1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Wow. What is Welcome to another edition of the NFL 2 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live podcast, Me and your man Namd Marcus Grand 3 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: alongside the Hall of Fantasy Hall of Famer at Michael Fabiano, 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: as well as our main Granada Barfield which Graham Welcome back. 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: You were on like death store last week. Man. I 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: was on the sofa for five days, didn't move, had 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: a terrible sinus infection. Still little nasily in the voice, 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: and you might hear me at some point in this 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: show that I'm feeling much better. Not nothing, though, because 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: I think the NFL is trying to get us all sick. 11 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: Because our newsroom this morning, like I get it, great 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: game last night in Chicago. It doesn't need to be 13 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: that cold in our newsroom and then the studio this morning. 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean, how to be maybe fifty five degrees in there. 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, you know, like they're trying to grow reindeer 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: or something around. It makes sense, right because you know 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: you know that that that that the playoffs are coming 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: super Bowls. I mean, so you want all your people 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: to get sick and rest up now. You don't want 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: them to be six super Bowl you know, so then 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: get it out of the way, I may or may 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: not have seen icicles coming out of the sink in 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: the kitchen this morning. Good, not doubt against. It's freezing 24 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: in that newsroom behind the glass wre Hopefully it's a 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: little bit warmer as always our producers. Senior Edward L. 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Murphy esquire Murphy's up. Yeah, thanks for the heads up. 27 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: Now that I know it's called, I'll avoid that room. Yeah, dude, 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: I gotta say, like, I mean, fantasy is so I mean, 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm good the whole season. Lose now in the playoffs, 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: like my team. The Giants stink most of the year. 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: They're scoring. They scored thirty points against the Bears. The 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: Rams can only score six. The NFL makes no sense. 33 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: Fantasy makes no sense. So you can go ahead and 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: use that L word if you want a lot of 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: luck involved. There There is, there is, there is. We 36 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: had lots to talk about. It was a weird Week 37 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: four team. We'll go through the good, the bad, and 38 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: the weird of it, and you know what kind of 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: way on weight in on what we think was the best, worst, 40 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: and weirdest of the week. Also a playoff week to 41 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: look ahead with who could be the hero and who 42 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: could be the villain of course, uh Monday Morning, which 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: is always sadder when can get to fantasy playoff time too. 44 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: So we'll get some of your tweets there and then 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: some of your mail back questions as well. But first 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: let's do some news. Tyreek Hill left the game on 47 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Ravens with a foot injury. He did 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: come back later in the game, but afterwards told Peter 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: King of the Monday Morning Quarterback or formerly of Monday 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: Morning Quarterback fame, I guess that the injured foot is 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: quote bad and now fabs this. This is terrible news 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: at a time when fantasy folks have gotten lots of 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: terrible news. We talked about all the running backs who 54 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: were injured, you know, Manuel Sanders loss for the year. 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: Now to potentially lose Tyreek Hill, or at least have 56 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill at less than right now, is is more bad. 57 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it was good to see him play through it. 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: But they've got a short week. You've got the Lightning 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: Bolts this week on Thursday Night Football, which should be 60 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: a hell of a game. Um. I know, Marcus, he's 61 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: going to be picking up Kelvin Benjamin in all of 62 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: his leagues this yeah, all of them. No, not even 63 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: but it is bad news. And for those of you 64 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: who get to week sixteen and for some reason maybe 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: some play in week seventeen. I will never know why 66 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't let friends play Week seventeen, you would think 67 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, assuming the Chiefs have sort of clinched everything, 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: will be resting some of their players, So Tyreeko could 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: be on that list, depending on how serious this foot 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: injury actually is. I mean, but I mean real talk though, 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I laugh kind of joke about 72 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin would have you, but Graham, I mean, Chris Connley. 73 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: It is kind of a name. Maybe keep in your 74 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: back pocket, I would think this week. I mean, it's 75 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to think Sammy Watkins obviously is gonna 76 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: probably miss the rest of the regular seasons foot injury. 77 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy to think Connley could walk into 78 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: week fifteen and be their lead founder receiver. But that's 79 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of what we're looking at. I mean, still even 80 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: without Sammy Watkins, I mean, Tyreek Hill has just been 81 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: on a terry as ten, fourteen, six and fourteen targets 82 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: in his last four games. Obviously have the one weird 83 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: one for bad game. You known two weeks ago, but still, 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just been that cost me a playoff spot. 85 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: He has just been shredding without Sammy Watkins obviously would 86 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: be huge if he missed Week fifteen. But yeah, especially 87 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: in the game. Well obviously for the Chiefs, obviously it's 88 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: a big deal because this is a game that has 89 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot to do with the a f C West 90 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: for fantasy folks, it's a game that potentially could be 91 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: very high scoring. So to not have Tyree Hill, there's 92 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Interesting, like this could decide the first 93 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: round by and they have c now because yesterday Houston, 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: if Houston would have beat Indie, they would have been 95 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: in the running for that still be in the running 96 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: for that first round by now. The Chiefs and Chargers 97 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: are right there to the Chiefs right now, are are 98 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: in that one spot. The Patriots losing, you know they're 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: they're not out of it, but it certainly makes it 100 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: a little more difficult. That was crazy. That was wild 101 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: the way they lost that football game. That that Sunday 102 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: of football was a reminder of why we all love 103 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, especially if you're a Cowboys fan. Yeah, how 104 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys. That game was nuts, though. I mean, like, 105 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: even if you're just a football fan, the second half 106 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: with Dak, the ups, the downs, the interceptions, the long 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: touchdown throws, the flags, the refs will and we'll get 108 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: to some of that because I'mari Cooper went went ballistic elsewhere. 109 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy left yesterday's game for the Bills with an 110 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: injured hamstring. The reports right now or that he is 111 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: day today. Um, I mean, Graham, does this matter because 112 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen obviously is the RB one there in Buffalo, right, 113 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: so they don't even need McCoy. Yeah, man, whatever, that 114 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: is what it is. I mean, look, Josh Allen is 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: averaging seven point four yards. Burg cames insane. I mean, look, 116 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: I don't really know what to do. I mean, at 117 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: this point for fantasy, we just kind of have to Troy. 118 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: He's had three and thirty five rushing yards in his 119 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: last three games. That's the most by a quarterback in 120 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: a three game stretch. It's nineteen seventy and I mean 121 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: you look at this, three turnovers yesterday and he still 122 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: scored twenty points. Running quarterbacks, My friends, I've been preaching 123 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: it for years. It's just It's so weird because I 124 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday that, you know, I twoted a meme of 125 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: a skeleton on a bench saying that's me waiting for 126 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the rushing regression to hit for Josh Allen. And and 127 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin Slack on Twitter, who does stuff for 128 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Drafting Network actually responded. But what I thought was actually 129 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: a really smart point. It's not so much that rushing 130 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: regression will hit. It's at some point defenses are going 131 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: to say, hey, maybe we just don't let this guy 132 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: run all over. Well, it's bizarre. Yesterday is is the 133 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: Jets didn't even commit a spy on some of those players. 134 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean there was nobody in the middle of the 135 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: field and Allen but just just gashing them. And he 136 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: have he averaged like eleven yards per carryer in week fourteen. 137 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's so bizarre because he's only completing his 138 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: passes four picks. He has five sacks in the last 139 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: three games. Like, as a passer he's been abysmal. But 140 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: for fantasy, because he's rushing for nearly a hundred yards 141 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: and score every game, we're just yeah, and fantasy, you 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: put up good rushing to les and it sort of 143 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: covers up your your deficiencies as a pastor. So I'm 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: just I'm waiting for the defensive coordinator to say, hey, 145 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: maybe we should just put a spy in the middle 146 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: of the field and not let this guy just run 147 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: all over us. Uh. If that and if and when 148 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: that happens, then suddenly maybe it's a different ballgame for 149 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen And maybe that means more Lashawn McCoy 150 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: if he gets healthy and back on the field. If 151 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks not running, somebody's well, I mean, you'd probably 152 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: be looking at Chris Ivory is a waiver wire ad um. 153 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: He led the backfield and touches yesterday. But uh, it's 154 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: an uninspiring one. It is very uninspired. A little bit 155 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: more inspiring at least as the running back situation for 156 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: the l A Chargers. Austin Ekeler did suffer a stinger yesterday, 157 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: had a very good first half. Was kind of meant 158 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: in the second half, but he had done a lot 159 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: of his damage early. But there's always a chance that 160 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon comes back for Thursday night football facts. I 161 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: guess this means though, that we're keeping an eye on 162 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler because if he doesn't go as Justin Jackson. 163 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: If not, I mean, this is one I think we're 164 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: gonna to monitor all a week. Yeah, no doubt about that. 165 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean I'd kind of be surprised if Gordon came back. 166 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it is a big game, but they 167 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: want to have him for the playoffs because that's what's 168 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: most important, uh, for the Bolts. But Eckler with the stinger, 169 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: Justin Jackson was a big bust. A lot of there 170 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: not much liked him to sort of take over the 171 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: Gordon role and Eckler would fall back into the Eckler role. 172 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: And unfortunately for those who did not play Eckler or 173 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: started Justin Jackson, Uh, the opposite was true, and Eckler 174 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: went out and had a big, big game. I can't 175 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: remember a defense that has been this bad weekend and 176 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: week out against one position like the Bengals are against 177 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: running backs. If you started, if you started running back 178 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: against the Bengals, every you're guaranteed to get a nice statline. 179 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: Gear Ron tied and Uh, anybody who started Ekeler in 180 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: that game was it was probably very glad to do 181 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: it because he helped you get to the next round 182 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I'm looking so uh, Marcus was like 183 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: a man who's playing. But does this mean we're all 184 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: in on Doug Martin this week? Yes, all right? And 185 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: you know who they played the following week They played 186 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: the Brown So it's in the show. So uh, that'll 187 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: be interesting. Start Doug Martin. I do think the one 188 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: reason that you may see Melvin Gordon back is because 189 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean they could tie. Yeah, I mean, look, this 190 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: is a humongous game. They could. They could theoretically, for 191 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: as good as the Chiefs have been, for as ridiculous 192 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: as Patrick Mahomes is, for the fact he might even 193 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: break the single season touchdown record, the Chargers could still 194 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: be the number one. They could still be in the 195 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: one season. I wouldn't be surprised if Melvin Gordon comes 196 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: back to playing. Uh finally, Washington benches Mark Sanchez. He 197 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: was awful, The team was awful. They got blown out. 198 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Josh Josh Johnson. I'll remember it. I'll get it right. 199 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: He comes in and you know, he rallies them and 200 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: he scores a couple of touchdowns. Lady ends up as 201 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: as we sit here right now, he is the QB three. 202 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Ridiculous and he is projected to be the starter again 203 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: next week. Don't even ask, I don't even ask two 204 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: QB leagues, Like two QB leagues, maybe you know for 205 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: the DFS, minded, do you consider it maybe against Jacksonville? 206 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: And I get it. The Jaguars defense hasn't been all 207 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: that good this season. But that is Derrick Henry. That 208 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: is bold, man, I know that is bold. Really is 209 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson the number one overall pick in the A 210 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: a F. That's right, I said yesterday. The a F 211 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: is already developing NFL players. Man, do they have fantasy 212 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: football leagues for that? They haven't even played an actual 213 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: game and they're already sending guys to the NFL. So 214 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: good for them. So there it is. Uh, yes, so 215 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: chances are you probably not taking a shot at Josh Johnson. 216 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: But you know, there's not a red skin that you 217 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: could trust that that's that's none. It's especially Jordan Reid. 218 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it took weeks to get hurt, so this 219 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: is crazy. It's been the healthiest season ever been. It's 220 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: been his worst season in terms of production. But yeah, 221 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: there's not a red skin I want, right, that's such 222 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: a that's such a such a the lima for Jordan 223 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: read It's like I could I could be productive but 224 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: injury prone, or I could stay healthy and not do 225 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: much of anything. Quickly have the have the wheels fawn 226 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: off of that Redskins bandwagon because they were the number 227 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: one team in the NFC East not so long ago, 228 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: really just a handful of weeks ago. First Division. Early 229 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: in the season, like the first few weeks of the season, 230 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: it looked like their defense was going to be good. 231 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: And it is when they when they beat the Cowboys, 232 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: when Dak fumbled in the end zone and they recovered it, 233 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: they were the they were the class of that division. 234 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: Not so much, not so much anymore. So there you go. 235 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: That is pretty much everything you need to know, all right. 236 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: Week fourteen in review, I took a handful of storylines 237 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: from the week, broke them down into good, bad, and weird. 238 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: I'll go over them and then we can kind of 239 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: kick around. I'm just curious get your thoughts on which 240 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: ones you guys, we're you know, we're the best storylines, 241 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: the worst or the weirdest. And if there's one here 242 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: I missed pheel Free obviously to jump in and throw 243 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: that in as well, so we'll start with the good. 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: So I got four of them here. You got Amari 245 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Cooper's second thirty point game in three weeks, just going nuts, 246 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: almost fifty almost in PPR legs. Uh. Josh Allen, who 247 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,359 Speaker 1: the last three weeks has averaged ten yards per carry 248 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: and I believe he has almost as many rushing yards 249 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: on the season as Lashawn McCoy nets. Uh. The Giants defense. 250 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: They go over fifteen Fantasy points for the second straight week, 251 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: which I think that was one we sort of predicted 252 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: because Jel Washington was gonna be bad. D Jarvis Lantry 253 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: Awakens hadn't had a touchdown since Week seven, had to 254 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: a rushing and a receiving touchdown, and almost had a 255 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: passing touchdown on those of those four. So those are 256 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: my four like kind of good stories for the week. 257 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: If you had to pick one father that you think 258 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: was kind of the best, one word, I'm going, I mean, 259 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: you're going to come on, man, I'm going to Mark Cooper. 260 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: And when the Cowboys made the trade, I'll never forget. 261 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I walked into the newsroom and um, I think it 262 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: was Emily who socially who had said that the Cowboys 263 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: had traded for for Cooper, and I said, what did 264 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: we give up first round pick? And I was like, 265 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: oh man, because Roy Williams and Joey Galloway instantly jumped 266 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: into my head. Well and everyone thought that that one, 267 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, but this is this is a perfect both 268 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: things can be true. I mean, Dallas paid too much 269 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: for a receiver, but was in the final year of 270 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: his deal. They're gonna have to pay him next year. 271 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: They paid too much for Amark Cooper, and Amark Cooper 272 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: has been a badass for them. He's got five touchdowns 273 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: in his last two games. He's had a hundred eight 274 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: yard game, He's had a two seventeen yard game, and 275 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: he's not only improved that offense tenfold, but he's made 276 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott very fantasy relevant once again. Uh And at 277 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: the same time, Cooper is no longer a guy that 278 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: you ask Graham, do I start him this week? Marcus? 279 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Should I start Cooper this week? No? Was in your 280 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: line every single week. The whole stink of the silver 281 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: and black is gone. Now with that beautiful blue star 282 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: on his helmet, Amari Cooper is re emerged and end 283 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: up he could end up being the fantasy Football Playoff 284 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: m v P. If he has a couple of good games, 285 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: You've got the Colts next week could be a very 286 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: high scoring game, and then he's got the Bucks. So 287 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: it's not out of the realm of possibility that Amari 288 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Cooper becomes your fantasy playoff m v P. And I 289 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: would I'm trying to speak that into his This is 290 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: because it would be good for the Cowboys and we 291 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: could potentially secure the NFC East, which we're close to doing. 292 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: And h boy, it would be nice to see the 293 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys sneak into that three seed. I don't know if 294 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, but we shall see. All right, So 295 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: of those four Graham, is there one that stands out 296 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: to here or there one that maybe I missed that 297 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: you thought was big for the week. Just for what 298 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: it's worth, Josh Allen does have more rushings, so he 299 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: has more. Now, all right, it's wild, I mean it's 300 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: it's wild, But yeah, I mean it was gonna be 301 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: Cooper for me too. I'd like to personally apologize first 302 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: to Amari Cooper um for basically the entire d of 303 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: his career. I kind of doubted him, and uh, it 304 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of became a running joke for me on Twitter, 305 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: but that bit is over. Amark Cooper, I'm sorry. You 306 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: are as good as we thought you weren't when you 307 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: came out of Alabama. You're as explosive as as any 308 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: player or any receiver in the NFL right now. It's 309 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: a it's remarkable. I mean, Dallas has basically turned their 310 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: season around from a bottom ten offense to a top 311 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: twelve offense just by adding a Mark Cooper. It's it's incredible. 312 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: It sort of begs the question because obviously, the the 313 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: overwhelming reaction was that Mark Cooper going to Dallas wasn't 314 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: going to change much. You know, it's like he can't 315 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: get separation, He's not gonna get open. You know, that's 316 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to help him all that much. Obviously, 317 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: here we are, what's six weeks later, and we all 318 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: have sort of egg on our face about this. So 319 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: but it does beg the question, like what exactly were 320 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders doing? Is it's more or less? Is Derek 321 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: cart just that bad? Is it? I mean? Yeah, because 322 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: it can't just be a Gruden thing, because this Mari 323 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: Creup wasn't doing much before John Gruden got there so 324 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: just be you know, hey, the coaching staff. But it 325 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: took me look at his numbers in Oakland, like this 326 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: season to eight, then he had twenty one. They had 327 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: three seven, twenty six. Then he had to uh and 328 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: then the big move. Yeah, like like de Marcus point 329 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: before even this year, before the Raiders got Gruden in 330 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Cooper at six yards and fourteen games is 331 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: sixty two and six or Dallas this year. It's not 332 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: it's not like you said, It's not just a Gruden thing. 333 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: It's more or less just like I know, we always 334 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: want to say we want to take these sounded players 335 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: and put them in more advantageous situations, and rarely doesn't 336 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: work out the way it's worked out for Mr. But 337 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: like this is genuinely one of those types of situations 338 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: where Amar genuinely needed another like a fresh start apparently, 339 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: And that's what we talked about when the trade went down. 340 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us saw this coming. I didn't, 341 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: and I'm a Cowboys homer. I didn't see this coming. 342 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I said, change of scenery is good. Maybe he sees 343 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: a little uptick in value. I was projecting him as 344 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: a wide receiver two three dude. Now he's a one 345 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: in fantasy right now. He is absolutely And you know, 346 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Cowboys defense too, Holy cow Yeah. 347 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's all come together at the right time. 348 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: They've been very good obviously all year long, and now 349 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: they've kind of think kicked it up. I think, as 350 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: they have as this team has gotten hot and they're 351 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: winning games, this defense I think has sort of gone 352 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: next level. One of the things you got so many 353 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: good You mentioned those numbers last year, Grandma for for 354 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: Mark Cooper guardage wise, keep in mind how much of 355 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: them came in that one game and that one Thursday night. Yeah, 356 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: and that was the bulk of them. And that was 357 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: the game where they the Chiefs. Basically they put Cooper 358 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: in the slot and like fifty of his roots or 359 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: something like that, and I just decided not to cover him. 360 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: And if you remember, he had been bad and so 361 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: people were afraid to start him on the Thursday night game. 362 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I believe I believe I had him as a sit 363 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: that way. I advised people to avoid Mary Mark Cooper. 364 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: It had not been producing since like the middle of 365 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen. He'd been highly, highly inconsistent. We 366 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: saw flashes of the talent, but he just never put 367 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: it together. And he's gone to Dallas and fully put 368 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, it's been it's been absolutely wild, all right. 369 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: So that was the good. So now we're onto the bad. 370 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: So that the things that happened that we maybe didn't 371 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: see happening, Uh, the things that might have forced some 372 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: folks out of the playoffs. This year's the first one. 373 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: The Saints offense lets you down yet again, right, and 374 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: this was supposed to be the bounce back week. They 375 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: were playing the Buccaneers. Uh, they needed a win and 376 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: and ended up getting a win. It wasn't pretty and offensively, 377 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, Drew Breese was a disappointment. Alvin Camaro wasn't great. 378 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: Mark Ingram got a touchdown which sort of salvaged his day, 379 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: but on the whole, it was not a huge day 380 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: for the Saints offense. So that was one. Uh, Philip Rivers, 381 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: we thought the Bengals were going to be that matchup 382 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: that you know, Rivers could just cruise against. It would 383 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: be fine. He put up a whole bunch of points. 384 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: He didn't really do that. I don't think he even 385 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: got you the fifteen fantasy points this week. It was 386 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: kind of a slow week for him. Third, Bela tricks 387 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: are back because now it's a couple of weeks in 388 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: a row that Sony Michelle has been underwhelming this past week. 389 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: James White, I think got you less than thirty scrimmage 390 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: yards total um names Devlin is scoring touchdowns. Now it's 391 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: kind of a mess, and it looks like the Patriots 392 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: running back situation is back to being, uh, the same 393 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: headache that it had been a couple of years ago. 394 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: I mean, we've gotten to a point where I think 395 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: we had sort of figured it out and everything was fine. 396 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: Now it's back to kind of being the bane of 397 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: our existence yet again. And Fourth, Jared Goff Todd Gurley 398 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: get shut down. Now. I had kind of warned people 399 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: about golf this week, and you know, we knew the 400 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: Bears would be tough. I didn't think that Jared Goff 401 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: would get you negative fantasy points. I didn't think Todd 402 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: Gurley would be held to what about five six fantasy points. 403 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean they were. They were completely and utterly shut down. 404 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: And chances are if you had to play them this week, 405 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: one or both of them probably really hurt your chances 406 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: of of advancing to the second round of the playoffs. 407 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: So I'll start with you, Graham, which of those four 408 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: or if there's another one, uh, you think was the 409 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: most impactful, probably in a negative way, this week, all 410 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: of them were incredibly impactful. I mean, if you just 411 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: look back, I mean, starting with the Saints, we look 412 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: back over the last three games. Their touchdown scores are 413 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Dan Arnold, Austin Carr, Kirk Keith Kirkwood twice, Tommy Lee Lewis, 414 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: and Zac Line. Obviously, Drew Brees had the sneak, mark 415 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Ingram had the late score. But I mean the last 416 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: three weeks the Saints touchdown wise have not been what 417 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: we were expecting. Since that Thursday, that Thanksgiving game, pretty much, 418 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: it hasn't been great. Yeah, it's it's been a fantasy killer. 419 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 1: And I mean, moving on to the Patriots, I mean 420 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: James White snap right has has fallen for five straight games. 421 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: He has six or fewer touches in two of his 422 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: last three. He's basically gone from a PPR stud to 423 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: kind of just a flex play like what we are 424 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: used to out of James White at this point. I mean, 425 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: it's it was a really brutal Week four team from 426 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: the sense of we were relying on the Saints, relying 427 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: on the Patriots, are lying on the Rams. So many 428 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: of these players have have carried teams to Fantasy, the 429 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs, and they all well. I think about James 430 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: White is that he really had been kind of the 431 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: centerpiece of that offense. I mean, he was leading them 432 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: in targets and catches, and he had sort of been 433 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: the engine of that Patriots offense until recently. I think 434 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: he had one touch in the first half yesterday. It 435 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: was ridiculous. It was It was ridiculous. And Margaret's is 436 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: making good points on all these but the Saints is 437 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: the one that surprises me the most. I'm not surprised 438 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: Jared Goff had a bad game because he's not good 439 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: in the cold, and he's quickly gaining a reputation as 440 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's not good in the cold. So if 441 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: the Saints have home field advantage, they better jack up 442 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: the air conditioning in the NFC Championship game, if they 443 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: play against the Rams, that would be good. Get it 444 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: down to about thirty degrees. But it's been it's been 445 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: a complete reversal of fortunes, because I mean Alvin Camara 446 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: every single week was almost guaranteed to give you over 447 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: twenty Fantasy points in his last four games ten fifteen, 448 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: last three games ten fifteen and fifteen. Not going to 449 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: get it done. From your first round pick mark ingram 450 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned it got into the end zone. Didn't have 451 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: a huge game yardage wise. Michael Thomas was very good 452 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: in PPR leagues, but over his last three games sort 453 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: of overall been a little bit underwhelming. And Drew Brees, 454 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, I talked about it on TV. I said 455 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: trade him six weeks ago. In his last two games, 456 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: he's averaged right around ten Fantasy points. And there's a 457 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: stat that I knew about it. I didn't use it 458 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, now, this is a bounce back game. 459 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: It's got to happen. Breeze in the last three years, 460 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: including yesterday, has averaged fewer than ten Fantasy points in 461 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Okay. I don't know why because the Bucks 462 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: defense has been garbage. But and it was like Derek 463 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: Brooks and Warren Sap out there, you know, in this contest, 464 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: and Breeze could not get it done. And he is 465 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: single handedly at a position that's really deep. Probably cost 466 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: you a chance at a championship because he gave you 467 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: a stinker against the Cowboys and he stunk against the Buccaneers. 468 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: And that's a big surprise to me because Breeze in 469 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: the offense, especially after what they did the Eagles in 470 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: that game, was like, Wow, this is the best team 471 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. They they have really hurt you, 472 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: not only with uh their lack of consistency, the lack 473 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: of production from Breeze, but the fact that when the 474 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: points did come you mentioned it, you know, our old 475 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: kirkwood Zach Line scored touchdown. Who are these guys? Give 476 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: us some guys that were starting in our fantasy league. 477 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: So the Saints that have been a really really I mean, 478 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: they won, but they certainly didn't win from a fantasy 479 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: perspect Crazily, all these odd guys scoring touchdowns, and Taysom 480 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: Hill hasn't been one of them. I know, I kind 481 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: of figured he would have been one, because that's just 482 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: the way the season is going, all right. So now 483 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: onto the weird. Um just a bunch of just goofy 484 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: things that that you couldn't necessarily predict. One the Derrick 485 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: Henry forty seven point explosion, which ended up being the 486 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: same in both standard and PPR because he did not 487 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he had a single target. I know 488 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: he didn't know he did. I think he got targeted 489 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: like once or twice. He was five yards markets from 490 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: breaking the record that Sharp set in two thousand and 491 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: twelve for receiving yards. You don't like just bubble screen. 492 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: Just throw it out there and let him run for 493 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: five yards and he breaks the record and they don't 494 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know why, Derek So that the 495 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden scoring two touchdowns against the Patriots in a game, Uh, 496 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: how many people even knew that he was on the Dolphins? 497 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: You know, I honestly didn't. I saw Brandon Bulling score 498 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown and I'm like bella tricks car, and I'm like, 499 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: oh wait, no, no, he's a Dolphin now, okay. George 500 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: Kittle's Taylor two halves yards in the first half, zero 501 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: in the second, and then mentioned earlier, Josh Johnson, a 502 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: top three quarterback coming in and go like obviously no 503 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: one played him, No one expected him to play for 504 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: Washington on Sunday, but he comes in after Mark Sanchez 505 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,239 Speaker 1: looks awful. Uh, Washingtons getting blown out. So Johnson comes in, 506 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: he's a top three quarterback and now he's getting a 507 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: start coming up in week fifteen. Uh faves of those 508 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: four things, which is the most like WTF of them, 509 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: it's gotta be Derrick Henry to me, because not only 510 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: had he not produced big numbers all season long, but 511 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, the Jaguars had given up I think four 512 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns all year to running backs, and they gave 513 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: up four in one game. And he had that one 514 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: big nine yard run where he was basically punching Jaguars 515 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: defenders in the mouth and Jaguars defenders were missing tackles. 516 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: It was it was unreal, but the performance was was phenomenal, 517 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: and very few people benefited from it. I mean Al 518 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Bundy's four touchdowns in nineteen sixty six for Polkai, Derrick 519 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: Henry's four touchdowns against the Jaguars. They helped about the 520 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: same number of fantasy players because nobody was playing them 521 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: because not only was he not producing huge numbers, but 522 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: the matchup was bad and I had our research guys 523 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: look up, so we had Derrick Henry went for two 524 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: thirty eight. Then we had a Mari go for over 525 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: two hundred, and we had George Kindle go for over 526 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: two hundred. I was like, how many times has a 527 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: running back had two hundred and then two receivers had 528 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: two hundred? Uh in the same week. And it looks 529 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: like it's only happened a handful of times in in 530 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League. Uh, but 531 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: it's happened twice since two thousand and twelve. Before that, 532 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: there was a game five or a week in five 533 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: Joe Morris, George Rogers, Stefan paid and then Drew Hill 534 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: of the Houston Oilers. Yeah. So um a very surprising 535 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: stat line from Henry considering his lack of production. And 536 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: I believe he went Marcus from at the time from 537 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: load a mid thirties at running back to sixteen based 538 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: on one game he had not had a sixty yard 539 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: rushing game. Yeah, that's how it was. Graham, You're you're 540 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: your big case of weirdness out of this this group. Yeah, 541 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: Henry went from the RB thirty nine to RB twenty 542 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: one in PPR. It's gonna be hilarious when we're all 543 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: looking back and being like he was. Derrick Henry was 544 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: an R b two this Yeah, um no, I mean 545 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry based on I mean, if you trust the 546 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: process here, Derrick Henry was a terrible fantasy. Of course, 547 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: this was against the Jags. I mean, Dean Lewis has 548 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: been basically the lead back there all year. How can 549 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: it not be Derrick Henry. I mean, like, what do 550 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: you think how many people do you think actually started 551 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: him this past week? And I believe that it was 552 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: like four, But now I I break that down because 553 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: how many of those people were actually in their fantasy playoffs? 554 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: How many many of those are active leads? Right? How 555 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: many were the people who just like had quit and 556 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: just never took their Henry out of their lineup? You know, 557 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. I'd have to bet the actual 558 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: percentage for like a playoff team is like less than 559 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: five percent, I would think. So, I think, I think 560 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: I saw I cannot remember who I saw it from, 561 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: but I remember seeing a screenshot someone faced Cooper Yeah, 562 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: because he faced Cooper Kittle and could you imagine that 563 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: bad luck? And it was three points right there? He 564 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: said he was down a hundred points and he had 565 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league going into 566 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's all. That's brutal. Luck not Andrew, that 567 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: is luckily brutal. Yeah, it was. It was funny because 568 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: there was a weird It was a weird week also 569 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: in the sense, and I didn't even put this in here, 570 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: just the number of like vultured rushing touchdowns. You know 571 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: that that happened this week. I mean, you know, I 572 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: mentioned the Brandon Bolden getting to you know, you've got 573 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: the Zac line Zac line. You've got the Bears play 574 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: action faking to a chem Hicks only to throw it 575 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: to a backup the offensive office line. And you know, 576 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: it's like, it was a weird, weird week fantasy wise. 577 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: And so um if you if you survived, congratulations man. 578 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: Because between the you know, injuries, guys missing weird touchdowns, 579 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: I think there're gonna be a lot of really good 580 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: fantasy teams that got bounced out of the playoffs this week. Yeah, 581 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: especially you know, and and I thought of you two 582 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: because you have the number one seed in our league. 583 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: You have Todd Gurley, and boy, if you have Gurley 584 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and you didn't get a bye, I mean that your 585 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: season is over. And if you do have a bye, 586 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: you dodge the biggest bullet in fantasy football this season. 587 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: That's the big I think, that's you know, I know 588 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: we put the Jared Goff and the Rams getting shut 589 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: down is the bad, but like that was also just 590 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: beyond bizarre. The Rams did not adjust in that game, 591 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh did not adjust. They were getting basically their 592 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: interior defensive line was just getting shreded the entire game 593 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: and they did nothing to adjust for that. Yeah, yeah, 594 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: it was. I mean, it's just a weird game. I mean, 595 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: credit the Bears obviously for coming up with a good 596 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: game plan to slow them down, but it was just 597 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: at some point you were just waiting for the Rams 598 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: to to do something right. You were waiting for Girley 599 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: to to break a big play or or maybe Robert 600 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: Woods with a big catch and run, and it just 601 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: never happened. Well, I mean, we've seen the Rams be 602 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: able to adjust right there. When you're getting destroyed through 603 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: the interior, you want to check the ball down to 604 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: your running back, you want to try to set up screens, 605 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: get the ball over the medal, whatever the case may be, 606 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: and the Rams didn't do that. That was by far 607 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: Sean mcveigh's worst game. As a head coach in his 608 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: you know short rams tenures so far. Yeah, it was weird. 609 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: And and again if you had to play Todd Gurley 610 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: or Jared Goff, hopefully you you picked up some points 611 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: from elsewhere to can kind of mitigate what that happened, 612 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: because that that that wasn't great. You know, guys are 613 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: terrible at taking care of their health, whether it's a 614 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: knee injury, bad back, or something worse. Guys are usually 615 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: more comfortable rubbing some dirt on it than seeing a doctor. 616 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: What at the time, I think I tweaked my achilles 617 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: and I just sat there with an ice pack for 618 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: two weeks. Get going to work through it anyway. The 619 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: same is true for erectile dysfunction.

All right, So for those of you 637 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: who survives Playoff Week one, although I guess there's still 638 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: one more game to be played, so I'm I'm sure 639 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: there could be some more weirdness that happens. But for 640 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: those of you who are already locked in, you know 641 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: you're making it to Playoff week two. Figure we look 642 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: ahead and obviously we'll preview all the games when we 643 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: get to Thursday. Um, by the way, there are Saturday 644 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: games this week. Yeah, there's two Saturday games. Yeah, so 645 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: that's something to kind of keep an eye on. There 646 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: already a couple of Saturday games, so make sure you 647 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: are prepared for that as well. But looking ahead, we 648 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: each picked a hero and a villain that we predict 649 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: for Week two of the Fantasy football playoffs season, and 650 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: I'll start my my my Week two playoff hero is. 651 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm going with Brandon Cooks UM one because the Rams 652 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: offense two weeks in a row has not been particularly great. 653 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, but yeah it was one. It was a 654 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: little bit shocking. It was not shocking to see the 655 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: Bears slow them down, a little bit surprising to see 656 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: them sort of sputter against the Lions. But now they're 657 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: back home, They're gonna be back at the Coliseum on Sunday. Leave. 658 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: It's a Sunday night game against the Eagles, the same 659 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: Eagle secondary that's been beat up all year and we 660 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: saw get torched by a Mari Cooper. I see Brandon 661 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: Cooks sort of playing that a Marii Cooper role in 662 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: the Rams offense, being the deep threat, being the guy 663 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: that they take some shots to down the field and 664 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: he can get behind that secondary. And I feel like 665 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is all set up to have a really 666 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: big Fantasy playoff week at a time where certainly the 667 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Rams could use it. And I think a lot of 668 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: folks with Brandon Cooks on their roster, uh could use it. 669 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: The facts were also Wilson, why three words? Well is 670 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: it two words? Sam is sand? Sand is one word? 671 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco, That's that's what's one word? Also forty niner 672 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: because that's so that'd be three words. I'm going three 673 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: words there, and um, it's because of the matchup. It's 674 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: because Russell has owned the fourty niners in his career 675 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: and that's the matchup that I see Russell having. He 676 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: is going to put up a monster, monster stat line 677 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: for you. And Russell has always been a second half hero. 678 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: It's ridiculou It happens every single season. We talked about 679 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: in the first half how we're worried about Russell. He's 680 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: given you some inconsistent lines, and then the second half 681 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: comes and Russell turns into Superman. So I expect him 682 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: to put up a nice stat line against that NFC 683 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: West Fox. I don't know what it is about Pete 684 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: Carroll teams that just when it gets to November, they 685 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: turned it on. It was the same when he was 686 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: at USC. It's been the same in the NFL with 687 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Something about the calendar flipping over to November. 688 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll teams just seemed to turn it around. So 689 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, Graham, who you're looking at. I'm just 690 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: gonna be lazy and take the lay low hanging fruit 691 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: here and just say Mark Cooper, all right, that's fine. 692 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it gets the Colts next week. 693 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: We don't think anybody in the Colt says, anybody to 694 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: even remotely close come close to covering him. And he's 695 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: been the most explosive playmaker in the NFL, basically outside 696 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: of Tyreek Hill since Dallas traded for him. Yeah. No, 697 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: I have the problem with low hanging fruit. It's just 698 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: as tasty as regular fruit, and you don't have to 699 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: climb quite as far. It's fair point. Yeah, you know. Alright. 700 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: So on the flip side, if they're going to be heroes, 701 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: there are going to be villains. And my villain potentially 702 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: for next week in the fantasy playoffs Andrew Luck Um, 703 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, I know, he's had a bunch of good games, 704 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: but he's got the Cowboys and it's a a really 705 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: hot cowboy team with something to play for. And you 706 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: credit credit the Dallas defense because early on in that 707 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: game they kind of kept that thing close while the 708 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: offense was just blowing chances. I mean, they dominated the ball, 709 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: but they couldn't really score. They were settling for a 710 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: bunch of field goals. And the defense really clamped down 711 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: on the Eagles and kept that thing where the Cowboys 712 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: were in leaf for a long portion of it. I 713 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: finally just made some plays down the stretch, and I 714 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: just think they're gonna get after Andrew Luck. I think 715 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: that maybe he gives you a decent number, but it's 716 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: not going to be a spectacular number. And I think 717 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: if that's what you're needing to get through potentially to 718 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: your fantasy super Bowl, I think that the Cowboys may 719 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: make life tough on Andrew Luck this week. So there 720 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: you go. You know what, when we do our Facebook 721 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: thing this week, I'm wearing an Andrew Luk jersey. You 722 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: know I'm gonna do it. I did is sprowls last 723 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: weeks Sport, and I tweeted you and we still won. 724 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: This is five weeks in a row. Man. If it 725 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't fix it. And I I know, I 726 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 1: get it. The Cowboys defense is really good. Andrew looks 727 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: also really good at home, really good. So we'll see, 728 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: all right, who's your your villain for the week, Kenny Golladay, 729 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: who I told you to sit against the Cardinals. And 730 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: if you look at his matchups, dude, he has got 731 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: three tough matchups, including the one that he just had 732 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: against Patrick Peterson um over the next couple of weeks, 733 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: Stafford's lost in that offense. They don't I mean Zack 734 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: center really we all like like Garrett Plunt and they 735 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: gave the ball the Zenter. So now everyone's gonna freak out. 736 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: There's no one in Detroit you could start with any 737 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: kind of confidence, including Galladay. He's got really bad matchups 738 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. I believe this week coming up, 739 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: he's got Dradevious White. So Galladay is now someone that, 740 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: as great as he looked at different times, this sea 741 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: reason you simply cannot trust. And I also think that, 742 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: and we talked about this last week on the podcast too. 743 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Not only you're looking at points of production, you're also 744 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: looking at teams that that have sort of like tanked. Right. 745 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: The Lions are a team that's that's I mean, they're 746 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: just they're just they're not any good. The Cardinals aren't 747 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: any good. Uh, you know, Atlanta, they had sort of 748 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: been tanking to you know, Ryan had had a couple 749 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,479 Speaker 1: of late touchdowns and ended up with a decent stat line, 750 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: but a lot of their players haven't been producing as well. 751 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: So for Alliance team that has nothing to play for, 752 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: and uh, a bad matchup across the board here. Galaday 753 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: is someone that I I fear starting the rest of 754 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, I mean, he's been so good for 755 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: so long this season, but it has kind of come 756 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: crashing down the last few weeks. I think, you know, 757 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: losing Marvin Jones certainly, I think had an impact there. Uh, Graham, 758 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: who's your villain for for playoff Week two? Has to 759 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: be Cam Newton. Um dealing with a sore shoulder, you, 760 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: by the way, has not has not looked right. Um 761 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: during the Panthers five game losing stretches averaged only twenty 762 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: six rushing yards per game. In his are games of 763 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: the rest of the season, he was around forty six 764 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: rushing yards for a game the Saints. Uh. The Panthers 765 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: get the stands in Week fifteen, and the Saints have 766 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: not allowed a top ten quarterback in their last five games. 767 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: They've held Um uh pretty much every quarterback the last 768 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: five quarterbacks they've faced two under eighteen fantasy points. I 769 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: believe Matt Ryan needed forty seven past attempts to get 770 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: to the QP eleven finish when the Falcons played the 771 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: Saints back in Week twelve on Thanksgiving. I mean, you gotta. 772 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: But if you're if you're playing this deep in the 773 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: playoffs right now, Cam Newton cannot beat your starting quarterback. 774 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: And it's wild because he was in the midst of 775 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean really one of the best seasons, maybe the 776 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: best season he's had since his MVP season a couple 777 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: of years. And absolutely the other thing too, we and 778 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: we had talked about this probably about midway through the season. 779 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: His playoff schedule. It was great, so good it was 780 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: it was great, so good. Yeah, and uh, just he 781 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,439 Speaker 1: just has not been healthy, although it has been really 782 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: good things for Christian McCaffrey. So, I mean basically that 783 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: entire game they allowed they he did not throw deep 784 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: all but basically the entire game except for one play, 785 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: and it was wildly inaccurate. I mean, they just checked 786 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: the ball down to McCaffrey, they checked it to Samuel 787 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: Ian Thomas's average step to the target was like two yards. Um. Yeah, 788 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's well, I've really had to condense that 789 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: playbook because of camp the last two weeks. They brought 790 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: in Taylor Heineke to throw you into half hail Mary's. 791 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's where all right. I love that 792 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: that's where we are right now. So so good luck 793 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: to you if you made it through. But for those 794 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: of you who didn't, I'm sure you have hit me up, 795 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: probably with some Monday moning tweets. Eddie, I would assume 796 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: that we had a few said sad tales on Twitter today. 797 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: Of course I can mention, mind I did not. I 798 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: picked up the Giants defense, but I did not play them, 799 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: and I'm probably gonna get blown out anyway, but it 800 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: would have been nice to have my optimal lineup. And so, 801 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: like I started off with that one, let's do a 802 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: quick uh look at the waiver wire two before so, so, 803 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has got to be on the list. Elijah 804 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: McGuire's gotta be on the list. If Doug Martin's out 805 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: there Bengals this week, he's gotta be on the list. 806 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: Chris Connelly, Chris Ivory, if you're really hurting Um, Kenny 807 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: Stills right, Curtis Samuel Day, Shawn Hamilton's Ian Thomas is 808 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: another guy. And uh and I'm sure I missed a 809 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: couple of here defensively Seahawks and Buffalo. So you've mentioned 810 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. Yes, two games in a row. He's I'm 811 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: just saying the points have been there. He had a 812 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: touchdown two weeks ago, but he had like thirty seven yards. 813 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I just don't know what 814 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: to think with this, with this Miami. Yeah, they get 815 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: the Jackson. The Viking is their next two games too. 816 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: I just I don't know what to think about this 817 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: Miami offense. I can't with them. Um, you know, like 818 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake ends up with a decent day, but because 819 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: he scores a touchdown on that last nothing he had 820 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: seven touches total, he just one of them happened to 821 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: be like a sixty yard touchdown on a broken le 822 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, hooking lateral like we're just gonna throw the 823 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: ball around and try to get in the end zone 824 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: sort of play and if Gronk doesn't stumble and fall 825 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: and who knows what happens there. Yeah, it's funny too, 826 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: because you know when you hear that term hook and ladder. 827 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: What do you think of Well, I think of the Chargers. Well, actually, 828 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: actually actually nowadays Boise State. I think of Boise State too. 829 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: By State and the Fiesta Bowl. For me, I think 830 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins against the then San Diego Chargers in 831 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 1: that epic game in the playoffs. Who a three whenever 832 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 1: that was? Yeah, No, nowadays I just think of Boise 833 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: State and the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma and then Ian 834 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: Johnson proposing to his cheerleader. I think we got that too. 835 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,280 Speaker 1: I know that's so random, like, why would I remember 836 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: the random dude proposing to this cheerleader? But I remember 837 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, yeah, funny story about that. I 838 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: actually remember watching that game and almost leaving because Boise 839 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: States quarterback through a pick six late and I thought, well, 840 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: they had a good run. I think I'm gonna go 841 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: out and take a walk. I'm like, you know what, 842 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: I'll just stick around and watch the end of that game. 843 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: And boy, was I an't glad I did. So there 844 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: we go. Alright, let's see now we get the Monday 845 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: moment tweets. Uh so a couple of brewal ones this week. 846 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: We'll start off with this one from Brandy Parker played, 847 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley got seventeen twenty fantasy points. Thought I had 848 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: the league's number one running back. Uh oh man, yeah, 849 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you weren't gonna sit Todd Gurley because 850 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: you know Todd Gurley. But you know, against the Bears, 851 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: it was always in the realm of possibility. Uh. Stick 852 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: with the Rams. Here m Boucher rode golf minus six 853 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: lost me my matchup. Lamar Jackson is placed but of 854 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: one and handily hindu six. Man, that must be a 855 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: really rough score and that's really hard on interceptions. Yeah, man, 856 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: that's a rough scoring system. Uh. Go to defense now 857 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,240 Speaker 1: from fi Cell morally said, I sat the Bears defense 858 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: started the Saints twenty two points on my bench. Hey, 859 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: I would have done the same thing. The Saints were 860 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: good play this week and they ended up with a 861 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: decent stat line. Just the Bears went nuts daylor Meres wrote, 862 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: the only guy held in my fantasy from beginning to end. 863 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: I benched Kenyan Drake for Leshaw McCoy point one points 864 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: today when I needed to, when I needed twelve points 865 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 1: to win my playoff matchup. Uh, there's nothing you can 866 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: do about that. Boy obviously hurts his hands during the 867 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 1: middle of the game, Drake has the miracle played too. Basically, booie, 868 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: what was a horrible game for him? There's nothing you 869 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: could do? Yeah, a m hubbs. I played Brandon Cooks 870 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: over a Marii Cooper. Yeah, I mean again, I think 871 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: I had I had Cooper ranked ahead of them, but 872 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: they were close. I don't know, Yeah, I don't know 873 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: what they have to feel about that, like that's that's 874 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: a coin flip and it just didn't go your way. 875 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: Then we get in with this one because it could 876 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: lead into the conversation has come a bunch here in 877 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: this show about kickers. Um been in first place the 878 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: entire season, attend and three and in the first round 879 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: of the playoffs I lose by one point because of 880 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: Greg's arlines missfield goal. Yeah, well, yeah, it was a 881 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: bad day to be a kicker unless your name was 882 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: Mike Badgeley. And I think Bretton Mayor had a had 883 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,919 Speaker 1: a nice one too for the Pokes. So I still 884 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: love kickers. I don't care what anybody says. I think 885 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: I love I think I think. What I don't understand, 886 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: and I know we've talked about this, is that a 887 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: kicker misses a fuel goal or an extra point, and 888 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: everybody's like band kickers, And I'm like that would be 889 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: like if you know, hey, Jared Goff through four interceptions. 890 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: We're not trying to ban quarterbacks, you know what I'm saying. 891 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: So although some people may have hoped and wish that 892 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: he was banned after that game last night, cost him 893 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: at least that yeah, for sure, there you go. Oh 894 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: quick note that just came across here. Harbor not committing 895 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco as the starter. I really feel like, 896 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: I really feel like John Harball doesn't want to just 897 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: come out and say, hey, Lamar Jackson's our guy. They 898 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: want to keep kind of dancing around it, like just 899 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: well because then defenses kind of have to well maybe 900 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna use Flacco as well preparation, but he's the dude.
