1 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Everybody. 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, September thirteenth, twenty twenty three. Welcome to the 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG. Marcus 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: brand joyed by Michael F. 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: Florio. We got specialists, We got a whole role of 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: you all over there. Go give us as out of applause, Parky. 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: We make this thing happen. You guys make this thing happen. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: And we are glad that you are here. We're glad 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: that you are here, watching, listening. However it is that 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: you are engaging with us, we certainly appreciate it. We 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: are through week one officially, we got through the Monday night. 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: I haven't spoken to you since the Monday night. From 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: a Bill's perspective of debacle, how are you feeling? 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: Not great? 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 4: Like week one loss is not a big deal, except 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 4: for when it feels like, hey, they did not fix 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 4: any of the issues that cost them the season a 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 4: year ago. 20 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of a rough ending for the 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: Buffalo Low Bills. Obviously a rough night for the New 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: York Jets after the win. I mean, you hav him 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: to deal with the Aaron Rodgers fallout. We're previewing TNF 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: and the early Sunday games from Week two, plus we're 25 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: wondering if some Week one flops can rebound this week. 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: But let's start with a couple of fantasy headlines. A 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: big one coming out of Pittsburgh. Deontay Johnson left Sunday's 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: game against the San Francisco forty nine Ers with an injury. 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: He could be out for up to four weeks. Florio, 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: you know both you and I love Deontay Johnson. This 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: year thought he's gonna be a big part of what 32 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: the Steelers do. This is a big blow to their offense. 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: Who ends up benefiting for the Steelers in the lineup? 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 4: The hope is that it's George Pickens, but even last 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 4: week he wasn't the top target getter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 4: Earning targets is the one thing that George Pickens seems 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 4: to struggle with. When you throw the ball his way, 38 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 4: he can make a lot of good things happen. But 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: it looks like to me like it's gonna be a 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: piecing together of Alan Robinson and Calvin Austin stepping up 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 4: here and getting almost Calvin Ridley getting more work for 42 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers. 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think Calvin Austin sort of benefits here 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: because he's the guy who took over last week, played 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: the majority of his snaps in the second half after 46 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson got hurt. Alan Robinson shockingly was the guy 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: who got the most targets in the Pittsburgh offense. Didn't 48 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: see that coming after what happened with him last year 49 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles with the Rams. 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on it. And someone ask 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: me about Pat Fryarmouth. 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: I think Friar Ruth maybe gets a couple more targets, 53 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: but he was already gonna be on the field, so 54 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: it's not like he's gonna play more snaps because there's 55 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: no Deontay Johnson in Philadelphia. Other side of the same state, 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: Kenneth Gainwell not expected to play on Thursday Night football. 57 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: This is the guy who shockingly was the lead running 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 2: back for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week one. 59 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Does that mean DeAndre Swift is back in our lives? 60 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: I think so. 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 4: Nick Sirani came out and was like, there's gonna be 62 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: weeks where we're not using him a whole lot, and 63 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 4: then there's gonna be other weeks where he's leading the team, 64 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 4: and I'm like, that is insanely frustrating for fantasy football. 65 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 4: But Kenneth Gainwell again like looking like he's not going 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: to play. I think DeAndre Swift could be what Gainwell was, 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 4: and that is the best dual threat back on this roster, 68 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: like Rashad Penny could be used. But when Rashad Penny's 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 4: out there, you know that they're planning on running the ball. 70 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 4: So I think when you have someone like Gainwell or Swift, 71 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: it kind of keeps defenses on their toes because they 72 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: can either run the ball well or they're both good 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 4: pass catchers and pass protectors as well. 74 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we always love clarity, and the fact 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: that Sirianni made that comment about Swift's usage potentially over 76 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: the course of the season is frustrating. 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: It's confusing. 78 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: Honestly, it makes me a little bit scared in my 79 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: tummy when I think about it a little bit. 80 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: So we'll see how things go. 81 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: Obviously, we'll get a better sense of it once we 82 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: get closer to the Thursday night kickoff, and then we 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: can kind of make our decisions based on that. But 84 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: this is going to be a lingering headache for fantasy 85 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: managers all year long. Speaking of TNF, it'sake a look 86 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: at the game preview for this week's game in Minnesota. 87 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Vikings head to philadelph You to take on the Eagles 88 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: eight fifteen Eastern. You can see that game on Prime Video. 89 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: Let's start, why not start with Justin Jefferson. Let's go 90 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: the more or less ninety five receiving yards for Justin 91 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: Jefferson this week against the Eagles. 92 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: I'm going to say more, but I think it's gonna 93 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 4: be because the Vikings are trailing in this game. I 94 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: think this is gonna be a get right game for 95 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense. Their defense is gonna 96 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: make life very difficult for Kirk Cousins and Cobe. But 97 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: I think if they're chasing points late, that means a 98 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 4: lot of airing the ball out, which means good things 99 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: for Justin Jefferson. 100 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that it's over because well, he's Justin 101 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: Jefferson and that's the reason why he's gonna get a 102 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: ton of Targets's gonna get a lot of opportunity. 103 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, it probably will help if they are playing 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: from behind. 105 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: But look, we saw Jordan Addatson have a very nice 106 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: Week one, you know, but this is still Justin Jefferson's team. 107 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: This is still the offense. It runs through him. So 108 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: I say over as well, because that's just what Justin 109 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: Jefferson does. On the other side, talk about Kenny game 110 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: Well potentially not being available for Thursday night football, So 111 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: then who will be Philadelphia's lead running back this week? 112 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift? And originally I had Kenny Gainwell because he 113 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: was the RB one in Week one. 114 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: I know a lot of people want to galaxy brain 115 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: this and say that they were saving him for Swift 116 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 4: for the short week. 117 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 118 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: I think that Gainwell was just who impressed the coaches 119 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 4: the most. But with him out, I think it comes 120 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: into Deandra stip for all the reasons I said earlier, 121 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: the unpredictability that he brings to this offense. 122 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: So I'm anticipating it will be him. 123 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Rashad Penny, which I know seems off 124 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: the wall because he was a healthy scratch in Week one. 125 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: I think some of it, though, was kind of the matchup. 126 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: They wanted to have more versatility against the New England Patriots, 127 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: and so that allowed them to have both DeAndre Swift 128 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: Kenny Gainwell in there. I don't know that they need 129 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: to be quite as tricky against a Vikings defense that 130 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: has struggled, and I think you will want more of 131 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: a straight ahead between the tackles runner That's what Rashad 132 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: Penny offers. So I think this is going to be 133 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: a week that you see him active, and now with 134 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: gain Well possibly out of the lineup, I think you're 135 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: gonna see Penny get a whole lot of opportunity. The 136 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: fact that we've said all this means that it's gonna 137 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: be Boston Scott. 138 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: That's all there is to it, because that's how things 139 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: work on this show and did Fantasy Football in general. 140 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: We are just getting started. 141 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: We got plenty to get through as we continue through 142 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 2: the entire week. 143 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: Two Slate Packers. 144 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: And the Falcons coming up after the break, trying to 145 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: figure out what to do with some of these pass catchers. 146 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: There in Atlanta. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 147 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: We'll get the Sunday Slate rolling down in Atlanta with 148 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers taking on the Atlanta Falcons. 149 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: And last week wasn't so bad if you had a 150 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: Falcons running back. 151 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: If you started Bijon Robinson, if you somehow started Tyler Aljier, you. 152 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Were pretty okay with what happened down there. 153 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: If you started Kyle Pitt's or Drake London, it was 154 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 2: a much different story. Also a reminder in the postgame 155 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: that Fantasy lives rent free and Arthur Smith's head. So 156 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: this going against the Green Bay Packers, do you dare 157 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: start either Drake London or Kyle Pitts. 158 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: Drake London, no, just one target, zero Fantasy points. And 159 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: the thing is he was running a whole bunch of routes. 160 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 4: It was like five percent of his routes he was 161 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 4: targeted on. It is hard to trust that Kyle Pitts. 162 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 4: I will start still and people could call me crazy. 163 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: The part of it is because he's a tight end 164 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 4: and the bar is so much lower for a Fantasy 165 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 4: tight end. But then he was their top receiver last 166 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: week in terms of yards. You see here if you're 167 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 4: watching the video show, he could wait, look at that catch. 168 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: How do you watch this guy make that catch and 169 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: then say I Am not gonna throw the ball. 170 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: Only Arthur Smith could do that. 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: I don't understand it, but there was other players rewatching 172 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: this game where Kyle Pitts was wide open. 173 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: I think better days are coming for him. 174 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: I think better days are coming, but this is not 175 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: a week that, certainly with Drake London, that I really 176 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: want to mess around. I can probably make the case 177 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: for starting Kyle Pitts. As you mentioned, we expect less 178 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: out of the tight end position, so that will help 179 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: in that respect. But it's apparent that Arthur Smith wants 180 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: to run the football. I think in part because he 181 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: wants to try to hide his quarterback a little bit. 182 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: We saw that last year with Marcus Mariota, and in 183 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: a semi small but steadily growing sample size for Desmond Ritter, 184 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't look like there's been a major upgrade at 185 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: the quarterback position for Atlanta. So because of that, they're 186 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: trying to hide him. They're trying to limit how much 187 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: he throws the football, and that is going to have 188 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: an impact on London and Pits. I know we try 189 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: not to overreact on things from week one, but I'm 190 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: not gonna lie to you. I am very concerned about 191 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: both those guys at this point because this is just 192 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 2: kind of what it is. 193 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: Because Arthur Smith. 194 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: Is gonna view it as we won this game, we 195 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: don't have to throw the ball to these guys, and 196 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: it's it's countering to it. 197 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: By the way, Arthur Smith, he've only won seven games 198 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 5: in back to back seasons. You're not necessarily winning a 199 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 5: lot of games. Maybe you're in a bad division, Like 200 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 5: you're not sorry, I don't let mean Santasy's least favorite 201 00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 5: coach by four. 202 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: Ooh suh. All right, ever, go Raiders and the Bills. 203 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: The Raiders coming off a big win over the Broncos 204 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: to start the season. 205 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: The Bills trying to shake. 206 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: Off that ugly loss against the Jets on Monday nights. 207 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs is a start, duh. Any other pass catchers 208 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: that you have any interest in not named Stefan Diggs? 209 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: No, And it's kind of becoming like the Chiefs offense. 210 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: I think where you start the quarterback, you start the 211 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 4: top target and then the rest. It might just be 212 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: until someone steps up. This looks like they're going to 213 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 4: spread the ball out a whole bunch. James Cook was 214 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 4: the second most thrown two player. Obviously you're starting him, 215 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: I think. But for pass catchers, Gabe Davis had four targets, 216 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: canctered four targets, Knox had four targets. We saw Deontay 217 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 4: Harris getting involved in there. Right now, it just seems 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: like they're gonna be spreading the ball out. It's digs 219 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: or busts. And by the way, for all the Allen 220 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: and Diggs narratives we heard all offseason, those two guys 221 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: were in each other's corners on the sideline and Stefan 222 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 4: Diggs was putting Sauce Gardner and red On Skates. 223 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: The narrative was just overblown. I just wanted to get 224 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: that in there. 225 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: All right there, he goes. Yeah, I just I don't 226 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: really know what pass catchers to trust. And I was 227 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: big on Dalton Kincaid and it's early, but what I 228 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: saw on Monday night was an offense that is using 229 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: both of its tied ends very heavily. So I do 230 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: wonder whether or not Knox and Kincaid are going to 231 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: sort of cannibalize each other a little bit. 232 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is who he is. 233 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: I mean, he will have the Spike Weeks in there, 234 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: but he's not going to be a guy you can 235 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: trust consistently. 236 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: The only other I guess, quote unquote past catcher is. 237 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: James Cook that I feel good about, and he's getting 238 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: the running back opportunity, so that sort of makes him 239 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: a little bit more reliable. 240 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, this Bill's offense, for as high powered as 241 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: it is. 242 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: The fantasy options are sort of few and far between, 243 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: at least early in the season. Ravens and the Bengals 244 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: big rivalry matchup in the AFC North. 245 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Ravens, JK. 246 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: Dobbins is gone for the season after the achilles injury. 247 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 2: Just as Hill was a popular waiver wire pick, Gus 248 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: Edwards might have gotten drafted depending on how deep your 249 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: league is, He's gonna be on rosters. Melvin Gordon likely 250 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: to be elevated to the fifty three man roster as well. 251 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 2: Any of those guys that you would feel comfortable starting 252 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: this week against Cincy. 253 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 4: No, I think like I'm of the three, I want 254 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 4: Gus Edwards the most and that's the one that I 255 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 4: went most aggressive for on the waiver wire this week. 256 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 4: But there's uncertainty, like you said, O, or who's gonna 257 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: get more touches? This could just be a three headed committee. 258 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 4: Remember what it looked like last year when it was 259 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 4: like Kenyan dre. I forget all the running backs they 260 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: were thrown out there at different ports in the last 261 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: two years. Honestly, it has just been a mix and 262 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: match type of thing. I want to see it first. 263 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 4: I need to see who's going to get to work, 264 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: especially considering they're playing the Bengals, who have been really 265 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 4: stingy to running backs in the past. 266 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: They have been over the long haul. 267 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: I don't even know how to approach this really, I 268 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: guess any short term, I like Gus Edwards. 269 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: He's the guy that I drafted a lot. 270 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: You and I talked about this during the offseason because 271 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: the ADP was so much nicer. He's the guy that 272 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: I drafted a lot. But I think think, I think 273 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: things are going to change there in Baltimore. It looked 274 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: early on as though Todd Monkin was going to be 275 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: a one running back guy in JK. 276 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Dobbins was going to get all of that work. 277 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: Now that he's gone, I think it might turn into 278 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: more of a committee situation, which is ultimately going to 279 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: be frustrating because you throw in the fact that Lamar 280 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: Jackson is going to run as well, so it's going 281 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: to be hard to figure out. You mentioned the defense 282 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: that they're going up against this week. That certainly makes 283 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: it a little bit more scary to try and figure 284 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: out a Ravens running back. So if you can get 285 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 2: one off the waiver wire, if you were able to 286 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: get Justice Hill, if you were able to get Gus Edwards, 287 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: don't panic and get rid of them, but understand that 288 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: at best they are going to be I think, flex 289 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: options for you most of the year, because it's going 290 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: to be just kind of a hot hand sort of 291 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: situation there in Baltimore this year. Seahawks and the Lions, 292 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: this I think has the makings of a very fun 293 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: game this week the same between two pretty good offenses. 294 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: Should be a lot of back and forth in this one. 295 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: A lot of interesting rookies here. On the Detroit side, 296 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: you got Jamiir Gibbs and Sam Laporta. On the Seattle sides, 297 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: you got Jackson Smith in Jigba. Any one of those 298 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: guys you like more than the other, potentially I. 299 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: Like all three of them. 300 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 4: I actually have all three as starts this week. Gibbs 301 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: is the one I have the most confidence in. I 302 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 4: know he didn't get as much work as we were hoping, 303 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 4: but watching him, your. 304 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 3: Eyes told you the truth. This kid has it. 305 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 4: He's got the juice, so much explosiveness. But I didn't 306 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 4: expect the physicalness out of him. He was not afraid 307 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: to lower his shoulder, run into the defender, and then 308 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: the contact balance he was bouncing off of it. It 309 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: was so hard to take him down. So I'm a 310 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: big fan of Gibbs. I think he's going to get 311 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 4: more work. Laporta looked a part. I know Jaysen disappointed. 312 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 4: I think that was more about the Seahawks passing attack. 313 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: But the Lions give up a lot of yards in 314 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: the passing game, especially the slot receivers, and that's where 315 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: he was running a lot of his routes. 316 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: I love Sam laport He was one of the guys 317 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: especially in Best Ball Leagues, and I drafted the most 318 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: of this year because you could get him late, you know, 319 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 2: and he was immediate going to have a role, and 320 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: we saw that in Week one against the Chiefs. The 321 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: depth chart for tight ends for Detroit is pretty barren, 322 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: so Laporta was out there immediately. And as is the 323 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: thing with some of these new age tight ends, they're 324 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: not asking him to block, they just want him to 325 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: run routes. 326 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: And catch the football. 327 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: So the learning curve for him is going to be 328 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: a little bit shorter in an offense that's throwing the. 329 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: Ball a lot. 330 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: And yeah, Josh Reynolds had a pretty nice day in 331 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: Week one, but right now it's I'm on Ross Saint 332 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: Brown and who gets those other targets really much up 333 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: for grabs at the moment, and Sam Laporta can step 334 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: in and get a whole lot of them. 335 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: So I'm very excited. 336 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: About Laporta this week and going forward because we just 337 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: need more tight ends. 338 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: That's what we need in our fantasy lives. More tight ends. 339 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: There it is. 340 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: Speaking of tight ends, we're gonna talk about the Kansas 341 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: City Chiefs and they're tight end Travis Kelsey as well 342 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: as the rest of that offense. Stick around for more 343 00:14:51,720 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: game previews on the NFL Fantasy Football Shop. Let's take 344 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: a pause from the game previews, look at some guys 345 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: who last week might have let us down and decide 346 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: whether or not they're going to bounce back in week two. 347 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: We will start at quarterback with Daniel Jones. Look, there 348 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: were some big name quarterbacks that sort of let us down, 349 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: but I think we feel good about the Joe Burrows 350 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurtzes of the world getting better. In Week two, 351 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones a little bit of a different situation because 352 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: the Giants were pummeled by the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, 353 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: losing forty to or nothing. Daniel Jones had a miserable day, 354 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: as did the rest of his Giants teammates. 355 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: This week they have the Cardinals. Do we feel good 356 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: about him bouncing back? 357 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: I do. The Cowboys are his kryptonite. I had him 358 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: as the sit last week. 359 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 4: There's not many quarterbacks you want to start against that 360 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 4: Cowboys defense. The good thing is the Cardinals are not 361 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 4: the Cowboys defense. They've allowed the fourth most passing touchdowns 362 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: to ninth most passing yards since last season, and Dimes 363 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: led the Giants in rushing attempts. I still think all 364 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 4: the reasons we were excited for him coming into the 365 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 4: season and still apply. 366 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: Just don't play him against Dallas. Don't play him against Dallas. 367 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: I think you can play him this week. But I 368 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: also you know, I'm of the opinion that Daniel Jones 369 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: is sort of who he is. He's a fringe QB 370 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: one at best, So understand that going in that I 371 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: think he's a guy that you know, a good week, 372 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: he gets you twenty twenty two points and that's sort 373 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: of nice, But that is kind of I think where 374 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: his ceiling is. 375 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: So I think he's startable. I think he bounces back 376 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: from last week. 377 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: I don't expect anything spectacular even against the Arizona Cardinals. 378 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs, who got in late after finally signing the contract, 379 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: got in just before the start of the season, did 380 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: not have a great day against the Denver Broncos in 381 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: Week one. Does he bounce back in Week two against 382 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: your Buffalo Bills. 383 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: Yes, in a big way. 384 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: I think he saw a whole bunch of volume and 385 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 4: that's what we want for Josh Jacobs. He had nineteen 386 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 4: of the twenty running back carries and if you're watching 387 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 4: the video show, you see it. Watching this game, he 388 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 4: was getting a lot of opportunity near the goal line 389 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 4: and stuff. That Broncos defense is just very much so 390 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: for real. You know who can't stop the run, the 391 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. Just watch last season. Watch Week one, Breis 392 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: Hall was running all over them. 393 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 3: This is a get right spot for Josh Jacobs. 394 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: He had nine point one Fantasy points forty eight rushing yards, 395 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: a couple catches for twenty three yards, And I do 396 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: think that Bills run defense is a soft spot that 397 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna be targeting a lot in fantasy. 398 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: You mentioned it last year. 399 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 2: Breece Hall came out and had over one hundred yards 400 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: on just two carries to start the game. So I 401 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: think Josh Jacobs gets back to I know Jimmy Garoppolo 402 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: had a nice game, but I still think this offense 403 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 2: wants to go primarily through Josh Jacobs. 404 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: This is a week for them to do that. 405 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 2: Plus, if you're the Raiders, you want to run the 406 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: ball and try to keep Josh Allen and those guys 407 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: standing on the sideline as much as possible. 408 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: Naji Harris. 409 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 2: You and I said to avoid Naji Harris in Week 410 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: one against the forty nine Ers. That sort of turned 411 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: out to be true. Was not a great week for him. 412 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: This week, they've got the Cleveland Browns who shut down 413 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: the Bengals last week. Does Nagie Harris bounce back? 414 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: I feel a lot confident in this one. 415 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 4: The Browns defense looked really, really good the other day 416 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 4: and they were able to hold Joe Burrow down. But 417 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: Joe Mixon did rush thirteen times for fifty six yards. 418 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 4: The issue is if you're bench like I understood last week, 419 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 4: I said to bench Naji Harris because of the matchup. 420 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 4: If you're benching Naji Harris two weeks in a row 421 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 4: to start this season, why did you draft nag Harris. 422 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: That's a good point. 423 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: I mean I said last week that you probably weren't 424 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: benching Nag just because you probably drafted him, say in 425 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 2: the fourth round, and you don't feel like you had 426 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: another guy who was as good or better than Naji, 427 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: but the matchup was bad. Jay Len Worm is going 428 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 2: to be a problem. I think again, the Browns defense 429 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: is going to be a problem this week. I don't 430 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be as bad. So I think if 431 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: you call a slight improvement a bounce back, then I 432 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: think Naji Harris is gonna bounce back this week. But 433 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be like a big, big 434 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 2: time out breakout for the season kind of performance from 435 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 2: Nagie Harris. And I think you're gonna sort of see this 436 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: all year. He had five point three points last week. 437 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: I expect he's gonna get you maybe closer to ten 438 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 2: eleven fantasy points this week against Cleveland. I just don't 439 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: really see a big game coming unless he somehow finds 440 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns and that's it. 441 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that might be the case for 442 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: him week to week all year. 443 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a scary spot. 444 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: That's I think why a lot of people were fading 445 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: Naji this season. On the other side of that game 446 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: for Amari Cooper, sort of an underwhelming performance and kind 447 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: of statistically, at least for a lot of the Browns 448 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: pass catchers, not a great performance. Amari Cooper three catches 449 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: for thirty seven yards. Does he bounce back against the Steelers. 450 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think in a pretty big 451 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: way as well. 452 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 4: It's no surprise I was very bullish on Amari Cooper 453 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 4: coming into the year, but for Week one it wasn't 454 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: a great environment, bad weather. Lou on Aramo is great 455 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: at limiting opposing pass attacks. I think this week against 456 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 4: Steelers they'll have better success throwing the ball. My only 457 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: concern is how much back is Deshaun Watson. 458 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: Because he did make some questionable throws last week. 459 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: He did, I don't think he's going to be again. 460 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: I'm still holy to the fact that he won't be 461 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: as bad as as he was last year. But whether 462 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: or not he's markedly improved, we still wait to find out. 463 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 2: So we'll see about that. But I do think Amari 464 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: Cooper steps it up again this week. I think he 465 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: kind of gets back into our good graces a little 466 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: bit more. 467 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: This one seems easy. 468 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard, who gave you zero point zero fantasy points, 469 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: I guess a good at New England defense. Does he 470 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: bounce back this week against the Vikings on Thursday night? 471 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's simply too good not to. Last year, he 472 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: averaged over two yards per route rant. The only other 473 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 4: tight ends who did that were Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews. Like, 474 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 4: Dallas Goddard is a very good tight end, the Patriots 475 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: are a hard matchup. I was watching this game and 476 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 4: the announcers were like, Belichick is thrown schemes that we've 477 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: never seen before, and the Vikings are a better matchup 478 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 4: for tight ends. Just for peace of mind, remember Devencea 479 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 4: Smith last season did not catch. 480 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: A ball in Week one. We know that turned out fine. Like, 481 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 3: don't overreact to just one down game. 482 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 2: Not worried about Dallas Goddard it'll be fine long term. 483 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: It was a rough game also sort of an nature 484 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: of tight ends not named Travis Kelcey. There there are spikes, 485 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: there are peaks, there valleys, so that you know this 486 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: was a valley, and hopefully we don't have too many 487 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: of those. But we got it out of the way early. 488 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: Dallas Gard is gonna be fine going forward. You can 489 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: keep starting him. That'll do it for this edition of 490 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 2: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Stay happy, safe and healthy, 491 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: do good, and live well. We'll be back tomorrow to 492 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: preview the rest of the week two matchups. Talk to 493 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 2: you soon.
