I beg to differ. Something like eleven hundred 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.680 players in the NFL got cut over the last weekend. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.040 It matters to them and their families, even if it 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.680 doesn't matter your fantasy football roster. I'll tell you what 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.639 may matter for fantasy. So we'll get you all caught 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.519 up on you know, everything from who got cut, who 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.040 got traded, who got signed, and who still has not 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.480 walked into the facility. We'll talk about that. I'll also listen. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.840 I've been giving you my diamonds and my fool gasse 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.880 the guys you need to forget about at every position, right, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.639 So we're gonna do that, but this time for defenses, 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.080 all right, We're gonna do that. Then what we're gonna 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.320 do is listen. There are some leagues you may have 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.280 drafted in like late July. You may have drafted in 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.120 early August. Okay, I'm in a couple of expert leagues, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.560 the Flex League for one, where I drafted it was 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.640 like the first weekend in August. There's some players that 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.320 are available in the player universe now that were not then. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.560 A lot of leagues are doing their initial waiver run 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.680 today tomorrow. I'm gonna give you a position by position 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.800 guys that you can target, and then, of course we 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.240 put the fun in functional sports content here on the 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.520 Fantasy freesty Out, We're gonna get down with the stats 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.720 over beat Cipher. We're gonna check in with my man 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.200 Danny Otto and his vacation, all that good stuff. Big 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.640 shout out as always my people that are always right there. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.920 I'm talking about Strong Style Ninja Yo. Fred Martinez, Yo. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.160 We need to do some twenty three and me pot 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.720 to see if we're in the same tree. D Gold, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.799 what is up? Deep Blue? To l A, what is up? 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:30.440 Renee figured Aw, what is up? Uh? Ernest Delva, That's 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.359 what it is, all right. People are talking about Levan Bell. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.720 We are going to talk about Levan Bell. Remember I 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.560 mentioned some people who have yet to walk into the facility. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.800 Lev Bell is definitely one of them. I'll talk about 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.360 the way I would play lev Bell, But we have 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:50.760 a poll question up as well, and it's around Bell. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.640 What is your level of concern right now? Okay, the 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.720 last year he walked in on Labor Day, people said 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.640 on social media he was gonna walk in on Labor Day. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.280 This year he was like nah, ag news, no collision, 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.720 and he was like, no, I'm not. I expected him 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.640 to walk into the facility today. Didn't happen. So if 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.280 he comes tomorrow, and personally, I'm telling you right now, 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.919 I believe that Levan Bell will report to the Pittsburgh 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.320 Steelers in the next twenty four hours. That is my belief. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.760 I believe that when I am sitting here on Thursday 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.040 with the stats over beat Cipher, we're gonna talk about 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.920 Levian Bell as a full participant in Thursday's practice, will 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.279 be talking about him as like is he up to 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.240 speed yet or not? That's Thursday. But right now, he 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.120 still has yet to walk into the facility. So my 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.440 question for you is what is your level of concern 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.760 for Levan Bell? Four week one now? Last year. Remember 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.920 he came in and then weeks one and two it 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.760 was it was I, but it wasn't Left Bell right. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.839 So what's your level of concern there? Is it that, hey, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.640 everything's gonna be fine. Is it I'm a little concerned 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.279 but I'm still starting him, or is it, Oh my god, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.480 I need James Connor right now? Thank you to the 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.000 over a hundred people that have already voted in the 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.080 last hour since I put it up. We'll check in 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.880 with that right now. A lot of you guys got 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.599 your hair on fire. You thinking like chicken, little like 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.920 the sky is falling. Forties six percent of you say, 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.359 oh my god, I need James Conner. I'll tell you 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.719 what I think about that in a hot second. Let's 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.400 get you all caught up. If you were living under 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.360 a rock for the last weekend, I got you. First 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.400 of all. Jerrick McKinnon torn a c L done for 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.599 two thousand and eighteen. Okay, he did this in a 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.880 non contact injury. I've been telling you guys for the 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.560 better part of two months that I liked Jerick McKinnon overall. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.520 When I you know, when he got moved, But then 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.440 I thought the HP train went way too far on 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.000 Jerick McKinnon. I told you guys, I was out on 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.560 Jerick McKinnon, and I made the comparison of other backs 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.880 that flashed in a PPR rule role but then couldn't 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.400 handle the load as the main guy. I said Jack 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.880 McKinnon was in that conversation. If you listen to me, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.920 you avoided Jerick McKinnon. I'm gonna tell you right now 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.839 what you need to do, though. You need to scoop 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.560 up alf Morris. Okay, Alfred Morris is going to be 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.279 the early down back for the San Francisco forty Niners 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.400 this year. Matt breed Up has a role, but it 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.080 is a pass catching PPR kind of role. Alfred Morris 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.400 is the guy they went out and got. Why because 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.440 because of his time in our nation's capital with Kyle Shanahan, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.320 he knows the system. He's not going to be exciting, 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.800 but he is a starting running back in the NFL 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.920 who you can get for very cheap. We'll talk about 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.360 him in our waiver wire as well, so that Jack 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.000 McKinnon injury is definitely number one. UH trade. Khalil Mack. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640 Listen Khalil Mack and the Oakland Raiders were going to 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.880 stare down. So it happened, right, Um, Khalil Mack gets 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.200 traded to the Bears. It was Khalil Mack and the 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.840 second round pick for two first round picks back from 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.160 Chicago in two thousand nineteen and two thousand twenty. Right, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.719 But then the Bears turn around and pay that man 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.159 six years, a hundred and forty one million dollars, ninety 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.720 of which is guaranteed for Khalil Mack and his family. Okay, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.679 he becomes the rich just defensive player in NFL history. 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.560 It is the biggest contract in NFL history for a 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:11.880 defensive players, six years, one hundred and forty one million dollars. Okay, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.120 we're talking about twenty two plus per Alright, so we 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.160 like that, Um, but I don't know what the Raiders 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.760 are doing. They trade Khalil Mack, making their roster on 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.680 defense very pedestrian. They traded away Martevis Bryant because there 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.800 was the cloud no pun intended around Martevis blind about 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.720 the suspension. He now has an indefinite suspension. This is 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.880 his second indefinite suspension and what has been a four 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.920 year career. So they traded a third round draft pick 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.320 to get Martevis Bryant and now are casting him aside 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480 before he ever plays it down for the team. They 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.920 are trading away their best player in Khalil Mack. They 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.680 trade four Andy McCarron, I mean, excuse me, A J. McCarron, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.800 which should tell you all you need to know about 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.080 the status of whatever backups they had, like Connor Cook 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.760 or whatever it was. Right, So I teld you for 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.520 a while that I am on the under for the 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.880 Oakland Raiders. I continue to be on the under for 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.120 the Oakland Raiders. I got it at nine because I 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.640 was telling you guys about this months ago. Now I 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.559 think it's down to eight. I still like the under 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.120 on the Oakland Raiders. As I mentioned, Khalil Matt got 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.760 the richest contract in NFL history for a defensive player. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.760 He's set the market that was set twenty four hours previously. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.520 Aaron Donald finally came to an agreement with the Los 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.600 Angeles Rams. They agreed on a six year, one hundred 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:35.199 and thirty five million dollar contract, eighties seven of which 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.840 was guaranteed. Now, the Raiders, I don't know what they're 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.960 doing right in Oakland, but the Rams, I know what 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.960 they're doing. They are shoving all their chips to the 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.360 middle of the table. They know that when Jared Goff 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.680 toy have Goff on his rookie deal, right And We've 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.560 said this before on the Fantasy Freestyle. I've said this 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.240 before as the stable genius and vocal minority on the 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.600 Fantasy Sports Network, I have said that your window of 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.360 opera tunity when you have a good quarterback on their 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.600 rookie contract is right then and there. They know they're 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.400 gonna have to pay the piper eventually as it relates 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.120 to golf. So they are going all in right now. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.920 They get Aaron Donald this year they had and Dominican sue. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.560 They got on a fourteen year, fourteen million dollar deal. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.079 They acquire a keep to leave. They acquire Marcus Peters, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:26.040 they acquire Sam Shields for that defense right. They acquire 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.840 Brandon Cooks and sign them to a five year eighty 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.600 million dollar deal. They extend Todd Gurley to a four 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.240 year sixty million dollar deal. They extend their offensive lineman, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.920 Rob Havnstein to a four year, thirty two million dollar deal. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.439 They are making it rain in the City of Angels, 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:44.880 and they're only gonna be able to do so for 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.640 a couple more years, because then they're gonna have to 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:51.640 pay Jared Goff. This team's window is right now, and 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.520 I believe they're gonna do something with it. When I 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.160 give you my predictions for the NFC Championship Game, the 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.320 Los Angeles Rams may be involved. Okay, so listen. Going 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.800 into this, we knew about Khalil Mack. We knew about 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.880 Aaron Donald. There are still two name guys that have 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.280 not come into the building. The first is Earl Thomas 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.320 in Seattle. They're playing a game of chicken that I 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.440 don't think has an end in sight. I talked about 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.720 this from a man Scott Angle, the King Scotty Angle, 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.240 And by the way, happy birthday to my man the 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.640 King elre de fanta f s w A Hall of Famers, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.920 Scott Angle. You need to go on right now. If 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.959 you haven't yet, you need to go over the road 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.120 of Experts dot com and get the Exclusive Edge Fantasy 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.120 Football package. It gives you the great rankings, the great content, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.000 everything you need to win your league and win that cash. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.360 But shout out to my man Scott Angle birthday boy. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.000 I hope he's doing big things right now. Um. But 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.520 I asked him about Arl Thomas and he's saying, you know, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.480 to stare down right now as well. Listen, he sold 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.760 this house in Seattle. He don't want to be there, 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.880 all right. He's been talking about wanting to go down 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.520 to Texas and Dallas for a while now. But here's 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.240 the thing. The Seahawks have him blinked either. So the 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.320 question is does he want to start risking his game 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.600 checks Arl Thomas? That is, you know, money can be 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.920 a great motivator. What is he gonna do lose a 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.040 quarter of a million dollars at his family I'm sure 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.000 has had earmarked, or is he gonna show up with 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.000 his hat in his hand? Or what happens if he 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.520 does take this principaled approach after week one? Does that 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.360 make the Seahawks then like, man, his dude might be serious? 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.760 And do they budge? I think this standoff between Earl 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.800 Thomas and the Seahawks goes beyond this weekend, and then 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.880 I think he's gonna get traded, So keep an eye 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.160 out on that. The other name is Levan Bell, So 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.920 let's talk about this as it relates to Levyan Bell. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.480 I think he's coming in tomorrow. The question is what 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.880 does that mean for Week one? Listen, if you drafted 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.280 him in your top three in season long leagues, I 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.640 agree with Clayton Trey hand who's on the pole? You 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.280 start Levan Bell? Okay, but DFS, I ain't starting him 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.840 this week, all right? If I have other options, I'm 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.760 looking at that. Look I talked about this on and 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.679 this morning. It's completely viable that you have, oh, I 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.360 don't know, Levian Bell as your number one running back. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.520 It's viable then that you got Joe Mixon as r 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.720 R B two, let's say. And then in that scenario, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.320 it's also viable that you have, say, like maybe a 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.640 Dion Lewis as a flex back. I'm telling you right 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.760 now in PPR formats, if I'm faced with that conversation, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.160 I am starting Dion Lewis over Levian Bell this week. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.400 Don't get me wrong. I'm still drafting Levan Bell in 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.600 the top three tonight because I think it's gonna be 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.000 fine season long. Don't get me wrong, He's still the 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.720 back to own. I love lev Bell, but if you 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:53.520 have another starting running back option, I'd put him in 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.120 for leve just for a week one and Here's why 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.480 I think James Connor is gonna get some burn this 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.120 Sunday against Cleveland. Regardless of if you love Bell walks 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.720 in tomorrow or not, I think we're getting about sevent 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.280 of Levian Bell. He's a finely tuned athlete. He knows 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.000 the scheme in the system. He will be fine. What 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.360 I'm worried about is like Mike Tomlin benching him for 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.920 the first two series as a little slap on the wrist, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.440 I'm worried about maybe Connor getting in there in a 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.400 bigger rotation. I could be completely wrong and let Bell 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.720 could go for one three and two touchdowns and seven catches, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.079 just as like in FU mode. That's very viable, that's 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.040 very possible. I think what's more likely to happen is 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.560 that he will be weaned in that the Steelers backs 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.000 will be more of a time share four week one 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.640 than we've ever seen. That's not stopping me from drafting 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.240 him number whatever you were going to anyway. If he's 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.480 there for you at three, I'm taking him. He's there 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.920 for you at two. In PPR settings, I'm taking them. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.760 Use my number one overall back. Going into the drafts anyway, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:02.160 still is especially in PPR format. But for week one, 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.120 I can see a bigger time share than we may 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.600 have thought. Other things that caught my eye over the 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.280 weekend Evan Ingram back at practice. He's gonna be fine. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.200 Remember he was in the concussion protocol. He's gonna be fine. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.880 You can start him with confidence. Okay. Week one they 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.680 play the Jaguars, right, so their wide receivers are gonna 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.160 be back with the jackson five right. And cat scratch fever. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.240 If you're part of the stats overbeat Cipher, if you're 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.400 part of the best Friends Forever, you remember the cat 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.200 scratch fever from Jacksonville last year. So that might be O'Dell, 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.760 that might be Sterling Shepherd, but it might be Ingram, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.040 you know, in the middle of the field, so that 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.440 might be viable. Um. The other tight end news I 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.040 wanted to mention is as it relates to the Chargers. Right. So, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.960 in an intriguing move over the weekend, Uh, they put 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.960 Hunter Henry on pop not I R Okay, So that 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.800 means that there's a chance that Hunter Henry returns what 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.240 in December or in the playoffs or a playoff roster 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.080 kind of thing. And then what do they do UH 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.800 late over the weekend or maybe even on Labor Day, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.000 they go ahead and sign Antonio Gates to a one 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.880 year deal. Okay, a lot of people said that this 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.880 was going to happen. No, Antonio Gates does not need 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.400 the preseason. He knows everything he needs to know about 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.080 the scheme. He knows everything he needs to know about 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.640 Philip Rivers, and I think he's gonna be viable in 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.000 the red zone. I think he's gonna be viable on 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.960 third down when Philip Rivers wants his security blanket. I 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.840 have been hyping up Mike Williams as a Charger's wide 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.240 receiver for the better part of a month or two months. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.600 I still like Mike Williams to take a step forward 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.240 this year as a second year wide receiver who's, you know, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.040 recovering from his injuries and looks healthy. I still like 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.000 Mike Williams. But I do have a little bit of 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.920 cause for pause as it turns into that touchdown production, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.600 that red zone. UH targets those things I do think 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.600 Antonio Gates will eat into a little bit. But I'm 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.720 still comfortable with Mike Wallace as a UM as a 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.880 wide receiver. Four. All Right, so maybe wide receiver, you 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.960 know in the late forties, later down in drafts, when 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.560 you're down in round ten or something like that. I'm okay, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.480 still with Mike Williams before we go to break. Also, Glad, 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.400 I let you know the Bills have decided to start 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:07.320 Nate Peterman at Baltimore. I'm telling you Josh Allen is 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.920 still the answer for this team long term. They still 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.400 see Josh Allen as they are long term franchise quarterback. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.400 I think they're trying to protect Josh Allen here. That 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.560 offensive line is blunt, guts, trash in Buffalo, and I 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.400 think they're worried about Nate Peterman. Excuse me about Josh 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.320 Allen getting beat up. Early in the season. They played 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.720 the Ravens with their pass rush, the Chargers with Boson 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.400 Ingram coming after them, and then the Vikings with Hunter 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.680 and Griffin and like Sheldon Richardson putting pressure on them. 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.960 I think they're letting Nate Peterman in in essence to 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.240 be the sacrificial lamb, throwing him to the Wolves so 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.760 that Josh Allen gets it. When the schedule opens up 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.600 a little bit and hopefully they get time to coach 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.560 up that offensive line. That's where I'm at on the Bills, 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.040 and I'm still running to the window to take the 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.360 under on the Buffalo Bill season win total. Because guess what, 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.440 zero people have bet the over. I literally checked on 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.960 my bookie to kind of like statistics and analytics. They 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.399 have zero people that have bet the over on the 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.399 Buffalo Bills. That's why their juices at minus one the 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.679 under and plus one seventy for the over. Get it 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.919 now before it goes down if you want. When we 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.120 come back, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna talk 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.920 defensive diamonds and fool gazes.

I see some 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.000 people hit me up with questions here in the chat room. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.280 We're gonna get that my man Danny Otto, who is 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.560 back in the fantasy pit of misery. Dilly Dilly to him, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.159 Dilly Dilley to Sergio Rodriguez out there as well. I 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.840 see your question wide receivers, Cooper, Crowder, Stills or Cup. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.640 You need two in a PPR. That is tough. Um, 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.240 here's the thing for me, I like all four of 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.679 these wide receivers. Sergio, I'm gonna tell you right now, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.960 Cooper is a definite. I've evolved on Amari Cooper. If 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:35.840 you're part of the stats over beat Cipher, you know 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.880 I was down on him. I thought he was blunt, 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.400 guts trash last year, that he defecated the mattress. This year, 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.560 I'm in on Cooper. No Michael Crabtree, and in the 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.080 John Gruden offense, the number one wide receiver always does well, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.520 so Cooper is in it. For me. It gets real 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:55.679 interesting with the other guys. It was Crowder, Stills or Cup, 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.960 Cup as part of that herd. I'll be talking about 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.520 the Fantasy Herds all the time, and I think Cup 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.159 is part of the hurt. There's gonna be some weeks 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.080 where he pops off. It's great to have him on 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.159 your roster, but I would take these other guys. If 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:08.480 you ask me two weeks ago, I would have said 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.200 Jameson Crowder and then Kenny Stills. But with Davantae Parker 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.639 still being out with that broken hand, Kenny Stills is 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.000 the number one receiver for these Miami Dolphins, and I 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.719 believe the Miami Dolphins game flow will dictate that they 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.760 are going to be down. I'm bumping Kenny Stills up. 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.520 I might take Stills even over a shot of Jamo 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.439 and a shot at Jamison Crowder. I want to say, uh, listen, 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.840 there's somebody yo. Mario Alani's big shout out to you 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.680 out there on the chat room saying freestyle greater than 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:41.560 Signed Frenzy, greater than signed BFFs Now. Listen, guys, I 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.919 love the support my man Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive. 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.080 He helps you get that bag. Also, my people Greg Sussman, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.480 Frank Standfell. They do what it is and then afterwards 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.280 drinks around Greg. Right, So I love everybody here on 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.120 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for sure, but I appreciate 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.359 the love. Mario's also asked me real quick, Marvin Jones 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.720 or Jarvis Landry. I'm with Jarvis Landry. I don't think 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.840 Josh Gordon is gonna be right week one, Antonio Callaway 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.280 is actually gonna start. I'm all over Jarvis Landry week 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.480
