9
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live, presented by Bows. I'm James

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: go alongside Michael found me out of the Hall of

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Famer as you saw there in the Olphan and l

Speaker 1: in just a moment, but make sure to follow us

15
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter at NFL Fantasy. Let's get right into it.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Though the Detroit lin is gonna be playing the Atlanta

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Falcons on Thursday, they still maybe without their star wide

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: receiver Calvin Johnson. This week, Megatron made the trip to London,

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: but was limited in practice Wednesday. Calvin's missile last two

20
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: games with an ankle injury. So if you have Calvin,

21
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: what do you do with Calvin? You know, our producer

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: Heather Pink asked me this in the meeting, and I thought,

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: you know, I look in my league for the guy

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: who's kicking, but who's the dude that's six and one

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: in fantasy Because they may be worried that they're gonna

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: have a great record, but in the playoffs they're not

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: strong enough. I deal with that guy because somebody that's

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: three and four fabs, why would they want to deal

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: for a superstar that's not playing. They need help right now.

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: They need Golden Tate, not Calvin Johnson. I wouldn't trade

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Calvin right now because once he comes back, he's going

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to be the Calvin. That's the whole point. And I

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: think he's getting closer to being back. Can listen. Calvin

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Johnson has been the number one wide receiver in fantasy

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: football for three of the last four years. Unfortunately he's

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: had this injury. But again, you still can't say trade

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: him if you're frustrated because you're not gonna get full

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: market value. Hold onto him and maybe you buy law

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: on him if anything, and on that point about the injury.

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I sat here with you, James, four or five weeks

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: ago when he was a decoy, and I asked publicly,

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: why play the guy? If the Lions have had a

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: trouble folding down the stretch the last two years, which, oh,

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: by the way, they have, why play your superstar when

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: he's not healthy. Just sit him, don't make him be

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: a decoy. Just sit him down, and he would be

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: healthy by now most likely. Very good point. On the

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, the Falcons offense has struggled

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: mightily in the last few games. Falcon's wide receiver Julio

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: Jones spoke to Jordan Babanill on nfl AM this morning

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: about the lack of offensive production. Um, it's done with me.

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta go out there and make plays

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: when they presented to me. I gotta glad day catch

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, be more of a deep threat.

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Um also, you know, and we just gotta go out

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: of keys and make sure about it. On the same page.

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Is one of two plays every game. You know, we're

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: messing up and uh defense against Sex you know, get

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the quarterback or like I said,

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: we got to misreading. We dropping balls and we have

61
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: to fix that. Is nothing that the defense is doing.

62
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: We have to fix that here. Listen, it sounds like good,

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, team spirit. They're saying it's on him, Julio Jones,

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: but isn't really on Julio Jones. I mean, the offensive

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: line has seen four counting four season ending injuries. It's

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: really not on Julio. No. In order to get the

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: ball deep, you need a seven step drop, seven step drop,

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: you need protection. And oh, by the way, opposing pass

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: rushers don't have to worry about the threat of a

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: run game because they don't have a run game. So

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: how are you supposed to get the deep ball? The

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: only thing you can do with Julio Jones right now

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: is throwing bubble screens and hope that he breaks a

74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: tackle like that play we just song video. Sure, maybe

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: you want to trade him for Jordy Nelson right now?

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Oh that would be awesome. I do that New York minute.

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: That's fun. I don't think the Jody Nelson owner would

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: though you never never know, but I doubt it. NFL

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: media d d Kickob Waller reported that Redskins head coach

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Jake Gruden would like to determine Robert Griffin the thirds

81
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: playing status for week eight after tomorrow's practice. R G

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: three has been sidelined to remember with a dislocated ankle

83
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: since week two. So if he does return, and I

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: should say when he does return, how does that impact

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: the Washington offense. Well, I think it's a good thing.

86
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: And r G three is a guy that if I

87
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: needed a quarterback, I'd pick him up. And even if

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't play this week, you sit on him, and

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: when he comes back, well, all of a sudden, you

90
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: got a guy who you can play the matchups with.

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: He did look good in that last game before he

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: heard his ankle uh and things. I think we're going

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: to turn around for r G three if I can.

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: If he comes back. Colton mccoyson me really hurts a

95
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: guy like Deshan Jackson. You know, he's got to get

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: deep downfield. I don't know if Colton McCoy could get

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: it down there right, But I think it helps Alfred

98
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: Morris because when r G three is in the game,

99
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: you have to create eleven on eleven because r G

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: three can run the ball. No one's worried about Kirk

101
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: Cousins or cult McCoy rolling out and getting twenty yards

102
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: rushing on you. Great point all right, time now to

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: welcome in the rest of our career. Let's send it

104
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: over to Molly and Marcus. Guys, James think you Molly

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Caram here alongside NFL dot Com Fantasy editor Marcus grand

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: New Marcus Molly, and we're gonna talk a little waiver

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: wire action you already. Let's start with the most ads,

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: and to be clear, these are the most ads based

109
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: on change of ownership percentages. So taking a look at

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: this board, it's just a lot of these areas out

111
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: there getting the ball more in terms of a time

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: share than the other guy. Ronnie Hillman obviously money ball

113
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: hasn't gone and much Trey Mason. We're gonna get into

114
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin, No, Percy Harvin, Chris Ivory, he's getting more

115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: than Chris Johnson there, and to Art Robinson stepping up

116
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and some of these I think maybe we need to

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: pump the brakes on because it might be a little

118
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: too soon that we're letting go. They just had a

119
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: couple of bad weeks. But let's get into Trey Mason

120
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: and to break this down, Zack Stacy didn't get the

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: ball at all. Benny Cunningham's seven touches Trey Mason seventeen. Yeah,

122
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: Tray Mason has been very effective, averaging better than five

123
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: yards per carry so far. And granted it's been unlimited

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: uplimited action so far this season, but he has looked

125
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: like the best running back there now. Jeff Fisher is

126
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: not doing us any favors. He's saying he may switch

127
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: it up. It could be Zach Stacy again, it could

128
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: be Trey Mason. But look, as long as Mason looks

129
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: as effective as he did last week against the Seahawks,

130
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: this is a guy that you want on your roster

131
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: and your plug in to play the matchup. You also

132
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: want Jerick McKinnon five point five yards per rush, second

133
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. And let's take a look at

134
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: this matchup this week. Absolutely, how how can you not

135
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: like that? And it's a similar situation to what's in St. Louis.

136
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: You have Matt ass who's kind of a big, slower

137
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: plotting running back, similar to his Zac Stacy. You've got

138
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: McKinnon who's the smaller, faster, more dynamic guy, and the

139
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: eye test shows he's the better guy, and he's gonna

140
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: get the bulk of the carry's going forward. The timeshare

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: continues in Buffalo. Now it's not with Fred Jackson and C. J. Spiller,

142
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: but Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon, and it's a similar situation.

143
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Dixon is the big, pounding fullback. Bryce Brown is the quicker,

144
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: smaller one. I think in the short term, I think

145
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: this week you'll see Dixon get the bulk of the

146
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: carry's here. He's the guy who's been playing and he's

147
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: been active, but I think going forward, Bryce Brown is

148
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the better long term play. All right, we go to

149
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham in the New York Giants. Three receiving teams

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: in his last three weeks, and of course they're on

151
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: all this week. They're want to buy this week, but

152
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity if you have the space

153
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: on your roster, pick him up, stash and get ready.

154
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: With Victor Cruz now out for the rest of the year,

155
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: Beckham is going to pick up a lot more targets

156
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: in that offense if they don't have a clear cut

157
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: number one. I mean, Ruben Randall is there, but Beckham

158
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: looks just as effective, and he's so smooth after he

159
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: gets the football in his hands. It's a guy that

160
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: you really got to have on your no question. He's

161
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: a special talent. And we can't look at the ads Marcus,

162
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: of course without looking at the drop. So here's a

163
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: look at the most drop players based on percentage. We

164
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: touched on some of these people like Zack Stacy, C. J. Spiller,

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: Andre Williams, obviously, Rashawn Jennings coming back. We mentioned Fred Jackson,

166
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Kyrie Robinson. That's an interesting one. It isn't interesting because

167
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Pierre Thomas, you were just saying is out, and uh

168
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: we know mark Ingram came back. So that's probably why

169
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: people pump the brakes there, all right, Andre Williams Giants

170
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: running back with Rashaw Jennings back, as we just mentioned, Uh,

171
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: is that why we're cutting here. That's why we're getting

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: rid of Andre Williams here. The Giants have to buy

173
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: this week and then in week nine we're expecting Rashad

174
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Jennings will be back to that game against Indianapolis. If

175
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: you have the space and you're still worried, maybe a

176
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: stash Andre Williams, But he is not a guy you're

177
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: plugging in your lineup every single week as long as

178
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Jennings is healthy. Zach Stacy, to put this in perspective,

179
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: played one snape against Seattle, so that about says a

180
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: pretty much that one zero carries, and even without Trey Mason,

181
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: Benny Cunningham was starting to cut into his work there.

182
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: It just looks like the Rams are phasing him out

183
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: of the offense, and so you should probably start phasing

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: him out of your fantasy lineup. Yeah, speaking of phasing out,

185
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: are they facing out Brian Quick too? Because six targets

186
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, You know, I don't know

187
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: they're phasing him out so much as the Rams up

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys to throw the football to, and

189
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Austin Davis, to his credit, has spread the ball around.

190
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you see it works so effectively for a

191
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: guy like Drew Breathe, and I'm not comparing Davis to Breathe,

192
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: but the fact that they have so many targets and

193
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: they get the ball to all of them means that

194
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Brian Quick will have weeks where he's not as productive.

195
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: But this week a very good matchup I think against

196
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. This is one that maybe you're playing the

197
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: matchups a little bit and you hope Brian Quick picks

198
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: it up so pretty much, they're just spreading the wealthfare

199
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: everybody eating exactly what fantasy don't want to hear. No

217
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Thanks for being with us, and guys,

218
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: were almost halfway through the season. Is that craziness right?

219
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I think so. So let's take a look at which

220
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: fantasy players have the easiest remaining schedules, and we begin

221
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,119
Speaker 1: with the men under center Elliott. How about them Cowboys?

222
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: Tony Romo in Dallas having a tremendous season, and it

223
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: looks to be a favorable schedule down the stretch. They

224
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: have Washington this week. I see Jacksonville on there. Yeah,

225
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: playing the a f C South. That's not bad, Marcus.

226
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: I know you're shocked that I would ever defend Tony Romo. Yeah,

227
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: I get it. Tony Romo is having a fantastic season.

228
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Yes, the schedule is conducive to

229
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: his success, but going beyond that, they're not relying on him,

230
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: which means that he is so effective off of play action.

231
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. I get to Marco

232
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Murray's having a great year. I get that the defensive

233
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: to Rod Marinelli has been special, but that came on

234
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Giants. Tony Romo won that game, not

235
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray, not the defense, and you look at

236
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: this schedule, the toughest matchup on there is actually Arizona.

237
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: Their secondary is very good, They're defense is very good,

238
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: and hey another one loss team. But other than Arizona,

239
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: do any of those matchups right there scare you, including

240
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: your giants? Nope, not at all. Unfortunately, I have to

241
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: hurt alright, settled down. He's had two plus past TV's

242
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: in five straight games. Know that the Cowboys are off

243
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: to a great start. We'll see how the December turns up. Okay,

244
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, though, Marcus is he's off to one of

245
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: his best starts. Actually, Fabs, let's go to you on

246
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: this one. Colin Kaepernick in terms of fantasy right, he

247
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: might have struggled a bit early on, and that looks

248
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: to continue down the stretch. Yeah, he is really played well,

249
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: especially on the road too. If you look at his

250
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: numbers on the road, they've been fantastic, and last week

251
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: he would have been better head in on bold not

252
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: dropped the past. They also had a touchdown called back

253
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: on a penalty and Kaepernick's running with the football. He's

254
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: on pace for almost six rushing yards. Guys, that is

255
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: huge for a fantasy quarterback and he's got a very

256
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: good schedule. I would trade for him right now. They're

257
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna by this week that they have St. Louis, New Orleans.

258
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: Not good against the past, Giants, not good against the past,

259
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the Redskins really bad against the past, and Seattle, I

260
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: had to say it, but not good against the past

261
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: this year, which is crazy in the trade. No, Zach

262
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: stasy got zero carries last week and try I wait,

263
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: way to try to go over my head. I'd rather

264
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: have w you're talking to You're talking to you experts

265
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: all day long. But yeah, five point three yards per rush,

266
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: third in the NFL. Colin Kaepernick has been a beast.

267
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton also doing pretty well there and fantasy and

268
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: what do you think it's gonna look like moving forward? Well,

269
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: I think Kim is going to be really good going forward,

270
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: especially because the schedule does work out. Obviously, that's what

271
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about here. But Cam has gotten a lot

272
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: better because the Panthers have allowed him to get out

273
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: of the pocket and run a little bit, and that

274
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: has opened things up for the passing game. I mean,

275
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: it certainly helps to have that big body and Kelvin

276
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Benjamin there, but now defenses have to really freeze when

277
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Cam drops back because you don't know if he's gonna

278
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: take off easy, gonna sling it over the middle to

279
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Greg Olson. Everything's fantastic, and you see that we've got

280
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the running back. He's up there. Because Cam Newton is

281
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: the leading rusher for the Carolina Panthers. Is shocking. Not

282
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: the Angela Williams or Jonathan Stewart or even Fozzy Whittaker.

283
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: It's Cam Newton because he's doing so many different things.

284
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: He is such a weapon down the stretch, even if

285
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the matchup doesn't look good because he's a dual threat guy.

286
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: And we're just showing a little appetizer of the schedule

287
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: moving forward at SATs Bucks, at Brown's Falcons well, and

288
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: the NFC South is a disaster right now, it's looking

289
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: pretty good for Superman over there, Marcus. The Browns might

290
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: have lost to the Jags, but this running game before

291
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: percent of snaps, they're running the ball here, so they

292
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: have they have a good chance to keep it going

293
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: here moving forward, especially with the schedule. Yeah, absolutely, and

294
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: this week they've got the Raiders too. That certainly helps out.

295
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Bent Tate's been fantastic and he missed a couple of

296
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: games because of injury, and that was something we feared

297
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: going into the season. But as you mentioned, Molly, the

298
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Browns are running it a lot, and part of that

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: is because Brian Horrier has had his struggles and they

300
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: certainly haven't gone to the Johnny manziel Well just yet.

301
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: But even when it was Isaiah crow Well or Terence

302
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: West or whoever it was back there, they were running

303
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: the football effectively. And now that Ben Tad his back,

304
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: he is going to be the workhorse in that offense.

305
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the schedule looks fantastic. Certainly the Falcons there,

306
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: that looks like a fantasy bonanza. If you can jump

307
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: on something like that. I like Ben take going forward.

308
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: Let's stay with the running backs here in Fab's Eddie

309
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Lacey has had four rushing tds in his last four games.

310
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Is he poised to continue these kinds of numbers. Well,

311
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: let's hope he can do better. He just hasn't been

312
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: consistent really if you look at it, he's twelfth and

313
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: fantasy before. It's some running backs right now, but people

314
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: are still going crazy because it's all or nothing so

315
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: far through the first seven weeks. And I like the

316
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: schedule moving forward in New Orleans, Chicago not good against

317
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: the run, Philadelphia, Minnesota very questionable against the run, New England.

318
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean that run defense has not been good at all.

319
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Loop at Chris ivvery just into that team. So Lacey

320
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: is a guy that I would actually buy low on

321
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: right now with that schedule in mind. Alright, guys, let's

322
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: move on from running backs to wide receivers and we

323
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: continue to another Carolina Panther in Kelvin Benjamin. He's had

324
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: sixty one targets leading the team, and you're liking Carolina schedule.

325
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I am. I didn't bring my t I AD one

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: graphic calculator, but it was a T I A D

327
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: when I came around. I understand you're definitely dating ourselves.

328
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I was just saying, though, that if Cam Newton's on

329
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: this list, well, in theory, shouldn't his number one target

330
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: be on this list. We always talk about how hard

331
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: it is for a rookie wide receiver to adjust to

332
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: the big leagues. I think Kelvin Benjamin has proven that

333
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: theory is not accurate for everybody, and in theory, he's

334
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: only going to get better as the season goes along,

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: because the game is slowing down for him. You combine

336
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: that with an excellent schedule and is it just me

337
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: or am I seeing that little Falcon's logo on every

338
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: one of these Yeah, I think that's what our research seemed.

339
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: They find the Falcons Okay, good Vikings, Jags. I'm sensing

340
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: a I'm sensing Orleans. Bill Parcel said, it is what

341
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: it is, no question, and we don't know what it is, Marcus.

342
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: When it comes to the Bengals receiving corps here, we

343
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: don't know if A. J. Green is going to be back,

344
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: but we know Mohammed Sannu should be there and they

345
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: really have a chance to finish strong. When we look

346
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: at the schedule coming up, they do. And you know,

347
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: we talk about the receiver duos in the NFL. Obviously

348
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: we look at Chicago, we look at Atlanta and what

349
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: have you. The Bengals have a really good duel that

350
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what A. J. Green can do

351
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: in Green. Maybe this is a little bit of pumping

352
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: up his teammate, but he did an a m A

353
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: on Reddit. That's that's an ask me anything for the

354
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: uninitiated there, and Mohammed Sanu is maybe the most under

355
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: received underrated receiver in the NFL, and we've seen what

356
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: he's done even without Green in the lineup. So you

357
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: get those two back together again and defenses don't know

358
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: where they're gonna go with the football. And this is

359
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: one of those weird things where you can have receivers

360
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: who have good games and Andy Dalton can still struggle.

361
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: I feel like you obviously have a J Green in

362
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: your lineup every single week, but Mohammed Sanu is a

363
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: solid wide receiver too, maybe a flex play depending on

364
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: your situation. All right, so if you own any of

365
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: these guys, you should feel pretty good moving forward, and

366
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: if not, maybe trade or pick them up if possible.

367
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: But we cover everything here, right, So we've got even

368
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: more on schedules, including which fantasy quarterback and running backs

369
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: have the most difficult remaining schedule. So you have to

370
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: check out NFL now for that one. That's on NFL

371
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: dot com slash now and they say three's a crowd. Luckily,

372
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: you have a flex spot in your lineup, so you

373
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: don't have to leave a running back or receiver on

374
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: your bench. The best week eight flex players are on

375
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: the way and need some deep sleepers to fill some holes.

376
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: In your lineup. Never fear Ranks eleven is on the

377
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: case to help steal you a much NATed victory. Sunday.

378
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: You know what it is, NFL Fantasy Life. Make sure

379
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: to join CBS NFL Network for Thursday night football. Philip

380
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Rivers and the Chargers traveled to Denver to take on

381
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and the Broncos. NFL Total Access kickoff starts

Speaker 1: pm on CBS and NFL Network. Football starts here. All right,

384
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: welcome back to NFL Fancy Line. Everybody, let's make like

385
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison in the weight room and talk about flex positions.

386
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: I did push ups today, did ye did? I've been

387
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: working out twice a week. It shows, and it shows

388
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: as well. Word your lab. Alright, So who do you

389
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: guys have as your best week eight flex plays. Fab's

390
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: glad to see you've come to the dark side. Jerick

391
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: McKinnon is the man in the fight now. He is. Listen.

392
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: It was Asiata for a few weeks and he was

393
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: the tenth best running back in fantasy. But unfortunately the

394
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: bandwagon is crashed and burned, and now Jerick McKinnon is

395
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: the guy averaging five and a half rushing yards per

396
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: game in his last four That's very, very good. The

397
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers have a lot of the most fantasy points of

398
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: running backs in the last four weeks, at about an

399
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: average of twenty nine points per game. What does that mean?

400
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Pick up McKinnon and starting this week Harrison Alright, Marcus

401
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Grant talked to me about Brandon LaFell. Well, Brandon Lafel

402
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: took him a while, it seems to get up to

403
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: speed in the Patriots offense. But before the season, Tom

404
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Brady said he liked having a big body receiver on

405
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: the outside. I mean, he's been throwing two guys like

406
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman and Danny A. Mondola. They're nice receivers, but

407
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of smurfees. So it's time to help the

408
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: NFL out there. And lately Radio has only had eyes

409
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: for him. And now they're going up against a bear

410
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: secondary that has been riddled with injuries. The best guy

411
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: right now, rookie Kyle Fuller, is dealing with a hip

412
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: pointer and a broken hand. This looks like a potential

413
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: field day for Brandon LaFell. Marcus I resembled that comment Ellar.

414
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: Embarrasson Lamar Miller has really emerged in my m oh well,

415
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: just to keep the theme going. If you're tired of

416
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: Joint Bell being the gargamell for your fantasy team, take

417
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: him out. Put in Lamar Miller. Now I get it.

418
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller's yarch per carry finally down against the Bears.

419
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The Bears and think Ryan Tannehill

420
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be able to beat them. They got proven wrong.

421
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: They stopped the run, but they weren't able to stop Tannehill.

422
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: That's good for Lamar Miller, who's been outstanding this year.

423
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he didn't get a touchdown,

424
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: had double digits again, FABS. So I would say that

425
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is a year too soon on him. Am

426
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: I even going a little highest scene might be an

427
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: RB two about Darren mcfabben, FABS, are you really Golden

428
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: Oakland Raider saying said, I don't have any smurf offerences

429
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: here to give you. I know that cat was as real,

430
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know how that would work with Darren McFadden.

431
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: But he's touches and there to go. In five straight games,

432
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: the Browns have allowed an average of a hundred fifty

433
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: point five rushing yards per game this season. That's most

434
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. They've also green up the

435
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: fourth most fantasy point. So if you needed flex play

436
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: this week, I think McFadden fits the bill. Morris George Drew.

437
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: He's not even the offense anymore. That fattens the guy

438
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: to get right now in the matchup is very very

439
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: good boat called Marcus Grant. How about Doug Baldon, He's emerged.

440
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: He has emerged, and part of it was I think

441
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: his complaints a couple of weeks ago after the loss

442
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Man he got a whole bunch of targets and a

443
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: whole bunch of chanches and a whole bunch of yards.

444
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: Last week, I think, with personally Harmon out of the offense,

445
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: Baldwin steps up and it's a good plaint, especially this week.

446
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I mean, have you seen the Panthers defense, because they haven't.

447
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: They haven't stopped anybody lately, and I think this is

448
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: going to be a high scoring affair between these two teams,

449
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: and Doug Baldwin is going to be a big recipient

450
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: of that. Hell, how about the number two of Damnas,

451
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: Terence Williams Yeah, well, I'm gonna keep it going. Guys, Well,

452
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Dez Brian and Gavin Escobar might be like the big

453
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: targets on the field. The smurfet is definitely Terence Williams.

454
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: But the key is he has the confidence of Papa Smurf,

455
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: which is Scott Lenahan, the offensive quarter of the play

456
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: caller in Dallas. Here's the thing about Terence Williams. We

457
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: just did a whole segment on remaining schedule. Correct, Tony Robol,

458
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: one of the guys we talked about Terence Williams fellas

459
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in seven games. As long as des Bryant

460
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: commands the attention he does, there's always gonna be noticed

461
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: that the little synonymous thing in all this video one

462
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: guy covering him. Notice that every one of these videos,

463
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: it's one guy on Terence Williams and a touchdown in

464
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: every home game this year. You go and he's too

465
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: looking at you. Honestly, Terence Williams is too good to

466
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: be to be guarded one on one. All right? For

467
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: flex place to sleepers, let's send it over to Adam

468
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: Rank for his Week eight sleepers. Adam, thanks, guys, it's

469
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: time for my sleepers for week eight who are ready

470
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: to help you win your fantasy matchup. Before I give

471
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: them to you, I have to ask, right now, are

472
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: you in or are you out? You're in? Right. Let's

473
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: start a quarterback position. If you're to loss, because Colin

474
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: Kaepernick is on a bi this week, allow me to

475
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: advocate Ryan Tannehill. I know this might seem like a

476
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction to him absolutely tearing up the Bear's defense,

477
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: but he's been playing rather well for a number of weeks.

478
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: Like remember when Joe Philbin was gonna bench him. My gosh,

479
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: those were the days. But he's been on fire ever since.

480
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: He's had at least two touchdown passes in three consecutive games,

481
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: and he's shown some ability as a runner too, So

482
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: that's all fun. So get him into your alignment. Let's

483
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: move on to the running back position, where many of

484
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: us are in deep barney because of injuries and other unmentionables.

485
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Don't fret though. That was the time to roll with

486
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: our guy, Jerick McKinnon. We saw this one as a paddock.

487
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: We saw this one before we even got up in

488
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: the morning, but rest assured, we called McKinnon as our

489
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: long con the moment Adrian Peterson was ruled out. Make

490
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: sure you started this week against the Box who have

491
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: allowed the seventh most fantasy points to running backs this season.

492
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: He could very well save the day for you. All Right,

493
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: you need a receiver. Let's have a little conversation about

494
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell. He's been coming on strong and weeks recent weeks.

495
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: Though he might have cold decked you against the Jets

496
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: last Thursday, Let's not talk about that. Instead, let's look

497
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: at the future and this matchup against the Bears. Chicago

498
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: has been very strong against the run, but teams have

499
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: had success against them in the air. Now that Bears.

500
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Now at the Bears top cornerback Kyle Fuller is battling

501
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: multiple injuries. I expect that Tom Brady to throw and

502
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: look for LaFell, who has become his favorite receiver. And yes,

503
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: I said d Tom Brady. Those were just three of

504
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: my sleepers for this week. If you want to see

534
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: It's timed up for in the moment presented by the

535
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Lincoln Motor Company. Y'all know. It's our version of the

536
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: two minute drill where we ripped through as many questions

537
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: as we can that hopefully help you out in setting

538
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: your roster. So we begin here with better start, Pire

539
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: Garson or Julian Edelman. I'm going Julian Edelman. That bear

540
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: secondary is just beat up right now? I agree? I

541
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: love you Julian Edelman. Yeah. Pierre Thomas tougher matchup against Dallas.

542
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the biggest disappointment of the week, guys.

543
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: I got Nick Foles in Arizona. I think that's a

544
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: tough matchup. He has not been playing well. I got

545
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Oliver short week on the road about I don't

546
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: love you all right, This one's interesting better add Bryce

547
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: Brown or Anthony Dixon. Obviously no C. J. Spiller, Fred Jackson,

548
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: So the confusion is just continuing in Buffalo's backfield. I'm

549
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: loring Rice Brown. He has the better, the more dynamic

550
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: running bag. I think everybody feels that way. I think

551
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Dixon's gonna end up getting the workload, including inside

552
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: the five. Hey now split decision. Biggest dark horse of

553
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: the week, I'm gonna go Davonte Adams. Worried about Randall Covin,

554
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, I'm gonna go Colt McCoy. I don't think

555
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be huge, but I think he's gonna quit

556
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: himself pretty well. No one expects did Lee poo from him.

557
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: You would go all right, better Stair J Cutler against

558
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: New England or Tony Romo taken on Washington. I'm going Romo.

559
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: The guy's just been on fire. Later, I think this

560
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: isn't You don't know which Cutler you're gonna get, So

561
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: go with Romo, who has been much more consistent, also

562
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: looks like he has a more favorable matchup. Who is

563
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the best matchup of the week or what is the

564
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: best match I think the one on our network and CBS,

565
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: I'd say San Diego Denver. I mean two quarterbacks playing

566
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: at m VP level. I think those are the m

567
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: v P candidates right now. Company Man, fantasy wise, I'm

568
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: going Marshawn Lynchins that Panther's defense. I think he ripped

569
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: them up. It's a good that's a good one. Like

570
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: both very interesting. Better at Train Mason taken on Kansas

571
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: City or Denard Robinson against Miami Cookies and Cream. I'm

572
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna go Denard Robinson only because I'm not worried about

573
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: the storm that was brewing or what every trade. Mason's

574
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a committee to contend with there. Yeah,

575
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: I agree. I think there's nobody behind Glennard Robinson right now.

576
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: Never rain not so much, alright, Better start Eddie Royal

577
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football taking on Denver or DeShawn Jackson

578
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football against the Cowboys. I'm gonna go. I'm

579
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna go to Sean Jackson just because he's more likely

580
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: to break a big play. I'm gonna go Eddie Royal.

581
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I think Philip Rivers is gonna look for him more

582
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: than Colt McCoy is gonna be throwing it downfield to

583
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson. Alright, good stuff, guys, we heard the bell.

584
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: We're a little slow this week. We gave out good information.

585
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I was slow because I need to move it

586
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: along faster. That was in the moment presented by the

587
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Lincoln Motor Company. Now to James and Fabs, guys, I

588
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: like how Elliott snuck in that sneaky Cark and Mill alright, listen, Molly.

589
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: So far, so far this season, we've been witnesses to

590
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: the magic that has embraced de Marco Murray. He has

591
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty one Fantasy points. The next highest

592
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: running back, Matt Forte, has a hundred and sixteen points

593
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: fabs US about a one percent difference there. But looking

594
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: at back at history, considering his usage rate right now,

595
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: can DeMarco Murray keep this up? Well? We have the

596
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: numbers from some of the running backs in the past

597
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: who have put up similar touches after seven games. And

598
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: look at James Wilder. You forget about how good he was.

599
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: Theater it out Now a couple of the guys got hurt,

600
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: Ricky Williams and Priest Homes. Now you see DeMarco in there, right,

601
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: now after seven games, the fourth most touches among running

602
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: backs in National Football League history. And look at some

603
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: of the numbers. Eric Dickerson average twenty four point four

604
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: fantasy points first seven games. Priest for two years was

605
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: unreal from a fantasy respective. Now we've got to look

606
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: back though and see what did these guys actually do

607
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: after the first seven U exactly because a lot of

608
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: people right now are saying, should I trade them? Is

609
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: it time to get rid of them? Because I'm afraid

610
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna break down. Well, let's look at the numbers

611
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of guys did see decline from

612
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: a fantasy respective, not a huge one. Outside of Eric Dickerson,

613
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: who dropped almost seven full fantasy points. James Wilder was

614
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: actually better. He was unreal in nineteen eighties Injuraser, Ricky

615
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: Williams and Priest told us both got hurt. Now a

616
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of people say DeMarco Murray is injury prone. I

617
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's injury prone. He played fourteen games last year,

618
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: he's played seven games, and he's had a lot of

619
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: carries so far this season. So to me, DeMarco Murray

620
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: is a guy who can continue this pace. Maybe he

621
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: doesn't average the same number of Fantasy points. But if

622
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: you're giving me something like seventeen eighteen fantasy points a

623
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: game from running back, and that's a decline from your

624
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: first seven games, I'm still happy about that short, no doubt.

625
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: And you know, and the touches don't necessarily mean fantasy

626
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: points either. I mean, you know, you look at Ricky Williams,

627
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: he's on this list thirteen points per game. Didn't see

628
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: it's not he didn't see a drop off, but thirteen

629
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: points not that great. But DeMarco Murray right now, in

630
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: that tremendous Dallas offense, he's poised to at least the

631
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: coin to the numbers continue his dominant plug. And there

632
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: are other running backs that we can't fit on this board,

633
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: like John Riggins when he was thirty four, he was

634
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: averaging a ton of Fantasy points in his first seven games,

635
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: and he went up. He was averaging like twenty four

636
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: points a game in the last nine games. So it

637
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: can rise, it doesn't doesn't just fall across the board.

638
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: And this shows it. All Right, let's talk about some

639
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: other high profile running backs of this year. If you

640
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: take a look, Arian Foster is gonna be on this list.

641
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy is gonna be on this list. So many

642
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: more touches and nine touches so far on the year.

643
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: And again, it's interesting to me because DeMarco Murray Matt

644
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: fourteen number one two in terms of running back scoring

645
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: and they are number one two in terms of running

646
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: back touches as well. But hey, listen, Arian Foster, a

647
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: lot of folks pecked him to be a potential bus

648
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: this year, but he's been playing really well. I was

649
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: afraid of very in Frost. I wouldn't have drafted him

650
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: in the first round because he was coming off the

651
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: surgery and he's also had that hamstring. But he has

652
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: looked great. And I'll tell you something right now, this

653
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: is when I would sell high on him interest and

654
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: I would try to get as much as I could

655
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: for Arian Foster because I worry that he's not gonna

656
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: be able to keep up this level of touches, because

657
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: that is an absolute boatload for a guy coming up

658
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: a back surgery, who's got hamstering issues and he's twenty

659
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: eight years old. How about Shandy McCoy, The lack of

660
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns really hurting his overall fantasy production currently twenty six

661
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: among fantasy running backs, but he still had the touches

662
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: and even with Darren Sprowls there, he is still seeing touches,

663
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: not on pace to have what he did last year.

664
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that I would actually buy

665
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: low on because people are frustrated with him, Well, go

666
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: out and get Lashan McCoy. He is young, he is

667
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: going to turn it around, and this offense is conducive

668
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: for fantasy football production. And McCoy is a guy that

669
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: last year was one of the top running backs based

670
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: on fantasy points. So if somebody is frustrated with McCoy,

671
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: go out and trade for him. Right now, I can

672
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: definitely see Lashawn McCoy busting out in the second half

673
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: and having a huge year. All right, It's almost that

674
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: time of the week, though, ladies and gentlemen. The guru,

675
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: the man sit down next to me, Michael Fabiano is

676
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: here to help you navigate your lineup with his stardoms

677
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: and sydhoms for a week eight and the Lions and

678
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: Falcons take center stage in London. But which players will

679
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: shine the brightest in the international spotlight? Our experts have

680
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: the answers coming up. You're watching NFL Fancy Live. Welcome

681
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live. It's Wednesday, so that means

682
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: the fabulous one Michael Fabiano is here with his weekly

683
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: start him and sit um players for a week eight.

684
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Make sure to check out all of his starts and

685
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: sits by go to the website NFL dot com Slash

686
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: Start sit. All right, Mike, let's hit the ground running.

687
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those running backs. We'll start with Ben

688
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: Ta starter sit. Let's do it. I am starting Ben

689
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: this week. Now. I know last week you didn't have

690
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: a good game. He had a good matchup, did not execute,

691
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: but I still like him against the Oakland Raiders. Take

692
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: has been great. He's averaging almost six yards to carry.

693
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. The Raiders have allowed the second most fantasy

694
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: points to running backs this season, at about a clip

695
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: of twenty four point six points per game. So forget

696
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: last week, get on the inn tape bandwagon this week

697
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: and start him against the Raiders. Another running back, I'm

698
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: starting Joike Bell and it's not because I'd like to

699
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: say the name Joike. Oh yeah, I do like to

700
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: say the name, But I do love this matchup against Atlanta.

701
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: The Foxs have getting up the most fantasy points of

702
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: running backs. They've given up the most touchdowns the running backs.

703
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: They've given up seven rushing touchdowns in their last four

704
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: weeks to the running back position. Remember this game is

705
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: in London, it's overseas, so set your line up. This

706
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: game starts at nine thirty Eastern, six Pacific, so make

707
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: sure you get joy Bell int your lineup on Saturday

708
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: night or really early on Sunday mornings. I got that

709
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: I'm sitting this week, and this could be a surprise

710
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Is Brandon Oliver? You know,

711
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: he's been great last week, scored fewer than eight fantasy points.

712
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: The Chargers have one rushing touchdown and their last three

713
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: road games against the Broncos. The Broncos have also allowed

714
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown in their last three games and the

715
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: fourth fewest fantasy points to running backs in the last

716
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: four weeks. Oliver to me is a risk reward flex

717
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: this week. And that's it, all right, old call I

718
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: like it, Mike, All right, let's take a look at

719
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: the rest of you are starting to sit players for

720
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: Week eight? Uh Andrea Ellington with a nice little match

721
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: up against Philadelphia as well, and he tabs on his

722
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: sore ribs, but he should be fine. And how about

723
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: Gernard Robinson, a hot waiver wire add a sit versus

724
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: a very tough Miami defense as well. All Right, I

725
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: about wide receivers. Will start with Michael Floyd in Arizona.

726
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: The yardage really hasn't been there, Mike, But man, the

727
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in two straight weeks. Does that trend continue? Yeah? Absolutely,

728
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: I do think he does get into the end zone again.

729
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: Forty seven yards a touchdown, a ten point seven fantasy

730
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: points in two straight games. How's that for consistency? And

731
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: in the three games that Carson Palmer has started James,

732
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: he has scored double digit fantasy points in every single game.

733
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: The East Stuff have allowed the six most fantasy points

734
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: to wide receivers thirteen receiving touchdowns allowed this season. That's

735
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: fifth in the National Football League. So if you've got Floyd,

736
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: start him. Dare I say he's the best fantasy receiver

737
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: in Arizona right now? Another wide receiver I'm starting is

738
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin. I like the match up a whole heck

739
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: of a lot against the Carolina Panthers. They've given up

740
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: sixteen receiving touchdowns and their last six road games and

741
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: the fourth most fantasy points to wide receivers overall, including

742
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: the last four weeks where they have given up the

743
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to wide receivers, and Baldwin had eleven

744
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: targets last week. Clearly, personal harmen is out, Baldwin is

745
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: in stardom. A guy that I'm not starting this week

746
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: de Shan Jackson. I know a lot of people have

747
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: to start this guy, but this is a bad match

748
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: up against the Cowboys. Jackson has one touchdown in ten

749
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: career games against Dallas, sixty close receiving yards once in

750
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: his last five games against the Cowboys, and the Boys

751
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: have allowed one receiving touchdown in their last three games

752
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. All of this says temper expectations or

753
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: sit to Sean Jackson, can you believe would you have

754
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: ever thought you would have said sit this guy versus

755
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? It's amazing. All right, Let's say a look

756
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: at you some of your all the starting to sitting

757
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers for week A. Terence Williams versus the afour

758
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: mentioned Washington Redskins scored a start in every game in

759
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: Dallas this year and then how about Roddy White, a

760
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: big name on that sit list. I know he had

761
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: a big game last week, but he's been really inconsistent

762
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: this year. And the Lions have one of the best

763
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL, So Roddy White sit him down.

764
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has to stay up for Roddy White for

765
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: Roddy White to get that ball. But we'll talk about

766
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks now. How about Ryan Tannehill. Not the most marquee

767
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: name out there, but he's strowing two touchdowns and four

768
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: of his last six games. It's pretty good. He's got

769
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: a very buttery matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Bottery.

770
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means it's a slippery matchup

771
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: or what it is, but it's take a very good matchup.

772
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: But I'm not a big fan of butter so but

773
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: I do like this match up a whole lot against

774
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They've given up almost three hundred passing yards

775
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: per game this season, that second most in the National

776
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: Football League. And Tennell has been really good, as you mentioned,

777
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: twenty one Fantasy points in his last four weeks. That

778
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: has been very very productive. Sixth most month quarterbacks in

779
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: that time. And I know he's not Dan Marino and

780
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be one of the greatest quarterbacks in fantasy.

781
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: But he's a matchup based starter. And if you have

782
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick this week, well Ryan Tannehill, you can pick

783
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: him off the waiver wire and start him. This weekend,

784
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tony Romo. Elliott Harrison's boy. I think

785
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: Harrison is actually Romo's agent, he just doesn't like to

786
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: tell us. But you know what, I love Romo too

787
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: because I'm a Cowboys homer. And I'm going with Tony

788
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: this week on Monday Night Football against the Redskins. Eleven

789
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in his last five games against Washington. Washington

790
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: is allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks in

791
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. Fifteen passing touchdowns allowed as well,

792
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: that second most in the National Football League. So start

793
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: Tony Romeo this week because the matchup is very, very good.

794
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: A guy I'm sitting Nick Foles now. He had two

795
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: picks all of last year. He's had two picks in

796
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: a couple of games this season. Ten point six fantasy

797
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: points per game in his last three that's not good.

798
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: Three touchdowns, four turnal vers in his last four road games,

799
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals have given up the fifth viewest fantasy

800
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks in the last two weeks. Foles has

801
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: not been what we expected him to be this year,

802
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: especially after year broke out in two thousand and thirteen.

803
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: So right now, I'd start Tannehill over Nick Foles. I

804
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: would start Carson Palmer over Nick Foles. Interesting stuff. Let's

805
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of your start sit

806
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks four Week eight. Russell Wilson obviously a must start

807
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: at this point, taking on the Carolina Panthers, and then

808
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. As we mentioned a sit versus details, He's

809
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: not on the road, He's at home this week, but

810
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: it's in London. It's the Georgia domen He needs to

811
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: sit in the Detroit Lions. My good, as Larry David

812
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: would say, they're pritty good. All right, there you go.

Speaker 1: But if you want more exclusive start set videos, including

829
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: on this game. Yes it is. We had across the

830
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: pond to my guys Steve Life and Jordan Babineau. Thanks

831
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: a lot, Molly ur bab You know, we look at

832
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: this game and we look at the wide receivers Calvin Johnson,

833
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Roddy White. But let's look at the running

834
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: backs and for Detroit, Reggie Bush has been kind of

835
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: nicked up. Joey Belsman, the guy who is in his

836
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: show and shouldn't be a show. When Joey Bill has

837
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, each of the last ball games. But

838
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: I tell you what, something you look for is the

839
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: matchup that the Atlanta Falcons linebackers will have against Reggie Bush.

840
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: He comes into this game as the number two receptions

841
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: leader for the Detroit Lion. A favorable matchup against a

842
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: questionable linebacking corps for the for the Atlanta Falcons. Or

843
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: let's flip it, the Atlanta Falcons run game one of

844
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL. Stephen Jackson really hasn't been producing.

845
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Is Anton Smith the guy we should be looking at? Well,

846
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: they had. There hasn't been a hundred yard rusher all

847
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: year for this team. And I tell you what. Much

848
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: of it is probably a tribute to the fact that

849
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: these guys have been heard up front. But I tell

850
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: you what, if they want to control the ball game

851
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: and control the time of position, they have got to

852
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: find a way to run the ball a lot better

853
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: versus this tough Detroit line. Yeah, that that's gonna be

854
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: very tough. Lines were the best in the NFL in

855
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: the rushing defense. Back to you, Babs and Steve, two

856
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: of my favorites, two of your favorites. What about us?

857
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: Oh you got you guys? Come on your family you

858
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: don't even count. I said, I see you guys all

859
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: the time. It's it's a different deal. But it's good

860
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: to see them here on the show. I'm sure they're

861
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: enjoying some fish and ships, no doubt about it. Elliot Harrison,

862
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: you hear you. You heard about the run game in

863
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: that matchup. What do you see there? Well, I mean,

864
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: the run game for Detroit has been a disappointment all season.

865
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You know, people are worried about

866
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: this London game. They're worried that the points are gonna

867
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: be suppressed. Just treat this like any other matchup. That's

868
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: really what you need to do. People were worried about

869
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offense, talking about benching Ryan Tannehill. Then they

870
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: go into Oakland where they put up thirty eight points

871
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: on offense. You play your matchups like you always would

872
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: in history shows that the points are around the same

873
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: in the same ballpark as a normal game. Fab Let's

874
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: talk about Maddy ice Man. His numbers have been basically

875
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: nose diving since Week three. He scored less Fantasy points

876
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: each and every week following Week three. Very tough defense

877
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: in the Detroit lines. What can we expect from a

878
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. First off, I got the ball back from

879
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: YouTube that Ryan is a guy that I don't care

880
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: where he's playing. This is a home game for Atlanta,

881
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: but really it's a neutral site game. It's on the

882
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: road for the most part. And when he is not

883
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: playing in the Georgia Dome, he is ridiculously inconsistent. In fact,

884
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: if he is consistent at all, it's consistently bad. So

885
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is someone not I am benching. He has been.

886
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's not how you start, how

887
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: you finished? Yeah, you're finished, very true, true true. How

888
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: about Julio Jones? Is he gonna return to form? I'm

889
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: not seeing it this week. You know part of his

890
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: as Elliot said, because of the matchups you're you're going

891
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: against that Lion secondary. That's gonna be a problem. Another

892
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: thing that you know Elliot mentioned at the start of

893
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: the show is the Lion. The offensive line for the

894
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: Falcons has been such a mess this year, and it's

895
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna be so hard to protect Matt Ryan, especially against

896
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: a very tough pass rush like the Lions have. It's

897
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: just gonna make it hard for Jones to get downfield

898
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: and get the football in his hands. There will be

899
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: better weeks coming for Julio Jones. This isn't one. You

900
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: can't bench him though, You've got to just you just

901
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: expect lower numbers this week, right, all right? So how

902
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: about Matthew Stafford. What should we expect from the Detroit quarterback?

903
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Elliott Well, I don't think that bat Stafford's really been

904
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: killing it either. Now, he had the nice comeback against

905
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: the Saints. He did it when the chips were down.

906
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: To give him a lot of credit for that, but

907
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: holy cat, what a match up against Exactly. It's just

908
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: about to say, look, let's just put the whole Calvin

909
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Johnson debacle aside. I think you'll be able to make

910
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Hay with the other players on the team. Now, do

911
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: I see Matt Stafford having that monster game where he

912
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: has twenty three points? No? But can he give you

913
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: a viable sixteen to eighteen? You bet, because I think

914
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 1: the running game will work and he can make plays

915
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:28,440
