1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Wow, what is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Quickball Show. It's been your man, nam G. Marcus Grants,

3
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like neo in the matrix.

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: We have a cast of dozens on the other side

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: of the glass. There, we got producer Justin. We have

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: all the specialist Hi, Christy s you wait over there,

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: and of course here to my left is the one

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: and only Michael f Florio. How's the wrist man? Uh?

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: Not great? Mobilized. It makes typing and and doing anything

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: in life really more difficult because I'm right handed, but

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting through it. How how are you today? Good?

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: I know you're feeling good today. I'm feeling better because

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers lived to fight at least one more. Uh yeah,

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: my my, my weekday nights. The last couple of days

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: have been a little bit stressful. But apparently the Dodgers

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: need to score no runs or all of the runs.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: So if they can get on the board on Thursday

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: against the Giants, then maybe they have a pretty good shot.

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Who knows, but we will wait for that one. We

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about though on the show today.

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: We will dig into the rookie quarterback class. I will

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: give you some Week six sleepers, and we go through

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: every single game on the Thursday and Sunday slates. Of course,

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: not Monday because we got a Monday show, so we'll

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: do it when we get to Monday. But let's get

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: started with some fantasy headlines if you don't mind. We'll

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: start in Kansas City, where Clyde Edwards Hilaire is going

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to be out a few weeks. He's got an mc

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: l sprain. He suffered that uh in the game against

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills over the weekend. UH. Darryl Williams is

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: the next man up. I know he used a popular

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: name off the waiver wire. Where do you have him

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: ranked this week against the Washington football team? I have

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: him ranked very highly. I haven't ranked as the RB fifteen,

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: so not an RB one, but a high end RB two.

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting him everywhere I have him, and he was

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: someone that I was starting to stash even before Clyde

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire got hurt, so I do have him in

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: a couple of leagues. I just I know this sounds wrong,

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: markets but I kind of feel like with one of

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: the two top options away, all the work is gonna

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: go to the other guy. So I kind of feel

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: a little bit better about Daryl Williams right now than

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: I was when both were healthy. And I think a

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: lesson to be learned here is that, like, instead of

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: maybe you know, like that sixth wide receiver on the

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: end of your bench, grab one of these backup running

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: backs because if the starter gets hurt, they are going

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: to get a huge SURPLUSIT value and be a top

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: waiver wire target. I feel like, you know, it's I

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: guess the best way to describe it is sort of

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: a modified zero RB thing, But I feel like it's

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: easier to sort of pull that off in season versus

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. I feel like if you're doing it

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: in the draft, you really are kind of guessing a

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: little bit. But you get a couple of weeks into

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the season and you see how running backs are being used, Um,

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I feel like it gives you a better shot at it,

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: especially if somebody gets hurt then yeah, like like I'm

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be I'm not, you know, running to the

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: waiver wire to grab like Malcolm Brown. But like Daryl

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Williams is different because he we know that if he's

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: one injury away from being the lead back on a

64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: really good offense. Like I know it's not a really

65
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: good offense, but like Carlos Hide is someone like that

66
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: that I've been stashing because he's one injury away from

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: seeing twenty touches a week. So it's something that I

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: am trying to do in more of my leagues, and

69
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: I think listeners should as well. The Carlos High situation

70
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: that I just don't It's not against Carlos Hide. I

71
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: like him as a player, but there's just no reason

72
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: that James Robinson shouldn't just be dominating the touches the

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: biggest player of the game. Let's let's not micromanage. Let's

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: get Carlos out there. I just I don't know. Maybe

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: maybe Urban thinks he's back in Columbus. He's gonna leave

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: it at that. Over to San Francisco. Trey Lance has

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: a left knee sprain. He will be reevaluated later this week. Now. Look,

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: the Niners are on a bye this week. Lance was

79
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: not particularly great on Sunday against the Cardinals. Uh, there's

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: a very good chance that Jimmy Garoppolo could be back soon,

81
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and if he is, maybe he takes back that starting job.

82
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: So does this mean that for the time being, is

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: Trey Lance all the fantasy radar? Not for me? I

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: understand obviously you can't start him right now, but the

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: leagues that I have him in, Marcus, I am still

86
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: stashing him because I think his upside is sky high.

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: I know he didn't live up to expectations this past week,

88
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: but we did still see some of what we like,

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: like he was running, he got stuffed near the goal

90
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: on and what could have been a rushing touchdown there.

91
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: They let him run sixteen times for eighty nine yards.

92
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Like there's a reason why a player like Jalen Hurts

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: even when he is bad passing days, has really good

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: fantasy days because he can run. So Trey Lances of

95
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: a similar mold. I think that they do still make

96
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: the move to Trey Lance at some point this season,

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: especially with them not falling out of the race yet,

98
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: but they are quickly falling behind in that division, so

99
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: I think the move comes sooner than later. I did

100
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: think that that was going to be a key factor

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: if they were still competitive in the division in the

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: playoff race with Garoppolo, that he was going to stay

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: the course. Um, But right now the Niners are two

104
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: and three. Uh, They're still dealing with a lot of injuries,

105
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: and they've got a two teams the Division with Arizona

106
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: and the Rams that are looking to put some distance

107
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: between themselves and everybody else. So that could very well

108
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: make it easy to go back to train Lands at

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: some point in the future. Speaking of the Cardinals, Max

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Williams is on injured reserve, expected to miss the rest

111
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: of the season. I mean, not a ton to say here.

112
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: We were always looking for tight ends. Maximums had a

113
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: couple of nice weeks. I mean, I don't know, do

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: we go next man up with the Cardinals tight ends?

115
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know who it is. Yeah, I'm not

116
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: going next man up here. Max Williams wasn't nice surprise.

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: He was getting more usage than we anticipated. But this

118
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: is silly team that runs a lot of four wide

119
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: receiver sets with four pretty talented receivers. I don't think

120
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna start using their second string tight end now

121
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden over like a J. Green or

122
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore. Yeah, so I think I feel like it's

123
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: it's ron Dale Moore that probably gets a big boost

124
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: from this maybe we see some more targets for for

125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds out of the backfield. By the way, the

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: answer is Demetrius Harris. Yeah, I'm not. It's by starting

127
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: line up, so uh there it is. Um. This is

128
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: the first week that we have bye weeks this season,

129
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: so we're into the bys now. That means a fewer games.

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: That means thirteen games this week, actually fifteen games fourteen.

131
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: I can do math fourteen games this week instead of sixteen.

132
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: So the team's on by the Falcons, the Saints, the Jets,

133
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers. Here are some of the

134
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: notable players that are off. At quarterback. You're missing Jamis

135
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Winston and Matt Ryan for anybody who was starting either

136
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. Running back though a little bit more

137
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: serious where you've got Alvin Kamara off, Cordarrell Patterson, who

138
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: is currently the RB three uh is off. Mike Davis

139
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: is out this week at wide receiver, Calvin Ridley, Corey Davis,

140
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel All unavailable. You're tight ends Kyle Pitts George Kittle,

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: who is currently on injured reserve so he probably wasn't

142
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: playing anyway, but he's also going to be off this week.

143
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: So as you're looking around at that and you're looking

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: at potential replacements any position, who is maybe the best

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: potential bye week replace Smith this week? I do like

146
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: that way through Corey Davis on there just to be like, hey,

147
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the Jets off. Yeah, it was a lot of Saints

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: abalcon on that board, but I was looking at the

149
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: players that are on buy and I think the position

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: that gets hit the hardest this week is tight end

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: with Kyle Pitts and George Kittle being I know kiddles

152
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: on I R, but those are like two mus star

153
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: guys being taken away from us. So I think zach

154
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Ertz is actually a good waiver wide replacement. I looked

155
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: yesterday and he was only roster of NFL dot com leagues.

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: That feels pretty low to me. And Dallas Goddard is

157
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: now on the I R due to COVID, so he

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: will it doesn't look like he's going to be playing

159
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: this week. Art's volume has been going up the last

160
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: three weeks. He's actually been getting more usage than got

161
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Itard with them both on the field, So now I

162
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: think he could be a guy who sees like eight

163
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: plus targets this week against a Bucks defense that I

164
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: know seems scary, but they have struggled against the past,

165
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: especially against tight end, So I like zach Ertz. I

166
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: do like that zach Ertz pick too. I think, especially

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: with Goddard, as you mentioned, probably not playing on Thursday night,

168
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: I think he slides in there and get some work.

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I am going to triple down on LEVI I'm back. Look.

170
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Early in the season, it wasn't working out. Then he

171
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: had the game after DJ Chart gets hurt where he

172
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: has six catches I think for ninety nine yards and

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: it looks like things are gonna turn around for him.

174
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: Then last week he gets three targets. The one that

175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: he does catch he actually turned into a really nice

176
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: fifty eight yard catch and run. But we're all still

177
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: scratching our heads at how it is that Levisca Chenald

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: only got three targets in that game. Hopefully, the people

179
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: scratching their heads the hardest are the coaching staff in Jacksonville,

180
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: and they look around, they say, we've got to get

181
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: the ball in this guy's hands a little bit more.

182
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: It just feels like there's an overcorrection coming this week,

183
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: especially I guess the Dolphins defense that has not been

184
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: particularly good this year. It's been surprisingly bad. Uh So

185
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, especially against the past, So I

186
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: think this is a week that Chennault gets back in,

187
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands and his productive. So

188
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: this is it. Like, I don't know. If it doesn't

189
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: happen this week, I don't know. Maybe I don't know

190
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna feel. I don't know if I'm completely

191
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: out or whatever, but um, it's got to happen this week.

192
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: I feel you're paying because I was a huge Marvin

193
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: Jones supporter coming into this season, and like it's not

194
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Channault or Marvin Jones that are like it's yeah, they're struggling,

195
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: but it's not like they are not playing well. It's like,

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: why are we not getting these guys the ball? I

197
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: mean they had eight targets combined. Dan Arnold and ag

198
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Knew had eight targets each. I mean, at some point

199
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be like, hey, these are the two best weapons.

200
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: We don't care if the defense who they're throwing at him.

201
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: We have to give our guys a chance to win

202
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: them as well. So hopefully there's an overcorrection and it

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: leads to a lot of volume this week. I mean,

204
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: when you have a chance to load up a journeyman

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: tied in and a punk return specialist with targets, I mean,

206
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: you just gotta take it. Yeah, just sot to it,

207
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: all right. We've got three big questions four weeks six.

208
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: So the first one we talked a little bit about

209
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. We'll talk some some Justin Fields a little

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. But just as we look

211
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: at this rookie quarterback class as a whole, we had

212
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: big expectations. We were super excited. Uh so far has

213
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: it been great? Uh? Did we overrate these guys? Know,

214
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: it's only been five weeks. I get it, Like, I'm

215
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: not calling these guys a bust, I don't you know,

216
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: don't tweet at me about it. But were we may

217
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: be too high on some of these guys. Yeah, I

218
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: think so. Again. I'm not saying I'm like you, Marcus.

219
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these guys are buzzs for their careers

220
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: and they're never gonna pan out for fantasy. But I

221
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: think for year one expectations, we definitely overrated this class.

222
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: I am as guilty of it as anyone, Like I

223
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: thought Trevor Lawrence was going to be a breakout quarterback

224
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: this year. I thought he would finish as a QB

225
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: one because I thought he was gonna be running more.

226
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: I love seeing him run this past week, so hopefully

227
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: these last two weeks, so hopefully that continues. I thought

228
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Trey Lands Marcus, once they got to start,

229
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be qb ones. Trey. Justin Fields doesn't have

230
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: nine Fantasy points in the start this year, so that's

231
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: far from being a QB one. Trey Lance didn't look great.

232
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Mac Jones and Zack Wilson, we didn't have

233
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: high expectations for But one thing I've been thinking about

234
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: is do we overrate keys? Not just because of the

235
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: success that rookie classes have had in past years, but

236
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: because Fantasy Football Twitter from January to like May does

237
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: nothing but talk about these rookies and get excited for them.

238
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: That I think we make our expectations a little too high.

239
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: I think it's more of the ladder. I think both

240
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: things kind of come into play, but I definitely think

241
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: it's more of the ladder. Like we spend as soon

242
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: as the Super Bowl ends and we turned fully into

243
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: draft mode. I mean, we start talking about these guys

244
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: and hyping up what they can do. And there are

245
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are watching hours and hours

246
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: of tape on these players, and yeah, I think we

247
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: get a little bit too fired up about what they

248
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: potentially can be, uh, not always taking into account the

249
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: situation some of these guys are walking into. Um, you know,

250
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots offensively still don't have a lot

251
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: of weapons. I mean, they're they're better than they were

252
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: last year, They're not great. Uh. The Jets so far,

253
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: they're still the Jets. The Jets. Yeah, there's still the Jets, right. Um,

254
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, we're excited about the Jaguars and what would

255
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: be for Trevor Lawrence. We didn't really get that so far.

256
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: The coaching staff would kind of be a bit of

257
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: a mess um and have something to do with it.

258
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: So I think that's that's has something to do with it. Uh.

259
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: And so Bears is one that I cannot explain because

260
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: they have good pieces of round field Mooney and Allen

261
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Robinson and before we got hurt Montgomery and I thought

262
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: they had a somewhat decent play caller in Matt Naggie.

263
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: But it's just completely gone off the rails in Chicago.

264
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: It has I feel like with with Matt Naggie and

265
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan, I think they like their young quarterbacks,

266
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: but I feel like they really want to take their

267
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: time getting them in there. They don't like them as

268
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: much as as we want, right right, I mean, Shanahan

269
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: has been very resistant to naming uh kind of Trey

270
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Lance the starter um. And it really only happened because

271
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Garoppolo got hurt. Garoppolo stays healthy. I think he keeps

272
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: that starting job. It's similarly, I mean with with Naggie,

273
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: It's like it's like he still wants to run the

274
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton offense. You who were justin fields don't get it.

275
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't understand. Let him do

276
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: what he does best, Like he could scramble, he could

277
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: throw the deep ball. I I just I don't get

278
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: get him out of the pocket and move him around,

279
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: just do some different things. But uh, yeah, it just

280
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: has not happened yet. All Right, A couple of guys

281
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: who are playing really really well right now. One of

282
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: them happens to be a rookie UM for the rest

283
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: of the season. Who would you rather have Mark's Brown?

284
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Who's back to be in Hollywood again or Jamaar Chase.

285
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I would rather Jamaar Chase, But this was a really

286
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: tough question. I think if we were to do like

287
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: rankings now, like take away what we did coming into

288
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: the year, but if we were like rest of season rankings,

289
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I think you can make a case that both of

290
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: these guys are a wide receiver one. That's how good

291
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: they have played. And there's been a lot of other

292
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: receivers who have struggled or lost their quarterback, like DK Metcalf,

293
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: which I think maybe you put these guys ahead of now.

294
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: But the reason I like Jamaar Chase is just because

295
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Mark's Brown is gonna have Rashod Bateman coming back, and

296
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: I think that's another a little bit of compet hition

297
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: for targets there. I don't think he's gonna overtake Brown

298
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: as the wide receiver one, but Jamar Chase is already

299
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: thriving with Higgins and Boyd there. But I think these

300
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: two are really close and they're both players that I

301
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: would be very happy to have on my roster right now. Yeah,

302
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: I mean they look at it like, uh, I think

303
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Chase has a handful right there. Brown has a handful

304
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: more catches, Chase has just a few more yards. They

305
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: have the same number of touchdowns. I went back and

306
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: forth with this, and I sort of landed on Marquise

307
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Brown just because I I still think they they were

308
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: going to be Tee Higgins games in there. There's going

309
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: to be a Tyler Boyd game or two in there

310
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: at some point. Um. For me, the Ravens passing game,

311
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: at least as of the moment, is pretty much Marquis

312
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Brown and Mark Andrews and maybe maybe we do see

313
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Somer Shot Bateman in there, but it just seems like

314
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: it's a pretty narrow funnel of where the football is

315
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: going there. In uh in Baltimore, I think there're more options.

316
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: And since the big surprise, Lamar Jackson can actually pass

317
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: much to everyone on so like there's a group of

318
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: people there who like still like to knock Mark like

319
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: he's awesome, Like let's give the guy his due, Lamar

320
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson on football Twitter is like it's like Candy Corn, right.

321
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that, because I actually like Lamar Jackson

322
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: and Candy Corn is the most overrated candy. It was

323
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: an insult to both Candy and Corn. Remember that. Um,

324
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: But people have sort of like they have drawn their

325
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: lines about how they feel about Lamar Jackson. UM. And

326
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's really budging at any point,

327
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, he had maybe the greatest passing game, Like,

328
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: he's the only player in the history of the NFL

329
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: to have over completion in a game with four hundred

330
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. But he can't but he can't

331
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: throw the football. It's that bad for a running back. Uh.

332
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of running backs, Mike Davis, Miles Sanders, Josh Jacobs

333
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: all have sort of underperformed this year. Um. Of those

334
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: three guys, which one, if any, do you still believe in?

335
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: It is none an option because I know if I

336
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: had to pick one, these are all three players too

337
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: that I was fading coming into the years. So luckily

338
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't have any of them on my rosters. But

339
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: if I had to go out and get one, it

340
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: would be Josh Jacobs. Like Miles Sanders, touches are going

341
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: down big time. And yeah, you could be encouraged that

342
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: they threw the ball to him five times last week.

343
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: He caught all five of them for six yards. That

344
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: is not good. Uh, Mike Davis is getting outplayed by

345
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Cordara Patterson. I don't see that changing. Josh Jacobs at

346
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: least is still getting eighteen nineteen touches a game. He's

347
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: still giving you double digit Fantasy points. But even that

348
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Raiders offense, Like, I'm worried about them moving forward. I

349
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: am definitely worried about them, But you're right. For me,

350
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: it is Jacobs just because, um, you know, he is

351
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: the lead guy there. Uh you know, I feel like

352
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Sanders is still the number one guy, but

353
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: that gap between he and Kenneth Gainwell is closing quickly. Um,

354
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: as you mentioned Cordarrell Patterson, he's the technically the RB

355
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: two on the depth chart, but you know he's the

356
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: RB one in our hearts right now because he's just

357
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: playing so well. It's hard. It's hard to get him

358
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: out of that spot. So Jacobs is the guy I

359
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: think he's at this point point in his career. Jeff

360
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Jacobs is who he is. He's just he's just man.

361
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: He's he's He's on the All Oatmeal team, right, He's

362
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: just fine. It's not exciting. They're never gonna make him

363
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: a pass catcher in that offense. It's just not gonna happen. Um,

364
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is not a pass catcher in that office.

365
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: He's a nothing in that office. Why did they bring

366
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake there? At the time, it made no sense?

367
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: And like I was like, okay, maybe they have like

368
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: big plans for him. They're gonna use him in the

369
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: slot they were saying coming into the It's made no sense.

370
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: They've done nothing with him, none whatsoever. I can't figure

371
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: that one out. So we'll step away for a quick

372
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: break when we return. Game previews coming up next on

373
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. All right, let's get into

374
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: our game previews. You know we're gonna get through every

375
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: single game on the Thursday and Sunday slate, so it

376
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: only makes sense to start with Thursday Night football. The Buccaneers,

377
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: who are red hot on offense, going against the Goals,

378
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: who uh, at times look like they have something figured

379
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: out in the times, just not really sure. But if

380
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at somebody in that game, who do you

381
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: have your eye on? I already spoke up zach Ert,

382
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about DeVonta Smith here. I think

383
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: you have to start DeVonta Smith in this matchup. I

384
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: know people like to look at the Bucks defense and say, oh,

385
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: they have a pretty good defense. Well, they're good against

386
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the run. They've struggled mightily against the past this year.

387
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: In fact, they've allowed these second most fantasy points too

388
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers this year. And DeVonta Smith has already been

389
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: seeing big usage eighteen targets in his last two games combined.

390
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: But now you take away Dallas got it in a

391
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: game where they're going to I I expect them to

392
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: be trailing and having to put up points keeping up

393
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady and that high powered Bucks offense. I

394
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: think DeVonta Smith could see double digit targets and and

395
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: maybe even crack twenty fantasy points this week. Would not

396
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: be surprised if that happens. I would also throw in

397
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: as a kind of a deeper sleeper, is a Jalen

398
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: Reagor who's who's getting more work? Look, Eagles fans, I'm

399
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: just gonna say this, He's He's never gonna be justin Jefferson.

400
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: You're gonna live with that for a long time, Like

401
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: that's just And I know that, you know, I know

402
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: that nobody in Philly, you know, none of the fans

403
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: made the pick. I know it's not on you, guys,

404
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: but that's when you're gonna have to wear for a

405
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: while because he's just never gonna be Justin Jefferson. But

406
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: I do think there's a chance for him to be

407
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: a bit of a deep sleeper this week. I like

408
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: what or too long passes. Quiz Watkins last week had

409
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: a fifty catch and finished with forty eight yards. That's

410
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: that's interesting work there. I would say that both for

411
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: for Reagor and maybe Quiz Watkins, they are more daily

412
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: picks than I would season long yeah, or like real

413
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: deep leagues. Yeah, but I do think you know, you're

414
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: taking a chance on a deep ball in a game

415
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: where they're probably gonna have to do the deep ball.

416
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm still laughing. He has yard catch and finished with

417
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: forty year yards. That's right up there with you know,

418
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: with Miles Sanders having the five catches for six yards

419
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. At some point the game just bad,

420
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: just mind boggling, all right. Now, that's a part of

421
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: the show. I talked about TikTok uh in case none

422
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: of the there's the coffee cup here, by the way,

423
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: I should probably move that out of the way anyway.

424
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: I talking about TikTok. Now, we have an account at

425
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy. We do stuff on the talk. I don't

426
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: even know if the kids call it that, but I'm

427
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: calling it that. We do TikTok videos. We try to

Speaker 1: do here, but more like in fifteen or thirty second increments. Uh.

430
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: So go check us out at NFL Fantasy. Um, how

432
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: that somebody tried to uh extort you for your it's

433
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: it's it's still a work in progress. It hasn't gone

434
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: as well as I had hoped, But I know you're

435
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: on TikTok Marcus, and I am you're going viral. I

436
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: did a couple of times, man, I can shout out

437
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: to to Matt Frederick, who I used some of his

438
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: fantasy nuggets that he he emails to us here at

439
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: at the network. Uh. And I made a TikTok out

440
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: of one and it went very well. And people argue

441
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: with me that I was like posting agenda and like

442
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just quoting facts, man, Like I just

443
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: all I said was that Cordaro Patterson has more three

444
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: touchdown games receiving than Julio Jones, and people are trying

445
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: to make it out like I'm I'm not saying Julio

446
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Jones is bad. The fact, I'm not trying to tell

447
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: you that Julio Jones is a bad player. I know

448
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: he's Cordo Patterson is just better. And that's all aways

449
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: through it. Yes, mark it down. Um, we're gonna get

450
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: tweets about that anyway. Let's keeping our game previews. The

451
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Chargers at the Ravens, which at least on paper, seems

452
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: like the game of the week this week. That's gonna

453
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of fun. Uh. Look, there's a

454
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: whole lot of guys that you are starting, you know,

455
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Herbert Alan, Mike Williams, Eckler you're starting, then,

456
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: you're starting, Lamar Jackson, you're starting, you know, Marquis Brown,

457
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. On the other side, you know you're starting

458
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: those guys. But I will tell you that a sleeper

459
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: this week is Jared Cook. And I went back and

460
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: looked at the Ravens numbers against tight Ends. Um, they're

461
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: not great. I sort of excused it because the first

462
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: three or four weeks I mean they week one they

463
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: faced Darren Wader. Week two they had Travis Kelsey. Uh.

464
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: Week three they actually shut down t J. Hawkinson. Week

465
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: four was no offense. Um, so I'm like, Okay, they

466
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: used a really tough run of tight ends, but then

467
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: they gave up like fifty yards to mo Aley Cox

468
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, uh, that's a little bit different. So yeah,

469
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: I feel like Jerry cook has some sleeper potential. It

470
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: seems like at least once or twice a game, justin

471
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Herbert finds him on a couple of big plays, which

472
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: if you're streaming a tight end, that's all you need.

473
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: One or two big plays, maybe one that ends in

474
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. Um. I keep saying that man, Jerry

475
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: Cook man, he's like the He's like the end piece

476
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: of bread on the loaf, Like nobody really wants him,

477
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 1: but if you figure out what to do with it, it

478
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: it ends up being pretty good. So they like to

479
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: get their tight ends involved in the red zone as well.

480
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: I've actually been talking of Donald Parham as like a

481
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: deeper league guy as well, but I like both of

482
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: those guys as deep tight end sleepers. Uh. And you

483
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: were saying the Ravens schedule. I mean there's like six

484
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: good tight ends. Yeah, that's that's a rough schedule. This

485
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: kid started absolutely all right. So Cardinals and Browns, which

486
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: again has another game that has the potential to be

487
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: really fun. Uh this week, who are you paying attention to?

488
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: This is another game a lot like the last one

489
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Markets where you know the guys that you're starting, like

490
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: you're starting Kyler Murray and Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt

491
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: and and and all of those guys. So I wanted

492
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: to go a little bit deeper. I think Rohn dall

493
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: Moore is a sleeper in this game. I know Rohn

494
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: dall Moore had after we got excited for him, he

495
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of down games. People started throwing him

496
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: back on the waiver wire. But when I was rewatching

497
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: this game this week, Marcus, he's the one who jumped

498
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: out of the screen of all the Cardinals players for me,

499
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: like the way they were using him. Yeah, he had

500
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: that beautiful like toe tap catch on the sideline. But

501
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: what I really like is, uh, the way they were

502
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: using and they were moving him all around the field.

503
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: They used him in the in the backfield at times,

504
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: they were in the option with him and Kyler Murray.

505
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: They were using him in the red zone. I know,

506
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: we only had six targets this past week, which is

507
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: pretty good for for Cardinals wide receiver right now. They

508
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: usually get around five or six if unless your name

509
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: is DeAndre Hopkins. But he is doing more with it.

510
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: I think as the season progresses too, he could carve

511
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: out a larger role and maybe he steals some work

512
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: away from like A. J. Green and those other guys there.

513
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: They have a lot of designed plays for him right now.

514
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: They just they just want to get the ball in

515
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: his hands and let him be athletic and they can

516
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: get him out in space. If they can get him

517
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, on an end, a round or a jet

518
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: sweep something like that, they're going to get him the ball.

519
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: And that is I think very encouraging about what he

520
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: can be. Um the Chiefs at the Washington football team

521
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: this week, I just say start everybody, um because neither

522
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: defense is very good. I mean the Chiefs have been

523
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: surprisingly awful, the Washington defense even more surprisingly awful so

524
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: far this year. So you can start everybody, but specifically, uh,

525
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: this is a week I think you can stream Taylor

526
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: Heineke and and he's become a pretty decent streamer this year.

527
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when the matchup is right, he's he's giving

528
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: you twenty points, which I think it's sort of all

529
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: you can ask for out of a guy like that.

530
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: So if you are, for instance, missing Russell Wilson, or

531
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: if you've got say Matt Ryan on a by or

532
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: something like that, or you just need somebody in the

533
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: two QB league, uh, provided he's available, well, uh, he's

534
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: worth a start because the Chiefs have just been miserable

535
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: defensively this year. Yeah. I have him ranked as the

536
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: QB thirteen this week, so and I debated putting in

537
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: at twelve, but I had to go with Sam Donald.

538
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I still believe in him. The other thing

539
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I like about this call, Marcus is watching when teams

540
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs. Because of Patrick Mahomes and stuff, they

541
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: play more aggressive on offense, like they try to take

542
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: more shots down field. They'll be a little bit more

543
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: like likely to go for it and and stuff. So

544
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: I really like this Heineke call as well, especially because

545
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: he'll add some points with his legs. I know all

546
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: the analytics people love offenses playing against the Chiefs because,

547
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it's It's forced coaches to be more

548
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: aggressive and go for it on fourth down, which we

549
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: know analytics football Twitter loves that, and so I know,

550
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, coaches don't want to give the ball back

551
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: to my homes, so they try to go for it.

552
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: Vikings at the Panthers. You mentioned Sam Donald. I think

553
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: this is hopefully a bounce back week for him. Um

554
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: I watched last week and they struggled protecting him against

555
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and maybe that was some of the issue.

556
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: But outside of Sam Donald, who who should we be

557
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: uh keeping an eye on. I'm saying beware Adam Dealing.

558
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: And I know I've been the low guy on Adam

559
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: Dealing all year. I just thought he was too touchdown

560
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: dependent and eventually touchdown regression is going to come, and

561
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: I just didn't want him on my rosters when it did.

562
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: And the last couple of weeks are proof of why.

563
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: Like in the last two games he did not catch

564
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown, he has fewer than eight Fantasy points in each.

565
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: I hate that he only had three targets this past game.

566
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: And then the Panthers on the year have been stingey

567
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: against receivers. They've allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points. They're

568
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: giving up just a hundred and twenty eight yards per

569
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: game and just five touchdowns to the position. So I

570
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: think this is a game where if you have Adam

571
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: dealing because of the Boys and stuff, you probably still

572
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: have to start him. But I don't feel great about him,

573
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: and I had I have him ranked as a wide

574
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: receiver three this week outside of the top twenty four.

575
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: He had yards on nine catches in Week one, had

576
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns against the Bengals. He hasn't had more

577
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: than fifty yards in a game since then. It's not good.

578
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: Not good, And so you really are relied on the touchdown.

579
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: And I know that, you know after those first few weeks,

580
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown regression is not gonna happen. I'm like, it's

581
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: been three weeks, four weeks, whatever it That only to

582
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: me made me think like it's gonna come eventually, and

583
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna get really ugly when it does. Yeah, I

584
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: mean if he so, if he doesn't score a touchdown

585
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: this week, it would be three straight weeks if he's

586
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: not putting up yards um him. Look at the schedule, right,

587
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Panthers this week, then they're on a buy. The Cowboys

588
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: who you know have been pretty good defensively, the Ravens,

589
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Packers, the Niners. It's a really rough

590
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: stretch in there. I think if if Feeling has a

591
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: his next good game, like if he has like another

592
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: two touchdown game or something like that, I think that's

593
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: when you try to like flip him. Because he is

594
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: a big name. I think a lot of people will

595
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: see Adam dealing and be like, all right, I could

596
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: get I could trust this guy every week in my heart, right,

597
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: And that's when you ship him off to that person

598
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: that thinks that. Just tell them that to look too

599
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: deeply the actual statistics of the whole thing. All Right,

600
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: we're talking some starts and sits here on this show,

Speaker 1: but we also have a whole show dedicated to start Sitdham.

602
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: It's fittingly enough called the Stardom Sitnham Show. So if

603
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: you are looking for some championship help, be sure to

606
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: which I found. I found a fake hundred dollar bill

607
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: in one of the chairs. They look surprisingly real when

608
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: you know, like we're sitting there for Fantasy Live. I

609
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: reached in the cushion and like, holy crap, I was

610
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: really just about to take off my go home for

611
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,639

00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: come back. We will dig into a couple more games. Also,

621
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure out where Matthew Stafford sits among fantasy

622
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for the rest of the season. That's next on

623
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's talk about the Rams

624
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: and the Giants. Specifically, let's talk about Matthew Stafford. Um,

625
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: dude's been great so far, and thats not that it

626
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: was unexpected. I mean, you know, you bring him to

627
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: l A. You you put in with Sean McVeigh, you

628
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: put Cooper Cup and Robert Woods on the same field

629
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: with him. You expected good things. But with what you've

630
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: seen so far, is he a league winning quarterback this year? Yes?

631
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: By association? Okay, he is the QB eight on the year,

632
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think he is a top five fantasy quarterback.

633
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I think he's top ten, which obviously can win you leagues.

634
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: But I think he's elevating everyone on the Rams offense,

635
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: like Cooper Cup is the wide receiver one or or

636
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: might be the wide receiver two now. But Cooper Cup

637
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: has been awesome, Robert Woods looks great last week, Tyler

638
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: Higbee is one of the few startable weekly tight ends

639
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: out there, and Darryl Henderson is getting the job done.

640
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: This is not stuff that we were able to say

641
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: last year with Jared Goffs. So I think Matthew Stafford

642
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: is gonna help every and around him lead you to

643
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 1: fantasy championships. And I think you're fine if you have

644
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford as your quarterback. I just don't think that

645
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: he is a league winner in the sense that like

646
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna run away and be the QB one or

647
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: anything like. I also think part of it is if

648
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: you have Stafford, you probably have another quarterback somewhere else

649
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: that that maybe you're starting or maybe you're just sort

650
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: of rotating in and out based on the matchups. But uh,

651
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: the sketch was really nice. I mean, so they got

652
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: the Giants this week, who are, you know, kind of

653
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: middle of the road. But then they got the Lions,

654
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the Texans, uh just enclosure ears, they got the Titans. Uh,

655
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, they've got the Jaguars. The only thing that

656
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: makes me worried is that in Championship Week they do

657
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: have the Ravens, but um, they're fantasy playoff sketch was

658
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: also pretty good. The Seahawks who are terrible, the Vikings,

659
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: who are not great. Um, so I'm with you, and

660
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be like a top three

661
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: or five quarterback, but I feel like he's gonna be

662
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: that sneaky guy that late in the season, sometime in

663
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: December is gonna get hot because he's gonna have great

664
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: matchups and they're gonna be a lot of teams that

665
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: get deep in the playoffs with Matthew Stafford. If I

666
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: have Stafford or like cup like, I want to build

667
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: that stack for that run, like because that I think

668
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: could be a stack that leads because I know the

669
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Rams the rest of the season of the second easiest

670
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: schedule amongst receivers. Like, I think a Stafford cup stack

671
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: could lead people to champions like and a lot of

672
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: people championships. Absolutely it could, So we'll see how that goes.

673
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Bears and Packers, and

674
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: for this one we're looking at Justin Fields. Um, the

675
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: Bears are at home playing the Packers this week, you

676
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: are not starting Justin Fields. As you mentioned, he has

677
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: not had nine fantasy points in a game yet this year,

678
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 1: so nobody's going to be foolhardy enough to start him,

679
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: at least I hope not, Um, But for you, what

680
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: do you want to see from him before you feel

681
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: like you're comfortable starting him non fantasy points? And also

682
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I want to see Justin Fields be allowed to play

683
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields like his best rushing game of the

684
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: year was in a game that he didn't start in

685
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Week two, like since he has become the arder twelve

686
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: rushing yards, nine rushing yards, four rushing yards like. This

687
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: is a guy who is very dynamic and has shown

688
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: it throughout his football career. Like in Ohio State, he

689
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: was running all over everyone and he was throwing the

690
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: deep ball and scrambling and and just playing loose. And

691
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: then in the preseason he was doing that as well.

692
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: He was running more and and being used in the

693
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: red zone in certain packages and stuff. And then since

694
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: then they were like, no, let's coach him like he's

695
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, like you've been saying, and it just leads

696
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: to fields not playing well, him not being effective, and

697
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: it being awful for fantasy. It's just it is sort

698
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: of bringing everybody down. Like so the way you talked

699
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: about Matthew Stafford being a league winner by association because

700
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: he's going to help lift up you know, Cooper Cup

701
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods and and all these guys around him. Um,

702
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: right now, the way the Bears are using justin Fields,

703
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: he has kind of been an anchor by association. They're

704
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: not letting him do much. And so Alan Robinson is suffering,

705
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney is suffering. I mean, uh, you know, we

706
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: haven't had David Montgomery the last couple of weeks because

707
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: of injury. But it's just bringing this whole offense down

708
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: because they're trying to fit uh Fields into a situation

709
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: that just he doesn't seem comfortable in and he's just

710
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: not productive in um and so until that changes, it's

711
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: really hard to think we're gonna be able to start

712
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: justin fields, which also kind of circles back to our

713
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: earlier conversation about us maybe being a little bit too

714
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: hyped about some of these rookie quarterback I never thought

715
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: I would miss Mitch Chubisky, who get the ball to

716
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson ten times a game. Hey, Richard Bisky has

717
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown this year? He out in Week four,

718
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: He outscored justin fields and fantasy points, and he only

719
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: came in like the fourth quarter wins a blowout. Fields

720
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: played the entire game. Sorry Bears fans, Sorry Rank. That

721
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: is good. All right, let's get back to our game previews.

722
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: We've got the Cowboys at the Patriots Dallas right now

723
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: looking like a serious contender. I mean, we knew how

724
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: good their offense was, but their defense has gotten a

725
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: lot better this year. Uh, speaking of which I would

726
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: say start the Cowboys defense. I don't think we've talked

727
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: about the fact that they are the number three defense

728
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: special teams in fantasy football right now. Uh, part of

729
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: it on the strength of their league high ten interceptions.

730
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean Trayvon Diggs has been just lights apparently. Uh.

731
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not the first person to come up with this,

732
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: but if your last name is Diggs, you just catch

733
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: the football. It's just what you do. Um. Trayvon has

734
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: been great about it. We have seen Mac Jones struggle

735
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: when he gets pressure in his face. Um, and even

736
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: when he's been good, it's just been a lot of

737
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: short throws. He's not he's not pushing the ball downfield, right.

738
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: I think Trayvon and Stefon Diggs had the same number

739
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: of catches in Week five, which is great for tray

740
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: Von Steffon. Um. But yeah, I know the cowboy defense.

741
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point they are They're just worth

742
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: starting on their own merit. I know they're still available

743
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: in about of NFL dot com leagues. I'm sure they've

744
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: been a streamer a lot of times. This is definitely

745
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: a week you can stream them because, like I said,

746
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 1: Mac Jones he's been okay at best, but definitely doesn't

747
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: scare you nothing about the Patriots offense, and they might

748
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: be without Damien Harris, who is a big piece for them. Absolutely. Um.

749
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins at Jaguars. There are another London game this week.

750
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: This one a nine thirty a m. Eastern time kickoff,

751
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: which I guess is convenient because both those teams playing

752
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: the Eastern time zone, so definitely more interest out there.

753
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: But both these teams have had their issues. Where where

754
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: are we going for this one? I cannot wait to

755
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: wake up at six thirty am Pacific to watch in

756
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: All Florida Bowl between these two teams because they should

757
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: be on your way here work That's fine. Um. I

758
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: think Trevor Lawrence is a sleeper in this matchup. The

759
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: Dolphins have struggled against quarterbacks. They've allowed these six most

760
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points on the year. They've allowed over three hundred

761
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: passing yards per game right now. And what I like

762
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence is he's been running more, especially near

763
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: the goal line, and that is something that I thought

764
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: it would be a big part of his game as

765
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: a rookie because watching him and Climb in he was

766
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: so good at just like selling the option and just

767
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: rolling out and getting it in himself. He's a big

768
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: bodied quarterback. He had a rushing touchdown last week, and

769
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: in the game before and last week he was ruled

770
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: just down a like the half yard line. I thought

771
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: he got in on that play, but they it wasn't

772
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: meant to be. If he does have that second rushing touchdown,

773
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 1: he's over twenty five fantasy points and we're talking about

774
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: him having a really good day, so they're asking him

775
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: to throw more. I think this is a game where

776
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: he will have to throw a bit and if he

777
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: could get another rushing touchdown, I think then that the

778
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: upside is really high. I mean, he's he's right now

779
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: the QB. He did have a twenty one point game

780
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: last week. It's it's it's starting to come together for him. Um.

781
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: I guess should be a surprise, right, He was the

782
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. He was the greatest generational talents

783
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: since filling the blank. Uh. So maybe this was inevitable

784
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: that this was Andrew Luck who was the greatest since

785
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: paint Man. Right, Yeah, you know, on and on and on. Um.

786
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: All right, next up Raiders at the Broncos. Uh. In

787
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: case you haven't heard, there have been some things going

788
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: on around the Raiders that don't have to do with football. Obviously,

789
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: the big story of the week is that John Gruden

790
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: no longer the Raiders head coach after a series of

791
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: emails were found. Um. This obviously is not the venue

792
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: to get into what all that means, except it means

793
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: Rich Posaccia, the special teams coordinator, takes over his head coach.

794
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: The coordinators remained the same offensive and defensive so uh,

795
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: theoretically that means not much changes with what the Raiders

796
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: do schematically, which is sort of what we care about

797
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: for fantasy football. UM, I would say you kind of

798
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: beware of Courtland's Sutton because, as I talked about, with

799
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense being better this year, the Raider defense

800
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: is actually improved as well. Gus Bradley has done some

801
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 1: really good things with this defense. They're getting a great

802
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: pass rush upfront with Max Crosby, uh and Yannick and

803
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: gok Way, and it's made it easier on the secondary.

804
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: They're just not giving up a ton of yards through

805
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: the air. So I'd say beware of Courtland Sutton this week,

806
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: who has I has had some up and down games.

807
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a nice game last week, scored

808
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but for the most part it has been

809
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: kind of a struggle for him. And I think this

810
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: is a week where maybe we see a lot of

811
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, a lot of Javonte Williams maybe not quite

812
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: as much through the air. Um, so if you have

813
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: other options, and if you survive this long you probably do.

814
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: I would just be wary of Courtland Sutton. Yeah, I

815
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: completely agree. The Raiders have allowed the fifth fewest fantasy

816
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: points and they've allowed just one touchdown two receivers all years.

817
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: So if you're not getting a touchdown and and a

818
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards, like, you're not getting a lot of yards there.

819
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: It is a tough matchup for sure. Yeah, so I

820
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: just just kind of keep an eye out on that.

821
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait for Jerry Judy to get back. Oh

822
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: me too, I have a bunch of teams with him

823
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: sitting on the I R I have. I haven't a

824
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: couple of rosses. I'm like scouring Google, like trying to

825
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: find news, like when is this happening, and like, uh,

826
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: just waiting for that to happen. Got some more game

827
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: previews four years we get ready to wrap up the show.

828
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: Texans at the Colts. Uh. Yeah, it's not really an

829
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: exciting game, but but there are some guys at least

830
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: worth giving a start this week. Yeah, I think Michael

831
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,959
Speaker 1: Pittman is one that you have to start. I wanted

832
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: to go with my boy Johnathan Taylor here, but everyone

833
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: knows to play already. Oh. What I like about Pittman

834
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: is the volume has been pretty consistent. The last four games.

835
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: He has twelve, twelve, eight, and seven targets, and he's

836
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: been really breaking out as of late. Like in each

837
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: of those four games he has either anywhere from eleven

838
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: point nine to over twenty fantasy points. He only is

839
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: one touchdown still, he caught it last week. But the

840
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: catches and the yards have been sustainable, and I think

841
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: he will catch more touchdowns. I really like Michael Pittman.

842
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: I thought he was a breakout candidate coming into the year,

843
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: and I think the breakout is happening right now before eyes.

844
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: I do think so as well. I mean it was

845
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: it was trending that way because, as you mentioned, all

846
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: the other metrics were in his favor. He just hadn't

847
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: turned it into yards. He finally got a touchdown, which

848
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: was was a grown man touchdown. Yeah, just a fully

849
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: grown man touchdown that he scored. So I do think

850
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: it's coming along Bengals at the Lions because the schedule

851
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: makers said, I sure, I shouldn't say, because the Bengals

852
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: are good. The Bengals are good. They are fun and

853
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: I keep I keep saying this because I do believe

854
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: that they are fun to watch. Um, Joe Mixon is

855
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: a must start in this one. I mean, we've talked

856
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: about uh, Jamaar Chase and how good he has been

857
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: in the wide receivers in general, but the Lions have

858
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: been really bad against the run, and Joe Mixon, as

859
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: long as he's healthy, is really dominating the opportunities in

860
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: that backfield. Yes, we've seen some I JP Ryan, We've

861
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: seen a little bit of Chris Evans, but this is

862
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon's backfield. He's truly the RB one on this team.

863
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: The Lions are bad defensively, so you were probably starting

864
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: him anyway, But this is me saying that he is

865
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: a must start, Like he should definitely be in your

866
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: line up this week. Yeah, like last week, we didn't

867
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: think the guy was going to play at all, and

868
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: then he ended up still scoring a touchdown in a

869
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: very meaningful part of the game for them, Like he

870
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: is their running game. I agree in this matchup, the

871
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: lines are the best matchup you could have. If you're

872
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: running back, absolutely absolutely all right, then uh Sunday Night

873
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: Football Seahawks and Steelers. It's probably looked a lot better

874
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: on the schedule when they put it together, uh, you know,

875
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: last spring. But now we've got a matchup of Gino

876
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: Smith against the ghost of Ben Roethlisberger. Um whoo, who

877
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: should we take interest in for this one? I think

878
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks are must start in this one. No, I'm

879
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: just kidding. I think though, for real, Chase Claypool is

880
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: someone that you should be starting. I think with Juju

881
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster out now, the volume is going to be

882
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: consistent enough for Claypool where you could trust him each week.

883
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: And he is explosive. Like last week he only had

884
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: six targets and five carries, five catches, but he turned

885
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: it into a hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown.

886
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: He's had over eighteen Fantasy points in his last two games,

887
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: so I think his explosiveness, paired with the increase in

888
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: volume now that he's gonna get with no Juju there,

889
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: makes him a guy that you could start each and

890
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: every week. I will say, I do think if if

891
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger can't have a big game this week against

892
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: that Seahawks defense, it just might not happen for him

893
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: this year. I'm excited to see Chase Claypool burned Jamal

894
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: Adams at least once. Joel Adams is not that hadn't

895
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: really worked out for the Seahawks, not not even a

896
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit so far. All right, let's wrap up the show.

897
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: We have some sleeper picks for you for Week six.

898
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: We each have a couple who is first on your list?

899
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: A lot of Trojans, Yeah, amandros st Brown, who is

900
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: someone that I liked and I know you liked coming

901
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: into the year, and it's it was a slow start,

902
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: but it's coming to fruition. The last two weeks, he's

903
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: got eight targets. In each game, He's either tied or

904
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: had the team lead in each of those games. He's

905
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: top thirteen Fantasy points in both of them. H Quintus

906
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: se Fists left early last week. He's banged up. The

907
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: Lions are just searching for anyone to step up in

908
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: the passing game. And with Hockinson turning down and the

909
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: other guys banged up, Aman ross St Brown has really

910
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 1: stepped up. And something I've said since before the season

911
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: even started. He's a big slot receiver who I thought

912
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: could have been in a safety blanket to Jared Goff,

913
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of like a poor man's Cooper Cup was for

914
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: for golf out here in l A. And it's starting

915
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: to happen. So I'm getting pretty excited about st Brown.

916
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: I picked him up in a couple of leagues where

917
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: he was dropped, and I think he's a sleeper in

918
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: a good match up against Cincinnati. Yeah. That the that

919
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: Cup comparison just keeps coming up repeatedly, and I think

920
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: it's it's starting to become true. It's why I took

921
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: some late shots on him, and a whole lot of

922
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: drafts kind of waiting for this moment, and it's finally happening.

923
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna know Carson Wentz here, who played way better

924
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: against the Ravens than I would have anticipated, had over

925
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: twenty points in that one fact, that was his highest

926
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: scoring game of the year. Uh and now this week

927
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: has a very very good matchup against the Houston Texans.

928
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: Um I'll say this, the Texans defense, at least by

929
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: the numbers, is not as bad as I thought it

930
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: would be, but it's also not great either. No so

931
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: um so again, if you're streaming quarterbacks, if you need help,

932
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: with the position Carson Wentz. I think is has a

933
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: nice opportunity this week against Houston. Yeah, um yeah, next,

934
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him watching him miss the watching

935
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: him watch the missed field goal at the end of regulation,

936
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, what what else could he have done? I

937
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: mean he did, he did everything he could to help

938
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: him get that. He was just like, come on, come on,

939
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: just all right, Who's who's your next sleeper? This is

940
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: definitely a sleeper because this is someone that even as

941
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: of last week we had on I think he was

942
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: roster and zero percent of NFL dot com leagues. Ricky

943
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: Seals Jones. I know it's kind of gross, but tight

944
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: end is gross, and it's even grosser with teams on

945
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: buy this week, taking away come a couple of must

946
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: start options and then Dallas god A being absent from

947
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: us right now. So I think if you are desperate

948
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: for a tight end and many people are, Seals Jones

949
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: is a name for you. Eight targets last week was

950
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: tied for the second most on the team. He played

951
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: almost a hundred percent of the snaps. Logan Thomas is

952
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: on the i R right now, and with him out,

953
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 1: Seals Jones is stepping up and is there number one

954
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: tight end? And I think this is gonna be a

955
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: game Marcus where against the Chiefs, they're gonna have to

956
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: throw a good amount. We just saw Dawson Knox burned

957
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs last week, So I think Ricky Seals Jones

958
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: is a sleeper tight end this week. He is currently

959
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: rostered in zero point six percent of NFL dot Com league.

960
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say

961
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance he is available in your league. Uh,

962
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: if you need tight end help, as somebody who lost

963
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Max Williams in a very deep league, I fall into

964
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: that category. Um, my last sleeper is Evan Ingram if

965
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay on tight ends, And I know it's

966
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: hard for people to kind of get behind the idea

967
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: of Evan Ingram nowadays, Um has not been particularly great,

968
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: but the last few weeks he's seen quite a bit

969
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: of targets. He's had I believe sixteen targets over the

970
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: last three games. Is actually has a a I want

971
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: it's not quite a career high catch rate, but it's

972
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: pretty close. So he's actually trying to do things with them,

973
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: and with so many injuries and look that has been

974
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: a big knock on him, right that he had hands

975
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: of stone in the last couple of years. So um,

976
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: with the all the injuries in New York, right, Kenny

977
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: Golla Day with that hyper extended knee. Still waiting to

978
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: see what's gonna happen with Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. Um.

979
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, even Tony's a little banged up, a little

980
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: bit banged up. He's got what a foot injury. I

981
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: believe hopefully he doesn't try to punch anybody else next week.

982
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, we know se Kwan is gonna be out. Basically,

983
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is the Giants need to go somewhere

984
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: with the football uh, and that very well could be

985
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. The matchup isn't necessarily great against the Rams,

986
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: but I just think the volume UH is going to

987
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: be there potentially for him. So I've got him kind

988
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: of as a sleeper this week. I like it. I

989
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: have him as a top fifteen tight end. He might

990
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: not forget being the Giants tight end one this week.

991
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: He might be their wide receiver one UH. And Mike

992
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: Glennon is not going to be through. If it is

993
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon he's not gonna be airing the ball out

994
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: of here taking those short shots to to Evan Ingram. Yeah,

995
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that goes. By the way, this

996
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: just coming across Twitter as we're sitting here recording this. UH.

997
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is at practice today though Matt rule Uh

998
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: says he's going to be limited, but they are hopeful

999
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: that he can play against the Vikings this week. I

1000
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: ranked him this week expecting him to play. I mean,

1001
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: he he almost suited up last week. I think this

1002
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: week is the week that they're gonna be like, all right,

1003
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you get back out there. Yeah. I

1004
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: mean I put him in some line ups last week

1005
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: and then had to make the last minute change to

1006
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: pull him out. I'm doing the same thing. I've got

1007
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: him in the lineup right now and we'll follow this

1008
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: along and then if I have to make a change

1009
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 1: on Sunday, then so be it. Um before we go,

1010
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,760
