14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: six and five and I lost in three leagues by

15
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: less than five points, by less than It's funny. It's

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: remarkable how slim the margins are on some of they.

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: I lost four leagues by a combined eight tenths of

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: a point. It was a horrible week. I'd rather lose

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: by a hundred than by less than five, No questions.

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: The heartbreakers you always read, though, I bet you can

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: think back a couple of years to one of those losses.

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: In one of those weeks, I may have lost you.

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Let's get to the highlights. We start in DAYA where

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: the Lions hosted the Giants. Here in my French there,

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Giants and Lions. Yeah, it turns out fantasy kind of

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: that first face you saw their Megan Tron. How about

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford? Here, pressure comes rolling right. I can't believe

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: I just said you just I didn't believe I did that.

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: There is you probably want, Yeah, I did not. I

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: got Megan Tron in one of my leagues. By the way, hey,

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: sixty seven yard touched on all the way. That will

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: do it. Here again, Matt Stafford, Calvin Johnson sixteen yards, touchdown,

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: a beautiful Graftsgatron four receptions, nine yards, two touchdowns in

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Yeah, you know it was gonna be

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: a long night. That is why they call him Megatron.

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Twenty eight point four points, the most among all wide

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: receivers in week one. All right, let's go to the

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: second quarter. Giants driving third and goal, ver shot Jennings

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: trying to punch it in stuffed I like that Jennings

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: is the goal line back. Yeah, certainly, next play they

41
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth down. Eli Manny fines Larry done.

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Now yep, that helps no one, right, and uh it

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: is his first NFL TV by the way, Lions, Uh,

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Giants up fourteen seven. We're moving forward here. Three plays

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: into the second half, again looking for Donald, but it

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: was Levy that comes up with the interception and late

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: in the third Giants not having the ball instead. It's

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: the Lions and that's a big number in the Stafford Yeah,

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: calls his own number, runs it in for a five

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Lines up twenty seven seven, heading into the

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: fourth first drive of the four second and all here

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: you go, Rashan Jenny right spot for fantasy owners, Rashad

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Jennings in New York, and he would end the night

54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: with a little over fifteen points. Garbage time. How about

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Joike Bell getting his number called the three yard touchdown

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: run and the Lions and impressive victory and five to

57
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: fourteen Joyce Bell with the only touchdown for a Lion

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: running back. A lot of passing yards out there, as

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you can see, Matthew Stafford's thirty points, Calvin Johnson with

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Like you said, Rashad Jennings really the only

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: thing to speak of, And we'll get to that in

62
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: a moment for the Giants, but let's get started with

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. In the four leagues I play, and he

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: was a top five quarterback draft that you had to

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: pick him up probably by the fifth round or you

66
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: weren't gonna get him. And I don't know how much

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: we talk about the Giants defense and how bad it looked,

68
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: or how much we talk about this Stafford to Megatron

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: connection and Stafford in Detroit. I mean, he is a

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: guy you have to start weekend in a week out

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: when he's at home. I'd like to see him a

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: little more consistent on the road. But when you've got

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Calvin Johnson, you've got an offense, let's conduce,

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: you see, for quarterbacks to score fantasy points. It was

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: a no brainer. The Matthew Stafford was one of the

76
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: top five players drafted to his position. Yeah, and it's

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: understandable what his number one target was, especially in the

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: red zone. It's Megatron. And look he drafted him. I

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: don't know, top ten, maybe top five, maybe top three.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: There's a reason why, and that's why point four points.

81
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Let's get to Golden tap though he did have a

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: number of receptions he had well, first we'll talk a

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: little Calvin Johnson here, Like I said, a hundred and

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: sixty four yards and two touchdowns. So again, twenty eight

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: point four points. Ye, and again Calvin Johnson was the

86
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: only wide receiver drafted in the first round. That's why, Yeah,

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: no question. And look, when you have someone that that's

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: that productive, it ends up balancing out the field. And

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: that's where Golden take comes into this conversation. Here you

90
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: see at six receptions for ninety three yards, did not

91
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: get into the end zone, but clearly looks like a

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: big part of this offense and underrated player too. He

93
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: led the Seahawks and receiving last year in a run

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: based offense. I predicted in the preseason that this would

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: be takes first thousand yards season at the NFL level.

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Receiving yards in game one pretty good. I think he's

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: going to be a very valuable asset for fantasy owners

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: as a three as a flex in PPR leagues. Gold

99
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Tate's gonna do some damage. Yeah, and look what we're

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: watching here. I mean that this is the second consecutive

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: third down throw. They're looking for him on third downs,

102
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: which tells you his quarterback trust him. That's where he's

103
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: looking when he has to move the sticks, and Golden

104
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: taken to be a big part of that offense moving forward. Now,

105
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: let's go to the other side of the ball, the

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Loan bright spot for the Giants from a fantasy perspective,

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: rasha Jennings. He did finish with forty six yards and

108
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: that touchdown was stuffed on on this first attempt to

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: try to get in from the one yard line. Four

110
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: catches for fifty yards. That's a nice number for running back,

111
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: fifteen and very nice. He's showing us what we saw

112
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: at the end of last season when he was with

113
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, a very versatile running back. And here's

114
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: another step money. I like the fact that he saw

115
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the majority of the touches. Andre Williams had five carries.

116
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: That was it. This is Rashad Jennings backfield in New

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: York and he is a Tom coughlan kind of player.

118
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: He can catch it, he can run it, he passed

119
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: protects well, and he's seeing goal line work. And that

120
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: was the one thing we were about it didn't happen

121
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: last night. So Rashana Jennings, is this guy you're starting

122
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: every week moving forward? Yeah, the offensive line looks terrible.

123
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: They had a tough time protecting Eli Manning and Eli

124
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: Manning continue to make mistakes throwing the ball, and that

125
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: means even though Victor Cruz I believe is the number

126
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: one receiver, is is Eli Manning's favorite target? Just doesn't matter?

127
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: And this was a great matchup on paper. You know

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: what money is the Eli Manning just regrets to the

129
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: point where he's making this offense worse. I mean, he

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: looked horrible, He looked bad last year. He's throwing two interceptions,

131
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: He's making bad decisions. Victor Cruz isn't in the game

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: at all, and he's by far their best wide receiver.

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: So I have major concerns with the Giants pass attack

134
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: right now. They're playing the Cardinals next week. If Patrick

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Peterson's on Victor Cruz, you know what, forget it, Let's

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: go the Gbabs. They're playing the Cardinals. We saw what

137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson and that Cardinals defense was able to do

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: to Philip Rivers and the Chargers. What Giants will you

139
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: start next Well, Jennings is the guy. There's no question

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: about that. Cruiz is probably a three still because I

141
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna move Peterson inside of the

142
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: slot to cover Victor Cruz. In that case that's a

143
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: little bit an advantage, but he has not been good

144
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: composition Cruise at this risktil yeah, until we see something

145
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: more from Eli Manning. All right, we'll speaking of those

146
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals will get the Giants next week. Let's get to

147
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: our nightcap Monday night. Philip Rivers coming off a big

148
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: fantasy season. So it was Carson Palmer, four thousand yards

149
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: with three different teams. There we go Palmer Cardinals first,

150
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: and tent Andre Ellington with that surprise star we thought

151
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: he might be out for There was time questions mark

152
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: about his foot. He looked pretty good for the guy

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: with a bad foot and on a Monday night are

154
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: very hard to guess. They think he wasn't gonna get

155
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: that start. Here we go Carson Palmer and Michael Floyd.

156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: He would call his number often, twenty nine yard game

157
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: that led to a field goal. Cardinals go up three

158
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: nothing right now, seven minutes remaining in the second and

159
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Tacho. There we go I'm glad you had to

160
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: say that gets a hand on. It leads to a

161
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Chargers field goal. All tied up at three. I can

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: tell you was a Georgia Tech yellow jacket, but very

163
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: hard to say. Here we go Chargers our first possession

164
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: in the second Malcolm Floyd big thirty two yard pick up.

165
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Floyd is not done. Three plays later on first and goal.

166
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 1: There it is pay dirt, six yard touchdown. Malcolm Floyd

167
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: ends the night with fifty yards receiving and a touchdown.

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: Eleven points. That's what that gets you. After a fumble recovery,

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Chargers driving third and one, and here's Ryan Matthews. Fannas

170
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: owners have to love seeing this because it was a

171
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: bad matchup and he still put up double digit Fantasy points. Yeah.

172
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Clearly the lead back gets hugs from Donald Brown. So

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: Donald Brown the three man in that running back rotation

174
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: number one. When it comes to the hugs, Ryan Matthews

175
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: twelve points for the effort. The Cardinals still they would

176
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: not go away. Two minutes left in the game. Here

177
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: we go first and ten. Palmer, I know you like

178
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh State. No h in that Pittsburgh, by the way,

179
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Arizona goes up eighteen seventeen after another failed two point

180
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: fin version and one last try for the Bolts, Sandy

181
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: super Keenan Allen could not bring it in turnover on downs.

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: It's look, I'll still dance to the disco. I don't care.

183
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Eighteen to seventeen. The Cardinals gets the victory. So here

184
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: we go your point production. Carson Palmer leading the way

185
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: with his twenty one point. He had like the ugliest

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: good game I've ever seen in Fantasy. How many times

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: did he almost get intercepted, overthrow his receivers and he

188
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: still had twenty one Fantasy points? Good for him. Let's

189
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: start with that two point to zero of Larry Fitzgerald.

190
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Look at the starts six basically started in every league

191
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: out there, only targeted four times, was not even targeted

192
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: through the first three quarters of this game. Have the

193
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: single reception for twenty two yards, and um, well, let's

194
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: get to it. I mean, let's start with the Cardinals

195
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: and fits one reception twenty two yards. What are we

196
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: doing with Larry fitz when it looks like Malcolm Floyd

197
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: has taken that step now? Well, his father wasn't too happy,

198
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: and I took to social media about that maybe the

199
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel gets the grease and we'll see more opportunities

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: for him. He's playing against the Giants next week. I

201
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: still say you play him. But he's bordering now on

202
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: at to three rather than a one too. And he

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: hasn't had a thousand yards in two straight years. He

204
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: did have ten touchdowns in two thousand and thirteen, which

205
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: helped his fantasy value. But this is sort of what

206
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: we expect now from Larry Fitzgerald without Kurt Warner. This

207
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: is a guy who is going to be inconsistent. Not

208
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd but fighting Irish, yes, Notre Dame Michael Floyd.

209
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: And he's emergence. Has the torch been passed? You think

210
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: in Arizona, we thought, you know, Carson was going to

211
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: be great for Larry fitz he finally had a quarterback

212
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: getting back to doing what he does. But you know,

213
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: and Floyd struggled in his rookie season but certainly has

214
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: broke out at the end of last year and looks

215
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: great out there. And defenses have to pay attention to

216
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. What's helps Michael Floyd? And he looked phenomenal.

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: One of the few Notre Dame wide receivers has actually

218
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: had a lot of success in the National Football League,

219
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: so I literally look like Floyd moving forward. All right,

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: let's go to the other side of the ball. You

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Ryan Matthews got the bulk of the carries

222
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, not Donald Brown, not Danny Woodhead. Twelve

223
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: rushers though, compared to Woodhead six and again Donald Brown's two,

224
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: so certainly they wanted Mike McCoy wants to rotate those backs.

225
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: He did it last year and Matthew still got the

226
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: bulk of those carries and he's going to continue to

227
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: do that. Danny Woodhead didn't see barely any touches in

228
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: this contest, so if he started in the PPR League,

229
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: he didn't produce for you. Matthews don't remember, he's playing

230
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: for a contract. He's in the contract a year, so

231
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be motivated to put up some good numbers.

232
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: And heck, I mentioned it earlier. Against a really tough

233
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: defense on the road, Ryan Matthews gave you double digit

234
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy points and that is productive, and that is very impressive,

235
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: and I would say the most surprising development of the evening.

236
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people were excited about Ladarius Green emerging

237
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: as the tight end. Philip Rivers loves throwing to his

238
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: tight ends. Not the case, and Philip Rivers very much

239
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning. He trusts guys and if he doesn't

240
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: trust you, you're not gonna see a lot of targets.

241
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: And that seemed to be the case. He wanted to

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: feature Gates early and often. Yeah, Green didn't see much

243
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: of anything last night, but remember this the Cardinals worst

244
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: defense in the league last year against tight ends, they

245
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: gave up a ton of fantasy points tight ends and

246
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Gets did this last year. He started off really hot

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: and then down the stretch he disappeared. So this is

248
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: a great, great start for Gates, but that doesn't mean

249
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm playing him every week and Gates right, you think so?

250
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm starting anybody from San Diego

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and that match. It's for the Monday night games. Let's

252
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: get you caught up with all the news and notes

253
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: from around the league. If your money, I am NFL

254
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: dot Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grant, this man here is

255
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy Maverick Adam Rank and start to get you

256
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: caught up with all of the headlines. I lost the Aviators.

257
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: We got some communications. We will start in Carolina or

258
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told the media on Monday

259
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: he expects quarterback Cam Newton to start Week two against

260
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: the Lions. That's coming after Newton was elite scratched Sunday

261
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers due to a nagging rib injury. Kelvin

262
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin played well with Derek Anderson and quarterback, so Cam

263
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: should hopefully provide an even bigger boost for the rookie

264
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver. But clearly Newton is not one healthy so

265
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: ranks would owners be a little bit worried. Yeah, absolutely,

266
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some concern there because it takes away

267
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of his rushing and everything like that.

268
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: But if you have a contingency plan, because obviously you

269
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: had one last week, start looking at some of those options.

270
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I would start Kim Newton over say Philip Rivers, who

271
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: has a tough matchup. But when you get the bug

272
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer that you're gonna have some interesting choices to make. Yeah, definitely. So.

273
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Toby Gerhart is expected to have limited

274
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: participation in practice during the early part of the week.

275
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: Gerhart left Sunday's game against the Eagles with an ankle sprain,

276
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: but did return later in the contest. Finished today with

277
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: eight teen carries for forty two yards. That is not

278
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: particularly great. Gerhart's never had this kind of workload at

279
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: the professional level. Should we be concerned about his durability?

280
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: There is growing concern, I mean partly because Toby Gearhard

281
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: went to my rival high school and in my league.

282
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: When you draft Toby Garhard, you kind of get a

283
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: little bit of the you know, snickers and things like that.

284
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: So I've been wearing it this week. Toby Gearhart to me,

285
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit concerned. If I had no Sean Morain, no,

286
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: I would certainly start him over over Toby. But when

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: you look at guys like my Bradshaw, some of the

288
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: riskier guys that you're picking up on the waiver wire,

289
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I would still keep Toby in there. But he's starting

290
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: to slide down just a touch still, so tempting to

291
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: see a guy who's gonna get so many touches tempting.

292
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: The volume is there, definitely. Washington head coach Jay Gruden

293
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: told reporters Monday that tight end Jordan Read could be

294
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: sidelined for some time after suffering a mild hamstring sprains

295
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Texans. This comes after reading the seven

296
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: games last season with injuries. We know he's got a

297
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: ten of potential, a lot of upside, But right now, Rank,

298
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: how worried are you about this guy just being injury prone?

299
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm I never carry two tight ends. There just seems

300
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: to be no reason for it. So if you got

301
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Read, I'd feel comfortable dropping him, and you're gonna

302
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: have a choice between somebody like Dwayne Allen, maybe Travis Kelsey.

303
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: But when you look at situations like that, you look

304
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: at who their quarterback is. Dayne Allen's got Andy Luck.

305
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable at that. Travis Kelsey has got Alex Smith.

306
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Not as comfortable at that. So Dwayne Allen will be

307
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: my first priority on the waiver wire and go from that.

308
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: But Alex Smith only throws the ball five to seven yards.

309
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: It checked, alright, I hear what you're saying. All right?

00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,320

Speaker 1: us know help you off the most to help win

329
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: Week one rank I. I know you and the rest

330
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: of the fantasy world liked what you saw from Matt

331
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Ryan absolutely. Matt Ryan was one of the top rated

332
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in NFL dot Com going into the week, and

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: he lived up to those expectations going up against the Saints,

334
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys. If you're one of

335
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: those players, and I'm gonna look at you, Michael Fabiano,

336
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: who likes to wait on a quarterback. Matt Ryan looks

337
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: like he is gonna pay immediate dividends for you for

338
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: the entire season. He's got a full compliment of weapons.

339
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Julio Jones looks great and healthy, Roddy White healthy, Stephen

340
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: jack Okay, well maybe not Stephen Jackson, but he's got

341
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Roddy White. He's got Hulu Jones, and that's pretty good.

342
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be good. I like this guy going forward

343
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: to this season, and we're gonna be seeing a lot

344
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: of tweets about him over the course of the year.

345
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Even threw a touchdown to his new tight end, Lavine

346
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: Toy Lolo. It's pronounced toy. That helps no one. Toy

347
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: helps somebody next week. Recognize Matt's got a new tight

348
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: end in town, all right. Marcus No, Sean Moreno, No,

349
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: Sean Loreno was the guy that in the off season

350
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: we thought was going to get the bulk of the

351
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: carries from Miami. Then he had the knee surgery. We

352
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: were worried about what was gonna happen with him, and

353
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Week one comes and it's

354
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: just like we thought it was gonna be back in

355
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the spring. And he had a huge game against the

356
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: Patriots in Week one. Four carries, hundred thirty four yards

357
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and he looked like the No Sean

358
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: Moreno we saw last year in Denver. We worried about

359
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: what was going to happen when he didn't have Peyton

360
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Manning and his quarterback. Maybe it's just something that the

361
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: light has come on for No Sean Moreno. Add to

362
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: the fact that Lamar Miller struggled, he also fumbled. He

363
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: may be back on the bench and No Sean Moreno

364
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: could threaten to be a solid, certainly number two running back,

365
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: maybe to creep into the top tenness when you're in

366
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: a row. Perhaps the greatest value of player sticking with

367
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: the running backs here, fabs. What was the big dig

368
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: on DeMarco Murray. People were like, the Cowboys are gonna

369
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: be so bad, They're not gonna be able to run

370
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: the ball in the second half and he's not gonna

371
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: get touches twenty five touches against the Niners and guess

372
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: what they were behind in the game. He is the

373
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: best offensive player aside from Dez Bryant. In this offense.

374
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna score points because they're gonna give up a

375
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: lot of points. He has had one rushing touchdown and

376
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: four of his last six games he's in a contract year.

377
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: I like DeMarco Murray as a late first round pick,

378
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna have dividends all season long

379
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. There's a lot to like about the

380
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys in fantasy, just not in reality. Yeah, Tony Romo

381
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: did not look good at all, and that old line

382
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: was blowing holes open for de Marco Muray. Like you said,

383
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: huge advantage from the horse, all right. How about Andrew Lux, Well,

384
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, only receiving targets in that game against

385
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Marcus. Yeah, you know, Reggie Wayne. I know

386
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: from a fantasy in standard league, it wasn't necessarily a

387
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: huge day, just the ninety eight yards he didn't get

388
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: in the end zone. But from a PPR standpoint, he

389
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: had a huge day, eight teen point eight fantasy points,

390
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: and you're right, he was the guy that Andrew Luck

391
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: was looking for repeatedly, and everybody worried about coming back

392
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: from a knee injury and being a little bit older.

393
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: But Reggie Wayne has still got it. You know, we

394
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: saw hockey Knicks maybe get a little bit of action

395
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: and t Hy Hilton didn't get much. It was all

396
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: about Reggie Wayne on Sunday, sure was and the name

397
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: that nobody knew prior to week unless you're a fan

398
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: of that you because you don't care about nobody, but

399
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: that you Alan Herns and what was the fine folks down?

400
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I love Alan Hearns. He was a standout in the

401
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: preseason and he was one of the danger Zone picks

402
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: of the week going into this game because this team

403
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: featured two rookie receivers, Mark Easley Alan Herns. But Parns

404
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: had showed during the preseason that he had earned the job.

405
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: He's already done a better job than Cecil Shorts and

406
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: even if Shwarts comes back, Hearns has got to be

407
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: the guy. He's the guy that Chad Henny continues to

408
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: look for. He does a lot of great things. He

409
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: stretches the defense, he catches the ball in traffic. This

410
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be the number one option. Okay, I

411
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: see a kicker. Kickers are people too money? Did you

412
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: know that Matt Bryant scored seventeen Fantasy points in a

413
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: week one. That's more than Drew Brees had. That's more

414
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: than Adrian Peterson and Jamal Charles scored combines. And no,

415
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: that is not an error. Matt Bryant was a fantasy

416
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: superstar and this guy's is why you can't overlook the

417
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: kicker position and fantasy. But where was Matt the preseason kick?

418
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: Remember what Matt Bryant did two years ago? Receiver? How

419
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: do you know when to draft Met Brian? I'm guessing

420
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: on all of our preseason ranking was like, I don't know,

421
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty range, right, it was, well, now he's

422
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: somewhere you're gonna probably pick up off the way. That's

423
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: another By the way, Brian's team one White agrees with you.

424
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: He was pretty happy about his teammate's performance, tweeting this

425
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: out after the game. Btw, that means, by the way,

426
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Matt Brian is there. I think that's a bloke. He's

427
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: a wide body, He's got a lot of power in

428
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: that lower half. You saw it strong trunk. I met

429
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: Brian alright. His game Changers presented by Bows. All Right,

00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the books and perhaps when you hit the waiver wire

462
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: following week one it's one of the most important moments

463
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: in a fantasy season. This is where players like Julius

464
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: Thomas get picked up and got picked up last year

465
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and just crushed it for his owners. Now Here is

466
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: a look at the top ten players currently being added

467
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. No surprise, when you get a

468
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: breakout running back, they get an awful lot of ads,

469
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: and justin for Set looks like he may be the

470
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: starter in Baltimore. Hence the two d and thirty thousand

471
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: plus adds. So let's talk about some waiver wire targets

472
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: fabs once you get it started with Jacksonville and I

473
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: don't know Chad Henny's favorite target. Alan Hearn's unbelievable performance

474
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: in week one sort of came out of nowhere when

475
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: we saw that CESAR Sports was inactive. Karns was one

476
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: of these guys that we all said, let's pay attention

477
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: to him, and boy, his first two receptions long touchdown catches.

478
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna go out and grab him with

479
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: the thought to start him right away in a week two.

480
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: I want to see if he's more a Kuton Bolden

481
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: or more Frisman Jackson. So certainly worth picking up off

482
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: the waiver wire starting him, though maybe you'm a deeper league,

483
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: but I want to see more. Yeah, seemed like people

484
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: picked up Marquis Lee going back to kind of the

485
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: Justin Blackman's cecil short situation shorts emerged, and same sort

486
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: of thing here with Hearns. How about Calvin Benjamin here

487
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: number those idyllic times back when we didn't know who

488
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be catching passes from the Panthers quarterback. I

489
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: should not say Cam Newton because Derrick Anderson went out

490
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: there and made a start at Kelvin Benjamin, which we

491
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: expected coming into the season. And if he's still available

492
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire, at least check out see if

493
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: he slipped through the draft. I know I got him

494
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: very late in my league of records, so there's a

495
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: chance that he could have slipped through it. If he did,

496
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: that should be the guy that you're gonna pick up

497
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: because he is going to be the best guy in

498
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Carolina to have the number one target. And now that

499
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is back, he is for sure gonna keep

500
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: continue to put a huge points. Yeah, and that play

501
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: right there, just being able to be that physical and

502
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: that big. And we saw Marcus with the top AD

503
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: over two thirty thousand ads. Justin foresaid did the work

504
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: again the Cincinnati for Baltimore. Yeah, we thought it was

505
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna be Bernard Pierce who got all this work. He

506
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: fumbles early. John Harbaugh puts him on the bench. We

507
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: don't see much of Bernard Pierce the rest of the day.

508
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: For sett came in, played very well against a good

509
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Bengals running defense, and it looks like he may be

510
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: the guy who starts for the Ravens going forward from here,

511
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: I guy that nobody talks about. Before the season, we

512
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: talked about Pierce. Maybe Lorenzo talian Faro could be the

513
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: justin Forcetton becomes the guy for the Ravens and good

514
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: old cal Backs man went in take a back out

515
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: of cow if abs. Greg Jennings seemed to be I

516
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: don't know, the only receiver out there catching passes from

517
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Matt Castle against the rank Cardarol Patterson was great as

518
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: a runner, but not so much as a pass catcher.

519
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: And Greg Jennings. He's got a good report Matt Castle.

520
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: Over his last six games dating back to last season,

521
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: he's averaged eight targets, six catches, seventy yards and he

522
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: scored three touchdowns. He's not gonna be the wide receiver

523
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: he was during his time in Green Bay, but he's

524
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: certainly rosterable in all leagues right now. Yeah, that's like Vets,

525
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: Castle and Jennings's. They look out for one another. James Starks,

526
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: Adam rank at him, especially if you have Eddie Lacy

527
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: and you've been sitting here for a couple of days

528
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: after the Thursday Night to bacle for the Packers, looking

529
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: at that roster, realizing you need to handcuff Edi Lacy

530
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Charles because he's gonna be the guy who

531
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: gets to touch. It's just in case something happens. And

532
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: if you have a player on your bench like m

533
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: J d maybe one of the lower end running backs,

534
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: go ahead and drop him. Make sure you have starts

535
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: because he would become a number one running back if

536
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: something would happen. Ednie like some more safety play. It's

537
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: a safety play, You're not start pace. Lacey's injury could

538
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: be an issue moving forward, all right to the tight

539
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: end position, the always tough to predict tight end position.

540
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: And Dwayne Allen, who certainly was the number one tight

541
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: end target for Andrew Luck and you was the number

542
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: one tight end target for Andrew Luck a couple of

543
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: seasons ago. Last year obviously missed the bulk of the

544
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: year with an injury, but came back this year and

545
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: he was the guy in the preseason that I thought

546
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: was going to step up and be that guy for

547
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: look in the middle of the field. Don't worry about

548
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner. In fact, he's probably a guy you maybe

549
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: you sin to the waiver wire in favor of Dwayne Allen.

550
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of targets to go

551
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: around there in Indianapolis, but Dwyne Allen is gonna be

552
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: the guy that Andrew Luke looks for from the tight

553
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: end position. All right, time to see if you were

554
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: all paying attention of all the names we just went through,

555
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: the one that you would pick up out of all

556
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: of the names we just mentioned, Marcus, I would probably

557
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: go with Benjamin. Benjamin running back is so hard to

558
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: find on the waiter wire, so I would go justin

559
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: for Stamp. All right, Well, there you go, Calvin Benjamin

560
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: Justin for said I'd break the tie. But all I

561
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: would do is perhaps make it a time. All right,

562
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: when NFL Fantasy and I've returns. You can't win a

563
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: championship after just one week, but you can certainly when

564
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: our Fantasy Love and Admiration, we reveal our list of

565
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: players who wowed us in Week one. Right after this,

568
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: your fantasy questions. I should say, at NFL Fantasy and Uh,

569
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: in case you missed it earlier, we had some football

570
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: Monday night a doubleheader, So let's get started with the

571
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: early tilt. Giants and Lions. Calvin Johnson Rashaw Jennings in

572
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: his new digs. As a matter of fact, first quarter,

573
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: just five plays in the game. Matthew Stafford rolling to

574
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: his right to avoids the sack. D You know what

575
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: happens when plays break down in Detroit? That guy and

576
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Kelvin Johnson him. You should stand next to him so

577
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: he don't cover him. He won't if they're gonna keep buddy.

578
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson with a big night, will get to that

579
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: in a moment, gets into the end zone. Who ends

580
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: the night with just about sixteen fantasy points? Lions late

581
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: garbage time, Oh joy Joke Bell touchdown, garbage is going

582
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: to get and uh some good fantasy nuggets there. Matthew

583
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Stafford with a monster thirty points. You see Calvin Johnson

584
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: as well, that's why you drafted him top five perhaps

585
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: golden tape though, nice balance out number two receiver. They're

586
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: just about ten points and the Reggie Bush Joy Bell

587
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: because of the garbage time touchdown, the debate can garbage

588
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: time point, but I'm just saying the debate still rages

589
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: on of those two backs, which one you're more comfortable

590
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: started the iron. Let's see you've got that tight end

591
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: there and you got Manning. Yeah, we talked about it

592
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, just something earlier FABS just I don't

593
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: know what giants you started moving forward. So let's let's

594
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: move on to the next Monday night football contest, the

595
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: one in Arizona, the late night er, Philip Rivers Carson Falmer.

596
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: Here you go, Chargers first possession of the second half,

597
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: first in gold. Rivers hooks up with Malcolm Floyd for

598
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: the six yard test pass, charges up ten six, and

599
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd ends the night with fifty yards and eight

600
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: touchdown after a fumble recovery. Here's what you were looking for.

601
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthew loves them degree, So yeah, it's golden flash.

602
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews Professional State Bulldogs with a big green v

603
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: Chargers up seventeen six. Matthews with twelve Fantasy points on

604
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: the night. Cards would not go away, though. And how

605
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: about Carson Palmer. We talked an awful lot about you

606
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Uh, well, you just said you told us, right,

607
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: So I don't say I'm not gonna say I told you.

608
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: You just held us. Tell us Arizona eighteen seventeen charges

609
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: one last try till the line of scrimmage and Alan

610
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: got to catch them. Yeah, tough tough play there for Rivers.

611
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: For Allen Lott of drops on the night. By the

612
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: way you see Rivers numbers two thirty eight touchdown in

613
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: an interception. Probably could have had a whole lot more

614
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: if Eddie Royal would run a route and catch up

615
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: ball from time to time. Not that I started Rivers

616
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: or anything. Carson Palmer with a big night. One points there.

617
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd with twelve no touchdown, but a whole lot

618
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: of yards out there. We mentioned the touchdown pass to

619
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd from Philip Rivers. So we're now through week

620
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: one after the two Monday nighters. Let's talk about who

621
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: has impressed us the most so far. FABS geta started.

622
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: How can you forget about Matt Ryan's performance, right? I

623
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: mean that was probably the best performance from a fantasy

624
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: respective in Week one. The guy came out and played

625
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: extremely well against New Orleans Saints, putting up huge numbers

626
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: four hundred forty eight passing yards and was just phenomenal.

627
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: He looked like he was on que with his wide receivers,

628
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Roddy, even his tight end whose name I

629
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: camp pronounced. What is it again? Money? Thank you? Scored

630
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown and Devin Hester gotten in the mix as well.

631
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: So this offense has got a lot of weapons. I'm

632
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: very interested to see if Ryan can do something similar

633
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: on the road against Cincinnati in Week two. One game

634
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: in at Lanta, I think Kester had more yards than

635
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: he ever had at the Bears, but they have four

636
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: guys over ninety yards receiving something like that wacky statistic.

637
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: How about it, Marcus, I'm going with Cordaro Patterson. I

638
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: know he didn't do a lot from a receiving standpoint.

639
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: You see just at three catches for twenty six yards,

640
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: but man, that run right there sealed the day for

641
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Cornaro Patterson and his fantasy owner. And more than anything,

642
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: what I like was that the Vikings are showing a

643
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: willing miss and really just an effort to get him

644
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: the football. And I think that's what we expected from

645
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: this Vikings offense. That's what we saw on Sunday. He's

646
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: going to have some big games. He's not gonna have

647
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: a hundred yards rushing every game. I think we can

648
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: all agree on that, but I like the fact that

649
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: the all right, I'm fine, you don't agree, was going

650
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: to put the ball in that man's I'm gonna go

651
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas. Clearly you catch three suchdowns as a tight end.

652
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: We've we've had the debate after Jimmy Graham, which direction

653
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: do you go? Julius is certainly at the top of

654
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: that list, But more impressive it was just the targets

655
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: when you get in the red zone. We saw Eric

656
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Decker getting a lot of those targets from Peyton Manning.

657
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: That's where he made a lot of his bones in

658
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: the world of fantasy. It was clear that Julius Thomas

659
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: was his go to guy. Terrible coverage there, certainly by

660
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: the Colts health but remember how young he is, how

661
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: young in the game Julius Thomas is, He's only getting better.

662
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: And after that game, again, I like paying attention to

663
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: these sort of things, Peyton Manning saying it's just such

664
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: a big jump from last season. I was really impressed

665
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. For whatever reason, fantasy enthusiasts like to

666
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: pretend that he is not a viable fantasy option, and

667
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: yet he was at top ten quarterback last year, and

668
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: when you went to your drafts this year, it wasn't

669
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: like you went in thinking I've got to get Russell

670
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: Wilson on my team. He probably drafted him as a

671
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: quarterback too, probably left him on the bench this week

672
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: because he went up against the Packers and there he

673
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: was putting up close to twenty fantasy points. He's one

674
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: of those guys who's gonna be very consistent weekend week out.

675
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: He's also one of the smartest quarterbacks. He is when

676
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: to run, when not to run. Great player. How can

677
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: you not be impressed with Antonio Brown. This kid came

678
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: out and put up huge, huge numbers against Joe Hayden. Okay,

679
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: and that doesn't happen. He's basically the guy who you

680
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: start even if he's facing Joe Hayden, because he puts

681
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: some huge numbers against him, and he even gave us

682
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: the Karate kid swan kick thing going on on the parpencer.

683
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown wasn't only productive, but he was entertained as well.

684
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I have to I think in our our Week one rankings,

685
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: I had him like fifteen or seventeen. For that reason,

686
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not going up against Joe Hayden

687
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: and Antonio I'm gonna stick with this game. And I

688
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: wasn't sure how they were going to use Levian Bell,

689
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was obviously the situation with with le

690
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt and whether or not they would be punished

691
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: for that at all, not saying they should have or

692
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: the way Mike Tomlin handled that, but look at this

693
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven touches. He is the focal point of that offense.

694
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: I love Michigan State running backs. They tend to run

695
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: harder than any other running backs out there. And I

696
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 1: was nervous about maybe him being dinged up so much

697
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: work at State and then last year, but man, he

698
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: looked like look at that fresh legs, explosive rings and

699
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: tackles all over the place. And that certainly was the

700
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: well that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers went back to

701
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Todd Hailey time and time again. And man, you drafted

702
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: him late in the first you're gonna get yourself a

703
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: heck of a value of he was falling into the third.

704
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: It was it was oppressive to to get a view

705
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: of that game, just Antonio Brown against a very good

706
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Bronze defense too. All right, coming up time to ring

714
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the NFL. Gentleman, we

715
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: have sixteen games now in the books. Let's talk about

716
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: whose stock is going up and whose stock is depressed.

717
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: We'll start with the risers fabs. What do you got? Well,

718
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: you guys, remember my Bradshaw, right, was a really good

719
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: fantasy running back years ago with the Giants. Been banged

720
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: up the last couple of years, but now he's back

721
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: on the radar. You have to look at the way

722
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: that the touches were split up against Denver Broncos in

723
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: that Colt's backfield. Trent Richardson, who didn't look good again,

724
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: nine touches, Bradshaw eight touches, had a better yards per

725
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: carry average had five catches. I would not be shocked

726
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: if a mod Bradshaw, the old veteran, takes over as

727
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: more of a featured back than Trent Richardson does in

728
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: Indianapolis sooner than later. That's how bad t Riches band well.

729
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 1: And you know this goes beyond the box score two fads.

730
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: Anybody to watch that game, and a lot of people did.

731
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: You could just see it. He was bellusion in his

732
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: legs bared to what Trent Richardson was doing. It was

733
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: an absolute no brainer that he was. How about it

734
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: rank that game? Oh my goodness, great, great Caesar's goes.

735
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: When when a King Nicks got so close to the

736
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: end zone and didn't get it, I was dying. I'm like, please,

737
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: let's have the touchdown strike and let game Knicks get

738
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: in there. So I like him this. I think his

739
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: stock is going way up. I'm not quite ready to

740
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: pick him up yet just yet, but I do like it.

741
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: He's in a great offense, he's got a great quarterback

742
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: throwing to him, and figure he can come in and

743
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of carve out a roll. So if you've got

744
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: a roster right now and you're holding somebody like let's

745
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: say Brian heart Light, I would rather have a keen

746
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: Knicks over somebody like Bryan heart Light. Although if I'm

747
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: going to the waiver wires, Alan Hearns would be number one,

748
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: John Brown would be number two, and then I would

749
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: look at hit Key Knicks. There sneaky little plate just

750
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: because the quarterback in the offense is so great. Yeah,

751
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing also they came out

752
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: of there is Reggie Wayne is clearly Andrew Lark's favorite

753
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: target and time again. But that then, especially in the

754
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: red zone, leaves opportunities for a tall drink of water

755
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: like a Keen Knicks to get you that touchdown and

756
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: get you mentioned him, You mentioned Brian Hartline. You want

757
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: to drop him, that's fine. Who you ought to be

758
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: thinking about picking up if he's out there, or maybe

759
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: if it was drafted late and he's not on a

760
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: starting roster for one of your fellow Fantasy football league mates,

761
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace clearly was the guy speaking of

762
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne and Andrew the guy that Ryan Tannehill was

763
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: looking for time and time again. This was a tight game,

764
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: a division game, and when the Chips were down, Mike

765
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: Wallace was the man that came up with the big reception.

766
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: You want to talk targets. He got him eleven plus

767
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: not just yesterday but in three straight games now. And

768
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: because he can take the top off the defense, those

769
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: are the receivers that I want to own. Someone that

770
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: can get you that seventy yards and one strike. Maybe

771
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: not as big of a red zone threat as you

772
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: would like, but you know what, he's putting up touchdowns.

773
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Wallace has a receiving touchdown in five

774
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: of his last seven games. I like guys that are

775
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: number one's, you know, a favorite target of a quarterback.

776
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: So if asked what direction I'm gonna go, I want

777
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: to number one receiver. And even though Mike Wallace isn't

778
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: a sexy, he's a number one receiver in Miami certainly.

779
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: I think. I think the other the year with Ryan

780
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Tannehill too, helps them get together a little bit better.

781
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: I think the bigger things are on away from me

782
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: Wallace this year. How about defense there I'm going with.

783
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to Texas defense. And I know a lot

784
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: of people were frightened of them last year just because

785
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: they were terrible last year. They were last among fantasy defenses.

786
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: I understand that, and I understand to Davian Clowney is

787
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna be out for the next four to six weeks,

788
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: but you know what, still got J J. Watt. And

789
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: on top of that, they have great matchups for a

790
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy owners who likes to stream defense. Is

791
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: the next few weeks for the Houston Texans feature the

792
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, the Buffalo Bills, the New York Giants. There

793
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of good matchups in the offering for

794
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: this Texans defense. I think they're gonna be better this

795
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: year anyway. But if you're if you're worried about matchup,

796
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: then this is the next few weeks that you jump

797
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: on this Texans defense. All right, enough of the candy

798
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: corn rainbows. Let's get let's get some negativity going here.

799
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Fabs stock dot you wanted. How about RG three? He

800
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: doesn't get any worse than that. The stock is really

801
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: going down on Robert Griffin the third. Now I'm not

802
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: dropping you guys. You have to keep him on your roster,

803
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: but Roy he just did not look good and either

804
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: to the offensive line. The NFL is a team sport,

805
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: so if your offensive line doesn't protect you, you're gonna

806
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: be in big trouble. He was running for his life.

807
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: He was not making good decisions either. I liked RG

808
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: three coming into this season, but right now there's major

809
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: question marks. You can't start him right now. Well, and

810
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: I guess this goes back to and I remember in

811
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: our expeach ex Experts league, Smith, you you drafted him,

812
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: but you backed it up with Russell Wilson. If you

813
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: drafted quarterback like r G three, you've got to back

814
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: it up, no doubt about that. I'd pick up Jake

815
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: Locker this week and start him over r G three

816
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: all day long, all right, rank stock down. I gonna

817
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: say Jamal Charles, somebody were a little bit concerned about.

818
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: In the preseason. If you looked at the offensive line,

819
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't very good. And then that first week it

820
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: was very alarming that he didn't get a lot of

821
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: touches there. And I know Andy Reid came out and said,

822
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, remember this just a few years ago. We

823
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: were sitting here begging him to give the ball to

824
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Next thing, you know, Andy Reids fired. Lashawn

825
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: McCoy had a rebirth last season, and now start to

826
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: get a little bit of concern with Jamal Charles. You know,

827
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: there'll be an overcorrection. This week, he'll get the ball

828
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: forty times, but then you're starting to look week three,

829
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 1: four or five when he gets forgotten again. I'm telling

830
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: you this is gonna be a headache. Plus, that division

831
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: is a little bit tougher than I think people understand.

832
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: The Broncos have a good defense. The Chargers showed on

833
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Monday Night they got a pretty good defense too. So

834
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: this is a guy and concerned. Actually I'm dropping him

835
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: for Darren mcfend will. I'm I will shift come on here, right,

836
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: I will shift to the back to the wide receiver position.

837
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: My stock up Mike Wallace, my stockdown Tory Smith. And

838
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's more about what you hear

839
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: in the post game, what you see on the field,

840
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: as opposed to the stats. I thought Steve Smith was

841
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: gonna balance out Tory Smith and he was gonna have

842
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: a breakout season. Then you hear Joe Flacco say he's

843
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: got to get better at running routes. He's not just

844
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: a straight line guy. Well that's kind of all he

845
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: tried to do against the Bengals and he had just

846
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: three receptions. So concern that Joe Flacco is a little

847
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: more excited about Steve Smith specific coming off that Week

848
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: one performance than he is about Tory Smith. He was

849
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: a borderline wide receiver to flex starter anyway, I very

850
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: well may keep him on the week and this Thursday

851
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: night or against Pittsburgh, would you rather have Steve? I mean,

852
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: the way it looked in that game against Cincinnati, Flacco

853
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: was looking for Steve Smith all yeah. I mean, I

854
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: think Tory Smith had five So big concern for me,

855
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: especially on a Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

856
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about Tory Smith. Probably gonna be

857
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: on my bench. Marcus. Well, I'm going to the running

858
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: backs and I'm gonna go with Frank Gore. And I

859
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: know that, you know every year we say it all

860
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: the time. We keep putting Frank going out to pass,

861
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: and he keeps finding ways to produce. But man, I

862
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: saw a lot more of Carlos Hide on Sunday than

863
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna see, at least at this

864
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: point in the season. I know the Niners want to

865
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: try to keep going fresh, and look, when he gets

866
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, he can still be productive.

867
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: When you see the numbers of what he can do,

868
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: when he's getting carries. But the Niners are gonna want

869
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: to try and keep this guy ready for a playoff

870
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: run and into the postseason. That thing, you're gonna see

871
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot more of the rookie. I'll tell you what.

872
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide ran very hard when he got the football

873
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He can be a much bigger part of

874
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: the San Francisco offense than we ever anticipated through the preseason. Well,

875
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned, uh, I'm mentioning Tori Smith against the Steelers. Fads.

876
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: You said you're benching r G three. Are you benching

877
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: Frank Gore against the Bears, Marcus? Probably not, just because

878
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: the Bears run defense has been bad, but I would

879
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: temper my expectations. Maybe he's a flex guy. He has

880
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: a flex at this point. Coming up on NFL Fantasy Live,

881
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: we witnessed some wild Week one performances, but you can't

882
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: believe everything you see. We'll tell you whose big games

883
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: were the real d will and which ones were I

884
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Crahaps a fantasy mirage. Welcome back to NFL

885
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: Fantasy Line, presented by Bo's Matt Money Smith here with

886
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: well everyone, let's help our fantasy owners. That would be

887
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: you figure out if some of the great performances that

888
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: we saw in Week one was the real deal or

889
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: was it a fantasy narage. We will start with you.

890
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: Rank DeAndre Hopkins four receptions, eighty nine yards and a touchdown.

891
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: What do we make out of the second year receiver

892
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: out of Clemson? Real deal? Right? Real? We were talking

893
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the show about Larry Fitzgerald passing the torch

894
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: down to Michael Floyd. Well, the same thing is happening

895
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: down there in Houston where Drey Johnson. We'll be handing

896
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: it off to Dre Hopkins. He is the new business.

897
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 1: I like this guy. I disagree, how dare you just disagree?

898
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: And I delivered to you a standout performer from the SEC,

899
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 1: A man that delivered a national championship to Roll Tied

900
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Roll mark ingram I had this vision of him on

901
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: the sideline late in the fourth quarter saying to Sean Payton,

902
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: I am a thumper. You give me the ball. I

903
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: will score a touchdown on What did you do? He

904
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: trucked in Atlanta falcon safety and we are going to

905
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: see a whole lot more of that in the future.

906
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: When they get close. He's going to get the ball

907
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: at the goal line, and hey, Sean Payne, how about

908
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: running the clock out a little bit when you gotta

909
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: lead you smarketing him a little bit more. Those are hard,

910
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: tough yards and that's exactly what the Saints need. Well,

911
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: if you're talking about college guys, I'm going to you

912
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: dub husky Jake Locker, and he's the guy who, when

913
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: he is healthy, is very productive. He slings the ball around,

914
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of good young receivers. Plus he

915
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: can get out of the pocket and he can run

916
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: the football if you want him with too a little bit.

917
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: And I love him especially in week too because he's

918
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: playing the Dallas Cowboys. You gotta love Jake Locker this week.

919
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: He is a sneaky play. If you were in a

920
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: two QB league, especially in we two and FABS, I

921
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: know you like Locker an awful lot. But before we

922
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: get to your FABS rank, you want to take the

923
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: torch here on the Terence West started off, what are

924
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: we gonna do it more? Stout? Well, look, we we

925
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: got excited about Terence West because he looked great in

926
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: the preseason. He looked like he was the more explosive back,

927
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: the back that could break tackles, but could hit the

928
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: whole faster. Ben take got hurt and what did get

929
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: He comes in and he not only is he trough,

930
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: he's very elusive. To you saw a couple of little

931
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: wiggle right there is ackwar Like to said, well, where

932
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: are you going? Ran through that Steelers defense. He looks

933
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: like the best running back. It was only a matter

934
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: of time before he was going to take that job.

935
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: He has it now. And it's my conjecture that he

936
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: will not money, real not fabs. What do we got here?

937
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks And we've talked about him all pre season

938
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: as the rookie wide receiver to draft ahead of Sammy

939
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: Watkins and Kevin Benjamin. And boy did he look good.

940
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: He is fast, he is elusive, and he's a playmaker.

941
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 1: And when Drew Brees is your quarterback, that is gonna

942
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: do nothing but help your fantasy value. He is right

943
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: now a locked in, loaded number three fantasy receiver with upside.

944
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: And I don't typically talk well about rickie wide receivers.

945
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: He looked good. Yeah, certainly used him in a variety

946
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: of ways in the backfield, like you see here at

947
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: goal line work had the big pass over the middle,

948
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: so no question must have started. It's like exactly just

949
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: like Mike Riley was calling those plays. All right, that

950
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: is going to do it for us. Be sure to
