1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: your seven home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: We are back, um, Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: It's time for the Fantasy football focus and uh, well 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: we're four weeks into this thing and lots of news 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: and notes around the Justin Fields will be the starter 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: for the Bears from like from here on out, you know. 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: And Dalton yeah, and it's certainly the right call. I 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: guess Dalton came out and said, I'll embrace the backup job. 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sure he's gonna be a good mentor, right. 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I always find that interesting people do that too. 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: But um it, Fields took noticeable steps forward. I thought 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: a huge deal was finally given Bill Laser back the 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: play calling duties, because last year when they gave Laser 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: the play calling duties, the offense got a lot better 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: this and then they took it off him, and then 17 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: this year, um they give it back to him. And 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: Fields is a lot better than a second outing, you know, 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: like the thing that he's not running. He's not running 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean for fantasy reasons. Fantasy. I mean, yeah, he 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: threw for what he threw for two yards or whatever 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: it was last week he only ran like four times. Yeah, 23 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: I wonder. It's funny. It's kind of like what Labs 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: was talking about in the last segment of is he 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: being coached not to run because we want to work 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: on him? Was guaranteed that he is? Because sure seems 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: like it's you know, and the Steelers went through this 28 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: when they had Cordel Stewarts and you know, two runs 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: all over the place. Great, we're gonna make him a 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: pocket quarterback and times are different then. I mean, I 31 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: don't think anybody would ask Cordell to do that now. 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: But but you're taking your you're making him play one legged, 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: yeah exactly, Yeah, with one hand time behind his back. 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: You know, you're taking away what makes the guy special. 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: And see, that's what I'm thinking about with Labs, is 36 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: what you know you're talking about just win this game 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: or are you trying to build a mac growth thing? 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: You know? And I wonder how's he being coached? And 39 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: it sure seems like your point it's let's get your 40 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: passing through your progressions right, Whereas usually with these with 41 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: these young running quarterbacks, a guy with who's that talented 42 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: first read, maybe your second read take off, make something happen. Yeah, 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: and for fancy reasons. It's a little curious. You know, 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: it hurts you a lot. And that's the best asset. 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Because I thought about Okay, I I drafted him in 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: my one league, and I after a couple of weeks 47 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: in my how, this isn't going anywhere, So I released him. 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: Then he played the game against the Bronze and like, 49 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: I made the right decision. But even watching last week, 50 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, so he's going to be the starter 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: from here on out, but he if he doesn't run, 52 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: but he's just another match Yeah, right, I can do. 53 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: But like I instead, I needed a quarterback in that 54 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: leg because I got my starter's Dak Prescott, and he's 55 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: gonna be off next week. I'm like, I'm looking at 56 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 1: the matchups going, we'll see. I'm darn there. I'll take Sam. 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: Darnald's having an awesome year too, But I mean he's 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: running like Jalen Hurts isn't my favorite quarterback in the NFL. 59 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: But they're not running the ball with running backs at all. 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: He gets six to ten carries a game, and they're 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: throwing like crazy. You know, so it almost doesn't matter 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: what he does on the field. He's gonna produce like crazy, 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: and Fields could easily do that now. Maybe because they 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: won't have David Montgomery, they go that way with it. 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: I would hope, But but he's a tough start. You 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: need to see it first. So that brings me a 67 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: trade Lance. I mean, I guess there's an outside chance 68 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy's gonna play, but I don't think he's going to. 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's be the first time that they game 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: plan a week four Lands, you know, not just thrown 71 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: in there. But they knew this day was coming. I 72 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: mean there's that They're not like, oh my gosh, Land 73 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: is gonna play. They traded a million picks to go 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: get them. Would you rather start Lance or Fields? Probably? Lands? 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I think Lands, plus he has better weapons around him. Yeah, 76 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: I trust the coaching staff more, like the weapons better 77 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: and they're gonna let him run. I think they're gonna 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: persuade him to run. You know. I think Fields throws 79 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: a all better. Yeah, but I think Lance is a 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: better fantasy guys to kill your like Kiddled in debot value. 81 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: I think Kiddles like the most underrated guy in fantasy 82 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, his usage is awesome, it just 83 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: hasn't quite clicked that he hasn't gotten the end zone 84 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: that much, you know, so Deebo stealing it all debos. Yeah, 85 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and they're not throwing the ball a ton. I don't know. 86 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: I would put an offering for Kiddle right now though, Yeah, 87 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: but I don't think it. I don't think it necessarily 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: hurts Samuel though, because so much of his stuff is 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: short and it's a lot of him create. You go create, 90 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna get you the ball quickly, and you go 91 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: run with the ball. I mean, I've been holding I 92 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: hope for Ay. I think it hurts him, hurt him. 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: He's done the third option at best, and all of 94 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: a sudden you're not throwing as much or as well. 95 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: You know that hurts him. Yeah, they'll find ways to 96 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: get like Samuel, even if he's not getting six or 97 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: seven catches, they'll run him on sweeps and stuff, you know, 98 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: so he'll still get to get the short stuff. Yeah, 99 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of quarterback proof. And want to think about it. Yeah, 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: low and Thomas with a hamstring out at least four weeks. 101 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: He was a guy. Yeah, on the I r um 102 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: they signed j Sternberger today. You know they're searchant. They're 103 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: searching badly. Um does that like, who's your pivot there? 104 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: If you if if you Logan Thomas is your starter, 105 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: obviously you had you already had a low end right 106 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: tight end one you if you were smart, you drafted 107 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, a high end tight end to knowing that, 108 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: but if you didn't, Like last year, I was having 109 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: a Dalton Schultz and that's the name I was gonna 110 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: bring up. I mean, like last year I was super 111 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: reluctant to give Bob Tanyan credit and I missed on him. 112 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, I mean he did well. Um is Knox 113 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: or Max Williams or Shultz or one of those guys. 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: This year's Tanyan probably looks like first round picks coming 115 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: out the producing and tight ends take time. I mean, 116 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: I think those guys are all usable. Yeah, you know, 117 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't love them, but I mean they'll get your 118 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: points every week, which is I'm gonna get your Logan 119 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: Thomas points. So I mean that's I think it helps 120 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: the Barn a little bit. I told you. I think 121 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: I think I told you that my one league, Logan 122 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Thomas the guy traded Logan Thomas where he traded for 123 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: Logan Travis Kelsey for Logan Thomas and Kareem Hunt. It's 124 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: the worst trade of terrible and now he loses Thomas. 125 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: He got basically nothing for Travis Kelly. Yeah. Yeah, fantasy 126 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: for the last ten years, that's just stupidity. Um. Looking 127 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: here at some of the injury news from around the league, 128 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: uh gif. Varney Bernard returned to practice in a limited 129 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: fashion this week. I'm not running. He only has value 130 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay's behind right there. Just not gonna be 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: behind enough, probably not. Um, Gronk is out for a 132 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I mean, does that mean some short 133 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: throws Mike go g O's way get enough? Other web Yeah, 134 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean say I think it helps a b and 135 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: everybody else that like rons out, Um, that's a bad 136 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: backfield for nets. Really earned the most touches and I 137 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: mean you'll probably get them, but even that, he still 138 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: didn't score a touchdownything. He doesn't look great, you know him, 139 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: but he's a starter at least for fantasy for that yeah. Um. 140 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: A couple of injuries here for the Dolphins Byron Jones 141 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: with a quad and the can Achilles with sidelines for 142 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: one day Wednesday's practice. They played Tampa Bay this week. 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: They need him on the field. Like, for example, my 144 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: starters are set and then I've got like three dudes 145 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about. Is my flex and A B 146 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: is one of them? I'm starting them? Yeah, Howard can 147 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: only cover one of those? Yeah? Quit quick question for you. 148 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: I was talking to my buddies about this, is A 149 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: B the most valuable Bucks receiver? Like if I if 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: you Godwin and I A B, would you make that trade? 151 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: Or Evans? I think he is probably and I didn't. 152 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: I purposely didn't draft any of those guys because of that, 153 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: because downgraded them behind some guys who I knew more 154 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: about their situation. I think there'll be some squeaky wheel things, 155 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, like the down week, Abe had the next 156 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: one to get a good one. Down week, Evan's had 157 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: the next one to get a good one, you know, 158 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: So it'll be a little hit this week. Also for 159 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: the for the Dolphins, DeVante Parker was limited Wednesday. Usually 160 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: look at the goss, that's no big deal. But he's 161 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. He's he's think he's average six targets a game. 162 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, so you're right they're gonna be losing. Yeah, yeah, 163 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: I mean Parker's a startable play. Can they block Tampa 164 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: Bay's front? Probably not? Yeah, you know, I mean I 165 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: think Tampa Bay roars back in this game and destroys Miami. 166 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: But Miami is playing really poorly. But Parker is usable. Yeah, 167 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: David and Joku not practicing today, Um, he's not. He's 168 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: not all that. They don't throw the ball enough to 169 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: make anybody valuable, but they play a lot of tight 170 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: ends on the field, but they all pillage off each other. Really, 171 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: the joke is a dynasty stash of mine. See where 172 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: he ends right now? It's not a great fantasy player, No, 173 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: it really isn't. I mean, I mean, I don't want 174 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: any they're there are on very few teams that I want. Okay, 175 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: do just take anybody out of that offense, Cleveland's offense. 176 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want any of those guys. I 177 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: don't want any Dolphins right now. I don't think there's 178 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: there's teams out there, even though I mean Cleveland's offense 179 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: is Okay, take a talent, but I don't want any 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: of those guys. I don't want any of the bucks receivers, 181 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: because I don't know I'm gonna be wrong every week. Yeah, No, 182 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: it's it's if you can avoid those headaches. Obviously, in 183 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: fantasy just sleepy a lot easier. I just make sure 184 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: you want your your your choices to be easy. You know, 185 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I think I told you in that in 186 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: that league, I've got DK Metcalf, I've got Deebo Samuel, 187 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: and I've got Mike Williams, and you're starting, and I've 188 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: also have te Higgins. I can only start two of them. 189 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: I can I could start three and one of them 190 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: in a flex. But I'm always gonna be you know, 191 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: you always run the risks you're gonna be wrong. Last 192 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: week I was wrong. I started DKA, I started DK 193 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: Metcalf and Mike Williams, Deebo Samuel sitting on my bench 194 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: with thirty any points and I lost. Obviously that's frustrating. 195 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: I can't look at the other way. I mean, maybe 196 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm just an optimist, like I want my guys on 197 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: the bench to do well, but then I can trade them, right, 198 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to with guys in my teach Bo 199 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: Samuel to a couple of different guys. Nobody like, oh no, 200 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: Like he's like the fourth best scoring. That's the should be. 201 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: If that's the perception of him, people should be putting 202 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: offers in for him right now. You would think, you know, 203 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: our listeners, you would think, um, this is interesting for 204 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: for Green Bay. Uh r, Alexander who got hurt against 205 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers. He's not playing this week. It's a big 206 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: deal for them. They're corn There's a lot of rumors 207 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Gilmore could end up in Green Bay they Playincinnati. Yeah, 208 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: that might be a sneaky over a game. Yeah, Burgers 209 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: will probably do pretty well there. I don't know. Higgins 210 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: comes back or not supposed to be back. In fact, 211 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: he returned to practice today, getting a limited session. Anyways, Wow, 212 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: they weathered that storm pretty well and he's a good player. 213 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: Um boy, I think it could be a big day 214 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: for Chase to the problem for mixing. Yeah, they're just 215 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: going to thrill like crazy. Yeah, are you interested in 216 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: p Ryan? I mean, I guess since he's a starter 217 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: potentially this week. The thing that sticks in my mind, though, 218 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: it's how they handled that mixing injury last year. They're like, oh, 219 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: he's week to week ten weeks later, I'm still sitting 220 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: on my team, and like this guy is never gonna 221 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: play and there two and ten. Zach Taylor said he's 222 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: day to day with a low grade angle sprain. I 223 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: don't know that Joe Mixon is is Mr. Blood and 224 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: guts when it comes to these kind of things, right, 225 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: And he gets a lot of workload. And yeah, I 226 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: know they really like the Davis or not Davis um 227 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: the kid out of Michigan they drafted. Yeah, he's got 228 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of team plays on passing downs and p 229 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: runs there at the runner. That's what I'm gonna say 230 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: is I think he hurts p Rhyan if mixings out 231 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: because I think it becomes more of a time share. Yeah, 232 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: I think so. Chris Evans, Yeah, Julio Jones still sideline 233 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: today and that's not unusual for him. Wednesday. Wouldn't bother 234 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: me with him, but I never is coming off of 235 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: an injury A right A. J Brown did practice everyone 236 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: I heard um no, no, okay, I saw a blur 237 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: my phone. Maybe it just grades that, you know, Wow, 238 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: they need those guys. I mean they have a terrible matchup, 239 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: so maybe don't run. He was limited today limited, but 240 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: they had the same thing last week. I mean, you 241 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: just lost to the Jets without those dudes good, Yeah, 242 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean you buy any of the one of them. No, 243 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: maybe they haven't thrown the ball well at all this year. 244 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: The protection is not great. They're not the same. I 245 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: don't think without the coordinator too. Um aj Brown is 246 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: big picture. He reminds me a Julio so much good 247 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: and bad. Yeah, like all the time. Yeah, it's all 248 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the time. It's a real thing for him. Amari Cooper 249 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: with the hamstring did not practice on Wednesday. Yeah, he 250 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: was in now that game. So although I think Gallup 251 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: is eligible to come back, yeah, but they haven't activated. 252 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean he would have to start practicing like now 253 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: to be now activated. So if gallops on the waiver wire, 254 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: I'd grab him, you know, and and maybe maybe a 255 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: luck out and he plays and Cooper doesn't one of 256 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: these coming weeks. But yeah, Chris Carson with the neck 257 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: they played Thursday night, he is questionable to play against 258 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: the Rams. If he doesn't play, it would be Alex 259 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: Collins against the Rams. I'd put a cheap waiver ware 260 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: wire claiming for Collins, just because the Cars are gonna 261 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: last a year. I mean, even if I mean, if 262 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: I get Collins in the way in the fat pickup, 263 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna start him this week. And this might 264 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: even be his best chance to produce. But he's probably 265 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: gonna get touches this year. So I figured out what 266 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: the heck I mean, I bought the roster guy. Yeah, 267 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: we mentioned Smith, Schuster, Claypool, Ben Roethlisberger, all that stuff 268 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: with the Steelers stuff. Jamal Williams limited in Wednesday's practice 269 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: for the Lions was Swift as well. Hawk. I think 270 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: I know hawkwa Hockinson with the knee is not practicing today. 271 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: I would imagine that Hawkinson prob I mean he finished 272 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: that game. Guys, I think cockuts and Swift and Williams 273 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: all play. Um, are you starting Jamal Williams? No, No, 274 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I think he's I'm torn on that. And I think 275 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: he's a flex. He's not. Here's the thing. He's not 276 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: catching the ball like he did in Green Bay. He's 277 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: just the runner. Right. A couple of little note nuggets 278 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: I just uncovered in the last twenty four hours. Nanja 279 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: Harris leads the league in running back targets. Swift is too, 280 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, and that's gold. And I hosted a podcast 281 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: Locked on Dynasty, and every month or so we look 282 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: at who were the most valuable assets in Dynasty right now, 283 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: and my partner like goes and does the data and 284 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: all their average draft posicians all that stuff, and right now, 285 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: if you were to have a Dynasty draft, most cases, 286 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey be the first pick off the board, which 287 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: makes sense. DeAndre Swifts now going second to keep. I mean, 288 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: like I never thought of him in that light until 289 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: we did that podcast, Like, is he that value? He 290 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: doesn't run the ball enough for me too? It's really 291 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: impressive on tape. Yeah. I mean, what's funny though, is 292 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: there It's a bad time to be picking at the 293 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: top of Dynasty drafts, Like the Kamaras and Cooks are 294 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: getting old, you know what I mean? So, I mean 295 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: would rather have nausey though, Like I might rather have 296 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: naugy for his life than I know he's gonna get 297 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: the goal line carries to get a million carries, right, 298 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: a million touches. No. I just found that interesting that 299 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: Swiss considered in that light. I'm like, wow, wow, I'm 300 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: not ready to go there. That's a little ambitious. Russell 301 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: Gage remains sideline for Wednesday's practice. That means Cordell Patterson 302 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: continues to Uh, he gets used as his receiver, he 303 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: gets used running back. He's been he's the most efficient 304 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: player and like the history of Fantasy for snaps and 305 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: he's running back or wide receiver one right now. Like, 306 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that's keeping up. He can't possibly. I mean, 307 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: he's a special player in the ball in his hands 308 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: and they are using him every week. But boy, I'd 309 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: be entertaining offers for him all I treade him in 310 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: a heartbeat whatever I mean, not whatever I can get 311 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: from I'd hold out for something. But you can get 312 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: stuff for Oh yeah, it's funny. I was listening to 313 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: a podcast on the way here where it is a 314 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: fantasy related one, and the guys like, so I put 315 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: Corral Patterson on my trade block. Someone offered me, Mike 316 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: Williams Ford. I took it, of course, you do, right, 317 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you get that kind of value 318 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: for him for these running back star of teams, dump them. Yeah. Absolutely. Uh. 319 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: George Kittle with the calf, did not practice on Wednesday. 320 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: He had that calf going into last week's game. Played 321 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: four four catches for forty yards and eleven targets. That's 322 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: what's kind of scary about See. I think that's what's 323 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: encouraging about him is eleven targets, playing every snap, running 324 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: a lot of rants can't get him the football it do. 325 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: He could have a hundred targets. It's I think this 326 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: is the bylow point for Kittle. You keep saying that 327 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: you're your Kittle truth or I'm such a kid truth. 328 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: He's a good football player, but it's a bad situation. 329 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy ge stinks. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm such a kiddle truth. 330 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: Like if somebody said, right now your next the Steelers 331 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: can have Jimmy Garoppolo next year, that's gonna come up 332 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: a lot. By the way, nothing all they're gonna do 333 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: is assign him to the same contract they signed Mason 334 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: Rudolph too. I'm saying, no, we're gonna differ on that. 335 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: He stinks he's going to come up for the Steelers. 336 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: He stinks, Well, I've thought about him as a Steeler, 337 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: he stinks. I think he is the same now as 338 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: the Andy Dalton's of the world, where yeah, he stinks, 339 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: you can get him for nothing, pay him eight million 340 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: a year. I wouldn't give him eight dollars and drap somebody. 341 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: I must say he's the answer. I wouldn't give him 342 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: eight pennies to walk my dog. He stinks. It's a 343 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: good looking young man. That's why I wouldn't. I've been 344 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: worry my wife would like run off with the guy. No, 345 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: he stinks. He's hard to trust. Oh my god, his 346 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: pocket presence is atrocious. Bad. When he gets hurt of time, 347 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: it's awful. I have soured on him getting wrong. I 348 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: liked him before or like when he was taking teams 349 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl. But he's in the mix. He's gonna 350 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: be rumored to the Steelers a lot. I'm just telling 351 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: you better. It'll be just that rumors, because I'll tell 352 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: you right now if they go that route, I will 353 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: just rip them up one side and down. Stinks. If 354 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: it's with the first round pick, he stinks. So what 355 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: are you think i'd rather have? I'd rather again, I 356 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: would rather start Mason Rudolph next year, Mason Rudolph or 357 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins than than pivot to Jimmy Garoppolo because he stinks. 358 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: I know what he is. He stinks. I think he's 359 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: a better quarterback than those two second Wow let's talk 360 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: disagree on that one. Elijah Mitchell with the shoulder remained 361 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: limited today. Good news for trade sermon owners. I guess 362 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: I think Mitchell's gonna take over, though I think it's 363 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: a wrong decision. I don't understand that it wasn't bad less. Yeah. 364 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: In fact, if you if you have sermon, this might 365 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: be the time to can you start sermon? Yet? Like 366 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: I mentioned my flex option, he's one of the ones 367 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: I consider with a B and I can't quite do 368 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: it yet. I think he's way better than Mitchell. I 369 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: think he's gonna pay this too. But if they're going 370 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: to use him like he's the number two. If Mitchell returns, 371 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: I just that's another one I drafted sermon. But I 372 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: just hate having running backs. It seems like every year 373 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: I have one of their running backs to Nightmare and 374 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson will come back in a month. If you 375 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: don't get the hasty, you'll show up for a week 376 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: or something right, they'll pick up, you know, Davante Freeman 377 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: off waivers or something that's right. The afore mentioned Jimmy Garoppolo, 378 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: who stinks, by the way, it did not practice today. 379 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: Didn't practice? Yeah, well he started thinking we start another 380 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: game for the Niners. Probably not because he's come to 381 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: steal because he stinks. How about this one? Christian McCaffrey 382 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: returned the limited practice, so sounds like he might play. Yeah, yeah, 383 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people saw that injury and 384 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: thought it's not that horrible, right. I would probably lean 385 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: towards holding him out. Yeah, I mean, but he's very 386 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: near because just made a big trade for Christian for 387 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmore as well, trading for Henderson the week before. 388 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't think they get him into the lineup this week. No, 389 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think it's probably Yeah, no, I bet not. 390 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: Probably at least a week. But that's something that I mean, 391 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: if you're if you were holding onto the Carolina defense, 392 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: which was playing a group, yeah, all of a sudden, 393 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: now you're like, okay, yeah, right, you know you replaced 394 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: the rookie Joe Horn with Joe Joe Horner j J. 395 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: That's right. But yeah, that's a nice Uh no, that's 396 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: a good defense. They rushed the pastor well, they're young, aggressive. 397 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: Even guys like Shack Thompson haven't been and missed a 398 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: game or two. That's one of the best players he's 399 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: coming back, so I would be happy about the panther. 400 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: D uh Ezekiel Elliott did not practice on Wednesday. About 401 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: that one, because he's actually looked good, much better than 402 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: last year, and it's not just because of the circumstances. 403 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: He looks better. Giving him the football, Give him a football. Yeah, 404 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: tough hard runner. Jerry Judy news Yeah. Vic Fangier said 405 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: he hopes that Jerry Judy with the high ankle spring 406 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: he is able to read turn after missing six weeks. 407 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: Six weeks a long time. He's only like three weeks 408 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: into this thing. Okay, I thought he was coming back 409 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: in like a week or two. No, he's able to 410 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: return after missing six He hopes Jerry Judy is able 411 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: to return from missing six weeks. Got hurt in week one. Yeah, 412 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: so maybe he's in three. He's halfway through this thing 413 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: and they'll then still have their bye week, Like, so 414 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be missing him, Like, yeah, he's a hard 415 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: one to hold if you don't have an I R 416 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: spot or something like that, especially if you start going 417 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: getting into your bys. But it might pay off. I 418 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: mean come week ten or so. I mean, don't start 419 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: in the first week back. I mean stay with Michael Thomas. 420 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: I'd have a hard time starting him. He should be 421 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: getting he's near too. Yeah, he's getting close. Kenny Golladay 422 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: with the groom was limited Wednesday. Um, he was actually 423 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: usable this week. No, I think he's good. I think 424 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: he's a starting fantasy wide receiver. Darius Slayton remains sidelines. 425 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd with the hamstring remains sidelines. So giddy up 426 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: to Kenny Golliday because Aris Tony was actually pretty decent 427 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: too with Shepherd and slating out. Yeah, I wouldn't expect 428 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: I mean he's she was Shepherd's back. To expect Tony 429 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: to get back. I think Shepherd leads the theme of 430 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: receptions most weeks. Yeah. Uh. Curtis Samuel was sidelined again. 431 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: He just can't stay healthy. I meant to bring him 432 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: up when we were talking about Logan Thomas, just like, well, 433 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: at least they get in. They lost the pass catcher 434 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: and they're adding one. Samuel's hard to trust though to 435 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: his game a lot of money. I mean, they have 436 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: planning for him. We haven't seen it. One thing we 437 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: haven't talked about yet, the Steeler related, is that Anthony 438 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: me Farland designate designated him to return here. Uh, they 439 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: had twenty one days to do something with him, and 440 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: given the fact that well nobody else behind Naja Harris 441 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: has done anything because Benny Snell stinks, right, Yeah, all 442 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden doesn't exist. Yeah, it's like, I don't 443 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: think he's very good on special teams and that's that's 444 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: the thing saving Snell. By the way, folks, he's the 445 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: highest special team snap guys. It doesn't mean they should 446 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: give him carries because he doesn't do anything. He's not. Yeah, 447 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 1: but mcfar one's interesting is definitely relevant. Yeah. I think 448 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: there's there's you know, all the stuff we saw in 449 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: the in the training camp. I saw this a lot. 450 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: Was McFarland on the field with Naja Harris and they 451 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, and all of a sudden, you're running 452 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: some jet sweep stuff with mc farland and then maybe 453 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: he gets some backfield maybe a split juice, maybe a 454 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: split Harris out wide and put yeah, put put the 455 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: McFarland in your backfield. So I think gets better news 456 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: for Steelers and it is for fantasy world. But he's 457 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: a welcome edition back to what they go. It could be, 458 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: it could be good news if something were to happen 459 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: to Naja Harris, because all those passes that they're throwing 460 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: to him, he would be the one. He would be 461 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: the one day he wouldn't get. No, he's not gonna 462 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: have a nineteen Nats game, but he's got This might 463 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: troum with Benny Snell. I think he's an NFL running back, 464 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: but he's an NFL running back when everything is great, 465 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: and right now, everything is not great at the Steeler's 466 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: offensive line. So he gets his one or two carries 467 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: from no yards. Those are wasted down. It just doesn't 468 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: help anybody, right because he just can't create anything on 469 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: his own. One thing I've said about Snow even before 470 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: the Steelers drafted him, and I think is true. His 471 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: best attribute at the NFL level, not a Kentucky or 472 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, is he can handle a workload and he's 473 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: tough and gets better as the game goes on. But 474 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: that means I gotta hand it to him five times. 475 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: You know I'm not doing that at this left just 476 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: best running back in the world. You know, I've seen 477 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: enough of that that Yeah, my god, I don't want 478 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: to see it again. One fantasy nugget when you're talking 479 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: about McFarland. Keep an eye on Darrington Evans with Tennessee. 480 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: They were similar players. Yeah, if Henry ever breaks down, 481 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: I think he would be the guy to own there too. Yeah, 482 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean it's super deep. Just put a watch list 483 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: on him. You know, we talked about Peyton Barber last week. 484 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: It's not happened in today. He's out multiple games of 485 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: to injury. So that looks terrible by the way. Yeah, 486 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: it has to be Drake, right, but they don't seem 487 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: to like the Drake. Everybody hates the drink. Drink. It's 488 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: a bad signing to be. Yeah, they looking at this 489 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: going why did we do this? Why do we get 490 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: the Drake all that money? Yeah, they throw more, Maybe 491 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: they throw more. That just goes against everything that they 492 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: want to do. It is. It's a strange situation because 493 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: Jacobs doesn't look right and he's on the injury report 494 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: all the time and he always will be run so hard. 495 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: So maybe the Drake is the guy to own, maybe 496 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: I mean by default, by default. It was kind of 497 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: telling though the Barber went ahead of him quickly. Who 498 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: they picked up off the scrappy for nothing after giving 499 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: us eight millions right, it's just an awful signing. But 500 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: that is gonna do it. By the way, I will 501 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: Fuller placed on injury reserve at the broken finger. There's 502 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: a shocker. Will Fuller's hurt. He seems to stay healthy 503 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: when he's doing p e d S, but not when 504 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't. That would have to do with a broken finger. 505 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: But I mean, that's that's not it's not a soft 506 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: tissue aculation. He was healthy and then he got suspended 507 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: for PDS. So I just can't stay happy. That's why 508 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: I don't trust will Fuller. I will never trust will Fuller. 509 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: And he doesn't stink, but I don't trust him. He's 510 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: not Jimmy Garoppolo wattles the wattle. They threw them all 511 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: all the time. He's just for no yards, for no 512 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: yards and their line is much worse than the field. Absolutely, 513 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: But that's going to do it for our show today. 514 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: So for my partner Matt Williamson, for Brian La Martina 515 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: here on side keeping us on the air.
