Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. We'd like to

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: thank our special guest or Bob Labriola for dropping by

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: as he does every Wednesday. But now we're shifting gears

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: to fantasy football. Alright, some think Bob wants nothing to do. Uh,

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look around the league as we

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: do every Wednesday. About the injury news and roundups here

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: who is practicing who is not? Uh? Starting in San Francisco,

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell with that rib injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: This to me, Matt, when people talk about running backs

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: and how you can get them anywhere, and this is

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the this is a determining factor for me. Yes, you

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: can get a running back a lot of different places,

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: can they. You know, there's a reason why guys like

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell fall to the sixth round. He was a

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: very talented runner at Louisiana, but he was well, yeah,

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: limited in size, and smaller guys get hurt. You see

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: this a lot. You see a lot of flashes in

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: the pans. I saw you know, one of the national

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: guys tweeting out when when Kansas City was playing the Giants,

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: uh and Grant or not Grant? What the what was

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: the running back from Kansas City that was on their practice?

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: Gore has a couple of nice runs and this the

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: national guy tweets out. See, folks, this is why you

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: can get running backs anywhere. But the series insistently over

39
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. You know, that's

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the difference. There's a lot of unpeel here and I

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: know it's a fantasy segment, but there's a reason. If

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you look at the Hall of Fame running backs, I

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: think a higher percentage than any position, maybe than quarterback

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: their first round picks, you know, like and okay, I

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: mean the argument about are are you know, should use

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: the first round pick on a running back and all that.

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: People will say they the people that believe that you

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't say kickers are important too, But that doesn't mean

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: actually use the first round pick on them. I don't

50
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: buy that. That's that's a ridiculous. It's a ridiculous argument

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: for for one thing, um, and even a guy like Mitchell.

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Henry just got hurt. You know, anyone can

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: get hurt, and all in running backs all get hurt.

54
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Henry got hurt after like touches and two years. Right,

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: I think they got their money. Elijah Mitchell is ground

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: into a stump right now if he got eight hundred

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: touches over the next five years, right, I mean, even

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Kamara, like, did they really handle a huge workload?

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: McCaffrey keeps breaking down. Kamaras used very sparingly purposely in

60
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: that regard. But like I've been in those rooms, like sure,

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: we'd love to have Elijah Mitchell with James Conner with

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: somebody else, you know, yeah, but he can't be all

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. Anyway, which I mean actually kind of

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: a fantasy thing too, is like, Okay, all these backs

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about, you should pick up, you know,

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: whether it's the Eagles, dude, or one of the Titans

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: now or whomever. The Gore guy you mentioned, It's like, okay,

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: but expect to get two out two weeks out of him,

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: you know now. Don't think like, oh my my season

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: is essentially streaming at that point. Yeah right, I mean

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: everyone scrambled at that position unless you drafted out of

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: this world. You know, pick him up thinking you get

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: might get a couple of arts out of them, and

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: that's that's the way you have to view it. Uh.

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel with a calf injury, did not practice on Wednesday. Uh,

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: this is something that he's been dealing with. THEO didn't

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: seem to affect him last week. I mean, how many

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: receivers would you rather ha than him? Maybe two? I

79
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: don't care about the names. He's doing it every week,

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: every week, regardless of who's a quarterback regardless of of

81
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: who they're playing, maybe five guys. He's almost he's almost,

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: I hate to say somebody's matchup proof. But the way

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: they figure out ways to get him the football beyond

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: just catching it without question. You know, it's not like, oh,

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: he's just a downfield threat, or he's just you know,

86
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: catches the short ones or does this or that. They

87
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: find ways to to get him the football. You know,

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore of the Saints is having back to having

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: a great, great season, and he's shutting down top receivers. Well,

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: if the Niners played the Saints this week, it wouldn't

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: be like he's probably gonna have a slow day because

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: it's the way they use him. It's not all kinds

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff, like all kinds of stuff. It's not

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: like when they play the Rams. Jalen Ramsey's not gonna

95
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: follow him every inch of the of the field. You know,

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: it's just they use them really well. Yeah, Dawson Knocks

97
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: is kind of getting his way back here the right

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: direct um. He remains sidelined though for today's practice. I

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't come on him this week, I would

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, that could be a thing where you know

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: he he doesn't there's no reason for him to practice Wednesday.

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: You know, all you're gonna do is today's practice. Do

103
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: you take your time if you play? You know, they

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: get to the situation on Sunday if they feel like

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: the hand is good enough to play, then they can

106
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: play him. He can not practice all week long, you

107
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing they're I mean, they're absolutely

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: a contender. I thought it was pretty telling that they

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: didn't go add somebody you know on the chief. He's

110
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: gonna be back soon. It's gonna be soon. Yeah, and

111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: they love him. Yeah. Cole Beasley with ribs did not

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday for them. Uh, he's just been one.

113
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: That's the last couple of weeks. Yeah. And again almost unstoppable,

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: you know in that offense because you have to be

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: cognizant of Alan's running ability, right and now you know,

116
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: so your slut cornerback is covering this guy while also

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of keeping an eye out whether the quarterback is

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: going to tuck it and run. I mean, they are

119
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: such a hard offense to deal with because to no

120
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: fault of his own, he's a really good player. Beasley

121
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: is the fourth thing you worry about in that offense.

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I just want to mention

123
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: a Bill's fantasy nugget here real quick. I mean, first

124
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: of all, we talked about a lot their schedules wonderful.

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: I would be interested in Adam Zack Moss. I mean,

126
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: I know he's on the waiver wire, but I could

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: see his second half of the season being better than

128
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: the first. Um Manny Sanders killed us in the f

129
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: S this past year. This week, but if you can

130
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: get him for nothing to he's gonna be. It's just

131
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: a flukey week. Yeah, you know I agree. Uh, Taysom

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: Hill with that concussion return to practice on Wednesday. Shockingly enough,

133
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: he's got a him for fantasy. He was like a

134
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: twenty You can pince one twenty points every week for

135
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: him last Yeah, I mean he's the cheek. The only

136
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: problem is the games that he played last year, he

137
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: had Michael Thomas on the field, and he used Michael Thomas. Yeah,

138
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: their receivers are really bad. You're almost counting on Taysom

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Hill to be to just run run run. Who it

140
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: killed last year was Kamara because the goal line carries

141
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: and stuff and he apparently he has an issue throwing

142
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: stuff in the back, like to the flats. Well, he

143
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't get his he doesn't get his shoulders square

144
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: to make those throws because he's not a good quarterback.

145
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: R His throwing motion, his fundamentals are horrible. I mean,

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Hurts is a better thrower than him in my opinion.

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: But those guys don't dump in the running backs, they

148
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: just run, you know, which kills you. I mean like

149
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is the best ever, and Ben's in that

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: category now too. Well, I was dumb into the running back. Yeah, great,

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: what you want? Yeah? Um? And plus it hurts Kamara, Yeah,

152
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: I think it really hurts Kamara host of the way. Uh.

153
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: And then you had in the fact that they traded

154
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: for Melvin Ingram as well, he's not getting any goal

155
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: line carries anymore. And actually Kamara's usage when was the

156
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: lowest of the year of this patrity because they know

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: he's not every down player. Yeah, I would still if

158
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: I own Kamara right now, I would try to deal him.

159
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: You can still get something pretty, You can still get

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: something yeah nice. Maybe you can get a decent back end,

161
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: a receiver or you know, maybe you can get uh

162
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: not even know an Austin Ekela and then you probably

163
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: couldn't get r but probably not. But could you get

164
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: up with something you get? Yeah, could you get Joe

165
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: Mixon and a receiver for him? Probably? Yeah. He still

166
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: has a lot of name value, and he's got and

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: he scored a lot of points. He's still a very

168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: strong fantasy asset. If O'Dell lands in New Orleans, that

169
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: doesn't move the needle for quarterback or Odell or any

170
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: of these people, does it know? Neither. Julio Jones returned

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: to practice on Wednesday. How about that, Julio Jones practicing

172
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. I guess that's great news because he

173
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: never ever does. He's an I don't want to lump

174
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: them with O'Dell because one of them is a true

175
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: professional total star just for Fantasy World, though they're both

176
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of dead to me. Yeah, I think it's so

177
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: hard to trust uh Sam Donald, he's got the concussion

178
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: and a shoulder. I don't think he plays. Matt Rule

179
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: said he was extremely limited in Wednesday's practice. A lot

180
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: of p J Walker from what I heard today, Yeah,

181
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: it looks like perhaps they might get McCaffrey back. They

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: activated him to return. Um somehow the Patriots are favored

183
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: by four points in that game. It's in Charlotte. I

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: guess I get that, do you? I mean, because I

185
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: think they'll keep that thing closed. You get McCaffrey back,

186
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: That's that might make it want to make it an

187
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: even Stephen game. I could see the Patriots getting exposed

188
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: a little on that one. I mean, the more I

189
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: think about it, I haven't looked at the matchups enough

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: for this upcoming week. But how are the Patriots completing

191
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: any passes in that game? Right? I mean that's good?

192
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: And now Gilmore is there and those guys get the

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: whole team. Yeah, I don't know. I don't love the idea.

194
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Like I saw U stat today, d J. Moore's catchable

195
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: balls have dropped by like fifty the last three weeks.

196
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, like Donald's hurting that offense. And I don't

197
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: know if Walker is better or not, but it changes

198
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: and find horrible. It's not gonna be the worst thing.

199
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Can p J. Walker be worse than Sam Donald has

200
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: been the last few weeks? Probably not Probably that's the

201
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: bar you need to get over. I mean, he might

202
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: be a useful fantasy quarterback to right um Darren Waller

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: with the ankle injury, is back in practicing today. Okay,

204
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: so that's you had a smart talk. I mean, I

205
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: don't want harp too much on the rug situation, but

206
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: he's gone. He's no longer a Raider. He's not a

207
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: football player right now and should never be again, probably

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: won't be, probably will go to jail. Um, but we're

209
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: just talking fantasy. I think that helps Waller. It has

210
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: to help Edwards. Yeah, Brian Edwards should be somebody is

211
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: probably available in a lot of leagues here now, and

212
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: I like the player. He hasn't been super productive. Um.

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll be in the market for a speedster though,

214
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: Like I could see the Sean Jackson ended up there.

215
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: That would be the one that you know, would make

216
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Yeah, they still need to take

217
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the top off, and Rugs did that well as a player.

218
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: Ruggs was getting better. Yeah, Josh Jacobs with a chest

219
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: injury is practicing on Wednesday. Yeah, they're coming back off

220
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: a bye. He hopefully you think you'd be ready to go,

221
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: You would think so. He was trending the right direction too,

222
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: with his new coaching staff. More catches. He's another one

223
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: that was a better football player than fantasy. You think

224
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: that change, like the U thing, affects that can't hurt.

225
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if he gets two more targets a game,

226
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: that'd be massive for a guy like him. Yeah, he

227
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: might be a guy who to pick up. But he's

228
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: another one. He does not stay and trust him and

229
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: trust him to stay healthy. It's always something. Speaking of which,

230
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: let's move on to the Giants. Darius Tony with the thumb,

231
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: was limited in Wednesday's practice. I don't know if you

232
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: caught this. He got a cleat that's a cut on

233
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: his bomb, So I bet he plays. Sterling Shepherd is out,

234
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: he's got a quad. Kenny Golladay still hobbled with that knee. Uh.

235
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: They can't keep going, like it's really hard to. They

236
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: can't keep anybody healthy. No, it's a revolving door. And

237
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: they're kind of fortunate because including Ingram and Barkley and

238
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Ross who they picked up in Slaton, they have a

239
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. Yeah, I mean they really do. I mean,

240
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: I'd love to see what it looked like just with

241
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: everybody healthy for one game. You know, Barkley, well, he's

242
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. He's trying to get back to like, Oh,

243
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: he just keeps happening. Jalen Reagor Uh is not practicing

244
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday with the Eagles mentioned that yesterdays. Watkins, it's interesting. Yeah,

245
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: he's he's so boom or bust. But playing they're playing

246
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: the one. Um they're playing this week they're playing. Uh,

247
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm not certain. I'm not sure. Yeah, I thought I

248
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: was writing them not. I was gonna say the Lions.

249
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: They just played the Lions. Yeah, but they're not gonna

250
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: run like they did against the Lions. I mean that's

251
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: just because they were up early. I mean they're gonna

252
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: throw a lot. Um. Breagor's a bus to me. I

253
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: was wrong about him. I thought he was a really

254
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: good player coming out of school. Um, he can't get

255
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: off press coverage and he runs wrong routes and things

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: like that too. So Watkins, you know, I mean, I'm

257
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: looking for anyone I can start this week, A legit

258
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: four three guy. Yeah. Um, Donovan People's Jones with the

259
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: growing injury, returned to practice on Wednesday. They need him

260
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: get the boost, they need him bad. Yeah, if he

261
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: plays this week, I might start him, or we should

262
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: consider him for DFS. I mean, like he's a talented

263
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: dude that they like, and I think that factors in

264
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: their equation of we've had enough of Odell. Right, he's

265
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: probably trying the right way to just to do you know,

266
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: to play this week too. Yeah, Jason Kluckham for reporting

267
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: that the Browns are not willing to waive Odell Beckham. Uh,

268
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to reach a financial resolution with the what's

269
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: their plan here? I mean if they cut him, it's

270
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: it's like a fifteen million dollar cap hit, right, how Um,

271
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what their cap situation is, but can't

272
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: be good. They spend like crazy, right, and a lot

273
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: of you know for the for people who wonder about

274
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: things like that, whatever you don't spend this year, you

275
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: can roll over to next year. Well, they've got cap

276
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: issues next year when they have a quarterback, they need

277
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: to deal they pay a quarterback. They gotta do some

278
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: other stuff here and it might look a lot different. Yeah.

279
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you use up all your

280
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: available money left because you gotta cut Odell Beckham, Right,

281
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: it's the last thing you want to be using because everything,

282
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: all the signing bonus and stuff now kick into this year. Um,

283
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: you could run into some financial issues with that a

284
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: good point. Yeah, the last thing you gonna spend your

285
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: money on is kicking someone out of the bar, right right. Uh.

286
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott practicing today good news. I'd be shocked if

287
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. He should be bad. That seemed like

288
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: as close as you could get to play in last week.

289
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, it should be good to go against

290
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos this week. Not a great matchup, but not

291
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: a great matchup there one corner Callaghan got uh is

292
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: on I R two. They're they're losing people left and

293
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the end for Denver. Uh.

294
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Looking at a little Ravens news here. Sammy Walkins with

295
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the hamstring still sidelined. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm gonna make

296
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: one cowboy note too. I guess Gallup wasn't super healthy

297
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: last week and they think he'll be more involved this week.

298
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Is what I read yesterday, Just sintime. Cedric Wilson had

299
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: his big game last week, and yeah, you know, I

300
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: mean Gallops better than him. Yeah. Uh, Sammy Watkins with

301
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: that hamstring. Baltimore coming off of a bye, he's still

302
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: not ready to go. I'm warming up more and more

303
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: debateman and I know we didn't really love him coming

304
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: off his injury, but I got I mean, I'm trying

305
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: to get in Harbaugh's mind here like that. Yeah, good

306
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: luck with that. I mean during the bye I bet

307
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: he's thinking, we gotta throw. You know, can we really

308
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: trust this running game? Like Lamar might be just scratching

309
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: the surface the points he puts up. If they throw

310
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: more five percent more than they did the first half

311
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: of the year, and they threw more than they usually do,

312
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna run. But they can't trust any

313
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: of those backs. Yeah, their their question. Their problem is

314
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: can they protect Lamar? Yeah, the offensive lines and issue

315
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: and if you put more on Lamar's plate now throwing

316
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: the football, that's something he's drawn up. He's gonna get

317
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: hit more, hit more too, Right, Yeah, there's ramifications to

318
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: that decision. Um, yeah they have or they've settled on

319
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: the back. Right. That would have been my heart, My

320
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: priority fire hardball was like, okay, guys were going on

321
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: to buy go see your family for a couple of days,

322
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and come back with who our back is.

323
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, we need to figure out somebody is that Freeman?

324
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Is that Murray? This is a disaster I'm kind of

325
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: shocked they didn't make some kind of move for me

326
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: to uh speaking Wisha Tavis Murray is not practicing today.

327
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: He's still still got that ankle. Uh so with him

328
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: out last week or with the last two weeks, I

329
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: think it's been DeVante Freeman of the Snaps, Levy on

330
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: Bell has gotten thirty. Tyson Williams is life and Adventure

342
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: It's just a mess. If you had to put it

343
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: a claim in for one or you had to start one,

344
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: I know, but that's not the question. I start lamars.

345
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: They're running back. Yeah, I think Freeman if I had

346
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: done one, I guess. I mean the snap counts tell

347
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: you that. But he's a little bit of history. But

348
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: they don't throw the backs. It's just it's not good,

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: terrible mass um. Calvin Ridley remains away from the team

350
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. I would not expect him back anytime soon. No,

351
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: but Arthur Smith was asked about it and the quote,

352
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: and again I'm just reading it. I don't know what

353
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: his infliction. Can't trade him right now, can't don't get

354
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: rid of, don't cut him, don't trade him. He don't

355
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you have to hold onto him because he's Calvin Ridley.

356
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Of course, the what I was meant, though, was the

357
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: tone that I thought that Smith answered the question about

358
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: Ridley was it just seemed more weak the week than

359
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: me than year to year, you know, like he's just

360
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: taking seven. Might be wishful thinking too, it might be

361
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: it might be. I mean, you can't trade him. I

362
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: would love to put an offer in for him if

363
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: you get them super cheap, or if someone cut some

364
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: jump all over and remember he didn't make the trip

365
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: to London right right for personal issues exactly. It's been

366
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: going on like is he afraid to fly? What's going

367
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: on here with this? You know, I think it's something

368
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: something massive. Yeah, yeah, And don't want to make light

369
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: of that at all. No, we're talking we were treating

370
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: it like an injury, like we're talking football here. You know,

371
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: I hope, we hope he works it all out. Uh.

372
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about the Aaron Rodgers situation. Jordan's Love

373
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: will get to start this week for the Packers. They

374
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: went from being one point underdogs against Kansas City, which

375
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't get. I would have gladly put money on

376
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: plus one. Yeah. Um, now they're eight point underdogs. It's

377
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: amazing one player is worth that much, but he really is. Yeah,

378
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: that's a full touchdown. Do they go with a similar

379
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: you know Jordan Love started. They signed Blake Bortles as

380
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the as their atoms will be bad. So you got

381
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: atoms back. You just played a game without atoms where

382
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: you were kind of couldn't really throw the football and

383
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: found a way to win against Arizona running the ball

384
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: like crazy and some easy completions against Aaron Jones. You

385
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: know you you run. Um. I I think Dylan week,

386
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: Dylan get plenty of run. You know, that's a bad

387
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: defensor play into if you can keep it close. Yeah,

388
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not ready to say it could be

389
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: a huge Aaron Jones. Yeah, because even if they get down,

390
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be involved a lot. That would young quarterbacks

391
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: like dumping the easy throws. I would think that. You know,

392
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: you just tell you know, if you're Matt Lafleur, you

393
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: tell you tell Um Love, Hey, look you're getting trouble

394
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: dumping off the Jones or throw youre not a bad thing. Yeah,

395
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe for a short term like that. Just get the

396
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: ball into good people's hands. You know, however, you can

397
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: do it, and I'm sure Love will run a little.

398
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: He's on a great runner, but it's a good runner. Um.

399
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Side note on Rogers, like if you're counting on him

400
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: for your as you're starting quarterback, best case scenario, he's

401
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: back in the building practicing Friday, So if he has

402
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: any hiccup, he's gonna be out two weeks, right, you know,

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: like a negative test tomorrow, which is ten days to

404
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: two weeks problems, So he's gonna be cutting the clothes.

405
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: It's a real problem. Uh. Terris Marshall with a concussion

406
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: return to practice Wednesday for the Carolina Panthers. I like

407
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: the player, but I don't think a third receiver in

408
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: that offense is feasible. Yeah, they have hard enough time

409
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: to get it to more. Right now, mentioned that Barkley

410
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: he needs to partner a negative test by Friday to

411
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: be cleared for to play on Sunday if he's healthy enough,

412
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: and he has like, yeah, he's he was doubtful last week.

413
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: He didn't play last week. Right, So DeVante Booker, it's okay. Yeah,

414
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean all of us are hurting to find a

415
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: guy to get you through that. He's the perfect example.

416
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: And I think to get the ball fair Mountain Deck.

417
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: I think it Miley. He had cut this week because

418
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: first assume that Barkley's Hey, Barkley's coming back, I'm gonna

419
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: cut him free. All of a sudden, DeVante Booker is available,

420
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: and he looks like he may get more runners, get touches.

421
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: He catches the ball too. I mean he is not dynamic.

422
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's just a guy. But that's fine. Uh.

423
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins did not participate in the open portion of

424
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: practice today. I'm not over reacting to that. With a

425
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: veteran on a Wednesday, he was banged up for the

426
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: only played sense Snaps last health he has been a year. Yeah,

427
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: he has not quite looked himself. And part of that

428
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: because other guys are, you know, stepping up and they

429
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: have a lot of options now. But him and Kelsey

430
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: are two I've kind of looked at, like are they

431
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: getting old and right in front of our eyes here

432
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: before we do it. You know, injuries you can blame on,

433
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: but it's just you know, just be aware. Speaking of

434
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Kyler Murray, yeah that is Uh, we don't

435
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of great news, but it's better monitor it. Yeah,

436
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: he's had ten days off, so they're backed up. I

437
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: don't even know that they're backed up. I don't think

438
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: it matters, as I saying, I don't want to start

439
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: any of their guys if Tyler is not out there. Yeah,

440
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: that that's a that's a massive tidal wave effect of

441
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the whole offense. Uh. Mariy Cooper with

442
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: a hamstring was limited today, all right. Tyron Smith with

443
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: an ankle not practicing on Wednesday. I think that one's bad. Like,

444
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he's playing this that's a big deal

445
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: for them now. They got lay all Collins back right,

446
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: so they have some options there. But it's Tyler Nisky

447
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: at uh left tackle if it's not Tyron Smith, and

448
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith is a far better player. Yeah, he's having

449
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: a really good year. I mean he's back to being

450
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: a great player after a couple of down years in

451
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: injury filled years. I think he had back stuff before,

452
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: so it's not the same stuff. But I mean it's

453
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: as much as a tackle injury can affect your fantasy life.

454
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: That's you know, he's one of them. You mentioned this

455
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: one last night when we were chatting back and forth. Uh,

456
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos placed no a fan on the COVID list. Uh,

457
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna get through. He's gonna have two negative tests

458
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: here if he doesn't. Are you firing up Albertau this week?

459
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think Alberta would start

460
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams. Um, frankly, he's really hurt fans.

461
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, coming back fancy three catches last week that

462
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: this would have been fan catches. Yeah, exactly. His snap

463
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: count is usage is really affected by Alberta. Um, there's

464
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: still a lot of mouse to feed there. I mean

465
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: the fact that everybody's healthy for Denver, isn't a great

466
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: thing because Teddy's not gonna throw a fifty times in

467
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: all the right field, you know. I mean so for

468
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: the fantasy world, I think you want a couple of

469
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: those mouths to be out. But they're playing the Cowboys

470
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: this week, so they might have to throw the ball.

471
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: I would yeah. Um, but I think Alberto's a top

472
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: fifteen tight end without fans. Just don't ask me to

473
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: spell it. We'll say it. Uh, Logan speaking in the

474
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: tight end position, Logan Thomas returning from that hamstring. He'll

475
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: be back after the bye. If Logan Thomas you put

476
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: your waiver claims in yet and Logan Thomas is available,

477
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: put get Logan Thomas. I don't care if you can play.

478
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: He's like a top seven Fantasy tight end. Every week exactly.

479
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: He gets peppered with targets. There's seven or eight of

480
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: them on the planet right now. You start every week,

481
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: and he's one of them. Yeah, and he was really

482
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: good before you got hurt. Ricky Seals Jones was a thing.

483
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: It's because of the way they use their tight end.

484
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Because of the way they use the tight ends. Yeah,

485
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: and Logan Thomas is better than him, but he's not

486
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: a special player. I mean, in best thing Logan Thomas

487
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: has going for him is the way they use them, right. Yeah,

488
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's like a big wide receiver receiver. He doesn't.

489
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: He's the number two options. Yeah. Corey Davis with that

490
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: hip injury, remains sideline for Tuesday's practice. Um, they played

491
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night. I don't see him. I'm not jumping on

492
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: the Jets train. And besides Michael Carter, Yeah, I'm not

493
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: getting ahead of myself that there points all of a

494
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: sudden just because they got the new quarterback. Yeah, I'm

495
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: leaving all those guys out of my line. I picked

496
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: up for Carter if I can help it. On the

497
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: Colt side of things. For that Thursday night game, this

498
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: one's interesting. Quentin Nelson did not practice on Tuesday. They

499
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: have a good d line. Yeah, I mean that could

500
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: be a problem, you know, So that could be you know,

501
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: if you looked at Joe Mixon's line from Sunday, it

502
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: wasn't great. He scored twice. One was on the catch,

503
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: one was on a on a rush, a long catch

504
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: and run too. Yeah, so you know that was not

505
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: easy sledding for him. Although I think their D line

506
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: beat up the Bengals off on the front in both phases. Obviously,

507
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Indianapolis has as a better offensive line that does take

508
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: Nelson out of the equation, right, and then the problem

509
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: right now that that Jets front formidable. Quentin Williams a star.

510
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: I think at this point too, I think I might

511
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: put Taylor ahead of Mix in terms of overall talent.

512
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: I didn't quite realize this, but the last couple of weeks,

513
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: they're really using Taylor right now, you know. I mean,

514
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: like name, Hinz is not catching the same percentage of

515
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: pass as he used to or being used on thirds

516
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: and as much as he used to. Taylor starting to

517
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: get the mix and roll of being kind of the

518
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: every down guy. Yeah, and he's super talented. Yeah, there's

519
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And you know, if we were

520
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: drafting right now, he'd be a top three or four pick. Yeah,

521
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: Mix him mixing would not be that now. He might

522
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: be a late first or something like that, you know, right, Yeah,

523
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, he was not in consideration when we were

524
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: talking about you know, trading. Uh no, right, you know,

525
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 1: like Nausea versus Taylor is a conversation for me, right,

526
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, he's he's definitely in that in that mix. Um. Anyways,

527
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for today's show, alright. So for
