Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio m Welcome back up, Dale Ali here

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson and met The Week sixteen in the

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: NFL kicks off tonight tonight, as we get ready for

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: the we're doing the Fantasy Football focus here. Uh, what

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: do you like tonight? Well, first of all, I think

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: a really noteworthy thing tonight is as we saw Staffold

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: didn't play last week, isn't gonna play tonight. The left

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: tackle the Wan isn't gonna play tonight. His backup Lamb

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: who isn't all that great the cost today, I mean,

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: so the left side of their line is going to

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: be troublesome. I mean Bosa in that pass rush, I

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: think we'll feast. I'm expecting turnovers and not so great

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: play by Tannehill. So if you just look at it

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: from a Titans perspective, I think A J. Brown is

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the only one to think about. And he's back. Julio

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: is back to starting A J. Brown this week though,

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: is a bit of a It's a leap of faith.

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: It's a hugely because A J. Brown, even before the

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: the injury, wasn't the A J. Brown of No, he

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: was not tearing it this year. If you look at

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: his production this year, do your ERA stats for the

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: year four forty nine, three for forty three, zero for

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: for zero on to two targets. You gotta hurt that

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: game three for thirty eight uh seven nine one Okay,

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: that's that's more like three ten for one touchdown eight

39
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: fore and a touchdown, So there was a three game

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: stretcher that was pretty good. Then you know he got

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: eleven targets again. Then in week nine against the Rams

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: five forty two. Uh. Then it was one for sixteen

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: on four targets. His last the last game that he

44
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: played on nine targets five forty eight. Yeah. It's not

45
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: a good year. It's not and so you do have

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: to be cognizant of that. I mean even those early games.

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: He got eight targets in Week one in a touchdown.

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: Now he saved it with a touchdown. Uh. Week two,

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: nine targets forty three. Yeah, and Tanny Hill is not good.

50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: He has not been good. Now, you're right. And it's

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: not like oh Julio showed up and took all of

52
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: his tart of productions. He hasn't been much harder. The

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: problem is that those guys never practice. No, they never practiced.

54
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: A j Brown is like the new Julio in terms

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: of Wednesday's off and all that new offenseive coordinator. Um,

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep at night, Dough. If I didn't start

57
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: Ajia Brown to night, I wouldn't start him till I would.

58
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: If you and I get everyone here in your semifinals,

59
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: if you have a better option for a pseudo I

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: mean the same tier, same tier type option, I would

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: go with the safe bet because the worst thing that

62
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: could happen to you and semifinal weekend, you start your

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: weekend off with with with a J Brown getting two

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: for one. Right now, you're chasing points the rest of

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: the weekend just as bad though, as if he's on

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: your bench for twelve for one thirty. That's fine, you

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I would rather have that in

68
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: my hip pocket because now I know I can start

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: him next week. Well yeah, that's that has value. But

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: then the other you're gonna start gets COVID tonight and

71
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: there's that. I mean, so you get you get him,

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: doubt I'm playing the guys that play earlier. Make sure

73
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: that you know that. I just he But he's a

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: little scary. He didn't you know he got activated the

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: day before the Steeler game, right, Okay, so the only

76
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: practices that he has taken part in have realistically been walkthroughs. No,

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: that's good point too. He could be on a pitch count,

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: he could be what kind of shape is he in?

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: How much has he worked out? How many routes can

80
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: he run without huffing and puffing? And yeah, I mean,

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: I think he's a dynamic player and they absolutely need him.

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: I just I want to see it. If I have

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: a better option, I want to see it. Like, Okay,

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: let's say you have Tee Higgins. Okay, I'm gonna start

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna start te Higgins over over this week

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: just because I mean, I guess in that regard, probably

87
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: do you have three receivers that are all a J.

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: Brown ish or better? I mean, if you've survived this

89
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: long without him, you probably, yeah, you might. Okay, you're

90
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: kind of talking me into it. I mean, in a vacuum,

91
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm definitely starting a J. Brown, but you

92
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: probably would rather have next week than this week. I

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: think that's that's the idea, you know, that's the idea,

94
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: and that I mean, I just want to see it

95
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: for a week. I want to see what he looks like.

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: I want to see how healthy is he again? Is he?

97
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Is he on a pitch count? Is Tanny Hill still

98
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: look like garbage? That the quarterback hasn't helped? Protection is

99
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: not gonna help. It's not gonna help at all at all.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, by the way they want to run the

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: football like crazy. Well, that's what the next thing I

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: was gonna say. It's just this game in general, I'm

103
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: betting there's not a lot of snaps. Yeah, I mean

104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: they both want to run the ball. They both want

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, unless game script doesn't go that way. But

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: they're both built probably over by right right and on

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: the other side, um, what's his face? The back isn't

108
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: playing Elijah Mitchell's gonna be Wilson and that's a tough matchup,

109
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: but he probably will get a lot of touches. I mean,

110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: he's probably the bird in the hand of do I

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: want the leadoff walk and my first game of the

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: week or I hope and other guys don't get COVID

113
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: and you know, if they're better options obviously, Yeah, you

114
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: can certainly end up with a fifteen for fifty five,

115
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: no touchdowns in one catch for four yards and they

116
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: wint three. Yeah, all of a sudden, you're sitting there

117
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: on I got seven points out of him. You know,

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: he probably doesn't blow up, right, but he probably gets

119
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: the ball a lot and they probably win. Now you're

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: gonna start Debot, You're gonna start Kiddle. Although it's a

121
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: tough matchups. They're good against tight ends, excellent and a

122
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: lot of that's Kevin Byird. Yeah, and that that probably,

123
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: but you're not sitting them, yeah, I mean neither quarterback obviously. Yeah,

124
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: would you start Ayouk or would you start a J. Brown? Brown?

125
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: But that's not as crazy as it sounds. I mean

126
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: we thought about this just one week ago. Tight they're

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: good against tight ends, but they're really bad against receivers. Right,

128
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: but how much will San Fran have to throw them?

129
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: How much will they throw the ball to the receivers?

130
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: That's the right, Like I mean, Shannahan and if he's

131
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: a win just by handing off every snap, he'll do

132
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: it gladly take it. I don't think he can do

133
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: that against the Titans because the run defense does the

134
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: run defense is good, yeah, unless they get up heavy

135
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: and then the whole second half just you know where

136
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: they get a couple of turnovers and saw what happens

137
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: with that. But I don't see a Tennessee score many

138
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: points tonight. I think it's a low scoring game. Not

139
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps niners d yeah, because because of

140
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: that line, I mean, I think it's a problem. I

141
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: bet they're sacks, Yeah, they've they've They've given up eight

142
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: sacks the last two weeks, and they won one of

143
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: those games. Twenty and nothing right right right now, it

144
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been good. And I bet there's turnovers. Yeah yeah,

145
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: and that was with the one and that was with

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: for one of those games anyways. So yeah, it's not

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: a fantasy bananza. It is not. But the guys who

148
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously again you're starting Debo, you're starting Kiddle.

149
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: These are big, these are big time. Probably got you

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: to the Yeah, back to you. I bet he's a

151
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: top thirty issue receiver though. And I didn't mean don't

152
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: start him. He's got no chance, right, I mean, I

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: mean I think he's you know, turned the corner and

154
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: as a quality fantasy asset now, yeah, I mean he's

155
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: getting targets and he's good. Yeah. Uh looking, here's some

156
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: news and notes. The Saints man put a whole bunch

157
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: of guys on the COVID list. Um. They ian Book

158
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: starting a quarterback ian Book is going to start for

159
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: the Saints this week at quarterback Dolphins. D isn't available,

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: but you wish it was. Yeah, I mean that game

161
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: might be first one to tann. They've also they put

162
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Simeon on, They put Hill Hill on. Uh. They also

163
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: placed Malcolm Jenkins defensive back Jeff Heath or health Mouth.

164
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: James Carpenter is an offensive lineman, linebacker, Kade Nellis defensive end,

165
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Holmes offensive tackle, Jordan Mills defensive tackle, Christian Ringo. Now,

166
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: none of those guys other than Jenkins are are big

167
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: time guys. But the quarterbacks, oh man, it's been bad

168
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: enough at quarterback. Yeah, Kamara is the only usable saying

169
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he can use Kamara. And

170
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: that's in that situation. I mean, I don't think many

171
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: points weeks were Now. I mean, I'm gonna if I'm

172
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, I'm putting fourteen guys at the line of

173
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: scrimmage and saying, we're not even gonna cover your receivers

174
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: have at it. I mean as much a man coverage

175
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: in the corners they have anyway they want to blitz,

176
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna blitz like crazy. That might be

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: the best defensive start of the week. And how much

178
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: of the Saints is a bad one That might be

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: on the field a lot, But that's a good d

180
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: against a really bad old line. You know, avoid that game,

181
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I think if you can. But you can't avoid Kamara.

182
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's your best option. He probably got you here, right,

183
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Kaseki might be your best tight end and that won't

184
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: be okay. Waddle comes back though, yea. The Seahawks activated

185
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett from the reserve COVID nineteen. Yeah, you plugging

186
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: right back in. Yeah, he should be good to go.

187
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: They play the Bears this week. The Bears. That defense

188
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: look good fast. I'm gonna see if if Johnson gets

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: back for the Bears or not, he'll follow. But I

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: would imagine he follows Metcalf. Yeah, Metcalf as you you

191
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: can't start, you can't start him. Remember I mean kind

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: of off topic. We were talking about Mike Williams or Metcalf. Yes,

193
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, but both are capable of much more than

194
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: they've given us lately. You know. Uh, Justin Fields with

195
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: the ankle injury did not practice on Thursday. That's troublesome.

196
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: That's a really good start to like he's a Seahawks.

197
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: That one's one the monitor because I don't I think

198
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Dalton's on COVID or something too. He is, so you

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: might be seeing because I think Mooney and commit are

200
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: sneaky starts. You know, what if if the guys in

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Chicago are going down and they very likely are probably

202
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: are they should have to go down with Nick Foles

203
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the last three games the season, right, yeah, seras, you're right.

204
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: You invested in this, right, right made? Yeah, you made

205
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: your bed um side note. I don't think affects fantasy

206
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: too much. But there's a new rule this year about

207
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: coaches and firings. I think that's gonna happen soon because

208
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you've been opening the last two weeks,

209
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: you can interview you guys that are currently in the league.

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: So why hold on to the bearside coach? But the

211
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: problem is then if you fire the head coach, somebody

212
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: else on your staff has to be capable of running

213
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: the show. And then, yeah, I means every idea if

214
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: a guy a mid season in my opinion, but there's

215
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: an advantage this year doing it. Lamar Jackson's we mentioned

216
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: did not participate. John Harbor said Wednesday he's day to day,

217
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: but he's missed every practice since injuring that ankle in

218
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: week fourteen. It's a bone bruise, not a spring. Are

219
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: you starting him if he's healthy, Yes, yeah, I think

220
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: if he can't run, they're not gonna put him out there, right,

221
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: that's I think part of the problem. Right now, what

222
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: about Marquis Brown with Lamar? I say, yes, without I

223
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of You know, Brown had like seven catches last

224
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: week for like seven yards, for like twenty eight yards, right,

225
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: So in PPR you're like looking at that. Go, okay,

226
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: he was They're using him. He was all right, right right,

227
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: he had like fifteen targets. He's gonna throw the ball

228
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: down to the field. No, And I think Lamar will Yeah,

229
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: there's no, That's my point there is. I think you

230
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: want you definitely want Lamar in the lineup. Andrews doesn't matter.

231
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's Markus Brown or A J. Brown, a

232
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: J A Jan Yeah, I don't know. He's really good.

233
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: Markus Brown has been a much better player this year

234
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: than A J. Brown And really going back to the

235
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: last twenty games. Yeah, a J. Brown or Age or

236
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Mark's Brown finished last season much stronger than people want

237
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: to give him credit for. Yeah, he was a Steel

238
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: in drafts this year. It shouldn't have been. I mean

239
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't automatically just if I'm sitting if

240
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I've been playing Marquis Brown all season long, I don't

241
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: automatically just plug a J. Brown in and say, oh,

242
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: he's better than no I do. Markus Brown has been

243
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: pretty good. I know I'm always a Marquis Brown backer

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: because people don't realize how good he is for fantasy. Uh.

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: The Texans placed tightest right tackle Titus Howard, center, Justin Britt,

246
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: defensive end Jordan Jenkins, defensive lineman ray Roy Lopez, safety

247
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Eric Murray in cornerback Lon Johnson on the COVID night

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks news to or is already on there. Yeah,

249
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: they're not gonna score point and there's not They don't

250
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: have many much to begin with. I mean, I've been

251
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of They've got twenty one guys now on the list.

252
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's troublesome, right, Like the team moved

253
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: the games that got moved last week because teams that

254
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: had twenty plus players on the COVID it wasn't They

255
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't care who it was. Had two fifths of your

256
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: lot of your roster is essentially a third. Because you

257
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: get a little just under a third because you get

258
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: up to sixty plus guys, there's almost seventy guys with

259
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: it you could grab. Yeah, um, yeah, that would be

260
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah. And the other problem is if you're

261
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: still having guys testing positive on a daily basis, which

262
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: I can you wonder like I ate a tough one

263
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: last week just so I could have the Chargers defense

264
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: this week. It looks better than ever now. I don't

265
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: even care after when James plays or who who plays

266
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: at this point, I mean against that that group at

267
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: they're rotten out there. But Ekla in that game is

268
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: interesting because he went to COVID. If it gets moved back,

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. If he gets bomped. Now there's

270
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: the possibility that he could be returned. Right he's also

271
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: facing an injury. If I'm the Chargers, I'm not rushing

272
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: him back. But if it's Tuesday game and he's cleared, maybe,

273
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: But that'd be tough to be an Eckler owner right

274
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: now if you don't own Jackson, no doubt. Jalen Hurts

275
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: with an ankle, is listed as questionable for the second

276
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: day of practice on Thursday. Um, you'd like to have

277
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: some clarity like that, some clarity I mean fantasy alone.

278
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: If he plays, you start them. They're planning against the Giants.

279
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Pretty good matchup, Pretty good matchup. It's a good matchup

280
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: for Minshew. If you might be the Eagles, going we

281
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: can win this one to Minshew. You know that save

282
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: hurts for the stretch or maybe it plays a quarter

283
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and if it's questionable. You hated at the Minshew. But

284
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders with the quad injury, did not practice on Thursday,

285
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: So I think they said after the you know, early

286
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: in the week, he probably wasn't gonna practice much this week.

287
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: But they're optimistic. But who knows. He's kind of fools gold. Oh,

288
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: he's hard, he's tease, he doesn't score a bunch of touchdowns,

289
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: he's always on the injury list, he doesn't play a

290
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: high number snaps. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if

291
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: he's soft or not, but he seems a little soft,

292
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, like he's hard to trust. I mean, he's

293
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: not reliable and you don't see him doing the dirty

294
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: work out there. But it's a great spot for him,

295
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: and he's very talented. You know, they for whatever reason,

296
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: they just don't want him to have carrying a heavy

297
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: workload and he's never been there. Last didn't think so.

298
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette was officially placed on injured reserve. That means

299
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: he's out at least three weeks from here, so his

300
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: season is done. You can cut him unless you're in

301
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: the keeper league. Uh Antonio Brown listed as limited for

302
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the second consecutive day with an ankle injury. Okay, that's

303
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the thing is we gotta make sure he's healthy. I mean,

304
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: as usual with AB, they're a lot of hurdles in

305
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: his way and a lot of them are self created.

306
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: And now he's back on the field at least. But

307
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: do you wonder what I mean, it's been like eight

308
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: weeks or not? Right? This ankle in you? Do you

309
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: have it amputated? Was it? Do he not? Does he

310
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: not have an ankle between his his knee cap and

311
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: his foot? Not go to treatment for three months? Maybe?

312
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean that to me? I mean that's always something

313
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: and he was always on top of um. But the

314
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: fact that he's we differ on this one a little.

315
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten receiver this week. I

316
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: mean he's a start no matter what I mean. If

317
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the guy's limited every day this week, and if he

318
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: has any kind of designation, well, if it's questionable and

319
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: if it's a game time decision or something, that's different.

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: But I'm assuming he's gonna be cleared in the day

321
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: or two. I mean, I think that if he's active,

322
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: they're going to use him. But if he's active, I

323
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to be on the field

324
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of the time. I think he's gonna

325
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: get fifteen snaps and they're gonna throw the ball when

326
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: he's out there and he's gonna get those. But if

327
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: he's active, he's a top ten receiver for me. I

328
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: think it's that simple in the way. I like this

329
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: could be a situation like he had his first game

330
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: in New England a few years ago, where he's only

331
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: game in New England. Yeah, he did really well, but

332
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: was hardly out. It was four for fifty one in

333
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. It was it like eight targets on in

334
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: like twelve snaps, four for fifty one in the touchdown.

335
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure health and conditioning are factors here. But as

336
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 1: a Buck, he's been like a top five points per

337
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: game receiver this year. You know, that's with Evans and

338
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: Godwin in the equations. By the way, I got his

339
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: his second consecutive d MP. I'm not counting. It doesn't

340
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: look like he's gonna play. Yeah, they're gonna win. I mean,

341
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: I think their division is already wrapped up. Maybe not

342
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: have to lose the Saints. They need their magic numbers one. Yeah,

343
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get to buy. But the division why

344
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: rush evans backs and adventure and it's waiting. Hi. This

Speaker 1: Award Information visit JD power dot Com Slash Awards. I

356
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: still think Tyler Johnson is a sneaky play. We should

357
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: talk about him tomorrow for d DFS though. Yeah, I

358
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: bet he's super cheap. Yeah, I mean, I'm not starting

359
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: him over a B. He might be running routes in

360
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: in Tom Brady's backyard, right now, yeah, you absolutely. How

361
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: about this little bit of news, the Rams designated Cam

362
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: Acres to return from reserve. Now you're in those rumors

363
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't believe him. That's that's for the playoffs. Yeah,

364
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: they're doing that for the playoffs. Now you can do

365
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: DFS or fantasy in the playoffs. Don't forget about that.

366
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: Oh no, right, I mean before his injury, I was

367
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: torn between like him and nausey in the middle of

368
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: the first I mean, like I loved his situation and

369
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle wasn't a Ram back then. They they made

370
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: that trade, and I guess I'm a little higher on

371
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Henderson now than I was at that point. But Acres

372
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: is a bell cow study. Now what we don't know? Again,

373
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: he's coming off an achilles injury. Um, that one they

374
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: traded for Sony Michelle. Since then, Michelle looks good and

375
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Michelle's looked good. Is this is this like, Okay, we're

376
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: just gonna have break glass in case of emergency, I imagine,

377
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, Um, really, the only fantasy note on Acres

378
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: is what's he gonna look like in the playoffs if

379
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: and when he's used? You know, how did how early

380
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: you're willing to take him next year or if you're

381
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: in a dynasty league with his value, because for our

382
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: sake here, I don't think it's gonna matter. I don't

383
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: think it matters. Jarvis Landry, according to Kevin Stefanski, will

384
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: be activated tomorrow because tomorrow will be day ten for

385
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: him and he is cleared. Yeah, I mean it's something

386
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: for the Browns. He would be high on my receiver

387
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: fantasy list. Yeah. The plan for the Browns, according to

388
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, is for Baker Mayfield to start uh against

389
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: the Packers on Saturday, even though he'll be he won't

390
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: be activated until tomorrow. These are I think coach comments

391
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: like we're expecting him to start, you know, things like

392
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: that because he'll be about he'll have been out for

393
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: ten days. Um. Jedrick willis also supposed to be back

394
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: for them in the game. I mean, it's a little

395
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: better than it was. But these are guys who haven't

396
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: practiced in two weeks. You know. By the way, Kenny

397
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: Clark one of the best noses in the league. He

398
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: just came off COVID and he's gonna line up against

399
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: the center not named J. C. Treader for interior run

400
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: and pressure and Baker and I still think they're in

401
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: massive trouble. D J Moore did not practice again today.

402
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: That's not looking positive at all. I don't know if

403
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: you've heard this, but they said Sam Donald and Cam

404
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: are going to play this week. Fantastic, Yeah, I mean

405
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: DJ Moore owners Sorry. Not only that, but it probably

406
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: kills their running backs. Probably Cam's probably gonna if Cam's

407
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: in the game, is probably in short yard of situations

408
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: or get to go the line. I think Abdulla is

409
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: a sneaky start though. Just get beat bad and dump

410
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: it to him in an easy throw and they're probably

411
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna get beat bad. We gotta talk about the big

412
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: news of the day. Dalvin Cook will with will miss

413
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: week sixteens game against the Rams. He is now on

414
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: the COVID list and he's not vaccinated. Yeah, he's not vaccinated.

415
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: That means he is out at least ten days. Well,

416
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: if you start doing the math, he's he's gonna miss

417
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: two games. So if you didn't handcuff him, you're screwed. Yeah. Well,

418
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Alexander Madison just came off the COVID

419
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: list earlier this week. So Alexander Madison was probably for

420
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of those in a lot of leagues released

421
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: possibly this late in the year. I need to roster

422
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: spot that guy's on the coach. The chances I get

423
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: to get the Madison as a starter, possibly especially in

424
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: smaller leagues, of course, well you better give everything he

425
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: got for him now, yeah, without question, um, I mean

426
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: that's just killer and like if if he looked so

427
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: good too, Dalvin Cook was was a probably a league

428
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: winner for if we were drafting right now, the top

429
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: five pick. I mean, he's super valuable. And then NFL wise,

430
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: I really think the Eagles, Saints, and Vikings are all

431
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: fighting for that last spot. And the Vikes had the

432
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: hardest schedule to begin with, and now they lost their

433
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: most important guy. I mean they're playing the Rams this week.

434
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Theelan is gonna play. I mean, I

435
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: know that Ramsey doesn't travel a lot, but wouldn't you

436
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: just put him on Jefferson for every snap? You know what?

437
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all you got and we're gonna probably

438
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: got the best corner in the league. You don't have Cook,

439
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: you don't have feeling, you know, I think Minnesota's cooked. Well,

440
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: there you go. About that. Um. Meanwhile, the Saints are

441
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: playing being book. Maybe the Eagle are going to run

442
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: away this thing. I mean, the Eagles have the Giants

443
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: in Washington the next two weeks and then a Dallas

444
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: team that might rest everybody, setting up pretty well for

445
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: Philly to get in the playoffs. It is uh, Cliff

446
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: Kingsbury said, James Connor and Ron Delmore will be game

447
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: day decisions. Well, Moore hasn't played much anymore, right, Yeah,

448
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: so that that's not a Hopkins out. If Connor doesn't play,

449
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds becomes. I bet Connor doesn't play. Yeah, I

450
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: think Edmonds is very valuable. Yeah, I mean, so he

451
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: may actually find the end zone. He might doesn't do

452
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: that very well with the football, with the football and

453
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: football in his hands and everything. He's the top twenty

454
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: four backball they'll throw it. They throw the ball to

455
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: the backs. Not an easy matchup, good defense, and they

456
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: could be behind behind. No, I think Chase Edmonds could

457
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: end up being a top twelve back this week. He

458
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: may catch eight balls right right, Yeah, especially with some

459
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: of the pieces that they're missing, the short, quick stuff

460
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: and run Delmore kind of stuff to um Jamar Chase

461
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: the news your wink. Martindale told reporters that he would

462
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: not double or triple team Jamaar Chase like he did

463
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams last week. Well there's a reason for that

464
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: because they have other receivers. Probably wouldn't have done that

465
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: the Adams if Higgins and Boyd were packers, you know, right,

466
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: and Adams is better than all those guys. Did you

467
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: see the video by the way of Davante Adams talking

468
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: to reporters via zoom call and they were asking him

469
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: how The reporters were asking Davante Adams about how the

470
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: the Rave Ravens took him out of the game, Like

471
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: he started, he looked at his phone, he started calling

472
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: up video like here they are, Like you can't watch

473
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: and see if they're treating and like he's a punt gunner,

474
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: totally double at him rare coverage scheme, you know, and

475
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: you're basically playing ten on on right, right, or actually

476
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: nine on nine on the other on the other ten exactly, yeah, right,

477
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: which is not how they're gonna play. Going enough, But

478
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: I love the Bengals receivers this week. Yeah, that secondary

479
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: is a disaster. Usually two of the three hit and

480
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: you don't quite know who it is, but by Hope's hope,

481
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: it's not Tyler Boyd again, and you know didn't start him,

482
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: but I mean you're starting Higgins and Chase. Yeah, Higgins

483
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: and Chase or Brown A J. Brown, the Bengals, the

484
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: two Bengals guys. Yeah. Yeah, and I think i'd like

485
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: to start Borrow too. Over a lot of quarterbacks this week. Yeah, absolutely, Uh,

486
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Ramond J. Stevenson ill again today. It's they're saying it's

487
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: non COVID, but now he has missed two consecutive days

488
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: of practice. Uh is there Harris news too? He was

489
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: also limited today. So man against the Bill, it could

490
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: be Brandon Bolden, right, And they're not gonna run the

491
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: ball forty fifty times with Brandon Bolden and J. J. Taylor, Right.

492
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: I guess they're one of those that, Wow, those are

493
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: game changing moves. I mean, considering how they played last time.

494
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the weather is not the same,

495
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: but they're gonna run the ball a lot against the Bills. Yeah.

496
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: One final piece of news here, Antonio Gibson with a toe.

497
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: Now that is bothering him. It's not the show. It's

498
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: a toe. First quarters, he was sidelined for Thursday's practice

499
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: in Washington. After that he did not. But just when

500
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, he looked great early again and then he

501
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: turned the toe. Maybe this is just gonna be who

502
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: he is. Maybe or it's just not his year. I mean,

503
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: who's your quarterback? McLaren's are a little hard to count

504
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: on right now too. Is it just shut down football teamers? Yeah,

505
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: maybe there's some teams right now. You just can't start

506
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: anybody off, you know, other than James Robinson. You're not

507
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: starting any Jags and he's banged up. Jags play the Jets.

508
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: You're not playing any Jets. No, you playing any football teamers.

509
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: And McLaren and Gibson have to be in the equation

510
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: based on reputation and ability. But but like I'm thinking

511
00:26:51,960 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: about benching um Gibson for Michelle or Jack's and I

512
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: picked up from the Chargers. I mean, those guys are

513
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: ahead of them. Javante Williams. You're not playing any Texans

514
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: this week, any of them. Any of them. Uh, there's

515
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: one Lion you can play unless swift back. I haven't

516
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: seen it. There's no news here on he was limited today. Yeah, Yeah,

517
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: there's one line you can play but yeah, it's pretty

518
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: how much giants? No giants, I mean even say Kwan,

519
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard. They're not hard to move the ball,

520
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: and hard to push push the button on that one.

521
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: It's really hard to push the button. Yeah, and this

522
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: is a mistake that all of us. The Patriots don't

523
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: have either of those two running backs. Can you start

524
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: any Patriots in that game against the Bills? No, No,

525
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: there's not them are startable? No, I mean, if you're desperate,

526
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: I guess Henry, but desperate. They threw the ball three

527
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: times the last time they could do that again, who

528
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: knows it's Belichick. They get en up starting some linebacker

529
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: running back this week. And you know, I bet we're

530
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: missing a team or two too that you just can't

531
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: really use it all. Seattle is getting close. Yeah, I

532
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: was getting close. Yeah, I mean you can't play Wilson. No,

533
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean you play lock it yeah? Lock it's you

534
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: can't play Metcalf after last week? You can't play Penny No. Wow,

535
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: it's bad. A lot of these teams are You're useless.

536
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: You know how many Bears? I guess I was thinking

537
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: about them. Montgomery startable? But what if it's foals, you're

538
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: starting any other bears, if it's if it's falls my panthers,

539
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: you start none more. Might not play. That's a zero.

540
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't leave you much to pick from. It's really rough.

541
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty shallow out there. Yeah. So anyways, that's gonna

542
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: stick with your stars, just because they're stars, even though

543
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: they take your best lineup, and because it's all about winning.

544
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: You gotta win this week. Not many raiders you can

545
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: use either. I mean they're better, I mean they're a

546
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: little better, but it's not pretty there either. For sure,

547
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for today's show. So for my

548

Speaker 1: partner coming up with teams left and right, then have

549
