Yeah, I mean there's still uh, some 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.040 decisions that got to be made, some news coming out. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:24.080 Boone might be the starter. Oh jeez, that is a 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.079 wild week. It's crazy because we're talking about it yesterday. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.519 I don't know if I've ever had this good of 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.120 a team going into the finals. And the truth is, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.120 it's a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare. And I'm sure 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.760 there's people out there listening to the show you're in 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.040 the same position. I just rather not have these decisions. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.639 I've got to make the decision. It's do or die. Uh. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.880 This is, you know, the final week, the championship matchup, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.360 and uh, you know, I made the right decisions and 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.440 that's why I'm in this position. But now it's a man, 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.520 it's crazy, man. There's a lot of decisions that've gotta 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.400 be made. This is what you get for having such 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.359 a good team. E y. True, it's tough. It's a 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.919 tough spot to be true. I played in a ten 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.800 team dynasty league. I had to leave the league because 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.480 I kept losing every single week because I couldn't figure 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.240 out who to start ten team leagues. It's like your 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.040 entire team is stacked. Your bench is stacked. Do you 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.639 think it's hard enough trying to figure out who to 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.639 start a twelve team league? You might have good players 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.480 on your bench there. When you play in a ten 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.480 team league, it is so hard to make decisions every 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.920 single week because everybody in your lineup and on your 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.079 bench is great. That's why I always try my dest 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.600 anyway going into the playoffs to consolidate that depth, right. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.280 I don't need it theoretically in the in the playoffs 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.840 your hand, you don't need depth at all, and trade 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.240 them all the way for starters and pray and yeah 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.280 or else you end up with a dilemma like e wise, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.040 where your team is so stacked you don't know what 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:46.680 to do exactly. It is depth, but it's it's all 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.440 starter depth. I mean like people in my bedroom now, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.080 McLaurin all day, uh Amundula, who had an unreal week? 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:58.000 Matt uh is it? Matt Mike Boone, coach Boone, Mike 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960 Mike Boon Like it's crazy, it's crazy. It's just crazy. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 My two flex are Drake and Sanders. It's it's wild. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.400 I have a ton of depth, but it's all you know, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.240 there's a bunch of starters are people that did really 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.000 well last week, so you have to question it. It's crazy. Man. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.240 Like everyone, you just want to make the right decision, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.040 and that's what you want, almost more than anything else, 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:19.960 is if your team is good enough, it's good enough, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.080 it's not good enough, it's it's not good enough, that's fine, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.640 But you want to make the right decision. That's almost 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.800 scarcely more than anything rank. Yeah, obviously, um, this is 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.440 the final week. It all comes down to this. You know, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.800 all the pressure is writing on this. People are gonna 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.240 overthink decisions. They're gonna flip flop, you know, who to 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.360 start in their flex wide receivers, back and forth, this person, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.560 this person. Ultimately, look ride the hot hand, go with 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.239 the best matchups. It doesn't matter if you drafted Levian 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.160 Bell in the first round, Odell Beckham in the first round. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.000 If you drafted those guys, you're probably not in the 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.760 finals anyway, unless, of course, you looked out with Lamar Jackson. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.960 But it doesn't matter where you drafted players. At this point, 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.039 you're gonna take the players who are being used in 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.479 the right way in the right matchups, and you're not 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.880 gonna think a second. You're not gonna think twice about it, Greg, No, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.159 you're not. You're just you're gonna put yourself in the 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.240 best position to win. That is legitimately all you can do, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.480 and then you just hope everything else works out. I 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.120 say we jump in, Greg. I know we only got 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.000 a few minutes here before we hit the break, but 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.080 I think we should try and start this final game 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.400 on the Saturday night. We didn't. We didn't get to 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.360 a yesterday. I got a lot to get to. We 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.880 got a lot to get to we do. So let's 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.000 start where we left off a Saturday night football. The 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.080 Rams and the San Francisco four isners. Rams are six 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.160 and a half for an underdog in this one. For 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.480 a fantasy perspective, I know a lot of fantasy owners 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.480 are gonna live or die with what Cooper Cup does 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.640 for these Rams team facing off against San Francisco defense 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.839 that without Richard German has not been the same exactly. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.479 There's one right there. He's sitting right here, living and 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.599 dying with what Cooper Cup will do. What do you 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.760 expect of the Rams wide receivers in a particular Cooper Cup. Yeah, 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.360 I'm down on Cooper Cup heading into Week sixteen. I 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.039 have them as my wide receiver. It was just the 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:00.559 biggest pause. It's just I have happened. I have Cooper 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.200 Cup as my wide receiver thirty. I have him ten 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.160 spots lower than the consensus according to Fantasy Pros rankings. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.800 San Francisco has been great against thought receivers all year. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.279 It doesn't matter that Richard Sherman uh is potentially out 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.880 in this game because he plays on the outside. So 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.280 I think if anything that helps Robert Woods. I still 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.760 do like Robert Woods. The targets have been up for him. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.839 He's still a high end wide receiver too. For me. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.599 I know he was a dud last week. A lot 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 of wide receivers were duds in Week fifteen. We gotta 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.040 put that behind us. I think you saw what Julio 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.280 Jones did as an outside wide receiver against his forty 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.800 Niners defense, and I like Robert Woods. I'm going back 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.239 to him. Can't say the same thing about Cooper Cup. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.239 Cups snaps were back up last week, but the targets 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.480 were down for him. Higbie still saw big volume. Robert 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.039 Woods still saw big volume in this game, So I 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.679 like Robert Woods not necessarily the same about Cooper cup 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.800 Here in this matchup Greg and Todd Gurley, it's a 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.560 tougher matchup, but this guy is scoring touchdowns, man. I 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.479 mean he has five touchdowns in his last five games. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.000 He has fifty one red zone opportunities. ALcom Brown has fifteen. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.239 So whatever concerns we had early on in the season, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.720 we don't have those anymore. Todd Gurley has twelve total 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.080 touchdowns on the season. I think he's a high end 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.720 RB two. It's still a tougher matchup, but he sees 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.920 those money touches in the red zone, so because of that, 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.640 I think Gurly is a high end RB two Greg. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.160 The biggest question is how much does Gerald Everett affect 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.240 Tyler Higbee, And I think it's a legitimate one. I 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.800 still have Higbee ranked as a top eight tight end, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.680 but I don't feel nearly as confident as I have 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.760 the past couple of weeks. Is there any way that 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.800 the RAM screw this up? Yes, very very very possible. Right. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.520 It was only a few weeks back when Gerald Everett 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.720 was the shirt fire starter. Like we like, Gerald, every 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.960 wasn't traded for Gerald every he started, Gerald Everett confidently 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.560 now you don't know what to do. Unfortunately, with Everett 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.240 back in the lineup, Tyler Higby has been unbelievable over 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.160 the past month. Have my tight ends? Seven? That's too high? Seven, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.600 Tyler Higbee? Seven? Probably a bit high for me? Yes, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.720 probably a little bit high. I'll mention a few tight 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.080 ends that I have behind him when we get back 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.840 from the break, and we'll see you guys, agree, Gain 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.120 in the San Francisco side as well, and a whole 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.240 lot more to come, including what's going on with d J. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:10.960 Chark and Jacksonville. We'll tell you next.

This is Sports Grade. Get on the Grade. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:09:07.360 Well well, well, welcome back to the fantasy best friend forever. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.280 Here on the Sports Group TV Network, Brek Susman marching 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.400 his way, beating up the tree over there back to 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.720 his side, still standing. They're still standing. Let's go may 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.760 things standing. The poor star on top is now facing 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.120 the opposite direction. What are you doing? Great? Beating everything up? 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.800 So for the rank you're gonna ga be some names 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.720 at the tight end position who you have currently ranked after? 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.480 I have Tyler Higbee as my seventh rank tight end. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.160 I have him just behind Darren Waller and Hunter Henry. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.560 I have him just ahead of Jacob Hollister, Jared Cook, 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.560 Austin Hooper, Dallas Goddard. So I think I'd rather have 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.720 almost all of them. Really, Yeah, I don't know, man. 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.360 I mean, this guy is playing the snaps over the 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.960 last three weeks. I understand it's without Everett, but over 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.960 a hundred yards he's played so well and he's really 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.160 been the turnaround for this Rams offense. It's been great. Man. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.839 With Gerald Evert back, that changes and Cooper Cup is 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.840 back in the mitch. The only the only one that 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.640 I think that you can make the argument for is 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.360 Hollister because he's showing up against the Cardinals and Cook 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.000 usage isn't consistent. Obviously they're gonna use They're gonna use 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.120 Michael Thomas, They're gonna use Alvin Kamara. Hi, what about you? 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.720 I have Tyler Higby tight End seven just behind him, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:35.920 Hollister Cook Hooper. Does that make sense to you? Um? 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.160 He has been good. Uh. And I don't think a 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.760 lot of people realize like this guy got paid. You mean, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.040 like the Rams gave him a pile of money. So 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.720 I think they view him as a very important player 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.679 and not just a guy that's going to block. He's 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.320 going to catch passes. Um. But it has been up 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.680 and down. Everett was definitely the guy there. I know 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.720 we talked about him a bunch on the show he 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.560 took over. I know Higby was hurt, but he was 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.280 back and wasn't doing much. Now Higby has taken the 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.480 reins of the number one tight end there again, but 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.880 I don't know if I can trust him to be honest. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.640 And it's it's gonna be a weird It's gonna be 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.520 a weird game. You mean like, uh, it's gonna be one, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.000 it's gonna be handmre, it's gonna be cup um. So 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.920 it's gonna be difficult and San Francisco is one of 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.520 the best defense in the league. So the truth is is, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.080 other than maybe Woods, I don't know if I can 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.240 really trust any of them. That is the question that 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.480 you have e Y In regards to Cooper Cup, who 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.040 would you rather start this week? This question comes from Orrow, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:38.400 Eric Young, Frank, Cooper Cup, Robbie Anderson, Hayrol Williams, Anthony Miller, 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.400 Anthony Miller. No hesitation, No hesitation. Anthony Miller is outside 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.640 my top twenty four. The way to attack the chief 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:54.040 secondary Also say, Anthony Miller, what say you? It's your team? Uh? Yeah, 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.959 I mean the truth is that I've been thinking about 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.280 this all week. Anthony Miller is a guy that I 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.520 was super are, super high on. He's not going to 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.080 finish with the numbers that I was hoping for um 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.360 or the Chicago Bears were hoping for. But this is 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.839 the this is the Anthony Miller that I envisioned was 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.680 going to exist all season. I think the biggest part 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.880 of this was Rabinsky was an absolute nightmare. Frank Raisky 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.800 was rotten. He was a rotten quarterback. He has turned 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.440 it around. He has been decent um. And Anthony Miller 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.200 is a massive beneficiary of of him turning his season around. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.640 Anthony Miller scored. I think he had was it seven 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.120 or or ten touchdowns last year with one arm he 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.880 had surgery. Uh, he had shoulder shoulder surgery. I think 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.640 it was um and was played banged up all years. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.160 So I thought he was going to take a huge 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.480 step forward, and it looks like it is coming at 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:44.959 the end of the year. But that huge step forward 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.760 is happening for Anthony Millier. I'm moving him into my 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.480 number two wide receiver as we speak, Boys. He has 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.720 a hundred and forty receiving yards or a touchdown in 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.760 three straight games since Week eleven. He is the wide 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.280 receiver eight overall in PPR leagues. I'm going Anthony Miller 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.680 over Cooper Cup all right other side the San Francisco 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.120 forty Niners side. How high is where he most on 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.320 your rankings this week, Frank, I have him as my 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.560 RB twenties, so I think he is a solid low 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.080 end RB two. The usage has been there for him, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.200 playing over fifty of the snaps, which doesn't sound significant, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.200 but for a Kyle Shanahan running back in this offense, 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.839 it actually is. I mean, normally we'd be looking at 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.480 a you know, three way pretty even split, but he 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.960 is seeing over fifty percent of the snaps. He's dominating 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.679 in the red zone as well. It's a tougher match 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.400 up against the Rams. That's why I downgrade him a 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.719 little bit to RB twenty. But I still do think 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.600 that he is in this r B two territory. And 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.920 the Rams, as good as they have been against the run, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.439 you wouldn't be able to tell based on what happened 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.360 last week with Ezekiel Elliott Tony Pollard running all over them. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.920 So I do think there are some upside for explosive 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.880 place here for Whee most so, uh, I'm not completely 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.400 going away from him. I am worried about Deebo. Samuel 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.839 plays mostly on the outside. I think he could see 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.080 a lot of Jalen Ramsey here. If I had to 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.680 start one of the forty Niners wide receivers, it would 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.720 be Emmanuel Sanders as a low end wide receiver. Three. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.720 The way to attack the Rams is in the slot, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.920 and obviously you're using George Kittle all right, George Kittles 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.960 certainly in your lineups here. Emmanuel Sanders I think isn't 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.400 a big spot considering we don't both like, I know 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.160 this is big for you. I would use Sanders over 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.480 Julian Edelman. The question isn't that, Frank, it's Patrick Layard 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.640 or Julian Edelman. Oh gosh, exactly exactly. I would lean 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.560 with Layard, but I'm not going to don't feel great 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.480 about You're going down with the ship. I'll go down 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.080 with the ship. Edilmand over Patrick Larright, I would like 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.800 I was gasking season Greg, exactly. That's why I started 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.040 Julian Edelman. The thing is I would have started Jean 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.920 Perriman over Edelman if I would have gotten him. I didn't. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.320 Didn't save someone, save some of those fab dollars, Greg, 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.400 I didn't have a mad I tried. He's only to 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.040 spend it all on Drew Brees. Here we are, Hey, 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.760 Drew Brees helped you get to the final he did? 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.440 He did This week, Drew Brees in Tennessee to take 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.680 on the Titans. It's interesting game because the Saints, sorry 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.640 two and a half point favorite in Tennessee. E Why 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.240 we know that Drew Brees isn't same guy away from 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.880 the Superdome that he is inside of New Orleans. He's 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.440 in Tennessee or interesting spot, A tough spot? Are you 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.480 hesitant to start a guy like Drew Brees this week? 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.240 I think I've been oddly hesitant to start them all 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.760 year because he's definitely had games where you're like, oh, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.080 he's getting old or oh, you know they're a running 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.040 team now, So it's and then he comes out and 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.920 has a game like he had last week and you 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.440 feel foolish. So it's it's a it's a tough spot. Uh, 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.560 Tennessee's defense, they're missing a Dory Jackson. I don't know 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.400 if he's going to play. That's a big player in 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.400 their secondary. Um, so they are a little beat up 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.440 in the secondary position. But Tennessee's defense has been sneaky good. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.640 It's gonna be cold. Uh, you know they're playing here 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.640 in Tennessee, so it's outdoors. Um yeah, it's it's it's 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.520 a very interesting question. I don't know if I can 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.480 trust Drew Brees, but I feel like if he's your 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.320 quarterback and you don't have somebody else that's glaring, I 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.600 feel like you just go with it. The Tennessee Titans 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.680 are desperate. They've got to win their next two games. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.600 If they have a hope of being in the playoffs. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.320 So this is a desperate team with their with their 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.320 backs up against the wall, playing at home, and they're 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.160 they're going to They're going to come out and they're 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.680 going to score points. The question is if you have 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.400 Drew Brees, who are you starting over him? Right? Because 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.280 he just had that monster game. I guess it could 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.680 be a letdown spot going on the road after you know, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.960 breaking the record for most touchdowns by a quarterback in 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.120 NFL history. But you, I mean, you can speak to 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.920 this as well. The way to attack the Titans is 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.120 through the air. Their twenty two and past defense d 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.840 d A A. If there's anywhere where they do struggle 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.680 on defense, it's more so you know, against the past 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.480 than it is on the ground. They do allow a 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.840 lot of receptions to running backs, which is why I 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.800 still do like Kamara. I know he's been a letdown. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.840 He's not scoring touchdowns. And frankly, if you drafted Camara, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.200 you know, inside the top three picks, you might not 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.240 be in the finals right now because he hasn't been 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.920 scoring touchdowns. I saw an awesome suitet earlier this week. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.800 Greg his yards from scrimmage per game this year is 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.040 exactly the same that it has been his first two years. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.480 The only thing that's different is he's not scoring touchdowns, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.680 which matters for fantasy. But I mean, this is the 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.920 volatility of trying to predict touchdown on a yearly basis. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.840 So we knew some touchdown regression was gonna come for Kamara. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.960 I still do like him as a low n RB 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.000 one high n RB two, especially in PPR leagues. The 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.800 Titans do allow the second most receptions to running backs 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.240 this season. I just find it. I find it hard 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.000 pressed to believe that you will have a quarterback that 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.240 you will trust more than Drew Brees this week in 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.760 the spot You're probably right on the other side with 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.399 the Tennessee Titans. Ryan Tannehill A J. Brown? Are you 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.000 concerned with a J. Brown against Marshawn Lattimore? Where is 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.320 he ranked for you? So I am not concerned about 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.960 A J. Brown. I mean I have him as my 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.320 wide receiver twelve, and Fantasy pros consensus has some wide 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.880 receiver thirteen next year. I don't think that you can 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.120 get away from him. The way that he's playing right now. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.520 It's he is the main target in this offense. Ryan 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.199 Tannehill is playing well. Say whatever you want about him. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.960 Oh well, the wheels are gonna fall off at some point. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.919 It hasn't happened. I still have Tannehills my QB seven. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.679 The Saints defense is not play as well on the 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.640 road as they do inside the dome. I'm still I look, Ryan, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.680 Tannehill's got me this far. I think the past file 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.360 is gonna be there. The efficiency has been there. Him 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.320 and A. J. Brown are clicking. I think John hu 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.960 Smith is a decent streaming tight end. The Saints have 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.440 been good against tight ends, but they've been using John 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.440 Smith more. They're trying to find ways to get him involved. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.920 He had a fifty seven yard run last week. Obviously, 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.439 pay attention to Derrick Henry. I think it looks like 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.719 he's gonna go. But hamstring is still, you know, worry, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.520 So pay attention to that. But I think you continue 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.919 to roll with all these Titans that got you here. Greg, alright, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.560 fair enough when we come back, I'll give you that 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.560 up there.

Frank Stanfeld, Greg Susman, Eric Young, we 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.640 are all here. I have used it for a couple 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.479 of minutes now. But DJ Shark he's good to go 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.040 if they're missing one week. As long as he doesn't 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.439 have a set back today or tomorrow, Chark will be 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.359 in the lineup for the Jaguars this week against Atlanta. Frank, 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.120 where's DJ Chhark come in on your wide receiver rankings? 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.280 So I don't have DJ Chark ranked as high as 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.960 I normally do because he is coming back off the 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.440 injury and the Falcons secondary has played better against outside 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.840 wide receivers over the last eight weeks. Again, this comes 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.480 according to Graham Barfield. Follow him on Twitter. The Atlanta 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.040 Falcons have allowed the tenth fewest Fantasy points to wide 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.719 receivers to outside wide receivers over the last eight weeks, 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.520 so they have been tougher on the wide receiver position. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.720 So I have DJ Chark as my wide receiver twenty eight. 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.680 I think he is a solid wide receiver three, high 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.440 end wide receiver three. There's seven point dogs. I think 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:56.160 you should see some targets. Baby Shark. D J Chark 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.200 should see some targets here. There are seven point dogs 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.120 likely playing from behind. I think we get him back 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.119 and forth here. I like him, don't love him? Greg Alright, 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.000 fair enough, Now we were just talking to DeVante Freeman 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.040 on the other side of this. DeVante Freeman has we 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.879 loved this week of course, facing against Jacksonville, but has 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:14.239 not been able to get in the end zone all 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.680 that much of the season. How confident, Eric, are you 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.800 in DeVante Freeman this week? I mean, he hasn't done 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.840 anything to make you super confident, um, But but it 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.120 could be a big matchup that Jacksonville has been really 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.120 bad against the run. Freeman is the guy there. They're 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.399 going to rely on him, um, And it could be 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:34.840 one of those things where it's like, you know, eventually, 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.199 with the kind of volume he's been getting and stuff, 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.680 that he's going to score a touchdown. If you're starting 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:41.920 him this week, you're hoping it's this week because it 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:43.639 is do or die. But I don't know if I 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.880 can trust Freeman because he has not been super reliable, 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.520 and that's been going on all year. I understand why 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:51.800 people would be hesitant DeVante Freeman. You're right, e Y, 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.960 he hasn't been good all season long, right, plea, don't 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.840 let us talk us into drafting him again next year. Well, 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.280 I wasn't really on him. I mean, you guys lovet singly. Yes, 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.480 don't let me talk us in d Somebody downstairs clip 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.679 that out and I will remind Greg, Well, you know 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:12.200 whatte Freeman, he's gonna get the workload doesn't matter. I'm 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.360 asking you nicely. I do like DeVonta Freeman. This week. 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:16.840 I have him as RB eighteen. I think he's a 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.720 solid RB two. I tweeted this out last night drink 0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.320 that the Falcons have twelve red zone twelve rushing attempts 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.960 inside the five this year. DeVonta Freeman has one of them. 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.280 It's not very good. That's normally where he makes his 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.840 money inside the five, inside the red zone, so they 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.199 haven't been been using him that way. But I think 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.080 that he could break a long one in this game. 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.480 The Jaguars allowed the second highest yarks per carrier running 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.080 backs this year, their thirty first in run defense TV away. 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.119 If there's ever a week you're gonna use DeVonta Freeman, 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.320 it's this week, Craig, Yeah, it is this week against 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.400 Jacksonville the last couple of weeks. It's been a good 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:53.399 spot for for Um DeVante Freeman. We'll see you this 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.159 week if he can come through for your fantasy teams. 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:58.320 E Y has another question for us rank and that 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.040 takes us to another couple of games. Um. It raised 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.200 me to Philly and Dallas. We talked a lot about 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.920 Dak Prescott here this week, a lot about the quarterback situation. 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.000 But Eric's question is on the other side, with Philadelphia's 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.359 quarterback Carson Wentz. Would you rather start Carson Wentz or 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:17.119 Ryan Fitzpatrick. So this is a fair question. I have 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.720 these guys ranked within two spots. I have Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.760 QB eleven. I have Carson Wentz QB thirteen. I still 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:26.120 do worry about the weapons that Carson Wentz has here. 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:28.280 I can't really push the ball down the field. Yes, 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.560 he did it against Washington last week. Dallas's defense hasn't 0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:34.199 really shown up this year. They allowed some garbage time 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:38.720 production to Jared Goff last week, but ultimately it's a 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.520 lot of dinking dumps from Carson Wentz. Right now, I'm 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.160 gonna go with Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's the Bengals defense going 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:45.720 on the road. He's playing at home. You know the 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:48.240 past volume is gonna be there. For fits it's close. 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.000 I lean Fitzpatrick, how about you, Greg? Yeah, So for me, 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:55.000 I also go with Fitzpatrick with with all the weapons down. 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.200 For Carson Wentz just makes his job tougher. Yet. Yeah, 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.720 there's a whole lot of a lot of zach Urged there. 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:01.960 And yes we were relying on Greg Warring. He gets 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.320 to him in just a second, but I think he 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.480 just makes his job tougher. With Ryan fits Patrick, you 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:07.960 know what you're getting as well, a lot of Damonte 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.480 Parker here, which is okay, he's your boy, Y give 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.000 me Ryan f It's Patrick over Carson Wentz. Here. This 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.600 week I mentioned Greg Ward. How high is he unior rankings? 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:20.040 So Greg Ward is outside of my top thirty six. 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:24.240 Really he is, Actually he's he's just barely inside. He's 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:26.439 he's wide receiver thirty six exactly. So he's a low 0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:28.720 and wide receiver three players. I have him just ahead 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:34.000 of Robbie Anderson, Sterling Shepherd, Jamison Crowder, Deebo Samuel. He's 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.720 close with Sterling Shepherd. You know, Shepherd had the big 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.360 target game last week, but Greg Ward did as well. 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.560 And this is assuming that there's no Nelson Aglar, because 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.199 that would change things. But I've no no Nelson Aglar. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.119 Greg Ward is going to play in the slot and 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.080 that is an advantageous position to be in the way 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.439 to attack the Cowboys has been in the slot. I 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.400 said that whenever a month ago that it was Cole 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.880 Beasley had a big game against him. Cooper Cup scored 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.640 a touchdown at the slot last week against the Cowboys 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.720 in garbage time. And I think that if Aglaura is out, 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.600 greg Ward is likely going to see six to eight 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:06.520 targets once again, which makes him a low and wide 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.440 receiver three. On the other side with Dallas, we knew 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.640 that Dak Prescott was at least throwing the football today lately, 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.840 you can't really do You're probably gonna start Dak. I 0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.760 think if he starts, um, you can't really do anything. 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.000 With Mark Cooper, You're gonna throw him out there. Same 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.919 for Michael Gallup. Yeah, yeah, this is this is a 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:26.240 tough situation. This is a lot It's not the same 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.880 because obviously Dalvin Cook plays on Monday night. But this 0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:30.640 is one of the harder calls of the week because 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:34.159 it's a good matchup for Dak. The Philadelphia secondary has 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:37.320 struggled all season Longdac has been so good from a 0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:40.560 fantasy perspective this year, you gotta downgrade. And because of 0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:43.360 the injury, I haven't at QBA twelve. The only quarterback 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:45.600 stream that I have ahead of him is Ryan Fitzpatrick. 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.399 I'm not gonna get too cute with the Gardner Minshew 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.639 thing over Dak, but you worry about it. You just 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.760 hope that the that that matchup being as good as 0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.920 it is, is able to mitigate the injury risk here 0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.800 for Dak Prescott, And of course that means you downgrade 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:02.560 in Mark Cooper a little bit. He's a solid wide 0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:05.240 receiver too, rather than the wide receiver he one he 0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:07.960 has been. And Michael Gallup your downgrade to a wide 0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.399 receiver three. Greg Okay, Michael Gallup goes down to a 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.160 wide receiver three in this scenario, Mile Miles Sandars before 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.320 we leave this game, Miles Sanders free is a Top 0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:17.760 twelve running back this week. He has RB eleven This week. 0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.240 The Cowboys allowed the ninth most receptions to running backs 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.280 this season. Wow, Michele Sanders, get him in there in 0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:25.320 your lineups this week, and y, you had a bunch 0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:27.560 of questions about Miles Sanders in recent weeks. He's your guy. 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:31.000 He's locked and loaded in your lineup. NeXT's Arizona and 0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.920 the Seattle Seahawks. E y, we was just talking during 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.879 the break. Steve Times, general manager of the Arizona Cardinals, 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.520 says we gotta re sign Kenyan Drake. Good reason. Dude's 0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:43.200 been on fire four touchdowns last week. Kennyan Drake, where 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:44.760 do you what do you expect out of him against 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:50.120 Seattle here on Sunday? Kenyan Drake has been Um. This 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.080 is another guy that that I think we were high on. 0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.640 He's been a guy that you know, like you would 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:56.760 see it and flashes and he would be like, why 0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.960 is he not playing in Miami? Why on earth is 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:04.080 Kellen Balage starting above? Kenyan Drake? And I think all 0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.639 of our questions were answered and we were right. I mean, 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.200 the reality is is Kenyan Drake is an excellent running 0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.520 back and in this system he can really get it done. 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:13.840 He's a decent pass catcher. I don't know if he's 0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:15.800 as good a route runner as David Johnson, but David 0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:19.080 Johnson is either banged up or or football has passed 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.280 him by. I. I know he's a little bit older, 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.160 but not old enough where you'd think he's been done. 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.080 But he looks like he's running in MUDD. And Kenyan 0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:29.400 Drake looks explosive four touchdowns last week. I don't imagine 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:32.240 he does that again. But um, I've got him uh 0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.160 in uh three of my four championship teams, and he'll 0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.120 be starting in all three. Yeah, if you started him 0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:41.800 last week, you're likely playing in the championship this week. 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.480 And Kenyan Drake him as RB sixteen this week, Greg 0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:46.240 high in RB two. I'm not scared of the Seattle 0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.440 Seahawks defense there twenty two and run defense DV away, 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.080 So I think that Kenyan Drake can take advantage in 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:55.359 this spot, consistently seeing over sixty of the snaps for 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.879 the Arizona Cardinals. I also do like Christian Kirk, assuming 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:01.679 that he is hell the you return to practice yesterday 0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.800 on a limited basis. He's dealing with an ankle injury. 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.680 Pay attention to that, but I think that this Seattle 0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:10.479 Seahawks secondary can be taken advantage of. And since Christian 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:15.080 Kirk has returned from injury, it was like five six 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:18.960 weeks ago. He has dominated targets the target share for 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.880 the Arizona Cardinals. So I do like him. Assume he's 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.080 healthy to go low and wide receiver two in this matchup. 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:25.840 You can really do anything about it, Frank, But I 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:27.520 do want to know where is Tyler Lockett in your 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.040 rankings this week? I will pull that up for you 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:31.840 right now. I believe he's inside the top twelve? Is 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:33.520 that so a couple of bad games in a row 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.280 comes back with a good game. Receiver eight, he's inside 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.680 your top ten yet again, obviously you're starting here against Atlanta. 0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.200 We went through it before. Jacob Hollister is inside your 0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.840 top ten, just barely, certainly is not your top twelve. Eight. 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:47.560 He's numb eight. Yeah, And he's the one that I 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:49.680 keep wrestling with with Tyler Higby, because I have that 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.240 actual decision to make on one of my teams. I 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.160 have Hollister and Higbee and I keep going back and forth. 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:56.760 It really is a close call the question that I 0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.800 have where is Mark Andrews on that list? Mark Andrews, 0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:01.560 I'm going to continue to roll him out there. He 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.040 is tight in four. Last time he faced the Browns, 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:05.760 he did score a touchdown against them as well. Okay, 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.000 so because the little I had it was was Mark 0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:11.120 Andrews or Jacob Hollister, And yeah, I think that's getting 0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.040 a little bit too cute. It's a great matchup, don't 0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:14.760 get me wrong. It doesn't get better than the Cardinals. 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.720 But I think somebody in the past game for the 0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:22.200 Seahawks is gonna let us down this week between Lockett, 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:24.560 Metcalf and Hollister, and I just don't know who it's 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:26.280 going to be because I like all three of them 0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.280 a lot, and I like Russell Wilson. You could take 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.280 take advantage of this Cardinal's past defense, but is there 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.640 gonna be enough volume? There are seven nine and a 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.000 half point favorites in this game. They could lean on 0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:38.120 Chris Carson once they get up and just run the ball. 0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.240 I like Metcalf two. He's a wide receiver to for 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.680 me this week, He's the top twenty wide receiver. Cardinals 0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.479 secondary is bad. It's just bad. So I'm rolling all 0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.720 of those guys out there. But I do worry that 0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.560 there's not gonna be enough volume for everybody you mentioned Mark, 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:55.479 I mentioned Mark Andrews. Let's talk about the Ravens and 0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.000 the Cleveland Browns here for the Ravens. You gotta know 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.000 what you're getting yourself into with Mark Andrews with them 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.880 or Jackson with Mark Ingrand. A lot of people like 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.000 Hollywood Brown this week there you know on him with 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.240 the biggest question you hy we have gotten in regards 0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:09.960 to this game is one about Odell Beckham Jr. So 0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:15.720 what say you about O V J? Yeah? I mean 0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.480 for me, I mean you can't trust him. He's been 0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:23.000 not good all year. Uh maybe the number one bus 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.520 this year, a guy that I believe was going Uh. 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:28.880 I thought Baker Mayfield was going to be you know 0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.640 it was the best quarterback he'd ever played with. Uh. 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:35.200 And going into this year, Freddy k Kitchens looked like 0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.200 he had was making all the right decisions, getting the 0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:40.400 ball out of Baker's hands quickly, making good decisions and 0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:44.040 offensive play calls. And Cleveland has looked in act at times. 0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.520 Um chob is the big bright spot there. Cream Hunt 0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.920 coming back has looked well too, um and drivers Landry 0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:52.720 is still getting it done. So but Odell beck him, 0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:54.960 I don't think you can trust him this week at all. 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.000 You know why O. B J is the biggest bus 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.800 this year. He played every game. There's always nothing you 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:04.520 can do about it. You drafted him, he's there, You're stuck. 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.080 That's what makes ob J Arguably, I think it's not 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:10.920 this week We're back in.

Get off the grid, alright, final 0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:50.760 twenty years so minutes of the show, I'll have we 0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.360 have a more break to go saying about the uy 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.400 before that crade, I know we we're not gonna get 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.040 to moda night Football. We're gonna wait till Monday to 0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:00.960 do that. But well, were we go any further? Why 0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:02.680 it's the three of us in here. You want to 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:05.280 put a bow on this Mike Boone, Dalvin Cook, Alexander 0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.280 Madison conversation because people are gonna have to make makes 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.840 sense of it all before Moday night, Right, they're gonna 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.040 makes sense of it probably Sunday at one o'clock. Because 0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:15.480 if you're like me, when you have all of them, 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.840 doesn't really matter, right, Like, I amn't. I am in 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.200 the best situation I can be in where whoever plays, 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.560 I start them easy. But most people aren't in my situation. 0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:29.080 You have Mike Boone nobody else where, you have Alexander Madison, 0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:34.520 nobody else And the question becomes, what do you do? Frank, 0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:38.400 how imperative is it to wait for these guys on 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.440 Monday night? You're gonna answer it depends on the situation, right, 0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:43.440 It depends on who you have in front of them. 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.200 And I think you have to look at guys like 0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:51.360 Raheem mostert A, DeAndre Washington, Um, then you can you 0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:53.480 can go for like Patrick Laird for instance. Right, Like, 0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:56.080 I think these are the type of players that people 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.880 have and they have the decision to try to figure out. 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:03.360 So Riyan Johnson is another one. What do you do 0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.200 if you're in that situation? I will do this the 0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.880 easiest way possible, Greg, And I'm legitimately just going to 0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:10.560 name the running backs that I have ranked ahead of 0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:13.040 Mike Boone. I am ranking Mike Boone right now, assuming 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:15.760 that Alexander Madison and Dalvin Cook are not going to 0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:18.080 play in this game. There are twenty one running backs 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.360 that I would start ahead of Mike Boone as of now. 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:23.800 So if this running back plays on Saturday or Sunday 0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:26.200 and you have Mike Boone on your team, start said 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.600 running back that I'm about to mention ahead of Mike Boone. 0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:33.400 Cmc Zeke Kwan, Chris Carson, Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry, Leonard Fournette, 0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:36.960 Nick Chubb, mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara, Miles Sanders, Melvin Gordon, 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:41.080 Aaron Jones, Todd Gurley, Austin Ekeler, Kenyan, Drake Marlon Mack, 0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:46.480 Devonte Freeman, DeAndre Washington, Raheem Mostard, Levian Bell. That's it. 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:48.800 That's the list. Those are the twenty one running backs 0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.240 I would start ahead of Mike Boone. If you have 0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:58.640 someone playing on Saturday or Sunday, why jeezus, this could 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.680 be This could be the decision that makes you your breaks. 0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:06.040 Th um Boone looked good. We know that that Minnesota 0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:09.640 runs the ball, uh they rely on their running back 0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:13.880 for a ton of carries, says Catches as well. Boone 0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:16.880 is a guy that UM I drafted in some of 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.480 my best ball leagues because there was some belief that 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.000 maybe he could be the backup because Madison was the 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:25.000 rookie and Boone's been there for a bit. Um. I 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.760 was reading something a couple of days ago on Boone 0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:33.200 and he like basically broke the the Oh my god, 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:37.000 what can the combine physically and athletically? This guy is 0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:39.920 an absolute animal, um, But we haven't seen him get 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.440 an opportunity. This could be hit. This could be the 0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:44.880 time they put him on on the list and he 0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.480 becomes a big thing. Or he could be a third 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.800 string running back that you start in front of somebody 0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:52.360 that's been getting it done all year and it breaks 0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:55.279 your heart. So I really like Frank's list. I think 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.520 I would probably start all of those guys in front 0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:02.279 of Boone. UM, but someone like lay Aired Um, you know, 0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:06.040 Carlos Hide, you know, maybe even like James Conner or 0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:08.120 someone like that, I might start Boon in front of them. 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.080 If for sure, I know he's going to be the 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.920 starter for me. I you're not talking about it in 0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:17.879 the break a little bit, Frank and I think that 0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.120 Mike Boone is worth waiting for you if you can 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.719 do it, But there are twenty running backs that you 0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.239 trust more. He is a running back too. He is 0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:30.839 better than some of these flex guys, no doubt about it. 0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:34.400 But if you have a top twenty running back, you 0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:37.439 avoid having to deal with this. It's not like there's 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.600 a reason that Mike Boond is third on the dep one. 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.000 You need three of these more than likely because you 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:43.759 need one for your RB one, RB two and your 0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:47.319 flex spot. But my point is that there's a reason 0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.239 that Marke Mike Boon is third in the depth chart. Right, 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.360 He's not Dalvin Cook. He's probably not Alexander Madison, but 0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:54.680 he was right. I mean, the guy is athletically gifted, 0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:57.600 but he did break the combine. The problem is he 0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:00.640 hasn't had an opportunity. And obviously Vin Cook has the 0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:03.000 draft pedigree and he's been really good, and it just 0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.879 drafted Alexander Madison in the third round. So those guys 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:09.680 have draft pedigree and they're also really talented. So it 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:11.239 might not even be a knock on Mike Boon. He 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:12.839 might be a really good player too. It's just that 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:16.600 those other the players he surrounded around are also really 0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.120 good and we're drafted highly, so of course the Vikings 0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.000 are gonna go with those guys over him. Fair enough, 0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:25.839 there's there's your bow if you will on Mike Boon 0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:29.279 speaking of bow. So we're bolieving because it looks like 0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:32.760 carry On Johnson is back facing off against the Denver 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.319 Broncos this week, the Broncos. In the lines, I talked 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:36.840 a lot about my defense, right, I think that the 0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:38.839 Denver defense e y as is during the break, Kansas 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:43.200 City or Denver in the also out there as well. Um, 0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:46.160 I've gone with Denver like That's what I'm putting my market, 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.560 like Washington too, you know that, I know you like Washington. 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.319 I brought up Houston on Saturday against Jameis Winston and 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:52.879 Tampa Bay. I think they're an option as well. There's 0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:54.879 a lot of good streaming defenses. Do you think carry 0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.120 On Johnson plays Frank? If so, where is he ranked? 0:36:57.520 --> 0:36:59.799 I have him ranked assuming that he's going to play 0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:01.960 him as my RB thirty six, So a low end 0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.960 flex option, a low nd RB three tougher matchup going 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:06.840 up against Denver, you don't know what the workload is 0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:09.319 going to be it's a risky situation. We spoke about 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.160 this a couple of weeks ago, you know the potential 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:13.760 of adding carry on Johnson. Just to give you an idea, 0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:17.240 the running backs that I have ranked just ahead of him, Bouston, Scott, Miles, Gaskin, 0:37:17.320 --> 0:37:19.960 Sony Michelle, Carlos Hide, Ronald Jones. So if you have 0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.000 one of those guys in your flex, I think you 0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.319 leave that player in over to carry on Johnson. Okay, 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.239 carry on Johnson, Gary and Johnson a fine flex play, 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:30.120 but there's definitely risk involved. You just don't know what 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.000 his workload is gonna be. Why are you buying the 0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:34.320 fact that Court and Sutton is so ticked off about 0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:36.360 not making the Pro Bowl that they're gonna do everything 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:38.919 in their power to first feed of the ball. They're 0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:43.280 gonna go off this week. I don't think I'm convinced 0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.759 to that. I think Carlos Sutton is is a number one. 0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:47.880 And we talked about this in the In the preseason, 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:49.960 I ranked him as a number one and and I 0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.600 wanted as many number one wide receivers that I could get. 0:37:52.680 --> 0:37:54.920 He's proven that he has arrived and he is the 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:58.400 real deal. The problem is has been inconsistent play from 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:02.160 the quarterbacks. Um block does look like he's going to 0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.399 be the future there is going to turn himself into 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:08.800 a pretty decent quarterback. But I still can't trust um 0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.920 that that connection or the fact that you know Carl Sutton, 0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:15.279 or because of the snub, the Pro Bowl snub, that 0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:16.640 he's going to, you know, all of a sudden have 0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.759 the game of his life. I think he's a number one, 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:23.799 and I think playing against Detroit doesn't really scare me 0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.880 that much. So I mean, if you have Sutton, I 0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:27.920 think you start him for sure. Yeah, you don't need 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.040 a snub to go off against the Lions. They allow 0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:32.600 the second most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. I 0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.600 have Courtland Sutton as my wide receiver eight overall. On 0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:37.560 the other side in this game, I have Kenny Gollady 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:40.359 wide receiver twenty seven. So I'm a little bit lower 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.040 on Kenny Golladay in this spot. The targets haven't necessarily 0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.120 been there. Uh, David Blow not taking shots down the field. 0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.680 The Broncos secondary um has been a little bit inconsistent, 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:53.520 so see what happens ultimately. But um, yeah, I think 0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:55.239 Kenny Golladay is more of a boom bus play. At 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:57.680 his point, Craig right, Galladay with David Blow has not 0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.719 been as good as we hope for Holiday had a 0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.200 tough schedule here in the playoffs, and it made it 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:06.800 only tougher when you had David Blow throwing him the football. 0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:09.319 Would you were? Are Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman for 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.960 you this week? So I am down on Philip Lindsay 0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:16.239 as well. I know that Detroit you look at them 0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:17.759 as a matchup where you want to use running backs 0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.360 all year. They've actually been better against running backs recently. 0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.879 So I have Philip Lindsay as my RB twenty eight. 0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.399 I have him ten spots lower than consensus. I think 0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.480 he's more of a flex option. Lindsay hasn't played well recently. 0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:31.800 Royce Freeman, they're still splitting snaps. It's just it's a 0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:34.759 messy situation. They can't run the ball effectively. I think 0:39:34.760 --> 0:39:36.919 that they try and throw in the spot. If Noah 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:38.960 fans healthy, I think that they use him against the 0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.560 lines here as well. Obviously I like Courtland Sutton. I'm 0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:43.480 a little bit more down on Philip Lindsay this week. 0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:47.239 Craig Philip Philip lindsay, Uh, you would rather start here 0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:50.239 with Mike Boon. I would use Mike Boon. He wait 0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:53.360 on Mike Boon for that one. Yes, let me continue 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:56.520 on Frankly, just keep chugging along there. Yeah, just try 0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:58.879 and rattle off as many like names that people might 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.279 be worried about in game as possible, and we'll just 0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:03.440 kind of talk it through all right. So you were 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.799 talking or Adventure was talking about Curtis Samuel in Carolina. 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:09.040 D J. Moore, We've heard about in Carolina this week 0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:11.440 because Will Greer is starting at quarterback. What does that 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:14.520 due to these wide receivers. Don't fool around with Curtis Samuel. 0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:17.080 He's banged up, he's dealing with an injury, didn't practice today, 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.640 he's questionable, and he has Will Greer as his quarterback 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.120 on top of all that. So uh, d J. Moore, 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:24.160 I still have as a high end a wide receiver too. 0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:26.120 I told you I was gonna downgrade him a little bit. 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.440 He has been a bona fide wide receiver one. So 0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:30.080 you do see him kind of take a little bit 0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.919 of a knock here in the rankings. But I still 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:35.000 think that the targets will be there because who else 0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:37.560 They're gonna throw in some McCaffrey. Maybe Olsen gets a 0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:39.839 little bit sprinkled in here, But I think as long 0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:42.480 as d J. Moore is on the field, Will Greer 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:45.319 won't really have an option but to target him because 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:46.920 of that volume. He's a high and wide receiver. Two 0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:49.080 E Y T You on the other side of his 0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:52.040 game's Indianapolis Cols. T Y Hilton is expected to play. 0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:55.360 He's supposed to see increased snaps, increased usage, increased everything. 0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:57.839 Are you confident in your Fantasy finals to go out 0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:01.920 there and put in t Y Hilton? Yeah? Absolutely. T 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.719 Y Hilton is a gamer um. Even when he's banged up, 0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:06.960 he shows up. I know, uh, he didn't have a 0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:09.879 ton of snaps last week, but I think they're they're 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.640 trying to be smart. But this is a game that 0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:15.319 the Indianapolis Colts need to win. You mean, like they're 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:17.960 in the same division with the Titans and they're all battling. 0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:21.200 I believe Houston's in first right now, but all the 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:22.920 other teams are right there. You know, a couple of 0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:25.080 losses from Houston, a couple of wins from Indy, and 0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.439 their first place in that division. So Yeah, they're gonna 0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:29.960 go for it. Uh, that's the most important piece on 0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:32.239 that team. T Y Hilton is a mustart. And of 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.000 course you gotta get Marlon Mack in your line up 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:35.919 as well. I think he's a solid RB two going 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:38.160 up against the Panthers. The Panthers have allowed twenty three 0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:41.240 rushing touchdowns the running backs this season. The next closest 0:41:41.239 --> 0:41:44.640 team is the Jaguars, who have allowed fourteen. The Panthers 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:47.120 have allowed nine more rushing touchdowns to running backs this 0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:49.920 year than the next closest team. You gotta use Marlon 0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.840 Mack this week. Marlon Mack definitely needs to be deserves 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:56.040 to be in your lineup Championship Week. Oh next, let's 0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:57.680 get to the New York Chests. They're at home taking 0:41:57.719 --> 0:41:59.800 on Pittsburgh. And you want to talk about players that 0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.279 people of questions on Frank, that's what brings us to 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:06.160 Levan Bell. You weren't sure you thought about it, Rochard 0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:09.040 Perriman or Levan Bell, I said Levian Bell. You said 0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:11.920 Rochard Perriman, sticking to your guns. I am sticking to 0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:14.440 my guns. I'm going with Brashad Perriman going up against 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.600 the Houston Texans, the vertical passing attack of the Tampa 0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:19.680 Bay Bucks. I think the targets will be there for 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:23.560 Perriman as well Levian Bell. It's a revenge game, and 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:25.239 I think that the Jets are gonna try and get 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.680 him in the end zone. But you can't kind of 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.440 look away from the fact that it's a tough matchup. 0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:32.600 The Steelers have been a tough matchup for running backs 0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:35.200 all season long. They don't allow high yards per carry 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.960 to opposing running backs. Levian Bell's usage has been frustrating 0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:41.360 all season long. So I think, you know, while it 0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:43.400 is a revenge game, you've gotta be realistic with your 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:45.359 projection on Levian Bell. He's a low n RB two 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.800 in this matchup. E Y, how confident are you in 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:50.680 some of the other pieces here, specifically Jujuice Smith Schuster, 0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:53.880 who's not even on the injury report this week, Jujuicemith Schuster. 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:56.200 He's back for the Steelers. Is he back in your 0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.960 story line up on Championship Sunday? I think if you 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.120 have him and you have him in your lineups, he's 0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:06.000 a guy that I don't own anywhere. UM I believed 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:10.200 him making the transition from sharing the field with Antonio 0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:13.080 Brown to being the man was going to be a 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:16.000 huge hurdle for him, and I think for the most part, 0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.960 I was right in that assessment. Being the number one 0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:21.520 wide receiver on a team is is hard work. I mean, 0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:24.680 you're gonna be double teamed. You're the defense is going 0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:27.360 to plan for you and plan to stop you and 0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:30.000 take you away. He's the best player on that team, 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:32.640 and uh and that defensive have done that. I think 0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:34.520 the New York Jets try to do that as well. 0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:38.600 Um and the Duck is not a quarterback that I trust, 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:41.160 So yeah, I mean, for me, I think you starred him. 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.920 But uh, I would be very, very worried if I 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:45.880 was relying on Juju Smith Schuster. I don't think I 0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:48.160 can do it. Frank. Juju is my highest ranks Stealers 0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.120 wide receiver this week, and that is at wide receiver 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:53.480 forty four. So it tells you everything you need to 0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.440 know about the Steelers passing. It was Robbie Anderson and 0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:58.160 James and Crowder. I have Robbie at wide receiver thirties 0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:01.759 seven and Crowder at wide receiver third nine. It's tough 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:03.520 to figure out who's gonna see the targets. Again, the 0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.560 Steelers secondary has been really good. They have a lot 0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.640 more fantasy points to outside wide receivers recently, so I 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:11.399 think Robby Anderson there is some upside here, but he's 0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:14.719 a boom er bus play, so in the championship week 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:18.080 it's tough to really trust that. Because of that, I 0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:20.840 have him ranked at outside of my top thirty six. Okay, 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:23.800 there's their Steelers and Jets update. Next, let's go to 0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:25.600 the other Giants. There's the other New York teams. New 0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:28.080 York Giants taking the Washington football team. Frank, you mentioned 0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:31.600 before you like Washington's defense this week. Daniel Jones is 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.239 back in the lineup for the Giants. Already been announced. Uh, 0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:36.839 he'll be there evinging Ram obviously. On I R. I'll 0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:39.799 be there with Sa Kuwan and with Sterling Shappard and 0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.880 Golden Tate. Terry mclaurin's and ay, hear a lot about 0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:45.000 where are all of these wide receivers rank for you. 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:47.399 McLaurin is the highest rank wide receiver in this game 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:48.960 for me, and I'm quite bullish on him. I have 0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:52.520 them as a wide receiver to wide receiver nineteen overall 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.480 is Terry McLaurin. We saw him with a long touchdown 0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:58.359 last week against Philadelphia. Wouldn't surprise me if he breaks 0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:00.840 another long one off this week. I have Darius Slayton 0:45:00.880 --> 0:45:03.320 once again ranked the highest of the Giants wide receivers. 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.640 I know Shepherd saw more targets last week, but Slayton 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:08.640 has a rapport with Daniel Jones and I think they 0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:12.040 go back to that again this week. So because of that, 0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:15.400 Darius Slayton is a solid wide receiver. Three. Greg, alright, 0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:17.600 we'll take a break, Ey, good luck this week. Man 0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:23.920 rooted for you up there. It is there, It is 0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:26.520 all right. We are taking our final break when we 0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:30.040 come back.

Get all the grid. Three questions Frank, 0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:23.359 three minutes ago of the fantasy football season. Feeling it, Man, 0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:28.759 You're excited, you pumped up, You're ready to go. Go Man, 0:46:28.880 --> 0:46:31.719 I got a great Saturday slate. Man, I can't reiterate 0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:34.120 that enough. I'm excited. We have an awesome, awesome, awesome 0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:35.480 Saturday to day. All right, I want to make three 0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:38.040 questions from three games we haven't spoken about yet. Okay, 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:42.399 let's go. Will there be repercutions? Question numb one. Will 0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:44.960 be repercutions from Melvin Gordon's fumbles last week? He was 0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:48.439 benched in the second half. What do you do about 0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:53.520 Melvin Gordon advantage football this weekend? Maybe he sees a 0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:55.319 slight downstick, but I don't see how they can go 0:46:55.400 --> 0:46:57.880 completely away from him. I think that both him and 0:46:57.880 --> 0:47:00.359 Austin Ekeler are going to see a solid workload this game. 0:47:00.360 --> 0:47:02.280 I don't know that they want to rely on Philip Rivers, 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.000 even with it being a solid matchup against the Oakland Raiders. 0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:06.759 The way to attack them is by throwing the ball. 0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:09.439 Their past defense has been horrendous. Their run defense hasn't 0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:12.120 been great. Recently either. But I think that the Chargers 0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:14.520 rely more so on Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler in 0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:16.239 this game. They don't really put the game in the 0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:18.880 hands of Philip Rivers much. And because of that, I 0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:22.319 see Melvin Gordon getting fifteen twenty touches once again, and 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:25.319 Austin Ekelter likely in that twelve to fifteen touch range 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:27.320 where he has been all season. Ques Number two, you 0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:29.360 have to start one Kansas City running back in your 0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:32.640 championship weekend? Wh would have been Oh god, death is 0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:36.880 not an option. That's not the answer. Now. I would 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:41.280 say if Damian Williams plays, probably him. Question number three 0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:44.960 it's with involving the Cincinnati Bengals. Do you start Tyler 0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:48.040 Boyd this week? Absolutely? I have him ranked as a 0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:51.040 top twenty four wide receiver on Bullish on Tyler Boyd, 0:47:51.120 --> 0:47:53.799 He's my wide receiver twenty overall. The Dolphins have been 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:57.200 torched by wide receivers all season long. The targets have 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.279 been there for Boyd as well. Uh, It's just it's 0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:01.800 a good matchup. How do you get away from it? 0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:03.760 So you know, if you had like a Tyler Boyd 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:06.960 or Julian Edelman I said this yesterday, I'm sticking to it. 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:10.840 I would use Tyler Boyd over Julian Edelman. Edelman has 0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:16.120 settled in at wide receiver thirty five Greg wide receiver 0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:19.000 though so so we weren't sure we saw Blake Phels rankings. 0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:21.480 It's like thirty seven, What are we doing? Now? You 0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:23.560 have more three thirty four. Now he's all the way 0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:28.040 down there at thirty five, unbelievable down thirty seconds. Do 0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:33.000 you have any last final pieces of advice? Frank, Like 0:48:33.040 --> 0:48:35.839 I said earlier in the show, don't worry about the 0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:38.200 name on the back of the jersey. If a player 0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:40.960 is playing well, if the opportunity is there, if the 0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:44.680 matchup is right, go with that player. Try your best 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:47.160 not to overthink things. If you have a question, hit 0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:49.520 me up on Twitter at Rodal Underscore Frank. My rankings 0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:51.759 will be on rodal Experts dot Com as well. Right 0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:53.400 there you go with Frank standfl and Eric Young. My 0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:55.400 name is gregg Souter Wager talks up next up a 0:48:55.400 --> 0:48:57.680 great week and everybody, we hope
