Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday.
Speaker 2: October seventh, twenty twenty four. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy
Speaker 2: Football Show. It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grant,
Speaker 2: joined by Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones, and we
Speaker 2: are all victims of stupid losses. This week, we collectively
Speaker 2: would owen three with our NFL teams. All three were
Speaker 2: losses that I'm sure we're gonna sit back and kick ourselves.
Speaker 3: Not that we're kicking ourselves. We had nothing to do
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 2: But look back, you look as missed opportunities I think
Speaker 2: for our respective teams. Florida, I know you have long
Speaker 2: been on the Sean McDermott has to go train. H Lakwana,
Speaker 2: you're not on the Sean McVay has to go train,
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not? And Sean we trust forever. Hopefully he could
Speaker 5: stick around for another ten years.
Speaker 2: All right, I don't know that I'm I'm definitely not
Speaker 2: on the fire Kyle Shanahan train.
Speaker 3: But sometimes he makes it really hard. I'll just it's
Speaker 3: just it's.
Speaker 2: Really frustrating sometimes watching a Kyle Shanahan coach team. Anyway,
Speaker 2: We'll trying to get to some other things that are
Speaker 2: less stupid. Over the course of this show have our
Speaker 2: biggest takeaways from week five. We have our waiver wire
Speaker 2: look and guys that maybe we're cool as now. After
Speaker 2: some struggles to start the season, they came around and
Speaker 2: maybe things are okay. But first let's get started with
Speaker 2: some fantasy headlines, and just one headline at the moment,
Speaker 2: and that is in Cleveland, where after the Browns lost
Speaker 2: to the Washington Commanders, Kevin's the fantasy stepped to the
Speaker 2: microphone and said.
Speaker 3: We are not changing qbs.
Speaker 2: In my head it was Leonardo DiCaprio from The Wolf
Speaker 2: of Wall Street. I'm not bleeping leaving sort of the
Speaker 2: way I took this one. But Florio, I mean, look,
Speaker 2: we all looked at this past week and we said,
Speaker 2: if there was ever a week for Deshaun Watson and
Speaker 2: the passing game to get going, it was against this
Speaker 2: Commander's secondary. He was fifteen of twenty eight for one
Speaker 2: five they'd have the one touchdown, but it was a
Speaker 2: disaster if you watched it.
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point.
Speaker 2: If this continues on this way, can we consistently trust
Speaker 2: any Brown's pass catchers With Watson at quarterback, the.
Speaker 6: Only one I think you can is Amari Cooper. And
Speaker 6: even with Amari Cooper, you know how it's going to look.
Speaker 6: It's going to be very boomer busts. Like yesterday ten points.
Speaker 6: I was disappointed because of the matchup, but you look
Speaker 6: at the usage. It's still off the charts, ten targets.
Speaker 6: He's still every week one of the top five wide
Speaker 6: receivers in air yards. So I get it. I know
Speaker 6: people are probably like annoyed hearing this, but the big
Speaker 6: weeks are going to come and the usage is too good.
Speaker 6: I think, like I have Amari Cooper on a lot
Speaker 6: of teams and there's maybe one where I feel confident
Speaker 6: in my other options to get away from him, and
Speaker 6: most of them I'm like, I have to roll the
Speaker 6: dice on him. But this is a crazy stat from yesterday.
Speaker 6: Jamis Winston threw one pass. He converted more third downs
Speaker 6: than to Watson, Like Deshaun Winson has this Brown's offense
Speaker 6: up there with some of the worst offenses in NFL history.
Speaker 6: And we were joking in text yesterday Kevin Stefanski like
Speaker 6: hates his life right now, like he does not want
Speaker 6: to continue starting Deshaun Watson. I guarantee you that. But
Speaker 6: they are into deep contract wise with him, so they're
Speaker 6: just going to sacrifice this season, I guess.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking lakwan at the upcoming schedule. So
Speaker 2: next week they're on the road at Philadelphia, and maybe
Speaker 2: we trust them there. But after that, you know, they
Speaker 2: they've got the Bengals, who might be a decent matchup,
Speaker 2: but then they have the Ravens, the Chargers, the Saints,
Speaker 2: the Steelers, the Broncos, the Steelers again, the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: We're running out of places to start a Mariy Cooper,
Speaker 3: aren't we.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's looking like real nasty work here over there
Speaker 5: in Cleveland. It's more so you're looking at all the
Speaker 5: pieces around them, like you have damn Nijokubec, you have
Speaker 5: Jerry Judy, who's a secondary weapon to Mario Cooper, and
Speaker 5: we're still getting this finished product. I will give him
Speaker 5: a little bit of slack, being that the old line
Speaker 5: is not healthy when you have both tackles that are
Speaker 5: your starters that are out with injuries. But still no excuse, man,
Speaker 5: when you have the talent as Amari Cooper and Jerry Judy,
Speaker 5: Like you really can't trust these guys moving forward with
Speaker 5: this schedule looking real wicked, you know, with the upcoming weeks.
Speaker 5: So me for fantasy, I'm staying away unless it's David
Speaker 5: n Djoko because the tight end fantasy streets are starting
Speaker 5: to get better as the weeks can go on. Thankfully
Speaker 5: he's back, so it gives him a nice end zone
Speaker 5: target that he can possibly find the end zone. But
Speaker 5: I'm screaming for Jameis Winston.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, but I need me
Speaker 5: some Winston to eat some w's on camera again, for
Speaker 5: him to be front and center, Like we need some
Speaker 5: Winston in our life right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, the fantasy streets are clamoring for Jameis Winston,
Speaker 2: but it appears that the Browns are not ready to
Speaker 2: make that move. It's going to be And by the way,
Speaker 2: I love the way that you're like, hey, I want
Speaker 2: David and Joku, not because you think he's going to
Speaker 2: play well or that the matchups are good, but you're like,
Speaker 2: he tight ends terrible, So let's just one more guy
Speaker 2: in there in the next literally desperate.
Speaker 5: Desperate for anybody that can play football, and that's a
Speaker 5: tight end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's where we are.
Speaker 7: So yeah, go ahead was the one thing that goes
Speaker 7: under the raidar I think with this Browns team is
Speaker 7: like Jerome Ford should be one week of trust, but
Speaker 7: now they're using three running backs as well, Like it's a.
Speaker 2: Nice and Nick Chubb is on the horizon too, so
Speaker 2: that's something keep in mind as well. All Right, So
Speaker 2: while the Browns are out here playing fantasy Arthur Fleck,
Speaker 2: let's take a look at some of the week's top
Speaker 2: scores heading into Monday Night football. Kirk Cousins thirty four
Speaker 2: point three to six points. That was the first thing
Speaker 2: we saw from a week five, and so far it
Speaker 2: is held up.
Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby, we got to talk about that in just
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Nearly twenty six points for him, one hundred and one
Speaker 2: rushing yards, two touchdowns, Also twenty eight receiving yards. Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase doing Jamar Chase things, and he's always good for it.
Speaker 2: Seems like one forty point game a season. Tim Jets
Speaker 2: is a buck ninety three and two tuddies. Tucker Kraft,
Speaker 2: who a lot of us were promoting as a sleeper
Speaker 2: tied end this week. He went all four catches, eighty
Speaker 2: eight yards, two touchdowns, nearly twenty five points for him,
Speaker 2: Para Kickers got to sixteen, Young Waykup and Chase McLoughlin,
Speaker 2: and three different defenses with sixteen points, the Broncos, the Giants,
Speaker 2: and the Vikings. So that's a look at the general
Speaker 2: state of the fantasy hero dem for U Lakwan, anybody
Speaker 2: in particular you want to shout out this week.
Speaker 5: I got to give a huge shout out to Trace
Speaker 5: Sermon because losing my one and two running backs in
Speaker 5: first round and second round with one on by with
Speaker 5: Jamir Gibbs and then Jonathan Taylor with the ankle injury
Speaker 5: and fresh off the wire, this guy comes in and
Speaker 5: puts up eighteen Fantasy points. Now, that might not have
Speaker 5: been the prettiest production day out of him ten carries
Speaker 5: thirty eight yards on the ground and the TV, but
Speaker 5: it's more so having the career high and six targets
Speaker 5: and six catches what really helped this points get to
Speaker 5: where it was with eighteen. So it's like big shout
Speaker 5: out to him because I was absolutely terrified. I'm pretty
Speaker 5: sure other fantasy managers were having him in starting lineups
Speaker 5: because he hasn't had the best history, you know, in
Speaker 5: the NFL.
Speaker 4: Bouncing from team the team.
Speaker 5: So for him to come in, show up and show
Speaker 5: out fresh off the wire, helping me possibly get this
Speaker 5: dumb shout out.
Speaker 4: You know, Monday Nights football. Hopefully don't come.
Speaker 5: Back, but listen, Trey Sermon, big shout out man, because
Speaker 5: the running backs right now, they're falling each and every
Speaker 5: week with injuries. So you know, shout out to him
Speaker 5: man again of showing up and showing out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to love when the sleeper running backs
Speaker 2: step up and take advantage of a good matchup. It's
Speaker 2: one thing to have a good matchup, it's another thing
Speaker 2: to actually take advantage of it.
Speaker 3: And he did that this week.
Speaker 2: So it's it's funny that Floriela, a guy named Kraft
Speaker 2: hangs out with cheeseheads. Almost seems like it was like
Speaker 2: it was destined to be.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And what I love about this is to Laqwan's
Speaker 6: point from earlier, like tight end is pretty bad right now.
Speaker 6: So to get someone like Tucker Craft who two big
Speaker 6: games in a row, and what stands out to me
Speaker 6: even more than the fact that he had eighty eight
Speaker 6: yards and two touchdowns and went was the tight end
Speaker 6: one on the week with nearly twenty five fantasy points.
Speaker 6: Is that five targets. He was third on the Packers
Speaker 6: in targets, and that was something people were questioning coming
Speaker 6: into this game. I know Romeo Dobbs was out. Things
Speaker 6: seem a little weird with him right now. Christian Watson
Speaker 6: is clearly banged up. So I don't see how if
Speaker 6: you have Tucker Kraft right now, how you could be like, oh,
Speaker 6: this was just a flash in the pan, Like maybe,
Speaker 6: but given the state of tight end, given the offense
Speaker 6: and the quarterback that he is tied to, and the
Speaker 6: way that he has been performing, I think you have
Speaker 6: to feel pretty good about Tucker Kraft and I would
Speaker 6: keep riding the hot hand moving forward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think this is a flash in the pan.
Speaker 2: You sort of looked at the metrics between he and
Speaker 2: Luke Musgrave, and I know Muskrave's banged up, but when
Speaker 2: they were both healthy on the field together, it was
Speaker 2: Kraft that was getting a lot of the opportunities in
Speaker 2: the passing game. He looks like the clear tight end
Speaker 2: one in Green Bay, and he showed it this past week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he looked good for sure for me. It's from Andre
Speaker 2: Stevenson and I know the chatter during the week was
Speaker 2: Antonio Gibson getting the start because Stevenson was putting the
Speaker 2: ball on the ground. Even he admitted, look, I've dropped
Speaker 2: the ball four times, this is going to happen. I
Speaker 2: still just believe that overall, Stevenson was the better running
Speaker 2: back in New England and that is what showed on
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Dolphins. Now, minds you, the Patriots offense
Speaker 2: is still a mess and it's hard to count on
Speaker 2: anybody consistently there. But the snaps were split pretty much evenly.
Speaker 2: I think Gibson had won more than Stevenson did and
Speaker 2: that was it. But Stevenson had more touches twelve carries
Speaker 2: eighty nine yards and a touchdown, also four catches for
Speaker 2: three yards, but still getting the opportunities there In that offense,
Speaker 2: Antonio Gibson had been explosive, had been more of a
Speaker 2: big play guy, but it also felt like that was
Speaker 2: going to be very volatile. So hopefully this sort of
Speaker 2: writes the ship in New England. We get back to
Speaker 2: Stevenson as the lead running back for the Patriots. Very
Speaker 2: interesting to see what happens at quarterback in the near future.
Speaker 2: If we get Drake May if they stay with Jacoby Brissett,
Speaker 2: but at least for now, still holding on to the
Speaker 2: fact that ramondre Stevenson is RB one for New England.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those are our fantasy heros. Let's not into
Speaker 2: some bigger things. Kind of a macro. Look at week
Speaker 2: five and de la Quo. What was one of the
Speaker 2: things you took away from what you saw?
Speaker 5: Tank Bixby is here, man, He's finally arrived and it
Speaker 5: was good to see him actually show up and show
Speaker 5: out with his opportunities and put up big fantasy points.
Speaker 5: I mean, in the last three games you have seen
Speaker 5: his workload increase from snaps, from rushes, from total touches
Speaker 5: and routes in general, where he's been taking advantage of
Speaker 5: all these opportunities they've been given him. You know, Travis
Speaker 5: atn is banged up with a shoulder injury, but you
Speaker 5: just love to see with the proper matchup he's taken
Speaker 5: the opportunity. Look at him go to the house with this.
Speaker 5: He even pointed back at the guy like he is
Speaker 5: on a full confidence run. And I think this is
Speaker 5: what the coaching staff have been trying to get out
Speaker 5: of him. They've been trying to build on his confidence
Speaker 5: and try to get him more opportunities because we all
Speaker 5: knew the talent was there and this is where he's
Speaker 5: thriving at and they can stack the box against him
Speaker 5: all day one. He averaged fifteen point six yards per
Speaker 5: carry in stack box his last game. So we're looking
Speaker 5: at a guy that could be a potential threat to
Speaker 5: give this offense a spark on the run game because
Speaker 5: Traves atn with him banged up, he has not been
Speaker 5: getting it done as an efficient running.
Speaker 4: Back out of that backfield.
Speaker 5: He's more so the guy that they could rely on
Speaker 5: out of the backfield with the pass catching. So love
Speaker 5: the matchup that he has coming up as well against
Speaker 5: the Bears next week where they allowed ninety plus scrimming
Speaker 5: sharts to notable starting running backs. So far this season,
Speaker 5: you have Tony Poler who put up eighteen fantasy points,
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor with twenty six, Kyrom Williams with twenty and
Speaker 5: then Chuba Hubber My guy was seventeen point five. So
Speaker 5: the matchup is there for him to go up again,
Speaker 5: to show up and show out with these opportunities.
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking like you're making a strong case for most
Speaker 3: improved Player in the NFL this year. Look looking at
Speaker 3: this year versus last year. Man, uh, you Floria got
Speaker 3: one where I'm sure this hits a little bit close
Speaker 3: to home for you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I think there might be calls for concern
Speaker 6: with Josh Allen. And when I say that, I put
Speaker 6: some of the blame on Josh Allen, but not more,
Speaker 6: because yes, he did not play great yesterday. I will
Speaker 6: admit that he missed some throws. Particularly he had Dalton
Speaker 6: Kinkaid with a step in the middle of the field
Speaker 6: downfield and he just underthrew it. I know that's one
Speaker 6: he wishes he could have back. But I more concerning
Speaker 6: than that is I am afraid that the book might
Speaker 6: be out on how to guard this Bill's offense because
Speaker 6: I know Khalil Shakir was out yesterday and he is
Speaker 6: someone that I've pounded the table for. You've seen the
Speaker 6: kink throw right there by the way, but yeah, I
Speaker 6: was pounding the tables and stuff for k for Shakir.
Speaker 6: If your offense looks completely broken without Khalil Shakir, that
Speaker 6: is a problem. And what the Texans did yesterday they
Speaker 6: sold out. They brought pressure, which made Josh Allen have
Speaker 6: to make very quick decisions. He was running for his
Speaker 6: life most of the time. Even his crazy plays where
Speaker 6: he runs to the sideline and he's a downfield was
Speaker 6: not working because no one was able to create any
Speaker 6: sort of separation. The Bills need a wide receiver desperately.
Speaker 6: It is clearly not working. Their rebuilt olon cannot have
Speaker 6: the pressure that was being thrown at them. And you
Speaker 6: look at Josh Allen's season right now, two games over
Speaker 6: thirty fantasy points, three under fifteen. It's two of them
Speaker 6: in single digits. It's very boom or bust right now.
Speaker 6: He's still running, but we knew he wasn't going to
Speaker 6: have fifteen rushing touchdowns like he did last season. And
Speaker 6: right now, the Bill's passing attack looks kind of broken.
Speaker 6: And I don't know where that like. We all want
Speaker 6: Don Kinkaid on the field more. He's getting blown up
Speaker 6: every time they try to throw a screen because he
Speaker 6: can't block. I don't know where the answers come from
Speaker 6: right now. This is both as a fan of the
Speaker 6: Bills and of Josh Allen, and as someone who ranked
Speaker 6: Josh Allen very highly in Fantasy coming into this year.
Speaker 6: I've defended him for a very long time. This is
Speaker 6: the most worried I've ever been about this offense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's one of the things sort of
Speaker 3: like Kansas City.
Speaker 2: The quarterback, you know, is good, the situation has some
Speaker 2: question marks around it, and we have to sort of
Speaker 2: adjust in fantasy, speaking of quarterbacks that are sort of
Speaker 2: a question mark. I know Anthony Richardson is the qv
Speaker 2: one in Indianapolis. I know that there's not really a
Speaker 2: quarter competition, But are we sure we don't want Anthony
Speaker 2: Richardson to maybe just chill for a little bit longer
Speaker 2: and get Joe Flacco some more opportunities. I mean, we
Speaker 2: look at this passing game and the way it is
Speaker 2: kicked off the last couple of weeks with Flacco under center.
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce right now is a top fifteen wide receiver
Speaker 2: in Fantasy, in part because of what Joe Flacco is doing.
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman has had back to back double digit games,
Speaker 2: didn't have a ton of yards yesterday, but did get
Speaker 2: in the end zone. Josh Downs, who's now back in
Speaker 2: healthy's starting to get into the mix a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson a supreme talent, who I think is still developing,
Speaker 2: but also a guy who really is struggling with the
Speaker 2: passing game and is bringing down the rest of the
Speaker 2: pass catchers in that Indianapolis offense. So I know when
Speaker 2: he's healthy, he's going to be back in there as
Speaker 2: the starter. But man, if we could just get a
Speaker 2: little bit more Joe Flacco, I think we'd feel a
Speaker 2: lot better about our shares of the Indianapolis passing game.
Speaker 2: All Right, we will dive into the waiver wire also
Speaker 2: figure out if maybe we're cool with some guys who
Speaker 2: struggled the first month of the season.
Speaker 3: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football.
Speaker 2: Show Live from London, Tremor Lawrence and the Jags take
Speaker 2: on Caleb Williams and the Bears on NFL Network, Rise,
Speaker 2: Shine and watch Sunday, October thirteenth at nine thirty am
Speaker 2: Eastern only on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Subscription required
Speaker 2: for NFL Plus. Let's take a look at this week's
Speaker 2: waiver wire options. Florio, Who should we be targeting on
Speaker 2: free agency in Week six?
Speaker 6: Your boy Caleb Williams, who continues who looked for the
Speaker 6: best he's looked all year. I would say yesterday Gino
Speaker 6: Smith continues to come through even without throwing a bunch
Speaker 6: of touchdowns. He ran for over seventy yards. Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 6: I know he's on a bye, but you saw what
Speaker 6: he did on Thursday, Tank Bigsby, who Lawan spoke up, Tyrone,
Speaker 6: Tracy Junior who played really well without Singletary, Alexander Madison
Speaker 6: just because of volume, Trace Sermon and case Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 6: is out again next week, Jalen Wright who got a
Speaker 6: lot of volume, and then Roshawan Johnson for the Bears.
Speaker 6: Some pass catchers, please pick up Darnell Mooney already. Alan
Speaker 6: Lazard continues to be a thing for the Jets. Wandell
Speaker 6: Robinson needs to be picked up as well. Josh Downs,
Speaker 6: Jordan Winnington, Alec Pearson to too at well. A couple
Speaker 6: of colts and rams there and then. It is a
Speaker 6: good week for tight ends if you need one off
Speaker 6: the waiver wire. Tucker Craft is obviously a must add,
Speaker 6: with Tyler Conklin in a good matchup next week against
Speaker 6: the Bills, and then Zach Ertz, who continues to just
Speaker 6: be a safe, steady floor option at a position that
Speaker 6: doesn't really have a whole lot of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I like zach Ertz earlier in the season.
Speaker 2: I think at some point he kind of fades out,
Speaker 2: but right now he seems like he's a very viable option.
Speaker 3: But let's get to.
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams because he is going to be playing in London.
Speaker 2: Really starting to come together. I mean, lakwan, I just
Speaker 2: a little peek behind the curtain. I'm putting together my
Speaker 2: list of sleepers for the week. Caleb is top of
Speaker 2: the list. Are we starting to buy in to the
Speaker 2: number one overall pick a little more now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Because he's taken advantage of the matchups as well. You know,
Speaker 5: you build off of the Rams game, you build off
Speaker 5: of our bad secondary, but you go into last week
Speaker 5: and go in there and go out there and ball out.
Speaker 5: I mean the last two weeks he's averaging seventeen and
Speaker 5: a half Fantasy points. This is something where he can
Speaker 5: build off of and going with the Jags, this is
Speaker 5: a layup matchup for him in my opinion, based on
Speaker 5: how he's playing, and if they get that run game
Speaker 5: going how they didn't last game, they will be able
Speaker 5: to get Caleb in to play action, be able to
Speaker 5: air it out and giving him time this old line
Speaker 5: is trying their best to protect him, but he's getting
Speaker 5: the ball out fast and I swear he's probably the
Speaker 5: best in the game to keep the plays alive. Look
Speaker 5: at here, he's just scanning left and right. Being able
Speaker 5: to have that time and make a decision, it's going
Speaker 5: to be very important for him. So he's a hot
Speaker 5: pickup off the waiver. Wife, you're looking for a quarterback
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just amazing. When they give him time, he
Speaker 2: makes plays. Kind of weird how that happens. Also, by
Speaker 2: the way, have a rushing touchdown called back exactly.
Speaker 6: What I was just about to say, Like the completely different.
Speaker 6: Even better if.
Speaker 5: That's the confidence you're building, the confidence and this is
Speaker 5: the matchups he needs.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Josh downs you mentioned him Florio as well. I
Speaker 2: know I talked about Joe Flacco at quarterback and what
Speaker 2: this means. I like, Josh Stamzon just seems you know,
Speaker 2: obviously he was hurt at the start of the year,
Speaker 2: but now it looks like he's in a role that
Speaker 2: we can feel comfortable with him.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, twelve targets, nine catches, sixty nine yards. The only
Speaker 6: thing is it's what you were saying earlier, Marcus, This
Speaker 6: is what Joe Flacco, who we know can get the ball,
Speaker 6: go through his progressions quickly, get the ball to the
Speaker 6: open guy. Stuff like that. When it's Anthony Richardson and
Speaker 6: his accuracy issues. I like, if it's Anthony Richardson next
Speaker 6: week against the Titans, I'm already planning on writing Pittman
Speaker 6: and Downs as sits for that week because it's easy
Speaker 6: to get sucked into what they've done with Joe Flacco.
Speaker 6: But it's all going to change when when Anthony Richardson
Speaker 6: comes back. Do you guys still think though, like what
Speaker 6: Downs has done, you could just trust him no matter
Speaker 6: who the quarterback is or No.
Speaker 2: I want to say yes, but I I can't really
Speaker 2: say yes right now.
Speaker 3: I just you know, no, I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: When Richeson comes back, if I've got Downs, I'm probably
Speaker 2: plugging him into a lineup, but I'm also sweating it
Speaker 2: out if that's what happens.
Speaker 6: So you guys Jackson reaction at the exact same time,
Speaker 6: that was perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I called that the march Simpson, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: So basically we're saying we're not one hundred percent cool
Speaker 2: with the Colts passing game.
Speaker 3: But we have some guys that.
Speaker 2: Maybe we are cool with now, so it's gotta hit
Speaker 2: you guys on each one of these a little bit.
Speaker 2: I mean, Garrett Wilson finally had a Garrett Wilson type
Speaker 2: game against the Minnesota Vikings and a loss. All it
Speaker 2: took Lakwan was twenty two targets for him to get
Speaker 2: thirteen catches, buckle one a touchdown.
Speaker 3: But are we cool with Garrett Wilson now?
Speaker 4: Uh No, I'm still not cool.
Speaker 5: I love that again, twenty two targets, but at the
Speaker 5: end of the day, it needs to be consistent because
Speaker 5: we know Aaron Rodgers is still going to target Allen
Speaker 5: Thizard in areas that matter the most. You look at
Speaker 5: this touchdown, Garrett Wilson got loose on the linebacker. Any
Speaker 5: other time you have Alan Lazard being his first read
Speaker 5: looking at in that red zone area. So this game,
Speaker 5: I feel like it was an outlier being that you
Speaker 5: know they needed to get something going. This was a
Speaker 5: dire need that they need to get back in the
Speaker 5: game and score. So therefore, I'm not too sure we
Speaker 5: can get these wide receiver one consistent weeks out of
Speaker 5: Garrett Wilson because there's times where Aaron Rodgers just straight
Speaker 5: up ignores Garrett Wilson. I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on there. But again, this
Speaker 5: is part of the Jersey short storyline. We're just going
Speaker 5: to figure out at the end of the season.
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, other offenses draw place, get their guys away
Speaker 6: from their best player, away from the defensive attention hackets
Speaker 6: like a, we want you to take the attention so
Speaker 6: we could get the other Like, it doesn't make sense
Speaker 6: to me. I think he's a cell high right now.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out which characters are with Who's
Speaker 5: Ron Whosam, Who's Paul Ready who?
Speaker 4: Like, it's crazy over there now what's going on? But
Speaker 4: I guess we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned as we figure it out.
Speaker 2: A little bit later on UH Florida, DeAndre Swift back
Speaker 2: to back good games for him. He goes for seventy
Speaker 2: three and a touchdown on the ground, another forty seven receiving.
Speaker 3: Are we cool now?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, I think we are. I know the first
Speaker 6: two weeks we're pretty bad, but the last two have
Speaker 6: been awesome. And the thing is the volume. That's what
Speaker 6: I care about, and that's what you should care about.
Speaker 6: For fantasy twenty one carries and then he's getting highly
Speaker 6: I know, only two targets, he'll say, but forty seven
Speaker 6: passing yards. Let's not forget that last week in Week four,
Speaker 6: he led them in carries, rushing yards, targets, catches, and
Speaker 6: receiving yards. So this sort of volume that he is getting,
Speaker 6: he was one of two or three running backs this
Speaker 6: week to touch the ball, to have twenty carries or more.
Speaker 6: So that sort of volume I just don't think you
Speaker 6: can ignore. I don't think he's going to put up
Speaker 6: twenty fantasy points every week because of the Bears O line.
Speaker 6: There'll be some down games, but if Caleb is starting
Speaker 6: to feel comfortable and that passing game is starting to
Speaker 6: get going, it's only going to help create more running
Speaker 6: lanes and open stuff up for DeAndre Swift. And what
Speaker 6: I love, they rewarded him with a touchdown because he
Speaker 6: went the entire drive on one of their drives, got
Speaker 6: them down to the half yard had a touchdown called back,
Speaker 6: then got down to the half yard line. Then they
Speaker 6: brought in Roshan the second time. They were like, all right,
Speaker 6: so if you've earned this one and he got the
Speaker 6: goal on carry, and if he's getting even some of those,
Speaker 6: I think he becomes a running back that you can
Speaker 6: just start each week.
Speaker 3: That's nice to see that he's back.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know what to think of the
Speaker 2: Bears running game, but the feers like DeAndre Swift has
Speaker 2: sort of solidified himself still like Roshawn Johnson though to
Speaker 2: get some opportunities there.
Speaker 4: They played him like they paid him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly for me. With the Ravens side ends, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm cool with the Baltimore Ravens tight
Speaker 2: ends because yeah, three of them performed yesterday, but in
Speaker 2: varying degrees, right, I mean, it was Isaiah Likely who
Speaker 2: had the most Fantasy points, it was Charlie Koehler who
Speaker 2: had the most receiving yards. Mark Andrews had his best
Speaker 2: Fantasy game of the year. Even that was just nine
Speaker 2: and a half points. It's still too spread out. There's
Speaker 2: still too many options there, and it's still very inconsistent
Speaker 2: when they get them the ball. Jackson with three forty
Speaker 2: eight four touchdowns is nice. You can't count on that
Speaker 2: every single week, So I want to believe I'm still
Speaker 2: starting Mark Andrews because I mean, what else am I
Speaker 2: gonna do? But I don't know if I'm cool now
Speaker 2: exactly where the Ravens died in.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, likely at three thirteen.
Speaker 2: Yards that's it. But he had two touchdowns. Nasty nasty work.
Speaker 2: So now let's talk about one of our favorite moments
Speaker 2: from the past week. The Vikings Defense has been on
Speaker 2: a pretty good run when it comes to celebrations.
Speaker 3: And they had another one in London over.
Speaker 2: The weekend after picking off Aaron Rodgers to do the celebration.
Speaker 3: From the Parent Trap Fellas. Your thoughts on this celebration.
Speaker 3: I love this.
Speaker 5: I mean, like it's so random at that, Like who
Speaker 5: watched this movie recently? It's the Butler and Lizzlie Lohan
Speaker 5: doing the handshake. Like I forgot all about this movie
Speaker 5: even existing.
Speaker 6: I've never seen the movie. So when I saw the celebration,
Speaker 6: I was like, that's cool. They must have practiced this week.
Speaker 6: But then I had no idea where it was from
Speaker 6: or anything like that. But cool moment for them. I mean,
Speaker 6: they're having a lot of fun and they should be
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can remember. I don't know if it was
Speaker 3: Byron Murphy or someone else.
Speaker 2: Was saying, like, yeah, it's one of my favorite movies,
Speaker 2: and I watched it the week before since it takes
Speaker 2: place in London, so I knew we were going to London.
Speaker 2: I watched it ahead of time, and it just, in
Speaker 2: a moment of inspiration, struck them that that's what they
Speaker 2: should do as their celebration.
Speaker 6: Wait wait, wait wait wait, So that wasn't pre planned,
Speaker 6: like they just thought of it.
Speaker 3: I mean they played it during the week, they knew
Speaker 3: they were going to London.
Speaker 2: The movie takes place in London, so they're like, all right,
Speaker 2: let's put this together in case we make a place.
Speaker 3: So shout out to them.
Speaker 6: I was like, if they knew how to do the
Speaker 6: whole thing on the fay, would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been Selly of the year, Selly
Speaker 2: of the year hands down if they just did it
Speaker 2: like on the fly for sure. So all right, So
Speaker 2: that's a good way to love. That's a good thing
Speaker 2: to love. It's a good way to finish out this show.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you hanging out with us.
Speaker 3: That is it. We are done.
