Speaker 1: Friends Forever, m Do to Do Do? Didn Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do?
Speaker 1: Did it do Yo? This is the Fantasy Best Friends
Speaker 1: Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Frankie
Speaker 1: stamfele I am Greg Susman, Frankie. What's going on Bundy?
Speaker 1: The much waiver wire Wednesday, waivers went through in a
Speaker 1: lot of my home leagues. I'm like, my home leagues
Speaker 1: just went through. I forgot. You know, it's a brand
Speaker 1: new thing for us, like a thing. Yeah. So it
Speaker 1: used to be overnight and we switched to ESPN for
Speaker 1: the capability to do it a nude every day, and
Speaker 1: I just realized it's kind of like waking up on
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, going on, I'm so nervous. I'm so nervous.
Speaker 1: I think the scott fish ball just went through at noon.
Speaker 1: I put some claims in there. Okay, I see, I
Speaker 1: got it. There's a lot of tight ends available in
Speaker 1: the scott fish Ball. I got Brandy Marshall again for
Speaker 1: how much money? I don't know what you put on here.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that you were not really sold on Brandon
Speaker 1: Mars and you've ended up with him everywhere so far.
Speaker 1: Is that the sigh of a man who missed out
Speaker 1: on Quincy noon Noona? It was owned in this like? Whoa? What? Noona?
Speaker 1: Was the last round pick in my home league in
Speaker 1: the sixteenth round. Looks pretty good? Right now? This stinks.
Speaker 1: Get off your chest. I'm not happy. I'm not um so,
Speaker 1: I added. I added, I'm not happy. I came to
Speaker 1: see the auction report yet this is bom bothered. I'm bothered,
Speaker 1: um So, I added, Brandon marsh of a twelve bucks
Speaker 1: and fine, I think the highest other bid would it
Speaker 1: looks like it was nine dollars? Just fine, You don't
Speaker 1: no big deal there. But my I also had a
Speaker 1: bid in I didn't never been round. I guess I
Speaker 1: can't feel bad about it. Philip dors Set went for
Speaker 1: a dollar. I'm like, wait a minute, it's a really
Speaker 1: good price a dollar, and I must I don't know
Speaker 1: how I didn't have a backup bid on him. I
Speaker 1: thought I had that. I thought I had a backup bid.
Speaker 1: Un really, and it seems like I didn't my backup
Speaker 1: it was on phil Lindsay. And how much did Philip
Speaker 1: Lindsay go for? Philip Lindsay went for fourteen dollars bucks?
Speaker 1: I spent twelve one. Brandon Marshall all right, um other
Speaker 1: Ted Ginn went for four bucks. Looks like Cole Beasley
Speaker 1: went for three? Did I not have? I thought I
Speaker 1: had a lot more waiver claims in than I did.
Speaker 1: That's not I know. I'm annoyed by this one, knowing
Speaker 1: it myself. What are you gonna do? B J? It's
Speaker 1: a bad job, Greg. I don't own anywhere waiver wire?
Speaker 1: Why do I own Brandon Marshall everywhere? Why am I
Speaker 1: the Brandon Marshall guy? All of a sudden, I feel
Speaker 1: like I talked you into him. I don't agree. I
Speaker 1: just thought I put a bit in that was like,
Speaker 1: all right, if I got a for both my Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall bids, it was if I get him whatever. But
Speaker 1: even or twelve dollar bid out of a hundred is
Speaker 1: not just like if I get him whatever, but it
Speaker 1: is it's week bid is like four dollars more. That
Speaker 1: makes a difference. I don't agree with that it makes
Speaker 1: a difference. I don't. I don't agree, right, So how
Speaker 1: come when we're deciding how much percentage to tell people
Speaker 1: to bid on, why do we put a higher percentage
Speaker 1: for better players and a lower percentage for no obvious obviously,
Speaker 1: but yes, every number, every dollar matters quite yes, But
Speaker 1: the point. The point is, I don't think a twelve
Speaker 1: dollar player and an eight dollar player. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a huge difference there. There's not a huge difference,
Speaker 1: but there's a difference. There's four dollar difference. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: didn't think twelve dollars would be good enough Brandon Martial.
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was the higher guy. I'm Brandon Marshall, alright,
Speaker 1: So I mean for people who put bids in later
Speaker 1: or today, or we're wondering how much they went for,
Speaker 1: I mean, he only went for nine dollars. In my
Speaker 1: home league, and the only reason why I didn't bid
Speaker 1: on him is because I didn't have anyone to drop
Speaker 1: in this league. I have have Chris god Went on
Speaker 1: my bench, Mike Williams, I read it out to you yesterday.
Speaker 1: I have Frank Gore to pair with Kenyan Drake. I
Speaker 1: have Kenyan Drake, I have Isaiah crow Well, I have
Speaker 1: Kenny Still. So I just didn't have anyone to drop.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how often that becomes an issue for people
Speaker 1: in week one, because there's no one that really like
Speaker 1: blew me away. I liked Brandon Marshall, I liked Phil Lindsay,
Speaker 1: but there was no one where I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to break the bank on this guy. I agree.
Speaker 1: What's what do you say breaking the bank is? How much?
Speaker 1: Did you say? I agree that? Like last year, remember
Speaker 1: I lost David Johnson. I spent I spent like twenty
Speaker 1: two dollars out of a hundred on whoever the backup was.
Speaker 1: Last year, it was somebody not good, not good. It
Speaker 1: was um, I'm forgetting his name's escaping me same Actually
Speaker 1: it was somebody that was terrible, and I think I
Speaker 1: liked him though, to be honest, like Stefan tylor Is
Speaker 1: that it was no. Okay, I don't think so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a not good running back. And then when
Speaker 1: I lost David Johnson last week I last year, I
Speaker 1: felt like I need that. I will say that if
Speaker 1: you and we agreed on this yesterday, if you were
Speaker 1: a Leonard Fournett owner who Leonard Fournett is not practicing today,
Speaker 1: not expected to practice, if you needed t J Yelden
Speaker 1: and he was available, that's the guy we said go
Speaker 1: for over twenty. I agree with that. Where do I
Speaker 1: see if I don't know how many how much fab
Speaker 1: people have left over at ESPN, how do we do that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. ESPN and Yahoo are terrible. I am
Speaker 1: a huge advocate of CBS Sports, although you have to
Speaker 1: pay for it. Yeah, it's that I'm out. Yeah. In
Speaker 1: my league, Philip Lindsay went for nineteen dollars. Greg Okay,
Speaker 1: people look about some of the players that were dropped
Speaker 1: to Yeah, so I'm gonna start with the one that
Speaker 1: surprised me. In my league, Um, Carson Wentz was dropped
Speaker 1: and it came out this morning that he has not
Speaker 1: been cleared for contact yet. And Nick Foles obviously starting
Speaker 1: in week two, so he was dropped, and my quarterback
Speaker 1: in that league is Patrick Mahomes. I don't have another one.
Speaker 1: I think I drafted out Smith. I dropped them for
Speaker 1: somebody on waivers. Um of course, I Wentz is droning
Speaker 1: like oh Man and immediately put a bid in for
Speaker 1: him the next time waivers go through, and then I'm
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here reading it was like, should I have
Speaker 1: a been in Recarson Wents Like I thought that was
Speaker 1: a really interesting drop. Yeah, I wouldn't if I'm a
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes owner. I feel pretty good. I know it's
Speaker 1: only one week, but he threw for four touchdowns in
Speaker 1: week one. It was against the Chargers, and while they
Speaker 1: didn't have both so they still have a pretty good secondary.
Speaker 1: So I feel pretty pretty good about Patrick Mahomes. I
Speaker 1: know two of those touchdowns were just like little handoffs
Speaker 1: that kind of count as touchdowns as passing touchdowns, so
Speaker 1: that obviously inflated his day. But I feel very very
Speaker 1: good about Patrick Mahomes. In a one quarterback league, I
Speaker 1: don't think I would go out there and trying roster
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. You just don't know when he's gonna be back.
Speaker 1: A and B you don't know if he's going to
Speaker 1: be as effective as he was last year even once
Speaker 1: he was turned all right, so I will cancel that
Speaker 1: one right now. Um somebody else on um, somebody else
Speaker 1: in my league picked up Ryan Grant for three bucks overnight.
Speaker 1: That's okay, Yeah, that was fine. But then the dropped
Speaker 1: in the first thing this morning and they pick up
Speaker 1: the hem Hines who went um did not get picked up.
Speaker 1: So he dropped Ryan Grant immediately and has been essentially
Speaker 1: spent three dollars in the hem Hines. He Hines was
Speaker 1: added in my league is a half point PPR league
Speaker 1: five bucks and they dropped Rob Kelly. Makes sense, Yes,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Some other moves that happened field Door
Speaker 1: Set for twelve bucks, Greg, I can't believe in lead
Speaker 1: that was. That's what's so interesting about fab right, It's
Speaker 1: like it's it's similar to obviously auctions, Like when we
Speaker 1: tell people you can't really plan for an Auten you
Speaker 1: don't know how much a player is going to go
Speaker 1: for the same thing goes for in fably, we can
Speaker 1: tell you, in my opinion, Philip or Set was a
Speaker 1: five to seven dollar player. If someone really wants and
Speaker 1: they want to play twelve dollars for him. There's no
Speaker 1: way of predicting that. Again, he went for a dollar
Speaker 1: in your league. So that's the beauty of fab You
Speaker 1: get him in one league for a dollar, you get
Speaker 1: him my lead for twelve dollars. In my other league
Speaker 1: he went for ten dollars and I was the second
Speaker 1: highest bidder at six there, you know, so, um, it's
Speaker 1: very interesting. Other players that in my league got dropped
Speaker 1: that that kind of that kind of surprised me. Um
Speaker 1: or you know, we got dropped for Philip or set
Speaker 1: Craigen to the he's a um. Albert Wilson dropped for
Speaker 1: Eric Iron in my league. How about this? Somebody picked
Speaker 1: up the Sean Jackson and dropped Courtland's Sutton. Uh ah,
Speaker 1: that's I see you wanting to try and buy back
Speaker 1: in onto Sean Jackson. But if you add someone, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see to go for So he went for twelve dollars,
Speaker 1: He went for twelve dollars. The problem is you spent
Speaker 1: twelve dollars on a player you're not gonna play this
Speaker 1: week because I don't think de Sean Jackson is gonna
Speaker 1: be ready. He's feeling with a shoulder into the problem.
Speaker 1: The problem is nobody else bid on de Sean Jackson
Speaker 1: brutal feeling. That is a bad feeling. Yeah, I I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do that with Jackson yesterday really
Speaker 1: has a waiver. This owner, Max, who fan of the show,
Speaker 1: listens to show, makes fun of your hair relatively often.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even have hair himself. Sometimes he doesn't believe.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he doesn't like believe in fab. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: what is sometimes yes or no? Nows? It's very short
Speaker 1: and it's longer. Would you think he doesn't even believe
Speaker 1: that he's jealous in my hair? He doesn't believe in FAB. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you told me about this guy. He doesn't believe in FAB.
Speaker 1: That's I appreciate the support, but that's not a good
Speaker 1: way to live. He has fifteen dollars left a good
Speaker 1: way to live unless one of the players he ended
Speaker 1: up with was James Conner or Adrian Peterson. Um. He
Speaker 1: spent thirteen dollars on on James Cook's week. It's not
Speaker 1: even a week two yet he spent would like to
Speaker 1: hear all Max's fab bids. You make this a segment,
Speaker 1: Max Fabis, It's gonna be one of weeks. Next week,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be zero dollar bids. All right, all teams?
Speaker 1: Where is it? Why is there no reason transactions? That's
Speaker 1: just not true. Oh my god, this is amazing. He
Speaker 1: spent twelve dollars into Sewan Jackson, thirteen dollars in Jarry Cook.
Speaker 1: That's twenty five dollars. He spent another forty seven dollars
Speaker 1: on phil Lindsay, what are you? Seven dollars? What are you?
Speaker 1: Seven dollars in Philip Lindsay. The next highest bid, in
Speaker 1: case you were wondering, Wow, very interesting. The next highest
Speaker 1: bid was thirty two dollars. Just crazy. I'm Philip Lindsay.
Speaker 1: Somebody spent one someone, but eighteen I didn't even wind
Speaker 1: a bidding. You didn't bid on Philip Lindsay. Guy, Yeah again,
Speaker 1: I mean look, that's every league is different. Forty seven
Speaker 1: dollars in yours, thirty two dollar bid, and next close
Speaker 1: bid in my league he goes for nineteen. So that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Max strikes me as a guy that you'd want to
Speaker 1: take to a strip club. Greg's careless with his money.
Speaker 1: That should be very fun, just throw it all around, throwing,
Speaker 1: throwing some bills at Philip Lindsay. Now now welcome to
Speaker 1: the stage, Philip Lindsay and Max's is up here. Seven dollars,
Speaker 1: wild man, Ma's got wild kind of crazy that I
Speaker 1: played a super flex league Greg and Ryan Fitzpatrick went
Speaker 1: for two dollars. Nobody else did on Ryan Fitzpatrick and
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford was dropped. I think that makes sense. I
Speaker 1: think the case keenum me comfortable playing Ryan Fitzpatrick in
Speaker 1: a super flex league this week against the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: defense super flex it. Yeah, I think he's a low
Speaker 1: one QB two. I'm with you there. I ranked quarterbacks
Speaker 1: last night. I haven't just inside my top twenty four. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we know the Eagles have a great front seven. The
Speaker 1: secondary at times last year especially could be had. I
Speaker 1: told Max I just sent up a text message and
Speaker 1: I said, we're currently talking about you. Do you want
Speaker 1: to call in? Oh my god, me, I'll hold on.
Speaker 1: So opened up those phone lines for Maximus. There you go,
Speaker 1: he's he's going on YouTube right now to check it
Speaker 1: out where you know? Oh, did did any defenses get
Speaker 1: added in your lead? Because I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1: The Jets got added for four bucks yesterday going up
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins obviously this week. Uh, and then
Speaker 1: the Bears got added for two bucks. I'm mad at
Speaker 1: myself because what I normally do, Greg is I'll put
Speaker 1: in bids early in the day. I was putting like
Speaker 1: one dollar bids to remind myself, like go in later
Speaker 1: and change these. I forgot to change my defensive bids
Speaker 1: last night, and I would have probably bid more than
Speaker 1: two dollars for the Bears. So i'd myself. So I
Speaker 1: actually bid um three dollars in the Jets, and that
Speaker 1: was unfortunately my backup to the Brandon Marshall one like
Speaker 1: the same I was driving the same player, and the
Speaker 1: Jets went for nothing. Um, somebody just put it away
Speaker 1: over claim as the year dollar bid on them, and
Speaker 1: I just didn't get him. So I wound up, as
Speaker 1: we're talking to you, picking up Cincinnati is what I went,
Speaker 1: which is what I've ended up with as well. I
Speaker 1: put a dollar in them. I had the Saints defense
Speaker 1: who are playing the Browns this week. There are a
Speaker 1: couple of a lot of defense that I picked up. Actually,
Speaker 1: the Jets got picked up, as I just mentioned, New
Speaker 1: England got picked up this morning. I consider them against
Speaker 1: Jacksonville I consider that. I said it against Hi. Um,
Speaker 1: San Francisco got picked up. I think San Francisco since
Speaker 1: it's gotten dropped. Washington and Houston as well. Washington interesting
Speaker 1: going up against Indianapolis this week with Andrew Luck and Houston.
Speaker 1: Houston I like because the Titans offense is kind of
Speaker 1: in shambles and he used to makes sense. It's a
Speaker 1: good season long play too, but they were dropped in
Speaker 1: Week one because they were feeling past. I have no
Speaker 1: problem with the Houston one. I think as were available
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues as well, but I actually
Speaker 1: putting for the Bears over the Texans. Would you agree
Speaker 1: with that? Greg? Oh? Yeah, I like the Bears the season,
Speaker 1: and I like the better season long wise. Um, in
Speaker 1: my other leagues, I look at the free agent acquis
Speaker 1: as report. Um, Jets, that's the only defense get picked up. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people reacting to Week one.
Speaker 1: Obviously they're not going to do that every week. It
Speaker 1: was their first defensive touchdown in something like seventy games,
Speaker 1: so obviously they haven't had that. But the defense is
Speaker 1: hungry New jack City, right, Jamal Adams leading the charge. Um,
Speaker 1: So look, I think they could be somewhat um productive
Speaker 1: again this week against the Miami Dolphins, who, yeah, they
Speaker 1: have Ryan Tannehill. Like whatever, we're not I'm not scared
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins offense. Yeah. Actually I like the Jets
Speaker 1: quite a bit this week if you can say you
Speaker 1: can tease them down to two and a half spreads
Speaker 1: currently at three. So so Frank Max wants you to
Speaker 1: know your hair looks better this week, and he likes
Speaker 1: your beard currently. All right, Yeah, you should convince you
Speaker 1: to grow one. It's not an app is here on
Speaker 1: your kickball team, saying they could have put like a
Speaker 1: kickball like prop bed or like some kind of wager
Speaker 1: together where if you fail you have to grow a beard.
Speaker 1: Do you guys mustach? You guys just grow a mustache?
Speaker 1: Do you guys do rivalry week rivalry week in fantasy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We do? Really. I think Max is my rival this
Speaker 1: year arrival. So it's just like randomly like randomly set
Speaker 1: the rivalry weeks. Rivalry like shouldn't change. It should be
Speaker 1: the same person every year. You'd think the same as
Speaker 1: like you know, NFL matchups or whatever, but we wind
Speaker 1: up in Giant we wind up changing it every year, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But over the phone line for Max,
Speaker 1: he wants to call in and he heard us talking
Speaker 1: about him, and he wants to talk about is there
Speaker 1: added incentive um rivalry week for you? He said he
Speaker 1: couldn't get through. The lines are busy, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: you guys filling them up. He's calling my cell phone,
Speaker 1: which was not helping. Right, just ended your cell phone
Speaker 1: on the air, put me on speaker and hold it
Speaker 1: to the microphone. Please don't call my cell phone. I can't,
Speaker 1: I cannot answer. There's one thing that greges not like
Speaker 1: when you call his cell phone while he's on the air,
Speaker 1: and I don't like it. He's like, do not call me.
Speaker 1: I'm on the air. Not so crazy, and it's Scott.
Speaker 1: Just call enough to be like the rankings this week,
Speaker 1: the Scots calling you, uh, Frank. By the speaking of rankings,
Speaker 1: Frank got upset with me on Sunday when I called
Speaker 1: him out for something. Might have been the Adrian Peterson thing. Um,
Speaker 1: it might have been something else. All right, publish your
Speaker 1: rankings and I you just see you could just see
Speaker 1: that he was angry. There was angry behind the text.
Speaker 1: I know when we get to Max after the break. Um,
Speaker 1: but I tell he was angry. So I responded, quite honestly,
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, do you want my rankings just
Speaker 1: been about me? Rank not respond to that text? Of course,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to respond to that text. You're beating
Speaker 1: me in he was beating you. You got angry, he
Speaker 1: got full for I wasn't even calling you out. I
Speaker 1: was just propping myself up. Publish your rankings, bro, all right, dude,
Speaker 1: hold yourself accountable. Greg I do you you know me?
Speaker 1: You know my rankings. They are what they are, man,
Speaker 1: So you make the color coded rankings obviously for the draft.
Speaker 1: You do that each week. No, it's no way. Now.
Speaker 1: I was working very hard on QB tight end and
Speaker 1: defense last well, rank He's be ready for tomorrow show.
Speaker 1: That's the point. Definitely will have the players that are
Speaker 1: playing the Thursday night ranking for you. Ally. We'll talk

Speaker 1: we are entering week two. You have fifteen dollars of
Speaker 1: fabrine in it? Okay? Uh well, Greg, I know you've
Speaker 1: spoken about my feelings unfab before. I really think this
Speaker 1: fantasy money really is just a fantasy. Um. I think
Speaker 1: even by week one, I think most people have the
Speaker 1: handcuffs that they're gonna want to be picking up my
Speaker 1: No injuries happen all year, but those are just my beliefs.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean, I know, I know you
Speaker 1: look at definitely and I do you spent forty seven
Speaker 1: dollars on Philip Lindsay. Yeah, you'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: you like last year, how about paid for him? I
Speaker 1: was been I would have spend all my money on Camara.
Speaker 1: But you think Philip Lindsay will be Alvin Camara is
Speaker 1: what you're saying? You never know. We won't know until
Speaker 1: we know. That's that's that's true. I guess what and
Speaker 1: if you become, if hecomes the next camera, then that
Speaker 1: forty seven dollars as well worth? It? Was it? Not? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: You also spent thirteen dollars on your boy Jerry Cooks.
Speaker 1: That's exciting. Let's I got as a Mary Coopy Cooper owner,
Speaker 1: you know, get a little nervous, gotta pick up another
Speaker 1: another receiver over there, that tight end. Well, let me
Speaker 1: let me ask you. Let me ask you this. Max.
Speaker 1: You're you're an owner of in our league, your owner
Speaker 1: of Mary Cooper and Derrick Henry, two players were going
Speaker 1: to talk about on today's show on a scale board
Speaker 1: of the tend How how nervous are you on those
Speaker 1: two guys? Um, well, just keep my pants a little
Speaker 1: bit hearing both their names in the same sentence. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still confident with Cooper. I'm also still
Speaker 1: confident Henry because we wouldn't be having this conversation right
Speaker 1: now if Henry had that sick to your a touchdown
Speaker 1: called back from Dlaney Walker which really wasn't really you know,
Speaker 1: really wasn't a whole he was getting face mask. But
Speaker 1: I can't it's a little bit of you know, bs um.
Speaker 1: I personally have been a fan of Henry. I had
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray on that breakout season. Was that two
Speaker 1: years ago? Now? Um, I wanted to own Henry then.
Speaker 1: Always been a fan. I think the kid is just
Speaker 1: a He's a beast, and you know, I believe in him.
Speaker 1: I know there are stats. I know you can see,
Speaker 1: you know, shareholding, snap counts, blah blah blah, But I
Speaker 1: believe in you know, what you see is what you know,
Speaker 1: and this guy, he's got it. And I really think,
Speaker 1: you know, Week one is a little scary, but I
Speaker 1: really just see him churning the engines and and really
Speaker 1: getting there. Were like the football, right, we're gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna move on. Mask. You have any partying thoughts on
Speaker 1: your team, and we're about anything before we let you go. Yeah, Frankie,
Speaker 1: listen to this trade offer. I was offered for what
Speaker 1: did Geronomo Allison by Gweggy over here for Amari Cooper?
Speaker 1: He said it was a very fair trade. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that's a w R three in a crowded offense for
Speaker 1: I think a low end, high end uh, you know,
Speaker 1: wide receiver too. What would you what would you do there? Right?
Speaker 1: You offered him to Roonimo Allison for Mary Cooper and
Speaker 1: my response, my response was you sneaky, sneak. My response
Speaker 1: was I wanted to see where he valued Mary Cooper.
Speaker 1: All right, I mean, look, if you're just throwing it
Speaker 1: out there and you knew that he wasn't actually going
Speaker 1: to accept it. He followed that up by offering me
Speaker 1: a Mariy Cooper and Cam Newton for Antonio Brown. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's a fun game, right, you throw one trap
Speaker 1: off for one way, you throw another trap off for
Speaker 1: the other way. And then he was offered this morning
Speaker 1: by another member of our league. He was offered ridiculous.
Speaker 1: What was this was Dalvin Cook Brandon Cooks? It was?
Speaker 1: It was, it was, It was Hopkins, Freeman and Crowete
Speaker 1: Freeman for I believe Dalvin Cook. He gives up Hopkins,
Speaker 1: gives up Hopkins, DeVante Freeman and Isaiah for a Cook
Speaker 1: and do a fun league. Looks. Max actually made a
Speaker 1: trade already on Monday, even fab and making trades. I
Speaker 1: love it, he does. He loves to make trades. Um.
Speaker 1: He made a trade. He traded Evan Ingram Away for
Speaker 1: Isaiah Crowe. L because you're tighten now as a result
Speaker 1: of that, I have Cook and I have Iford, Jerry
Speaker 1: Cook and Tyler Effort. It's not terrible if you need
Speaker 1: the running back help. I think it's fair. Made it before.
Speaker 1: I think both players were kind of going in the
Speaker 1: same range during the draft too, like the seventh round.
Speaker 1: I agree, I thought it was I thought it was
Speaker 1: a fair trade. I agree that good the job. Max.
Speaker 1: We appreciate the call, buddy, and I'll talk to you.
Speaker 1: There you go, Max, Maze, There you go. Yeah, Max,
Speaker 1: if you ever want to come buy the studio, you
Speaker 1: you buy us both a beer. We'll buy you a beer.
Speaker 1: I also want Max Colin in five weeks when we
Speaker 1: when we know that Philip Lindsay is not I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll be happy to or he'll just clip that sound
Speaker 1: by doubt when Philip Lindsay's like the RB one. If
Speaker 1: that happens on on him host for me. He can
Speaker 1: come in and host. He can hold the whole soul
Speaker 1: by himself. He can take my spot for a whole day.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Mark Cooper and Derry Cannery, two players on
Speaker 1: Max's team, and I asked him as Mary Cooper and
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry owner, like what is his confidence level? And
Speaker 1: he he's still excited about both of his players. And
Speaker 1: I get it. He drafted them two weeks ago, three
Speaker 1: weeks ago, um, and you're excited about them. Frank, let
Speaker 1: me start with the Marik Cooper with you you were
Speaker 1: yesterday was all about look at the matchup. Look how
Speaker 1: bad the matchup was for him. He was not going
Speaker 1: to succeed in this type of atmosphere. Of course, over
Speaker 1: the last two days since the game, John Green's obviously
Speaker 1: deflected all problems away from himself, saying I wasn't the problem,
Speaker 1: but admitted that we have to find a way to
Speaker 1: get a Mark Cooper more involved. Where are you Mary
Speaker 1: Cooper now? A day later, after you've had a data process, Yes,
Speaker 1: so I was actually pretty the more I looked into
Speaker 1: it last night, Um, the more worried I actually became,
Speaker 1: because I just don't know when you're gonna feel good
Speaker 1: about starting a Mari Cooper right, Like he's facing the
Speaker 1: Broncos this week, he faces I believe it's Xavier Howard
Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins the week after. And look, Exavien
Speaker 1: Howard is no Patrick Peterson, He's no um amazing shutdown corner.
Speaker 1: But he has been improving and you know he he
Speaker 1: held Corey Davis to less than fifty percent of his
Speaker 1: catches last week. So and then I think it's the
Speaker 1: charges the week after that, so it's Casey Hayward and
Speaker 1: maybe we should have been more on top of that that,
Speaker 1: Like he's still going to see the corners in this
Speaker 1: division in the a f C West, So I'm a
Speaker 1: little worried about it. The one thing that I will
Speaker 1: take away as a good thing, and it's just per
Speaker 1: Pat Thorman PFF Mark Cooper read of his routes in
Speaker 1: the slot in week one, which seems awesome, right because
Speaker 1: last year I believe that percentage was right around Yeah,
Speaker 1: So they're getting more creative with with Marik Cooper the
Speaker 1: pet News his Derek Carling targeted, targeted him once out
Speaker 1: of the slot. Now they have Bradley Roby on the outside.
Speaker 1: Um No, last week they had Marcus Peters on the outside.
Speaker 1: They had obviously keep to Leap on the outside, So
Speaker 1: it makes sense that they wanted to move him into
Speaker 1: the slot to try and get him open. But if
Speaker 1: you move him there and then you don't even draw
Speaker 1: a place for him, or if Derek Carr isn't even
Speaker 1: targeting him, I mean you're doing something for nothing anyway.
Speaker 1: So look, we mentioned Jared Cook doing what he did
Speaker 1: as part of a game plan for the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: because they knew how good the outside cornerbacks were. Jordy
Speaker 1: Nelson was targeted, not targeted much in that game either.
Speaker 1: He only had four targets. So I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: worried about Amark Cooper. I don't think there's there's no
Speaker 1: way you can feel as confident as you were like
Speaker 1: before the season. He was a high end wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: Right now, I don't feel as good about that. Yesterday
Speaker 1: I said he's still a wide receiver too, and he's
Speaker 1: probably still in that range low end wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: I'm worried. I mean, he needs to come out this week,
Speaker 1: whether he's open or not. Derek Harr needs to target
Speaker 1: this guy eight ten times. We absolutely need to see
Speaker 1: that in week two. The fields totally totally agree. He
Speaker 1: actually made a trade offer involving him as well. You
Speaker 1: can be a Robert Woods. We got a Mark Cooper.
Speaker 1: Even if it's like three thirty seven, at least was
Speaker 1: like targeted nine times. Like he made it all over
Speaker 1: the field. We need to see the usage. I actually
Speaker 1: offered Floria in the Flex League ye yesterday, you know
Speaker 1: mini Flex, well I did before the season started. I
Speaker 1: offered you Jordan Howard for Davonce Ham. I countered that
Speaker 1: with Thine. It was Fitzgerald for Alex Collins or something
Speaker 1: like that. It wasn't crazy. It still looking crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got fits Sheld in the fifth round and
Speaker 1: I got who cares about? Who cares you? I could
Speaker 1: have taken now round you got four of the season started, Okay,
Speaker 1: we saw in week one, make the trade now no,
Speaker 1: I offered Florio, Alex Collins and a Marii Cooper or
Speaker 1: one of his DeAndre Hopkins or Oldell Beckham, Mark Cooper
Speaker 1: and Hoover did for those ships Alex Collins, Alex Collins
Speaker 1: and Mary Coop. His running backs are Rashod Penny, Ronald Jones,
Speaker 1: Isaiah crow L, Carlos Hide and has really good wide receivers.
Speaker 1: So me and him have like the opposite of teams
Speaker 1: like us. I didn't didn't. I didn't expect to take it. Now.
Speaker 1: It just kind of threw it out there because I
Speaker 1: know Michael Florio is a Marii Cooper truth, so it
Speaker 1: would be interesting to see how Michae Florio feels about
Speaker 1: Amory Cooper. Right now, let me go to the other
Speaker 1: player that Knax has on his team. That's that's Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: He did a sixty yard touched and take him back
Speaker 1: on a phantom phantom Delaney Walker holding penalty. Um, that
Speaker 1: won't be possible anymore because Delaney Walker out for the year.
Speaker 1: They force fed Derrick Henry the ball early on and
Speaker 1: then after that he didn't get the ball anymore. As
Speaker 1: Florio Texas this morning. He played just twenty nine percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps for the Titans offense on Sunday. I
Speaker 1: know it's been a start, a sloppy starting, stop game
Speaker 1: with all the delays and O Marcus Mariota got hurt um.
Speaker 1: But that has to be concerning that number twenty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it absolutely is pretty much Dean Lewis percent Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: So it was a completely even split. They didn't play
Speaker 1: on the field together. Seventies thirty in favor of D. M. Lewis,
Speaker 1: and I mentioned yesterday for the Tennessee Titans, it's very
Speaker 1: similar to the Oakland Raiders. It's going to be game
Speaker 1: flow dependent and that's going to be hard to tell because,
Speaker 1: as you know, Greg, the NFL on any even Sunday
Speaker 1: is completely unpredictable. I mean, the Tennessee Titans can come
Speaker 1: out one week and end up smashing a team that
Speaker 1: we didn't expect that to happen with. So for running backs,
Speaker 1: that are going to be game flow dependent when you
Speaker 1: can't predict game flow. I mean, as much as we
Speaker 1: try to, like we look at point spreads and we say,
Speaker 1: you know what we would have said last week, Greg,
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints are ten point favorites. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be running out the clock in the fourth quarter with
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. What happened then they were chasing points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Mind you,
Speaker 1: those guys still had great weeks because the New Orleans Saints,
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are not the New Orleans Saints. So
Speaker 1: I think I'm more so worried about Derrick Henry than
Speaker 1: mm Amari Cooper. And I'll ask you if you feel
Speaker 1: the same way about it. But I mean, for a
Speaker 1: running back situation where you were drafting Derrick Henry on
Speaker 1: the third, late third, early fourth round that has now
Speaker 1: seemed like he is game flow dependent. I do not
Speaker 1: feel good about that. Now. I feel terrible about Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to Max before the show started
Speaker 1: and he was like, I don't understand. You love Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry coming into week one, like you were really high
Speaker 1: on him. What change? And I go, I didn't expect
Speaker 1: the usage, Like I thought Derrick Henry would be the guy,
Speaker 1: Like I thought what we saw in that opening quarter
Speaker 1: for Tennessee was going to be the deal throughout the game,
Speaker 1: Like that's exactly what I expected. That was a weird games,
Speaker 1: Like that's why I pressed for seven hours. They were
Speaker 1: trailing points. Marcus Mariota left the game with injury, so
Speaker 1: it was a super super weird game for the Titans.
Speaker 1: And maybe this is an overreaction because I actually thought
Speaker 1: the Titans would be pretty competitive this year. I had
Speaker 1: them as one of my wild card teams. I could
Speaker 1: have seen them going nine and seven. So maybe there
Speaker 1: are a lot of games where they're actually in or
Speaker 1: they're in close games, or they're winning a lot of games.
Speaker 1: And in those games, Derrick Henry is going to be great.
Speaker 1: But after Week one, Tennessee Titans, and if they don't
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, that means they're gould be coming from
Speaker 1: behind a lot more. And and no idea what marks
Speaker 1: Barriot is injuries right now? He's expected to play? Is
Speaker 1: he practicing today? I didn't see any practice reports yet
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans. Try and find that though. Speaking
Speaker 1: of practice reports and how I know how, a practice
Speaker 1: report from Atlanta, as Dan Quinn says, running back DeVante
Speaker 1: Freeman will not practice today. He is sore. Though everything
Speaker 1: is structurally sound for DeVante Freeman. Um everything looks like
Speaker 1: he's okay. The downside of that is the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: I had now a week off essentially right like they
Speaker 1: played last Thursday and haven't played since. Everybody else played
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, Freeman still not practicing. How concerned are
Speaker 1: you with your boy? Not my boy? Certainly not my boy.
Speaker 1: I should ask you how you feel about him. You
Speaker 1: knew I didn't really like DeVonta Freeman already coming in.
Speaker 1: He had the concussion injuries, he was dealing with knee
Speaker 1: injuries last year, especially for a running back. He was
Speaker 1: already dealing with a bum me. And not only that,
Speaker 1: he has Tevin Coleman breathing down his neck, he has
Speaker 1: the fact that Steve Sarkisian does not call a bunch
Speaker 1: of passing plays involving Devontae Freeman anymore. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, he's facing the Carolina Panthers front seven this week.
Speaker 1: I do not feel good about Devonce Freeman in Week two.
Speaker 1: If he's out, Kevin Coleman is easily a top twenty,
Speaker 1: maybe top fifteen. You don't care about Carolina defense anymore.
Speaker 1: I's out, no, because I know that Kevin Coleman's gonna
Speaker 1: see twenty plus touches if Devonce Freeman is not there.
Speaker 1: So the the usage and the opportunity outweighs the bad matchup.
Speaker 1: It does sound like he's going to be okay, but
Speaker 1: the question is how limited will he be this weekend,
Speaker 1: especially if Kevin Colan starts rolling right like they probably
Speaker 1: make sure that Devonte Freeman gets healthy still early in
Speaker 1: the year. It takes one bad tweek for him to
Speaker 1: be out of the game again, like we saw week
Speaker 1: one against Eagles. You know it's it's to me. It
Speaker 1: does bother me a bit. This is a nashlute disaster. Greg.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I let you talk us into
Speaker 1: drafting DeVonta Freeman. Why do we do that? Well, it's
Speaker 1: because you maybe draft Antonio Brown. Well, we sort of
Speaker 1: started wide receiver wide receiver, like I told you, and
Speaker 1: we would head Antonio Brandon, Keenan Allen then our top
Speaker 1: running back in with Alex Collins. Well, kend Of Dixon's
Speaker 1: out a few weeks. We're looking about that. Let me
Speaker 1: let me go to your boy, Alex. Honestly, right now,
Speaker 1: who do you feel better about? Alex Collins or DeVante
Speaker 1: Freeman in the vacuum, who do you feel better about?
Speaker 1: Probably Alex Collins? But like, are we were drafted around
Speaker 1: the park? I know that, But are we overreacting a
Speaker 1: bit with Deavante Freeman? I know you were not in
Speaker 1: on him coming into the year. But it's a knee injury.
Speaker 1: I understand that everything seemed structurally sound. He should be okay.
Speaker 1: Like it's one week and Davante Freeman had four goal
Speaker 1: line chances. Like, I understand he got hurt, but he
Speaker 1: had four goal line chances and didn't. It was It
Speaker 1: was bad. It was bad play calling. Greg reminder, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be bad play calling all season long because these
Speaker 1: Sarcasians there. Vonta Freeman had three red zone carries in
Speaker 1: week one. Mhm. He was tied for dud boards if league.
Speaker 1: There was a bunch of people who had three carry's
Speaker 1: inside the twenty, including Joe Mixon, sa Quon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: Alan Kamara. Let me continue on the negatives. Are they
Speaker 1: real right? Let me get a Chris Hogan for instance,
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan had one cash this week faced Jacksonville. How
Speaker 1: concerned are you about Ris Hogan? Yeah? This is pretty bad.
Speaker 1: This is bad, especially because, as I mentioned yesterday, we
Speaker 1: were expecting Chris hogans who really really help us out
Speaker 1: most in the first four weeks of the season, where
Speaker 1: there was no Julian Edelman on this team, and now
Speaker 1: one week after putting up a dud five targets, fourth
Speaker 1: on the team in terms of targets in Week one
Speaker 1: one reception eleven yards, he goes up against Dalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now I spoke to Jim Day
Speaker 1: about this on Monday, and he said, look, Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: is extremely smart. If he saw something on film that
Speaker 1: said not to use Chris Hogan in week one and
Speaker 1: use guys like Philip Lindsay and James White and the
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lindsay on the mind Philip dorf Set and and
Speaker 1: if Chris Hogan wasn't part of the game plan, and
Speaker 1: he would, he just wasn't gonna be targeted. Now, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe they bounced back in week two and they find
Speaker 1: something on film where Chris Hogan is part of the
Speaker 1: game plan. I just don't see how that's possible, right,
Speaker 1: if he's matched up with Jalen Ramsey or a j. Booyer,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, they can move him inside
Speaker 1: the slot if they want to. But as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: door Set was running a lot of the slot in
Speaker 1: week one, which we didn't really expect. So maybe they
Speaker 1: get creative, they change things up one week to the next.
Speaker 1: Maybe they moved or set more so to the outside
Speaker 1: and they run Chris Hogan in the slot. Again, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna know that until once the game starts. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is not going to show his hands a
Speaker 1: lot of negative right there with Hogan and Cooper and Henry.
Speaker 1: There's some positives too over the weekend. Were that was
Speaker 1: that real? We'll try to break that down when we returned.

Speaker 1: a stat in the day an I want to the
Speaker 1: opportunity to read it, and it has to do with
Speaker 1: someone we're constantly debating whether he's real or fake himself.
Speaker 1: Bigfoot that is Jared Cook. And I wanted to mention
Speaker 1: that the Broncos allowed a hundred and sixteen yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown to Seahawks tight ends last week. Reminder that
Speaker 1: was Will dis Lee and Nick Vannette, who I think
Speaker 1: only called sixteen of those yard and everything else was
Speaker 1: Will dis Lee, but still they got torched by Will
Speaker 1: this Lee. Jared Cook faces Denver in Week two, one
Speaker 1: week after playing ninety point five percent of the snaps
Speaker 1: and seeing of the target share. Actually have Jared Cook
Speaker 1: rank inside my top twelve tight end this week. Right,
Speaker 1: you're buying the big Foot, and I think it's a
Speaker 1: very very similar situation to last week. Right. The Broncos
Speaker 1: have strong clues on the outside. They have Chris Harris,
Speaker 1: they have Bradley Roby. Roby wasn't amazing in week one,
Speaker 1: but they still do value those cornerbacks in Denver a
Speaker 1: whole a whole lot so um. They showed that there's
Speaker 1: one area that where they do struggle, it's against tight ends.
Speaker 1: I think Jared Cook can have another solid game. He
Speaker 1: has a good chance to show that he's not big
Speaker 1: foot after all. In Week two, Greg, So if you
Speaker 1: picked him up, he's he's just barely inside my top twelve.
Speaker 1: I think I have him as my twelfth ranked tight end.
Speaker 1: But I think there's actually some decent streamers this week.
Speaker 1: Actually I lied, Now I can't do Actually did I
Speaker 1: moved Jared all the way up to number nine? This
Speaker 1: debate was intern was amazing. This is what I do
Speaker 1: when I'm at home, too, Like, do I want to
Speaker 1: move that guy up that high? I have Jared Cook
Speaker 1: rans my ninth tight end this week, the head of
Speaker 1: Kyle Ruff and Evan Ingram. You look at me like
Speaker 1: I'm crazy. I don't know, people, Kyl usage is very
Speaker 1: scared people at Kyle Rudolph because this usage wasn't used
Speaker 1: in the preseason at all. There were plenty of reports
Speaker 1: that came out that said Kirk Cousins and are not
Speaker 1: on the same page, that they were not hooking up
Speaker 1: in practice throughout training camp, and Kirk Cousins has looked
Speaker 1: great throwing the ball to his steavers in Adam Feeland
Speaker 1: and Stefon Dix and targeted Dalwin Cook a ton in
Speaker 1: that first game so I mean a lot of those
Speaker 1: shorts intermediate stuff if that, if those are going to
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling and Dalwin Cook rather than you know, Kyle Rudolph.
Speaker 1: Rudolph's really just going to be a boom or bust
Speaker 1: if he scores a touchdown. And I know you say
Speaker 1: that about a lot of tight ends. I was expecting
Speaker 1: kyro have to be much more involved between the twenties
Speaker 1: as well, just based on the usage we saw out
Speaker 1: of Jordan Read when Kirk Cousins was with Washington. That
Speaker 1: has not been the case so far in the preseason
Speaker 1: and so far in Week one between Kyle Roff and
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I'm a little bit worried about that situation
Speaker 1: right now. I think it's fair. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see the chemistry developed. I'm not worried about Kyle Rudolph
Speaker 1: yet he scored touchdown. I'm not worried about it. Man.
Speaker 1: Is that I believe that was his loan target of
Speaker 1: the game. I thought he was. He was one of
Speaker 1: two targets now sorry, Greg, one of two targets. Two targets.
Speaker 1: Jerk Cook was targeted twelve times. I know, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not expecting twelve targets a game, but I think we
Speaker 1: could see six through eight six eight targets for Jared
Speaker 1: Cooking week two. I think that's a real possibility. And
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I don't, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't diagree with you. Two targets four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six st seven nine four four three six s
Speaker 1: seven nine. Let me get some of the good stuff
Speaker 1: from over the week, and were talking about this during
Speaker 1: the break. Which one of these guys did you start?
Speaker 1: And one of the players you included was Kenny Stills
Speaker 1: who had five targets, third on the team, but the
Speaker 1: four receptions for hundred and six yards and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: A lot of fantasy owners absolutely love Kenny Stills coming
Speaker 1: into this year, and for good reason. Javante Parker not
Speaker 1: expected to play once again this weekend. Kenny Stills. I
Speaker 1: guess the factor. Number one wide receiver on this team
Speaker 1: is Kenny Stills for real? I think so, especially based
Speaker 1: on the snap percentage as well. Here with the Dolphins
Speaker 1: wide receivers, Kenny Stills lad all Dolphins wide receivers with
Speaker 1: ninety five point one six percent of the snaps. The
Speaker 1: next closest was Danny Amondolo with Selbert Wilson to Keem
Speaker 1: Grant forty. You want to see the targets go up
Speaker 1: four and he stills, but you love that he was
Speaker 1: both targeted down the field and he was targeted inside
Speaker 1: the red zone and converted both of those into touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So when you give a wide receiver opportunities and they
Speaker 1: make plays and they capitalize on those, that's going to
Speaker 1: leave to more opportunities. Obviously, it just came out today
Speaker 1: as well that Adam Gates and Ryan Tannehill have a
Speaker 1: lot of trust in Kenny Stills. It's clear. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: once you make plays like that, you're going to earn
Speaker 1: yourself more opportunities. And I think that's exactly what Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: He was already the player on the wide receiver who
Speaker 1: was playing the most on this team based on the
Speaker 1: snap percentage. So I do expect him to be, you know,
Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver three this week going up
Speaker 1: against New Jack City the Jets secondary. Greggy, we're still
Speaker 1: doing this? What do you mean we're still doing this?
Speaker 1: It just started. It was the second time you mentioned
Speaker 1: it now, well I mentioned it during the break. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I mentioned it during the break. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you know, our listeners and watchers know that I call
Speaker 1: him new Jack City. You just wanted to hit your
Speaker 1: point across. Well, I mean it's pretty fun. I'm a
Speaker 1: Jets fan as well. What's the name of the Giants secondary? Bad?
Speaker 1: There's some bad apples in that secondary. Greg Eli Apple
Speaker 1: preayed a pretty good game in Week one, though, Tyry
Speaker 1: Kiel much that he did it in Week one last
Speaker 1: year was a superstar. We were thought we're killing ourselves
Speaker 1: after Week went last year for not believing in Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill as a potential wide receiver. One we're doing it
Speaker 1: again this year, as he had eight targets, seven receptions,
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty nine yards, two touchdowns, leading the
Speaker 1: team in every statistical category, so much so that Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt was an afterthought. Of course, Tyreek Hill also started
Speaker 1: off the game with a ninety one yard punt return
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He was re Dick, you lust, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna have three touchdowns every week. But we once
Speaker 1: again underestimate Tyreek Hill. Yeah, we absolutely did. And you
Speaker 1: know we saw it more as preseason went on, um
Speaker 1: that he was going to be the go to guy.
Speaker 1: For Patrick Mahomes, and it absolutely seems like he is.
Speaker 1: I mean, with that being said, he played seventy pent
Speaker 1: of the offensive snaps at wide receiver. Sammy Watkins actually played,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. Sammy Watkins is a ghost. He's
Speaker 1: on the field of the plays. That's more plays than
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. To to put that in perspective, that's eleven
Speaker 1: more plays where he's on the field. Mhm. And he
Speaker 1: was gonna significantly less the entiree Hill was in this game.
Speaker 1: So I believe Entyreek Hill um. The fact that he
Speaker 1: did it against Casey Hayward and a Charger secondary, I
Speaker 1: think that just proves that he can do it against anybody.
Speaker 1: He's matchup proof. He really needed a hundred and five
Speaker 1: targets last year to be a top five wide receiver.
Speaker 1: The eight targets in Week one. If he gets that
Speaker 1: throughout the season, that will put him on pace for
Speaker 1: about you know, a hundred and twenty close to that.
Speaker 1: And if he does that, he's a top five wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Once again, Greg, I ask you, I asked him Davis
Speaker 1: on Monday as well. Is he the most electric player
Speaker 1: you've ever watched play the rocket that we're talking it's
Speaker 1: Tyree killing electrifying player I've ever seen. No, He's not,
Speaker 1: would be Michael Michael Gettest Prime was the most electrifying
Speaker 1: player I've ever seen. Yeah, that's hard to argue. A
Speaker 1: name that came to my mind was Chris Johnson. It
Speaker 1: just makes something out of nothing, score from anywhere on
Speaker 1: the field, ninety touched on at any point. He was
Speaker 1: a guy that could run one way, reverted back the
Speaker 1: other way to take it ninety yards to the house.
Speaker 1: He was a name that came to mind. But man,
Speaker 1: he's up there. I mean, Tyreek kills something. They come
Speaker 1: all other running backs and I'm just having this picture
Speaker 1: of them doing the exact same thing, running one way,
Speaker 1: running all the way. Russell Wilson is very electrifying as well,
Speaker 1: and thinking about other quarterbacks is more electing. Absolutely. I
Speaker 1: just like those are guys that immediately came to mind
Speaker 1: for me. I think he's efficiency proof. Obviously, we have
Speaker 1: all these stats. This is one of the players where
Speaker 1: that Max was talking about, where this is the eye test.
Speaker 1: We're like the efficiency numbers and everything that we say, oh,
Speaker 1: regression is coming. We said the same thing from Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara needed seventeen touches to put up forty six
Speaker 1: PPR points in Week one. Greg. The same thing goes
Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hilly only needs eight targets to put up
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards and two touchdowns. Easy player. He's
Speaker 1: not a guy that's going to regrets because he can
Speaker 1: just score from anywhere on the field. And we've seen
Speaker 1: that for you know, two seasons. Now. Let me ask
Speaker 1: been another player that didn't exactly have as much usage
Speaker 1: but still produced a lot, and that was Isaiah Crewell
Speaker 1: who had ten ten touches, a hundred and two yards
Speaker 1: rushing uh and two touchdowns. He got a goal line
Speaker 1: carry and he bursted down the right signling for like
Speaker 1: a sixty yard touchdown or so only ten carries and
Speaker 1: blow Powell once again got the start for the Jets.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned by the fact that Powell is extremely
Speaker 1: involved or are you unconcerned because of how good Crow
Speaker 1: was when he didn't notshtable. So this is kind of
Speaker 1: a I am concerned, but I'm not concerned. I'll show
Speaker 1: you why, and it's because they both played the snaps
Speaker 1: and both looked extremely explosive. But what I will say
Speaker 1: is that Isaiah Crewell saw four carries inside the red
Speaker 1: zone on Monday and Blue Pala saw zero, And I
Speaker 1: know one of those was during a drive. I think
Speaker 1: he got poked in the eye and you saw him
Speaker 1: go to the sideline and he was kind of like
Speaker 1: pointing to his face that tell me had happened. Um,
Speaker 1: maybe if that didn't happen, they would have just left
Speaker 1: ball Power on the field for that drive. But it
Speaker 1: seemed like whenever they got inside the red zone, Isaiah
Speaker 1: Crowell was the go to guy. And plus you saw
Speaker 1: the explosiveness law Power looks Clive as well, but just
Speaker 1: to be able to score a six dr touchdown um
Speaker 1: from Isaiah Crowell and the way that they used him
Speaker 1: in the preseason, you know, lining him up as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I'm very excited about both of these guys.
Speaker 1: I still do think that they're both high end running
Speaker 1: back threes. They're gonna be flex plays weekend and week out.
Speaker 1: But if something were to happen to law Powell or
Speaker 1: vice versa, I think either one of these guys moves
Speaker 1: up as a top one running back. But regardless, I
Speaker 1: think their flex plays weekend and week out. I'm okay
Speaker 1: with that, I'm okay with that. Um, with that, let's
Speaker 1: sign off YouTube for now. Come up next Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Frenzy with of course the Fantasy Executive Corey Parson, the
Speaker 1: Closer Chris Ventra, and the Fantasy Task Gym Day. They
Speaker 1: will answer all of your questions, take your calls, do
Speaker 1: their thing. If you're listening to us live on the radio,
Speaker 1: live on a podcast, we'll be here for the next
Speaker 1: five minutes to make sure you give us a like,
Speaker 1: subscribe to our channel and make sure you give us
Speaker 1: five stars and leave a comment. For the rest of
Speaker 1: the show, we get to you and four, three, six, seven, nine,
Speaker 1: and we begin with Devin and san Antonio. What's going on? Devon?
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you all today? Doing? Great? Man?
Speaker 1: All right, So, I'm in a two flex league ten
Speaker 1: tempting to flex uh full point ppr um. I just
Speaker 1: lost Billaney Walker and UM, I'm thinking about pairing a
Speaker 1: couple of my running backs together to trade for a
Speaker 1: better tight end, maybe like a Kelsey or a Jordan
Speaker 1: read My running backs right now are like Melvin Gordon, Kenyan,
Speaker 1: Drake j j I e mark Ingram, Aaron Jones, and
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman. So do you think I should uh pair
Speaker 1: like two of those running backs together to go for
Speaker 1: like a Kelsey Or do you think I actually just
Speaker 1: like grab somebody off Waivers? To me, I like, I
Speaker 1: like the death a lot and why you can do
Speaker 1: the Kelsey thing? They got to go after Waivers. I
Speaker 1: would save this depth a little bit longer, see what
Speaker 1: it turns into. You know, who knows what a JI
Speaker 1: will ultimately be. Kenyan Drake kind of has to figure
Speaker 1: his stuff out. You don't have more Ingram back until
Speaker 1: week five, and he's gonna buying week six. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hold with your death and I'd rather spend some money
Speaker 1: in the waiver wire. I'm with you, Greg, I don't
Speaker 1: mind shopping these guys though, like I throw them out.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it two for one. I would. I
Speaker 1: think one of Roy's Freeman, Kenyan Drake, j j I,
Speaker 1: one of those guys can easily bring you back a
Speaker 1: you know, top three, top five tight end. I think
Speaker 1: that's fair to say. Probably trade you certainly trade like
Speaker 1: a Royce freeman for like Evan Ingram, if you wanted
Speaker 1: to do it right now, I wouldn't do that. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you will, and I say I could. Zach
Speaker 1: Ertz makes more sense something like that. Why is zacharts
Speaker 1: owner doing that though? I mean they were both like,
Speaker 1: I don't care where they were drafted, dude, there's nothing
Speaker 1: to me anymore. Just look at the way that they
Speaker 1: were using Week one two and Royce Freeman Still. I
Speaker 1: saw a stat yesterday from Brad Evans he saw the
Speaker 1: highest percentage of stacked fronts in Week one. Still ran
Speaker 1: fifteen times for seventy one years. To Phillip Lindsay, that's
Speaker 1: nearly yeah, but he didn't see the same number of
Speaker 1: stacked fronts. Basically, when Royce Freeman was on the field,
Speaker 1: the teams knew that they were running the ball, and
Speaker 1: he was still able to run fifteen times for seventy
Speaker 1: one yards, which is nearly five yards of pop. So
Speaker 1: I feel good about Royce Freeman. I actually think, you know,
Speaker 1: if someone's freaking out about him right now because of Lindsay,
Speaker 1: I would look to buy low on him. I think
Speaker 1: that's a I think that's a good decision right now.
Speaker 1: But I think that you can turn one of these
Speaker 1: running backs, even if it's j J. I. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to sell high on a GI to
Speaker 1: get like zach Ertz, so you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about your tight end position all year long. You can
Speaker 1: do that. I'm with you. I would keep the running
Speaker 1: back depth though, and just kind of pick up a
Speaker 1: tight end off the waiver wide. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of guys from Jared Cook, John Who Smith, obviously, Ian Thomas.
Speaker 1: Take a shot on one of these guys. See what
Speaker 1: happens in week two. Maybe that guy pops off and
Speaker 1: then you it turns out that you have a borderline
Speaker 1: tight in one for the rest of the year, if
Speaker 1: not later on, once you get marking them back, make
Speaker 1: a trade and you can lock down your tight end position.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Patrick in Florida. Let's go to Patrick.
Speaker 1: What's happening? Man? Hey, So I have about eight wide
Speaker 1: receivers on my roster and I'm looking to start three
Speaker 1: of them. I wanted to know what you guys thought.
Speaker 1: I got the Landry Holiday locket, Chris Hogan, Bunches, Godwin
Speaker 1: and Allison. Do you gotta start three of those eight? Obviously,
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry immediately goes into your lineup. So that's seven, um,
Speaker 1: two guys, Frankie, Chris Godwin, John Wall Allison, Devin Funches,
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, Tyler Lockett, and Kenny Dolladay picked two. It's Golliday, Locket, Hogan, Hogan,
Speaker 1: Hogan's out, Hogan's out. Okay, Um Collie going up against
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Tyler Lockett going up against Chicago in Chicago.
Speaker 1: This is such a mismuch of like wide receiver threes
Speaker 1: to me, the next guy in the I'm putting in.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna agree with this. Functions out.
Speaker 1: I'm putting Chris Godwin. I'm putting in Nevin Funches. I
Speaker 1: feel good about Funches with alt Greg Olson. He's facing Atlanta.
Speaker 1: That's not scary by any means, whatever, whatever, there's whatever. Um,
Speaker 1: I think I would go Golliday and Godwin. I think
Speaker 1: I would go, But it's close. I mean, all these
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be ranked very closely. Yeah, if Sean
Speaker 1: Jackson doesn't play, I would I would go Godwin and Funcious.
Speaker 1: That's fair. I don't expect to Sewan Jackson to play.
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a concustion. It just came out. He's
Speaker 1: dealing with a shoulder injury as well. Toronimo Allison going
Speaker 1: up against the Vikings outside cornerbacks. We liked him as
Speaker 1: a waiver A. He's the third though, he's the third
Speaker 1: wide receiver, which could be good because Adamson could be rude.
Speaker 1: This is more so a match up for Randall cop
Speaker 1: because they use him more so in the slot. UM,
Speaker 1: and he's not going to see one of Xavier Rose
Speaker 1: or Trey Wayne's in that matchup. Kenny Gollady, we saw
Speaker 1: his usage in week one. I don't think the forty
Speaker 1: nine secondary is that great. Um, even if they use
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman. I think he'll be more so on Marvin Jones.
Speaker 1: So I like Holliday a lot this week. Blockett is
Speaker 1: there too, But um, if John Jackson's out, I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of opportunities for Chris Godwin this week.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, UM, we're gonna more start and say,
Speaker 1: of course over the next two days we're an answer
Speaker 1: all of your questions. I know I obviously have a
Speaker 1: bunch of questions. You obviously don't like Chris Hogan this
Speaker 1: week against Jacksonville. Like for me on my team, like
Speaker 1: the other options I have are Cooper Cup, Cooper Cup,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Cooper Cup and johnom Allison. I could start.
Speaker 1: I like Brandon and Brandon Marshall. I like the Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup a lot too, don't matter if I also Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: I would start cup Ed Woods. You know, I looked
Speaker 1: at I asked you during the break, who is going
Speaker 1: to match up with Patrick Peterson this week? Root Bobolks
Speaker 1: has Robert Woods match up with Patrick Peters, So maybe
Speaker 1: you start again. That's something where we won't know until
Speaker 1: the game starts. Yeah. Obviously defensive coordinators Steve Wilkes obviously
Speaker 1: a defensive mind for Arizona. We don't know what he's thinking.
Speaker 1: He can easily be saying, I'm gonna take Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: out of this game. Let me let me have Robert
Speaker 1: Woods or Cooper Cup trying to beat me. I think
Speaker 1: my team is to get a wil this week. Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup is the one that I you safest about of
Speaker 1: all the receivers because he's gonna match up with Udha Baker,
Speaker 1: which is actually could match up this long. All right,
Speaker 1: there you go, Fantasy football frenzy comes your way next
Speaker 1: for Frank Stamford. My name is Greg Susman. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, for watching and listening the fantasy best friends Forever.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope.
