20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: Week two?

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Thank you first of all so much

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: for having me. It's an honor to be on with you.

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: And Week two wasn't as fun as as the first.

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is I'm sure you're the same

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: way where you playing a lot of leagues. There's charity leagues,

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: there's all sorts of stuff. I crushed week one except

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: for my League of Record, which is the league that

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: I love the most, that I play with with my

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: friends that I've known since first grade, and it was awful.

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: And then this week has sort of been the reverse,

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: where I did really well in my League of Record,

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: but the rest of the leagues didn't fall by the wayside.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: I found myself being disappointed both times, like I'm like,

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm never going to be happy no matter what happens

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: fantasy wise, but it's been fun and I'm enjoying it

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: and so and then now I cap off this week

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: by by spending some time with you.

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't ask for about a week.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much.

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: Obviously we haven't like done a ton of podcasts together,

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: so I was super excited to get you on it.

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: It feels like we have though you feel like old friends.

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like I could tell you anything right now.

44
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: Did you get Derrick Henry? That's the big question of

45
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: the week.

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: You know what, I wish I had more because I

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: felt like I was one of the few people that

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: was unafraid of Derek Henry. I'm like, I don't care,

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: like that guy's built differently, Like I'm not concerned in

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: the least, and yet I could never draft him. I'm

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: sure I've got if I go through and look through

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: all my teams, I'm certain I have them in places

53
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: because oh I do get phone notifications like Derek Henry

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: just scored again.

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: You're like sick.

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: I yeah, it's it's crazy because last year in my

57
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: League of Record, by the way, we switched to half

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: point PPR, and people didn't know how to behave that way,

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I can't have Dereck Henry. I'm like,

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: that's the dumbest, Like take him in full point PPR.

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. So I wish that I had more

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: shares of him. But it was not Listen, I was

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: not one of those haters. I'm a Derrick Henry guy.

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: So all right, Adam, let us just jump right in.

65
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: Question one is when did you start playing fantasy football

66
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: and did you win.

67
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: Your first league.

68
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: I did not win my first league, and I started

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 2: playing in college because I was super popular.

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: No is it high school? College? High school?

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Now it's been so far like they blend together. Although

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: I was real, I was real dorky in high school.

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: I'm like that didn't change in college either, So it's

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: hard to differentiate. Everything that's popular now was not popular

75
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, and so like you were.

76
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Pop stopping now at all.

77
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't want I don't want to hear your story,

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: but like, oh, not popular either, stop it, stop it.

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: I was just going to say, I have no idea

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: what that has to do with being popular and not

81
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: popular playing fantasy football, but I guess I did start

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: a lot lot later.

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Well, it is a thing of like did you hang

84
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: out with girls or did you hang out playing fantasy football.

85
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I played out playing fantasy football playing video games, which

86
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: now like it's inclusive for everybody, which is amazing, But

87
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: it was a very much you were very much off

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: to the side of like, oh, you're like the sporto

89
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: person and you know if you needed to cheat off me.

90
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: In history, that's when I was very popular. I will

91
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: tell you though, I did not win my first fantasy league,

92
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: but yeah, I was college, high school. Yeah, I was

93
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: very young when we start, not super young playing, but

94
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: for the time, you know, it was revolutionary somebody my

95
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: age was playing fantasy sports.

96
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: I love that. I wish I had started earlier.

97
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: What are the best and worst parts about playing fantasy

98
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: football for you?

99
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think it was what we were just talking

100
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: about a moment ago, about how many leagues you're in.

101
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: It's really hard to enjoy it, especially you know at

102
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: some point, you know when your industry stars like us

103
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: we have, we're either going against or we're playing every

104
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: single player, like every touchdown either goes against you or

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: it hurts you, unless it's like Andy Janovich and then

106
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, who cans? But it is really like

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: it is frustrating that way, and so again I just

108
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: take it as entertainment.

109
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: All right, jumping into the actual football. So we're going

110
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: to kick it off with a quick segment called the

111
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: burn Book, which is of course the mean Girls reference.

112
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you that, oh I know them.

113
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: And fantasy managers, it is so easy to have recency bias,

114
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: especially if a player has burned us, either due to

115
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: injuries or a bad week. So we're going to run

116
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: through five players, and I'd like you to briefly tell

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: us how confident you are in that player moving forward

118
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: or if they are in your burn books. So the

119
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: first player is Ryan Tannehill. So this Titans team has

120
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: just not looked great. They did pick up a thirty

121
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: three to thirty win in against the Seahawks in overtime,

122
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: but the team has allowed Tannehill to be sacks the

123
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: second most in the NFL an average of four point

124
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: four sacks per game, tied with Cincy and only.

125
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: Behind the Jets.

126
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 4: Doesn't help that Taylor Lawan hurt himself during warm ups.

127
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: Tannehill was obviously drafted as a top twelve QB I

128
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: think in most leagues. Has now finished his QB twenty

129
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: four and QB twenty two for this week with one

130
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: game left to play as of right now, is he

131
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 4: in your burn book?

132
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: I still have confidence in him.

133
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: He threw for three hundred and forty seven yards and

134
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 2: it really just laid out as a Derek Henry game,

135
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: and so I think those things are going to happen.

136
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: He does have the ability to run the football, so

137
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: I like that as well. One of my favorite stacks

138
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: coming into the season was Ryan Tannehill with actually Dereck

139
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: Henry just because you would get every single runhing touchdown

140
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit. I'm confident in him because again

141
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: he put up good yardage against the Seahawks. Although if

142
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: I have Kirk Cousins or if he's available on your

143
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: waiver wire, I think I'm making that move then and

144
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: we'll be starting Kirk Cousins over him.

145
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: That is quite bold. It's like a semi in your

146
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: burn bug at this point. So second guy, we're going

147
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 3: to talk about.

148
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: It's after a Sunday Night thriller. Clyde Edwards E Lair

149
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: was the only running back drafted in the first round

150
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: last year. I thought the hype was too much for

151
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: a rookie at the time, but thought he was good

152
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: value this year, going in like late second, early third.

153
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: Obviously sucks for him that.

154
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: The loss falls on his shoulders, Like that's just obviously

155
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: unfair because the Chiefs had lots of opportunities elsewhere. Afterst fumble,

156
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: He's now finishes RB thirty two at RB fifty three

157
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: through two weeks and half PPR.

158
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: Is cech in your burn book.

159
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm probably more upset because I was more

160
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: personally invested in CEH breaking out this season, So I'm

161
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: taking it very personally, But you know, what. The Chiefs

162
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: defense has been terrible, which means there's probably not gonna

163
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: be a lot of opportunity for him to get heavy

164
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: workloads as a rusher. And the thing that concerns me

165
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: the most is that he's had three receptions in the

166
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: first two games, Like that just can't happen. And the fumble.

167
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: I did look it up. Andy Reid doesn't necessarily have

168
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: a history of benching guys after fumbles.

169
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: A check like no, no, no, no, not like that.

170
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: I went actually checked out Brian Westbrook in his second season, specifically,

171
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: he had a fumble against the Cowboys, didn't lose it.

172
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: Following week, he came back and had twelve carries, which

173
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: was up from nine from the week before, and then

174
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: he had a fumble in that game too that he lost.

175
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: And then the following week he still got nine carries,

176
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: which was about his average, and he scored a touchdown.

177
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: So I'm like, okay, so Andy Reid sticks with these guys.

178
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: But then it kind of strikes you of like, man,

179
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: Andy Reid just doesn't lean on these running backs enough.

180
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: I know that we just kind of materialize this like,

181
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: oh my god, and Andy Reid has had running backs

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: who've had great numbers, but because they can catch the ball.

183
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: But you're like, who's who's the who are the wide

184
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: receivers when Jamal Charles was crushing it because it wasn't

185
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: like he was playing with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelcey,

186
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: which are both like having two wide receiver ones basically,

187
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: so I'm like, we should Actually, I.

188
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Think I got to burn. It's matter. I'm gonna go.

189
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Sarah Michelle Geller in cool intentions.

190
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how at the end of the movie

191
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: she had this huge, thick journal and then everybody left.

192
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Ryan Philippe's a spoiler alert his funeral and apparently everybody

193
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: had time to read this entire book. And the time

194
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: it took Sarah Michelle Geller to walk down the aisle

195
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: from the funeral that always struck me as odd. And

196
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: there's some kid, I'm sorry, this is why these interviews

197
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: last for six hours. But there's some kid like I

198
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: don't know who this this. I don't know if he's

199
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: an extra or if he was an actor, but he

200
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: gives Sarah Michelle Geller the like such a disapproving look

201
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: that it's so great. It's like that that was that

202
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: kid's moment. I don't know that he's an actor. Maybe

203
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: he's doing community theater in Harotote or whatever, but he

204
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: will be like, oh, he probably has people over to

205
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: his house, like watch me here in cruel intentions. I

206
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: just I eat up this scene with Sarah Michelle Geller.

207
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, so burning Coch I think was the the thing.

208
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: This isn't the problem with me. It's it's me, it's

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: not you.

210
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 4: I mean, it's tough because who is he going to

211
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: lose his job to, Like there is no one that's

212
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: really giving him a lot of competition. But yeah, it's

213
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: a it's a crappy situation for who scored.

214
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: Williams had a rushing touchdown last night, right, but somebody

215
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: else or did they call it back? I know that

216
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: he's not getting the opportunities and he's not catching the

217
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: ball enough.

218
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: That's why it's so hard.

219
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely hard. All right. Another running back we're going

220
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: to talk about is James Robinson.

221
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 4: So he has had seven I need, two rushing yards

222
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: and zero touchdowns all season. So theoretically the opportunity is

223
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: there with ETNL for the season. But I have not

224
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 4: loved this urban Meyer led Jaguars offense. I don't think

225
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: anyone has loved it. I don't think Jacksonville loved it.

226
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: What is your outlook for.

227
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: Him right now? And is he kind of in your

228
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: burn book at this point?

229
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? I got to burn this book.

230
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: You know.

231
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: One of the things.

232
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: I know, it's a burn book. I know the reference.

233
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: Believe me, they'll mean girls me but Tina fey Mark,

234
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: so I know all this stuff.

235
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: I it's been such a roller.

236
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: Coaster for James Robinson that once they drafted Travis Adn,

237
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: we forgot who James Robinson was. And then when ATN

238
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: gets hurt, we're all like, oh my god, James come

239
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: back like what are you doing? You up still, like

240
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: what's happening? And then text and then then urban Meyer.

241
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: This offense hasn't looked great and it doesn't look like

242
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just seems awkward seeing urban Meyer

243
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: on an NFL side line. And I think that a

244
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: lot of us are to this point now and we

245
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: can remember Nick Saban as the coach of the Nick

246
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: Saban was actually a competent coach of the Miami Dolphins

247
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: because he had an NFL background, But we all knew

248
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: he was going to Alabama, like, let's just do this.

249
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: And I think like we're starting to see that where

250
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, Urban, like all right, let's before you

251
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: ruin Trevor Lawrence, why don't you just go take the

252
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: USC job and be done with it.

253
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Like, let's just make it like nobody's going to be upset.

254
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: We're all cool.

255
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: This was this was this wasn't expected to be a

256
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: playoff year for Jacksonville. Anyways, we'll go out. They can

257
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: bring in Brian Dable or whoever it's going to be,

258
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: Eric b Enemy. I don't care who it is, but

259
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: let's just it's been fun. Urban, No disrespect to you,

260
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 2: love seeing you on the aw pay per views, but

261
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: it's time for you to bounce.

262
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

263
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: I think it sounds like Urban Meyer is more in

264
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: our burn book than James Runner.

265
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: That's true.

266
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean a guy that obviously relies on

267
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: lots of volume.

268
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: It's it's a tough look for him.

269
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: I am a little afraid starting I bunched him this

270
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: week actually, so yeah, it's a bummer.

271
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: All right.

272
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: The next guy we're going to talk about, we just

273
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: alluded to him, or you did, Kenny Galladay. I knew

274
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: it would be a supposed start for Galladay. He's coming

275
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: off of a hamstring injury, obviously, has been banged up

276
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: in the past a lot. But the Giants sent really

277
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: big in free agency, and so far they've gotten you know,

278
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: four of six herds for six yards and then three

279
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: of eight targets for thirty eight yards, so nothing really stellar.

280
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: He looks like the second man behind Sterling Shepherd, who's

281
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: actually looked really really good. Are two lackluster games enough

282
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: to land Galladay and your burn book?

283
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: It's funny because I'm putting him in a burn book

284
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: for sure, like writing mean things about him, mostly because

285
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: he used to play for the Lions, but enough personally

286
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: because I like Sterling Shepherd and I have a lot

287
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: of Sterling Shepherd shares. I love Kenny Galladay's presence because

288
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: I feel it's a it's a real expensive decoy, but

289
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: it has made the offense a little bit better, like

290
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: it does open it up. Like Daniel Jones looks like

291
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: he's you know, Cam Newton or Josh Allen or somebody

292
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: like that, the way he's running the football, and Kenny

293
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: Golladay helps that way. So I don't want to be

294
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: completely dismissive because he does help, but it's like as

295
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: a fantasy starter, like no way, do not start, Like

296
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: that says a big do not start, DNS, do not start.

297
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a very he's a very expensive decoy.

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: Like you said, he's a bummer. I'm definitely inventioning him

299
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: at this point.

300
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: All Right.

301
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: The final guy in our burn book segment is Mike Gasicki.

302
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: So I don't know how you stood on Kasiki going

303
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 4: into the year, but yeah, he's just scored just five

304
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 4: point six fantasy points over two weeks. Obviously that was

305
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 4: all last week. He baggled in the first week. Is

306
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,479
Speaker 4: he a borderline droppable at this point?

307
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if we if if you're showing the video,

308
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: but my body language should have said it all because

309
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: I just slump. I was so into Mike Gaseki, like

310
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: this is the one, Like you're totally into somebody. His

311
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: fantasy production sucks, That's what I'm going to say. I

312
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: always feel bad because I'm like, I'm sure these are

313
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: nice people, Like I always feel bad saying things about

314
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton because like I actually personally like Andy Dalton,

315
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: Like I've met him before and he's a really nice person.

316
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: But I just still wanted to be the quarterback of

317
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: the Bears. Like I love my son, he's three, I

318
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: don't want him to be the quarterback of the Bears.

319
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with Kasiki is like I was

320
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: so into it, Like I was so into this relationship,

321
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: and I feel like I'm the only one who's, you know,

322
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: putting any effort into it. And part of it was, yeah,

323
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: very one sided. It was Daniel Jeremiah's fault forgetting me

324
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: all hyper Thankfully, before Thursday nice game in Week one,

325
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: I saw that Rob Gronkowski was available in my League

326
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: of Record, so and this is a move that I

327
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: love to do, is I went and I picked up Gronkowski.

328
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: I was gonna do Giovanni Bnard, but I saw Gronk

329
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: and I'm like, my running backs are pretty so like

330
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it with Gronk because I love doing

331
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: this for Thursday night games. So I went app and

332
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: I picked them up just to see what would happen.

333
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: And then obviously I started Gaseiki got a zero.

334
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: I lost.

335
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: It was miserable, but then you're like, oh, Gronk's good,

336
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: so then I'd started Gronk this week and it's been

337
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: amazing ever since. I'm almost to the point where I

338
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: can drop Gasiki. And we thought that Kasiki could end

339
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: up being their best pass catcher, you know, like you

340
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: see with like how Darren Waller not as good as

341
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: Darren Waller but like Derek, like a knockoff, like a

342
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: Kirkland version of Darren Waller. I would definitely take that

343
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: getting funnel targets and everything like that. And it has not

344
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: been great. So yeah, burn, like burn personally, like this

345
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: one hurts, Like we all can sit there and think

346
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: about somebody in our lives where you're like you were

347
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: really into and it was not reciprocated, and how awful

348
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: that felt. And that's the way I feel with Mike

349
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: Kiseki right now. So it's it's really painful. Not only

350
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: am I going to write a my burn book about

351
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: how much Mike has has wronged me, then I'm gonna

352
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: set fire to it, make a little pire and put

353
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: it out in the Pacific Ocean.

354
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: That is quite strong.

355
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: Definitely a bummer for Siky owners managers.

356
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: Rather, I don't know which.

357
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: Announcer, by the way, this week kept calling him just sicky,

358
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: but that was killing me anyway.

359
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: That will do it for our burn book.

360
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: Our next segment is called full send or that's cap,

361
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: which is sort of the opposite of that one. I'm

362
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: going to give you five players whose values are on

363
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 4: the rise after a strong week or two. I want

364
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: to know, are you sending it on this player or

365
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: is that cap? So the first player is Derek Carr.

366
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: He was QB nine last week and is QB seven

367
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: right now going into the last game. This Raiders offense

368
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: is just firing on all cylinders. It's like the complete

369
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: anti Dolphins at this point most yards of total offense

370
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: per game right now? Is Car as a QB one

371
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: for Fantasy cap or are you going full send on car?

372
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Full Send? I love Derek Carr. I think that this

373
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: is oh my gosh, this is one of the first times.

374
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: That he's had a nice compliment of players around him.

375
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: And I know it's frustrating for people because it's not

376
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: outside of Darren Waller, there's not somebody who's reliable week

377
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: to week Fantasy wise, and even you know, Darren Waller

378
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: battle an injury yesterday. But at the same time, like

379
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: the Henry Ruggs play is a perfect example, like you

380
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: can't start Henry Ruggs week to week, but he has

381
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: that ability to go out and stretch the field like

382
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: you did. Kenyan Drake could not run the ball yesterday,

383
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: but still as great as a receiver out of the backfield.

384
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: So I look at it and Brian Edwards, you know

385
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: when he's available and ready to go, like, he's great

386
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: as well. Hunter Renfro makes amazing plays. It's an annoying

387
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: team and I don't want to, I don't want to

388
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: compare it to the Patriots, but it's in that same

389
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: vein of like, oh, this offense is clicking, but there's

390
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: really nobody outside of one or two guys that we

391
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: can really trust except Derek is one of them. And

392
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: I think that you know, couple of years ago, he

393
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: was a damn near MVP candidate and now he had

394
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: to bounce around some coordinators. And I think the relationship

395
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: with John Gruden takes a long time to grow, and.

396
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: You can still see Gruden hates his quarterbacks.

397
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: Eric was trying to hug him yesterday and John Gruden

398
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: didn't want any part of it. It was amazing because

399
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: it's just like you can just see it, But I

400
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: love Derek Henry. I'm gonna go full send for sure.

401
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 4: I am also going full send on Derek Carr. So

402
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 4: the next guy we're going to talk about is Tyson Williams.

403
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 4: He has finished as R WE nine in R WEB

404
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: sixteen and a half PPR. Are you going full send

405
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: on Williams as a rest of season borderline RB one

406
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 4: with most of the Ravens backfield injured, or will Latavius

407
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: Murray cannibalize some of those carries making this more into

408
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: a committee?

409
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: Now, I'm full send on Tyson Williams. Tyson Williams, I

410
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: you know what, I really love what I've seen out

411
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: of him. I thought he's been playing fantastic. He's currently

412
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: in PPR the RB eleven. I think he's tied for that,

413
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: and that's great. That's exactly what we want. And honestly,

414
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: if you drafted JK. Dobbins, you knew there was still

415
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: going to be situations where Gus Edwards was going to

416
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: factor in, where Justice Hill could also factor in, and

417
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: Lamar runs as well, so you already know when you're

418
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: getting a Ravens running back, it's a little bit different.

419
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: It's like it's the difference between going to Del Taco

420
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: or going to an authentic Mexican place like this is

421
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: that good?

422
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Like it's different.

423
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: It's a low Budgs version, but that's the way the

424
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 2: Ravens running backs are always going to be. So the

425
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: price that you played for Tyson Williams was a waiver

426
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: wire pickup or the fifteenth round, depending on whenever you

427
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: were picking. And it's a great option. And I think

428
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: that as an RB two is a flex guy moving forward,

429
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: He's perfect for that role. And I don't have any

430
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: hesitation in the matchup this week is going to be

431
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: against the Detroit Lions. You've given up the most Fantasy

432
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: points to running back since twenty twenty. That's before the

433
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: Packers game. I can't assume they're shutting down Aaron Jones.

434
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: And even if they do, I don't care. I'm starting

435
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: Tyson this week and moving forward, I.

436
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 3: Am living for these analogies.

437
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 4: By the way, all right, the next guy is Rondelle Moore.

438
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: So finishes wide receiver six this week and half PPR.

439
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: Perhaps more surprising is that as the at least what

440
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: we thought was going to be the wide receiver for

441
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: in this offense, he has somehow had more targets than

442
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green and Christian Kirk. So are you

443
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 4: going full send on more as a viable starter each

444
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 4: week or is this kind of just a one hit

445
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: wonder type thing.

446
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to full send this. I love

447
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: this player and I love the situation. And in Week

448
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: one I knew this was going to happen. Once Christian

449
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: Kirk scored two touchdowns, I told everybody, I'm like, go

450
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: grab Rondale Moore And people are like, You're an idiot,

451
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: why would you do that. I'm like, well, we've seen

452
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: enough of Christian Kirk, Like we know that this is

453
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: not sustainable. So people are going to panic and they're

454
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: going to pivot. They're going to go pick up Christian

455
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: Kirk and do all this stuff like it is not

456
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: going to happen. Rondale Moore is going to end up

457
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: being the number two, the complimentary guy, and they really

458
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: need one because DeAndre Hopkins, what was it last season

459
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: was thirty five percent?

460
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Other like that's inpop No, that's not happening again.

461
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: So I don't think I have any DeAndre Hopkins shares

462
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: because one of my strategies going into the season was

463
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: waiting and just taking Rondale Moore super late, you know,

464
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: either him or Elijah Moore. But I kind of liked

465
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Rondale because of just better looking at the better offense.

466
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it basically comes down to.

467
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: So I love it. I'm a full send with him.

468
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult.

469
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: I do know that a lot of people in the

470
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: leagues I play with, they are going to be rushing

471
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: to the waiver wire this week, like, oh no, ranks

472
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: got up?

473
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: All right, next got we're to talk about.

474
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a popular waiver ad

475
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: this week is Jad McKissick. So he is currently RB

476
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: five after a strong Thursday night showing that came mostly

477
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 4: through the aircop five or six targets for eighty three yards,

478
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: finished with nine touches for nine for all purpose yards

479
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: in a touchdown, while Gibson saw fifteen touches for seventy

480
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: three scrimmage yards.

481
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: So is McKissick another one hit wonder or.

482
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: Should managers spend a lot of their fab this week

483
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: on him?

484
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

485
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: It's kind of like listening to AHA and they played

486
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: take on Listen. I know that sounded I should I

487
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: should update that reference. You know, that's that's what way

488
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: to reach out to the kids. They're gonna be aha,

489
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: like what is that it take on me? He's probably

490
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: been covered by thirteen different bands by this point. It's

491
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: Carly Ray Jepson call me maybe, I don't know.

492
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Here's my thing. I like JD.

493
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: McKissick, and I like him a lot last season Week sixteen,

494
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: when Antonio Gibson went down, he was somebody who carried

495
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: us through the Fantasy football playoffs. You know when they

496
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: throw up that graphic like the leading running backs in

497
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: Week sixteen, where Alvin Kamara obviously because of the Christmas

498
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: Day performance, and then it was like Jeff Wilson, Junior

499
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: Savon Akhmed, Jad McKissick, samaj p Ryan Giovanni like that

500
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: the groom.

501
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like you know so. But this again,

502
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: like I was.

503
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: Saying before with Rob Gronkowski this week, I always because

504
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: if you're streaming a defense and you don't need to

505
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: carry them, go and pick up these pop possible pop players.

506
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: And last week it was JD McKissick like who knows,

507
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: like he could go off and then all of a sudden,

508
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: I dropped the defense. It was tough because I'm like, oh,

509
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: I ended up having to drop James Connor because of this.

510
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, what am I going to do? But

511
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: I have Jad McKissick now because I picked him up

512
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: on or Thursday morning. No, everybody's going to go to

513
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: the waiver wire and they'd be like, how does rank

514
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: do this and so like even this week, and that

515
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: this is unsightly and it's not a cool thing to do.

516
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: But if Tis Marshall Junior is available in your league,

517
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: you should pick him up. He probably will be he

518
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of targets. You can pick up

519
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Tuba Howard. You know, if whoever has Christian McCaffrey doesn't

520
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: have his handcuff, you can go pick him up. And again,

521
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: depending on your league. I know ESPN won't let you

522
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: drop a player who has already played, but I do

523
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: know that I'm Yahoo and NFL dot Com you can

524
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: drop players who've played as long as they're not in

525
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 2: your starting lineup.

526
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: So, just as a word, I don't know about sleeper either.

527
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 2: I should try that out with them, but if your

528
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: league allows you to do that, that is something to

529
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: look at. But I think Jad McKissick will have a role,

530
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: but I think it's going to come in very similar

531
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: to what happened last season, where if you have injuries,

532
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: if you really if you're in that one of those

533
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: weeks where there's six teams on a buy and you

534
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: need a streamer or something like that, I don't believe

535
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: that JD can be somebody who's going to week to

536
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: week be consistent and at the same time, because they

537
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: got a tough matchup this week against who Buffalo.

538
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: I think it is.

539
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: It's also a thing too, like everybody's freaking out way

540
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 2: too hard about Antonio Gibson to the point of like

541
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: I would go try to get him off people. I

542
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: know people are upset with him, and especially when it's

543
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game and it stands out Friday morning.

544
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: I was sending out trade requests for Saquan and Antonio Gibson,

545
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: like I'll take them. If you guys are not upset,

546
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: like I'll take them, send them along. And so for Mikissic,

547
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: I guess I got to be a little bit of

548
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 2: a cap which I don't like to do. It's nothing personal.

549
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: I just don't think that what he did was sustainable.

550
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he deserves the Elijah Mitchell treatment

551
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: on week Yeah, speak no, all right. The last I

552
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: we're going to talk about is a guy you have

553
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: mentioned now twice. It's Rob Gronkowski. So he's tightened two

554
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 4: through two weeks and have PPR behind Travis Kelsey and

555
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 4: has four touchdowns, but is the third most targeted player

556
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 4: on the team. Are we going full son on Gronk

557
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 4: as a top tier tight end one or are you

558
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: a little bit concerned about him down the line in

559
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: terms of injuries or I guess what are your.

560
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: Thoughts on Gronk. Obviously you did pick him up, and

561
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: that's very awesome for you.

562
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: I'm so ecstatic about it. So I love Gronk full send.

563
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: He is the nicest guy. He's one of my favorite

564
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: players in the NFL. He's probably I mean, if he's

565
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: not my he's one of my favorite players in the

566
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: NFL and has been for quite some time. Obviously, with Gronk,

567
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: there is going to be the the looming, the sword

568
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: of damicles of the injuries.

569
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: You know, he's a violent type of player. He's a

570
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: big dude.

571
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: He's not he's not shy around contact. Things are gonna happen,

572
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: and you know what, that's fine. I'm just gonna enjoy

573
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: it while I'm here. I don't want to be like

574
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 2: I don't like when people when you whenever you go out,

575
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: Like if you're going out and you're out there pounding

576
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 2: white claws or whatever you kids do, and there's somebody

577
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: who's there who's gonna be.

578
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: A bummer, it's gonna be like, oh man, like I

579
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: gotta I.

580
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 2: Gotta work three days from now, or they got there,

581
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: they're not You're not enjoying the moment like I I

582
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: always like I want to sit there and if I'm

583
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: sitting there pounding a double I p A or whatever

584
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm doing, like, I want to enjoy the moment.

585
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to think about tomorrow.

586
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to think about this or like, just

587
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: enjoy what's happening while it's happening. There will there will

588
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: come a time where we're gonna have to be We're

589
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna have to listen. We're gonna have to

590
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 2: sit there and be like we need a tight end

591
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: for this week, whether it's the bye week or he

592
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: gets injured or whatever it is. And I'm not trying

593
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: to speak that into existence. But because of the bye weeks,

594
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: there will be at least one chance that you have

595
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: to find a tight end.

596
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm gonna worry about it.

597
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: Then I'm gonna let Week four Adam worry about that,

598
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: because Week three Adam is living in the moment and

599
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: is starting Rob Gronkowski in a full sin.

600
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: So for me, that's the way.

601
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: That I that's the way that I choose to operate

602
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: and the way that I want to live my life.

603
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: I love that double I pa U Hipster. It's all

604
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: all on.

605
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: That's that's because you know, I'm trying to I'm trying

606
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: to stay spelt number one and you only need one,

607
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to be the guy like no

608
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: disrespect to Michelobultra, who kind of sends me free stuff

609
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: all the time. But if you need a session, like

610
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: if you're gonna be drinking all afternoon, have Michelobultra their

611
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: ninety calories. It's delicious, it's fine. But mostly like my

612
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: life now, I've got too young, I got two toddlers.

613
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't have time to do a lot of stuff,

614
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: so I got to You got to make the most

615
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: of your opportunity, and it is one of those things

616
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: like having a double IPA is like having a running

617
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: back that has an add like a high yards per carry,

618
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 2: like every time he touches the ball, it's nine yards

619
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: of carry.

620
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Like cool.

621
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: I only need him to carry the ball five times

622
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: for this to work out, as opposed to needing the

623
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: miickel of ultra back to get twenty carries to get

624
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: you over the goal line. So that's that's wrong for me.

625
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

626
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 3: I know the story.

627
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Drink smart, Drink smart.

628
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Adam, we have eight more rapid fire

629
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 4: questions and we will get we'll get you back to

630
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: your TikTok.

631
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: I like that. You said eight rapid fire. Like this

632
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: has been anything but I love it. And by the way,

633
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: don't cut this out either. Sammy is so sweet. She's like,

634
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna get you in and out.

635
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna do this rapid fire and whatever. I'm like,

636
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: you obviously don't know me, Like this is going to

637
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: go on for quite some time because I cannot shut up.

638
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: I cannot. There's not a tangent that I won't walk down.

639
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: Well, this is great hashtag content, so love it. All right.

640
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: Next up here on the Fantasy Fux, it's a new

641
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 4: segment we call Elite Entries where we will dive into

642
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 4: the picksapp to build some entries. And for any listeners

643
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 4: unfamiliar with chriz picks, it's just a super simple way

644
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: to play DFS.

645
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: You choose the picks you like and you build your entry.

646
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: You can go with two, three, four, or even five picks,

647
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 4: and your payout is going to be based on how

648
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: big your lineup is and how much you ricks, So

649
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: it's super simple. I'm going to identify some markets I like.

650
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: You build your own prize picked centries and all of

651
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 4: us have a little fun and make some money.

652
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: So today I am going.

653
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: To look at three NFL Week three quarterback plays on

654
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: Prize Picks.

655
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: The first play that I like is Teddy Bridgewater over.

656
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: Two hundred and fifty five and a half passing yards

657
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 4: at home versus the Jets. So the Jets aren't exactly

658
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: the Fantasy Cheek code they used to be on defense.

659
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: But Bridgewater has been super impressive through two games.

660
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: He's completed twenty eight of thirty six for two sixty

661
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: four yards and a two touchdowns against the Giant and

662
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: twenty six of thirty four for three hundred and twenty

663
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 4: eight yards and two touchdowns versus the Jaguars and has

664
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: been turnover free. The Broncos have an absurdly easy start

665
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: this year without scheduled Giants, Jaguars, and Jets, and I

666
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: think they keep it rolling this week.

667
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: So I like Bridgewater to go over.

668
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: The next one that I like is Derek Carr to

669
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 4: go over two hundred and seventy and a half passing.

670
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: Yards at home versus the Dolphins.

671
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: This Raiders offense has been firing on all cylinders.

672
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: The team just put up has put up the most yards.

673
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 4: Of offense per game in the NFL, doing large part

674
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 4: to Carr, who has been who has had one four

675
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five yard game against Baltimore and another

676
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 4: three hundred and eighty two yard game in Pittsburgh. So

677
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 4: the Raiders just have so many weapons. So two hundred

678
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: seventy yards against the Dolphins this week just feels like

679
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: nothing to me.

680
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: I also like Davis Mills to.

681
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 4: Go under one hundred ninety nine and a half passing

682
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: yards at home versus the Panthers. So Davis wasn't terrible

683
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: stepping in for an injured Tyrod Taylor, but he wasn't

684
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 4: great either. He completed eight of eighteen passes for one

685
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: hundred and two yards, one touchdown in one interception. Taylor

686
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: has already rolled out for this Thursday night matchup and

687
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson is going to play, So Mills is going

688
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: to have to face the Panthers on a short week

689
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: in prime time. It is a tough spot against this

690
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: Carolina defense which has actually allowed the fewest passing yards

691
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 4: per game this year and just held Jameis Winston to

692
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: one hundred and eleven yards it zero touchdowns and two interceptions.

693
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: I just do not foresee a scenario where Mills hits

694
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 4: over two hundred passing yards in his first NFL start,

695
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 4: all right, So that is our elite entry for today,

696
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: going with Teddy Bridgewater over two hundred and fifty five

697
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 4: and a half passing yards at home versus the Jets,

698
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 4: Derek Carr over two hundred seventy and a half passing

699
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: yards at home versus the Dolphins, and Davis Mills under

700
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: one hundred ninety nine and a half passing yards at

701
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: home versus the Panthers. As a reminder, you can mix

702
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 4: match fantasy points and player pops to make your lineups

703
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: super spicy. Also, Price six markets move, so you will

Speaker 3: All right, let us just keep it moving on here

714
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: on twenty one questions.

715
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: First question here in this list of questions, name one

716
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: player you just can't quit or who you find yourself

717
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: making excuses for all the time. So for me, that

718
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: is Jill Nixon.

719
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, well, it definitely wouldn't be that player

720
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: for me. I'm trying to think Clyde Edwards E Layer

721
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: coming into this season was one of those players from me.

722
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying.

723
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: I oh man, there's got to be Why can't I

724
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: think of somebody? It's got to be a running back,

725
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: I guess, David, I always feel like I have to

726
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: die on a hill for David Montgomery, and when you're

727
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: writing a start sitcom, I always feel like I have

728
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: to talk about him, probably more than anybody else. And

729
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: I think that people are just so quick to dismiss him,

730
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: like they just it feels like people want him to fail.

731
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: And so I always feel like David Montgomery is a player,

732
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: Like week in and week out, I'm always like, Nope,

733
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: stay in the course with him. There's no way that

734
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to back off from him. Jalen Hurts was

735
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: another coming into this season that I thought that again

736
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: people were acting like and this was during draft, This

737
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: was like NFL draft season, and like NFL draft scouts

738
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: being like, well, all the Eagles might look at quarterback.

739
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, why they used the second round pick on

740
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: this guy? Like he's a good player, Like this is ridiculous.

741
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: He's also looked great this year.

742
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: I mean, this is seven percent completion rate already, and

743
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: I'm just I've been impressed.

744
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: And he has also been one of my rider dies.

745
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: By the way, another one I should Okay, I figured

746
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: it out, rese. I reverse engineered this Raheem Mostert was

747
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: one of my guys I would never quit on and

748
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: you know what, and it I and it sucks because

749
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: people took such great pleasure in him getting hurt in

750
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: week one, like too you told to I'm like, you

751
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: know what, like he's playing a very violent game.

752
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: You cannot victory lab injuries like that is just absolute calf.

753
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: All right, Predict when the Bears will win their next

754
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: Super Bowl.

755
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to say in twenty twenty four. I really

756
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: do believe that Justin Fields makes a huge difference. And

757
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 2: to me, it's not a coincidence that when Justin Fields

758
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: it looked like they're going to have to go to him,

759
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: that defense started playing phenomenally. Eddie Jackson, you know, did

760
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: the peanut punch, Rokwan Smith had.

761
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: The pick six. The defense was active.

762
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: They picked off Joe Burrow on three consecutive three consecutive passes,

763
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: And so to me, that was I think that stuff

764
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 2: just it just washes over a team that a defense

765
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: just feels like we're in it now, Like you just

766
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: get a little bit more juice when the guy that

767
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: you know should be playing is out there playing. Like

768
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: when Andy Dalton was working on his knee, the only

769
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: guy out there talking to him was the punter. Ped

770
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: O'Donnell was being the good guy, like, hey, dude, are

771
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: you cool like the rest.

772
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: Of the teams like police, don't go back into this game.

773
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm not in a bad way.

774
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 2: Like we like Andy Dalonis and he's been a great

775
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: teammate and he's been great with Justin. I just think that,

776
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: you know what, it just takes a little bit of

777
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: time for these young quarterbacks to kind of develop. I

778
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: know that people will look at the interception that he

779
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: threw yesterday that kind of got the Bengals back into

780
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: the contest. The Angelo Hall put it perfectly on our

781
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: postgame show where he's like, you know what, that would

782
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: have fooled ninety percent of NFL quarterbacks, Like that's the

783
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing that Justin just needs experience dealing with

784
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: NFL players doing stuff like that because he had Cole Comett.

785
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: I think it was Cole Comett wide open, Like if

786
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: that guy had not dropped in the coverage, that's a

787
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: first down. He learns from that. Next time, he could

788
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: probably just drop it in a bucket instead of trying

789
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: to thread the needle.

790
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: So it'll take a couple of years, but I think

791
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: the Bears are going to get there.

792
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 3: Love it.

793
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: I had another Bears fan on this podcast, Jeremy Lee,

794
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 4: and I think you know him as well.

795
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: He was like, oh, next year, it's.

796
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: Happening next year, all right, I'm trying to be somewhat realistic.

797
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: Even twenty twenty four doesn't seem realistic, but I'm trying

798
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: to be that way. But that that, I think that

799
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: would also be a possible Vegas super Bowl or a

800
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: New war Actually New Orleans is coming up in the

801
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: mix too, so it's Los Angeles this year, it's Los Angeles,

802
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 2: then Arizona, and then I think there's an open year

803
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: and then New Orleans. So hopefully by like New Orleans,

804
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: it would be you know, back when the Bears won

805
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: their only super Bowl was in New Orleans.

806
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: It would make perfect sense. So of it.

807
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 3: There's great symmetry there.

808
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: There.

809
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 4: You go, give us one Bears player who you think

810
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: is underrated for fantasy.

811
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: I was about to just launch into Rokuan Smith. But

812
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: underrated for fantasy. I will say that if cole Comet

813
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: can continue, can continue to develop. Although you know what,

814
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 2: Jimmy Graham is a nice player. Like I I'm really

815
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: astounded by, you know, how good he can be. Still

816
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's bounced around so many teams and

817
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: you just kind of like, ah, you know, you you

818
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: throw away you know, mostly in you know, not being

819
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: able to click with Aaron Rodgers made everybody think that

820
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: it was his fault when you're like, outside of Bob Tunyan,

821
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: like nobody's played well with Aaron Rodgers at the tight

822
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: end position. But there are times where you see him

823
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: and he's he's such a great like he's so he's

824
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: such a like a huge advantage in the red zone.

825
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, why is he not a little bit better?

826
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: Like why are we not getting more touchdowns? So I

827
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: really hope that now it feels like, you know, Justin

828
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: Fields has to be the starter. If he's starting this week,

829
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: there's no use in ever going back to Andy Dalton.

830
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: I think that Jimmy Graham could end up being like

831
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: somebody who's like, okay, like that's I mean, he's gonna

832
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: be real touchdown dependent. But I think that he's somebody

833
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 2: who could be a problem.

834
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: Awesome, all right, So was Joe Flacco ever really yes

835
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: or no?

836
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: I would say so, I you know what, Joe Flacco

837
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: was very good in the playoffs and for a stretch,

838
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: and honestly, they were one of the biggest rivals to

839
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 2: the Patriots in the AFC for a number of years.

840
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: They were the ones that were always good. I know

841
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: the Jets had their moments too, but Joe Flacco was

842
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: very good in the playoffs, he won a super Bowl.

843
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: It was a limited career, like a limited window of

844
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: when he was elite. It's like a band that comes

845
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: out and just has like one like they're good, they

846
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 2: have a great album, and then they just kind of

847
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: their follow up albums are kind of terrible. I think

848
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: Guns and Roses kind of falls into that category, like

849
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: people don't want.

850
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: To although but you would not know. I trust say.

851
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 2: It reminds me too, although he was great through through

852
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: the entirety of his career. But David Bowie, you know,

853
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: when he passed away.

854
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: I remember, like, this is not what you this is.

855
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: I know you were asking about Joe Flacco and then

856
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: somehow I've turned this into a David Bowie chat.

857
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: But I will say this, and I say this a

858
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: lot of time.

859
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: Anytime a musical artist like this passes away, be like,

860
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: you know, the band that you like right now got

861
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: into music because of Bowie. So go listen to him,

862
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: and the people were like, Oh my god, who is this.

863
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: I've never heard of this person. He's awesome, And I

864
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: think that's maybe the way we'll talk about Joe Flacco.

865
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: Maybe in a number of years, like there'll be another

866
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: generation who just become and just starts celebrating Joe Flacco.

867
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: Like there'll be somebody like there's there right now in

868
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: some elementary school, there's a fifth grader who a number

869
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: of years from now will be a fantasy analyst and

870
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 2: be like, you know what, I was looking through the

871
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: numbers of the early two thousands and in the twenty teens,

872
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: and this Joe Flacco guy actually had an amazing playoff

873
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: run and nobody ever talks about it.

874
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: That'll be that.

875
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: And then people who work coffee shops will be wearing

876
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco T shirts and some boomer will walk in

877
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: and be like, you know, Joe Flacco perfect, so yes,

878
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: for a limited time, for a limited time, he was elite.

879
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: Fair enough, all right?

880
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 4: Will any Bears player finish in the top five at

881
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: their respective positions for Fantasy?

882
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: I honestly believe David Montgomery will be that person, especially

883
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: with Justin Fields at quarterback. I think that's going to

884
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: open up a whole new dimension of the playbook.

885
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: Last week or in Week two. It was a couple

886
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: of days ago with.

887
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: Andy d Andy Dalton was running a bit more and

888
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: he hurt himself, so maybe he shouldn't have been. But

889
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: you still, even when Andy Dalton's running well, it's not

890
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 2: like teams are like we don't care, Like Andy Dalton

891
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 2: can run all day, We're still stopping David Montgomery. That's

892
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: not going to be an option when Justin Fields is

893
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: a quarterback. And that's going to open up that playbook immediately.

894
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: And I think that Matt Naggy is going to be

895
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: smart enough to realize this, like okay, and then it's

896
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: going to open up holes for David Montgomery and he's

897
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: gonna go out there and he's gonna have a great season.

898
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 2: The true test will be this week against the Cleveland Browns,

899
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: who've been very tough against opposing running backs so far

900
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: this season. I am going to go with David Montgomery

901
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: this week. I'm not going to bench him or anything.

902
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: I know I'll get a lot of questions about it.

903
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: Start them, and I think you'll be able to start

904
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 2: them for the.

905
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: Rest of the season.

906
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm super scited about this Bears offense with Justin Fields obviously,

907
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: even as a.

908
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: Non Bears fan.

909
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that they were one of those teams

910
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: that maybe kind of similar like Washington, that you could

911
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: get a discount on because people just assumes that their

912
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: offenses were just like not great for so long, like

913
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: a Mitch Trubisky led Bears team. No one's really sexy

914
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: on that team. But yeah, no, it's it's been really awesome.

915
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 4: And I got David Montgomery at quite a discount this year.

916
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: Nice.

917
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: Who should be manager's top weaver ad this week?

918
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: I think Rondale Moore should be your number one person.

919
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: I think if you're really hurting for quarterback, you know,

920
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: if you have Tannehill, who we talked about earlier. I

921
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 2: really do like going out and seeing if Kirk Cousins

922
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: is available. He might not be because I've picked him up.

923
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: I've actually started him in a couple of leagues. Last year,

924
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins had eight games with at least three touchdown passes.

925
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: But I think people get scared off because the low

926
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 2: games are really low. But it's like, yeah, that's what happens,

927
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: That's what happens with these quarterbacks like that outside of

928
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: the elite guys. And it's funny because everybody says, wait

929
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: on a quarterback, but there's only like three guys that

930
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: you know are going to be great every week, and

931
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of down games

932
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: for guys that even we think are good. And honestly,

933
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: if I have you know, it's something like I don't

934
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know this is we're talking about, but.

935
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: Like Justin Herbert sort of scares me. Like if you

936
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: drafted Justin Herbert, I'm now.

937
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 2: Looking at this situation and being like, ah, I'm gonna

938
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: grab Kirk Cousins, I'm gonna grab Daniel Jones by the way,

939
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: Like if you need a quarterback, oh yeah, I don't

940
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 2: know whoever you are, who you might have lost. Daniel

941
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: Jones actually might be a top pick up at quarterback

942
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 2: because you gotta like he has to start this week

943
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: going up against the Falcons, and again, my weabrow or

944
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: call him like, I don't think that that's too hot

945
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: of a take to say that either, and even and

946
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: if he's gonna run like this and we know that

947
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: he's had the ability he had that famous flub against

948
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, Daniel Jones might be worth starting like

949
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: almost every week, not every week, but still I love

950
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 2: that take.

951
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna clip this and put it on Twitter. Oh

952
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: my god, I'm just kidding. All right, that's fine.

953
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 4: Give me one player who you think is primed for

954
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 4: a big fantasy season next year.

955
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: Oh next year. I think that Darnell Mooney. I'll just

956
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: keep it bears uh and make it real simple. Darnell

957
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: Mooney is going to be a player that I think

958
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: is going to have an opportunity.

959
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: It's so frustrating to me because.

960
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney and Alan Robinson both had chances in the

961
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: end zone yesterday, and I think that Chicago would have

962
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: come unglued if those touchdowns had been converted and they

963
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: ended up blowing out the Bengals and Justin Fields had

964
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: two touchdowns and everything like that. We all so we'll

965
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: be starting to talk about Justin Fields as the quarterback,

966
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 2: Like outside of that sinko, like that top five of quarterbacks,

967
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: Like where does Justin Fields goes? Like who's going to

968
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: be firing in on him? Especially given how he's he's

969
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: going to be able to play? So I think that

970
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: he's going to be good.

971
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: I think that.

972
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: I think Zach Wilson at some point is going to

973
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 2: end up being a really good player as well.

974
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: I know that it was difficult yesterday, but well, you

975
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: know what.

976
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: Be playing Bill Belichick who shuts down rookie quarterbacks.

977
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: Remember remember last year the Patriots beat the Chargers forty

978
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 2: five to nothing at that game, right.

979
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 4: Way too much exposure to the Chargers in one league.

980
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 3: And I missed the playoffs because of that. Oh I

981
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 3: knew I should, but like I didn't have other.

982
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 4: Other options, Like I just I had already lost Dak

983
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: in that league, and Justin Herbert was my only other quarterback.

984
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: And why would you wouldn't you could even think?

985
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: And I and I remember even writing about this last

986
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: year going into that game, where you were like, hey,

987
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: like Belichick's always good against rookies, so dfs absolutely not

988
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: not touching him. But I'm not going to the waiver

989
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: wire and picking up another quarterback. And I have Justin.

990
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: I have Justin Herbert in a couple of dynasty leagues,

991
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what the I'm like, I'm.

992
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: A little bit concerned.

993
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 2: I knew it, and I'm like, you got to remember too,

994
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: like the Chargers were playing it like everybody played at

995
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: empty stadiums last year and it was different. And the

996
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 2: Chargers play eight Roague games at least, and you know,

997
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: our office is outside of Sofi Stadium. You could hear

998
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: the roar every time Dallas did something good. And it's

999
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 2: not just a Cowboys thing. It's gonna be that way

1000
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: when the Raiders are there, when the Chiefs are there,

1001
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 2: and the Broncos when the Broncos are there. And actually

1002
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 2: yesterday was probably the best crowd for the Chargers because

1003
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 2: it was their first home game in Sofi Stadium. So

1004
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 2: I think that people were less hesitant to give up

1005
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: tickets like I found that the week before, Like people

1006
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: Rams fans didn't want to give up their tickets, but

1007
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 2: now the Rams fans will, I'll hold on to their tickets.

1008
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: But if the Chargers continue to charger, and they'll you know,

1009
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: like when the Raiders come to town, there's a Monday

1010
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 2: night game Raiders Chargers, and I think the Charger fans

1011
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 2: are going to want to be like, I don't want

1012
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: to deal with Raider fans. I don't want to go

1013
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: on a Monday night and fight traffic that crowd. If

1014
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: that crowd is not seventy five percent Raider fans, I

1015
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: will be shocked, shocked, I tell you, Sammy, I feel

1016
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: terrible for calling you Sammy.

1017
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't feel terrible at all. A right, we

1018
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 3: have two more questions. How many attempts would it take

1019
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: you to make an extra point?

1020
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: The one? Oh wow, college are pro college? Easy? Pro?

1021
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: I could still nail a pro one I get still booting.

1022
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: We've done it?

1023
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we actually did that on Fantasy Live one time.

1024
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 2: Who was we were having I think it was Phil Dawson.

1025
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: Phil Dawson was on and we're like, hey, Phil, like

1026
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 2: we filmed this earlier. I went to Culver City High

1027
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: School and kicked one and he was impressed. He's like,

1028
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: you kicked that extra point. He's like, you took almost

1029
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 2: too many steps that would have been blocked, but you

1030
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: made it.

1031
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 3: Could you do it in full pads?

1032
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Do you think I would do the kicker pads and

1033
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: be fine?

1034
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: Nice? Awesome?

1035
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 4: It's funny because I feel like there are some people

1036
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 4: who have actually attempted it that I've asked, and there

1037
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 4: are it's you and Benjamin Albright, who is on and

1038
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: like you both were like, oh, one try and then

1039
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 4: everyone else has been like it would take me infinity,

1040
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 4: like it would take me the whole day.

1041
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: No, yeah, it's not as hard. It's not as difficult

1042
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: as you would think.

1043
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 4: It is fair enough, all right. Finally, if you had

1044
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: one cardinal rule you could tell someone just getting into

1045
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 4: fantasy this year, what would it be?

1046
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: Trust Patriots running backs here.

1047
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because like that is because people

1048
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: that is one of the things that people always say

1049
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 2: they never I never take a Patriots running back.

1050
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, then you're losing.

1051
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: Out because they they're today it was great and there's

1052
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 2: not a lot of teams that run the ball more

1053
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: than the Patriots, and nobody runs the ball more than

1054
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: them when they get inside the five yard line. To me,

1055
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 2: it is one of those things like people, you know,

1056
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: not to pick on the gen Z kids, but everybody

1057
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 2: wants the easiest thing all the time, and I'm like,

1058
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 2: you know it, sometimes it takes a little work, and

1059
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 2: there's gonna be op there's gonna be games where you're

1060
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: not gonna probably play Damien Harris or anything like that,

1061
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 2: or you know, it's it's a little risky.

1062
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's super easy.

1063
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: You know what, you want to sit there, you want

1064
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: to drive, you want to go to Dunkin Donuts, Like

1065
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: that's fine, go do it.

1066
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 1: You know what you're gonna get.

1067
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try this coffee shop and the bad side

1068
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: of town because I heard that their coffees are amazing

1069
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: and that's what I'm gonna do. And there's actually a

1070
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: donut shop over here. I'm gonna go get a coffee later.

1071
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: But like that's that's me though, Like I don't I'm

1072
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 2: not afraid, Like I'm not scared.

1073
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: I guess that's.

1074
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 2: Probably the bigger, like the bigger overarching thing is don't

1075
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: play fantasy scared, don't be afraid to make mistakes, don't

1076
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: try to be perfect.

1077
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: I knew.

1078
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: I know people who are very by the book, and

1079
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: they their teams are good, and they're in the playoffs

1080
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: every year. They make the playoffs every year, and they

1081
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: somehow never win championships because they never take risks on players.

1082
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: And there's going to be years like last year, I

1083
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: ended up going to a ton of title games. I

1084
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: actually lost every title game I was in last year.

1085
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: It was crazy, like it seems statistically impossible. I mean,

1086
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: obviously it's not, but I did it. But I like,

1087
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: if you look at my teams at the end of

1088
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: the year, there's a lot of number one seeds, and

1089
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of teams that don't make the playoffs

1090
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 2: because I don't play fantasy football scared. And I will

1091
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: just go out there and I'll tell you I'm I'm

1092
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: not risk averse, I'm risk seeking. I want the ceiling.

1093
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: Give me the players that are gonna win us a championship.

1094
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: Like you can sit there and pick a team and

1095
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: go eight and six every year and make the playoffs,

1096
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: and maybe you'll get lucky here and there, but it's

1097
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: just not the way that I choose to do my business.

1098
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 2: So I say, take the risk, have fun with it,

1099
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 2: and like it's one hundred dollars how much you're paying

1100
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: to buy in anyways, Like the course of a season,

1101
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: it's like ten dollars whatever. Play risky, play smart, and

1102
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 2: have fun with it.

1103
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,400
