1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Wow Wow, Hey everybody, It's Thursday, October nineteenth, twenty twenty three. 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's being your 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: Man MG. Marcus Grant to join by Michael f Florio 4 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 2: on the show. Today, we are previewing the late Sunday 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: games and the Monday night matchup. Plus we're giving you 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: our fantasy heroes for Week seven. Well, let's look at 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 2: some streaming options for Week seven. A little thing we 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: like to call field and stream where we give you 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: some sort of stop gap solutions at the quarterback, tight end, 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: and defense special teams position. So let's start a quarterback. 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: If you are out there looking for a streaming option, 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: where might you go this week? To Washington? 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 3: Because we want to pick on this New York Giants 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: team as a whole this week. And Sam Howe has 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: been playing really good football as of late, at least 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: for fantasy purposes. He's topped eighteen fantasy points in four 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: of his last five, including one game over twenty five 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: and that span he is three games with over two 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety passing yards and three games with multiple 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: passing touchdowns. We know he could add some value with 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: his legs as well, and again, the Giants are not 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: a defense that should scare you by any stretch. So 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: continue to ride with Sam Howe. 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: I do like Sam Howe. I just need for the 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: commanders to keep him upright. He's on pace to be 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: sacked ninety six times. That's a lot of times. They 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: should probably avoid doing that. For me for picking on defenses, 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick on the Broncos defense. And so that 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: means Jordan Love is a streaming option for you. Now. 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: The chances are he may be on someone else's roster, 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: but take a look. Maybe he's hanging out on the 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: waiver wires somewhere. The Broncos defense, I don't know if 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: you've heard this, but it's bad. They're giving up a 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: lot of points and a lot of yards. And even 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: if you take out that seventy point awfulness that they 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: did against the Miami Dolphins, they're still bad. And I 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: know that Jordan Love has kind of had some hiccups 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: since that's good art to the season, but they've had 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: a buy to sort of get right, maybe work on 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: some things, and they get a great matchup coming out 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: of it. So maybe you are losing Joe Burrow or 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott or somebody like that. This week, Jordan Love 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: has a really good chance to put up a decent 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: number for you in fantasy. So that is the quarterback 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: spot tight end. Okay, so full disclosure. I see this 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: name here and I very nearly put him in my 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: sleeper's column and I didn't have the stones to do it. 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: So kudos to you for pumping this up for a streamer. 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: Look, this is one We're gonna get a little crazy here, 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: and it's not a very safe floor at all. But 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: Taysom Hill he is in play as a streaming tight 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 3: end this week. He ran thirty three routes last week 53 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: and had eight targets that tied Michael Thomas for the 54 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: second most on the team. Only chrys Olave had more. 55 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: He caught seven of them for forty nine yards. He 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: also threw a pass, He carried the ball, and that 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: is the thing. He is a Swiss army knife. So 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: right now he is getting tight ends. And you have 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: to check on Juwan Johnson's status coming into Thursday, but 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: if he is out, we're gonna see Taysom Hill being 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: used as a tight end. He also could be used 62 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: as a quarterback. He could be used as a goal 63 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: line runner. The floor again is next to nothing, but 64 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: the ceiling is pretty high. There's upside here to be had. 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: He was a top six fantasy tight end last week. 66 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 3: Let's get a little wild and six teams are on 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: by come on. 68 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Like I said, I've really looked at putting him in 69 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: the sleeper's column this week. I didn't quite do it. 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: I mean, full disclosure. Actually pivoted to Foster Moreau, which 71 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: could be equally as daunting. But you know, there was 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: a very real possibility that Taysom Hill could do Taysom 73 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: Hill things. I'm gonna stick with this whole picking on 74 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: the Broncos thing though, and I'm gonna give you Luke 75 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: Musgrave as a streamer, and it just has felt like 76 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: he's on the verge of a breakout the last few weeks. 77 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: Week three, he gave you double digit fantasy points. Week four, 78 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: we all loved him. Unfortunately he suffered a concussion early 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: in that game, didn't get a whole lot of chance 80 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: to play. Comes back the following week and gives you 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: about nine and a half fantasy points. Again. The Packers 82 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: coming off a by chance to work on some things 83 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: we have seen plenty of rookies sort of get a 84 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: bump in what they do offensively after the bye, so 85 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: there is that opportunity. Meanwhile, the Broncos giving up nearly 86 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: sixteen and a half fantasy points per game to the 87 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: tight end position. So if you are looking to stream 88 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: Luke Musgrave, I mean over guys maybe like zach Ertz 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: or a lot of these middling tight ends that are 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: leaving you sort of disappointed each and every week. So 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: all right, so that gets us to defense. You mentioned 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: picking on the Giants. It seems like a theme here. 93 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna go with the Commander's defense here as well. 94 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: Why because Giants they have been sacked the second most 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: in the league this year at thirty three times. They 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: also have turnover problems, they don't score a lot of points, 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 3: and they've twice this year already allowed an opposing defense 98 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: to get over thirty Fantasy points. That is the type 99 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: of performance from your defense that just wins you a week. 100 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: So even if they might they come through with like 101 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: ten or eleven, but they have the chance to completely 102 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: change your week. 103 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: So I like streaming defenses against the Giants. So it 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: definitely makes a lot of sense the Giants are bad, 105 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: and even with Tyrod Taylor they looked better and they 106 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: still only scored nine points last week. So you mentioned 107 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: that the Giants have given up these second most sacks 108 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: in the league. You know who's given up the most, 109 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: the Commanders. So for that reason, I think you can 110 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: stream the Giants. I think this game is going to 111 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: be wild right because I think I think Sam Howell 112 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones have sleeper potential. But I also think 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: the Commanders and Giants defenses are both streamers. This game 114 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: might just be bunkers. It might if you love terrible 115 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: football in the worst way, you might want to tune 116 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: into this game. But the Commander's giving up a ton 117 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 2: of sacks, and the Giants have suddenly become a turnover 118 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: machine in terms of at least getting takeaways. They didn't 119 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: have a takeaway at all for the first four games 120 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: of the season. They have five turnovers forced in the 121 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: last two weeks. So the Giants might maybe I'm not 122 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: gonna say they're a great defense. I'm not even gonna 123 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: say they're a good defense, but they're playing an offense 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: that has flaws, and that might be enough to get 125 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: you some fantasy points if you're using them to stream, 126 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: So Commander Giants, if you love wacky football that who 127 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: does you? Who doesn't love wacky football? All Right, we 128 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: are not done yet. We're gonna come back and talk 129 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: about the rest of the Sunday slate as well as 130 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: a Monday night game. Looking at the late slate of 131 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: games on Sunday, the Steelers and the Rams from right 132 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: next door to where we sit over at so Far Stadium, 133 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: the window for Deontay Johnson to get back on the 134 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: field is open, twenty one day window is available. Do 135 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 2: we start him against the Rams? And what about any 136 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: other Steelers pass catchers? 137 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: So deont I think it depends on the size of 138 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 3: your league and the situation that you're in. Like I 139 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: play in a twelve team league with expanded rosters, multiple flexs, 140 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 3: so's it's pretty deep, and I've been waiting on Deoncey 141 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: Johnson and I'm going to start him. But if you're 142 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: in like a shallower league or something like that, and 143 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: you're like debating another option, I don't think it's ever 144 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: a bad idea, especially a player coming off of a 145 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: hamstring injury, to take a little bit of a wait 146 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: and see approach. But if I'm starting any of their receivers, 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: I think it's Johnson. George Pickens to me, now just 148 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: becomes a boomer bust option again because Johnson I still 149 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: expect to be the target vacuum there. If Rarn with plays, 150 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: I don't want to start him. I'm not bullish on 151 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: either of the running backs, so it's kind of Johnson 152 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: or Buster right now. 153 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: I don't want any running backs in Pittsburgh. I'm pretty 154 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: much done with him. I've washed my hands of both 155 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: Naziaris and Jalen Warren. At this point, I would start 156 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson. I'm curious to see if they have him 157 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: on some sort of a pitch count, and at least 158 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: for this week, I would still be willing to start 159 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: George Pickens because he's been very good so far this year. 160 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: I just want to know what the usage for both 161 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: of these guys is going to be in terms of one, 162 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: how much they're on the field, but also what sort 163 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: of routes they're running, because without Johnson, Pickens has running 164 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: a wide variety of routes and that's helped him get 165 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: targets last year when they were together. Basically they just 166 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: had George Pickens running wind sprints, like just want to go, 167 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: just run straight and every once in a while we'll 168 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: throw it to you. If that's what they go back to, 169 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: then I don't want George Pickens anymore, and it's gonna 170 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: be Deontay Johnson. But I'm willing to give Pickens the 171 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: start this week just to see if maybe Matt Canada 172 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: has worked on some things where both these guys can 173 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: be productive for the rest of the season. So that's 174 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: that's kind of how I feel about that. 175 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: George Pickens last year was like the reason we started 176 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: the cardio king segment. 177 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because he was just doing it every week. The 178 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: dude was just running sprints. You know. It's like it's 179 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: like that thing when you play with like, you know, 180 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: younger kids, you're like your younger sibling. You're like, go deep, 181 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: but I'll throw it to you and then you just, 182 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: you know, put the ball down, comes back to can 183 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: you pick like you never threw him? What happened? Yeah, 184 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: That's that's kind of what George Pickens was last year. 185 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: Cardinals at the Seahawks. Interesting matchup in the NFC West, 186 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: uh A good matchup, at least on paper for the 187 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: Cardinals wide receivers because the Seahawks have struggled in the secondary. 188 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: Does that mean you can stream Michael Wilson this week? 189 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: I think so. 190 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: And Michael Wilson outside of the one week where we 191 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: all hyped him up after he caught the two touchdowns 192 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: and was a big waiver wire name and gave us 193 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: a zero, he has been pretty reliable. He's top nine 194 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: points in three of his last four. And shout out 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: to a front of the show Jake Seely, for putting 196 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: this out. The Seahawks run the highest amount of zone 197 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: coverage at eighty five percent. Every single Michael Wilson catch 198 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: this year, I could not believe it has come against 199 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 3: zone coverage. He does not even catch against man coverage. 200 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: So this feels like a week you could get Michael 201 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: Wilson in your lineup. 202 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: I feel like we shouldn't have said that out loud, 203 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: just in case Pete Carroll is watching this show and 204 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: then decides to put man coverage on Michael Wilson. He'd 205 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: skipped that part that we didn't mean that, Pete. We 206 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: didn't mean that. Ah, I mean, look, full disclosure. I've 207 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: got Michael Wilson in the Sleepers column this week, which 208 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: you can find at NFL dot com slash Sleepers when 209 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 2: it is out on Thursday. So yeah, of course I 210 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: think you can stream Michael Wilson this week because the 211 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: matchup is so good and really, for the most part, 212 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 2: the Cardinals was trying to get him more integrated into 213 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: the offense. That was a thing that Josh Dobbs said 214 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: out loud himself that they've got to get him more 215 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: or involved. They want to work on getting him the 216 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: football more. So I do think Michael Wilson is very 217 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: much in play this week Packers at the Broncos. Look, 218 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: I said earlier that you can stream Jordan Love against 219 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: that bad Broncos defense, But let's look at the Broncos 220 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: running backs because it looked like a three headed monster 221 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: last week between Javonte Williams, Jalia McLoughlin, and samij p Ryan. 222 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: Is there one of that group that you like more 223 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: than the others? 224 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 3: It would be Julia McLaughlin just because him and Javonte 225 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: were the ones that played the heavier side of the snaps. 226 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: Samaje p Ryan was to clear cut number three. Javonte 227 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 3: had you know, more production on the ground, but McLaughlin 228 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: was involved in the passing game, and he is just, 229 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 3: in my opinion, by far, I would say, the most 230 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: explosive of those options. So if I'm playing anyone, I want, 231 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: especially against the Packers, I want someone who could catch 232 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: passes and someone who could potentially break a long run. 233 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: That pass catching part is the reason that I'm going 234 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 2: with mcli because, as you mentioned, these snaps mostly went 235 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: to Williams and McLoughlin. It was Williams they got the 236 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: majority of the rushing attempts, although look McLoughlin did get 237 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: some carries, but he's the guy who's getting the targets there. 238 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: And if I'm going to pick between two guys who 239 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: have very similar utilization, I want the guy who's going 240 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: to catch the football more because, no matter how you 241 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: feel about PPR, we live in a PPR world, so 242 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: those guys who could catches have a little bit more value. 243 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 2: Samaj p Ryan, Look, I don't know that you can 244 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: make a case to really keep him on a lot 245 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: of rosters. I would just prefer if Sean Pate would 246 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: just make it a two man backfield, so that way 247 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: we wouldn't we wouldn't even have this headache of trying 248 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: to figure out which one we want to play, But 249 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: I think it's McLoughlin there, followed closely by Javonte Williams. 250 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: Big matchup in the AFC West, The Chargers head to 251 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. Chargers coming off 252 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: that heartbreaking loss to the Cowboys. I meanwhile the Chiefs 253 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: trying to figure out their wide receiver situation. Are there 254 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: any wide receivers for Kansas City? You would start? 255 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: I think Rashi Rice and Kadarius Tony are both in plays. 256 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: Is like a little bit sneakier options. But I feel 257 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: better about Rashi Rice, And I know that's shocking for 258 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 3: me to say. It's not a talent thing or anything 259 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: like that. It's just the way that they are using 260 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 3: these two because Tony and Rice are neither one are 261 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: on the field a ton but when they're out there, 262 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: they are generating targets for them. But last week we 263 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: did see Rice run the second most routes amongst Chiefs receivers. 264 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: He had the second most yards on the team. They 265 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 3: use him a little bit more downfield than they do Tony. 266 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: But I think both are sneaky because the Chargers have 267 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 3: allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers. 268 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: I do like the way you're thinking about this, right. 269 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 2: And what I think is funny though, is when you 270 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: look at the chief stats, you look at these targets 271 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: per route run percentage, right, and for guys like Rashi 272 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: Rice and like Kadarius Tony, you see like it's a 273 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: big number. It's in like the mid to high twenties. 274 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: You're like, well, that's great, and then you see the 275 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: number of routes they're running and you're like, oh, they're 276 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: never out there, but when they are, as you mentioned, 277 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: the ball tends to be coming their way. I do 278 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 2: think Rashi Rice is sort of becoming the wide receiver one. 279 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: I specify that right because the number one pass catcher 280 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: is Travis Kelcey. For she Rice is the wide receiver one. 281 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: Knarious Tony getting some looks there. I would say, if 282 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: you want a deep sleeper, if you want to get 283 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: really weird, I would go back to Justin Watson this 284 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: week because he doesn't get a lot of targets, but 285 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: they're all like thirty yards down the field, you know, 286 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: So if you just want to pick up yards in 287 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: a hurry and maybe have a chance at a deep touchdown. 288 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: If there's a broken coverage or a mistackle, Justin Watson 289 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: could be your guy. I will also say that I 290 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 2: take a little bit of perverse joy every week and 291 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: the Sleepers column trying to pick one Chiefs receiver that 292 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: I think is going to go off, like it's it's 293 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: a little game. Look I'm gonna lie. I'm not gonna 294 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 2: lie to you. Sometimes the things that I write are 295 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: just for me because they entertain me. And picking a 296 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: Chiefs receiver every single week it entertains me. The thing 297 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: about the Chiefs receivers is like they'll throw Rice and 298 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: Tony very limited on the field, but when they are 299 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: they're like, we need to get these But then they 300 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: don't take mvs are sky more off the field and 301 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, we're never throwing these guys the ball, 302 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: So doesn't make sense. I really hope marcz Valdez Scantling 303 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: has a fit Bit sponsorship because that dude's out there 304 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: just running with no purpose a lot, I mean, just 305 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 2: getting his cardio in every single week. So I hope 306 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: he's getting the sponsorship out of it. If nothing else, 307 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, this one is going to be good. 308 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: The Dolphins at the Eagles, two of the more explosive 309 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: offenses in the NFL. You've got two alpha wide receivers 310 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: in Tyreek Hill and AJ Brown, You've got very good 311 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: secondary receivers. You've got very good quarterbacks. So are we 312 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: just starting everybody in this one? Yeah? 313 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: Pretty much like both quarterbacks are must starts. DeAndre Swift 314 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: and Raheem Mostered are must starts. AJ Brown and Tyreek 315 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: Hill obviously, but Jalen Wattle and DeVonta Smith they're in 316 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: a position where they could each have a big game 317 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: just off of long balls and touchdowns. And I'm going 318 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 3: with Dallas Goddard. There's not a Dolphins tight end you 319 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: would even consider starting. They don't use it. I would 320 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: set the defenses, which is no big deal for the 321 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: Dolphins because they're just a defense that you could stream 322 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: in the right matchup. But the Eagles are pretty much 323 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: a defense that you start every week without question. I 324 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: do not against the Dolphins. I mean, they lead the 325 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: league in passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, they're barely taking any sacks. 326 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: Like there's no reason to start them. 327 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's one that I would try to 328 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: get away from if I could don't drop them if 329 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: you can still hold on to them, like hold on 330 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: to the Eagles defense. But this is a week where, yeah, 331 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: maybe it's a little bit sketchy to have them in 332 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: your lineup because the Dolphins are just so explosive. We 333 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: are on Tyreek Hill. Watch. By the way, no wide 334 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: receiver in NFL history has had one thousand yards within 335 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: the first eight games of the season. Tyreek Hill is 336 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: six games in. He is at eight hundred and fourteen 337 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: yards right now, so he gets two games to try 338 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: to pick up one hundred and eighty six yards and 339 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: he has four games this year already with over one 340 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. Yes, I mean it's like theoretically he 341 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: could do it this week, but you gotta believe, barring 342 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: something really crazy or you know, Heaven forbid an injury, 343 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: a thousand yards in the first eight games is very 344 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: much in play for Tyreek Hill this year. That's that's 345 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: an insane thought. 346 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: The crazy thing is on the other side in this game. 347 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: Aj Brown, who is nowhere close to Tyreek Hill, has 348 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 3: six hundred and seventy two yards through six games. 349 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: Like, wow, craziness, just insane. How good these guys have 350 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: been to start the season Monday Night football the forty 351 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: nine Ers at the Vikings. This is the last game 352 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: on the slate, but maybe has the biggest question involved 353 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: because Deebo Samuel went out with an injury. Christian McCaffrey 354 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: went out with an injury. I know the Niners are 355 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: saying that things look okay for Deebo, that he avoided 356 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: anything major, he should be able to go for CMC. 357 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: They're kind of quiet, but there is some thought that 358 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: he could be ready to go, that it might just 359 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: be an issue of pain tolerance and pain management. But 360 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: it's Monday night, so this is your last chance to 361 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: kind of figure things out. What do you do in 362 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: terms of having a plan if you are thinking about 363 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: starting either DEBO or CMC Deebo? 364 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 3: I think one that the news sounds a little bit better, 365 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: like you said, but also it's easier to get away 366 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: from him, like he is not a must start, and 367 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: in a lot of instances when a player we don't 368 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 3: know if they're gonna play on Monday Night, I choose 369 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: to play it safe and go with someone else. I'm 370 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 3: not doing that with Christian McCaffrey. What I'm gonna do 371 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: is I'm gonna go out and try to pick up 372 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 3: either Jordan Madison or Elijah Mitchell. Hopefully you got one 373 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 3: of those two off the waiver wire. If not cam Akers, yeah, 374 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: kJ Osborne maybe in shallower leagues might be out there, 375 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 3: but you need to have someone else on your roster 376 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: that is playing on Monday night that you could pivot to. Obviously, 377 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 3: if it's not CMC, you might be taking an l there. 378 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: But Christian McCaffrey is worth the risk. He's absolutely worth 379 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: waiting on. I mean, there are a lot of times 380 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: you've got a. 381 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 2: Guy on Monday and you're not sure, and it's like, 382 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: maybe it's kind of a mid level guy, like you 383 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: go on you make the move on Sunday and you 384 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: just sort of deal with it. Not Christian McCaffrey, you're 385 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: talking about it. Who could be the fantasy MVP based 386 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: on his production. Wait as long as you can before 387 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: you have to make a decision. And so, like Mike say, 388 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: if you got to go to the waiver wire and 389 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: get another forty nine er, get another Viking, you do that. 390 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 2: You have that in your pocket so that when we 391 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: get inactives and you find out that McCaffrey is or 392 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: is not playing, You can go on ahead and make 393 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: that move. You don't want to get caught out. You 394 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: don't want to have to take the zero if you 395 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: don't have to, But you also don't want to make 396 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 2: the decision earlier than you need to, just in case 397 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: CMC is out there on the field. We know that 398 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: he's been a fantasy hero for a lot of us 399 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: throughout the season. But it's time now. I'm gonna see 400 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: who will deliver presented by Uber Eats, the guys that 401 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: will put on the cape and cowl and bring you 402 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 2: to safety, whisk you to fantasy victory. So for you, 403 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: who is going to be your fantasy avenger this week? 404 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: All superheroes come from Florida. We know that, and that 405 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: is why Marquise Brown is my Fantasy Hero of the 406 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: Week one. Marquis Brown has been playing better than I 407 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: think a lot of people really. I know he had 408 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: a down game last week, but eleven targets should not 409 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 3: be ignored. He has topped sixteen fantasy points in the 410 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 3: four games prior to that, with a touchdown in three 411 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 3: of them, and that matters because the Seahawks have allowed 412 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: the second most fantasy points per game the receivers and 413 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: the third most touchdowns, and if they're in ketchup MO two, 414 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: that only helps. 415 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: I think this is a big week for Marquis Brown absolutely. 416 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: I mean, if we were willing to stream Michael Wilson, 417 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: we should absolutely be willing to start Marquise Brown. We 418 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: should also be willing to start Jalen Waddle against the 419 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: Eagle secondary because it has not been great this season. 420 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: And look, we haven't seen the big blow up game 421 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: from Jalen Waddle yet this year, but it feels like 422 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: it's coming. They're getting him more involved. I know he's 423 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: missed a couple of games because of injury. He's back, 424 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: he's healthy, he's getting targets. Yes, Tyreek Hill is going 425 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: to get his because that is what he does. But 426 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle, I think is in a big spot to 427 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 2: get a big fantasy game going this week in a 428 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: game that I think is going to have a very 429 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: high point total between the Dolphins and the Eagles. So 430 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: there you go. That was Who Will Deliver presented by 431 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: Uber Eats, where you can get almost almost anything, the 432 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: official on demand delivery partner of the NFL.
