Yeah? 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.560 This yes, the Fantasy Best Friends Forever here on the 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.920 Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside for Frankie Standfell, I am 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:13.280 Gran's about Gregg Not too much man. Here we are 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.399 first round of the Fantasy Football Playoff LAFFS. Great game 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.240 last night, not really gosh, so much hope for Colt 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.080 McCoy and we get down the drain, we get the Sanchi. 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.800 Poor Greg Martinez a long time listener and watching of 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.479 the show. You know he's a big, big Washington fan. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.760 But yeah, once you see the Sanchis get in the game, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.880 season is pretty much uh, pretty much down the drain. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.559 Adrian Peterson though, ninety yard touchdown. That was fun to watch. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.160 I will say watching him run down the field, it 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.400 looked like he was struggling, like he wasn't running like 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.760 a normally, like he had like these long strides. I mean, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.720 it's classic Adrian Peterson. You know what's crazy is like 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.440 he just continues to do things that he's never done before, 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.840 Like this is a Hall of famefl running egg and 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.640 he's never had a ninety yard rushing touchdown before. But 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.200 then he does it when he's thirty three years old. Crazy, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.760 It's crazy. And then his other eight carriers went for 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.360 eight yards. That's why I didn't think our decision was 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.680 wrong to bench him. Yeah, so we benched Adrian Peterson 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.880 in the league going up against the Eagles, and you know, 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.840 I'm sure a lot of people bench Adrian Peterson. He 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.919 has been banged up, he's been up and down this year. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.720 I don't think the thinking was wrong. I think with 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.239 the Eagles, you see the past couple of weeks, like 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.160 also like going back to last year, they've been very 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.760 stout against the run. But the past couple of weeks 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.520 they were getting beat up by running backs, but they 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.360 were facing really good running backs. It was like the 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:41.359 Saints guys and Ezekiel Elliott. So the logic was, all right, 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.919 maybe the Eagles have just been facing really good running backs. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.360 Maybe their defense isn't as bad. Right, let you go 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.760 ahead and give up that ninety yard touchdowns to uh 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.120 Adrian Peterson. Maybe the Eagles defense is a little bit 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.000 more vulnerable to running backs than we thought. Not that 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.360 it matters because this week they're facing Ezekiel Elliott against 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.520 so you feel great about him no matter what great 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.200 anything else from this game really Golden Tate, Golden Tateldon Tate, 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.360 Golden Tate finally arrived in Philadelphia last night, catching touchdown, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.160 leading this team in receiving. Don Petterson said after the game, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.360 we had a lot of weapons and it has been 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.960 tough getting all the football because there's only one football. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.480 That doesn't feel good for the Golden Tate owners, for 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.000 the Alshon Jeffrey owners. Certainly if there's any Nelson Aghlor 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.160 owners left, it doesn't feel great. Yeah, in the leagues 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.640 out there, Nelson Agilor owners great, um, But yeah, we 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.760 had Golden Tate. Also, Frank, we didn't start him when 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.560 you really consider even starting him. Uh So, it makes 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.320 it makes for a tough decision going forward for Eagles 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.320 fans and people that own Eagles. Yeah, and I tweeted 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.160 about this last night too. I think we're getting closer 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.320 to that point where, all right, it's taken a few 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.600 weeks now, but three straight games of at least seven 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.600 targets for Golden Tate, I think he's getting back to 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.480 that high end wide receiver three status for PPR leagues. 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.440 And I know in his heyday with the Detroit Lions, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.320 I mean, this was a rock solid wide receiver two 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.320 for PPR. I don't know that he ever gets back 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.400 there because the target share will never be what it 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.000 was when he was in Detroit. Mind you, he's entering 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.880 free agency in the all season, so we're pretty much 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.120 looking at like down the stretch here for for the 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.960 fantasy playoffs, which is obviously what matters most right now. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.839 But yeah, three straight games of at least seven targets. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.200 He caught all seven yesterday. He also had a touchdown 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.160 which came which came on a broken play. To look 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.440 at the target and the target share in the four 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.320 games since Golden Tate has come over Zach Earth's obviously 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.840 target monster thirty six targets of the target share, Golden 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.640 Tate twenty six targets, so ten targets less than Earth's 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.920 eighteen percent of the target share, and then Alshon Jeffrey 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.720 five less targets fifteen percent of the target share. I mean, 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.960 I said that, I said this about Alshon Jeffrey last week, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.360 and it's even more evident now, like his fantasy value 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.159 is completely down the tubes. Washington was a team that 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.800 has allowed at least one touchdown to a wide receiver, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.200 which seems like every single week this season. I thought 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.000 maybe there was a chancel, was holding out a little 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.360 bit hope for Alshon Jeffrey, still had him ranked inside 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.320 of my top thirty six. But I think you can 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.360 completely get off him at this point, Greg, Yeah, I agree. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.680 It's you cannot start this guy anymore. And Golden Tate 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.679 and the Eagle's offense in general have stopped that from happening. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.200 Alshaw Jeffrey wasn't somebody I want to come into the year. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.040 Then I was upset I didn't have him, and now 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.080 it's come full circle or one thing to do with them. Yeah, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.679 and then for the running backs for the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.799 It wasn't this huge game that you know, we all thought, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.320 Josh Adams. If he scores the touchdown to Darren Sprowles 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.120 gets them, we're looking at much better game the kind 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.400 of touchdown. But Greg I did a little digging here, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.280 and for what it's worth, though Peterson has been the 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.800 head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles since that's almost about 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.000 three seasons now, we have a pretty big sample size. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.040 This is the first time in his tenure that an 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.240 Eagle's running back has had twenty carries and back to 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.719 back games and that comes with Josh Adams. And I 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.240 tweeted that out last night as well, Drink and some 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.120 people hit me up saying, well, you know what, he's 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.200 not using the past game. I don't you know what 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.240 do we do with twenty carries If he's not scoring 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.760 touchdowns and he's not h he's not being used in 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.720 the past game, which I think is a fair point. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.920 You know you're playing standard or even a half point 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.159 PPR because the touchdown and getting a lot of carries 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.360 still matters a lot in half PPR. Um, Josh Adams, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.279 you feel good about this if you feel you're gaining 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.960 that trust obviously. And I was very critical of Eagles 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.720 running backs and Doug Peterson in the past, but back 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.200 to back games with twenty carries eighty five yards up 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.599 over four yards per carry, the trust is there between 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.880 Doug Peterson and Josh Adams. Again, if he scores that 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.200 touchdown that Darren's Prowls scores, we feel a lot better 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.400 about him today. But given the fact that he's being 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.200 used this much, did you get twenty carries, you're gonna 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.159 pop off the eventtional uh, eventual long run and touchdowns. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.840 So Josh Adams he's in that mid range RB two 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.200 range as well. In PPR he's probably more of a 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.960 flex because he's not used much in the past game. Yeah, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.400 you know, the fact is you get twenty carries. I 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.520 understand he's not in a PPR. You don't really want 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.719 to use him. And it's annoying. You're giving a you're 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.200 putting a guy in your letter. It's twenty carries on 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.760 an offense that don't score the football. Good things are 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.520 going to happen ultimately, and you have Darren's brow is annoying, 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.960 quey clements annoying, But get me I'm in the playoffs, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.560 and it's hard out there finding a running back. I mean, 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.560 it's giving you carries. It's hard in the fact that 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.000 I know this guy is gonna get a I don't 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.000 want twenty carries, you tho, he's one the last two weeks, 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.840 fifteen or twenty carries guaranteed a chance of the end zone. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.040 I'm starting him. I'm starting Hi new questions asked. He's 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.400 at least a low end r B two and what 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.200 I said about Peyton Barber, and it's gross. You know, 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.760 Peyton Barber is kind of like the poor man's Josh 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.400 Adams right now because he's getting a lot of carries. 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.120 And that's what I said about him last week. You 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.400 don't want to start Peyton Barber, but he's their goal 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.600 line back and he's getting fifteen to twenty carries. So 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.280 it's just it's hard to find running backs that are 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.200 gonna get much work right now. So you just you 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.920 just gotta keep that in mind anything else in this game. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.400 I mean, zach ertz Um, he he broke a record 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.840 last night, right, I think I retweeted it. Let's see 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.600 for zach ertz Um has ninety two receptions this season 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.120 and counting. Arts has broken Brian Westbrook's record for most 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.760 receptions in a single season in Eagles franchise history. Nice. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.160 That was ninety that was set by Brian Winston, which 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.400 is also crazy because that's a running back. But ninety 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.280 two receptions and counting for Zach Er, it's just having 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.840 a historic season. I haven't one of my keeper leagues. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.520 I keep him for a fourth round next year. If 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.360 you have them in keeper dynasty, you don't have to 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.400 worry about drafting. Must be nice. Indeed, do not have 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.480 to worry about the tight end position. Hey, the playoffs 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.600 are here, Frankie, how did you do? How did you? 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.680 How did you come out here? So I think, here 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.600 you go. I have my little for people don't who 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.480 don't know this. I have like a post it note 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.080 on my every football and baseball season to remind me 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.000 of all my waivers because it's very annoying to to 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.480 figure this out. N FFC, NFC cut line, atrocious team 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.000 so bad, like I drafted Todd Gurley. I have some news. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.880 Terrible terrible team. Greg I'll throw a de my Tom 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.800 is anounced. James Conner is out this week for the 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.480 Pittsburgh Steelers, which means it will be all about Jalen 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.560 Samuel and Stephen Ridley. I'm very interesting to hear about 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.160 your teams. But we got into the breaking news Connors 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.200 out this week, which means we had another running back 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.640 that is going to be available on waiver wires potentially 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.920 and it's going to make huge news against Yeah. Absolutely 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.120 pretty good match up here against Oakland as well, a 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.319 defense that is not scaring many people. We just saw 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.760 Spencer where score a touchdown against them a week ago. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.040 So James Connor ruled out, and I think that was 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.559 kind of the mindset all along. I know that they 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.440 said it was like a leg contusion and ankle contusion, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.240 like we didn't know what it was, but the guy 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.920 was limping off the field, he was getting helped off 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.480 the field and had to go for an X ray 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.240 or m r I right away. So whenever you see 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.920 stuff like that, it instantly like sets off a light 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.040 bulb in your head. But I don't understand greg Is 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.560 and I spoke about this yesterday. When it comes to handcuffs, 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.640 James Connor is owned obviously, no doubt about it. Dyllen 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:58.720 Samuel's gets his ownership percentage greg four PC four teen percent. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.520 I was James Connor owning a hundred percent of leagues 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.200 and Jalen Samuels is only owned in fourteen percent of leagues. Now, 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.559 I look up Stephen Ridley because maybe you know, people 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.719 think that Ridley is the guy. But we just saw 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.920 Jalen Samuel's come In the past two times that James 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.920 Conner has had to leave a game, Jalen Samuels has 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.360 stepped in and scored a receiving touchdown. So he's not 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.640 your typical running back. He played like tight end, like 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.000 h back in college. And for those who play in 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.280 Yahoo leagues, I mean, look, you lost Greg Olsen. Tight 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.080 End is a terrible position every single week. Jalen Samuel's 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.160 has tight end eligibility on Yahoo, so unbelieving. He is 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.200 undoubtedly your number one AD this week, even if he 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.440 only plays for one week. With James Conner out here, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.720 I mean, that's the first round of your fantasy playoffs, 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.320 or if you're playing a ten team league, you're still 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.360 fighting to get in. So Jalen Samuels I think obviously 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:48.960 climbs to the top. Here. We'll talk about some other 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.360 running backs and quarterbacks and wide receivers as well. Stephen 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.800 Ridley only owned in one percent of leagues. That's the thing, right, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.719 what this week? You know it's gonna be Samuels. You 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.680 know it's gonna Stephen Ridley. Are you gonna play Samuels? 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.319 And then Ridley's always on the goal line. I was 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.199 gonna suck, like it's so early to talk about running 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.240 back and wide receiver ranks is obviously you don't have 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.200 them done yet, Frankie. But people are gonna ask, do 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.520 I start Jalen Samuels this week? Do I start Jeff 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.880 Wilson's week? Who would you rather start Wilson or Samuel's? 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.240 Who's the preferred ad? What do you do? What? What 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.679 is the answer to that question? Who would you rather 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.200 have Jeff Wilson or Jalen Samuel's. Well, I think it's 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.880 a good question because we already got and this is 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.040 a big newsday already, right like Tuesday. But you don't 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.040 normally get guys getting ruled out on a Tuesday already. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.440 That's already happened for James Conner, It's already happened for 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.880 Matt Brita. Matt Brida, I was a little bit worried 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.200 I spoke about this yesterday as well. He's the guy 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.160 who doesn't need to practice to play. We've seen that 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.640 all throughout the year, Like the guy will randomly pop 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.760 up on Friday after not practicing at all, with a 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.040 limited practice and then end up playing. He's already been 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.880 ruled out. So based on what jeff Wilson just did 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.560 this past week, both on the ground and in the 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.360 past game, I think, let me let me retract myself 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.640 because I said, Jalen Samuel's automatically jumps to the top. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.000 If you're a James Conner owner, absolutely he jumps to 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.079 the top. You play on Yahoo, you need a tight end, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.440 Jalen tam You jumps to the top. If you're in 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.320 your random league where Jalen Samuels is not tight end 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.360 eligible and you just need a running back for one 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.560 week or I mean even down the stretch, Jeff Wilson 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.480 doesn't have anybody else wilds away from so disagrees. But 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.319 Alfred Morris didn't do anything last week. Greg he was 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.760 an active last week, much like Stephen Ridley was it. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.440 But but he was an active for a reason. Like 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.040 they clearly like Jeffrey Wilson more than they like, and 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.360 they like Jaylen Samuels more than like Stephen Ridley. It's 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.199 the same situation also promoted Trey Edmunds today, another running 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.440 back from the practice squad, So you're maybe looking at 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.840 one of three. Now. I still do think Jalen Samuel's 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.360 is the guy, and I'm not going to back off 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.880 of that. But Jeff Wilson verse, I mean, what do 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.280 they have to gain from playing Alfred Morris at least 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.760 right now? I played Jeff Wilson undrafted free agent. He's 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.480 a rookie. You see what you're having The kid down 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.600 didn't go to Maryland, Alfred more, he did not go 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.679 to Maryland. See Greg's just trying to take credit for 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.719 everything nowadays. He did not go to Maryland. He's not 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.680 a term Alfred Morris. Know who he is at this point. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.760 He's a journeyman running back. He doesn't have a future 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.520 with this team next year. It's likely Jerick McKinnon and 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.920 Matt Breed anyway splitting duties. Maybe Jeff Wilson. You know, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.199 they want to see what they have in kid. He's 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.959 a undrafted free agent. He's one of two, whereas potentially 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.440 Jalen Samuels is one of three, maybe one of two 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.400 and a half. Ish. I think that Jeff Wilson, based 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.280 on what we saw this past week, it's more of 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.240 a lock for fifteen plus touches. You can't at this 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.079 time of the year, certainly the first round of the playoffs, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.719 you can't worry about week. I'm not worrying when it 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.520 comes to these guys about weeks exactly when we get 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.840 a time and the one thing he left out here, Frank, 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.480 Jalen Samuel and the Steelers are in Oakland. The Phony 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:37.160 Niners were terrible, are home against Denver, who have been 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.480 better against the run. They were they got shredded by 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.760 like Isaiah crow Well back in whatever it was we 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.720 four or five. But they've been much different team he's been. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.960 They've been much better. But that's where you start to 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.680 weigh out, right, like Jalen Samuel splitting time with Stephen 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.080 Ridley against Oakland in a plus matchup, does that outweigh 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.480 the fact that Jeff Wilson I expect him to get 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.319 the majar of the workload here fifteen plus touches guaranteed, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.400 whereas it's not as good of a matchup against Oakland. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.880 Do you take the workload or do you take You know, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.679 it's you gotta weigh these things. I mean you can 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.640 pretty much put them on the we can put them 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.480 on scales healing scales here and see which one we 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.400 like more so. Steelers um better offensive line, and you 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.120 know the forty Niners have a great offensive line this 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.480 year as well, which has gone under the radar. Steelers 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.520 one of the best offensive lines. Better offense overall, but 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.240 he's gonna be splitting work versus. Jeff Wilson, more of 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.880 a lock to get touches. Tougher matchup against Denver Um. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.320 You do like the Kyle Shanahan running back system, so 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.680 you know it's pretty close when you when you weigh 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.960 these things out, the pros and cons of both running backs, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.760 I think those are your one and two priority ads. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.120 This week. We're trying, you know, everyone's trying to find 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.080 running backs. You know, you could have made it. You 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.480 could have made it to the playoffs here going uh 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.640 wide receiver early. You could have gone zero RB. And 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.800 you know you're you've been trying to find running backs 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.200 all year and here we are where you know, all 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.840 the year we've been struggling to find running backs. Off 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.560 waiver wire and it's week fourteen and we have two 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.240 great running back pick up. It's crazy. And in my 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.320 home league, for instance, I have my running backs or 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.920 outside of take On Barkley or Josh Adams and Kennyan Drake. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.000 That's it, and my other like one of my flexes 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.280 will be like Calvin Ridley or Doug Baldwin or something 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:23.120 like that. I'd like Jaylen Samuel's iould like Jeff Wilson. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.360 you know those guys, aren't you. Of course I am 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.800 versus you know, like you asked me this downstairs, and 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.360 you know I give you the standard answer that I 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.000 would give anyone who calls it. I would. I would 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.680 give them the answer to it's too early for starts. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.840 It is, I mean, regardless, I think you take a 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.000 stab on those like Calvin Ridley has been very up 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.800 and down. It's a pretty good matchup against the Green 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.840 Bay Packers. And then you've got Kenyan Drake. Nobody knows 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.520 what you're getting from Kenyan Drake going up against the Patriots. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.680 Who this is when it's very frustrating, kind of like 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.080 deja vu, though, No, this is frustrating when I don't 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.080 have now that I don't have money. This is this 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.320 is frustrating. I have no I have no money left 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.480 in a lot of my leagues either, greg Um. And 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.680 that's why I like, you, know you want to save 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.200 some fab going into the playoffs. Have thirteen knowledge it's 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.800 not gonna get me anywhere unfortunately, because I mean other 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.360 teams in my league have forty plus last were in 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.720 the playoffs. Yeah, you's top three teams in front of me. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.440 Actually legitimately have a doughnut. I have thirteen, which I 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:16.960 thought was enough to play the rest of my three 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.840 dollars on Josh Docs, which look, I'm still stand by. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.480 I think you would have been solid with Colton McCoy, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.040 but that ship has now sailed, greg Um. So yeah, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.440 here we are, Ricky News heading into UH week fourteen. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.280 No James Conner going up against the Oakland Raiders. Let's 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.160 just see what the Oakland Raiders have been doing against 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.880 running backs on the season. They're allowing a hundred and 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:45.840 thirty yards per game running backs number one in the 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:51.040 NFL allowed five point one zero yards per carry to 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.480 running backs on the season. That is tied for third. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.320 This is a premo matchup for Janalen Samuel's this week. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.800 I didn't you know, some people we're gonna some people 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.080 are gonna bring up, bring up Trey Edmonds as well, 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.639 because this is a guy who got a little bit 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.879 of UH. We've got a little bit of hype in 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.879 the in the preseason as well, so trade like, I 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.359 think there's three guys here. I don't think. I don't 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.200 have I don't have a lot of faith in UH 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.200 and Stephen Ridley. To be honest, Greg, I think Janeen 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.840 Samuels is a guy. In the two games where James 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.760 Conner left um, he stepped in and he scored receiving 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.360 touchdown in both of those games. So that's a little 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.480 bit of a touch on the running back position. We 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.480 got a few other running backs that we'll talk about. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.840 Chris Carson comes out today dealing with the dislocated finger. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.040 They expect him to play, they expect him to be 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.440 good to go. Obviously, we'll talk about Josh Allen. We 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.080 still have Justin Jackson to talk about. Only forty seven 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.920 percent and facing Cincinnati, we have, you know, we have 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.320 legit running backs here and be fourteen. It's crazy time, 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.359 crazy crazy, crazy time, and there's more than just Jeff 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.040 Wilson and Jalen Samuels will talking about those guys where 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:59.840 we come back on the Fantasy best Friends Forever.
