1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of is information.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree?

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 3: And five five dollars?

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: This is a raal level howboy traveled one.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Humans need fantasy to be human? Oh my goodness, that misspeak.

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: Prone the best, relentless, refusing to give up.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: All right, hit that horn, very bless their.

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Fantasy Flex podcast from the Action Network

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: and Fantasy Labs. I'm your host, Chris Raybond NFL. Week

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: two is here, and as always, I'm joined by one

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: of the most accurate drankers in the game, odds maker

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: Sean Kerner. We're gonna break down waivers today.

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 3: Sean.

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: How's it gone?

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: It's up pretty good.

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 4: I had a bit of a rough Week one when

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: it came to props, But like I mentioned our discord,

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: I always tend to go light in week one because

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: I always consider it more of a guessing game. We

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: don't know what these coaches are thinking, We don't know

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: which players are actually healthy or hurt or whatever. So

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: I always love week two once we at least have

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: some data to go off of. But just overall, Week

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: one was very sloppy at least in terms of, you know,

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: passing offenses and for fantasy I mean, my god, the

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: tight end position was a complete dumpster fire.

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll get to that. But how was your

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: Week one betting?

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: It was like moving money around. I think it was

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 2: like five hundred. But Fantasy I did pretty good. I mean,

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: both of us got some really good calls on the pod,

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: which we'll get to. So yeah, that was that was cool.

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, the passing games were just rusty as hell.

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: I think the league average is six point six yards

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: in attempt right now, so you know it's usually around seven.

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's the passing games have some catching up

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: to do, but you know, some regression to the mean.

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about it all and we'll jump.

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Right into our top waiver wire streamer targets at quarterback.

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360

Speaker 1: Labs dot com.

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: All right, Waivers Week one was a bit of a

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: bit of a bit weird. I did hit on Baker Mayfield,

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: and I think you like Baker Mayfield this week.

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: Talk to me.

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's kind of obvious to like Baker Mayfield

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: this week after you know, he was the QB two

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 4: overall in Week one, great call on that thanks to

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: you know, four touchdown passes, and like we mentioned, just

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: the overall league was terrible when it came to passing offense.

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: A lot of quarterbacks didn't see playing time in the preseason.

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 4: Baker was one of those few starters that did play

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: in preseason. It was it was only one drive at

58
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: least something. But he looks sharp and on the same

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: page with everybody. You know, it's worth noting he did

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: face the Commander's defense, so we have to kind of

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: put all await in that. You know, they're probably a

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: defense we want to target most weeks than not. But

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: he has another great spot this week, I think at Detroit.

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: You know, we've talked about the Lions having more of

65
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: a pass funnel defense. That could be the case again

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: this week, especially if DJ Reader finally makes his Lion's

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: debut this week. But also, you know, on the other side,

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay's secondary is dealing with a ton of injuries.

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: They are just decimated after week one, so I'm thinking

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: the Lions offense should be able to have their way

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: put up a ton of points that is going to

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: force Baker and the Tampa Bay offense to throw even more.

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: So this could be a potential shootout. So you know,

74
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: I think Baker Mayfield is a fringe QB one this week.

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: He opens the week as my QB thirteen and clearly

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: is the top streamer this week. You know, still available

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: in sixty five percent leagues. Unfortunately, you might have to

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: actually bid some cash, but if you're desperate, like if

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: you had Jordan Love or somebody, it's probably worth it.

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: Just for now. He's looking very sharp and has another

81
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: good matchup this week.

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know it's gonna it should be a shootout.

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: That total is climbing. I think it's that fifty one

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: and a half right now. So uh, and they added

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: another weapon with McMillan. So Tampa Bay's offense looking good.

86
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: It's maybe it wasn't Canalis after all, because I think,

87
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: like Thrice young Man, he might be the worst quarterback.

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: Like he was looking like Hackenberg out there. He just

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a throw.

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: So Deshaun Watson. I don't know, it's close.

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes than Watson.

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: I mean I was watching that game closely.

93
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I watched both of them. Yeah, it's yeah.

94
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean de Shaun Watson didn't throw a pick on

95
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: his first past Uh did he know he didn't? But yeah, right, yeah, hey,

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: twice as twice as twice as long. I got a

97
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: few guys this week, So right now, the top guy

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: on my list is actually Justin Fields. He's available in

99
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of weeks. At Denver, uh, and he's

100
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: my QB eleven. Denver allowed you know, four carries thirty

101
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: yards in a rushing touchdown at Gino Smith. I think

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: it was one of the longest scrambles of his career.

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: He just busted through the middle. So that's good news

104
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: for Justin Fields. And you know he's gonna get a

105
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: ton of rushing attempts. It should be a close, low

106
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: scoring game, but that actually helps Fields, you know. And

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: you know, if for some reason they give Russell Wilson

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: the starting job back even though Tom Win did start

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: the press conferences was by saying, we're preparing as the

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: fields is our guys, So it sounds like he is.

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: But if.

112
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: Russ does make his return, a couple other guys I

113
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: have ranked fifteen sixteen, and that's Matthew Stafford and Daniel Jones.

114
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Stafford's available in sixty four percent of weeks, Jones ninety

115
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: three percent on ESPN. And in terms of Stafford, he's

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: losing Pooka Nkua, which hurts, but Tyra Johnson came on strong.

117
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: Parkinson looks decent as well.

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Robinson still there, so they have a they still

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: have weapons even without Pooka, and Arizona allowed Josh Allen

120
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: to complete seventy eight percent of his passes at ten

121
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: point one yards in attempt. So this is still a

122
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: good matchup for Stafford and a decent offense is going

123
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: through some kind of shaky shakiness with the supporting cast

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: in terms of injuries with Nakula and Viola, and he's

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: got the left tackle suspended, but this this matchup is

126
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: still too good to pass up.

127
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: And then Daniel Jones, same thing. You know.

128
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: Washington a lot of the second most points to quarterbacks.

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Last week talked about Baker Mayfield and he completed eighty

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: percent of his passes at nine point six yards in attempt,

131
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: so right there with Arizona in terms of the efficiency.

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: But Daniel Jones has these crazy home road splits in

133
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: his career, and it's you know, I don't know what

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: to make of them, because you know, usually it's just

135
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: kind of natural that you perform better at home, and

136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, you tend to be the favorite more and

137
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: whatnot and score more points. But Daniel Jones has been

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: a lot better on the road. And it's over what now,

139
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: almost six years of data, six point nine yards in

140
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: attempt on the road compared to five point eight at home,

141
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: a thirty five to fourteen touchdown interception ratio on the

142
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: road twenty seven to twenty eight at home, which is

143
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: just utterly ridiculous. Maybe that East Rutherford crowd gets in

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: its head or something, I don't know, but this seems

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: like a classic. You know, Daniel Jones, everyone's calling for

146
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: his head, and he just comes back and puts up

147
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: a good game and makes Gians sense feel good for

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: a week, and then then reminds everyone soon enough why

149
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: they hate him.

150
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: So that's just what it seems like.

151
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: But the home road splits over a five plus a

152
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: year sample size are pretty crazy, So like Daniel Jones

153
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: and if if you can't get Stafford or if you're

154
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: just kind of weary about all the all the injuries

155
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: for the Rams.

156
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when it comes to Justin Field hopefully ended

157
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: up taking that week one start bet nine to one. Yeah,

158
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: I was like, well, there's also a chance that Russ

159
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: can like get hurt or something, And sure enough that's

160
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: what happened, so that that cash I think it closed

161
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: at like plus three twenty. But man, yeah, like it's

162
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: gonna be hard for us to get his job back

163
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: at the Steelers. Keep winning with Fields under center too.

164
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: It shouts to the Fox cameraman because at the end

165
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: of that game when the quack struck zero, you know,

166
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: they kind of capture everyone running from the sideline jogging

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: in to give depths to the other side, and they

168
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: captured Justin Fields. But I feel like they did this purposely,

169
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Like out of the corner of the camera you just

170
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: see a very like angry looking Russell Wilson, not happy.

171
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: He doesn't look happy at all, like he's not celebrating.

172
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: He just looks mad, shook, like, ah, did I just

173
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: lose my job? And Fields did't even play that Wow,

174
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: but Russell Wilson. We all know what Russell Wilson was thinking, so.

175
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: Camera, Yeah, I mean.

176
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 2: I feel like his he had his he had a

177
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: pretty low like his haircut was very low, lower than

178
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: I've seen it.

179
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe he balding. I don't know, maybe stressed out,

180
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: but yeah.

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: But Russ wearing full pads even though he's inactive is

182
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: like one of the most rust things ever.

183
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to do those what is it

184
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: knee bends? What was he doing?

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: Leg we're talking about the plane.

186
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was something else like me raised leg raises.

187
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't even remember.

188
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,120

00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: let's jump over to a running back who you're targeting

201
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: on the wire entering Week two.

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so these two backs, I wouldn't say they're week

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: two plays. Again, check my initial week two ranks at

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: Fantasy Labs to see who's ranked high enough for you

205
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: to even start Week two.

206
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: But I'm going with two backups.

207
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: I you know, moved up my backup running back up

208
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: side chart significantly this week. And that's Bucky Irving of

209
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: the Bucks, who's available in seventy nine percent leagues, and

210
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: Juliel McLachlin of the Broncos, who's available in sixty three

211
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: percent leagues. And you know I was high on Buck

212
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: Irving heading in the season. You know, I thought he

213
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: could potentially push Rashaud White to have, you know, more

214
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: of a fifty to fifty backfield, maybe even leap frog him,

215
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 4: just because White's been so ineffective his first couple of seasons.

216
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: And Todd Bowles is kind of mentioned he wants to

217
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: go at the hot hand, but there's no one really

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: been there to like kind of push Rashad White, so

219
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: they took Buckyr in the fourth round, like him as

220
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 4: a talent, and sure enough, you know, Irving was more

221
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 4: efficient than White in Week one, so I think we

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 4: could see this kind of turn into a murky fifty

223
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: to fifty backfield sooner than later. And you know, Irving's

224
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: always going to be a Rashad White injury way of

225
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: potential RB two value. So he's a guy that you

226
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: know probably won't be that expensive this week, but you

227
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: want to kind of grab him before he goes off.

228
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: And I kind of like the fact that the Bucks

229
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: play the Lions this week in Week two because again

230
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: I expect RASHAUW. White to be the starting running back

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: right now, he's probably still the lead back, but this

232
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: is a brutal matchup, so he could have another inefficient

233
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: game against the Lions rndby, which kind of could propel Irving,

234
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: you know, a week three year sooner. So I kind

235
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: of like the fact that it's a brutal matchup this week.

236
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: So I'm high on Bucky Irving. I think that he

237
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: could become an RB three flex back pretty soon, even

238
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: if for Shad White is healthy. So I think he's

239
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 4: a great stash right now, and Jamiel McLaughlin similar situation,

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: but you know, he is basically already made the Denver

241
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: backfield a fifty to fifty one at worst. You know,

242
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: he got five catches for only one yard. I was

243
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 4: watching that game. A couple of those he got tripped up.

244
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 4: He was close to you know, breaking you know, five

245
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: to ten run at least, But it was just a

246
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: rough game for a lot of the backfield passing in

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: that game.

248
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: But he seems like, you know.

249
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: RB three flex fringe guy even with Javanti healthy right

250
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: now and has you know RB two upside if Javante

251
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: were to miss time. And McLaughlin's very explosive even though

252
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: he didn't have an a fishing game, he can do

253
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: a lot with fewer touches the most back. So again,

254
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 4: McLoughlin's not a guy you're probably trusting in week two,

255
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: but he's definitely worth a stash just kind of see

256
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 4: how this evolves where he could end up emerging as

257
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: the lead back for a backfield. So he's another guy

258
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: that he might not go for a ton of fave

259
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: dollars this week or you know, you probably don't need

260
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: a number one waiver to get him, but he's definitely

261
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: a better stash than I thought going into the season.

262
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just a weird game.

263
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Javonte out snapped McLoughlin, but McLoughlin got like six more

264
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: touches than Javonte, but none of them really gained any

265
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: yardage either way.

266
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: They always got free safety too.

267
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah on the other side, Yeah, that was just I mean,

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: what a weird game, all right for me, Jordan Mason

269
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: has to be number one, probably gets another start this week.

270
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter reporting that there's a real chance that Christian

271
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: McCaffrey could miss this week as well. Mason twenty eight

272
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: carries one hundred and forty one yards and one touchdown

273
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: rushing against the Jets, added a catch as well. Played

274
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: eighty one percent of the snaps, And if McCaffrey were

275
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: to miss this week, he'd need my RB six wood Mason.

276
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: So he's still available in sixty three percent of weeks.

277
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, he did get picked up in about a

278
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: third of weeks, you know, by people who saw I

279
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: guess McCaffrey inactive. But you know, if you can get him,

280
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: I think he should be able to give you one start.

281
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: But even if he doesn't.

282
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: I feel like he's just such a valuable handcuff now

283
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: that we know he'll essentially like get the full Christian

284
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: McCaffrey workload if McCaffrey's ever out. So even if you

285
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: want to grab him and maybe try to trade him

286
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: to the McCaffrey owner, if you have a high waiver priority,

287
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: I think he's worth having on your roster as either

288
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: a you know, potential week one week rental or just

289
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: a guy who you use as a trade chip or

290
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: just stash because if you know, McCaffrey is getting up

291
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: there in age and he has had this injury all

292
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: off season, we really didn't know how serious it was.

293
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: We're just finding out now how serious it was. And uh,

294
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: you know that with all the touches that he's had

295
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: over his last few years, Uh, there's a there's a

296
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: chance he could be you know, in and out of

297
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: the lineup all year. So I think Mason is a

298
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: guy that you definitely do want to roster now if

299
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: you like, I wouldn't blow my entire budget or anything

300
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: like that on him, because, like I like, he's not

301
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: even a guarantee to start this week. But you know,

302
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: if you're if you get him for a reasonable spot

303
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: and you have a high priority, I would I would

304
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: take the plunge just because again, this could just be

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: one of those seasons for mccaffe it, and he's had

306
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: a few of those where it's just been uh, in

307
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: and out, in and out, And I think what you

308
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: have a season were he only played three games and

309
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: another one we missed like half the season as well.

310
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, Jordan, Mason and Mitchell. Remember he's on IR

311
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: so this is the Mason Show. Sorry, go ahead, Yeah.

312
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: Just like it's it's important to like do you blow

313
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: your entire fab on a guy that might not even start,

314
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: but he's probably the top handcuff now. And my other

315
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: question is like, even when McCaffrey's healthy, like, do you

316
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 4: think they give Mason enough touches to potentially even like

317
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: flirt with Yeah? Right, And there's a chance. I trust

318
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: Sean McVay the least. I trust Shanahan the second least

319
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: when it comes to coaches. Got there to oh yeah,

320
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: well yeah, yeah, that's true.

321
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: That is he is in that tree. That's very true.

322
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: You know, what if what if Mason gets benched for

323
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: kind of spilling the beans that he knew he was

324
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: starting on Friday. It could be like that, what was

325
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: that Jonah? Who the who's the Patriots? And then he

326
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: got I know, I'm sadding, but I would hop yeah, no,

327
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: I hope he doesn't for that, But yeah, I'm with you.

328
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: He's my rby six.

329
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: If McCaffrey's out, he's essentially taking over the entire role.

330
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: So it's a tough call though, like how much you

331
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: want to spend if you're in a rough spot at

332
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 4: running back. Obviously you want him more than others, but yeah,

333
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: it's it's just a tricky situation when it comes to waivers.

334
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: How much to you know invest in them?

335
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: You know what's funny, I actually I think if you're

336
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: in a rough spot at running back, you probably don't

337
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: want to blow your whole. Like I would lean toward

338
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: not trying to get him, because you want to keep

339
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 2: your fab for a guy like right now, Mason is

340
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: a guy who might start this week and it's just

341
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: a very valuable handcuff. But it's only week one, week two, three, four, five,

342
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 2: we might get a guy that's out for the season,

343
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: and you don't want to have blown your fab on Mason.

344
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: So again, I think this is it's.

345
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: More of a you know, twenty twenty percent cap or

346
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: something like that.

347
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I rereadn't really go yeah crazy.

348
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 4: I think, like you know, Kenneth Walker is banged up.

349
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: I have no idea if he's playing or not this week,

350
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 4: But like sharbon Ay would be a cheaper version of

351
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 4: Jordan Mason, right, I mean he would push you know,

352
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: top fifteen value if Walker's out this week. I just

353
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: think that there's a lot of running backs that do

354
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 4: have fringe RB one upside. So yeah, those guys you

355
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: can get cheaper. So it's so early in the season,

356
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: you don't want to blow everything for one gruntle. But again,

357
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: if McCaffrey's doing something that could linger throughout the season,

358
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 4: it does make Mason more valuable. It's just a very

359
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: very tricky and nuanced situation obviously.

360
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the deeper you are running back, the

361
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: more you kind of can play around and be a

362
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: little more aggressive and try to like I said, you can,

363
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: because then you could just use either him or one

364
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: of your other pieces as trade chips or all of

365
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: them together as trade chips too. So yeah, but if

366
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: you if you're in a rough spot at running back.

367
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: I would hold tight and maybe maybe try to find

368
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: a guy like a McLoughlin or somebody who could just

369
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: give you that fringe flex value. Another guy might be

370
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby, who's available in ninety six percent of week.

371
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: He was out snapped by Travis Etn on passing downs,

372
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: but both got twelve carries. Bigby was more effective seventy

373
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: three yards to Etn's forty four. Ehn did get the

374
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: touchdown and almost had a second, but fumbled on the

375
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 2: one yard line. Ah Man almost cost I had the

376
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 2: Jags plus three to have almost cost the cost us

377
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: to cover there too, But that just doesn't bode well.

378
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: I don't if I recall, that's not the first time

379
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: ETN has fumbled like as he was going into the end,

380
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: and I feel like he did that last year at

381
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: least once too, So we don't know exactly how this

382
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 2: workload is going to be split going forward. I would ETN,

383
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: which should still get you know, sixty forty or better probably,

384
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: but the fact that they both got twelve carries and

385
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: Bigsby was so much more effective and and ETN had

386
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: to do like a disaster, it just doesn't bode well.

387
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: So he should be a lot cheaper, but he is

388
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: my RB thirty nine this week, so again, kind of

389
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: a fringe flex value guy, shouldn't be shouldn't break the bank,

390
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: kind of similar to Gloxlin.

391
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was a year or two early

392
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 4: on Bigsby because he did absolutely nothing last year, but

393
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: also said he would be a potential goal line vulture

394
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: for ETN. So maybe after that fumble he does get

395
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: the next opportunity. We'll see, but that would be a

396
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 4: massive hit DTN's value. And I kind of thought that

397
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: they might split the carries a little bit more evenly

398
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: this week, just because it.

399
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: Was one hundred and fifty. Yeah, in Miami.

400
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: Usually when it's that hot, running backs you know don't

401
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: see a full workload. But Bigsby looks sharp, and you

402
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: know Peterson has been talking him up, so he definitely

403
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 4: matched the coach speak there. But yeah, he's definitely already

404
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: in that kind of friend RB three flex discussion.

405
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even though it was at Miami, Remember Jacksonville

406
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: does play in Jacksonville, so it's not the same a

407
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: game where it's going to be hot, right like this

408
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: week they play at home against Cleveland, then they're on

409
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: a road a couple of times, but you know they're

410
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 2: back home in week five, seven, eight, So no, five

411
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: and eight seven they're I think they're overseas. But yeah,

412
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: it's there should be opportunities for bigs and he just

413
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: looked better than ETN at the least in week one.

414
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: All Right's jump to a wide receiver.

415
00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: Who you like?

416
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: Gott to go with our boy, DeMarcus Robinson. You know,

417
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: it's unfortunate that Pukah is going to miss a handful

418
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 4: of games now, but you know it's gonna have to

419
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 4: be you know, Robinson, potentially Tyler Johnson, who you'll speak

420
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: on kind of stepping up. And in terms of Robinson,

421
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: he's not really going to see a boost in playing time.

422
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: He's already kind of maxing out in that regard, but

423
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: he will, you know, see a spike in targets and

424
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: he's going to move up the target pecking order, so

425
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 4: to speak. So he's a guy that he performed well

426
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: in the scheme at the end of last year. I

427
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: was very high on him heading into this season, so

428
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 4: you know, I think he's the safer option out of

429
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: the two. But I think either way, we're adding these

430
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 4: rams wide receivers and tight, and I'll talk about him later,

431
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: but we're adding these RAMS wide receivers because you know,

432
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 4: this is a great scheme for wide receivers. They're going

433
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: to see a ton of playing time. They play a

434
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 4: ton of eleven personnel. So I think Robinson, if you

435
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: know in you're a league that starts three wide receivers,

436
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: he's play this week. You know, he's my wide receiver

437
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: thirty nine. Being a bit cautious early on, I think

438
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: Cooper Cups is going to be, you know, target hog,

439
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: but I think Robinson is in the mix as you know,

440
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: wide receiver flex play this week, I.

441
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: Mean he was. He was pretty much on the field

442
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: for every snap almost and that's that should continue now

443
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: that there's no takuas So that whole RAMS offense, I mean,

444
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: look looked pretty good.

445
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: Stafford looks pretty good. So they just got to survive

446
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: those O line injuries. But that could just be more

447
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: shorter passes and more PPR value for everyone to go around.

448
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: Last week mentioned Shakir, he actually finishes number twenty three.

449
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: He's like fifty to fifty now, but if he's still

450
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: out there, I think he's worth still worth the speculative ad.

451
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: But Tyler Johnson is the guy. First guy I want

452
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: to talk about. He's available one hundred percent of week.

453
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: No one had him. But the Rams, they.

454
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: Have six wide receivers active on game day, so they

455
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: do the thing where not many teams do this, but

456
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: they it.

457
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: Looks like they have one for one replacements.

458
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: I believe at Well and Robinson, you know, played the

459
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: same spot, and then Tyler Johnson was the one for

460
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: one Nakula replacement, and then Jordan Whittington Cooper Cup. So

461
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: with Nakula going down running only twenty nine percent of

462
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: the routes, Johnson ran sixty five percent of the routes,

463
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: caught five balls for seventy nine on seven targets, was

464
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: targeted on twenty one percent.

465
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Of his routes.

466
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: And I think he could actually be this year's DeMarcus Robinson.

467
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: You know, he looked really good out there, and if

468
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: he's going to be the one for one, which we're

469
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent because you know, now with a

470
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: week to practice, they might switch it up. But it's

471
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: a short week because they you know, played on Sunday

472
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: night football, so it's a little bit of a shorter week.

473
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: But I do think he's worth the spected to have

474
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: had because Stafford is always capable of throwing for three hundred.

475
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: This is a pretty decent offense, even with the injuries.

476
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: And you know, any if he could put up five

477
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 2: for seventy nine, it's kind of like Robinson last year.

478
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: I think he had what was it four or five top,

479
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: but twenty five finishes in a row or something like

480
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: had to close out the year.

481
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: So that could be Johnson.

482
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he already put up at seventy nine yards

483
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: on seven targets is nothing to sneeze at. So I

484
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: do He's right outside my top fifty this week. So

485
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: again I do have Robinson higher. But if you are

486
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: in a deeper league or you just have maybe you

487
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: just want to kind of stash a wide receiver four

488
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: or five that could have wide receiver three or you know,

489
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: flexish value going forward or at least for the next month.

490
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: Tyer Johnson shouldn't be two too expensive. And again he's

491
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: available everywhere, so I would grab him and then another guy.

492
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: I was surprised to see who's available in this many weeks,

493
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: but Brandon Cooks is still available in just over seventy

494
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: percent of weeks. He had four for forty and a

495
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: touch on seven targets, eighty four percent route rate in

496
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: week one, targeted on twenty three percent of his routes.

497
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, Ceedee Lamb.

498
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: A little bit fewer routes than you would expect, but

499
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: I think that might have just been toward the because

500
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 2: of the blowout. But either way, Cooks was right around

501
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: the season average he had last year and routes in

502
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: the mid eighties. And Marshawn Lattimore for the Saints their

503
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: top corner. His hamstring is bothering him, so that means

504
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: Cooks might get more time on rookie kool Aid mcinstry,

505
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: so that could be a good matchup for Cooks.

506
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: So do like Cooks.

507
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: I have him as a top forty receiver this week

508
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: against New Orleans.

509
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: And then Josh Palmer. You liked him last week.

510
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: I still think people should add him this week even

511
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: though he didn't really do anything, because he did run

512
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: a route on ninety two percent of Herbert's dropbacks, So

513
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 2: he is a guy where and the Chargers weren't you

514
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: know their Their past under expectation was about three percent

515
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: three four percent, so what nothing crazy.

516
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't like one of those you.

517
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: Know, oh, we're only gonna throw like twenty times a

518
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: game type thing.

519
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: I think.

520
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: I think the they still know they have Justin Herbert,

521
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: and as he gets more and more chemistry with Paul

522
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: and which he already has and McConkie and John Johnston

523
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: and Hurst, I think they'll be comfortable throwing a decent amount.

524
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: So Josh Palmer, anytime you have ninety percent plus routes

525
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: with a quarterback like Justin Herbert, I still think you

526
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: should add that. Even though McConkie had the better game

527
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: and probably could end up as that number one receiver

528
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 2: sooner than later, you still want the routes and the snaps,

529
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 2: and Palmer, as you've mentioned, has had big games with

530
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: Herbert in the past.

531
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

532
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: When it comes to Brandon Cooks, I'm not sure if

533
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 4: you're factoring in it, like do you have Jake Ferguson

534
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: in or out with your projections with him right now?

535
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: I've Ferguson in because they said they're pretty optimistic on him.

536
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: But I mean, either way, I think Cooks is a

537
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: guy who they were talking about, like beat writers were

538
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: talking about he had a much better camp this year

539
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 2: last year. I think it was I forget what happened,

540
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know, just he didn't really get going.

541
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: I think he had one big game against the Giants

542
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: to kind of save his his stats. But they said

543
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: all offseason with Lamb out that Cooks and Dack's chemistry

544
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: is a lot better. So Cooks has been a guy

545
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: who's been like a you know, wide receiver twish guy

546
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: in the past. So I think he said should at

547
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: least be on benches if you're not going to start.

548
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Him, all right, let's finish it up.

549
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: Well, no, not finish it up, because we got our

550
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: defense and kicker streamers. How could I forget but up

551
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: the skilled positions.

552
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: With hands of kicker discussion coming right?

553
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who do you like it? Tight end?

554
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: Uh So, got to stick with the Rams here.

555
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 4: You know, Kolby Parkinson still available in ninety four percent

556
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: of leagues, and you know, obviously guys like DeMarcus Robinson

557
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 4: and Tyler Johnson get a huge boost with Pookah out,

558
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 4: but you know Parkinson does too. And you know he

559
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: saw you know what, eighty two percent routes on rate,

560
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: which was expected. We expected him to fill in for

561
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: Higbee until he returns, and potentially even after he returns,

562
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: but he should also see a spike in target rate

563
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: without Nakua, which could put him like infringe tight end

564
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: one range. You know, when it comes to Robinson and

565
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 4: especially Tyler Johnson, I don't know if you can necessarily

566
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: trust them in your starting lineup, but when it comes

567
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: to the tight end position and what a dumpster fire

568
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 4: it is right now, you know, I think Parkinson, especially

569
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: if you have David Njoku and Jake or Jake Ferguson,

570
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: he's definitely worth an ad Parkinson opens the week is

571
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: my tight end fourteen. I think he has a ton

572
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: of upside, but he's a guy that's probably more likely

573
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: to actually end up in starting lineups than even the receivers.

574
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: Is based on the opportunity and the position. So you know,

575
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: Parkinson's the guy that I think is trending up. It

576
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: might be overlooked with the Puka news, but he gets

577
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: a huge boost from this as well.

578
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually have Parkinson inside my top ten to

579
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: open a week. I mean, he's just eighty two route

580
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: rate and a bunch of guys are hurt, so.

581
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: Like him as well.

582
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: I'll talk about Isaiah likely he's still available in ninety

583
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: percent of weeks. A good call by you. I think

584
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: it was in the DFS pod. You liked him in

585
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: that Baltimore Casey opener, and you know, we both thought

586
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: that he might end up getting snaps similar to Beckham

587
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: because they didn't really replace Beckham and they did go

588
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: more to tight end and likely ended up running a

589
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: route on sixty nine percent of Lamar Jackson's dropbacks, which

590
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: was actually more than beckham average. He was in the

591
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: mid fifties, mid to high fifties last year. Twelve targets,

592
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: nine catches, one hundred and eleven yards and a touchdown

593
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: and almost a tenth catch in a second touchdown by

594
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: a toe, So you know, likely, I mean, who.

595
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: Was I don't know.

596
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: People were probably most people were probably too young to remember.

597
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: But what do they call it?

598
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: Like Wally pipped in baseball when you get like, yeah,

599
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: like Mark Andrews barely ran more routes than likely.

600
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: He was on the bench for some key spots.

601
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: And I know he had the car accident and whatnot,

602
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: but as far as I know, he wasn't injured. So

603
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: that was kind of interesting to see them so close routes.

604
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: I think Andrews was seventy five percent, like we was

605
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: sixty nine percent, and like we had the much bigger game.

606
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: So that's something to kind of watch for. But they

607
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: it possible they even draw even by the time the

608
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: season's over, because you always say it, he's the most

609
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: talented backup tight end and you know he's getting a

610
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: chance to kind of break out, and uh, you know,

611
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: it just might be he's one of the most talented

612
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: tight end period in the week. So he was targeted

613
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: on thirty four percent of his routes, which is kind

614
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: of similar to Andrews when he broke out in year two,

615
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: I believe. So, yeah, a lot of a lot of

616
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: parallels here. So this is a guy you definitely want

617
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: to add, and I think you know he's going to

618
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: be a I mean, would you say he's a tight

619
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: end one going forward just based on the week one

620
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: usage or what?

621
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's that's tough. I would say that he's

622
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: still just outside of it. Probably need another week of data.

623
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: But it did look like, you know, Spags, the Chiefs

624
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator, was you know, really trying to slow down

625
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 4: Mark Andrews, who's double team quite a bit. I wouldn't

626
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: expect that going forward, I think defenses are going to

627
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: take likely way more seriously now. But we kind of

628
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 4: talked about this that the Ravens were trying to, you know,

629
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: have more two tight end sets have likely on the

630
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: field with Andrews. So he's gonna pop because he's very talented,

631
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: but it's probably just gonna be tough for him to

632
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: maintain this based on his playing time, and to be honest,

633
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 4: the Ravens aren't going to be trailing in every game.

634
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: Probably more more likely than not, they're going to be

635
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 4: in leading game scripts going forward, So it's just a

636
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: tough call. This is obviously the kind of upside he

637
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: has and why he should probably roster because he's an

638
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 4: absolute top ten tight end, top five tight end if

639
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: Andrews missed his time, kind of a unique tight end.

640
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: But like for this week, I'm still being a bit conservative,

641
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: so I have him you know, around like tight end

642
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 4: fourteen to fifteen range, but certainly if you're going for upside,

643
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: he has that, so kind of like a Taysom Hill

644
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: type of tight end. Right Like, if you're just tight

645
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: end positions the dumpster fire, it's low scoring, why not

646
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: just play the guy with a ton of upside. So

647
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: that's that's the case I would make for Likely if

648
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 4: you want to play for week two.

649
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have him as a top ten guy in

650
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: week two. I mean, like you said, the positions of

651
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: dumpster fire, uh, and the fact that he's kind of

652
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: doing similar things to Andrews, and Andrew's getting a little older,

653
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Andrews had struggled with injuries at times.

654
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: I just I think Likely has Andrews upside.

655
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: You have Andrews' play, So with that, with that at

656
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: this position, I think you got to like running back

657
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: with Mason. It's like that's where it's like, Okay, you

658
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: might only get one week if that, but likely, I

659
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: think this guy's going to be a fringe starter at

660
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: worst at the position all year long because I think

661
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: they're really trying to get him on the field. And

662
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: after he did that in week one, now it's like

663
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: like monkey cannot It's like that, just like the front

664
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: office is like, yeah, here's Derrick Henry, now run the ball.

665
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: It's like Isaiah Likely, he's like all right here, I'm here.

666
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: Like you've got to play two tight ends sets.

667
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: Now, that's a good comp with Jordan Mason. Like we

668
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 4: know he's not getting Wallypip Christian mccraft. And by the way,

669
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: Wally Pip was first baser for the Yankees. He was

670
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: ruled out with an injury and he was replaced by

671
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: Lou Garrigg you've ever heard of again and the rest

672
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: is history. But yeah, Andrews is more likely to get

673
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: Wallypip than likely than CMC is Jordan Mason, that's for sure.

674
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeahmc's job very secure. But Andrews is like, if

675
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: both of them are on the field to run in

676
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: the same amount of rounds are close to it isn't

677
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: is a non zero chance, So like we could be

678
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: more productive.

679
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,720

Speaker 2: So sign up at Favorites dot actionnetwork dot com.

710
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: All right, defense, who do you like well?

711
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 4: Let's see who did the Patriots play? Oh, they play

712
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 4: the Seahawks. So I'm going with the Seahawks. They're available

713
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: in fifty seven percent of leagues, and like I just

714
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 4: joked about, like anybody playing the Patriots is gonna kind

715
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 4: of shoot up my ranks. But the Seattle defense looked

716
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: solid in week one. You know, I figured new head

717
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 4: coach Mike McDonald would turn things around, but it's shocking

718
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 4: how quickly he kind of did, because they rank first

719
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: and DVA and defense after Week one they look great,

720
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: albeit against you know, the Broncos and Bonex was afraid

721
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 4: to throw the ball beyond ten yards, but still they

722
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: look great. This is going to be a very tough

723
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 4: spot for the Patriots to put up points. So they

724
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 4: opened the week as my number four defense. And as always,

725
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 4: when it comes to defense, doesn't mean I think we're

726
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: gonna finish top five, but I think, uh, you know,

727
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 4: when it comes to sacks, points allowed, more predictive stats,

728
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: they're checking all those boxes this week against the Patriots.

729
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 4: So love the Seahawks and maybe they do turn into

730
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: more of a long term stash. We'll see, but I

731
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 4: was very impressed with their defense in week one at least.

732
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they do have some talented corners.

733
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: I just got to hope the Patriots actually throw the

734
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: ball enough because that was drop. The Bengals were like

735
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: thirty first in defense left because the Patriots the ball,

736
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: they just handed it off, handed it off, hand it off.

737
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: So we gotta hope the Seattle offense can put up

738
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: some points. But I did hit it on Minnesota last week.

739
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: They were a top three this week, I'm gonna target

740
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 2: the Panthers and go with the Chargers even though they're

741
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: on the road. They're available in eighty nine percent of weeks,

742
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: and Carolina allowed a top five finish to New Orleans

743
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: four sacks, two picks, fumble recodovary just ten points allowed?

744
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: Did New Orleans ten points to New Orleans allowed? Excuse

745
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: me and Bryce Young? I mean, I thought he was

746
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: going to be better. I thought Canalis was going to

747
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: be able to fix him. But it doesn't look like

748
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,479
Speaker 2: if anything, looks like a fundamentals might have gotten worse.

749
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: It's like if you just were playing Madden and you

750
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: turn the past accuracy slider all the way down, so

751
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: it's like you're just in the pocket with a clear

752
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: lane to throw and you just press the button to

753
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: throw and it just goes like five yards wide of

754
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 2: the receiver. That's Bryce Young, like almost every time. It's

755
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: it's really troubling right at this rate. I mean, JaMarcus

756
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: Russell part of the reason he was considered like the

757
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: biggest bust of all times because he just he was

758
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: He wasn't he was bad, but he also was unavailable

759
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: a lot of the time. But like Bryce Young, he

760
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: could just play and just play terribly, like he might

761
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 2: overtake a Russell at this place.

762
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: So it's looking bad now. It's you know, week one.

763
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes week one is not indicative of the rest of

764
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: the season. I remember when I think we had the

765
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: Patriots like won the Super Bowl back in two thousand,

766
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: they got shut out thirty one by the Bills in

767
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: Week one or something like that. So like, weird stuff

768
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: does happen in week one. But man, that was just

769
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: disconcerting to see, especially with Tampa Bay and Mayfield performing

770
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: so well without Canalis.

771
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: You know, it was just I mean, that was that

772
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: was bad.

773
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: So and this charge of defense held the Raiders to

774
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: ten points, and the Panthers are worse offensively, I think

775
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: than the Raiders.

776
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: Right now, So going with a C.

777
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: All right, now we can close it out. Kicker, you

778
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: hit on Chase mclafflin. He posted a top five week

779
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: last week. Who do you like this week?

780
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 4: Matt Prater available in ninety four percent of leagues. They're

781
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 4: at home against the Rams, playing at home indoors. It

782
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 4: should be a shootout, and the Cards have about the

783
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 4: sixth highest implied team total of Week two. And Trader's

784
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: just you know, a solid kicker all around, but especially

785
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 4: from deep. You know, he has five or more fifty

786
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: yarders in each of the last five seasons, seventy five

787
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 4: percent career make rate beyond fifty absolutely insane. So they

788
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 4: just trust anytime they're you know, within say sixty three

789
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 4: yards field range, they're gonna tempt it with him. So

790
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 4: he opens the week as my number five kicker, which

791
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 4: is definitely the highest among you know, kickers that are

792
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: widely available, and he is available, and like I said,

793
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 4: ninety four percent of the leagues this week.

794
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have Prator as my number seven, and then

795
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: I have the guy I'm about to talk about, Josh Cardi,

796
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 2: as number eight. And he's just the other kicker in

797
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: this game, and this game.

798
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: Is a total.

799
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 2: There's a total of about forty nine. It's close to

800
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: a pick him. I think it started with the Rams

801
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 2: favorite and then with the Nikoa news. Now the cards

802
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: are favored, but I think a point or so. But

803
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 2: Cardi did go two of two in his debut. Mcveigh's

804
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: notoriously conservative, so I think he will get some attempts,

805
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 2: and he did nail forty one to forty five the

806
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: last two years at Stanford. This game, one of the

807
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: reasons it has a higher total is because no weather

808
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: in the Arizona retractable roof stadium. So uh yeah, like

809
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: both kickers in this game.

810
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it.
