: the success that he had with the Atlanta Falcons. But 879 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: he's been pretty consistent over the last couple of weeks. 880 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: He's had at least ten Fantasy points in three consecutive games. 881 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: The Bengals have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to 882 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: tight ends this season. So I think that Austin Hooper 883 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: this is one if you haven't been if you haven't 884 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: been starting him over the last couple of weeks, you 885 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: gotta start working him back into your lineup. And I 886 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: want to go with a danger zone type player. I'm 887 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna do a little bit of a throwback and listen, 888 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: go check the rankings, but let me just talk a 889 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: little bit about Ian Thomas, who is the tight end 890 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: sixty this season, so it hasn't been going well. The 891 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: Saints have allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends 892 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: this season, the second most receiving yards per game the 893 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: tight ends this season. I know it's an awful risk 894 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: to go with Ian Thomas, and I'm not saying that 895 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: you bench who would Hunter Henry are doing something ridiculous. 896 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a tight end and there's 897 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 1: a lot of like you missed out on Dallas Goddard 898 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: or anything crazy like that, if you really need a 899 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: deep sleeper at the tight end is and I know 900 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: this is a secure start segment, so visa, I apologize, 901 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: but I still listen when it comes to finding these 902 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: kind of tight ends. James co and I were the 903 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: absolute best, and we give you our guarantee and we 904 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be me. I'm not gonna put James on this. 905 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: He can later on Twitter if he wants to, but 906 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Ian Thomas in some spots and 907 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: you can either join me or you can't, and I 908 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: won't be offended if you don't want to. But I 909 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: think that I got a feeling about him just based 910 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: on the matchup. I don't think that's terrible. I mean, 911 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: I know the the what we've seen this season, UH 912 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: is reason to maybe not have confidence. But I do 913 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: think that it's it's not a bad play this week, 914 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: especially if you're in a deeper league. Certainly maybe if 915 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: you want a DFS sort of you know, outside the 916 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: box play a little bit. I don't think that I 917 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: and Thomas calls a terrible one this week, so I 918 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: I it's like a come with me if you want 919 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: to live sort of thing. Like I'm totally down with that. 920 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Uh. Your defensive starts this week? 921 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: Which ones are they? Well, I'm gonna go with the 922 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers, and it it hurts my heart, you know. 923 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: I listen you guys now that I support my friends 924 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: down in Duval County. I've watched a e W every week. 925 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: I retweet Orange Cassidy all the time. Listen. I don't 926 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: mean to be I don't listen, but sometimes you gotta 927 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: make these business decisions. And the Jags have allowed eighteen 928 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: sacks this season. That's tied for the fifth most. They're 929 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,959 Speaker 1: turning the ball over an awful lot, and I love 930 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, But I think that they're they're needs to 931 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: be a full on rebuild in Jacksonville, and I think 932 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,280 Speaker 1: that they're they're just good enough to get them Elves 933 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: out of the Trevor Lawrence situation, which is fine. They 934 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: can draft an offensive lineman next year and be pretty 935 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: good fin the way. I'm sorry, I know we're supposed 936 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: to go to tape to tape, Am I supposed to 937 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: talk about the Bills is a team? Sure, y'all listen, Ryan, 938 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: don't don't run the tape. I'm just gonna say, Bills 939 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: are going up against the Jets. Let's cut some time. Bills. 940 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: Jets don't done. If somebody got mad and they rage 941 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: dropped the Bills because of the thing against the Chiefs, 942 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,720 Speaker 1: I understand. You can start him this week against the Jets, 943 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: start him against Adam Gates. That's what we do. And 944 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, by the way, just as a side note, 945 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 1: if you were sort of worried about Josh Allen es, 946 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: potentially Josh Allen bounce back week too, because there you go. 947 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 1: That was secure starts presented by Visa. So we've gonea starts. 948 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: Now we gotta do the sitts. Uh. The quarterback. Who 949 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 1: should we avert our gaze from this week. Well, I'm 950 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: gonna start off with Jared Goff for obvious reasons. He's 951 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: going up against the Chicago Bears, who have been the 952 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: toughest defense in the NFL this season. We saw last 953 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: week Teddy Bridgewater was pretty much doing whatever he wanted 954 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: on the football field, and the Bears knocked him off 955 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: of his game. You know what, And you know you 956 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: look at Golf. I will say this. I know that 957 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: the statistics say he's had less than fantasy fifteen fantasy 958 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: points and two out of his last three Cooper Cup 959 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: dropped two touchdowns last week, one that led to a 960 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: pick six. Golf has been playing pretty well, but I 961 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,280 Speaker 1: just don't think that you can start him with this matchup. 962 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: And I'm also worried about Drew Brees this week. He 963 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 1: is currently the QB twenty. He's had fewer than sixteen 964 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: fantasy points in three of five games and the games 965 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: that he's done well in and I think about that 966 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: Packers game. He was dumping the ball off to Alvin 967 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: Kamara who was doing all the dirty work and he 968 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: was just the benefactor of that. For the beneficiary. Now 969 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: the benefactor, beneficient, no benefact whatever, somebody Grammer nerd let 970 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: me know. Carolina, though, has allowed the fourth fewest fantasy 971 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks this season of the fourth fewest passing 972 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: yards per game. They were pretty good against Nick Voles 973 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: last week. So I'm gonna say, Drew Brees, I think 974 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: there's better options than Drew Brees. Don't go with the 975 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: brand name all the time. Yeah, I think that's a 976 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: good point. I mean, this is this has not been 977 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: a just set it forget a year for Drew Brees 978 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: running backs. The Bengals RB one seems at the top 979 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: of your list there. Yeah, he's had one good game 980 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 1: this season and everybody was like I told you this, 981 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: guys that, Like, no, listen, we've seen enough of this, Like, 982 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: and he wasn't good earlier this year. He's played the 983 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: Browns already. This is weird that the Browns Bengal series 984 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 1: is gonna be over by week seven. But he had 985 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: forty six rushing yards against him in Week two. And 986 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: now this is like the sequel to a terrible movie 987 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: we never asked for. Like did you know there was 988 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: a second deuced Bigelow European Jack? Like, why did you 989 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: make that second movie. Why am I going to start 990 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,720 Speaker 1: this player again? Why is he still on your roster? 991 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: Why do you still think he's gonna come through for you? Ever? 992 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 1: But whatever you have him, I'm listen. I don't have 993 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: him on any of my team, so it doesn't matter anyways. 994 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk about Jerick McKinnon as well. 995 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: We talked about Jamachael Hasty earlier in the show. I 996 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: still think that that would be the player that I 997 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: would want to go with out of this forty Niners backfield. 998 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 1: And of course this ends up being that Derrick McKinnon 999 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: goes for twenty fantasy points. But I look at this 1000 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: matchup against the Patriots, and the names changed for that 1001 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: defense each and every year, but they still just stopped 1002 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: running backs. They've allowed the fifth few is fantasy points 1003 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: to running backs this season. Speaking of sequels, you know 1004 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: they're still making Trimmers sequels like Michael gross top and 1005 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: I guess them, I guess the family ties checks aren't 1006 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: rolling in quite as much. So he's still making Trimmer sequels, 1007 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: So you know that's the thing. Was Reba she's still 1008 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: doing it? Or did she think I think she've tapped out? 1009 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: I think she tapped out on the Yeah, yeah, she 1010 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: she they had they had fred Ward. Is he still 1011 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 1: doing it? Uh? No, I think pretty much. Uh. I think. 1012 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 1: I think Michael Gross is kind of the only one 1013 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 1: from the movie original movies still doing this thing. They 1014 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 1: couldn't get Bacon in on that. What about? What is 1015 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: what is Finn Carter doing that she couldn't go I 1016 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: can make that movie. By the way, I'm not going 1017 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 1: to give it enough respect for knowing the name of 1018 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: that actress who was the lead in that movie. You guys, 1019 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: you really should because I was impressive. That was very 1020 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: impressive because I had no idea I was with you 1021 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: on Reba and Bacon. I never would have got and 1022 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: you can see I I have no I'm not looking 1023 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: at a phone or anything. Just the top of mind 1024 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 1: I was. That was like right off the domes. That's 1025 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: that's very impressive. Which wide receivers are not going to 1026 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: be impressive this week. I want to go to commercial 1027 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: because I thought that was that. No. By the way, 1028 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about Tyler Lockett, who has not been playing 1029 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: very well since Week four. He's the average just over 1030 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: seven Fantasy points per game. He's had fewer than nine 1031 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: in back to back games. Arizona has been pretty good 1032 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: against the posing wide receivers this season, and I think 1033 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: what we're really seeing is the ascension of DK Metcalf, 1034 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: Like this is this if this was a tag team, 1035 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: we would be at the end of DK Metcalf's career 1036 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: where he would super kick Tyler Lockett and throw him 1037 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: through the barbershop window as he's ready to become a 1038 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: fantasy superstar. And somebody who I thought was gonna be 1039 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,919 Speaker 1: a fantasy superstar was d J Moore and he's had 1040 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points and only one game this season, only 1041 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: one touchdown this season, and the matchup isn't great because 1042 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: the scenes have allowed the fewest receptions per game to 1043 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers this season, just under nine. But watching him 1044 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 1: last week against the Bears, he dropped a lot of 1045 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: catchable passes. He had one that could have possibly put 1046 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: them in a position to tie that game and could 1047 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: not come up with it. So I I just wasn't, yeah, 1048 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: that's it right there, Like I, that's a tough catch, 1049 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: but that's a catch an NFL receiver should be making. 1050 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: So until I see more out of him, pun and 1051 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: pun not intended but now in retrospect pun intended, I 1052 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 1: can't start him. It has been a frustrating year for 1053 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: d J. Moore. Robby Anderson has pretty much come in 1054 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: and replaced him essentially in that offense. Didn't didn't really 1055 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 1: see that one coming. Uh, tight Ends? Who are you 1056 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: not big on this week? Hayden Hurst? I know a 1057 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: lot of people were really excited about him coming into 1058 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: the season, hoping that he could kind of replicate what 1059 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: Austin Hooper had done with that team, but it just 1060 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 1: hasn't happened. He was He's had less than five targets 1061 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,800 Speaker 1: and four consecutive games, he's averaging just under ten fantasy 1062 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: points per games, and the Lions, the Detroit Lions have 1063 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: allowed the second fewest fantasy points per game two tight 1064 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 1: ends this season, So I'm gonna leave him on the bench. 1065 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: I've also got to leave Jared Cook on the bench, 1066 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 1: probably like He also has scored less than ten fantasy 1067 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: points and two out of his last three games. His 1068 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: average on the course of the season is less than 1069 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: ten per game, and the Carolina Panthers have allowed the 1070 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: fifth fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends. I 1071 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 1: know yesterday or yesterday Sunday they gave up a touchdown 1072 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: to cam Et the Mighty Met, but they've been pretty 1073 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 1: tough on tight end this season. Did she just refer 1074 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: to Coal Commit as a radio station, Dude, k m 1075 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 1: e T Yeah, that was. That was a big station 1076 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: out here in southern californ I'm a raid. I'm an 1077 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 1: l a radio junkie, so I always so when it's 1078 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: the Mighty Met. When he was playing at Notre Dame, 1079 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: that's all I could talk about. My friends who are 1080 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: Chicago guys watching Notre Dame games, be like, dude, k 1081 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: m et his numbers should be ninety four because it 1082 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,439 Speaker 1: was point seven. There'll be some kid out here, Kid, 1083 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 1: There'll be some boomer out here who will be like, hey, 1084 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 1: I remember that station. BRO used to listen because my sisters, 1085 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: who are much older than me, I used to love 1086 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: that station and I would listen to whatever whatever heavy 1087 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 1: rock bands like Kiss and bands like that. So, yeah, 1088 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: there it is. That was too far, So don't start, 1089 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: Jared Cook, I think, is what I'm trying to say. 1090 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 1: That's gonna stick with me now for probably the rest 1091 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: of the season. Uh real quick. A couple of defenses 1092 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: for people to avoid this one. Oh my gosh, I 1093 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: keep I keep forgetting, I forget. We should do kicks, 1094 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: by the way, the fact that I can't, but Rodrigo 1095 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 1: blanket chips on a bike. So it doesn't matter. I'm 1096 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: not starting the Broncos defense this week, and it should 1097 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,320 Speaker 1: go without saying because they're playing the Kansas City Chiefs, 1098 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 1: so of course if you had picked them up in 1099 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: recent weeks and been playing them, you might want to 1100 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: get them back on your bench. Well, they're playing the 1101 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: Patriots last week, so she probably didn't have them. We 1102 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:21,360 Speaker 1: also don't like the Houston Texans because apparently Bill O'Brien 1103 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 1: being fired was great for Deshaun Watson and the offense. 1104 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: The defense was like they've they've known no difference there. 1105 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: They're like whatever, Now you've got Aaron Rodgers who was embarrassed, 1106 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: and even me like, who thinks that Aaron Rodgers peaked 1107 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: in high school? He's gonna go out there and put 1108 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 1: forty points up on the on the Texans. So don't 1109 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 1: even don't even think about it, don't even don't look 1110 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: at what the Buccaneers did last week and be like, dude, 1111 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,360 Speaker 1: could they know they can't they won't do not start 1112 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans the you're I mean the Texans defense. 1113 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 1: It's similar to your argument about the Falcons offense. I 1114 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 1: mean Bill O'Brien being like go that that did impact 1115 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 1: the offense because he was the play caller in the 1116 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,919 Speaker 1: o C basics. But uh, you know, just like Dirk 1117 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: Cutter is still there in Atlanta, that's gonna impact the 1118 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: Falcons offense. The defensive coordinator side hasn't changed a whole 1119 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 1: lot in Houston, so that's not going to change that 1120 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: part of it either.

What the impact of Clyde Edwards, 1137 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: Hilaire and Levan Bell, that situation going on and to 1138 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,720 Speaker 1: and all this stuff.

So if you think 1143 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm sort of unhinged here, like it's it's almost thirty 1144 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: minutes of me talking about the rock in sant Andreas 1145 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 1: with a little bit of fantasy football mixed in.

It's a fun it's a fun show. 1147 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: We uh we uh, we got the rundown working on 1148 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: right now. We're gonna have some high We're gonna do 1149 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of a hype train. Now we're kind 1150 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: of stealing your thing, Marcus. Maybe we should bring you 1151 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,760 Speaker 1: on to do a little hype train stuff as well. 1152 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: But I want Floria to hype up some players. I 1153 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 1: want him to get hyped. I want him to spit 1154 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: some rhymes, you know, wearing a floral shirt and doing 1155 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But that's neither here nor there. But 1156 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: please tune in. That was probably not the best endorsement 1157 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 1: for it, but Kimmy's delightful, Florio is amazing, and then 1158 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 1: it's just you know me, but the other two awesome. 1159 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: If you want more takes on sant Andrea's versus Skyscraper. 1160 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a perfect place to go. There's no 1161 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,879 Speaker 1: doubt about it. All right, some wire taps, some guys 1162 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 1: you may have gotten off the waiver wire in this 1163 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: past week, and whether or not you're going to start 1164 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 1: them this week. So first off, Tim Patrick, He's played 1165 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 1: very well the last couple of weeks for the Denver Broncos. 1166 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 1: He's got the Chiefs whose defense has been pretty tough 1167 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 1: on wide receivers. But if you got Tim Patrick, would 1168 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 1: you give him a go? I believe with some of 1169 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 1: the wide receivers that are on a by this week 1170 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: because we won't have Adam Feeling, we won't have Justin 1171 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,360 Speaker 1: Jefferson I know that's from two guys. Uh Davante Parker's 1172 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: not playing this week, so if you pick them up 1173 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: as a need type player, I'm not. I'm not really 1174 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: scared of this matchup. I'm more worried about Jerry Judy 1175 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: because he hasn't consistently put up the points. Jerry Judy 1176 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: hasn't had more than sixty five receiving yards in a game, 1177 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 1: whereas Tim Patrick, as you see right there, has consistently 1178 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: put up over fourteen Fantasy points. I do believe that 1179 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: he'll have a chance to get double digits in this one. 1180 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,719 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are coming off a big win on a 1181 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 1: Monday night. They might have a little bit of a letdown, 1182 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 1: and now that Drew Lock is back, I would I 1183 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: actually don't hate starting Tim Patrick this week. I feel 1184 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: like he's been more of the kind of do it 1185 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: all receiver. They get the ball to Judy, but I 1186 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: think they're using him very much as a deep threat 1187 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,240 Speaker 1: to kind of stretch the field a little bit. Patrick's 1188 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 1: that guy who was is kind of doing a lot 1189 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 1: of the dirty work there. So I think the targets 1190 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 1: are going to be there. The matchup is not great, 1191 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: but I think the target share sort of makes up 1192 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: for it. So that's the reason that I consider giving 1193 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,439 Speaker 1: him a start. That's a great movie, by the way, 1194 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: Dirty work. Yeah, Nor McDonald, Nor McDonald and Dave Chappelle absolutely, 1195 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, hey, hey there Beard, you know all that stuff. Sorry? Yeah, uh. 1196 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 1: Kilan Cole who very quietly is leading all the Jaguars 1197 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,400 Speaker 1: receivers and Fantasy points this year. He's got the Chargers again. 1198 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: Maybe not the best matchup, but would you start kealing Cole? Now? 1199 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 1: I think this matchup is okay. I think that they 1200 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 1: can be in a situation where they have to throw 1201 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 1: the ball and awful lot. And Keelan Cole has been 1202 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: the guy that we kind of wish that DJ Chark 1203 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,959 Speaker 1: was going to be this season. He's been the most 1204 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: consistent guy. Fifteen Fantasy points into obviously right there, two 1205 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: straight games. So I do like it. I don't. I 1206 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,240 Speaker 1: think this is a pretty good one. I got Gardner 1207 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: in a couple of spots. You know, I've been rotating 1208 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 1: Gardner and Jared Goff in a lot of places, and 1209 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: this is my Gardener game going up against the Chargers. 1210 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 1: That you can they that defense should be better. I 1211 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get to the quarterback. I'm obviously I 1212 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,960 Speaker 1: have them as a start because they're gonna get some sacks. 1213 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 1: But I think there's gonna be a lot of there's 1214 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of situational throwing in that second 1215 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 1: half of that game. So I kind of like Keilyn 1216 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: Cole this week as well. I do. I do too. 1217 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 1: I think he's a flex for me probably this week, 1218 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: but I think the opportunity is going to be there 1219 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: because the Chargers will put up some points. Here's the thing. 1220 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 1: The thing about Charger games is that they're always gonna 1221 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,919 Speaker 1: come down to the end. Uh so very well could 1222 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: be that, you know, Gardner Minshew has the ball in 1223 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: his hands with a chance to sort of drive the 1224 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars to a win at the end. But I think 1225 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: that works out well for Cole. I think he's gonna 1226 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: get a chance to catch some passes. Last one, Teddy Bridgewater, 1227 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: you actually had Drew Brees as a sit not a 1228 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: surprise considering the way the Panther's past defense has been 1229 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: but the but the Saints past defense has not been great. 1230 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 1: Would you, if you picked up Teddy B consider streaming 1231 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 1: him this week? No, I would stream him. I think 1232 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 1: this is a pretty good opportunity for him. I know, 1233 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 1: we don't really have that big and need at quarterback 1234 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: this week. When you look at the buys, it's not 1235 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 1: like two weeks ago or when Rogers was out or 1236 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 1: anything like that, and we had to like really scramble 1237 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: for a quarterback, even justin Herbert being back. So I 1238 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: think with all that, like a lot of us were 1239 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 1: probably only starting Kirk Cousins last week because a better 1240 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: quarterback was on a buy. So I'm not sure that 1241 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,320 Speaker 1: you need to start Teddy Bridgewater. But if you do, 1242 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 1: I like the matchup. I have Teddy as part as 1243 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: one of my sis. You know, I want to let 1244 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: you know that the matchup is good. I think again, 1245 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,000 Speaker 1: it's a revenge game, a Teddy be revenge game. You 1246 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 1: gotta play him. So, yes, if you need a quarterback 1247 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: this week, for whatever reason, you had Ryan Fitzpatrick. I 1248 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 1: know a lot of people might have had Ryan Fitbe. 1249 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: There's the guy I knew there had to be one person. 1250 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I would play him. I would definitely put 1251 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: him on the plus side. He's I always trying to 1252 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,040 Speaker 1: look at you know, are you on the which side 1253 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: of the of the of the fifteen. Are you Are 1254 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: you a top fifteen quarterback or a second fifteen quarterback. 1255 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 1: I think he's a top fifteen quarterback this week. I 1256 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: think the Ryan Fitzpatrick scenario was the one that was 1257 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: in my head. If you got if you had fits 1258 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: this week, if you had if you've been starting him 1259 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and Teddy I think is 1260 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,800 Speaker 1: an inadequate replacement. A couple weeks ago, we when you 1261 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 1: suggested streaming him against the Falcons, he got you twenty points. 1262 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 1: He actually got you even more than that the week 1263 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 1: before against the Cardinals. So when the matchup is right, Uh, 1264 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 1: Teddy's not a bad quarterback to play. I didn't even 1265 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: think about the revenge game aspect of it. So yeah, 1266 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: stream Teddy Bridgewater. Stream Teddy Bridgewater this week. I think 1267 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: that's a pretty awesome play. The only one that doesn't 1268 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 1: work for is Jimmy Garoppolo. I'm not starting him no, 1269 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: because I feel like Belichick is gonna get the revenge 1270 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: on that side, because that's just that's just what he does. 1271 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: So all right, in the mean time for us, that 1272 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging out 1273 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 1: with the NFL fantasy football show presented by Draft Kings. 1274 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: You know that real tell to friends, to tell to friends. 1275 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Rate review and remember, if you think air is free, 1276 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 1: you've never bought a bag of chips.
