00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I took the boy out last night. We were in

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: Westchester about two hours. I mean this kid got a

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: bag of candy. I mean, like you know those plastic

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: bags you get from the phil just filled it out.

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: It was tremendous. So then we get home, we put

00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: him to bed and my girlfriend and I go through.

00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: inside of the glass is always Sir Edward L. Murphy

20

Speaker 1: costume last night. By the way, Yeah, okay, I didn't

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: see it in personally Mother of Dragons that I didn't

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: realize the Collisi was our guy here, yea, the Colisie

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: was our guy. Oh my goodness, gracious, let me tell you,

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: you're more a man than I am. I would never

00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: do that. I would never you are more of a

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: man than I. And it's not the first time i've

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: I've I guess cross dress for Halloween costume. Two years

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: ago I did eleven from Stranger Things. Okay, okay, when

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: those costumes are very very popular, but Levin and any

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones characters, So if you put a little

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: spin on it, make it fun, then you kind of

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: get away with doing a costume that like everyone else's workings. Yeah, yeah, no.

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I I was asked to judge a costume contest here

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: at the network yesterday, and um, there was a a

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: man just the Sailor Moon, which I was a fan

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of the show. Uh, and he was. He did not win,

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: but he was very much in consideration because you know what,

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of guts to come out

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know who that is. Uh, if

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: it's an anime character popular in the nineties early two thousand.

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I have to look it up. Yeah, the same Oar Moon.

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, props to him because it takes

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: guts to and prohaps to Eddie. I love. It was great,

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: very comfortable. I'm sure. I'm sure it breathes started seeing

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: you around the office here now some of that stuff.

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Want that maybe it kilt or something? I could you

00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: con do Roddy Roddy Piper bro killed. Yeah, dude, w

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: So plenty plenty, plenty to talk about on this show.

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, we'll talk a little bit about the trade

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: deadline which happened earlier in the week, and kind of

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: touch on some of the key names that moved and

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: what that means for them in their new spots as

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: well for some of the guys in their old spots.

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: I would do a week nine preview will have Eddie

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: delirious picks. We'll also talk to a d d Kick Kabala,

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: who has a lot of really interesting news about Levian Bell.

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: So if you've got Levian Bell on a team, if

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking about making a move for Levian Bell, you

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: will want to listen to what add has to say

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: before you make any sort of decisions of regarding Levian

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: Bell and your fantasy roster. Plenty plenty to talk about there,

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: but first let's do some news, all right. Ryan Tannehill

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: has already been ruled out for the Miami Dolphins this week.

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: So what means another week of Brock Osweiler as the

67
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: starting quarterback as they take on the New York and Jetropolitans. Um.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't know when Tannehill is gonna come back at

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: this point. It still maybe another week or two. I'm

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: going to ask this question, and and maybe you will

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: hate myself for doing it. Um. The Jets have not

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: been too great. Their secondaries had some injuries. If you're

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: hurting on in a week with six quarterback, I like

74
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the tone of your brocks one probably I would think,

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're in a in a really deep league,

76
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: that there's got to be better options on the waiver wire. Uh,

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: but maybe not. I mean, like Alex Smith comes to mind,

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know, Derek Carr comes to mind.

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm playing tonight. Um. Nick mullins, Oh my goodness, By

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the way, So so I picked up the Raiders defense

81
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: in like two leagues, I'm starting in one of the leagues.

82
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm playing in the A I C League. I'm playing

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: against Mikenaz the basis from Alison Chains, who was a

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: huge Raiders fan, And the only reason I picked up

85
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: the defense was hoping that they would put up a

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: big number against him because he's such a huge Raiders fan.

87
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Um back to the brock Oswiler topic that's broadcast. I means,

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: so I think there's better options out there. I mean,

89
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean not Nick Mullins, but I mean there's there's

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: better options. I would agree, but who knows anything. Bill

91
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: bella Check says the running back position is a concern

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: there for New England now. Sony Michelle has been dealing

93
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: with some injuries. They think he could be back as

94
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: soon as this week. But we saw last week when

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: we all thought, hey, maybe we're gonna see some ken

96
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Yon Barner there with James White, it's turned out to

97
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of Corderyl Patterson, which caught a

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: lot of us by surprise. I think, obviously, as long

99
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: as Michelle is there, he's starting for you. As long

100
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: as James White is there, he's starting for you. But

101
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I guess this means that any thought of ken Jon

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Barner being a thing in that backfield is kind of over.

103
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's like Corddaryl Patterson, Like Kenyan Barner was

104
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: so unattractive to the Belichick as a running back that

105
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: he played a wide receiver ahead of him, which is wild.

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's wild. That game was odd. It started

107
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: off odd, like the Bills were trying these trick plays,

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: trying to catch the Patriots defense off guard, and Carderyl

109
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Patterson's playing running back. It was very odd. Now Kenyan

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Barner is an absolute blob. I'm done, No, thank you.

111
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: If you're not good enough to play your position, oh

112
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: ahead of a dude who's a wide risk fever. No,

113
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm good, I'm out, all right. Um. So I

114
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: mentioned the trade deadline which hit on Tuesday, which obviously

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: we record our other podcast on Monday, so it hadn't

116
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: happened yet. Three big size, reason reasonably big size, fantasy

117
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: relevant names got moved, and just like a quick you know,

118
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I think at this point you've probably seen, read, or

119
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: heard plenty about it. But just a quick little spin

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: about some of these things, real quick. The Marris Thomas

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: going from the Broncos to the Texans. Um, I think

122
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: for for both of us, Thomas gets maybe a slight upgrade.

123
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: Who who is the big name, big big winner and

124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: or loser in this for you though? At Cortland, Sutton

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean no brainer, dude, Like he has shown some flashes.

126
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean he led the Broncos in terms of avery

127
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: yards at the wide receiver position up to this point,

128
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: and it was only a matter of time before he

129
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: replaced Marius Dominson. I didn't know if it was going

130
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: to be until next season, but now we know it's

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: right now. I think that's part of the reason why

132
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos made the move is because they think Sutton

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: could come in and replace DT and be even better

134
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: than him, and he could end up being a league winner.

135
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: We'll see the Broncos, I mean their offense, Philip Lindsay

136
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: has been tremendous, but they could be playing some games

137
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: from behind. And I do think that Sutton is going

138
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: to be a pretty valuable asset to your fantasy team.

139
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a wide receiver one, but he

140
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: could end up being a decent wide receiver two in

141
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: that offense. I'm very curious to see what this means

142
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: for Kiki QT, who really had slid in and found

143
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a nice role in the slot and was kind of

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: a nice all outlet an alternative for Deshaun Watson. Does

145
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: he move to the outside now that Will Fuller has

146
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: done for the season. How does the Marrius Thomas fit in? That?

147
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: To me is going to be very interesting to watch,

148
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: especially with QT expected to come back this week from

149
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: an injury. Golden Tate goes from the Detroit Lions to

150
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Now take a talented guy who think

151
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: can fit well in this in this Eagle's offense. My

152
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: fear is that he and zach Ertz sort of cannibalize

153
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: one another because they sort of work in the same

154
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: areas of the field all the time. Yeah, it's a downgrade.

155
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that he drops to like wide receiver

156
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: three value. But when you talk about Golden Tate, I

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: mean his value is as a pass Catcherman's a guy

158
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: who's caught ninety plus balls and what two three straight seasons?

159
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: And um I I do like the the upgrade for

160
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Detroit in terms of Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones their value.

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: I think at this point Nelson Aguilar is probably drop

162
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: herble in most leagues, especially with six teams on a

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: buy including Philadelphia, so he's gone off of most rosters.

164
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: But the second that I saw that the deal had

165
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: been made any league, and I had one situation where

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: I had both alic Sean and Golden Tate do not

167
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: want I don't want both guys now on the same team,

168
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: So I ended up trading Golden Tate for Chris Carson.

169
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: Uh with it with money this week. But he's a

170
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: startable guy. I mean, take's still a startable guy. He

171
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: guess are gonna throw the ball. They have no running

172
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: game whatsoever. They're gonna throw the ball. But but I

173
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: do think that it's a bit of a downgrade for

174
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Golden Tate overall. Uh yeah, I'm just I'm I'm curious

175
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: what happens there. He's his talent speaks for itself. It's

176
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: just whether his fit in the offense is gonna be

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: good for fantasy. Last one time Montgomery goes from the

178
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers to the Baltimore Ravens. This I think

179
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: for the Packers was less about you know, trying to

180
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: make a fit somewhere or upgrade there. They just wanted

181
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: to get rid of Time Montgomery. After his gaff last

182
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: week trying to run the ball out of the end

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: zone and then fumbling against the Rams. I think that

184
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the Packers were just done with him and we're ready

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: to just move him out to anywhere because I think

186
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: they got a conditional seventh round pick. I mean that's

187
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: like basically getting a case of diet coke. Yeah, you know, um,

188
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: but you weren't starting Time Montgomery in Green Bay. I

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: don't imagine you're starting Time Montgomery. No. I mean, like

190
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: the impact it could have is, you know, Buck Allen

191
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,119
Speaker 1: and Alex Collins basically been splitting the opportunities there in Baltimore.

192
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: And maybe that's just another sort of it's it's more

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: of an issue there where one of these two guys

194
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: will end up losing some touches per game. We'll see.

195
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Alex Collins has been a little bit banged up this week,

196
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: so you have to keep tabs on his status. Maybe

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: Montgomery plays a bigger role if Collins is unable to

198
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: go this week against the Steelers. But to me, this

199
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: trade was bigger, much bigger. From my guy Aaron Jones,

200
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: So I've been talking about for weeks and weeks and weeks, right,

201
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean the whole free Aaron Jones is now out there,

202
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: and wait a minute, can I say free Aaron Jones.

203
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I may have copied someone who claims to have said

204
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: it first that that to me was the best part

205
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: of Tuesday was what the Twitter issue I had with

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: uh what's his name? No, okay, I don't care about that.

207
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: You know what, What I thought was the moment the

208
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: time Montgomery trade was announced was seeing my timeline just

209
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: filled with just free Aaron Jones, because I I've said

210
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: all year long, I have no I have no problem

211
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: with Aaron Jones. I do think he's the most talented

212
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: guy running back on that roster and it would be

213
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: great to hear get more Texas. But I've also been

214
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: amused and watching Fantasy Twitter try to will it into existence,

215
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: basically trying to like focus all of their mental energy

216
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy into making it happen. And I've been

217
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: trying so to watch fantasy Twitter like as a whole

218
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: basically tweet free Aaron Jones at the same time. Uh,

219
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: that tickled me to know that was a whole lot

220
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: of fun for me. So anyway, that's pretty much everything

221

Speaker 1: NFL network always doing great work reporting on the Pittsburgh

243
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: Steelers among other teams. It is a D D kin

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: kabala a DD. We appreciate you giving us a few

245
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: minutes today, and it's it's it's a simple question, um,

246
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: what is the latest with Levian bell? I mean, are

247
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: we going to see him anytime soon? Is there any

248
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: new updates about him? You know, it's so interesting about

249
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: this is that there has been such an arc. For

250
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the minute that he was tagged, there was a feeling

251
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: that okay, no, let me let me go back. From

252
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: the minute that they couldn't come to a deal, it

253
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: was pretty much felt that he would show up the

254
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: first week of the season exactly as he had in

255
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: the past. Then he didn't. Then it was maybe he's

256
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: waiting for the bye week. Then it wasn't the bye week.

257
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: Now it's maybe it's waiting for the very last day

258
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: that he can possibly show up, which is November. So

259
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: the c b A says that if you want to

260
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: be eligible to play in any one season, you need

261
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: to arrive by the Tuesday after the tenth week, so

262
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: that would be Tuesday, November and now literally today I've

263
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: decided that he really may not ever show up. So

264
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: so that's the question, that's the whole entire year. So

265
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: that's the questioning. I was discussing this today with another

266
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: writer with A Bouchett, who has covered the Steelers for

267
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty something years, who's in the Hall of Fame, and

268
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: he said he wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show either.

269
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: So the narrative out there, and and correct me, because

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: I think you have the correct information here is that

271
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Levan Bell has to come back because if he doesn't,

272
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: this is a wasted a wasted hold out because he

273
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: needs to crew enough games where he's on the roster

274
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: to become a free agent next season, which is ultimately

275
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: what this whole thing is about. But that's not correct.

276
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: That that's you're correct, that it's not correct. So that

277
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: is something that and this is what's so crazy about

278
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: this because so many things have been reported that actually

279
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: aren't really correct, and that's just because the c b

280
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: A is that complicated. But that was a narrative, that

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: was the storyline earlier in the year that he needed

282
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: to be on the active roster for six games to

283
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: a crew a season. He's already accrued enough season. He's

284
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: already got the five years, so that's not the issue.

285
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: He cannot be tagged with the same tag more than

286
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: one or he meaning the second tag. So he was

287
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: already tagged one time last year, then this year he

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: was tagged second time. If he doesn't show up, that

289
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he gets the second tag. It means

290
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: that now he has the third year of the tag.

291
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: And so there's really the only reason for him to

292
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: show up this year is to a make some money

293
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: and be show that remind everyone that he really is

294
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: this truly utterly dynamic or as his agent said, once

295
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: in a generation player, because the numbers that James Conner

296
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: is putting up are certainly laying live to that a

297
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: little bit. So I mean, let's let's just play this out.

298
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: If he doesn't show up this year, then what so

299
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: if he doesn't show up, he is a free agent

300
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: sort of sort of, you still have a few options.

301
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: The Steelers can transition tag him, which of course you know,

302
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: they put a number on him, and if anybody is

303
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: to offer him another long term deal that the Stealers

304
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: have to match it. They can do another type of

305
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: franchise tag, a non exclusive franchise tag. Now that number

306
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: will be extremely high, and then he can still shop

307
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: himself look for another deal. But if he gets another

308
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: deal and the Steelers can still match this, or if

309
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: they don't match it, they'll get the team that he

310
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: signs with first and third round picks. I believe me.

311
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what this and this totally yesterday

312
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: was so complicated. We went back and forth with this

313
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: the desk, and I went back with this so many times. Yesterday.

314
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: I spoke to the best possible resources that I could.

315
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. The union and Bell's agent can

316
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: always argue. So let's just even take the transition tag.

317
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: If the Steelers are the transition tag him, that number

318
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: is one of two things. It's either a percentage of

319
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: what he actually earned this year, so that's not the

320
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half million dollars and he was tagged on.

321
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: It's whatever he earns when he shows up, or it's

322
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: whatever the transition tag number is for running backs, which

323
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: this year was nine point six million dollars. But that's

324
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: not really fair because I was told that if the

325
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: Steelers try to attack him his side, his camp will

326
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: argue that the tag should be based on what he

327
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: should have earned this year, not what he actually earned. Okay,

328
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: so I'm totally lost, you guys. No, we're just listening

329
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: because this whole thing makes my brain it. Okay, it's like,

330
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie to you about that.

331
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: I think my head heard. I mean, for sometimes, as

332
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I've read the c B A and it's funny because

333
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to law school, and after

334
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: reading the CB a thousand times over the last few weeks,

335
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm just sort of relieved that I never did. So Okay,

336
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: so now the fantasy owners know that, yeah, there's a

337
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: chance Bell might not come back at all this season,

338
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: and it doesn't necessarily hurt his status for next year.

339
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Let's go down the avenue of Levian Bell does come back.

340
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: He comes back whenever it is next week, the week

341
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: after that. Okay, James Conner, and you've turnted out some

342
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: great stats about James Conner about how this guy has

343
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: been just as good, if not better, in a lot

344
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: of aspects, and Levan Bell was last season. So if

345
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Bell comes back, do you think he is the same

346
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: running back that we saw for most of last season,

347
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: which is elite, which is a guy who can catch

348
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: the ball in the backfield and is dynamic. Or do

349
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: we see a guy who hadn't played football for eleven

350
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: months and is going to end up in a committee

351
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: situation where he may even lose his starting job to

352
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: James Conner. Well, we definitely lose. We definitely see a

353
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: guy who's not in football shape. Remember last year, and

354
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: Fatty and I have talked about this a lot. Last year,

355
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: he missed eight months and it still took him a

356
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: month to get going. Now at this point, we're already

357
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: at eleven months that he's missed. It's just going that

358
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: you cannot expect it to take any less time for

359
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: him to be in full on football shape. And the

360
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Steelers aren't obligated to play him. Why look at what

361
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: James Conner is giving them. James Ponnder has broken more tackles,

362
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: He's forced more miss tackles than anybody else in the NFL.

363
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: With fifty plus carries, James tackles. James Connor has seven

364
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: runs of at least twenty yards. He's been he's been phenomenal.

365
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Bell last year, Lebian Bell had only three. James Conner

366
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: has six touchdowns against an eight plus man box, a staff,

367
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: a stacked box. He has six touchdowns, so he's clearly

368
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: he's running really strong, he's in great shape. He's younger

369
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: than Bell. Ben Roethlistier has been on the record repeatedly

370
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: saying that he doesn't feel James Conner should be put

371
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: on the shelf. Then he actually prefers playing with James

372
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Connor in the no huddle, which he, of course, you

373
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: know Ben Roethlisberger loves doing. So you sort of feel like,

374
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: what right now is Lebian Bell giving you in terms

375
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: of production that Jim Kunner isn't giving you, which I

376
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: guess sort of begs my question. I mean, what is

377
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: the motivation for the Steelers to to rush him back

378
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: or welcome him back at all? Are the Steelers even

379
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: really that okay? Insurance if James Connor does get hurt,

380
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: if James Conner does get warmed out, if whatever his

381
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: backup is Stephen Ridley, would you rather have Levy on

382
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Bell is the guy to take get twenty five curios

383
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: the game? Wow? But I mean it's amazing that that's

384
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: where are you get to January? It's fresh legs. Yeah,

385
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: it's amazing. That's where we are. That like the Steelers

386
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: considered Levyan Bell in Church for James Conner. It's unreal.

387
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: I mean, what again, what is he giving you? You know,

388
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: in fact, we talked at the start of the season

389
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: when I told you, yes, yes, take James Conner and

390
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure, but I listened.

391
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: I listened though, and who got rid of him to

392
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: that bar Chrader? No, yeah, I got him from Okar

393
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: for like a handful of magic beans or something. Right, Seriously, no,

394
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: But I mean again, what I'm what I'm saying here

395
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: is what what is levy On giving you? If James

396
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: Conner has more breakaway speed, if James Conner breaks more tackles,

397
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: if James Conner is better in short yarded situations and

398
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: around the goal line. If Ben Roethlisberger is actually saying

399
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: that he prefers throwing to James Conner in a no

400
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: huddle situation, then I mean I would positive you should

401
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: get both of them on the field and spread Leby

402
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: on out, make Leby on a running back, put him

403
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: in the slot. Wow. Uh, this is a whole lot

404
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: and he's a great talent. You're not going to keep

405
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Levian Bell is a great talent.

406
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: It's it's Randy Peakner's shop to figure out how to

407
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: use him too. But I don't know that suddenly James

408
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Conner goes on the shelf and maybe on Bell becomes

409
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: the guy that gets carries the game. Man. This is

410
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot to process, I know, and I don't

411
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: know that this is a guy that you need to

412
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: be picking up right now. Remember we no is when

413
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: he has to show up by there's no guarantees that

414
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: he's showing up. There's not anybody on his team that

415
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: has heard from him. Literally, there's not a player or

416
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: coach who has any idea what his plans are, and

417
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: he has given no indication of his plans. This whole

418
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: thing is it's I mean, obviously it's unprecedented. I mean,

419
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: we've never seen anything like this. It is Well, no,

420
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: there was Sean Gilbert. Remember Sean Gilbert did sit out

421
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: a year. I mean that's a defensive tackle, so it's different.

422
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: But I mean for a guy to miss a whole

423
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: entire year, to turn his back on fourteen and a

424
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: half million dollars while in the prime of his career. Yeah,

425
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: I means now changing the system. Now, if I reported

426
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers camp, what do you think they'd pay me

427
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: that much money for the rest of the season or no?

428
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Probably not right? You might have exactly he didn't show

429
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: up and he said I don't want the eight hundred

430
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I just say, is that Yeah, Uh, he

431
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: didn't apreciate the time. But we'll catch up with you

432
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: at some point in your future. Great stuff, my pleasure,

433
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, But I tell you so, like after

434
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: that conversation, Marcus, you know, I have I have Bell

435
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: in our Dynasty league, and I'm not trading Bell obviously there.

436
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: But I've got Bell. I already traded him in our league.

437
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: That was weeks ago, to Damask, And I have Bell

438
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: and Connor in another league. Dude, I mean, I don't

439
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: know what I'd get for him, but I may end

440
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: up just throwing Levan Bell on the trade block and

441
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: see what happens. Because I mean, that's eye opening to

442
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: me because I didn't realize that if Bell doesn't play,

443
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily it in for next season. And I

444
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: think that's the assumption that a lot of us have

445
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: worked on because that's what we had been hearing this

446
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: whole time, was that he had to be there by

447
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: week ten in order to accrue the year of service

448
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: to be a free agent. But with a d D

449
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: saying that that's not true, that changes this thing completely.

450
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: So Man, as somebody who doesn't have Levian Bell on

451
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: any teams, I'm sort of amused. I'm sort of sitting

452
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: back and just kind of watching this as an uninterested spectator,

453
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: um Man, from a fantasy perspective, This this I mean

454
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: to go down as dude. I mean, this is worse

455
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: than the ze thing last season because you know, we

456
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: all knew, we haven't known, We don't know what's going on.

457
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the team doesn't even know, the organization doesn't know,

458
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: nobody knows. His teammates don't know. And that's the difference

459
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: between this and Zeke last year. It's worth at least

460
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: with Zeke, you know, we could all kind of check

461
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: in with whatever legal expert that can kind of tell

462
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: you how the process works and what the odds were

463
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: that Zeke could be suspended, and like you, you could

464
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: get the thought processes of the people involved in the

465
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: situation with Levion Bell not saying anything. I mean there

466
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: there's no there's no insight into the thought process of

467
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: what he's doing when he might return any of that

468
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So that is what makes this way

469
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: more interesting. So d D kick ball with a whole

Speaker 1: with some really interesting, awesome thing information. Yeah. Man, I'm

491
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: putting Levian Bell on the trade block in the league

492
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: that I have him in, and I guarantee I will

493
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: get no offers, especially not if they listen to this podcast.

494
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: Is that insane or what I mean? Sane? Dude, and

495
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: they listen to this podcast, you have good luck with

496
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: any of that. Um. Alright, So it's week nine. It

497
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: is bipocalypse one. Six teams on a bye this week,

498
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: so it means a lot of key players are not

499
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: playing for your fantasy football team because they're not playing

500
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: in the National Football League this week. So we'll go

501
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: to the rest of them that are playing. We'll start

502
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo Chicago Bearts taking on the Buffalo Bills. Mitch

503
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Rubinsky has been playing really well recently. I mean he's

504
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: been one of the top quarterbacks I think right now

505
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: coming into this week. He's the QB six, which tells

506
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: you a lot about how he's played Reese at Lee.

507
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: This I've been calling this week kind of a heat

508
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: check against the Bills because the Bills defense has not

509
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: been bad. This is sort of like when any non

510
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: Steph Curry NBA player is starting to feel it and

511
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: it pulls up just past half court and like launches

512
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: the three just to see how hot they really are.

513
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: This feels like a Mitch Rubisky heat checked, Like can

514
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: he keep it going against the defense that very quietly

515
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: has had a very good season this year. Here's where

516
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: true Bisky I still believe is a stardom. I mean, obviously,

517
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: six teams off and the guy is the hottest quarterback

518
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: in the league. But he's giving you points as a runner. Uh,

519
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: He's rushed for forty seven or more yards in each

520
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: of his last four games. And if he's going to

521
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: give you that, if he's given you a forty or

522
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards, I mean that's four or five points

523
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: right off the bat. So you're telling me I can't

524
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: get another fourteen points as a passer from Mitch Trubisy

525
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: even against the Bills. Of course I can, of course.

526
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean that that's not asking much. So that's where

527
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: I like him. Do I like the matchup in terms

528
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: of a passer? I mean, yeah, you're right. I mean

529
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have been tough. I mean, Tom Brady didn't

530
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: have a touchdown pass against him last week. But I

531
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: mean you also got to consider Joe Flacco had a

532
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: good game against the philip Rivers, had a good game

533
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: against and Andrew Look had a good game against him.

534
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: So um, While I wasn't sold after traubisky six touchdown

535
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: game against Tampa Bay, I started to warm up after

536
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: that one, and now I say, this dude is a

537
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback this week. Wow alright, um cool. I

538
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: really don't have anything to say about that. I just

539
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm just very curious to watch because I don't have

540
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: troubisky anywhere, so I just want to sit back and

541
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: kind of watch this. The thing about him is that

542
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to actually watch him play. Like the

543
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: numbers are fine, uhday, the way he gets there. Listen, buddy,

544
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: I I want a championship with Tim Tebow. And it

545
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: was not not pretty you want to talk about not

546
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty to watch? I mean, but he got the job is.

547
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: It's It's the thing I've been telling people, if you

548
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: start Trubisky, don't watch true Whisky because it's just it's

549
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: just gonna make your head watch the stats just compile

550
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: on your app um, it's on the flip side. Are

551
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: there any any Bills your star? I mean, Lashwan McCoy

552
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: is played better, but against that Bears defense, I mean,

553
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: there's so any Bills you started. It's this is one

554
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: of those weeks where it's really hard to to penn

555
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: start him and sit him because you don't want to

556
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: give out players who are obviously starts, are obviously sits,

557
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: but you also have to help people. And I've got

558
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: McCoy is my sit of the week. Nothing is in

559
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: his favor this week. Nothing His quarterback is Nathan Peterman. Okay,

560
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: start the Peterman jokes. Go ahead. The Bears are giving

561
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: up three and a half yards of rush. They haven't

562
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdown on the ground to a running

563
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: back all season. Long game script seems to be heavily

564
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: in favor of the Bills having to throw the ball

565
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: in the second half, and I get it, McCoy can

566
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: catch the ball, but he's catching the past from Nathan Pitaman.

567
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: They're also not really using him like that, So I mean, like,

568
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably have to play him. You don't

569
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: have to like it. Let's just put it that way.

570
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean you're not playing Charlesco. You're not

571
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: playing Kellen Benjamin, not playing a Jones, not playing the

572
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: Bills defense, not playing Stephen Housch can not play in

573
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yep. That's that's pretty much only about the

574
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: busiest analysis will ever do it it. Tampa Bay Bucks

575
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: at the Carolina Panthers. Ryan Fitzpatrick is bad. He is

576
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback once again for the Buccaneers. Is this

577
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: good news for a lot of their pass catchers? I mean,

578
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: especially Deshan Jackson, but even you know, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin.

579
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Is a good news to have Ryan Fitzpatrick back. Yeah,

580
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm so. I'm so like in between on this one

581
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: because like at some point, like I guarantee you, Fitzpatrick's

582
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a terrible game, He's gonna throw three picks.

583
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Jamis is gonna come in do well, and he's gonna

584
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: get the starting job back. It's just gonna happen. It's

585
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna happen, There's no doubt. And the matchup this week

586
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: is not good. That the Panthers have allowed one quarterback

587
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: to finish better than points against in this season. They're

588
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: averaging fifteen fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks on their home field.

589
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks when playing in Carolina have a passer rating of

590
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: seventy four point three. The matchup is terrible. The only

591
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: way if Fitzpatrick is gonna give you a nice stat

592
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: line this week is if games script basically calls him

593
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: to throw the football a lot in the second half,

594
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: and that is very well in the realm of possibility.

595
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: But the matchup is not good this week, and you're

596
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: starting Evans, you're starting de Sean Jackson. I think Jackson

597
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: probably benefits the most because Fitzpatrick likes to go to him.

598
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston not so much. It's just him and James

599
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: just can't connect. Jay Howard too. I mean, like Howards

600
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: has really been tremendous, very underrated. The emergence of Howard

601
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: uh and in Joeku, I mean, guys like that have

602
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: sort of helped to lift up the tight end position

603
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: a little bit because it's been so thin. But it

604
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: is what I mean. Peyton Barber, I mean, I don't

605
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: know if you're playing him, that's a bad matchup too.

606
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: But I know everyone's on board with Fitzpatrick. But guys,

607
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: let's remember this is a journeyman quarterback who's played for

608
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: half the teams in the league, and he is prone

609
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: to turnovers just like Jamis Winston is. Why do you

610
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: think everyone's starting the Panthers defense? This the thing that

611
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that I necessarily like Ryan Fitzpatrick, but

612
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like he can at least make everybody

613
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: else around him, even if you're not starting him, that

614
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: maybe you can start d Jacks and christ certainly and

615
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Howard certainly. Um. Okay. So then on the flip side,

616
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is back. He's the starting quarterback again for

617
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after having been benched and coming back. Now,

618
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Uh is that good news for the Carolina Panthers defense. Yeah?

619
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, see, Marcus, I'm reading your mind. I'm answering

620
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: the question before it's asked. Yeah, I mean the Panthers.

621
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: I have them in the top five this week. Um,

622
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: any anything else there? I mean, I feel like for

623
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: the Panthers, you're you're kind of starting What about Payton

624
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: Barbera though, Like, honestly, like would you start him six

625
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: teams on a bike coming up a big games? Last

626
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: three games he's been good? No, no, And I get it,

627
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: like he's put up some good numbers the last couple

628
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: of weeks. I just I can't trust him. I don't

629
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't trust him. I don't believe. And you know,

630
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: maybe it's my detriment. And like, look if if he

631
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: goes off, um, then so be it. I'll live with that.

632
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: I would rather I would feel better with him going

633
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: off on my bench than putting him in my lineup

634
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: and watching him give me like three points. So and

635
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: for Carolina, you know, I mean, dude, I mean, you're

636
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: starting CMC, you're starting function, You're starting Olsen, who had

637
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: a good game last weekend, great matchup. And then I mean,

638
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: d J. Moore is on the he's on the radar.

639
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like he doesn't lead the Panthers in terms

640
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: of routes run out of the slot, but he's got

641
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: right around those. So and we talked about it every

642
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: single week, and everyone who's listening knows the Panthers stink

643
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: against slot receivers. So I think Moore is certainly worth

644
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: a roll of the dice this week. All right, Kansas

645
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: City Chiefs at the Cleveland Browns. Obviously, you know, we

646
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: we know what's up with the Chiefs offense. Not to

647
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: worry about them, but is the Chiefs defense like actually

648
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: officially a thing now with the way they played the

649
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: last which is crazy because bad they were in the

650
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: beginning of picking on them so badly. Yeah, I am

651
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: actually streaming them, uh in at least one league this week.

652
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: And if you look at the numbers that this defense

653
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: has been putting up from a fantasy standpoint, you know

654
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: you're looking at nine last week fourteen. The week before,

655
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: you know they had nothing in New England because New England,

656
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: and the week before they had twenty two against the

657
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: jag So this is one of the more productive defenses

658
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: in fantasy football since Week five. And I think this

659
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: could be a high scoring game against the Browns. I mean,

660
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe neither one of these defenses shows up in terms

661
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: of stopping the opponent, But that doesn't mean that the

662
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a bad starting fantasy because what are you

663
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: looking for. You're looking for turnovers, You're looking for sacks,

664
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: You're looking for turnovers that become touchdowns. And I think

665
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: that could happen in this game for Kansas City. Um,

666
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: how many Browns do you trust this week? I mean it,

667
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: but but he might get games scripted out as my right,

668
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: No I play him I have him as an RB two.

669
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: Jarvis boy, I mean, you know, he was one of

670
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: my bus candidates coming into the season and he started

671
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: off on fire. I'm like, boy, was I wrong about that?

672
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: But no, no, I mean and PPR. You's still been good,

673
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, with his eight catches for thirty three yards

674
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: or whatever the stat line was. But I mean you

675
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: have to be concerned about him because you knew he

676
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: wasn't scoring nine touchdowns like he did last season, and

677
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: now you're in a spot where he's been very unreliable.

678
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna play him. I mean, there's no

679
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: doubt about that, and it could be a high scoring game.

680
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: So I still have my top twenty wide receivers for

681
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: the week. But in terms of confidence, I mean, I

682
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: don't have as much confidence in Jarvis as I did

683
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: last season at this time. Let's put it that way.

684
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: The other part of it that we really don't have

685
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: any idea of what the offense is going to look

686
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: like now right. Freddie Kitchens, the former running backs coach,

687
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: has been promoted to offensive coordinator. Ryan Lindley, the former

688
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals quarterback, is now the running backs coach. Greg Williams,

689
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: who was the defensive coordinator this time last week is

690
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: now the interim head coach. There's just no clarity as

691
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: to what this team is gonna look like. So this

692
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: is a week I just would step back and just

693
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: take a look, unless you know, you have I get it.

694
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: If you gotta start Nick Chubb or or David and

695
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: Joku or whatever, Jarvis Landry, I get it. You know,

696
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: go for it and do it and hope for the

697
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: best if you can afford to take a step back

698
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: and look. Um, that's that's kind of what I see.

699
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: For me. I don't think the offense is gonna change

700
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: that much because he was kind of a Hailey disciple,

701
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: so things aren't you know, maybe that maybe he you know,

702
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: he puts in a few different looks here and there.

703
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's gonna want to sort of, you know,

704
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: put his stamp on the offense. But I know, overall,

705
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's gonna change a ton, especially

706
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: in the first game. Right Um, Jets at Dolphins. Do

707
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: we believe in Chris Herndon? Yet? Three touchdowns in a row,

708
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: three games, three and I mean like he didn't do

709
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: anything but score. But see, this is why the fantasy

710
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: guys are cruel Marcus, because once we jump on a

711
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: band wagon, then it goes away. Wheels come off. I

712
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: actually have to play him this week because I have,

713
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, tight ends on a buy. So um, I'm

714
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: hoping for that end zone visit again. So I do

715
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: think he's a streamable option. Uh And the Jets do

716
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: they have any wide receivers left? I mean likely still

717
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: there I know about I mean like, I mean they

718
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: have they have nothing? I mean so so that that's

719
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: another reason why you know he's not getting a ton

720
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: of targets, but when he's getting the targets, you know

721
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: they're in they're in the red zone. So that's that's advantageous.

722
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like looking at Robbie Anderson still missing practice.

723
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: Quincy and Noon was banged up prior is not on

724
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: the roster anymore. He's in the Bills now. Yeah, it's

725
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: not only is the only build wet even talk about this,

726
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: like there was talk that he might could start at

727
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: quarterback this week. It was not out of the ro

728
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott didn't say yes, but he also didn't say no.

729
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this right now, Eddie, I would if

730
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: I had to choose between Tarrell Prior and Nathan Peterman

731
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: as my starting quarterback and Fanny this week, I would

732
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: obviously go I would absolutely positively go with TP. And

733
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: he's not a quarterback, Absolutely go with him, not even

734
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: a question. I mean, you know, he was once upon

735
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: a time at quarterback. I do. There was a at

736
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: the Ohio State University and with the Raiders he was.

737
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: By the way, he was the last full time starting

738
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: quarterback before Derek Carr. Oh how about that? Interesting see?

739
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: And I remember there was a couple of games. In

740
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: one game, Everer Chickla I believe probably rushed for a

741
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: hundred yards in the game, and he had a huge

742
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: fantasy stat line and I was like, wow, yeah, not

743
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: a good quarterback in reality, but in fantasy, he's gonna

744
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: give me eight yards rushing every game. I'll start him. Um,

745
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: do we believe in DeVante Parker yet? I mean I do.

746
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: I I always liked him. I always like the talent

747
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: coming out of them. And we all did we know,

748
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: we been hyping the breakout for you. So I don't

749
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: know what happened, you know, because like there was like

750
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: this whole rumor that Adam Gays and him were kind

751
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: of like, you know, they're having slap flights, don't you

752
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: know there's problems. Maybe they kissed and made up. I

753
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe after this game, Gas is like, I

754
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: mean pretty good. Maybe I gotta play him all My

755
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers are hurt, so Jets defense good against wide receivers.

756
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, I don't know what the status

757
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: of Tremaine Johnson is. We'll see if he's back. He's

758
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: been he's been out a while. So but as a

759
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: flex starter, I mean, broadcast Wallery seemed to have a

760
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: little bit of an eye for him. Uh. Daniel macdolis

761
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: another guy too that you can play in PPR this week. Yeah,

762
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean I do like Parker this week as like

763
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a flex option, kind of a sleeper play. Um. Again,

764
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: we talked about the Jets in their secondary has been

765
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: beat up a little bit. They've been missing some key pieces.

766
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: On Thursday, Tremaine Johnson was a limited participant in practice,

767
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: didn't practice on Wednesday. Uh, you know, Morris Claiborne is

768
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: actually back. He had missed us some time, but he

769
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be back. So that helps

770
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: that secondary a little bit, but it's still not in

771
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: a hundred percent, so that's something to keep an eye on.

772
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: We can talk about your Jets and or your Dolphins,

773
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Steelers at Ravens. You know, we just talked to Addie

774
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: ken Kabala about the Steelers and she talked about how

775
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: good James Conner has been, as though we didn't know

776
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: that already. I mean, we can just watch and see that,

777
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: but um, she gotta put some context into how good

778
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: he has been. But the Ravens have been very good defensively,

779
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: So are this season you are starting James Conner I

780
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: think without a doubt. But are you excited about starting

781
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: James Conner? I mean it's it's the worst matchup possible

782
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: and the last time you played, the Ravens had nineteen

783
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: yards rushing. So listen, man, if you're in a mus situation,

784
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: must win situation, and James Conner's you're back this week,

785
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: you're a little nervous. You're a little nervous because you're

786
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: expecting and hoping to get you know, twenty points, twenty

787
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: five points maybe more in PPR, But this week, I

788
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: mean you could be looking at a ceiling of eighteen.

789
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a tough matchup. The Ravens defense is no joke,

790
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know they're they're at they're at home. Uh,

791
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: and they're extremely tough at home. And you know, I

792
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: believe last week they got embarrassed Cameron Darrell, so there

793
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: could be a little chip on their shoulder. Um, would

794
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: you start Joe Flacco this week against this man? If

795
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: I need a quarterback? I absolutely would. Um, Steelers, you

796
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: know what's their achilles sale stopping the Yeah, their their

797
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: secondary's not that great. They have been doing it. Uh,

798
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: Il Flacci gave you twenty two earlier this season in Pittsburgh.

799
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: So I absolutely would do that, no question. Um. The

800
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 1: Lions to Minnesota take on the Vikings. Talked about Golden Tate.

801
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: He is no longer there, so that slot role is

802
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: sort of unoccupied at the moment. I mean there's talk

803
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: to maybe t J. Jones feels it. But my question

804
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: is this the dawn of THEO Riddick, Because it finally

805
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: is this finally the THEO ridic takes that big step

806
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: forward into the spotlight? All right, then there you go? Well,

807
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean like, uh, yeah, he's been limited in practice

808
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: this week, So um, I would I would say if

809
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: he's active and you're absolutely positively desperate for a flex

810
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: starter in a PPR league, then maybe you go out

811
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: and pick him up. But I don't know Carrie on Johnson.

812
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't have great rushing totals last week,

813
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: but he caught a whole bunch of balls out of

814
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the backfield. And to me, that's just reconfirming what I've

815
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: already known, is that Carrie Johnson can be a featured

816
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: back in the National Football League. And I hope Matt

817
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: Patricia U utilizes him as so, you know, I I

818
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: tried to put in a word for everybody with Matt

819
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: Patricia yesterday, or at least he looked like Matt Patricia.

820
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: He was hanging around at our holiday, our our Network

821
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: costume party. UM so I tried to like sort of

822
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: like a surrogate, you know, like those those fake stances

823
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: at the mall that our surrogates to to send the

824
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: messages on UM. I tried to use this guy as

825
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: a surrogate to get it to Matt Patricia that we

826
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: wanted more touches for carry On Johnson. Uh. Well, Kyle

827
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: Rudolph show up this week. He has been he's been

828
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: absent most of the man. And I know that says

829
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: you know a lot about tight ends, but he's really

830
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: been absent this year, very much so. And you weren't

831
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: really expecting that, right, I know, Kirk Cousins coming from Washington.

832
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: You know when when Jordan Reid was actually on the field,

833
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he did well Vernon Davis, but yeah, he

834
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: is he not now to be fair, he's gotten some

835
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: opportunities in the red zone and more particularly in the

836
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: end zone. Uh either he's been overthrown or you know,

837
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: uncatchable pass. It hasn't happened for him. So you know,

838
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: it's not like they've completely abandoned him as a red

839
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: zone option. But Rudolph and this kind of used to

840
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: be the way he was and now he's started morphing

841
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: back into that. If he doesn't score a touchdown for you,

842
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. There's nothing there, nothing there, um right,

843
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: And like the part is like he is he's a

844
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: distant third in targets, right, because it's it's feeling and

845
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: it's digs who were you know, the easily the two

846
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: options in the passing game, top two options in the

847
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: passing game. Kind of Rudolph's targets are way down behind them,

848
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: and it just makes it hard to to count on

849
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: him in a weekly basis. Falcons going to Washington. Uh,

850
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: that has been a good run defense. Do you start

851
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman this week? I have him as a flex.

852
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: He's outside of my top twenty running backs because the matchup,

853
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: like you said, it is tough, but I mean volume

854
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: is going to be there, at least you would think

855
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: so for Tevin Coleman. So because the volume is there,

856
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that maybe he gives me five catches, maybe

857
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: he sneaks into the end zone. Even if he doesn't,

858
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: I get maybe twelve points from him. But I'm tempering expectations,

859
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Now, you and I and you know,

860
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: we can have some fun with this. We totally disagree

861
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: on Matt Ryan this week. And and I don't think

862
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's gonna have a big game. And I know

863
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: you think that because mostly because he's on the road.

864
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: Well not it's not only that, but I just feel

865
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: like I feel like the the Redskins defense is tough

866
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: at home, Like like it's not even about like no,

867
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: no matter where Ryan is playing, if he was playing

868
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: on the road against the Bucks, I'd be like dude, startom.

869
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers went into fed X and was held

870
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: to under twenty points. Andrew Luck went into fed X

871
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: and was held to I believe under thirteen points. Now,

872
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: now Dad had a good game against him, but most

873
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: of Dak's production, they're a good chunk if it came

874
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: as a runner, right, and I believe, correct me if

875
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I believe did they play cam Also, I'm

876
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay them at home. And I had

877
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: a big game, but he also had a lot of

878
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: points as a runner, right, But also he's also threw

879
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and got to seventy five in the air.

880
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think to me, I feel like and

881
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is leaving that offensive fourteen points a game

882
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: on the road. They've only played two road games. That's nuts, right,

883
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: but they're also played two road games also coming off

884
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: a bye this week, to that means Steve starts and

885
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: who's done a very good job this year, He's had

886
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: an extra week to sort of work something up for

887
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: this game this week. Listen, man, I mean, if I'm wrong,

888
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: I'll say I'm wrong, but I would not be surprised

889
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: if Matt Ryan you know is under sixteen points this week.

890
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: I really would not be surprised if that is a

891
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: lower scoring game than than you would sort of think.

892
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: By the way, uh, just a quick update, this is

893
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: going to blow your mind. Matt Reid is playing anyway.

894
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: You know, I want to say a few things about

895
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: Matt Breads don't okay? Um, would you start any of

896
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: the Washington pass catches? Would you start Alex Smith against

897
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons? Would you start? You know, I don't even

898
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: know who's healthy Paul Richardson me? Why were his healthy?

899
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: Josh Dockson? Would Jordan Read? Would you start any of those?

900
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: I mean, because the matchup is great, but they haven't

901
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: done anything. Probably Read? Yeah right, I mean Read is

902
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: a guy that I would play. Um, you know, the numbers,

903
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: the numbers haven't been great. You know, maybe the targets

904
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: are up a little bit, but I mean, you know,

905
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: whoever is healthy at wide receiver on that team is

906
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: just it's very uninspiring. It's just, you know, like if

907
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowner was like, you know, in a PPR league,

908
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe I'm rolling the dice with him. But this team,

909
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you I was dead wrong about Adrian Peterson.

910
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: I thought he would be hurt by now I think

911
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: a lot of us were. And you don't and you

912
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: don't wish injuries on anyone, but you just you know,

913
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: thirty two year old dude who's got a lot of

914
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: a lot of trade on the tires. And you know

915
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: that touchdown running had against the Giants last week. I

916
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: mean that almost looked like at the end like it

917
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: was he and that that offense is now. And it's

918
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: weird because Jake Gruden, you know, loves to throw the

919
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: football right, love to the football. He said, so many

920
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks in terms of fantasy production. Even Andy Dalton

921
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: was a top five quarterback when Gruden was the O

922
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: C in Cincinnati. But this is a run based offense

923
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: on the Redskins are going ground and pound, They're playing

924
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: good defense, and they're running Adrian Peterson. And Peterson's success

925
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: has basically neutered. Chris Thompson, I mean Chris Thompson. Now

926
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: he goes from a guy that I was really excited

927
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: to draft two Damn do I even play him now?

928
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: I know he and he and and Dean Lewis have

929
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: kind of turned out to sort of be the same frustration. Uh,

930
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways this year, and that that

931
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: that hurts. I like both of them this year, and

932
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: he just didn't happen. My thing with Peterson is that,

933
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know so much he's gonna get hurt.

934
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: I just didn't think that they would find a way

935
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: to get him as many touches. I figured he would,

936
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, they would get him twelve to fifteen and

937
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: he would be okay, but that wouldn't be enough to

938
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: get anything going. Instead, they have kept him around twenty

939
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: touches pretty much every week and he's been great with it,

940
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: so that you know, you know what I was thinking though,

941
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: imagine if this was guys, Yeah you guys was running

942
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: behind this offensive line, the way this offense is playing.

943
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: And I think if if what the funny part is,

944
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: if guys was there, then I don't think we we

945
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: would have the frustration with christ Thompson. I think we

946
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: would just we just would have assumed that Chris Thompson

947
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been as much of a yes because you know,

948
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: Darius Guys would have handled a lot of the pass

949
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: catching duties as well. So yeah, uh, you know that

950
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: that just quite hasn't that worked out Texans at Broncos,

951
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: which DeShawn Watson will we see. I mean, the Broncos

952
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: have been awful against the run, They've been okay against

953
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,919
Speaker 1: the past, which Deshaun Watson evening shows up this week.

954
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the five touchdown Deshaun Watson, at

955
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: least I would think not. I mean, but even at

956
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: the shun, Watson didn't have a ton of yards. He

957
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: had those five touched at two or thirty nine the

958
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: yards was just okay. And the previous two weeks, I

959
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: mean it was bad. I mean, you know, he gave

960
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: you what ten and then there was a game, uh

961
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: it was it Buffalo? I think it was. I mean

962
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: he was terrible at like five points. But I expect

963
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: good Deshaun Watson. I think this could end up being

964
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: a pretty decently high scoring game. I'm not expecting thirty.

965
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm expecting eighteen to twenty two, somewhere in that range.

966
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: All right, Um, do you still trust the Broncos defense?

967
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: So so there's such a start the middle of the

968
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: road offense. They're not They're not terrible, They're just kind

969
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: of there. You know, I get it, And you know

970
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: Watson is prone to turnover. So I mean, the Broncos,

971
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: I guess could be a top ten defense this week.

972
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: But and they're at home, so that's gonna help. But

973
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: ever since they went to the to the Meadowlands when

974
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: I loved him and Sam Donald tore him apart and

975
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: it was just awful. And you know, they had that

976
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: huge game against the Cardinals, which you know now we know, hey,

977
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: you gotta start your defenses against Josh Rosen too, But

978
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: ever since then, I haven't really trusted the Broncos defense,

979
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: So I don't really trust him this week either. But

980
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: the matchup isn't necessarily bad. And the big storyline here

981
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: is the immediate revenge game of the Marius Thomas. I'll

982
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: throw this one to you. De Marius Thomas startable this

983
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: week with six teams on a buy. I get it.

984
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: Say all say there's no buys, say that you know

985
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: this is just a week where uh, you know, everyone's

986
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: everyone's out there on the gridiron. Would you be playing

987
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: the Marius Thomas just because of the revenge narrative? I mean,

988
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: if I were playing him, it wouldn't be as a

989
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: flex and to what would be because not so much

990
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: the revenge narrative but as in, like he knows what

991
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. I mean, he maybe he knows all

992
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: of their tendencies and like I don't know, maybe they

993
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: try to change their term. But you know, you can't

994
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: change all of your terminology in a week, uh, just

995
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: because of one guy on the other side. So yeah, look,

996
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: we saw it in Hard Knocks when Michael Kendrick's you know,

997
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: stood in front of the room and he told the

998
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: Browns everything he knew about the Eagles and gave them

999
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: a detailed scouting report. You can bet that the same

1000
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: thing happened this week with the Marius Thomas where he

1001
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: stood in front of the room, in front of the

1002
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: meeting room, and he laid out everything the Broncos do,

1003
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: who's you know, the strengths and weaknesses of each guy

1004
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: and this and that you can guarantee that happen. And

1005
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: so that's the reason why I like, that's the reason

1006
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: I would start. That's the reason that I would start

1007
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: the Marrius Thomas this week. But it would even then

1008
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: it would just be at as a flex at best

1009
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: Rams at Saints, which has the makings of of maybe

1010
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: the game of the week, um that or maybe that

1011
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: the Packers patrons, which will get to Rams with Saints? Um,

1012
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: same question for both. I mean anybody on either side

1013
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: of this game that you would consider sitting this with defenses.

1014
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: So that's it. Gobs a good play, Cooper Cup He's

1015
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be back this week. Yep, uh Woods Cooks.

1016
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean girl, I mean, girlly, I don't have to

1017
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: mention that, dude. Um, I'm not starting the tight ends.

1018
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm not starting Josh Reynolds New Orleans side of the ball.

1019
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: I think Ben Watson is a streamable option because the

1020
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: tight end position is so thin and you have six

1021
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: teams on a buy. I mean, you know, jeez, Michael

1022
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: Thomas hopefully, and he he hadn't been tremendous weeks over

1023
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,479
Speaker 1: his last few games. That a decent game, I would

1024
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: expect the big things from him. I would effect mark

1025
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: Ingram to bounce back this week and give you a

1026
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: better stat line, although I'm very interested to see in

1027
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: terms of what the snap share is and the and

1028
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 1: the touch areas between him and Alvin Camara, because Camara

1029
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: was clearly more involved last last week, no question about that. So, um,

1030
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean tray Kwon Smith, I mean

1031
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: deep leaks kind of sleeper in what could be a

1032
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: high scoring affair. So um, and I do think so

1033
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: Breeze is a big game this week. I'm selling high

1034
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: on him, high on him, I mean, and I've talked

1035
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: about it on NFL Fantasy Live. But you know, obviously

1036
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: he's a good play in what should be a high

1037
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: scoring game. But I do think that at some point,

1038
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: and we've already started to see it. I mean, he

1039
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: has stinker last week. The week before he was the

1040
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: average at best. That Breezes numbers is gonna They're gonna

1041
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: be far less consistent they were before Ingram came back

1042
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: uh Packard's at Patriots to mention another one of the

1043
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: marquee games of the week. Who is the number two

1044
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: receiver behind Davante Adams? Is it geront will Allison? Is

1045
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: it randall Com? I mean, I don't know that it's

1046
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez Scantling. I mean, who would you consider to

1047
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: be their wide receiver? To right, I don't really have that.

1048
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't from a fantasy perspective, I don't know that

1049
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: there is one, right. I mean, if you look at

1050
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: uh mvs is Fantasy points per touch, He's pretty high, right,

1051
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: he gets the ball, he's productive, but there's so many

1052
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: miles to feed there. I mean, and you know, I

1053
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: like Geronimo Allison last week, he didn't do anything. Um,

1054
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: but this is gonna be a high screen game. I

1055
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: guess if I had to pick one out of the

1056
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: out of the three UH including Randall Cobb, I'd probably

1057
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: end up going with UH. Without this scantling. But it's

1058
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: like a dart throw. I mean, it's an absolute I'm

1059
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: hoping this game Jimmy Graham gets into the day end

1060
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: zone because that guy has disappeared. I mean, you know,

1061
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: I get it. He was he was down to the

1062
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: one he would have had a touchdown and maybe we're

1063
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: not talking about that was it And everyone including myself,

1064
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: thought this guy is gonna be good for eight touchdowns,

1065
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, this season, and it just hasn't happened. But

1066
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 1: you've got the battle of like two of the best

1067
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: tight ends in fantasy football, you know, over the last

1068
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: decade or so in Gronkowski and Graham. Should be interesting. Um,

1069
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Josh Gordon. There's obviously a

1070
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of hype around him this season, and then when

1071
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: he got traded to the Patriots. You know, I had

1072
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: my little melt down here on this show and we

1073
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: thought maybe big things were gonna happen. It really hasn't.

1074
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been mediocre at best so far in

1075
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: New England. This as we said earlier, this seems like

1076
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: a game where he can break out. Know how Clinton

1077
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: Dix he was traded to Washington. How are we feeling

1078
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: about Josh Gordon right now? I like him this week,

1079
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: I really do. Um. I think this is this is

1080
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: one of those games where where Gordon can can get right.

1081
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: And you know, he had that one big game when

1082
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: Gronk wasn't out, and then last week you had the

1083
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: whole report about you know, he was gonna be suspended

1084
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: for the first quarter and that didn't happen. He ended

1085
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: up playing a full compliment and he had that one

1086
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: he hit that one drop from Brady that looked like

1087
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he lost it in the light,

1088
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: so that what it was. It was really weird. I mean,

1089
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: it's it clearly would have helped the stat line because

1090
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't all that impressive. But um, you know, I

1091
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: think that this is this is a week to start

1092
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. The culture have given up. I believe nine

1093
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns receivers who are lined out wide, so that is

1094
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: uh that that's a positive matchup, could be a high

1095
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: scoring game. As you mentioned, ha has bye bye, so

1096
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: that's he's a play for me. Gorgon's a play for me.

1097
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: Uh game. I accidentally skipped over Chargers at Seahawks. Charges

1098
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: doing up to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Um

1099
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in the midst of one of the best

1100
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 1: seasons of his career. But should you be worried about

1101
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: him this week against the seahaw His defense has been

1102
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: pretty good, little word. I'm a little word, and the

1103
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks are tough man, and I get it. There's no

1104
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: more legion or boom, obviously, but you look at the numbers.

1105
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they've given up fewer than twelve fantasy points

1106
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: a game to quarterbacks on their home field and overall

1107
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: they're giving up thirteen, so that ain't much. Chargers coming

1108
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: off by Melvin Gordon back, I would not expect Rivers

1109
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: to give you a monster stat line. I'd say his

1110
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: ceiling this week is probably around eighteen. I mean, depending

1111
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: on where you're getting, you know what you're getting from

1112
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: other places maybe you can live with an eighteen. Uh,

1113
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: it's weird. We're in age, We're eighteen fantasy points from

1114
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: quarterback all that great. It's kind of you know, it

1115
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: used to be like that's not not a bad week.

1116
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: Now it's like right before it was like if you

1117
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: got fifteen or sixte and you're like, okay, that's all

1118
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: right now, sixteen, like that's terrible. So I mean, but

1119
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: as a ceiling of eighteen, I mean, his floor I

1120
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: think could be pretty low this week. That defense is

1121
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: the defense is pretty tough. Also coming off by the Seahawks,

1122
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: are are a very talented team. That's where are you

1123
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: putting then Russell Wilson this week? Because he's he's playing better,

1124
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: he's super efficient. He's not throwing the ball a lot,

1125
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: but he's getting a lot done with a little bit

1126
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: of opportunity. How are you feeling? Where are you putting

1127
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: him this week? I got him in my top ten,

1128
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: But you have to worry about the fact that he's

1129
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: completing fourteen passes a game. I mean, but like two

1130
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: or three or touchdowns. So can you keep that up?

1131
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the question. And everything this season has

1132
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: really sort of pointed towards a Russell regression, and we

1133
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: have seen it. But the last three games he's been

1134
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: pretty good from a fantasy perspective, But can you keep

1135
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: up that ridiculous percentage of touchdown passes to completions We'll

1136
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: see because he's not running the ball. And this is

1137
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: and we say it every week now, I mean, that's

1138
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: that's what's killing him. Uh. From a fantasy standpoint, he's

1139
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: you're not getting You're not getting forty yards rushing every game.

1140
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: You're not getting nothing. I mean right now, I mean

1141
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: he's on pace for a fewer than two on the

1142
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: rushing yards. I believe it's not good, So I might

1143
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: still play him. Russell has always been a second half

1144
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 1: guy too, And I didn't like the matchup last week. Um,

1145
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: but but he's still he's still performed pretty well. So um,

1146
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: he's in my top ten. But he's towards the the

1147
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: end of the top ten, all right. Uh. The last

1148
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: game of the week, the Tennessee Titans head down to

1149
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: Dallas to take on the Cowboys. Who, if anyone do

1150
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: you trust in this Titans offense right now? Trust no one?

1151
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: Uh start probably only dude, And that's just because of

1152
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: his past catching chops. That's it. That's it man. I mean,

1153
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: you know he's had, you know, with three games all

1154
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: year where he's helped us. That's it. Did we did

1155
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: we overestimate Corey Davis? Or is he being held back

1156
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: by an offense they just can't can't get right? I mean,

1157
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: and because I don't, I don't think we expected over

1158
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: I don't think we expect the courts a game. That's it.

1159
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: That's it. And everyone was so excited about the offense

1160
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: with Floora coming in and they're gonna be dynamic, and

1161
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean hasn't really happened if you think about it.

1162
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: I mean lose to the Laney Walker, so that that

1163
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: was a big loss of veteran president of the guy

1164
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: who's gonna catch you know, sixties seventy balls um and

1165
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: you know Mariottes, you know, he banged up. He's been inconsistent. Uh,

1166
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, who I really thought would be a good

1167
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: flex starter this season. I mean, he has gone completely

1168
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: off the cliff. I get it. He scored a touchdown

1169
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: in the game there before the bye week, but I mean,

1170
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get it into the end zone right now,

1171
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: and he's not useful at all. And the Cowboys I

1172
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: think given a one touchdown on the ground to running

1173
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: backs this season on their home field. So Dan Lewis

1174
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: is the only dude, and now I don't know that

1175
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: I would trust him. I think he's a flex starter,

1176
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: but it's the only dude on that offense that I

1177
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: would start. I mean the Cowboys defense, it's good. It's

1178
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: a very good defense. It's a very underrated defense. It's

1179
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 1: a young and up and coming defense. And they're particularly

1180
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: good at home. Two of their best fantasy performances, actually

1181
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: two of their best fantasy performances um have come at

1182
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: home this season, both of you know, they had a

1183
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: big game against the Jaguars. I like the Cowboys defense.

1184
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm streaming him in a couple of leagues, and there's

1185
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with my FAI, you know, my fan

1186
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: allegiance at all. I just liked them this week. As

1187
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: a defense. I think they're gonna hold the Titans to

1188
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: fewer than you know that probably maybe fourteen points Max,

1189
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna get some turnovers, uh that

1190
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna They're gonna put Mariota in a position where

1191
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: you know he's he's gonna be under pressure. So I

1192
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: do like this matchup for the Cowboys D Yeah, I

1193
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: mean it's the Titans offense has just been so inept.

1194
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: They can't move it, they can't score points. Yeah, there's

1195
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing that's fearsome about it. We talked a little

1196
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: bit about some phrase we we talked about a Mari

1197
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: Cooper last week. Um, but now he's finally making his

1198
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: debut with the Cowboys. What are your expectations for him

1199
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: against a Titan secondary that's actually been pretty good this ue. Yeah.

1200
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, in my heart as a Cowboys fan, I'm

1201
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: hoping for big things. When I found out they traded

1202
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: him for a first round pick, I was not happy.

1203
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: I may have thrown out a few four letter words

1204
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: in fact, but I don't like the matchup. Like you said,

1205
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean the Tennessee Titans. They're giving up the seventh

1206
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,959
Speaker 1: fewest points to wide receivers on the road this year,

1207
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: and he's going to a team that is throwing the ball.

1208
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: But I think it's that their thirtieth maybe twenty nine

1209
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: in terms of past attempts. They don't throw them by

1210
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: that much. It's seek, you know, and like Deck's success

1211
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: in the fantasy statute is the last couple of games

1212
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: has become It's come predominantly because I mean, he's running

1213
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: the ball, which I'd love to continue to see. But

1214
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sort of sitting back and waiting to see

1215
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: what Cooper can do. I hope he can be a

1216
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver for this team. I don't expect it, though,

1217
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: And from a fantasy standpoint, I say he's a three.

1218
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: That's what he was in in Oakland and that's what

1219
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: he's going to be in Dallas. Yeah. I mean, it's

1220
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: just it's still a run heavy offense. This is still

1221
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's offense, and that makes it hard to trust

1222
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper or you know, the expect that he's gonna

1223
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of opportunities. So there you go.

1224
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: That's our Week nine preview. It brings us one of

1225
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: our favorite times of the week. It is time for

1226
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: Eddie's delirious pick. Alright, So what you got this week? Alright?

1227
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: So obviously, now we're midway through the season, NFL trading

1228
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: deadline just past thought I should make a pick based

1229
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: off of that, So I look at the receivers. Obviously,

1230
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: Demarrius Thomas traded in Golden Tate, Marii Cooper, uh, Josh Gordon,

1231
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: we can't forget was traded earlier this year. And if

1232
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: you want to throw in Time Montgomery as well. He

1233
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: plays kind of a hybrid role. But my prediction, or

1234
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: my delirious pick rather is to the rest of the season,

1235
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: de Marius Thomas will be the best overall in terms

1236
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: of fantasy stats out of all those UM receivers in

1237
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: that in that list, over Golden Tate. I like, yeah,

1238
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: I like him way more than gold I paint paint

1239
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: me to say this, but I think uh fabs will

1240
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: be happy. I think Mark Cooper actually will have the

1241
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: closest to to Marius Thomas. But I think, I mean,

1242
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: de Marius Thoms has been the most consistent receiver in

1243
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: in the league really and he's been playing with uh,

1244
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean in the last couple of years with with

1245
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon and and like his eyes that his quarterbacks

1246
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: had not been good. Anyone in this room could probably

1247
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: play better in Denver than than the quarterbacks they've had.

1248
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: And I think now with the Shaun Watson, you see

1249
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: how Watson's kind of shaking the russtop he's getting healthier.

1250
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 1: I mean you have five touchdown performance. Uh, they're they're

1251
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: leading the division now, like the Texans look like they're

1252
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: really on a role. Obviously, DeAndre Hopkins will get uh

1253
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: more of the defensive focus taken away from what you'll

1254
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: help about Damarrius Thomas. So I just think that Marius

1255
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Thoms will see a lot more targets. Um, we all

1256
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: know that that. You know, Will Fuller was great for

1257
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: uh for Deshaun Watson, So I think he's a guy

1258
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: like that. That's when when new Copkins is obviously you know,

1259
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: double team triple teams to find somebody out. And I

1260
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: think it's a great fresh star for a guy like

1261
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: DT to come and play with the legitimate quarterback. So

1262
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I think he'll have if anyone that owns him in

1263
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: fantasy will have a great guy the rest of the way.

1264
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: All right, um wow, I would Okay, So I have

1265
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: to ask that, like, sure, are you going against Golden

1266
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: Tate because he's an Eagle? Now? Is this like you're

1267
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: not even that because like I said, I think that

1268
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Cooper actually great. I just they almost have too many

1269
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: mouths defeat and in a sense like there are there

1270
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: is Ord's and they do have Agalore and they do

1271
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: have um uh Aushan Jeffrey. So I'm just not sure,

1272
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: like I don't know where. Like I think it's a

1273
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,439
Speaker 1: great move for them. I think, I mean obviously being

1274
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Golden and I love Golden Tate as a netter name fan,

1275
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: and I think in terms of the deep all, he's awesome.

1276
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: But I just see I could just see to Marris

1277
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Thomas like every game like five six, seven catches, like

1278
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, kind of near triple digits and yards and

1279
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean New New Coppins will get his,

1280
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: but I I just think that he we just forget

1281
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: how good he has been throughout his whole career, Like

1282
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: I said, consistency always really until the Paxiston Lynch semi

1283
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: in case Kingdom years uh, And I think not playing

1284
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: with the mobile guy like Deshaunt Watson, Uh, it's gonna

1285
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: be it's just gonna do ones for him. So I

1286
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: think I would put DT one uh Cooper a little

1287
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: bit behind him. So I do think it was a

1288
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: good move for the second half of the year. Paxiston Lynch,

1289
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I mean literally, if any of us here,

1290
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: we're playing quarterback DT would probably have better stats. You

1291
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: know what I think of when I think of Paxiston

1292
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Lynch is the fact that Jerry Jones wanted to trade

1293
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: up in that draft to get him and was usurped,

1294
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys ended up getting back in the fourth.

1295
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, it's those trades that you don't

1296
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: make the best reality and fantasy. Sometimes the best trades

1297
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: are the ones you don't make. All Right, before we

1298
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: go up into the mail bag, we got some tweets there, Yes,

1299
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: thank you to everyone who tweeted at the NFL podcast handle.

1300
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Don't forget to also tweet at myself or you got

1301
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: fabs and Marcus here. So we'll start with at it

1302
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: underscore s Jay's uh two wide receiver and a PPR league.

1303
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: It's either Trey Kwon Smith versu. The Rams, David Moore

1304
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: versus the Chargers, are Corey Davis versus the Cowboys? So

1305
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: which two would you take? Not Corey Davis? M man,

1306
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean, I think I think I think

1307
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm just done with Corey Davis. I mean, so i'd

1308
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: probably see for me, i'd probably have to go with

1309
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. UM and then my number two would be

1310
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: David Moore. Okay, alright, but I mean, dude, that is

1311
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: an uninspiring trio. And I'm sorry to that fantasy owner

1312
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: who has to make that decision because what I've known

1313
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: this a lot of these bye weeks that really hurt

1314
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot, heard a lot at baller I p l Um.

1315
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,959
Speaker 1: They have two, uh two different positional needs here three

1316
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Cohen Chubb and Howard at running back or and also

1317
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen or Cooper Cup. So Threek three Cohenny two

1318
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: running backs. It's just one running back, one receiver Treke

1319
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: has been hot, yeah, and then what was the other one?

1320
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Cooper Cup. You have to start one

1321
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: of them. You can't start too who he has on

1322
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the roster that the wow, I might I might go

1323
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Actually, Marcus is really I know, like it's

1324
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: like this makes me sad. I might go with Cooper Cups.

1325
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I just I think that's gonna be a much more

1326
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: high scoring game. Um. And as much as I love

1327
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, I mean he's just he's not getting red

1328
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: zone targets this year. It's the pet. It's the name

1329
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: versus the guy that it's like, if you don't play

1330
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, it's he'll have a hundred yards don't touchdown.

1331
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: You're like, man, I think the concern with Cooper Cup

1332
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: is that, you know, is he coming back too soon?

1333
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Is he right? So I hope he is. I'm playing him.

1334
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Uh h. Rod asked us, is Cortland's son better to

1335
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: have right now going forward than DJ Moore? Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1336
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: because I mean Emmanuel Sanders is going to be the

1337
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: number one option in Denver, but is the number two

1338
01:04:55,760 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: without question. Whereas in Carolina you've got Funches, you've Olsen,

1339
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and you met out of the backfield. So I think

1340
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be much easier for Sutton to get

1341
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: regular targets, and then it will be for more and

1342
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: we could end up here. Obviously after the time Montgomery trade,

1343
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Scott Willon asked us, when will we finally see hashtag

1344
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: free Aaron Jones, I hope now maybe this week? Who knows?

1345
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: I hope now? My fear with this and I don't

1346
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: you know again I laughed at the whole free Aaron

1347
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Jones thing. Um, that time Montgomery was only getting like

1348
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: two or three carries a game, and Aaron Jones isn't

1349
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: a huge part of the passing game, doesn't get a

1350
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: lot of targets. So I just I just have this

1351
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: sneaking suspicion that this is going to open up more

1352
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: for Jamal Williams than it will for Aaron. Did you

1353
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: not put that out there? I'm just I'm just saying,

1354
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: don't put it out there. I'm just calling it like

1355
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 1: I see it. I bought into this as well too.

1356
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm starting Aaron Jones this week, and I'm like, okay,

1357
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: well Montgomery's gone like he like markets is totally right.

1358
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely Williams is more of the fact that

1359
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: the trade will games that'll be way more happy. But

1360
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: if they changed mull Williams, it's all about free Aaron Jones.

1361
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike McCarthy wants to wins games, right, I

1362
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: mean you want to score points. That's the whole point

1363
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: of you know, the NFL has scored more points than

1364
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: the opponent you play to win the game. Right, As

1365
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Herman Edwards once said, the dude is so much talented

1366
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: than any other running back on that roster. So I

1367
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. Maybe Mike McCarthy just hates our

1368
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: fantasy team. I mean, that's that's always a possibility. That's

1369
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: something we gotta keep. It could be, could be actually,

1370
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: but you know what, I was in St. Louis a

1371
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, um at a Cardinals game, and

1372
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: I was down in the clubhouse with Adam Wayne, right, uh,

1373
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: my pal, and Jordy Nelson was there, and Aaron Rodgers

1374
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: there and McCarthy was there, and I talked to McCarthy

1375
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: for like a good ten fifteen minutes about fantasy football

1376
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: and his kids play it. Oh, I'm surely do. I mean,

1377
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: so maybe what we need to do is figure out

1378
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: on social media how we can contact one of Mike's

1379
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: kids and tell them to acquire Aaron Jones in the trade,

1380
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: because maybe they can get in his ear. It's a

1381
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: hate dad, you know, starting to Aaron Jones guy, you

1382
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: can maybe get him, you know, maybe like four or

1383
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,479
Speaker 1: five more touches per game than you have been because

1384
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I'd really would really really be good for dad. Come on,

1385
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: come on, maybe we got to do that. Maybe that's

1386
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: the way to do it. Good luck with that. Let

1387
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: me know how that works out for well. I mean,

1388
