1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Wow, what's up everybody. Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and your man named

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: g Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones.

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: I've learned something in the last several minutes before we

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: started the show today. We have been saying berg Fest

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: for Wednesday. I've been told via our producer Hythan Kalani.

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Now he minij you. He just googled it, which is

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 2: something we probably could have done.

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Mouch a bird fight right that Apparently the German word

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: for Wednesday is like midwalk mitwalk, and berg Fest just

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: means mountain festival. So we've been led astray.

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: All right, thanks chat for saying that in the comments

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 3: and making me think that Wednesday is burfast.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: At least it wasn't something vulgar that we've been seeing

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: on air, like mountains I like to think of Germany.

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: They're just like, why are these guys celebrating the mountains

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: midle of the week?

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Still it anyway, we are gonna be looking ahead to

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: the weekend here on this show today, we've got your

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: starts and sits for your playoff semi finals. Well dive

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: into these Sunday night and Monday night games, plus some

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: bold predictions, and we're gonna ask cam Wolf if he

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: thinks the Raiders can crack the Houston Texans defense. But first,

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: as always, got our starts and sins. You can read

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Michael f. Florio's column at NFL dot com slash Start.

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: Sit getting done at the Anni. Look one more of

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: them left after this? Right? That's badly, yeah, aadly it's

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: flown by. Its absolutely flown by.

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: But let's look at the quarterbacks. Who was on your

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: start list? Who is on your sit list?

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: Marcus? I d the article, I quote you, and as

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Marcus likes to say, and forget it like he's must started.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: He gets the Bengals next week. Great matchup this week.

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: I really like Jared Goff, who, just like Jamison Williams,

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: is excelling with Dan Campbell as a play caller. He's

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: averaging nineteen Fantasy points per game since Campbell has taken

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: over Jordan Love. Look, I like the matchup. The style

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: of defense the Bears run is one that is favorable

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: for Jordan Love and this worked two weeks ago. So

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: let's running back and then Bryce Young Because as we

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: as you said last week, Marcus and we talked a

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: lot about this week, like play people against, play your

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: quarterbacks against the Bucks, and then the sis Jackson Dart

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: pains me. But the Vikings have been elite. They've allowed

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: one passing touchdown since Week ten. Trevor Lawrence just because

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: of the Broncos matchup, I know he was awesome last

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: week and then Caleb, Like I have Caleb in the league,

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm playing Brock Purdy over him. I just don't feel

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: great about getting Caleb in this week.

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: In this man, I feel like Caleb is gonna be like,

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: you won't be terrible, but it's just gonna be kind

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: of mid. Like you're gonna get fifteen sixteen points. Yeah,

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna feel great about it, you know. Do

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: or Dies He me final like you need that twenty burger.

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: You need something big, right, likes like sixteen. Getting sixteen

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: points from him in like week twelve be like okay, whatever,

58
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, we.

59
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: Just move on on to next week. But that's not

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: the case. That's not no.

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: It's just not ask you about Bryce Young because he's

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: been sort of hard to figure out.

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: But this matchup is just it feels like it's too

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: good to ignore.

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those matchups you just hope that

66
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: he just goes in. He's locked in. He can go

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: against a Bucks defense that allow a ton of fantasy

68
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 3: points to the quarterback position. Plus maybe he can get

69
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: in and out of the pocket, because we know Bryce

70
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: has some wheels. He's like sneaky and being able to

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: get out of the pocket and get a field.

72
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: And you look at the Bucks.

73
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: They're allowing the second most rushing yards to the quarterback position,

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: and hey, everybody in the South is getting a rushing touchdown.

75
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: Pannix has one two. I mean, looking at the opportunity,

76
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: I think Bryce Young really shows up this week and

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: really make fantasy and managers love him this way.

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Let us love you Bryce, please.

79
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: It would have been something if Kirk Cousins had a

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown against them.

81
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be pretty embarrassing the Bucks, like, come on,

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: you got Kirk in the end zone. Come on, Shan,

83
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: you can't have Kirk Captain Kirk running it up on you.

84
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: That's that's no good. He Kirk Cousins definitely cannot run.

85
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: What'd you run a five to six? Kirk?

86
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: I could definitely beat Kirk Cousins. I could beat Kirk

87
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: Cousins and some Cohles Khakis.

88
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: I have zero row down.

89
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: You like Coles Khakis and church shoes. You can beat

90
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: And that's probably how he shows up to run the

92
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: forty as well.

93
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, let's invite Kirk to the fantasy

94
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: what is it called the combo?

95
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: There we go.

96
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 3: I think we should get that going very soon to

97
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: start doing some invites.

98
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like he's not showing up for that.

99
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: That's just my thought. Anyway, Let's go to the running backs.

100
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: Who are you starting? Who are you sitting?

101
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: This week? Bucky Irving he went for a buck eighty

102
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: and both matchups against the Panthers last year and the

103
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: Panthers remember early in the year, we were like, it's

104
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: not the same old Panther run defense. It's the same

105
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: run defense. Rico Dowdell, I know before thereby when Chewba

106
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Hubbard was so involved, they got a little scary. But

107
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Rico was the lead RB again last week. Aaron Jones,

108
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 2: just because the Giants I think are the best matchup

109
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 2: for running backs right now. And then Quinn Shawn Judkins

110
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: I'm afraid of him getting game scripted a little bit,

111
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: but he's been getting more passes, doing Sam's and being

112
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: up in the air is low key huge for Judkins

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: as well. And then the sis Ashton Genty. I don't

114
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: want to trust that Raiders offense if I don't have to.

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Tony Pollack's been running really hot, but the Chiefs are

116
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: a tough matchup, and then Kareem Hunt if it's not

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: Rashie Rice or Travis Kelce. I have no interest in

118
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: any g Neshtin. Gent's an interesting one. I think heading

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: toward next year. This year we sort of know what

120
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be, right, Yeah.

121
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Next year is gonna be interesting because I think everybody

122
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: was way too high on him this year. It feels

123
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: like everybody's gonna over correct and go way too low

124
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: on him next year.

125
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: It also depends on like who's their coach, who's their quarterback.

126
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Guy they add additions to the line. I mean that's

127
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: the most important part. And again I like Gino, but

128
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: do they have a quarterback next year as well? Like

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: that's something that we need, I mean talk about best

130
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: quarterback they have is an ownership.

131
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: Coming out of easier comeback for the final two games,

132
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: just for fun.

133
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: He's up here talking about like, if Philip Rivers can

134
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: do it, I can do it. Lit show us, man,

135
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, put come it on.

136
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: He confidently said he could still be a starter at

137
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: forty eight, and I'm not doubting him.

138
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean, like you you write checks for a team

139
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: with quarterback issues, like if you really feel like you

140
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: can be that dude, beat that dude, like you know,

141
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: let me see.

142
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: He could air it out more than Rivers easily. Oh yeah,

143
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: well he got more behind that old line. This raiders

144
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: little reason he's not doing it. If they had a

145
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: good old line. I think I think Brady would be like,

146
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll suit him up. Why why not I.

147
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Get a couple of drives in if it happens. You know,

148
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: people are going to be just insane about brock Bottles.

149
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: I guess it's gonna be to the moon.

150
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Anyway, back to the running backs here, Ricodowdell, I don't

151
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: really know what you're gonna say, but I feel like

152
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: the words snip snapstip snapp are going to be involved

153
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: in it.

154
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 3: It could be, but I'm looking at it last week

155
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: where like his fantasy day was saved by a first

156
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: quarter touchdown, and I think when you look at the

157
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: rest of the game those three quarters outside of the

158
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 3: first quarter, it kind of was like Chuba Hubber is

159
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: still involved heavily in this backfield, and neither one of

160
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: them were served after that, I mean single digit fantasy

161
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: points in those three quarters. So I look at this

162
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: is where we still don't have the answer if Rico

163
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: Dado is going to take majority of these touches and

164
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: actually do something fantasy relevant with it. There's rushing touchdown

165
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: upside this week against the Bucks, but who's to say

166
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: that Tuba doesn't step in and get involved in the

167
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 3: passing game like he's been these last couple of weeks.

168
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: Like neither one of them have been great on the

169
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: ground efficiency wise. So I'm really really cautious about giving

170
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: people advice of saying, yeah, Rico's the majority back back

171
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 3: in that backfield. He's the guy that you can rely

172
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: on as in RB two in the past of what

173
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: we've seen hit those fantasy highs. So I'm just a

174
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: little bit cautious. I'm still side eye in this backfield,

175
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: but more so you're just hoping and praying that he

176
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: gets in the end zone.

177
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: Like he did last week.

178
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: This has become a true like hot hand backfield right now, because.

179
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: Wasn't it always like that?

180
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: Though, Like I feel like that's what it was in

181
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: the beginning the season where they were kind of just

182
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: sprinkling in Rico and then when Rico kind of took

183
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: over the stretch where Rico took over and oh yeah,

184
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: of course we remember that stretch. But in the beginning

185
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: of the season it was like Cuba is still the guy,

186
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: the guy that we drafted, and Rico just came out

187
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 3: of nowhere.

188
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

189
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean you look at the last couple

190
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: of weeks now, like their usage, their carrier, it's all

191
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: about the same, and even like the targets are the same.

192
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: I remember looking at him like, Okay, well who's guy's

193
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: catching the football.

194
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, well they they both. That is the secret

195
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: ingredient because the Bucks have been abysmal all year against

196
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: past catching back.

197
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like they're both getting about the same

198
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: number of targets.

199
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: It just really is hard. I wrote Rico as a start,

200
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: and then I was also called Chuba's sleeper. I was like,

201
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: if you if you're going a little bit deeper, like

202
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: in the blurb about Rico, I'm like, you could also

203
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: plug in Cuba here, right, Like this is what this is.

204
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: When it's not very often when I'm like, okay, we

205
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: should just play team positions, like I just, you know,

206
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: can I just plug in Panthers running back?

207
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: This have a league that does that for kickers of

208
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: all kind of like to do it?

209
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: How many teams rotate kickers like it's just you're the

210
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: kicker for the day. I mean, look, trust me, Niner

211
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: fans would have wanted to pun Jake Moody in the

212
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: middle of a lot of games, but like that was it.

213
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: He was their kicker for the day and you just

214
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: dealt with it. Like that's all I know. Anyway, we

215
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: got a lot's left to do here on the show,

216
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into the Sunday night game between the

217
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Ravens and figure out which Patriots wide

218
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: receiver we might have an interest in. That and a

219
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: whole lot more coming up on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

220
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Time to check out the first.

221
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: To score odds for the Sunday night game between the

222
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Ravens. For that one, Dereck Henry with

223
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: the best odds guy who's picked it up later in

224
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: the season, Travion Henderson following not too far behind, Yeah,

225
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, and then Zay Flowers, Romandre Stevenson, who just

226
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: keeps turning up like a bad penny, can't go away

227
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: in an office. He is the fifth of the five

228
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: names here on the board. I'll aska you of you guys,

229
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Lakwan started with you. Who is who do you like

230
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: the most on that board? Or is there somebody else

231
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: maybe Trayvon Henderson. I mean, hands down, we're all fans here.

232
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: We want him to take it to the house and

233
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: be the first one to put.

234
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: Up the board.

235
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, he's probably going to be a league

236
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: winner for a lot of folks. So Trayvon Henderson from

237
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: from the forty yard line of his own, you've.

238
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Been seeing Travion all year. I'm guessing your state.

239
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't wrong either in the beginning of the year.

241
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: None of us were wrong. Mike ray Roll and Josh

242
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: McDaniel were wrong because he's clearly in the superior back.

243
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: Please tell me he's not, says he.

244
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: I do love how fantasy folks were like we had

245
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: this right, Like, yeah, glad.

246
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: You guys caught up. Yeah, exactly, Thanks for catching up

247
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: on this one.

248
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's Travion, although I'm surprised that Drake

249
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: May wasn't on there just.

250
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: Because yeah, yeah, you know, and Lamar and Lamar J.

251
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: There you have.

252
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: You have two mobile quarterbacks. Yeah, one of them showed

253
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: up on this list.

254
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: So that's just a little bit weird.

255
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: As for the game itself, of course, you can see

256
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: that Sunday night on the national broadcasting channel laquant. If

257
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: you're going to pick one, just one Patriots wide receiver

258
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: to start from this game, who would it be?

259
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: Can? I? Can? I pick nobody?

260
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Because have you seen the game logs for any of

261
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: the wide receivers in the last three weeks? Single digit

262
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: Fantasy points for all of them, and it's like you

263
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: have Stefan Dick's playing less than fifty percent of snaps.

264
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: Why then you have Kayshawn Boody that catches a deep

265
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: pass every other.

266
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: Game, that's cool.

267
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: And then you have Mac Collins leading this wide receiver

268
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: room with a thirty two percent target share, doing absolutely

269
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: nothing with it in fantasy. And I think the only

270
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: pass catcher you can trust is Hunter Henry where he's

271
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: been the guy that's been reliable. I know he disappeared

272
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 3: last week, but he's the guy that's been getting the yards.

273
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: He's the only one that's averaging more than thirty five

274
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: yards per game in the last three weeks. So I

275
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: look at this if I have other options I can

276
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: pivot to. I do not feel good about any Patriots

277
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: wide receiver this week.

278
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: I had the Patriots game on last week and Kayshawn

279
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: Booty made a play in the announcers said his name,

280
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: and my wife happened to be walking by.

281
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: She's like, what is that man's name? Also, that catch

282
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: hit the turf, they're saying that hit the turf. But

283
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: I did love Patriots fans being like, what happened? Where

284
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: is Steph Diggs in this big game? Why is he

285
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: not out there? And it's like this is what Bills fans?

286
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it. I love him. But

287
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: he tended to shy away in contact in the games.

288
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was kind of Homer Simpson this sort of thing.

289
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: And those games you saw on that list of first

290
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: touchdown odds, Mark Andrews made the list last week. A

291
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of people be included thought Isaiah likely would be

292
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: an interesting start, and he included he got the same

293
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: number of targets as all three of us sitting here. Hey,

294
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: can you start a Raven side in this week?

295
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: Michael? I think it's kind of similar to last week,

296
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: but just not as good of a matchup, right, Like,

297
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: I think Mark Andrews is the touchdown bet like that

298
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: he is always going to bring the higher touchdown chances

299
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: of the two of them because that is where he

300
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: gets utilized the most. But I know he didn't have

301
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: a target last week. I still think Isaiah likely is

302
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: in play as a sleeper here because he is more

303
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: of the chain mover, the yards guy. The thing about

304
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: last week is the Ravens blew them out from the

305
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: jump are through twelve passes. I don't think it's it's

306
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: fair to be like these guys stink or something like that.

307
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: You need chances. Half of those passes went to say

308
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: Flowers too, So like, yeah, I think they're not I'm

309
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: not like pounding the table like I was a week

310
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: ago for them, but I do think they're both in

311
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: play as like streaming tight ends.

312
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just been so weird trying to peg the

313
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens passing games because you know, either they're low volume,

314
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: most of the throwers are going to say Flowers.

315
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean you look at his target share.

316
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's he's well above the target's reception yards,

317
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: well above the second place on that scene.

318
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: But he doesn't get touchdowns. Makes him annoying. Right, Just

319
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: on top of it all, we're dealing with the yearly

320
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: Lamar illness, Like every December, like clockwork, this guy gets sick.

321
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: I just need your vitamins.

322
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: He's a Miami dude in the coal like built, so

323
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: we send him some emergency, get him some ginger.

324
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Why?

325
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: How does this happen every single year? I mean you

326
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: guys surprised that the Ravens are favorites in this game.

327
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: No, that is kind of weird though, right because you

328
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: have the fake campaign of the MVP race with Drake.

329
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: May mean the campaign is real, it is fake anyway,

330
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: Look the schedule, like, like I know, we've talked about

331
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: it a lot. They're not beating these allegations because you

332
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: had the Bengals without Burrow and Chase. Now you're getting

333
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: a sick Lamar and then you get Brady Cook and

334
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: Quinn Ewers to end this season like everything has just

335
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: worked out. It's not the Patriots fault, don't get me wrong,

336
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: but I've never seen a schedule break this way for

337
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: one team.

338
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: Everything is coming up Millhouse for the evand Patriots. Monday

339
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Night football from Indianapolis, the forty nine Ers taking on

340
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. You can see that game at eight

341
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: fifteen pm Eastern on Espen ABCA and Espen de Portas.

342
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: The Niners starting to get hot later in the season,

343
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: much of the chagrin of Won Lakwan Jones, so we

344
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: will ask this question of Michael f Florio instead. Rock

345
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: perty has been playing some good football. The Colts still

346
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: have been I would say kind of middle of the pack,

347
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit blow average against quarterbacks. Would you

348
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: start Rock Purty in this situation?

349
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: I am like I have him in the league myself

350
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: where I'm playing him over Caleb, like I said, But yeah,

351
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: not only is Purty I would say, the healthiest he's

352
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: probably been since what Week one? But now he's got

353
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: to see him see healthy, and Kittle and Jennings and

354
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: pearsall's getting involved and like they really didn't have all

355
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: of this cast of characters for much of the year.

356
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: On top of that, the Colts, like you said, like

357
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: they're not the best matchup, but without Sauce Gardner, they

358
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: are definitely a team that can be you could throw against.

359
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: So plus Perdy adds a little bit of sneaky value

360
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: with his legs, Like he's not gonna run for fifty

361
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: or something like that, but he could get you like

362
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: twenty rushing yards. So I do like Purty a good amount.

363
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: And then he'll do the dougie after he scores a touchdown.

364
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: Tool that was clean. Yeah, Con doesn't want to give

365
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: it credit, but we know he liked you know he did.

366
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: Didn't see it, you know, didn't see it. Yes, yes

367
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: you did tasting about it. You are more online than

368
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: all of absolutely saw for sure.

369
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: On the other side, So I asked you this about

370
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I'll ask you this about the Colts. Pick

371
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: one one Colts wide receiver that you would start. I

372
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: have one in mind, by the way.

373
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm just curious what your thoughts were.

374
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: I did too, And like with Rivers last week, I mean,

375
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: we didn't see a lot of deep downfield shots, like

376
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: so Pittman takes a hit, Josh downs seems to be

377
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: his security blanket, Like I know we want Tyler Warren

378
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: to be there, but Josh Downs finding the end zone

379
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: last week's great. And I said that, you know on

380
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: last week's episode that Josh Downs could be a sneaky

381
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: fourteen sixteen league Fleck Scott because being that he plays

382
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: that underneath and he could be a security blanket for

383
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: Rivers where he only had two passes completed over ten

384
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: yards last week. So I think that's kind of what

385
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: the war of this offense is going to look like.

386
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: We're and the ball off the JT check it down,

387
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: Where's Josh Downs? I think that's kind of where we're

388
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: looking at where Josh Downs ends up being like one

389
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: of those guys that you desperately need somebody to put

390
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: into your flex.

391
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: He could be there on the way to.

392
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: Wire for it. Yeah, Josh Downs was the name I

393
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: was thinking of. But I also think the ceiling is

394
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: going to be kind of limited on him.

395
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: Just what you may last week.

396
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: I think it's four point four yards per attempt for

397
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers.

398
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: That great? Do you think we see all eleven defenders

399
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: in front of the sticks, Like that's what I would do,

400
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: right I dare you to throw it out? Man, Like

401
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: you can't throw it far.

402
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to stop Jonathan Taylor. That's job number one, right,

403
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Slow down, Jonathan Taylor. I don't trust that Philip Rivers

404
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: is going to be able to beat me deep right now,

405
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Like you know, I think that's what it is.

406
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.

407
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: I think Josh Downs, if there is one, he is

408
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: the one I'm gonna see.

409
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: They open the window for for Ar Anthony Richardson. I'm excited.

410
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you've been a fan since day one, so

411
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: I know you're really happy I have him. I've stashed

412
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: him in the Super Flex League all year, like in

413
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: my ir spot, Wow, I lost my homes last week.

414
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm using Bryce Dedication. It could line up perfect because

415
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: Bryce Young get Seattle next week. I'm like, no, if

416
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: AR starts next week, I'm playing them.

417
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: The problem for the Colts is like, you're still kind

418
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: of in the playoff, and I don't think you want

419
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: to showcase Anthony Richardson, right.

420
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard, why is he not there? Well, they're gonna

421
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: play Richardson over Leonard. You're gonna play Richardson over. He's

422
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: a top five pick.

423
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna play Richard because if nothing else, you

424
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: showcase him potentially as trade bait for something else. If

425
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: you're done, if you decide you don't want him there,

426
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: play him, try to get some good tape out there,

427
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: and then see if you can swap him for somebody.

428
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: I was talking to a friend of mine who's a

429
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: big Notre Dame fan last night, and he was like,

430
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: he struggles to throw deep, but unlike Philip Rivers, he

431
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: can't get through progressions quickly.

432
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, designs that, how'd you like

433
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: to play missus Lincoln?

434
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: Great? All right? There you go with forty nine Ers

435
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 2: and Colts. Back to our starts.

436
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: In six four Week sixteen, we got some wide receivers

437
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: on tap.

438
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: Who do you like this week? Who do you not

439
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: like this week? Raci Rice? If he plays, he's in

440
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. They're saying he has a chance. I know

441
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: people are worried with no Mahomes, but I think he

442
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: is a start if he plays Michael Wilson. I don't

443
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: love that Marvin Harrison Junior's back, but I think the

444
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: matchup is favorable enough where you ride the hot hand there.

445
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams is an absolute mustart to me. He has

446
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: been bawling out since Dan Campbell took over the plays

447
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: dk metcalf because the Lions have just been cooked downfield

448
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: by wide receivers as of late, the Legion of whom

449
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: is what they're calling their secondary. And then Lad McConkie

450
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: was my Rashid Rice replacement in the article because he

451
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: gets the Cowboys right, Like, that's the only I'm not

452
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: telling you like he's been playing great or anything, but

453
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: he gets the Cowboys. And then the CITs a Mecca abuka,

454
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: not like a must sit, but I have a couple

455
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: of spots where I'm looking to get away from him.

456
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: That's how I kind of judge it by I look

457
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: at my teams, like can I sit this guy? All right? Yeah?

458
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: I think I can wandell just because the Vikings have

459
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: been elite against receivers. The last time I receiver scored

460
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: a touchdown against them was Week nine. And then Michael

461
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior. We just talked about the Colts and Deebo.

462
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: It's over for Debo. It was a fun run early

463
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: in the year, but when Terry's out there, it's really

464
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 2: hard to get too pas Catchers from Marcus Mariota.

465
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't really see that happening for

466
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, so I totally get that one there. I'm

467
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna I want to ask you about DK Metcalf because

468
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: you had some not nice things to say about him

469
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: in our text chat. But but we'll keep that in house. Basically,

470
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: my birthday doesn't mean he doesn't like DK, even though

471
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: you guys share a birthday. Were Kyle Shanahan and Kyle

472
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: Shanahan two guys who made your life miserable in the

473
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: I guess the rest at some point. Yeah, exactly what

474
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: would you guys talk about if the three of you

475
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: went out for dinner?

476
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

477
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I don't think you say that on this show.

478
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: I want not Safe for work. I think we're allowed

479
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: to say those words on this show.

480
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: Instead, I'll ask you about Jameson Williams Kyra Williams cousin.

481
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: Oh I did not know that? Yeah, first, cause I

482
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: won't lie. I found that out last week for the

483
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: first time.

484
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: I knew that last year, but it wasn't like big news,

485
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 3: so I kind of just like, oh, that's pretty cool.

486
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: I learned something new today. You would think Karen would

487
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: be faster.

488
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: Ye wrong side of the tree, buddy, you have the

489
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 5: fastest guy and then like a pretty speed hereditary necessarily

490
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 5: jameson Williams.

491
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: Like we we loved the breakout, it took a while

492
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: for it to happen. Does it continue this week?

493
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: Yeah?

494
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: This is more so of like I'm looking at him,

495
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: he could be a wide receiver one this like this

496
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: is the production that he's going to get with the

497
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 3: Steelers secondary where there's opportunities there. When we look at

498
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: the Steelers secondary, they're allowing the fifth most explosive plays

499
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 3: of fifteen plus yards to wide receivers. And everything that

500
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: we have seen from James and Williams these last couple

501
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: of weeks have been nothing but speed and explosiveness. So yeah,

502
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: Jared Golf is going to have a nice game with

503
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: James and Williams. So I see a twenty burger in

504
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: the future for him this week.

505
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: What I do love about the Lions offense is that

506
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty much a three person passing game. Right, it's

507
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: a'mon ros Saint Brown, it's Jamison Williams, it's Jamier Gibbs.

508
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: Like once Sam Laporta went down, you know, like you know,

509
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: to stop trying to fool ourselves about Khalif Raymond or

510
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: test of those guys, like like, we don't have to

511
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: pretend anymore. Man, It's just those three guys. They get

512
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: all the targets and we just go on.

513
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: I kind of love with Dan Campbell's because he's even

514
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: started using Gibbs more and like shining away from Monti

515
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: a bit. He's just like, I'm gonna put the ball

516
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: in my three best players hands as often as I can.

517
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes foosball is simple like that, you know, just give

518
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: it to your good players. I mean, you can drop

519
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things in the end, you just

520
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: get the ball to your best players.

521
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: And more often than that, Smith feels by the exact opposite. Oh,

522
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: these are your best players as decoys.

523
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean Arthur Smith, Sean Payton, all these guys who

524
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: just try to like agreeable now, I mean, geez, just

525
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: playing four D chess for no real good reason.

526
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it.

527
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Over to the tight ends, which you know is always

528
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dice roll. Who is up

529
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: who is down on the tight end position?

530
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: For you? I think Kyle Pitts has just become someone

531
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: you start with confidence, it's a good matchup. He scored

532
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: fifteen or more and three straight. He was the best

533
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: tight end of the season in any game last week,

534
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: so I think you play him. I'll take the l

535
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: on Dallas Goddard last week, but he was kind of

536
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 2: a forgotten man and then all of a sudden, seventeen

537
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: targets in the last two. But what makes the specialist

538
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 2: touchdowns and the Commanders have given up a whole bull

539
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: to tight ends. And then Darren Waller, I know it's

540
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: a quarterback change. I still think he's a streaming option.

541
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: There's a little bit more risk now, but the matchup

542
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: has him in play. And then the six Tyler Warren.

543
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: You were just saying LQ like we wanted to be him,

544
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: and they tried like Rivers throwing the ball six times

545
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: last week, but it just it hasn't really been there

546
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: the last five six weeks now for Warren Colson Loveland,

547
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: I will say I believe as of right now, the

548
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: Bears have ruled out a Doonsay and Burden. That makes

549
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: me like Loveland a whole lot more than I did

550
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: when I wrote this up on Monday, Hunter Henry, just

551
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: because the Ravens have been tough against tight ends, and

552
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: Drake May is gonna spread the ball out and annoy

553
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: as fantasy managers. And then aj Barner because I forgot

554
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: to take him off the list. He plays on Thursday.

555
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: All right, cool, So you know, if you're watching this

556
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: in the future, he could be a genius. He could

557
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: maybe have egg on his face. Who knows at this point.

558
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: But looking at the tight end position, I mean, it's

559
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: always sort of a dice roll here, right, I mean, yeah,

560
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: Dallas got her, I said, I didn't say the Dallas

561
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: got last week. I said he's a beware just because

562
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders weren't giving up a lot of production to

563
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: tight ends. But I also feel like tight ends just

564
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: weren't being used against them.

565
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of.

566
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: Probably what it was.

567
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: So like, are we in for another Dallas Goddard a

568
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: week or does the.

569
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: Ball go somewhere else?

570
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: I think it's on the table just based on what

571
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: we've seen the Eagles utilize him in striking distance. That's

572
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: really what we care about. Is this tight end going

573
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 3: to give us ten points? Is he going to get

574
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: a touchdown? And that's definitely on the table this week

575
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 3: against the Commanders where they're tied for the third most

576
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: touchdowns allowed to the tight end position, and we see

577
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: this guy when they getting striking distance, they get close,

578
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: they're willing to give him a shuffle pass, as.

579
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: We see in the b roll right now.

580
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: The time was exactly and it's crazy that they're making

581
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: him kind of a piece of this offense that we've

582
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: seen before before the aj Brown and Devonte Smith bigs

583
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: Batman and Little Batman, where Dallas guy is still out

584
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: there getting it man in back to back games, we're

585
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: getting tight in one production. I don't see why it

586
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: changes this week.

587
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just it was funny because early

588
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: in the year, when the whole tush push thing was raging,

589
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: like they actually drew up some sort of variations on

590
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: the tush push that involved like a little pitch or

591
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: a little shovel.

592
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: He stole that from the Chiefs, though, like I think

593
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: we've seen Travis Kelce do that a ton, so it's

594
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: like it's not as flashy or cool.

595
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Everybody steals from everybody. But but I guess my point

596
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: is like they kind of went away from it for

597
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: a while and now it is back.

598
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: Question Mark two of three Eagles can do well each week.

599
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of which, I guess if they

600
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: spin a wheel, I think, and they're just praying for Devant.

601
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: It is literally I would like Devontae Smith, but it

602
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: is like musical chairs and we'll.

603
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: Slid from batman to rob at this point, like he

604
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 3: is the sidekick and.

605
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: The wheel might land on him this week. Who knows,

606
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: he says all the time. The bar for tid and

607
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: success is very, very low.

608
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Kind of a weird story that popped up in fantasy

609
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: over the past week. Obviously, if you play fantasy football,

610
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: you are familiar with these stat correction that you know

611
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: every once in a while during the week, uh, the

612
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: official score will look at something and and say, you know,

613
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: we should tweak that a little bit, and it changes

614
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: fantasy scoring. This is one that I have never heard

615
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: of before. And this is a tweet from our own

616
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: Tom Pelasero. Now an official stack correction that could impact

617
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: your fantasy score from months ago. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams

618
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: is now officially credited with a fumble, a fumble recovery,

619
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: and a rush for zero yards not minus five on

620
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: the last play of the third quarter in Week six Wow,

621
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: we have gone back ten weeks. Yeah, we're going way

622
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: back back into time and we're changing stack corrections. Now, Florio,

623
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: you heard from or heard of someone because you asked

624
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: the question, did just get somebody out of the play.

625
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: I tweeted, I said, does anyone have Caleb lose Week

626
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: six by point four or less and missed the playoffs

627
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: by one game? Thinking like no one of the and

628
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: one person tweeted me and they and they sent screenshots

629
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: and they were like I did. They lost Week six

630
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: by point three. So now that extra point five gives

631
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: him the win, and the team that he beat he

632
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: was tied for for the final playoff spot. So what

633
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: his league did, and this is where you guys could

634
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 2: rule as well, they put it up to vote. They

635
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: voted him the week six. That correction team got the

636
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: win in week six, So now he became from eliminated

637
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: to the three seed. The team that lost that week

638
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: got eliminated. And then they went in and they said,

639
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: well the three seed would have played the sixth seed

640
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: and he won. So now this manager from this that

641
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 2: correction went from being eliminated to being in the semi finals.

642
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: I'm really boosting two teams out of the playoffs, like essentially,

643
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: what are we because they were like, well, the six

644
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: seeds set his lineup and I think beat what the

645
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: original three seed was. They were like, well, we voted

646
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: him now to be the three seeds, so how would

647
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: that have played out? And he beat the other guys?

648
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, I can't imagine this happened in my league.

649
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: There would be a lot of cursh words, a lot

650
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: of just diabolical things being done because week six weeks ago,

651
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: second round in.

652
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: The playoffs right now?

653
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, I feel like stat corrections at least

654
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy. Look what if if the NFL wants to

655
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: stack correct or whatever and it put it on the

656
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: fine whatever. For fantasy, it should work like a replay challenge,

657
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: right like you know, like you see teams rush up

658
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: to the line because if you snap the ball then

659
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: you just can't replay it anymore if your guy has

660
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: played another game, Like if you stack correct within the week, fine, cool, cool.

661
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: Once that player has played another game, it's done. You

662
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: can't stat correct at that point, you deely can't go

663
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: back ten weeks to do this.

664
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm curiously who's in charge of this?

665
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: That was like, let me go back ten weeks week

666
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: six why not let me go back and correct this.

667
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: If Tom doesn't tweet that out, none of us catch it,

668
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: no one knows, and his league doesn't catch it. And

669
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: but Tom tweeted it out and this I do like that.

670
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: They let the league vote on it, and it was like,

671
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna go with the majority decision. Jos was like

672
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: insane because I would have been like, no, man, like you,

673
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: it's bumped her definitely.

674
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 3: If that was one of if I can tell you

675
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: now my home league, this would not be solved at all,

676
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: Like it would just be just in the air. We

677
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: would just be going back and forth for weeks, maybe

678
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 3: ten weeks.

679
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 2: It'll be over. A butterfly effect. Is great because like

680
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: you treat the rest like if you know, each of

681
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: these teams probably do something a little bit different thinking

682
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: they're in the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a wild story.

683
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: This is a crazy fake game that we played, for sure,

684
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: very stressful, very very stressful. Time for a break, but

685
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: when we return, will play either or give you our

686
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Bowl predictions for week sixteen and have our weekly chat

687
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: with cam Wolf.

688
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: Is a little bit of either or.

689
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: I know the last few shows we've been doing the

690
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: startle meter, and like I thought about doing that, but

691
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's actually just let's just bring it boiler

692
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: down between like two guys, and you know, you have

693
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: a choice of which one of these guys you can

694
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: start with your playoffs on the line, a chance to

695
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: go to the championship week. So Floyda, I will start

696
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: with you here Caleb Williams against the Packers, where Joe

697
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: Burrow at the Dolphins. Who's been tough on quarterbacks?

698
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: They have been, but I'm still going Joe Burrow. We've

699
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: spoke a lot about how like Caleb's floors are like

700
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: kind of league losing like ten to fifteen fantasy points. Burrow,

701
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: I know, is coming off his worst game, but he's

702
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: motivated now. So I'm going with Joe b.

703
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Beasy for sure, even though he's not really

704
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: happy right now what's going on. But I do think

705
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: that he can handle Miami. Like we're looking at Miami

706
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: that just benched to it. What is the atmosphere right

707
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: now in Miami.

708
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because the vibes went from really bad

709
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: in Miami it's like kind of good to like it

710
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: felt like last week against the Steelers, they just let

711
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: go of the rope.

712
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they're like, it's it's done at this point.

713
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: Terrible.

714
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gon I'm gonna go Joe Burrow here.

715
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: You know, Caleb may keep the Bears in it, he's

716
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: not gonna necessarily keep my fantasy team in it.

717
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't believe Lakwan. I'll start with you on this one.

718
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: Your guy RJ.

719
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Harvey against the Jacksonville Jaguars or the guy on the

720
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: other side, Travis Etn against the Denver Broncos.

721
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: I text you last night like you might as well

722
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: just name this segment nasty, because this is a matchup

723
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: where you're going against the number one and number two

724
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: against the run. Like, You're not gonna really be satisfied

725
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: if you're sitting here with either one of these guys.

726
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with trams Etn just because he's healthy.

727
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: You know, you got r. J.

728
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: Harvey that says he's fine, he's dealing with a rib injury.

729
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: But traves et In to me just feels like the

730
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: safer bay here.

731
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go with Etn as well, but I

732
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: do think Arjie Harvey is also in play. This week,

733
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: like he's been getting a lot of volume. They'll throw

734
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: in him as a bit too, But I do agree.

735
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: I think ETN just feels safer here. Yeah, I'm going

736
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: with ETN.

737
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: In fact, if you watch this is if you watch

738
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live on Friday, I'm gonna tell you why

739
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: you can start.

740
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: Travis ETN and feel pretty good about it too. Yeah.

741
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: Just doing some research and you kind of come across

742
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: things you're like, oh, maybe this isn't as bad as

743
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: I thought it would be. So I'd roll with ETN

744
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: in that one, all right, Florio zay Flowers against the

745
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Patriots or Chris o'lave who is free of the satchel

746
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: of discontent against.

747
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: The he's free the New York Jetropolitans. I think both

748
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: are in play this week. But if I have to

749
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: pick one, I'm gonna go with Chris Olavey because Tyler

750
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: Schuck has been playing better ball than he gets credit for.

751
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: I know he's an o Lamar Jackson or anything like that,

752
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: but the volume just is more funneled through olave Like

753
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: there's always a chance that the Ravens just run a

754
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: ton and they could get their tight ends involved stuff.

755
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 2: Like that. So, and the Jets have just been getting

756
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: absolutely cooked on defense since the trade deadline. I'm gonna

757
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: go with love.

758
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Chris o'lave. I mean, honestly, he gives you

759
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: more stability at the position. I think Zay he could

760
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: be in play to have a good week, But I

761
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: just feel a lot more better about Chris o'lave because,

762
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: plus we like Tyler Schuck.

763
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: This week gets shucked up. I mean, I agree with

764
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: all of that.

765
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: Also the fact that the Saints are literally just running

766
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: out of people right now. I Devin Neil has been

767
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: ruled out, so they're gonna go with some combination probably

768
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: of object Estimate and Evan Hall. I guess we don't

769
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: really know, at least at this moment, what Alvin Kamara's

770
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: availability is going to be. Juwan Johnson has vanished from

771
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. It feels like, uh, you know,

772
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: it hurts. It's chrys olama or nothing right at this point.

773
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: On offense for the saying, so I would pick him

774
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: one last one, and Floyd, I'll ask you this one.

775
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey at the Tennessee Titans or Tyler Warren against

776
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine.

777
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: Ers Kelsey for me mintually through five passes last week,

778
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: but four of them went to Travis kelce and I

779
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: think he's gonna come in, especially for she Rice is out.

780
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: He might get fifteen targets in this game, just out

781
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: of necessity. And Warren, unfortunately, is someone that I'm putting

782
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: on a lot of my benches this week.

783
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Travis Kelcey for me, at least we can hope

784
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: for that. You know, Garner Minshew targets him beyond five

785
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: yards like that's kind of just where you're banking on here,

786
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: because Tyler Warren, he would need a touchdown to be

787
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: anywhere near Fantasy relevant because he doesn't have this have

788
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: the yards upside. So gimme Kelsey, I will make that

789
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: a sweep.

790
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: Go Kelsey as well.

791
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: I have a bold prediction that potentially could involve indirectly

792
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey.

793
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: You know, just I don't.

794
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: We just talked about the the Colts pass catchers and that,

795
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, beyond Josh downs and even that is sort

796
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: of limited. There's just nobody there to really get super

797
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: excited about in that Colts offense. Don't love that all right,

798
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: So you know there's the either ors or as a

799
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: lakwan and say nasty work.

800
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: Nasty work.

801
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: Second, your fantasy Hey, look man like, this is the

802
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: real stuff that folks gotta deal with. Man, times are

803
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: tough in these fantasy streets. He's a big important decision.

804
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: Get ready, it's time to get spicy with our hot

805
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: takes for the week. If we're gonna get a little

806
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: bit spicy, lakwan, what are we doing?

807
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm going with cam Ward twenty five plus

808
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 3: fantasy points.

809
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw in then you probably have two hundred and.

810
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 3: Fifty plus passing yards as well, because I watched all

811
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: fifty one drawbacks against Seattle that game where yeah, on purpose,

812
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: because I wanted to see how he ended up with

813
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: twenty three fantasy points against the Seahawks defense, and also

814
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: doing some film, you know, see what the Rams can

815
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: get up on with the Seahawks.

816
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: But I do think this is a are you Cindy

817
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: Sean McVay, like, what is happening here?

818
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm doing my best, but I'm just saying cam Ward

819
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 3: he is a guy that has been getting out of

820
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 3: the pocket a lot, and he's looked a lot better

821
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: in the.

822
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: Last couple of weeks.

823
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: So why not throw up a twenty five burger on

824
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: the Chiefs defense, who are kind of middle of the

825
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 3: pack as well, where their top ten and yards out

826
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: there to catch, and I think with him being able

827
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: to extend the place, there's opportunities for his pass catchers

828
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 3: to get up the field. And Chiefs are actually kind

829
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: of bad on third down, So for a quarterbacking to

830
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: get out of pocket and extend the place, you're seeing

831
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 3: these throws, You're seeing the opportunities. He's going downfield with

832
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 3: nothing to lose. So a twenty five burger for Camboard

833
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: this week.

834
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: Dude, I love seeing Calvin Ridley in the highlights, like,

835
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: that's how far back some of these go.

836
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: Look at that? Look at that?

837
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: And then the Rams game, man, that was an impressive

838
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 3: throw that he did make.

839
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: It was It's not one that you would suggest or

840
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: recommend to somebody, but he got away with it exactly.

841
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 3: If you go back and watch all the dropbacks in

842
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: he had a ton of those plays where he's just like,

843
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: why are you throwing across your body near the sideline

844
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: all the way across the field, Like, dude, you got

845
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: that off, but don't do that again.

846
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: You don't, right, Yeah, Floya's here your whole your bold prediction.

847
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley's best Fantasy game of the season comes this week,

848
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: So it would be thirty four more Fansta points because

849
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: he's had one thirty three point game. But I think

850
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: this is just a fantastic matchup. Since Week eleven, the

851
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: Commanders are top three and explosive run rate and yards

852
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 2: before contact, and that is the big thing. Last year's

853
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: Saquon averaged over a full yard more before contact than

854
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 2: he is this season. The Eagles O line isn't creating

855
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: the same space that it did, but in this favorable

856
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: matchup where he should have room to run, He's going

857
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: to hit a couple of home runs. I think not surprising.

858
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: I think Saquan is.

859
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: In line for a big day against the coming I

860
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: think the Eagles offense in general has a big day

861
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: against the Commanders this week. For me, So what I

862
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: wrote down is different that Gardnerman shoes. What I wrote

863
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: down to the Garnerment shoe is going to be a

864
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: top ten Fantasy quarterback this week on Fantasy Live. I

865
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: was bullied into moving that up to top seven.

866
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't have to ask who.

867
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I got, but no it's not the first of you think,

868
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: oh it really is not. No, but I was bullied

869
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: into saying top seven. So what I'm gonna say is

870
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: if it is top seven, I'm going to pretend like

871
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: I took this was completely my idea. That's what I'm

872
00:36:59,320 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna say.

873
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: Look, part of it is the Titans.

874
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, eight straight games they've allowed at least two

875
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty passing yards from a quarterback. Over those

876
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: eight games, they've given up eighteen touchdown passes with just

877
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: two interceptions.

878
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 2: So the matchup is in favor of Gardner Minshew.

879
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: The other thing that works for Minshew is we've seen

880
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: all these backup quarterbacks who've shown up just looking kind

881
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: of care free, playing with nothing to lose, playing free

882
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: and easy and lose. That's Gardner Minshew's whole thing. It's

883
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: always been Gardner Minshew's whole thing. So why can't he

884
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: come in here and be a Joe Flacco Jacobe Brissett. Yeah,

885
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: at least for a week or two, especially against a

886
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: bad defense. So Gardner Minshew, you know, if you're playing DFS,

887
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend doing this, and like, you know, to

888
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: try to get to your Fantasy Championship week. But if

889
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna play some daily fantasy or something like that,

890
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: then Gardner Minshew is very much in play.

891
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: So you go.

892
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Those are our hot Takes, presented by Frank's Red Hot Olk.

893
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: He was good to see you in studio later in

894
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: the week. We don't usually see you here. You're no

Speaker 1: you hanging out with Matte Next week, you man time

Speaker 1: Ond's again to be joined by our friend in NFL

898
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: network reporter Kim. I was gonna say, Caim ward I

899
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: was looking at something else. I got all distracted.

900
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: Cam Wolfe is the guy who's joining us. You know,

901
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: no disrespect to cam Ward, but I've done it the

902
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 2: inverse one time. I'm on a different show. I was

903
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: talking about Kim Warden and I was like, again him

904
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: wolf and I was like.

905
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: Wait, no, I'm sorry, Yeah, I love to I love

906
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 4: that cop number one overall.

907
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: Pick.

908
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: I know the year hasn't gone as great, but I'll

909
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: be cam Ward any day of the week. That's good.

910
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: It's a good, good stepping up in life for me.

911
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: Not a bad spot to me at all. Let's talk

912
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: about some other quarterback situations, because it seems like every

913
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: week we talk to you, there's like some quarterback changes, good,

914
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: bad whatever. This one afterly not a good one. Patrick

915
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes unfortunately done for the year after a knee injury.

916
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs out of the playoffs now have a lot of

917
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: questions about this Kansas City team. How different do you

918
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: expect this Chief's offense to look next year?

919
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 4: Extremely I think this will be the most extensive overhaul

920
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 4: the Chiefs will have in the Patrick Mahomes era. They

921
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 4: were already trending towards a team that knew they had

922
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 4: to function their offense differently. They've essentially doubled down and

923
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: tripled down on wide receivers that haven't really worked out

924
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 4: for the most part, and they've abandoned that running game.

925
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: And so because of that, you see Patrick Mahomes having

926
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 4: to be superhero all the time and leads to kind

927
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 4: of the injury that we saw from him last week.

928
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 4: And so I'd expect them to look vastly into running

929
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 4: back upgrades this offseason. They're gonna have to find a

930
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 4: new tight end because it sounds like we're getting closer

931
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 4: and closer to a Travis Kelsey retirement, and then how

932
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 4: do you function a little bit more on time. Seems

933
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: like their offense has become backyard football because of Travis

934
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 4: and Patrick's relationship. I think they'll have to go back

935
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 4: and maybe even add an additional coach in the building

936
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 4: to give them a little bit more structure within that offense.

937
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: And you cover the Dolphins very closely, obviously a huge

938
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone was shocked that Tua got denched.

939
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 2: I do think people were a little surprised that they're

940
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: going with quinn Ewers though, So what do you think

941
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: the Dolphins offense with yours at the helm will look like.

942
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm waiting to see what the results are. I saw

943
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 4: him in camp and there was, you know, to a

944
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 4: starter for a reason. It wasn't necessarily the best thing

945
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 4: I saw. He's a rookie, seventh round pick. I just

946
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 4: think that it's a smart move if you're gonna bench

947
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: to it, to see your young guy, see how he developed,

948
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 4: see what he can do on the field. He did

949
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 4: have a small spurt against Cleveland, as we're seeing here

950
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: laden garbage time, he played solid. He's kind of got

951
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 4: a gamer mantra from the coaches here. You know he

952
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 4: didn't always have the best practices, but when they saw

953
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 4: him in the preseason, when they saw him against Cleveland,

954
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 4: they saw him play with a different level of decisiveness.

955
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 4: And the decisive word is really what they're leaning on

956
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 4: because Tua this year just was not pulling the trigger.

957
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: He was not the accurate, the anticipation thrower. And so

958
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 4: the hope is they can function this offense a little

959
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: bit quicker with the guy who's ready to prove that

960
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 4: he's worthy to be an NFL.

961
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: That being said, for a lot of fantasy folks, Darren

962
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Waller has been a nice addition to rosters over the

963
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: last few weeks. He doesn't catch the ball a lot,

964
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: but when he does, more often than that, it seems

965
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: to be a touchdown. Do you think we'll still see

966
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot of Darren Waller in the offense with Quinn Ewers.

967
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

968
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: I think fantasy fans were hoping we waited one more

969
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: week for two because he's got a delicious matchup against

970
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 4: this Bengals defense that has like shredded cheese against tight ends.

971
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot because we just don't have

972
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 4: a sample size of Quinn Eewers. Of knowing where his

973
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: target points are within the offense. I'd imagine that you

974
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 4: see a big six to six weapon in the red

975
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 4: zone and it's easy whether you're too or quinn Ewers.

976
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 4: But so much of Darren Waller's success has been low

977
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 4: volume red zone touches, and so it's not really predictable.

978
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 4: He goes through games sometimes where he doesn't have a

979
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: target for three quarters and then all of a sudden,

980
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 4: he gets five catches in two minutes, including a couple touchdowns.

981
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 4: So it's always going to be a little high risk,

982
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: and even more without Tua. But if you're in a

983
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 4: spot that you need the upside for a tight end,

984
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: Waller's been excellent for them in the red zone, and

985
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 4: I think he'll certainly be a target again against a

986
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 4: Bengals defense that can't stop a tight end from high school.

987
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: It seems like this year, uh, speaking of can't stop

988
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: a tight end from high school, it's kind of the

989
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 2: opposite in Vegas. I don't know if they would score

990
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: against a high school defense. Do you think? Simple question,

991
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: do they score a touchdown against Auston this week?

992
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 4: You know? Inact? In fact, in fact, I'm curious, not

993
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 4: that I would bet, but what the odds are on

994
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: whether the Texas defense or the Raiders offense scores more points.

995
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 4: You know, I wouldn't be shocked if it's a Texas defense.

996
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: I think that we're just as likely to see a

997
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 4: defensive touchdown than a Raiders offensive touchdown. You know that

998
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 4: if they thought the Eagles were bad last week, wait,

999
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 4: so they still see Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter and

1000
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 4: Derek Stingley.

1001
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1002
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that maybe the Raiders could use

1003
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, they play in Las Vegas

1004
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: to there.

1005
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 2: But like, this game's in Houston.

1006
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 4: It's not like, you know, like there's been The Texans

1007
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 4: are still looking up in their divisions, so they have

1008
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 4: plenty to play for. You can't expect them to just

1009
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 4: sleep walk. I don't know, maybe somebody falls asleep and

1010
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 4: Brock Bowers sneaks into the end zone. I don't know.

1011
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 4: There is just not a lot of hope with this

1012
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 4: Raiders team.

1013
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just hoping if you're the Raiders,

1014
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: maybe you can, like, you know, hope that Will Anderson

1015
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: is out too late at Caesars the night before or

1016
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: something like that.

1017
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 2: But like that's just like I have it. My favorite things, oh,

1018
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 2: go ahead, scenarios where it's like if if the Raiders,

1019
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: if the Texans lose this week, this team could clinch.

1020
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, let's.

1021
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 4: Maybe when it's thirty three to nothing and you're you're

1022
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 4: triding out there for the drive, that's the one that

1023
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 4: touch down.

1024
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 2: All that's what happened.

1025
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you talk about the the Texans looking up and

1026
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: trying to win their division, You've got a dogfight going

1027
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: on in the AFC North between these Steelers and the Ravens.

1028
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: Who do you think he's up being the division.

1029
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Because I feel like that's the only team that's going

1030
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: to get the playoffs in that division. Who wins that division?

1031
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: To you?

1032
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 4: For sure, most of the year, the answer to me

1033
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 4: would have been the Ravens. I thought they were the

1034
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 4: more talented team. You've got Lamar, you've got Derrick Henry,

1035
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 4: and the Steelers that it seemed like they were combustible,

1036
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 4: especially in that middle point of a year. But then

1037
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: I saw the Steelers. I was there for Monday Night's game,

1038
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 4: and I saw a different Steelers team than I saw

1039
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 4: for most of the year. Even without TJ.

1040
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: Watt.

1041
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers was balling in his pocket, Kenneth Gainwell was unleashed,

1042
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 4: and Arthur Smith was so comfortable. He got two tight

1043
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 4: ends rushing touchdowns, and the defense started to have a

1044
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 4: different energy and spark. And you look at the way

1045
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 4: the schedule is set up the Steelers. The Steelers, all

1046
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 4: they have to do is win Week EIGHTEAM at home

1047
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 4: and they win that division. Doesn't matter what they do

1048
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: the next two weeks. I think the Steelers win this division.

1049
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: I think they've got enough on defense. I'm still concerned

1050
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: by the Ravens offense and this version of Lamar not

1051
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 4: looking as explosive, and if you have a close defensive battle,

1052
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 4: I just trust the Steelers defen fence and their situational

1053
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 4: football more than I do the Ravens.

1054
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 2: That Week eighteen game has Game two seventy two written

1055
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: all over it for sure. Speaking of AFC North, where

1056
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: are you going to be this week?

1057
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 4: I am going up to Cleveland. I have been in

1058
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 4: Cleveland a lot more than I thought for the record

1059
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 4: they have, but they have interesting people, including you know,

1060
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 4: a quarterback in Shador Sanders that's trying to prove that

1061
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 4: he can be the guy in twenty twenty six and

1062
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett, who is one sack away from tying the

1063
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 4: NFL sack record. And then of course they're playing Josh

1064
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 4: Allen and the Bills, a team that you know you

1065
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 4: can't help, but look around at the AFC and see

1066
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 4: no Chiefs, no Bengals, potentially no Ravens, and say, why

1067
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 4: isn't this there a year? So I think a real

1068
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 4: contender in the Bills, and then the Browns trying to

1069
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: get a record and see if their quarterback can continue

1070
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 4: to keep this job.

1071
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 2: All right, I mean, definitely some interesting storylines there. We

1072
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: know the Cleveland Airport pretty we are familiar to Cleveland Airport.

1073
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: We've never actually been in the city.

1074
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: We land, we get our bags, we get our rental car,

1075
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: we drive the Canton like.

1076
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of the whole of it for us. Absolutely, Ken,

1077
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 2: before we let you go. Fantasy team update.

1078
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 4: Man, I got beat in one of my leagues.

1079
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 2: I was the one seed.

1080
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: I got beat by a six and eight team that

1081
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 4: was the eight seed. The folks in my league are laughing.

1082
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 4: They're calling me that we believe warriors. I was thirteen

1083
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 4: and one all year and my guys didn't even play well.

1084
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 4: I played poorly. He just had an incredible heater he

1085
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 4: went off. I think he had Kyle Pitt starting. It's

1086
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: kind of crazy fluke and so I just got to

1087
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,120
