Speaker 1: Friends Forever M Do To Do? Did D Do Do Do? Do?
Speaker 1: Do Do Do? Do? Don Too Yeah is as the
Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports alongside
Speaker 1: Franky Stamfull. I am Grege. What's going on abouday? Greggy here?
Speaker 1: We are getting ready for week nine? Who had dr
Speaker 1: A on the show today talking a lot of injury updates,
Speaker 1: A lot of injury updates in this games. Man to
Speaker 1: a Slaver and actor between the Raiders in the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners, the Battle of the Bay Area to
Speaker 1: be a fun one. Raiders three point Dogs the night
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. I don't get it, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I didn't get really confused by I didn't
Speaker 1: get it even before the c. J. Bethard injury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it means nothing to me, Like I don't get it
Speaker 1: because maybe I'm wrong. Like Derek carrs like a competent right, Well,
Speaker 1: he moved the ball down the field. He's thrown for
Speaker 1: a lot of yards this year. The team just struggles
Speaker 1: in the red zone. They haven't actually scored a lot
Speaker 1: of points. Look, there's no way around this. Both teams
Speaker 1: are bad. Like they're both one win teams, very bad. Like,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. The Raiders are a better
Speaker 1: team the forty niners. Right now, easily it's lost to
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They don't have a quarterback. Their quarterbacks someone
Speaker 1: named Nick Mullins. I don't know who that is, Chris Mullins,
Speaker 1: because Chris Mullins probably not. That's the point. I don't
Speaker 1: know who Nick Mullins is. Looking up, there's no S
Speaker 1: on the end of Chris. No, it's Chris Mullin and
Speaker 1: it's spelled in an eye. He's still a coach for St.
Speaker 1: John's as so this guy evidently with the Southern Miss
Speaker 1: he went undrafted. Here's era you're scouting reporter Nick Mullins
Speaker 1: potential starting quarterback tonight for the forty nine. He was
Speaker 1: signed to a reserve future contract this past January. He
Speaker 1: was waived in September of this year, then resigned from
Speaker 1: the act of roster once Jimmy g got hurt. Do
Speaker 1: you know, because I actually do know the answer to this,
Speaker 1: do you know who Nick mullins backup is tonight? If
Speaker 1: he does start and c J bat there doesn't play clipboard?
Speaker 1: Jesus no, good guess. I feel like he's everywhere, like
Speaker 1: he's just kind of like, uh not clipboard Jesus, um uh,
Speaker 1: this is out there. It's one of those guys, one
Speaker 1: of those guys. One of those guys start in the
Speaker 1: NFL every year and you can't understand how I know.
Speaker 1: I have a few names that are kind of like
Speaker 1: rattling around in my mind. Drew Stanton, no guest, excellent
Speaker 1: guess that was the one that was my game, that
Speaker 1: was the report. Jesus Andrew Stanton are like classics. How
Speaker 1: do these guys end up starting games? What they do?
Speaker 1: Stands in Cleveland like something. Oh and a great guest
Speaker 1: as well. He's in Philly. We were looking for Tom Savage.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we're looking for Tom Sava. You know what, I'd
Speaker 1: probably start Tom Savage. Yeah, like over Nick Mullin. He
Speaker 1: started a game. He's the opening name starter last year
Speaker 1: for he was Opening Day. That's where we're going with.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean regardless, I'm with you here. I'm
Speaker 1: with you here on hammering the Raiders tonight to win
Speaker 1: this game. I mean even with c J. Beffort, I
Speaker 1: just didn't understand. Again, both teams are bad. I think
Speaker 1: the Raiders are a little bit less bad. I guess
Speaker 1: what we're gonna go with here. But you know, they
Speaker 1: actually have a few more weapons. Matt Breda banged up.
Speaker 1: He's banged up every single week. He still finds a
Speaker 1: way to play every single week. Obviously we'll get more
Speaker 1: from dr A on that, but just I think a
Speaker 1: little better overall weapons. Offensive line played well for the
Speaker 1: Raiders last week. Doug Martin ran the ball well aside
Speaker 1: from that fumble. Janalen Richard doing his thing. They have
Speaker 1: a mishmash of wide receivers right now. The forday Niners
Speaker 1: can't cover anybody. Um yeah, I'm with you, I'm on
Speaker 1: the Raiders. C J. Beethard plays I'll take the over
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play. It's like the under I think
Speaker 1: I think that is actually a difference maker between them
Speaker 1: scoring like an extra touch on in this game. It
Speaker 1: is the first time in his life c J has
Speaker 1: ever been called a different speaker. Yeah. Well, when the
Speaker 1: total is forty five and a half on a Thursday
Speaker 1: night football game, Greg, you know, I love to hammer
Speaker 1: the names. It's really funny. Nick Boland starts, how can
Speaker 1: we depend on the Raiders to score more than like
Speaker 1: ten points? You know what's really funny is that when
Speaker 1: we started doing this on Thursday nights, always love the under,
Speaker 1: always of the unknowned Thursday nights. Yeah, but there's been
Speaker 1: a change though. Like last last year, ugly there was
Speaker 1: no points being scared. The pendulum has swung in the
Speaker 1: other way this season. Absolutely agree. It's, you know, it's
Speaker 1: too short of a week now. Defenses can't recover. It's
Speaker 1: it's not enough time to gain plan for your opponent.
Speaker 1: You just I mean, we've seen a lot of big
Speaker 1: plays happen on Thursday night. Um, there's just there's just
Speaker 1: a lot of points being scored right now. The pendulum
Speaker 1: has swung the other way, So you know, last Friday,
Speaker 1: I came here and I said, look, we need to
Speaker 1: hammer the over in every single Thursday night. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is the starting quarterback. Do you have any
Speaker 1: faith in that guy scoring points tonight? No idea, no idea. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: They're gonna start somebody named Nick Mullins tonight. The question becomes,
Speaker 1: and I have I do have this on my team?
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris tonight? That rid up practicing limited? You know
Speaker 1: that ankle still bother uh. He most practicing in a
Speaker 1: limited fashion. He's bothered and hampered as well. Was you
Speaker 1: start Alfred Morris tonight? Is there any way you can
Speaker 1: do that? I brought him up during the Waiver Wire
Speaker 1: show in case Matt Breeda doesn't play in this game.
Speaker 1: That's really the only way Brita could be as limited
Speaker 1: or missed the entire week and still end up getting fifteen,
Speaker 1: you know, to eighteen touches. So what he did this
Speaker 1: past week, so you know, if he plays, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to trust that they're going to give him the
Speaker 1: line's share of carries unless he gets hurt within game,
Speaker 1: and obviously we can't predict that. Totally totally agree with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco side outside of Brita as like
Speaker 1: high end flex maybe low d RB two, just because
Speaker 1: there's six teams on a by and it is a
Speaker 1: good match up against the Raiders. George Kittle is probably
Speaker 1: the only other startable fantasy option in this game. Mark
Speaker 1: he's Goodwin. I know he had the loan reception last
Speaker 1: week that he went to the house fifty yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: but you can't depend on that. His targets have been
Speaker 1: all over the place, especially with the quarterback situation up
Speaker 1: in the air. I don't want anything to do with
Speaker 1: the forty nine weapons outside of George Kittle and maybe
Speaker 1: Matt Breidae on the Raiders of things. I mean, there
Speaker 1: there's a there's a few guys here. I inc. I
Speaker 1: have Doug Martin starting as a flex option. Certainly, Jaylen
Speaker 1: Richard definitely in PPR. He's a low n RB two
Speaker 1: in half he's half and nine. He's I think he's
Speaker 1: a flex option. Um, same thing goes with's for Doug Martin.
Speaker 1: The forty Niners run defense actually started the year very well,
Speaker 1: but they've kind of fallen off here. So I like
Speaker 1: those two guys. Again, it's really just the running backs
Speaker 1: in the tight ends. If you look at it on
Speaker 1: both sides of the football. Here the forty Niners, George Kittle,
Speaker 1: the Raiders Jared Cook, I mean, top five tight end
Speaker 1: this year in terms of fantasy production. He's the one
Speaker 1: constant weekend and week out in this Raiders offense. For
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, it's a good matchup. You want to
Speaker 1: like it. But Hotty Nelson t share Joty Nelson, we
Speaker 1: can't trust uh saying you can't can't trust anybody from
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and Brandon la Fell to the architect Seth Roberts.
Speaker 1: It's kind of just all right, this guy is gonna
Speaker 1: get five targets forty yards. Who do you trust to
Speaker 1: offer you upside out of that group? Um, each one
Speaker 1: of these guys is not I would I would try
Speaker 1: and find anybody else as a wide receiver three, even
Speaker 1: with the six teams on a buy. Yeah, I'm totally
Speaker 1: with you. This is complete desperation. Nocaud. I know you
Speaker 1: want to target San Francisco, and it really could be anyone.
Speaker 1: It could be Jordy, it could be the architect. I'm
Speaker 1: not banging on LaFell and marquetis Brian at this point, Um,
Speaker 1: so you're desperate. What I feel most comfortable with probably
Speaker 1: Jordy Um then then Seth Roberts. But this is so frustrating.
Speaker 1: You look at this matchup for the Raiders wide receivers tonight.
Speaker 1: The past four games again against the posing wide receivers,
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense has allowed six touchdowns to wide
Speaker 1: receivers over the last four games, so they've been getting torched.
Speaker 1: You look at the past three games specifically, these are
Speaker 1: PPR points to opposing teams wide receiver corps forty four
Speaker 1: point three last week to the Cardinals, which Josh Rosent
Speaker 1: throwing in the football thirties, seven point one to the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams actually kind of limited the Rams, which
Speaker 1: is that was just a girly game. And then in
Speaker 1: Week six against Green Bay fifty three point four fantasy
Speaker 1: pp OUR points to opposing wide receivers obviously two sixty
Speaker 1: four yards and two touchdounds. That was MVS had a
Speaker 1: big game there, Davante Adams had a big game. It's
Speaker 1: a great matchup. There's just what do you trust out
Speaker 1: of the out of the Raiders wide receivers. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to do. Yeah, I just suck. It's it's too hard,
Speaker 1: it's too hard to figure out. I agree, it sucks.
Speaker 1: It sucks. If it's somewhere else, probably had no choice.
Speaker 1: That's Thursday Night football for you. Oh man? Uh? And
Speaker 1: I know these last two Thursday nightsill this week on?
Speaker 1: Who do we get on Monday Night? Oh? The Cowboys?
Speaker 1: How Boys? Titans? You know, I begged the football gods
Speaker 1: to stop giving us ut like Texas football teams in
Speaker 1: prime time. There's a little bit more luster around this
Speaker 1: game because we get to see the debut of a
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper. But still it's not great by any means.
Speaker 1: Do you know who the week ten? Looking at it
Speaker 1: matchup for Monday Night football is, Greg, Look, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull it up right now. Actually, no, no, before you
Speaker 1: look at it, please just guess. I don't know. I know,
Speaker 1: I guess it. So I know after that we we
Speaker 1: got we got Kansas City. It's potentially worse than tonight's game,
Speaker 1: serious Monday Night. So I know we have Kansas City
Speaker 1: and l A and the week the week after that
Speaker 1: or the two weeks after that, so that would be amazing.
Speaker 1: In Mexico City, they really want to. This is like
Speaker 1: a this is classic like w W E booking, right,
Speaker 1: Like they tear you down before they give you the
Speaker 1: main event. So Week eleven, Monday Night Football, you're saying,
Speaker 1: we have rams and cheese one of those two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Week ten, I'm telling you they're tearing you down. Do
Speaker 1: you know what Thursday Night football is a Week ten?
Speaker 1: I do not think it's the Panthers and somebody. It
Speaker 1: is solid game Carolina and Pittsburgh. Good game. That's more
Speaker 1: than AIDS good game. It's a very good game. So
Speaker 1: we're happy with that game. We're happy with that. But
Speaker 1: this is what they're doing. It's like one week we'll
Speaker 1: give you a great matchup, right, and we will give
Speaker 1: you Let me think about this. It's a terrible game,
Speaker 1: you're telling me Mondaynight football. Monday Night football? Is it?
Speaker 1: The Giants and the Niners. That's exactly rushed it? So
Speaker 1: so bad? Is that? And look that sucks? It should
Speaker 1: have been good man. The Giants got to be able
Speaker 1: to flex out, like we gotta we have to find
Speaker 1: a well, you know what Sunday night is. By the way,
Speaker 1: this Sunday night, no the night next week. This Sunday
Speaker 1: Night is great. The Battle of the Goats. Do you
Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers comments on that. He said, you know,
Speaker 1: one guy has five rings, the other has one. There's
Speaker 1: not much of a discussion. Love it. At least he
Speaker 1: knows that's um. Dallas is back in prime time vision.
Speaker 1: Eagles Dallas, Eagle Dallas really southa night football. We really
Speaker 1: have to get over this America's team thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's true they do bring the best ratings. I hate
Speaker 1: to say it, but yeah, because they have the most
Speaker 1: fans for no reason either. Sorry, I'm sorry, Corey. Why
Speaker 1: do thank you to the most man? The Cowboys are
Speaker 1: not a fun team to watch. They're just not. They
Speaker 1: played good defense and they run the football. I mean
Speaker 1: they're it's not They're not exciting games, No, Sarah, they're not.
Speaker 1: It might be close games, especially against the Eagles. I
Speaker 1: understand why they're doing it. NFC is up for grabs
Speaker 1: right now, like whatever, hm m hm um. All right,
Speaker 1: And I said a much more than football. No, there's
Speaker 1: not much when dr A coming up, by the way,
Speaker 1: so we could jump into like quarterback or Titan rankings
Speaker 1: if you just want to like throw it out there
Speaker 1: for now. I don't. I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: A little bit later on in the show, he's totally
Speaker 1: honest with you. Let's go over some of the headlines.
Speaker 1: How about that some of the non um non Thursday
Speaker 1: preview someone like the injury guys that we're gonna talk about, right,
Speaker 1: like whether these guys are practicing or not? We do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have anyone out yet. Yeah, so let's get into that.
Speaker 1: K QT Kicky Cutie is returning. He was clear to practice,
Speaker 1: which means he should be good to go for the
Speaker 1: games in a limited fashion yesterday. Yeah, so that's really good, uh,
Speaker 1: for him and for the Texans. You you thought he
Speaker 1: would not be active, he said yesterday he did not
Speaker 1: expect him to be active for this game. Have the
Speaker 1: opinions changed? Oh slightly? I mean, you know, I want
Speaker 1: to see how he goes to practice for the rest
Speaker 1: of the week, because just because you practice once doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you're gonna play. I mean, we saw a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago Dalvin Cook practice on Wednesday, a
Speaker 1: full practice, and he hasn't played for the next two games.
Speaker 1: So just because you practice doesn't mean that you're gonna go.
Speaker 1: So I haven't necessarily changed my opinion on it. Yet,
Speaker 1: let's see what happens the next two days. Okay, also
Speaker 1: returning imagined this yesterday Cooper Cup cleared for practice and
Speaker 1: they sat and then set on Sunday that if this
Speaker 1: is a playoff game, he would have played on that
Speaker 1: past Sunday. I was like, it doesn't necessarily mean it's
Speaker 1: coming back next week. And then dude plays what he
Speaker 1: thought was um, but now he practiced elemented fashion yesterday
Speaker 1: as well. He looks to be good to go for Sunday.
Speaker 1: Would you get Cooper Cup back in your lineup? Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: he's a He's gonna be a wide receiver to just
Speaker 1: based on the match up here. And I know the
Speaker 1: Saints defense has actually played better as of late. The
Speaker 1: addition of Eli Apple obviously strengthens their cornerbacks, their their
Speaker 1: secondary Marshawn Lattimore has bounced back here. Um, yeah, defense
Speaker 1: is just playing better. But a sixty point game total
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Saints in the Dome, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of points scored off Cooper Cup plays.
Speaker 1: He's a mid range wide receiver too. Okay, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. The mid range wide receiver to returning
Speaker 1: is Cooper Cup which is fantastic news, bad news for
Speaker 1: us with Josh Reynolds. Hey the way, who are we
Speaker 1: getting those waiver wire? By the way, haven't look we
Speaker 1: h we scooped up both Detroit Lions wide receivers being
Speaker 1: t J. Jones and Brandon Powell for for dirt cheap
Speaker 1: grades such a Floria thing. Look, I'm telling you these
Speaker 1: are how deep do these rosters go? There? They're like
Speaker 1: two man rosters, so like they're deep. The waiver wire
Speaker 1: is bad, like it's Barren Quincy noon. He was out there.
Speaker 1: I thought he was a sneaky ad. He went for
Speaker 1: over a hundred bucks. This isn't a thousand dollar budget.
Speaker 1: You know we have? We have, We still have over
Speaker 1: fifty of our budget left. I just asked for one
Speaker 1: favor this week. Looking at our starting lineup, I only
Speaker 1: want to take out one guy. Like the story lineup
Speaker 1: looks good, it looks strong. I haven't even said it.
Speaker 1: I thought you did. I might have. But there's one
Speaker 1: guy I want to take out. I think I did
Speaker 1: say I don't like him. Taylor Gabe, can I start whoever?
Speaker 1: I want to? Taylor Gabriel, give me. The only option
Speaker 1: that we really have though, is Marcus Valdo Scantling. That's
Speaker 1: who I'm putting in at New England m v S.
Speaker 1: It's going right into a lot of frank I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. I don't have a problem with that because
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel not only dealing with an injury, but at
Speaker 1: Buffalo gonna be cold weather there. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: defensive game, not a lot of points scored on either side.
Speaker 1: He could potentially be matched up with her Davious White
Speaker 1: as well if Alan Robinson doesn't play. Yes, So I'm
Speaker 1: alright taking Taylor Gabriel al for Marquez Bald I'm pumped
Speaker 1: about who are you playing? I do like Anthony Miller.
Speaker 1: Though I like Anthony Miller in that matchup, bills have
Speaker 1: been eaten up by slot receivers. We just do that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about within that game, because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm poo pooing the Bears passing attack. But I actually
Speaker 1: do like Anthony Miller as a sneaky wide receiver. Three
Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, I'm insured to see uh Florio's article
Speaker 1: that comes out today. Shame was plugged for Florio was shameful. Plug.
Speaker 1: That was shame full plug. He were playing its pretty good. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: this is a big match up because we're also four
Speaker 1: and four. He was very could be something that potentially
Speaker 1: matters for this thing. This is not good for us.
Speaker 1: He's lineup. I already kind of looked at it. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that's scared. But can I just tell
Speaker 1: you to look at it? Aaron Rodgers looking at it?
Speaker 1: It's the quarterback Aaron Rodgers. All right, we have Cam
Speaker 1: Newton against Tampa Bay. I like that matchup running backs
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson and Melvin Gordon. Alright, theoretic returning, so
Speaker 1: he's gonna take some reception from carry On and the
Speaker 1: Vikings have been pretty good against the run. I think
Speaker 1: he's canceled out by mark Ingram. Melvin Gordon is obviously
Speaker 1: better than Adrian Peterson, but it's a good matchup for
Speaker 1: Peterson against the Falcons too. I don't I don't mind
Speaker 1: where we're at right now? Does it get a lot worse.
Speaker 1: We're in a good spot here, all right, We're in
Speaker 1: let's us. We have our Antonio Brown versus Davante Adams.
Speaker 1: That's potentially a wash. Robert Woods against his tray Kwon Smith.
Speaker 1: I like our matchup a lot more mvs. Against Allen Robinson.
Speaker 1: You don't even know if Allen Robinson is gonna play,
Speaker 1: and even if he does, we just talked about how
Speaker 1: whoever's the number one wide receiver in that game is
Speaker 1: gonna see you Davious White in a defensive battle. So mvs.
Speaker 1: Over Allen Robinson, we have grown against Kyle rough who
Speaker 1: you know, they're basically the same person at the point
Speaker 1: they will suck er all right. I like his Tariko
Speaker 1: and better than our Aaron Jones. I like Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: is a fight. Yeah, we're in a good spot. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about pounded. Feeling much better now, appreciate Go next.
Speaker 1: Dr A from Inside Injuries joins the program and give
Speaker 1: us the latest on all the injuries around the league.
Speaker 1: Franks Damville, Greg. So you're Fantasy DFS back after this
Speaker 1: Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players.
Speaker 1: We don't just give you premier advice. We play every day,
Speaker 1: all major sports, all year round. We never stopped industry
Speaker 1: leading DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily
Speaker 1: Roado dot Com optimized in minutes, building, optimized line up
Speaker 1: for cash games and turneys learned from the game's best
Speaker 1: DFS players joined Daily rohdo dot com. It just read
Speaker 1: a report by the way about Randy Orton saying, you know,
Speaker 1: he's in Saudi Arabia and like, what do you feel like?
Speaker 1: John C didn't show up? He's like does he even
Speaker 1: Wressell anymore? And like yeah, and they were just like listening.
Speaker 1: I got five kids, the babe. Yet, that's a load
Speaker 1: of money to come here. I'll go where they tell
Speaker 1: me to go. Who's that other dudes who his whole
Speaker 1: stick was kids? That's Randy. I got five kids. I
Speaker 1: got five kids. I got Yeah, I gotta do my thing,
Speaker 1: isn't it? With like multiple women too? Yeah, he's married
Speaker 1: kind so I think you know he's had like a
Speaker 1: weird background randyo. Yeah, we'll get in that off the air.
Speaker 1: But like he I think he's had like two wives.
Speaker 1: That wasn't like multiple multiple we're both of them like
Speaker 1: within the w W kind of No. No, I don't
Speaker 1: know either of them were. Yeah, it could be wrong
Speaker 1: about that. Maybe he had a fling with one of them.
Speaker 1: He definitely definitely could have all right, I don't know
Speaker 1: who I don't know. All right, again, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: it off here on. Yeah, we're gonna talk to dr
Speaker 1: from Inside Injuries. It's going on, Doc, how are you guys?
Speaker 1: I was trying to see what the injury angle was here,
Speaker 1: you know, with that conversation, but I couldn't come up
Speaker 1: with anything. Oh, we were just trying to maybe you do.
Speaker 1: Do you know who ran new Orton marriage? Who's your
Speaker 1: favorite wrestler? Doctor? Unfortunately, there's not many injuries in wrestling.
Speaker 1: Injuries and wrestling. What are you talking about? Fake injuries, Greg,
Speaker 1: Fake injuries? Yes, so, unfortunately it's hard to protect fake injuries.
Speaker 1: They're not fake. There's major concussions, there are born a
Speaker 1: c l s. Roman reins has Lukenia. Doc Lukenia very sad, laughing.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Let's get in. Let's get into some real
Speaker 1: injuries on the NFL field, which you can help us with.
Speaker 1: We ended last segment talking about Cooper Cup and his
Speaker 1: return from injury. Um, it's been a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: we believe. Virginia told us last week he had a
Speaker 1: great two sprain m c l um. He expects to
Speaker 1: return this week. Is that too soon? It is? It's Uh,
Speaker 1: it's too soon. It's a great to m c l
Speaker 1: s brain. You know, these things take longer to heal.
Speaker 1: He's putting himself an extra jeopardy by doing that. Right now,
Speaker 1: we're showing that he is fifty and so week ten
Speaker 1: he'll be back up to eight percent, which is at
Speaker 1: peak health and our system. So he is still twenty
Speaker 1: seven percentage points away from being completely ready to go,
Speaker 1: and his injury risk is there's no reason why he
Speaker 1: should be starting this week. Um, he would be putting
Speaker 1: in and be jeopard jeopardizing the rest of the season
Speaker 1: if he does come back this week. It's so interesting
Speaker 1: because it's literally the Raiders are the Raiders. The Rams
Speaker 1: are eight. No here, if you if no, there's no
Speaker 1: reason to exactly would rush him back for one week?
Speaker 1: If you just see him for one extra week, you'll
Speaker 1: be fine because it's a match up with the Saints.
Speaker 1: You're probably right, and they have something to prove here.
Speaker 1: You probably the reason, probably right, But I'm with dr like,
Speaker 1: why would you rush the guy back? You're thinking about
Speaker 1: the long haul and I know you know the Rams
Speaker 1: keep making these additions. They added Dante Fowler. Eventually they're
Speaker 1: gonna get a keep to lead back. People are talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams potentially going undefeated sixteen and no,
Speaker 1: I mean you almost want to lose a game at
Speaker 1: some point. You don't want to go into the playoffs
Speaker 1: undefeated because it just creates a lot of pressure. Um,
Speaker 1: speaking of pressure, Wow, tonight's game, I mean two teams
Speaker 1: that both don't seem like they want to win. But
Speaker 1: from the from the horty Niners side here, uh C J.
Speaker 1: Bethard is quote fifty fifty exactly with a with a
Speaker 1: risk injury. And then Matt Reed just continues to deal
Speaker 1: with this ankle injury. But every single week it's like
Speaker 1: he barely practices, but he still plays and he's like
Speaker 1: mildly effective. So what do you have on those two
Speaker 1: guys or the forty Niners games tonight against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: So quarterback wise, this is a throwing risk injury. So
Speaker 1: even if it's only a grade one, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: this is a throwing hand injury. This makes it so
Speaker 1: much more worse than it, you know, than kind of
Speaker 1: the minor classification that it's given. Um, you know, do
Speaker 1: you guys may be surprised of what I'm about to say,
Speaker 1: but This takes a while to heal. If you're talking
Speaker 1: about healing this type of injury, it is a optimal
Speaker 1: covery time of three weeks, okay to really get this,
Speaker 1: because the moment he feels a little pain on throwing
Speaker 1: within the game, it's pretty much downhill from there, and
Speaker 1: so it's a Grade one injury to the throwing hand
Speaker 1: slash wrist. Week eleven is where we see it right now.
Speaker 1: He is he right now, he's not even a fifty
Speaker 1: in our mind that risk. It's at elevated injury risk.
Speaker 1: But you know that's where he is, Matt Brida. You
Speaker 1: know again, we're all we've been saying over and over
Speaker 1: week ten, week ten, week ten, and he keeps coming
Speaker 1: back and playing and having really ineffective uh types of starts.
Speaker 1: And it's because you know, he is he's not at
Speaker 1: peak health and he's at high injury risk and he
Speaker 1: needs to stay So that is no stay off the field.
Speaker 1: So his numbers get back into that peak health above
Speaker 1: eight percent type of mark, and he's just slowly getting
Speaker 1: there because he continues to play, and he continues to
Speaker 1: set himself back every time he plays through this type
Speaker 1: of injury. So I have two takes here. Greg, even
Speaker 1: it sucks for Matt Brida because it's a great matchup.
Speaker 1: Over the last month, the Oakland Raiders have allowed the
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to opposing running backs, so it's a
Speaker 1: great matchup for Brida. I have a feeling that they're
Speaker 1: gonna just rush him back out there again, because that's
Speaker 1: what he's continued to do. Um, But I look, he's
Speaker 1: in the flex discussion for tonight. As for the forty Niners,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if beth Or doesn't play. But
Speaker 1: here's your hot take, Greg. Nick Mullins gets either knocked
Speaker 1: out or bench. At some point, Tom Savage leads a
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick back tonight, You're gonna see it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like the wildest Thursday Night game of all Bryan Fitzpatrick, Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: took a step back at that. By the way, Um, Frank,
Speaker 1: my body asked me a question regardless of Thursday, my game.
Speaker 1: So if you give a quick as to be great,
Speaker 1: he asked Savante Parker, DeShawn Jackson, David Moore, and Mark
Speaker 1: He's Goodwin picked two. How does this affect Oh, Marky's good? Well,
Speaker 1: he's out of that discussion. It was who Devantae Parker,
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson, even more Davanta Parker. All right, you way
Speaker 1: up against the Jets. I'll go dr right, you heard it?
Speaker 1: You think about it's my friend. Um, we thought you
Speaker 1: dry from inside injuries and Doc, we saw that Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill return to practice this yesterday and there's a big
Speaker 1: scare about if he would be good to go. What
Speaker 1: is his injury and how serious is it? Grade one
Speaker 1: groin injury wide receiver? You know, doesn't you know? Hamstring
Speaker 1: injuries are much worse for wide receivers. So this grade
Speaker 1: one groin he should he'll takes two weeks, Okay, so
Speaker 1: you know I know he's full. He did full practice Wednesday,
Speaker 1: which is a good sign. However, we really and strongly
Speaker 1: don't believe he should play this week. He should give
Speaker 1: a week rest and come back on week at week ten,
Speaker 1: because he's at sixty right now by game time, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I think they're playing Sunday, right,
Speaker 1: Chiefs playing Sunday? Yes? Right? Yeah, So by so by Sunday,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be at seventy seventy Um, you know,
Speaker 1: so one more week he'll be well above eight percent
Speaker 1: back to peak health. But if he comes back this week,
Speaker 1: he won't be anywhere near where he should be. So yeah,
Speaker 1: one more week is what we're recommending. And I like
Speaker 1: the sound of that too. Chris Venture downstairs licking at
Speaker 1: his shop for Sammy Watkins. Uh, and of course this
Speaker 1: is going to be the game where we get excited
Speaker 1: about Watkins and he lets us down. Of course. Uh dr,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Sony Michelle. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously still dealing with this knee injury. I feel like
Speaker 1: the smartest thing to do is to just rest him
Speaker 1: through thereby. I believe this team has a week eleven
Speaker 1: by Like it sucks for fantasy, but kind of going
Speaker 1: back to what we've talked about with the other running
Speaker 1: backs all season long, like, especially running backs of this
Speaker 1: calibert just give your guys the opportunity to heal and
Speaker 1: get healthy, especially for a team like the Patriots want
Speaker 1: to make a run deep into the postseason. So, Sony Michelle,
Speaker 1: do we expect him this week? And if he does play,
Speaker 1: what level of of effectiveness will he be at? The
Speaker 1: pathway that the Patriots should take? Is is such an
Speaker 1: it doesn't any sense to deter off this path. They
Speaker 1: have a week eleven by. This is perfect. He's supposed
Speaker 1: to come back and under our algorithms and metrics alan
Speaker 1: week eleven, so he really actually gets another week to rest.
Speaker 1: Patriots are winning, you know, they want him to be
Speaker 1: deep into the season. There is no rhyme or reason
Speaker 1: why he shouldn't come back until week twelve. After the
Speaker 1: week eleven by, give him some more time to rest,
Speaker 1: being careful, be safe. Will they do that? That's that's
Speaker 1: the question. Do we see him this week and especially
Speaker 1: in a match against the Packers kind of similar situation
Speaker 1: to the to the Rams playing Cooper Cup. You probably
Speaker 1: don't want to play Sony Michelle. I fear the Patriots,
Speaker 1: but if you kind of want to put your foot
Speaker 1: in the ground and you know, prove that you can
Speaker 1: hang with you know, the upper echelon teams in the NFL,
Speaker 1: I mean, they might want to go out there and
Speaker 1: hammer the Packers and maybe they're thinking is to do that,
Speaker 1: we need Sony Michelle in the field. But you may
Speaker 1: you may lose Sony Michelle for the rest of the
Speaker 1: year if you do. That's the thing. I mean, I
Speaker 1: agree with Dr A. But the thing is, do the
Speaker 1: Patriots agree. That's that's the question that we'll find out.
Speaker 1: See what We'll see what he does in the next
Speaker 1: couple of days of practice. If he doesn't play, did
Speaker 1: he played, Cordarrel Patterson, Ah, Man, that's just that's got
Speaker 1: to be in the deepest of Lee's you. I mean you,
Speaker 1: your whole team pretty much has to be in a buy.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to depend on that. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Dr A from Inside Injuries. Doc imagined Tyree Hill being
Speaker 1: out or later leaving a game early this past Sunday. Well,
Speaker 1: also in a sneaky way, Savon Diggs left the game
Speaker 1: early on Sunday and he did not practice yesterday. What's
Speaker 1: the latest you're reading and hearing on him? So? Um,
Speaker 1: second quarter last game, he did suffer this rib injury.
Speaker 1: We're listing in as a Grade one. UM. I most
Speaker 1: likely he did receive pain management and got back into
Speaker 1: the game. He had a great game last week, so um,
Speaker 1: it didn't really impact him, but didn't practice Wednesday. I
Speaker 1: think the Vikings are sort of touch and go on
Speaker 1: this UM. We're recommending that he takes because wide receivers
Speaker 1: get hit in the thorax area, the chest area, and
Speaker 1: so if they know, if the opposing team knows that
Speaker 1: someone's playing to a rib injury. The rule of thumb
Speaker 1: is is when you tackle a guy, go at that
Speaker 1: rib injury. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is. In
Speaker 1: order to prevent that, they should rest him a week.
Speaker 1: He's at injury risk right now. The reason why is
Speaker 1: because of of the hits that wide receivers take to
Speaker 1: their chest area. And so one more week he should
Speaker 1: completely recover. It's a Grade one injury. It's not a
Speaker 1: fracture or anything like that. He just needs time to
Speaker 1: heal and to get you know, to get past this point.
Speaker 1: If he does play this week, look out for the
Speaker 1: first four or five hits and then boom, he may
Speaker 1: be on the sideline for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: And Stefon Digs typically a guy who has been injury
Speaker 1: prone theast couple of years. So healthy for the most
Speaker 1: part this year, but yeah, the Vikings need to protect
Speaker 1: him from himself to especially in what is not a
Speaker 1: great matchup going up against the Detroit Lion. Stefon Diggs
Speaker 1: typically plays on the outside. It seems like he would
Speaker 1: be shadowed by Darius Slay a lot in that game.
Speaker 1: We know Adam Feeling it plays predominantly the slot the
Speaker 1: season where he has dominated, and cover corners don't typically
Speaker 1: move into the slot, so I don't expect that to happen. Doc.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about another mark Kee wide
Speaker 1: receiver here, and that's Mike Evans who actually didn't practice
Speaker 1: on Wednesday due to a knee injury. What's the latest
Speaker 1: on Mike Evans and should we expect him this week?
Speaker 1: So other than hamstring injuries, knee injuries are you know,
Speaker 1: the second most impactful to wide receivers. Um. And so
Speaker 1: it's a it's a grade one knee injury. Didn't practice Wednesday,
Speaker 1: as you said, UM, and the optic recovery for this
Speaker 1: is two weeks. So right now, conservatively week ten is
Speaker 1: when he should come back. And you know that they're
Speaker 1: kind of downplaying this injury, but based on all of
Speaker 1: his previous stats and previous injury history, you know, we're
Speaker 1: only showing him right now at by game time, UM,
Speaker 1: you know he should be back up to you know,
Speaker 1: maybe ten percent less than peak, probably be up in
Speaker 1: above average category. But if you really want to wait
Speaker 1: till he gets the peak, it will be week ten,
Speaker 1: not week nine. So, um, you know, that's really kind
Speaker 1: of the situation there. I mean, if they can afford it,
Speaker 1: they should be they should rest him for a week
Speaker 1: and come back week ten. I assume there's no way
Speaker 1: they rest him, right, Frank, Yeah, I mean, look, the Bucks,
Speaker 1: the Bucks need him if they if they have any yeah,
Speaker 1: to have any opportunity against the Carolina Panthers. But I
Speaker 1: will say, going back to what you asked me the
Speaker 1: question earlier, I think the change to right Fitzpatrick helps
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson and maybe the fact that Mike Evans is
Speaker 1: not a percent also helps Deshan Jackson, who wanted to
Speaker 1: get traded at the deadline, but that didn't happen. So
Speaker 1: to answer your buddy's question, Deshan Jackson is definitely one
Speaker 1: of them. And depending on Dr A's next answer, that
Speaker 1: is how we're going to feel about Vanta Parker. Because Doc,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Kenny Stills, who didn't
Speaker 1: play last week, but now it looks like he's been
Speaker 1: practicing in limited fashion. Do we expect Kenny Stills to
Speaker 1: go this week? Because obviously that would affect the fancy
Speaker 1: output of one Davanta Parker. So that's a duel. It's
Speaker 1: a two two part answer. So, uh, you know, so
Speaker 1: this particular injury is a groin injury. It's a grade
Speaker 1: one groin um. You know, he injured in week seven
Speaker 1: and it's a minor groin injury. And for wide receivers
Speaker 1: that healed this pretty quickly when they rest, and he
Speaker 1: has rested, you know, and so two weeks recovery. He
Speaker 1: he's for this particular injury, we're projecting week nine, so
Speaker 1: he's on track for that. However, before the injury started,
Speaker 1: he was already at elevated injury risk and close to
Speaker 1: high injury risk, so we kind of predicted this injury
Speaker 1: a little bit. And now because of this injury, he's
Speaker 1: not coming back to normal numbers. He's at the highest.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his seven right now, and that's where
Speaker 1: he is. And so if he comes back and plays,
Speaker 1: which he should, he'll be at seventy three percent. He
Speaker 1: won't be at peak health. And guests, get look at
Speaker 1: this number. Twenty nine percent injury risk in this next
Speaker 1: game coming up, that's a one in the three chance
Speaker 1: almost to get injured again. So he is a great player,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, don't be surprised if he
Speaker 1: will get injured in this game. It's just because of
Speaker 1: his history and you know his player nucleus and his
Speaker 1: injury injuries that he sustained previously. It's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. But his groin injury will be healed. Greg,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to correct what I what
Speaker 1: I said before when I was asking Dry about Stills,
Speaker 1: because there was there were reports this here that he
Speaker 1: did practice, and updated that report and said that he
Speaker 1: didn't practice. So he was around, but it was he's around.
Speaker 1: I think even if he's on the field this week,
Speaker 1: he's more of a decoy than anything problem. I like
Speaker 1: Devanta Parker, especially in this matchup against the Jets. Over
Speaker 1: the last month, the Jets have allowed the fourth most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. So I'll go with
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson and DeVante Parker To answer your buddy's question. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a good answer. Inside injury supports that answer. There
Speaker 1: you go, Doc, just a couple more for you, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to get into some of these young running backs.
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman missed last week with Denver. We saw DeVante
Speaker 1: Booker get a chance to step up with will Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman play this week for the Broncos. Well, he shouldn't, um,
Speaker 1: you know, grade two high ankle spraining. It's not a
Speaker 1: soft tissue or grade one. This is actually level to
Speaker 1: the level of a grade two. Uh. You know injured
Speaker 1: week seven, um, and he missed week and he's did
Speaker 1: he didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a typical
Speaker 1: four week recovery time. He was low injury risk and
Speaker 1: peak health before this injury, so he can get back
Speaker 1: to peak health right now because of his you know,
Speaker 1: limited injury history. He's he's back into low injury risk,
Speaker 1: but his his performance prediction is fifty four percent right now,
Speaker 1: so he's nowhere near completely the peak health yet. And
Speaker 1: so that fifty can get up to you just have
Speaker 1: to wait till week eleven. Unfortunately. Well that's not unfortunate,
Speaker 1: actually it's Yeah, that helps you because you're a DeVante
Speaker 1: booker owner. Uh and yeah, this match up against the Texans,
Speaker 1: we just saw what he did last week. He ran
Speaker 1: very effectively. You know, he'll probably be in that ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen touch range again. So he comes in as
Speaker 1: a as a low ind flex option against the Texans.
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay once again a high end RB two. Not
Speaker 1: as good of a matchup this week, but we still do.
Speaker 1: Like Philip Lindsay, I want to ask you about my
Speaker 1: j E. T S Jets Jet Jets, Quincy and Noon
Speaker 1: Wa not practice on Wednesday, still dealing with this ankle injury.
Speaker 1: You know, they gave him like a two to four
Speaker 1: week timetable. Obviously he's been injury prone in the past
Speaker 1: two Um, we expect Quincy Num back this week or
Speaker 1: is he still a couple of weeks away? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean for this particular injury, it's a great two high
Speaker 1: ankle sprain and uh, we're looking at week ten, so
Speaker 1: he shouldn't come back at week nine. But this is
Speaker 1: a guy unfortunately, Um, you know, he's had multitude of injuries.
Speaker 1: His player nucleus looks like it's busting out of its
Speaker 1: seems there's so many injuries in the past. He was
Speaker 1: high injury risk before this injury and he's gonna stay
Speaker 1: there at he's at forty injury risk right now and
Speaker 1: below average at forty one of performance prediction. This is
Speaker 1: a guy if he plays this week, even if he's
Speaker 1: potentially healed in week ten or you know in week
Speaker 1: ten from this particular high ankle spraining, this is a
Speaker 1: guy we would call in fantasy terms that you've got
Speaker 1: to get off your roster. You have to find value
Speaker 1: for him with somebody else. So it looks like Quincy Nuon,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna play this week if you're still holding Ontom.
Speaker 1: I think for PPR, we saw what he did earlier
Speaker 1: in the year when he got all those targets. So
Speaker 1: even if he plays, don't trust him this week, but
Speaker 1: you know, maybe come next week's time again, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna continue to hammer down on on Chris Herndon this
Speaker 1: week as the bye week replacement tight end um. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins have a lot of five touchdowns of tight ends
Speaker 1: over the last three game. I'm knowing with the German
Speaker 1: crushing after being burned for the last ye weeks, I
Speaker 1: only bring up Chris Herndon because he's the only Jets
Speaker 1: pass catcher that you want to rely on in this matchup.
Speaker 1: All right, dr A, we appreciate the time. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Man. Thanks guys, have a
Speaker 1: good week. Awesome. There you go. Week ten. Dr A
Speaker 1: approved is your answer to my butey, There you go.
Speaker 1: Davante Parker. He's he's gonna be really mad at United Mark.
Speaker 1: He's giving scores. On to the next one. Okay, indeed,

Speaker 1: just go with Danny Avendola. Who is taller, Frank or
Speaker 1: Gregg Frank am? I yeah, slightly right? Whatever should we
Speaker 1: like stand up so people could see your five ten? Yes? Ish?
Speaker 1: All right? So undoubtedly me yea, would you drop yelled
Speaker 1: in for Josh Adams. Jeremy McMahon is asking Jeremy what
Speaker 1: Jeremy meek Man? Okay? Cool? When I dropped t J
Speaker 1: yelled in for Josh Adams? No not? Why is that? Well?
Speaker 1: Someone could be the early downs back coming out of
Speaker 1: the by, or he could be fourth. Good point yelling
Speaker 1: could be first or third. So so there you go.
Speaker 1: That just kind of shows you the wide range of
Speaker 1: possibilities when it comes to both running backs. I'm with Greg,
Speaker 1: I'll keep t J yelled in. There are boy Leland
Speaker 1: asks Chris Carson, Chris Carson, Nick Chubb, Austin Ekela or
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle. Yeah, I'm gonna go with I like Chris
Speaker 1: Carson for sure. Based on the usage and how often
Speaker 1: the Seahawks a running the football, Greg, do you realize
Speaker 1: that no team in football is running the ball more
Speaker 1: than Seattle Seahawks. I did know that the time they
Speaker 1: don't pass the ball crazy don't pass absolutely crazy. I
Speaker 1: will go with Chris Carson, and who are the other options?
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, Nick Chubb, Austin Ekela going Nick Chubb against
Speaker 1: Kensey it's it's Chubb and Carson. Both are inside my
Speaker 1: top fifteen. This week running Down, Ryan Stevens asked Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones or Tyler Lockett. Tyler Lockett's been getting it done.
Speaker 1: He's just not seeing a ton of targets. Tougher matchup
Speaker 1: for Marvin Jones. We don't know who's going to see
Speaker 1: Xavier Rohads, whether it' Tim or Kenny Golladay. But based
Speaker 1: on the way his targets have been trending up and
Speaker 1: the fact that Golden Tate is out of town, more
Speaker 1: opportunity for Marvin Jones, I'll take him. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: That's one of those where you have to weigh opportunity
Speaker 1: and target share versus the matchup Tyler Lockett. I mean,
Speaker 1: not a great matchup by any means either. The Charger
Speaker 1: secondary is pretty good, but I would say it's a
Speaker 1: It's an easier matchup for Locket, but there's more targets,
Speaker 1: more opportunity for Marvin Jones. Okay, Um do one more
Speaker 1: from chat before we get to your rankings this week,
Speaker 1: David Moore or m v S. So we were just
Speaker 1: talking about the Chargers secondary, who are pretty much middle
Speaker 1: of the pack in it against wide receivers this year.
Speaker 1: UM more points expected to be scored in the Patriots game.
Speaker 1: Oh man, this is a tough one because you know,
Speaker 1: like like you said, and we brought up David Moore,
Speaker 1: I mean, his targets had pretty much been right on
Speaker 1: par with Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett the past three games.
Speaker 1: Like there, it's it's a wide receiver by committee there.
Speaker 1: The thing is yep, and you trust that in a
Speaker 1: game with the fifty three and a half total or
Speaker 1: fifty I think fifty six and a half more points
Speaker 1: expected in the Packers. Um, it's risky just because we
Speaker 1: only have that one week sample of all these Packers
Speaker 1: being healthy together. I'll take markets Valdi Scandling though it's close.
Speaker 1: It's good job by you like that. Let's get the
Speaker 1: phone line four four four three six seven nine eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six seven nine. Will begin
Speaker 1: with West in California. What's up West? Hey, good morning, fellas.
Speaker 1: What's going on in much man needed some help with
Speaker 1: my flex. You know, I got a Thursday night game
Speaker 1: with one of my players, and um, I got my
Speaker 1: lineup set up, and um, I just wanted to see
Speaker 1: if you guys could help me adjust that if if
Speaker 1: need be. But um, okay, So I ended up picking
Speaker 1: up D J. Moore, Um you know, off the wire
Speaker 1: I got. I picked up Kick Cutie too, he was
Speaker 1: on there as well. And you know I got my
Speaker 1: wide receivers are A J. Green who's on the by,
Speaker 1: And um I got Davante Adams playing in the in
Speaker 1: the in the number one. Al Right, so what was
Speaker 1: your flex profit? Great? Your lot is awesome. Well what's
Speaker 1: the flex question? Oh? Okay, So in my flex right now,
Speaker 1: I have Breda as an option or uh the only
Speaker 1: other player that I have available is uh O J. Howard.
Speaker 1: And I know it's not you know, it's not always
Speaker 1: a good thing to play two tight ends. But if
Speaker 1: I would have did that last week, I would have
Speaker 1: had more of a better chance to win last week
Speaker 1: if I had played all J. Howard. Yeah. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but what format is this? Uh? Full PPR? This is
Speaker 1: this is a great question because as I mentioned, it's
Speaker 1: it's a good matchup for Matt Breeded tonight, but you
Speaker 1: risk him re injuring himself. O J. Howard, who typically
Speaker 1: plays better with Ryan Fitzpatrick going up against the Panthers,
Speaker 1: who I don't know if you realize this, Greig allowed
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year.
Speaker 1: They've allowed five touchdowns to be scored. They've also allowed
Speaker 1: two games with over a hundred receiving yards allowed to
Speaker 1: tight ends. I think I just kind of talked myself
Speaker 1: into O. J. Howard. I know it's crazy to run
Speaker 1: the two tight ends set, but I'm kind of worried
Speaker 1: about either this game getting out of hand tonight, you know,
Speaker 1: Matt Breed to re injuring himself, um, just the overall
Speaker 1: effectiveness of the forty Niners offense. I'll take O J. Howard,
Speaker 1: who gets Ryan Fitzpatrick back as his quarterback. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think I would too, especially with question with Nick. It
Speaker 1: was a surprisingly good question because Nick Bollin's at quarterback,
Speaker 1: potentially Matt Brita, who could leave the game any moment.
Speaker 1: Like I like Breeda, he was healthy, I would start Breeda,
Speaker 1: but he literally could play one play and done. With
Speaker 1: that angle, it's risky though, because it's a good matchup
Speaker 1: that one player could go for like a fifty yard touchdown.
Speaker 1: I might change my mind. It sucks, I might change
Speaker 1: my mind. The Panthers are allowing the most fantasy points
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends. Um, I don't know if West
Speaker 1: is still there, and I would like to know who
Speaker 1: was other tight ends because you know, maybe the other
Speaker 1: tight end isn't all that great. Um. Yeah, I'm using O. J. Howard.
Speaker 1: I'm using J. Howard and point Breda. All right, you
Speaker 1: gonna have to call into the frenzy to get the
Speaker 1: deciding vote there, Breed, I'm sorry, man, I'm talking myself
Speaker 1: into Howard. Let's go to Jonathan in North Carolina. What's up, Jonathan? Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I gotta similar situation involvement tonight. Um, due to obviously
Speaker 1: a lot of buys this week, I'm running the Corey
Speaker 1: Parsons Special twelve personnel at the moment, two tight ends. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm just a little worried about George Kittle Um fair enough,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty heavily. And I'm just worried about
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins possibly playing to night and you know, laying
Speaker 1: an egg really al right, So what's your question. I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, really, I'm it's killing me on Thursday because
Speaker 1: everybody that I have available that's not on a bias
Speaker 1: questionable you know, Randall cop Kiki, q Ta, Peyton Barber,
Speaker 1: Davin Cook. I'm sure he's not gonna play it and
Speaker 1: played all year. Um, I feel like I don't have
Speaker 1: a better option. But well, well, hold on, well I
Speaker 1: think you do. Little Let's let's talk about this, right.
Speaker 1: If your option is that the flex with George Kittle
Speaker 1: versus Randall, Cobb or Q and three of those four
Speaker 1: guys are gonna play, I believe right, so onlier to
Speaker 1: side between Kittle and those guys, is that is that
Speaker 1: the only decision you have to make one of those
Speaker 1: guys or George Kid here's your other tight end? Is
Speaker 1: my other tight end? Yeah, it hasn't been great one.
Speaker 1: It's not had one great I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start Kiddle at tight end. I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: kidding Burton as well. Even if Nick Mollin's place, he's
Speaker 1: gonna need a safety valve middle of the field. George Kittle,
Speaker 1: good match up against the Raiders, just got torched by
Speaker 1: the Colts last week allowed three touchdowns to their tight ends.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I'm I'm gonna start Kiddle at
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, I'm gonna st Kittle at tight end
Speaker 1: as well. And I think for the flex question, we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes. I'm gonna lean toward Peyton Barber obviously, Frank,
Speaker 1: you know why you don't want a Thursday night player
Speaker 1: in your flex. Absolutely not Kiddle at the tight end.
Speaker 1: And then Sunday you can decide between Trey Burton, Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. But you know, as more information comes out
Speaker 1: whether these guys are going to play. Look, you know
Speaker 1: I don't like Peyton Barber. I've made that known all year.
Speaker 1: But he's you know, he just got eighteen carries last week.
Speaker 1: Going up against Carolina, the offense will be able to
Speaker 1: move the fall the ball with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback,
Speaker 1: so he could be a viable flex option, especially one
Speaker 1: that I would start over Trey Burton. Use Kittle tonight
Speaker 1: in the titant, don't. That's that's why I haven't set
Speaker 1: up now. I just I guess I kind of needed
Speaker 1: that the pep talk. Man. We're here for John. You
Speaker 1: just have to push, pushing towards the let's go out
Speaker 1: next to Zach and he usedly, what's going on? Jack?
Speaker 1: What's that? Guys? I got a question? Sure? I got
Speaker 1: um two spot I want? I don't know who to start?
Speaker 1: Um see, I got duck Ball one, Lasha McCoy, who
Speaker 1: else McCoy, Um, Randall, cop Uh Godwin and uh the
Speaker 1: Smith kid in the New Orleans Two people all right?
Speaker 1: Two people Doug Ball, Lashawn McCoy, Randall, cob Or Chris
Speaker 1: Dwin or Trey Kwan Smith? Two out of those? What
Speaker 1: format is this? Uh? Four point four point PPR so
Speaker 1: full point ppr. Oh Man, I wanted to use the
Speaker 1: saw McCoy right out of the gate because but he
Speaker 1: faces the and it's gonna be gonna move. That's just
Speaker 1: gonna be a brutal game. But last week he led
Speaker 1: the team in targets, led the team in reception, Heaterman.
Speaker 1: It was the only way, Peterman, So I assume you're
Speaker 1: not using McCoy, Greg the one guy with the one
Speaker 1: guy I'm using and I'm locking in first because Godwin,
Speaker 1: like Evans, is banged up. Rabbits Patrick is gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball a lot like who's Godwin a lot this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that's a good call. Um, Doug Baldwin. Again,
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to talk about the Seahawks wide receivers.
Speaker 1: They just kind of spread the ball out to everybody. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they're actually expecting more points than I than
Speaker 1: I would have thought in this game between the Chargers
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks, I would just Baldwin as of right now,
Speaker 1: I would I would lock in Baldwin and Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. Packers wide receiver snaps were kind of all
Speaker 1: over the place last week. McCoy bad match up against
Speaker 1: the Bears, Peterman starting and track Kuan Smith. You know,
Speaker 1: I understand the allure of trade Kwan Smith. He's young,
Speaker 1: he's filling in for the Tedgain rolls. Tedgain was a
Speaker 1: top thirty six wide receiver one year ago. But you
Speaker 1: look at the way that this Saints offense and team
Speaker 1: has been trending, defense, playing better, they're running the football more.
Speaker 1: I understand there's a huge game total in this one
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Saints. I'm not on trade
Speaker 1: Kwan Smith the way that everybody else's. He's had one
Speaker 1: phenomenal game. There's no doubt about that. It was against
Speaker 1: Washington on Monday Night football, so the whole world got
Speaker 1: to see it. But I'm not in on track Kwan
Speaker 1: Smith the way that everybody else is a agreed dude.
Speaker 1: I'm not like Jim Sons love this track k Smith
Speaker 1: this week. I don't get it. I really don't because
Speaker 1: people people still think that Drew Brees is going to
Speaker 1: be the Drew Brees from earlier on in the season.
Speaker 1: They've already gone back to when we were questioning whether
Speaker 1: we should start Josh McCown or were Breeze last year.
Speaker 1: The answer is Josh McCown, and then you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to see that. We're back there. But the
Speaker 1: past three games hasn't thrown the ball more than thirty
Speaker 1: times in each one of these games. They're back to
Speaker 1: playing good defense and running the football. I like the
Speaker 1: under in this contest, Greig sixty points between the Saints
Speaker 1: and the Ramp. I told you this yesterday. You said,
Speaker 1: you say, don't do that. I think we see a
Speaker 1: lot of I think we see a lot of running
Speaker 1: on both sides of Football League. With that, we're gonna
Speaker 1: sign on YouTube for today. We're still gonna take your
Speaker 1: calls to the end of the show. That's cool with you.
Speaker 1: Do you have anything else you need to get out?
Speaker 1: All right, so take your calls through the rest of
Speaker 1: the program, but come up next on our YouTube stream
Speaker 1: is Corey Parson, Jim Day and Chris Ventra. They're the
Speaker 1: host of the Fantasy Football Frenzy for us. Is venture
Speaker 1: allowed to talk today? We'll find out you're listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast. Subscribe, give us five stars, lead a comment,
Speaker 1: were strongly appreciate it, and for next week, for tomorrow
Speaker 1: will be of course live back here at this time
Speaker 1: on the Pursuit Networks. That would be exciting. I will
Speaker 1: go live here for the next five minutes or so.
Speaker 1: We continue on the phone lines franking eight four four
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine, and we go to
Speaker 1: Tom the Long Island. What's up Tom? Hey, guys, how's
Speaker 1: it going? What's going on? Man? All right? Yep, here's
Speaker 1: a question. Um, it's a half point PPR. Should I
Speaker 1: drop I just heard you guys talking about this. Should
Speaker 1: I drop Taylor Gabriel and pick up Anthony Miller or
Speaker 1: m VS for this week? Going forward? My other three
Speaker 1: wide receivers A poop up key y and Juju. But
Speaker 1: going forward, I was I was did not thrown it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's that's actually good. I think in his scenario
Speaker 1: with those three wide receivers, you're trying to set up
Speaker 1: a long term You're you're not worried about this week
Speaker 1: because you start those three guys this you Stron Hilton,
Speaker 1: he's gonna buy Um. You're starting Jujue, You're starting cup
Speaker 1: Um this week. So for the last spot, you got mvs.
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel, Anthony Miller number one. Would you drop Gabriel
Speaker 1: for Miller? Would you drop Gabriel for mvs? Would you
Speaker 1: just have Gabriel? What would you do? Yes? So Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel's production and his usage has gone down since Anthony
Speaker 1: has returned. I mean, it's back to back games for
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller with at least seven targets. Again, they're using
Speaker 1: him more so out of the slot and continue to
Speaker 1: hammer this home this year as well. This is the
Speaker 1: year of the slot receiver. They liked Anthony Miller a
Speaker 1: lot coming into the season and it's been a direct
Speaker 1: correlation with him returning and Taylor Gabriel's production going down.
Speaker 1: And also once Alan Robinson returns as well, it's just
Speaker 1: another amounts of feed in this offense. I actually do
Speaker 1: like Anthony Miller Moore moving forward the Packers wide receivers,
Speaker 1: while MVS did play the second most amount of snaps
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position for them. I mean, it
Speaker 1: could kind of just be a hoth hand approach. Could
Speaker 1: be one week Torono Allison, one week Randall Cob We
Speaker 1: like MVS, you know, I would. I would choose Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller of this group. Greig, I think I really would too.
Speaker 1: Am I just buying too much into the past two weeks?
Speaker 1: So I just I like the fact that he's being
Speaker 1: used in the slot. He's had a safe floor targets
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. The Matt Naggie offense has been
Speaker 1: a fun one. I don't expect much scoring in this
Speaker 1: game against the Bills, but again we're talking about the
Speaker 1: long term. I think Anthony Millers kind of said to
Speaker 1: have a nice second half here four four eight four
Speaker 1: three season. I agree with especially in the slot. I
Speaker 1: agree with you, and that's why I like him as well.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to California or back to California. Let's
Speaker 1: talk at Johnny. What's up Johnny? Gregory are you guys
Speaker 1: doing don Actually got two questions where you go lower
Speaker 1: the lower us a little bit? Oh, I got two questions.
Speaker 1: All right, I have a running back situation I need
Speaker 1: to see. I got Nick Chubb, carry on Johnson, Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake and Chris Carson. I need to start to all right,
Speaker 1: it's a good crewe. That's a standard standard. Non people
Speaker 1: are very interesting. All right. I have my two franks.
Speaker 1: Those are the rankings that I have done. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's do the same time. It is Nick Chubb and
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. I agree with you. That's exactly where I'm
Speaker 1: going with. Those are the two. It's a good matchup
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. I know, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: see a wait and see approach with Baker Mayfield because
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna throw the ball much.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try and keep Patrick Mahomes off
Speaker 1: the field, and to do that, they're gonna run the
Speaker 1: football a lot. They I think they take a conservative
Speaker 1: approach in this game. They feed Nick Chubb. It's a
Speaker 1: good matchup against the Chiefs. Chris Carson. You look at
Speaker 1: his usage, the way that the Seahawks offensive line is
Speaker 1: playing right now, I'm gonna use him, but I will
Speaker 1: say all four of those guys are ranked between twelve
Speaker 1: and twenty for me, so it is very close. Oh cool.
Speaker 1: And then my other situation was either start fitz Magic
Speaker 1: or I start Trabisky fits Magic or true Whisky fits
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is a top ten quarterback for me. This week,
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense has played well, only a thirty seven
Speaker 1: point total in that game. I'm gonna use fitz Matic alright,
Speaker 1: fits Magic because he's the gun slinger. I like tis,
Speaker 1: like the barriers those deeved There's nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 1: As a Patriots will tell you, Tom Brady, you get
Speaker 1: nothing in that game. For Frank Staffle, I'm Greg Saucemon.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Footle Friendsie comes your way next. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for watching the Fantasy best Friends Forever. We'll do
Speaker 1: it all go tomorrow, we hope
