1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Upy Thursday. Everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Stardom 2 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Sit HM Show. I am Marcus Grant, joined by the 3 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Sultan of Starts and Sits, Michael F. Florio, and we 4 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: are through three weeks of the season. We're about to 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: start week four. So by now, Florio, we know everything 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: there is to know about fantasy football. Correct, Yeah, we 7 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: we pretty much don't need to play the rest of 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: the season. Whoever's in first place, just give him the trophy. 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: If the season ended today and you're in first place, 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: then hey, you can brag to all your friends, because 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: this is all that matters at this point. Look, we 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about. Of course, every week Florio 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: puts together his list of starts and sits. You can 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: find that over at NFL dot com slash start and sit, 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: and we're gonna cherry pick a few to talk about 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: over the course of the next twenty minutes or so. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: So let's actually just jump right into this, shall We 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: will start with a look at the quarterbacks. Take us 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: real quick through your start sit tobes starting Kylin Murray 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: this week again the Panthers Derek Carson play against the Broncos. 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm giving Russ another chance, and the goat is a 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: start this week, the wannabe goat Aaron Rodgers. I'm sitting him. 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: I'm also sitting Kirk Cousins, Trevor Lawrence. I love Trevor Lawrence, 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: but just respect to the matchup. And then Carson Wentz 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: after last week's done is a sit? You said, giving 26 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson one more chance? I had Biggie in my hands, 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: like mikey, give me one more chance. Mike, he gave 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: me one more chance. Uh, Let's let's talk about some 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: of these guys in detail. Let's look at some of 30 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: the veteran guys that are on there that list. Let's 31 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: start with Tom Brady. Last week, we didn't like him 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: because he didn't have any wide receivers. This week, presumably 33 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: he's getting some of them back. Mike Evans back. For sure, 34 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on, you know, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones. 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: But how are we feeling about him potentially against the 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs this week. I think Brady could bounce back and 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: probably have his best Fantasy game of this season, because 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: he really hasn't done a whole lot to this point. 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons I like him is exactly 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: what you said. Mike Evans is back, Julio and Godwin 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: have got limited practices in so hopefully his past catchers 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: are better than they were a week ago where they 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: were literally throwing the ball to it. Just signed off 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: the street Colby Easley. But then it also has to 45 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: do with the fact that the Chiefs have allowed almost 46 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: twenty one fantasy points per game. That's in the top 47 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: ten two quarterbacks. So and I just think to keep 48 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: up with Mahomes in the Chiefs offense, Brady and the 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: Bucks are gonna have to throw the ball. I think 50 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: he has his best Fantasy day yet in season. He 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: has yet to score fifteen fantasy points in a game. 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: I would love to we we we should tap our 53 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: friends over at research and see if there's ever been 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: a season since he's been a full time starter where 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has gone the first three games without scoring 56 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: fifteen or more fantasy points. It feels like it's never happened. 57 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: If it did happen, it was way back in the 58 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: before times, before he became in a fantasy study each 59 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: and every week. Uh, you said, You're given Russell Wilson 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: one more chance. He's got the Raiders this week. It's 61 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: been pretty dismal for he in the Broncos offense. But 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: what do you potentially like about him against Las Vegas. Yeah, 63 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: there's three reasons I'm holding my hat on Russell Wilson 64 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: this week. The biggest one, though, is the matchup. The 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed almost twenty three Fantasy points per game 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks this season, that is the fourth most in 67 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. But I'm also holding my hat on the 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: fact that Aaron Rodgers in the Centthaniel Hackett offenses first 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: year and it really struggled the first three weeks of 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: the season. He broke out in Week four and looked 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: more like Aaron Rodgers from then on out. So hopefully 72 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: this is just Russ taking a little bit of time 73 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: to learn his new system. And then the third reason, 74 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: Marcus I said it on our podcast too, it's just 75 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: blind faith, right Like, Russell Wilson can't be this bad. 76 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: Maybe he's not. You could argue if he's worth the 77 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: money he got or whatever, but he is not this bad, 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: right Like, he has to be better. Do you think 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: he has to be better? I know we do a 80 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: segment on Fantasy Live called just vibes where we're not 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: really talking about stats. Were just just going on gut 82 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: field and I do It's it's just vibes for me, 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: But I feel like Russ has to be better this 84 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: week against the Raiders. On the other side, Aaron Rodgers, 85 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: it's been a struggle. I mean, we talk about Tom 86 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: Brady not having a big game so far this season. 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers also struggling this season. You don't like him 88 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: again this week against the Patriots. Yeah, his next top 89 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: ten scoring week will be his first of the year. 90 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: He's yet to score seventeen fantasy points in a game 91 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: this season. The Packers too, They've really changed up their offense. 92 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: They were running passing the ball just percent of the time, 93 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: which is twenty in the NFL and well below the 94 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: league average of so just fewer opportunities there for Rogers. 95 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: Plus uh, it's Bill Belichick the Patriots defense, and they've 96 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: limited Rodgers in the limited sample size they have against 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: him to under two passing yards per game. I just 98 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: don't like the matchup this week for Rodgers. This feels 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: like a defensive struggle between the Patriots and the Packers. 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Neither offense has been very good to start the season. 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: But here we are Aaron Rodgers barely a top thirty quarterback. 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, I know we were all down on him. 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't think we thought it was going to be 104 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: this bad to start the year. I'll tell you what. Um. 105 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: By the way, there's some folks over GMFB that, oh 106 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 1: you an apology, Florio, because when you started the season 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: and you had him like outside the top twelve, I know, 108 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: like it caused a kerfuffle on Good Morning Football. So 109 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: like there's some folks over there in New York at 110 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: that that breakfast table that, oh you an apology about 111 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: your Aaron Rodgers ranking this year? And you know we're 112 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: three weeks in, Margaret, we said, if it's happened already, 113 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: this is how the season is gonna end. So Rogers 114 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: on the top twelve quarterback. Yep, it's too bad, too late. 115 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: So it's all over and done for Aaron Rodgers this year. 116 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: No chance for change. Let's move over to wide receivers. 117 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: Who do you gotta starts and sets? This week? I'm 118 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: starting Gave Davis in a great matchup. I'm starting Mr 119 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: air Yards himself, Cristal LaVey. I think what DEVONSA Smith 120 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: has done the last two weeks has warranted him being 121 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: a start, and I've changed my tune on a Maori 122 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: Cooper and a good matchup, I will start him. I said, 123 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm sitting Aaron Rodgers. I'm also going to sit Alan 124 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: Lazard in that matchup. I'm sitting Russell Gauge. If the 125 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: other Bucks receivers are healthy and suit up, I think 126 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: you just get fully away from Alan Robinson right now, 127 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: and Traylon Burke's as well, until he gets consistent usage. 128 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: I say, you said him. Yeah. I talked to one 129 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: of our colleagues, are pal Maurice Jones Drew who definitely 130 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: has an inside with the Rams, and was asking about 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Alan Robinson and he said, you know, right now, it's 132 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: just they're not They're just not scheming things up for him. 133 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh loves him some Cooper Cup, which is blatantly obvious, 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: but right now, Alan Robinson sort of left to fit 135 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: for himself. If they maybe start scheming some things up 136 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: for him, maybe we can get a little bit more production. 137 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: But let's go back to the positive side of things. 138 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis and last week was kind of a tough 139 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: week for the bill's offense in general against a good 140 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. This week it seems like a lot more 141 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: forgiving matchup against the Ravens. Yeah, and that's exactly what 142 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: why I like Dave Davis, and I know he had 143 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: a big Week one, didn't play Week two. Week three 144 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: was weird because the receivers all were struggling with that, 145 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: but he still did lead the Bills and air yards 146 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: per target in Week three, which shows that he is 147 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: their downfield threat in this offense. And I think against 148 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens team that has allowed by far the most 149 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: fantasy points to receivers that are always getting torched in 150 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: the air in the passing games so far this year, 151 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: in a game with two m VP candidates, that likely 152 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: is a lot of points scored. I think Dave Davis 153 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: is a strong start this week. This feels like a 154 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: week you can start pretty much any of the past 155 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: catchers on both sides in that game. I mean, I 156 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: like Isaiah Mackenzie, Dawson Knox on the other Sidebershot Bateman, 157 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay, obviously Mark Andrews. You know we're gonna start anyway, 158 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: so this could be a points bonanza. You talked about 159 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Mr air yards himself, Chris Olava. I mean, I don't 160 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: know if if he picks up air yards on his 161 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: flight over to London, but if so, then that's even 162 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: more reason to love him. But right now everything is 163 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: coming up roses for Olave in that Saints passing game, 164 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: He's getting his air miles on his way to go 165 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: get his air yards. I guess three hundred and seven 166 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: and week two two air yards last week. He is 167 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: more in the last two weeks than any player in 168 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: the NFL at borrowing the stat from you, Marcus, and 169 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: then I love that last week thirteen targets, he turned 170 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: it into nine catches for a hundred and forty seven yards. 171 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: He's led the Saints and targets two weeks in a row, 172 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's a legit battle to be Jameis 173 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Winston's top target between him and Michael Thomas. I actually 174 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: prefer Olava this week as the Vikings have really struggled, 175 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: allowing a lot of big plays this season so far, 176 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: and if there's going to be big plays made for 177 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: the Saints, it's going to be Crystal Lobby. There is 178 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: some question about Winston. He's been banged up a little bit. 179 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: We're kind of keeping an eye on his status. Does 180 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: this change at all if it ends up being Andy 181 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: Dalton this week? Yeah, I think it would be a 182 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: downgrade for O Lava if Winston sits, But as of 183 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: yesterday there the Saints are still hopeful that Winston suits up, 184 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: and I think if Winston plays, you definitely start a Lava. 185 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: But even if it's Dalton, I think you lower him, 186 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: but likely still starting. I mean, it's it's a pretty narrow, 187 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: narrowly funnled passing game, Solby I've still has some value. 188 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: By the way. That game, of course being played in 189 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: London between the Saints and the Minnesota Vikings. You can 190 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: see it on NFL Network. Kicks off at nine am 191 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: nine thirty am Eastern I should say six thirty am 192 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: Pacific time. You can also see it on NFL Plus. 193 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: It's also a reminder that you may want to set 194 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: your lineup on Saturday night, at least if you have 195 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: any Vikings or Saints, so you're not waking up in 196 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: a panic and trying to shuffle guys in and out 197 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: of your lineup based on what happens and what you 198 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: want to do with you a roster. Let's get to 199 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of a rapid fire session. It's called 200 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: how we feeling, where I will list off a player 201 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: and then Florida and I will talk to you about, well, 202 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: how we're feeling about that guy. So let's start with 203 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,599 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He have the banged up ribs and the 204 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: beat up offensive line. The Chargers are in Houston to 205 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: take on the Texans. How are you feeling about her 206 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: about this week? I'm definitely worried about him, but in 207 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: a good matchup against the Houston Texans, I think you 208 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: still likely have to start him. It's very unlikely you 209 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: have two of the top quarter back so if I 210 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: half Herbert, I'm probably still riding with him. I feel 211 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: a little bit better too if Keenan Allen is able 212 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: to go this week for the Chargers, and certainly monitor 213 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: that over to the Packers. Aaron Jones against the New 214 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: England Patriots. Now you had both Aaron Rodgers and Alan 215 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: Lazard as a sit. I think you're starting Aaron Jones, 216 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: but I'm not excited about it because the Packard passing 217 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: game has been pretty awful so far this season, and 218 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: we know Bill Belichick likes to take away the number 219 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: one weapon right now. That number one weapon is Aaron Jones. 220 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: The Patriots defense has been very good, so this is 221 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: a big downgrade for me. But you know, there's likely 222 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: nobody else on your roster that you've got that you 223 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: feel better about starting in his place. So you're starting him, 224 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: but you don't really have to like it. Christian McCaffrey, 225 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: who popped up on the injury report with some issues there. 226 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: He's got the Arizona Cardinals. Great match up on paper. 227 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it? If Christian McCaffrey plays 228 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: for the Panthers, he plays for your fantasy team. It's 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: just that simple. And I'm hoping that this is the 230 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: new trend marks where every week he pops up on 231 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: the injury report with a different body injury and then 232 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: just goes out to get his usual plus snaps, touches 233 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: and it has his solid fantasy day. It'll be like 234 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: the Game of Operation where you're just like, you know, 235 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: removing bones sort of thing and just trying not to 236 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: touch the sides. More running backs to talk about here, 237 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams going against the Las Vegas Raiders again that 238 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: at least on paper, is not expected to be that 239 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: high scoring, but I'm still fine with Javontay, mostly because 240 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: I know Melvin Gordon is still there and still getting work. 241 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: But Williams is the guy that's getting a lot of 242 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: the passing down work in that backfield. We always talk 243 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: about how much more valuable a target is than a carry, 244 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: so even if he's not getting all of the carries, 245 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: he's getting a lot more of the targets and that 246 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: makes me feel good. Against the Raider defense that hasn't 247 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: been particularly great so far this season, Clyde Edwards Hilaire 248 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: has been a tough one to figure out so far 249 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: this year. Florio, the usage is bad, the production is good. 250 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: He's got a tough match up against the Bucks. How 251 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: you feeling, Yeah, I've been high on c H up 252 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: until this point. I thought the first two weeks usage 253 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: was more because of circumstances, but we three did not 254 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: do anything to help that out, and in a very 255 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: tough matchup against the Bucks, I think this week c 256 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: H is just a low end RB two. It just 257 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: seems like Jerk McKinnon is not going away in that 258 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs backfield. Forty Niners and the Rams that one on 259 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Deebo Samuel. I know he hasn't necessarily 260 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: had a blow up week, but still getting consistent usage. 261 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: And I say this, you're starting Debo just because at 262 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: any point he can have that big game. Now. The 263 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: Rams defense has been fairly tough this season. I just 264 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: think the usage for Deebo sort of trump's everything and 265 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 1: and his talent, the fact that he is still a 266 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: really good football players. So regardless of what the matchup is, 267 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: you're starting Deebo Samuel and you can feel pretty confident 268 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: about that. Back to the Broncos and Raiders. Jerry Judy 269 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: who was drawing on social media with Broncos legend Shannon Sharp, 270 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: how are feeling about him this week? Great Twitter exchange 271 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: between the two. I'm feeling, though, a lot more worried 272 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: about Jerry Judy moving forward. Courtland Sutton has done a 273 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: good job of establishing himself the last couple of weeks, 274 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: which has led Judy as the second target there. I 275 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: think he's in play in deeper leagues or it's like 276 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: a flex option, but I do not feel nearly as 277 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: good as about him now as I did after week one. 278 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: I will finish that up. On the other side of that, 279 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: Broncos Raiders game with Darren Waller the Raiders tight end, 280 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: and I feel pretty good about him this week. The 281 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: thing about the Raider passing game, it's pretty much funneled 282 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: through three guys. Davante Adams is going to get his 283 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: right now. Mac Holland seems like the number two wide 284 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: receiver there, and then of course there's Darren Waller and 285 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: the Broncos have been so so against the tight end position, 286 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: but I do think if the Raiders are looking to 287 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: get that first win of the season, Darren Waller is 288 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: going to have to be more involved. So I feel 289 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: really good about his prospects coming up this week against 290 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Let's take a look at the stardom sit 291 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: him tight ends four week Floor four Floorio. Take us 292 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: through who you got David and Joe Coo after a 293 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: big Week three Tyler hate me even though I don't 294 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: love the matchup, I just think his volume has been safe. 295 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: T J Hockinson in a good matchup, and then Dawson 296 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: Knox and what we keep saying could be an absolute 297 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: score fast some sits Cameron Brad who I know maybe 298 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: had a lot of targets last week, but they're getting 299 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: healthier there Logan Thomas, whose numbers just keep the windoling 300 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: Gelanni Woods, who's hoping to build off of a big 301 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: Week three. But until we see him do it, I 302 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: say sid him and then Big Bob Tony in just 303 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: because that could be, like we said, a defensive matchup. 304 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: So let's talk about a couple of these guys, David 305 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: and Joeku. And we've sort of been waiting for the 306 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: breakout season to come, and at least through the first 307 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: three weeks, it seems to be in progress. Regardless of 308 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: how we feel about him for the rest of the season, 309 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: everything in this matchup just points to a smash opportunity 310 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: for the Browns pass catchers against Atlanta. Yeah, he's coming 311 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: off a monster game in Week three where he caught 312 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: nine of his ten targets for eighty nine yards and 313 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown. What I love is he rants twenty six 314 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: routes a Mariti Cooper led the Browns with thirty two, 315 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: so and Joku is out there on the field a 316 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: bunch and he was targeted on thirty eight percent of 317 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: his routes. And like you said, Marcus, he has the 318 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: talent to break out. We just need him to get 319 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: the volume, so I'm hoping he can build off of 320 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: that from last week and what is a great matchup. 321 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Like you said, the Falcons have allowed these second most 322 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: fantasy points and tight ends. I have him ranked as 323 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: my tight end seven this week. I'm pretty bolish on him. 324 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Jacoby Brissett, who was 325 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: playing some really good football. I think we sort of discounted, 326 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: we wrote him off, and I guess he's not writing 327 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: back because he's he's playing pretty well so far this season. Uh. 328 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: T J. Hawkinson was a guy that people had a 329 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: lot of high hopes for. It's been a slow start 330 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: to the year for him, while Aman ross St. Brown 331 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: has been eating DeAndre Swift has been eating. But you 332 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: like his prospects this week against the Seahawks. Huh. Yeah, 333 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt that DeAndre Swift is likely to miss 334 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: this game. A mon Ross St. Brown is up in 335 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: the air, but either way, I think t J. Hockenson 336 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: is in play. Uh. He's coming off his best game 337 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: of the year where he scored just under eleven fantasy 338 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: points because he scored a touchdown. But he sees pretty 339 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: safe volume each week. You see their eighteen targets, second 340 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: most on the team, and then he faces a Seahawks 341 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: defense that has allowed almost fifteen fantasy points per game 342 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: two tight ends this year after struggling against the position 343 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: last year. I don't love Hockinson each week. If you 344 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: listen to the show, you know that, but I think 345 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: this is a week to get him in your lineup. Yeah, 346 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: it's the Lions offense. It's fun, it's high scoring. It's 347 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: a definitely not what we expected coming into the season. 348 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: But this could be a week that Hawkinson benefits, especially 349 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: because of some of the injuries around him in the offense. 350 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: And let's talk about some guys we think deserves some 351 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: more hype and our must starts for the week. Florio 352 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: start us off. Austin Ekeler. He has been struggling this year, 353 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: but I think better days start coming, and I think 354 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: they start coming in Week four. Uh Eckler still leads 355 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the running back position and targets and catches. He's doing 356 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: what we want there, but he's not getting a lot 357 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: of groundwork, just eighty rushing yards on the season. His 358 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns have been lagging. But the Houston Texans are a 359 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: team that struggle against the run. They have this year 360 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: they did all of last season and what they banged 361 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: up quarterback and likely banged up some receivers there. I 362 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: think this could be a week where the Chargers really 363 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: try to establish the run and get Austin Ekeler heavily involved. 364 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: He does fantasy shows. He knows us fantasy managers are worried. 365 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: He's probably telling his coaches, Hey, let me let me 366 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: get a couple of extra carries this week. I also 367 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: think that for the Chargers, it's one thing to sprinkle 368 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: in Sony Michelle and Joshua Kelly when you're winning. Things 369 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: are a little bit dicey right now for the Chargers. 370 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: Maybe it's time for them to go back to what 371 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: worked last year, and that is to feed the rock 372 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: to Austin Neckler. So we'll see. Um I'm stay in 373 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: that same game though, and go to Damian Pierce. And 374 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: we have been big, all of us across the industry 375 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: have been big on what we've seen from Damian Pierce 376 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. It's what we anticipated coming into 377 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: the season. Now, if there's one thing I could request, 378 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: Levi Smith, if you're listening, I know you are, how 379 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: about a few more targets for Damian Pierce. This is 380 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: a guy who can catch the football, but right now 381 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: a lot of that works still going to Rex burkehead. 382 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: The other thing I ask of Damian Pierce, if you're listening, 383 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: as I know you are, hold onto the football because 384 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: we've seen him put the ball on the ground and 385 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: then Lovey Smith put him back on the bench, So 386 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: we need you to be out on the field. The 387 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: Chargers have given up some yards on the ground. They 388 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: were carved up by James Robinson last week, so I 389 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: think there's an opportunity for Pierce to go out and 390 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: make some plays in Week four. Who else is on 391 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: your must start list this week? Christian Kirk? And I 392 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: know it might seem pretty wild against an Eagle's defense, 393 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: but Kirk has been so good this year that I 394 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: think we he deserves to be treated like a matchup 395 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: proof type wide receiver. I still have him ranked on 396 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: my top twelve. He has at least six catches in 397 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: every game, with over seventy yards and three touchdowns in 398 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: his last two games combined. Uh And while I'm respecting 399 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense and saying to sit Trevor Lawrence this week, 400 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: Kirk has seen so much weekly volume. He's never leaving 401 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: the field for them, and if this is a game 402 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: where the Jags are trailing late, I think he sees 403 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: a lot of volume just as they try to establish 404 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: a comeback. I would not be worried about Christian Kirk 405 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: this week, even though it's a tough matchup. I would 406 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: still be starting. He's been really, really good to start 407 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: the season, and the Jaguars offense it's a lot more 408 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: fun to watch this year than it was last year. 409 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: For sure, I'm gonna go with another wide receiver. And 410 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: you talked about David and Joeku as being a start 411 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: at the tight end spot. I'm gonna say that a 412 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Mari Cooper is equally a start for the Browns at 413 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: wide receiver. You had him on your list of starts 414 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: as well. And look, this is me sort of reevaluating 415 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: after what we've seen the last couple of weeks, because 416 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: I was completely out on a MARII Cooper, I will 417 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: admit that. But the last two weeks he's been very, 418 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: very good, and this is another really good matchup for him. 419 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: He is absolutely dominating the target share in the Brown's offense, 420 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: not even people's jones really not much to be seen. 421 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: It's been Cooper, it's been David and Joeku, a little 422 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: bit of Kareem Hunt thrown in there. This could be 423 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: a really high scoring game both ways. Expecting a lot 424 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: of points, a lot of offense. So um, I'm still 425 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: not sold that Amari Cooper is going to be great 426 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: weekend and week out, but we could get three solid 427 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: games in a row. Amari Cooper should be in your 428 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: lineup if he is on your roster. Man. We're talking 429 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: about the Browns and Falcons being like Fantasy point havens 430 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: this Um. You know, if I had told you this 431 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: back in August, I think you would have probably, you know, 432 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: dump hot coffee on my lap or something. I don't know. 433 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: At the very least would have been like what Marcus 434 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: is he's today. But I agree with you. I think 435 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a very fun game this weekend. 436 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely looking forward to it. Also looking forward to some 437 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: running back starts and sits. We got that coming up 438 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: after the break. Plus, get your gold chain in your 439 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: act body spray. We're getting into the club dub talking 440 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: about some guys.

Start Him, Sit Him, Running Backs, Floria. 450 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: Who's on your list? Damian Pierce? So you talked about 451 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: last segment makes it as a start for me. I 452 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: think Bruce Hall even with the quarterback changes and play 453 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: Romandre Stephenson as he takes over more work. There Jamal 454 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: Williams against the Seahawks. And then this sits Jeff Wilson Jr. 455 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: In a tough match of j K. Dobbins Darryl Henderson 456 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: as Cam Akers continues to take more and more work. 457 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: And then Travis etn Jr. Is James Robinson is clearly 458 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: the RB one. There h E t n as he said, Yeah, 459 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: he's he's been kind of struggling. I had somebody asked 460 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: me if they should drop him for Khalil Herbert. I'm 461 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: not I'm not there yet, but I definitely don't know 462 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: if you can play Travis E. T n right now. 463 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: Back to the good side, though, Jamal Williams, who I've 464 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: been advocating to pick up off waivers for a while now, 465 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: this feels like an absolute smash spot with no DeAndre 466 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Swift against the Seahawks run defense. I've talked to somebody 467 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: who has Jamal Williams in his top ten? Are you 468 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: Are you that high on him this week? I don't 469 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: have him in my top ten, but I think he 470 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: easily could finish as a top ten runner. He already 471 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: had a role in this Lion's offense. He already leads 472 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: the NFL and carries inside the ten, and I think 473 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: his workload is only going to increase. He could get 474 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: more pass game usage potentially, and then if the Lions 475 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: have a lead in this game, I think he will 476 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: be the back they used to grind out the clock 477 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: over to JK Dobbins with the Baltimore Ravens a tough 478 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: match up against the Buffalo Bills, and last week we 479 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: were sitting JK just because it had been a while 480 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: since he'd been out there. We didn't expect a whole 481 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: lot this week. Look, I think this is going to 482 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: be a score fest, but I think it's gonna be 483 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: a lot with the quarterbacks and the wide receivers. You've 484 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: got him as a sit. Explain why you're not excited 485 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: about it this week. I completely agree with everything you 486 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: just said. I think this is a game where the 487 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gonna shine. And then last week j K. 488 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: Dobbins played just in the snaps, only had seven carries 489 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: and to targets, so uh, less than half this apps 490 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: played single digit touches. I think until we see him 491 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: really handle a starter's workload and show us that he 492 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: can beat his old self, I think you just sit 493 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: him on the bench. Like, if he has a good 494 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: game this week, you don't be upset that you sit him. 495 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: You get happy that you now know you could start 496 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: him every week. That's I think the thing. We're still 497 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: kind of taking it slowly with j K. Dobbins. The 498 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: Ravens were taking it slow with j K. Dobbins. We 499 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: should probably do the same as well. Until we see 500 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: that he's ready to pick up and have a big workload. 501 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: There Jeff Wilson Jr. Mean, we always want part of 502 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: a forty Niners running game, but last week the forty 503 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: Niner offense was well, it is bad. There's really no 504 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: way around that. It was pretty awful. This week they've 505 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: got the Rams, two teams that just straight up don't 506 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: like each other. And you don't like Jeff Wilson at 507 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: least from a fantasy standpoint. Yeah, right now. The Rams 508 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: have been really tough against running backs, allowing fewer than 509 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: twelve fantasy points per game to the position. Last year 510 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: against his Rams defense, in his one healthy game against them, 511 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: Wilson carried the ball ten times for just twenty eight yards. 512 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: And that's my fear. And these teams don't like each other. 513 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: Like you said, they always play ugly games usually, and 514 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: if it ends up being an ugly one like it 515 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: was last week, Wilson didn't score that touchdown. You're looking 516 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: at single digit points. So I not a must sit, 517 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: but definitely a player I'm trying to get away from 518 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: this week. There may not be a lot of fantasy 519 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: points to be had in this Rams forty Niners game. 520 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: Two defenses that sort of lead the way, inconsistent offenses 521 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: through the first three weeks of the season. All right, 522 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: sign to put on your your shades and your silk shirt. 523 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: Start Club Dub players of the week, the guys that 524 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: we guarantee you will score twenty five or more Fantasy points. 525 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna be you know, the situation or 526 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: Vinny or whatever, who do you have? Who are you 527 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: letting through the velvet ropes into Club Dub this week 528 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: right now? Like DJ Pauly did, I guess is On 529 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: is DJ in or whatever? So we're gonna let some 530 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: people in. We're gonna let Stefon Digs in This week 531 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: a score fest against the Baltimore Ravens. So why not 532 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: go with the top scoring wide receiver on the year 533 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: so far? Coming into the year, I said Stefon Diggs 534 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: I think was going to have a career year. The 535 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: volume has increased, It's been even better than what I 536 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: was hoping for. And this is a fantastic matchup. The 537 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: Ravens allowed the most yards and Fantasy points to receivers. 538 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: Jigs is Allen's top weapon by far. I think this 539 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: is a great spot for all of these past catchers 540 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: like we keep talking about, but especially Stefon Diggs. He's 541 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: my top rated wide receiver this week. Stefan Diggs maybe 542 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: up there. I think he and Josh Allen may end 543 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: up being some of the top scorers of the week 544 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: at their respective position. So I love that call. I'm 545 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna stay wide receiver, and I'm gonna go Michael Pittman Junior. 546 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: The calls have been sort of frustrating this year offensively, 547 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: but one thing we know is that Matt Ryan loves himself, 548 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: So Michael Pittman Jr. The Titans have been struggling against 549 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: opposing passing games so far of this season, and really, 550 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: um we talked about funneled passing games for Indie. It 551 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: is Michael Pittman Jr. He is the passing game now. 552 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: He Hines has not popped away that we thought he 553 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: went so far this season. So I think for the 554 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: Colts to be successful, it's gonna be a lot of 555 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, It's gonna be a lot of Michael Pittman. 556 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: And I see Pittman getting in there and getting those 557 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: targets and having a very very good day for your 558 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: fantasy squad. You know, on the whole, I don't know 559 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: about you. I know you put together the rankings and 560 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: you're looking at all this kind of stuff. This felt 561 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: like a tough week to find a lot of really 562 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: high scores. I think there's some games that could potentially 563 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: be score fests, but it felt like this was not 564 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: a week that really lends itself to a ton of 565 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: big time scores in fantasy. Yeah, and it was certainly 566 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: a week for me at least, like putting the rankings 567 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: together that after you get passed like the obvious top guys, 568 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, like this guy could Like there's 569 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: just a whole bunch of players that are like very 570 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: close together. Yeah, So we'll see how it all shakes 571 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: out when it's all of a said and done. Of course, 572 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: there will always be surprises, because that's how fantasy football works. 573 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: One thing that's not a surprise Me and Floria.
