Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Thursday, November two, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG,
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant with my guy Michael f Floria. Coming up,
Speaker 1: we're previewing the rest of the Week nine slate, plus
Speaker 1: we're giving you our fantasy heroes. Continuing our look at
Speaker 1: the Sunday early slate, we got the Rams at the Packers.
Speaker 1: Now the Rams trying to wait to see what the
Speaker 1: status of Matthew Stafford is going to be as he
Speaker 1: injured his thumb last week and the loss to the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Do we keep riding with Cooper Cup and
Speaker 1: Pooka Nakula And on the other side, what do we
Speaker 1: do about Christian Watson and Aaron Jones and a Packer
Speaker 1: offense that has been just straight up bad.
Speaker 2: I know they've been They've let you down a little
Speaker 2: bit as of late, but I still think with Cooper
Speaker 2: Cup and Pooka Nakula, the upside is far too high,
Speaker 2: especially with four teams on by in every place that
Speaker 2: I have those two, I'm not even considering sitting them,
Speaker 2: so I would not wreck even if Matthew Stafford doesn't
Speaker 2: play this week. I still think the upside is too
Speaker 2: high for these two guys that I'm gonna put them
Speaker 2: in my lineup and understand that the risk might be
Speaker 2: single digits, but the upside is twenty plus. As for
Speaker 2: the Packers, Watson is a sit right now. Half of
Speaker 2: his targets this year have been uncatchable. It's more on
Speaker 2: Jordan Love than on him. But we're getting no big
Speaker 2: plays out of this Packers offense. It's been a grind
Speaker 2: just to get anything going. He has not reached twelve
Speaker 2: Fantasy points.
Speaker 1: In a game this year.
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, I don't know what to do with him.
Speaker 2: Every week he suits up and it's like, Okay, he's playing,
Speaker 2: but he's playing less snaps than AJ Dillon. They're splitting groundwork.
Speaker 2: He's not really getting used in the passing game. I
Speaker 2: think because of the status of the running back position
Speaker 2: right now, you probably just got a roll with Aaron Jones.
Speaker 2: But I feel worse about him than I have in years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what to do with Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: Christian Watson. I could figure out how to bench and
Speaker 1: put him in just at him and not really worry
Speaker 1: about that. I would say I'm with you. You're riding
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, you're riding with Pooka Nakua. Since Cup came
Speaker 1: back in week five, those two guys combining for about
Speaker 1: two thirds of the targets about seventy five percent of
Speaker 1: the air yards. The floor obviously is lower now, the
Speaker 1: ceiling probably a little bit lower. But just because they're
Speaker 1: so good and they're so focused in the offense, there's
Speaker 1: the potential for them to still have a good game
Speaker 1: regardless of who the quarterback is. And you know, we'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll see if it's Stafford somehow, or if it's going
Speaker 1: to be Brett Rippon, or you know, maybe if John
Speaker 1: Wolford comes riding to the rescue. We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: The upside to that is that, hopefully with Stafford, this
Speaker 1: is a short term thing, so you're only having to
Speaker 1: muddle through for a week or two before you have
Speaker 1: to really make any real decisions there Buccaneers at the
Speaker 1: Texans two running backs who have been meh or worse.
Speaker 1: You got Rashad White on one side, you got Damian
Speaker 1: Pierce on the other. I think at this point we
Speaker 1: can sort of wash our hands of Ian Pierce after
Speaker 1: a bad game against the Panthers. But Rashad White's playing
Speaker 1: pretty well lately. Do we stay with the hot hand here?
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: He's given you over fifteen fantasy points in two straight
Speaker 2: He's getting used more in the passing game, which goes
Speaker 2: a long way. And the Texans they're not what they
Speaker 2: were last year in terms of struggling against the run,
Speaker 2: but you can beat them on the ground a whole
Speaker 2: lot easier than you can through the air. They've only
Speaker 2: allowed five passing touchdowns this season after allowing the fewest
Speaker 2: last year. So, yeah, Rashad White, as you guys know,
Speaker 2: I didn't like him coming into the year, and I
Speaker 2: had him as a sid a whole bunch. His schedule
Speaker 2: was insanely hard the first six weeks or so of
Speaker 2: the season. It started to open up, and we're getting
Speaker 2: better results.
Speaker 1: We are getting better results, and I think he actually
Speaker 1: has sort of elevated himself in value because of the
Speaker 1: way the offense has changed. The Bucks could not run
Speaker 1: the football, and that was the big knock on him
Speaker 1: is that he was incredibly inefficient running the football. He
Speaker 1: wasn't getting a whole lot done there. So lately it
Speaker 1: seems like Tampa has sort of changed and Dave Canalis
Speaker 1: has gone to a short passing game instead of really
Speaker 1: just trying to run the football, which means what White
Speaker 1: has lost in carries. The carries are down over the
Speaker 1: last few weeks from where they were earlier in the season,
Speaker 1: but the targets have picked up. And you know this
Speaker 1: as well as anybody. A target is worth so much
Speaker 1: more than a carry. So if he's gonna get fewer
Speaker 1: rushing attempts but get more targets, then into being maybe
Speaker 1: a better back than we envisioned at the start of
Speaker 1: the season. So I think you stay with him as
Speaker 1: long as this is how the Bucks are going to operate.
Speaker 1: You keep getting those targets from Rashad White. You look
Speaker 1: at the last two weeks, thirteen targets, it's turned into
Speaker 1: thirteen catches for one hundred and thirty five yards. They
Speaker 1: may not be able to run it, but if they're
Speaker 1: throwing it to him, then I like Rashad White even better,
Speaker 1: and I think you stick with this. Commanders at the Patriots. Look,
Speaker 1: the big upset in the NFL last week was not
Speaker 1: the Broncos over the Chiefs. It was Sam Howe getting
Speaker 1: sacked just one time against the Philadelphia Eagles. But Matt
Speaker 1: Jones very quietly been I won't say good, but less
Speaker 1: bad over the last couple of weeks. Can we stream
Speaker 1: him against the Commander's defense that is incredibly toothless right now?
Speaker 1: And do we trust any of his pass catchers.
Speaker 2: I think you can stream Mac Jones this week, And
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you to play him over your regular
Speaker 2: You know you're Dak Prescott's or anyone like that, But
Speaker 2: Dak is the name that keeps coming to my mind.
Speaker 2: I try to think of a quarterback, but like Jared
Speaker 2: Goffson by this week, Trevor Lawrence is on by, Brock
Speaker 2: Pardy is on by. So if you need a replacement
Speaker 2: for one of those guys or in two quarterback leagues,
Speaker 2: Mac Jones is in play because of the matchup. Commanders
Speaker 2: have allowed the third most passing yards, most passing touchdowns,
Speaker 2: second most fantasy points per game, and they allow a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of deep passes as well, so a chance
Speaker 2: for big plays in chunks. As for the pass catchers,
Speaker 2: I don't have a ton of confidence in any of them,
Speaker 2: but if I was to play anyone, it would be
Speaker 2: Dmario Douglas, who last week led them in.
Speaker 1: Routes and targets. I think I feel bad because Kendrick
Speaker 1: Bourne was starting to play well tears the ACL He's
Speaker 1: out for the year, so Douglas does sort of like
Speaker 1: the next man up. Maybe there's some Devonte Parker, maybe
Speaker 1: there's a Juju Smith Schuster in there somewhere, but I
Speaker 1: would try to stream mac Jones if you can. The Commanders,
Speaker 1: as we learned on Fantasy Live a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: they have allowed a top ten fantasy quarterback every week
Speaker 1: since Week two, so that means they are just getting
Speaker 1: crushed every single week. On top of it, they trade
Speaker 1: Montese Sweat to the Chicago Bears. They trade Chase Young
Speaker 1: to the San Francisco forty nine ers, so now they
Speaker 1: have even less of a pass rush than they did before.
Speaker 1: Their secondary is getting cooked on the regular. So mccorkel
Speaker 1: Jones might have some fantasy value for you this week.
Speaker 1: Bears at the Saints. How worried should we be about
Speaker 1: Chris o'lave in the New Orleans offense? Very unfortunately?
Speaker 2: Like I believe that Chris Olave is one of the
Speaker 2: best wide receivers in the NFL. Unfortunately the Saints. Derek
Speaker 2: Carr doesn't seem to agree. If they're throwing the ball short,
Speaker 2: it's going to Alvin Kamara. If they're throwing the ball deep,
Speaker 2: it's going to Rashid Shahid, who has like seventy I
Speaker 2: think it's seventy one percent of the Saints passes on
Speaker 2: deep balls this year and all of their touchdowns. And
Speaker 2: last year we were calling Chris Olave mister air Yards
Speaker 2: because we were like, hey, all he does is rack
Speaker 2: up air yards and put up big numbers on those
Speaker 2: deep passes. But that hasn't come to fruition. It's been
Speaker 2: a bit of an up and down year for Chris Olav.
Speaker 2: He's not at the point where we can't start him
Speaker 2: for fantasy or anything like that, but it's just at
Speaker 2: the point where it's like, yeah, he's not going to
Speaker 2: live up to the lofty expectations. It's the ability that
Speaker 2: I truly believe he could play at.
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things where everything seems to
Speaker 1: be trending toward him having a big game and it
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. The very smart, very talented, very funny
Speaker 1: Ian Harditz, who you can find over at fantasy life.
Speaker 1: He keeps track of what he calls unrealized air yards,
Speaker 1: where it's you know, they're air yards that just don't
Speaker 1: connect for whatever reason. And Chris o'lave is far and
Speaker 1: away leading the world in unrealized air yall.
Speaker 2: You led them in that last year too.
Speaker 1: They're just they're trying to get him the ball downfield,
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, he and Derek Carr just can't
Speaker 1: connect in that regard. And you mentioned somehow it's working
Speaker 1: out with Rashid Shahed. They're getting the short passes to
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, they're working the intermediate part of the field
Speaker 1: with Mike Thomas and Taysom Hill. But just for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: car and Olave just can't get it going. And I
Speaker 1: keep trying. I keep believing that one of these weeks
Speaker 1: it's just going to click. Hopefully it does. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of ballgame left in terms of
Speaker 1: the regular season. It's only week nine, right There are
Speaker 1: still including this week, there's still ten more weeks left
Speaker 1: of the of the NFL regular season. You gotta believe
Speaker 1: at some point it's gonna come together. It hasn't yet.
Speaker 1: It's incredibly frustrating. I'm not willing to give up though
Speaker 1: a Chrys o'lave in twenty twenty three, I just can't. Ah.
Speaker 1: We still got a whole bunch of games left to go.
Speaker 1: We got the later part of the slate, plus Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football, Monday Night Football, and our Fantasy Heroes. As
Speaker 1: we come back on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, looking
Speaker 1: at the late slates of games from Week nine, We'll
Speaker 1: start with the Colts at the Panthers. Do we start
Speaker 1: Zak Moss? Do we start any of the Panthers running backs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you start Zach Moss one hundred percent. I don't
Speaker 2: think people fully realize that in the four games that
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor has played, Zach Moss has outscored him in
Speaker 2: three of them. They continue to split opportunities, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: last week Taylor played more snaps, but they it was
Speaker 2: fourteen opportunities to Moss's thirteen. Moss is the one that
Speaker 2: gets used near the goal line a bit. They're both
Speaker 2: used in the passing game, and in this grade of
Speaker 2: a matchup, you start them both. And I think on
Speaker 2: the other side, Chuba Hubbard is in play as a
Speaker 2: sneakier option. Sixty six percent of the snaps this past week,
Speaker 2: fifteen carries, two targets, got all the work near the goal.
Speaker 2: Miles Sanders had two touches. So the Colts they struggle
Speaker 2: against running backs. If I'm going anywhere in Carolina, it is.
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard for sure, starting Zach Moss. You mentioned the
Speaker 1: run that Zach Moss has been on lately. He is
Speaker 1: the running back four over the last month, so he
Speaker 1: is still getting it done. Even with Jonathan Taylor there.
Speaker 1: The Panthers are awful at stopping the run. On the
Speaker 1: other side, I guess you can start Chuba Hubbard. I
Speaker 1: don't want any part of that backfield because the worst
Speaker 1: thing to happen last week was that you had three
Speaker 1: guys getting opportunity. Now, granted, Miles Sanders only had two carries,
Speaker 1: which he turned into zero yards and zero points the
Speaker 1: old Bluto blue Tarski for anybody old enough to remember,
Speaker 1: Animal House zero point zero. I just it's a bad offense.
Speaker 1: They can't run the football. Even if the Colts aren't
Speaker 1: great against against running backs, I am terrified to get
Speaker 1: behind any one of them down there in Carolina. So
Speaker 1: I guess Cuba Hubbard. But that would be about it
Speaker 1: giants at the Raiders mentioned at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: a lot of changes in Las Vegas. New head coach
Speaker 1: at least interim, a new play caller on offense, any
Speaker 1: new starting quarterback. We sort of talked about DeVante Adams,
Speaker 1: so they rehash we can trust Davonte Adams this week, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this week you could trust DeVante Adams squeet.
Speaker 2: This is the ultimate squiky wheel narrative, right, Like, he
Speaker 2: got his coach fired, he was so upset. I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna come out and just the game plan. If
Speaker 2: you watch Hey Arnold where they're like give the ball
Speaker 2: to Tucker, it's just gonna be like, give the ball
Speaker 2: to DeVante Adams. And I think Josh Jacobs is the
Speaker 2: other Raider you could trust with confidence this week. Jacoby
Speaker 2: Myers depends on your options.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really big on Jacoby Myers just yet.
Speaker 1: I want to take a wait and see. One of
Speaker 1: my other bold predictions for the week is that Davante
Speaker 1: Adams is gonna get like fifteen targets. I might even
Speaker 1: bump that up to twenty. I came up with that
Speaker 1: thought before Josh McDaniels was fired. Now that he's fired
Speaker 1: and they've got a new It might be twenty targets
Speaker 1: for DeVante. It might just be hey, Aiden, look at
Speaker 1: number seven and throw him the ball, don't care. I
Speaker 1: think this is very much the Squeaky wheel situation, and
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams is going to get quite a bit of
Speaker 1: Greece to help move that offense along. Cowboys at the
Speaker 1: Eagles definitely one of the more fun games on the
Speaker 1: schedule this week, Big one in the NFC East. Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard has not had a great season. He has not
Speaker 1: been super efficient, and the Eagles are good against running backs.
Speaker 1: But you can't sit Tony Pollard right, and you can't
Speaker 1: sit DeVante Adam or Devontae Smith right. You can't sit
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams either, but you can't sit DeVonta Smith right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think you could get away from either of them.
Speaker 2: And it has been disappointing this year. Like Tony Pollard
Speaker 2: right now is the RB sixteen on this season. He
Speaker 2: has not scored a touchdown since Week one. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: that is is very disappointing. The receiving numbers isn't what
Speaker 2: I had hoped they would be coming into this year.
Speaker 2: I thought he had RB one overall upside, but still
Speaker 2: in this match. I know it's a tough matchup against
Speaker 2: the Eagles, but I cannot get away a lot of
Speaker 2: points could be scored in that one. And on the
Speaker 2: other side, DeVonta Smith like, yeah, he's taking a back
Speaker 2: seat because aj Brown after the first two weeks was like,
Speaker 2: throw me the ball more and then he's gone on
Speaker 2: the greatest.
Speaker 1: Six week run in wide receiver history.
Speaker 2: But DeVante showed us last week that the upside is
Speaker 2: far too high. It just takes one long play for
Speaker 2: him to have a really nice fantasy game.
Speaker 1: So I'm starting him. I'm starting him because of the
Speaker 1: potential for the ceiling, understanding that the floor has been,
Speaker 1: you know, lower than we thought it would be, and
Speaker 1: they've got a tough matchup against that Dallas secondary. Deron
Speaker 1: Bland has been great this year. He's got three pick sixes.
Speaker 1: The NFL record for a single season is four, so
Speaker 1: he's still got a handful of games to tie or
Speaker 1: break that record. So I think you stick with DeVonta Smith,
Speaker 1: hoping that he gets closer to the ceiling than to
Speaker 1: the floor. Same with Pollard. Look, I know he hasn't
Speaker 1: been really efficient in his opportunities this year, but it's
Speaker 1: hard to get away from him, just because of the
Speaker 1: potential volume, the fact that he's always on the field.
Speaker 1: He's still getting targets for the most part, he's still
Speaker 1: getting carries. I can't I can't get away from Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: I just I'm hard pressed to believe that people have
Speaker 1: a better option out there sitting on their bench at
Speaker 1: this point. Sunday Night Football, the Bills at the Bengals,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, of course, the last time we
Speaker 1: saw this matchup, we had the really terrible and scary
Speaker 1: moment with Damar Hamlin on Monday Night Football last year.
Speaker 1: So the Bills and Bengals will meet again this season
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. James Cook, sort of like Tony Pollard, has
Speaker 1: not been what we hoped he would be. Is it
Speaker 1: time to back away from James Cook?
Speaker 2: James Cook is very much so a it depends on
Speaker 2: your options type of player. Now, in his last four games,
Speaker 2: the three without a touchdown, he's scored less than nine
Speaker 2: Fantasy points, so more.
Speaker 1: Of a low floor.
Speaker 2: Early on in the year, he had looked really good,
Speaker 2: was giving you double digits very consistently. But now Leonard
Speaker 2: Fournette is there. They clearly for some reason want to
Speaker 2: get a bigger back more involved. I watch their games
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, just use James Cook. He is
Speaker 2: getting the job done, He's better than Latavius Murray. And
Speaker 2: they're just like determined to get a big power back
Speaker 2: heavily involved. So to me, James Cook is more of
Speaker 2: a low end RB two or flex option. Now pains
Speaker 2: me to say it, but it solely depends on your options.
Speaker 1: I I don't know, Maybe I'm just being too optimistic
Speaker 1: about it right, Like, I can't quit James Cook in
Speaker 1: part because it feels like his role itself hasn't really changed.
Speaker 1: Now the guys they bring in to sort of give
Speaker 1: him rest have changed. You know. It was Damien Harris
Speaker 1: for a little bit. He's gotten hurt. We see more
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray. Now there's Leonard Fournette there, so we'll see
Speaker 1: how that sort of works in there. But James Cook's
Speaker 1: role has always been James Cook's role. The thing that
Speaker 1: might hurt him more than anything is if Josh Allen
Speaker 1: is really committed to running the football again, because that
Speaker 1: takes away some of those rushing opportunities from Cook. It
Speaker 1: also means a lot of those short targets that he
Speaker 1: might have otherwise gotten aren't going to be there because
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's just gonna take off and run with the
Speaker 1: ball a lot of times out of structure. So that
Speaker 1: concerns me a little bit. But in other words, his
Speaker 1: role has sort of been his role. We'd love for
Speaker 1: him to score more touchdowns, but you know, I think
Speaker 1: he is who he kind of has been all season long.
Speaker 1: That part hasn't changed. So I think you know, if
Speaker 1: you've been starting him and as long as you've been successful, look,
Speaker 1: if you're losing and you need, if you need to
Speaker 1: swing for the fences and try to get a high
Speaker 1: ceiling play, I understand that. But if you're doing okay,
Speaker 1: I think you just kind of keep rolling with James
Speaker 1: Cook at this point. I know it's disappointing, but you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes life is disappointing. It's a lesson for all of
Speaker 1: you out there Monday night football. To wrap things up,
Speaker 1: it's the Chargers and the Jets from New Jersey. The
Speaker 1: Chargers got a much needed win last week against the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Any worries about some of your Chargers against
Speaker 1: a pretty good Jets defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Justin Herbert is still in play. I
Speaker 2: think that Keenan Allen and Austin Eckler are too good
Speaker 2: to get away from. But like Josh Palmer Quinton Johnston,
Speaker 2: your secondary options there yet you could get away actually,
Speaker 2: because Johnson exclusively plays outside and Josh Palmer runs over
Speaker 2: two thirds of his routes outside, which means you're gonna
Speaker 2: get a whole lot of who this man dressed up
Speaker 2: as Halloween for and Saft Garden Ohs and DJ Reid
Speaker 2: and the Jets allowed by far, it's like sixteen fantasy
Speaker 2: points per game to opposing wide receivers. Every other team's
Speaker 2: over twenty one. Like it is by far the toughest
Speaker 2: matchup for a receiver. So yeah, you start your studs
Speaker 2: and that's it.
Speaker 1: You talk about Sauce Gardner and I went and looked
Speaker 1: this up on PFF. He has been targeted on just
Speaker 1: eleven percent of his coverage snaps this year. Wide receivers
Speaker 1: against him have caught twenty passes for one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty three yards and I think one touchdown, which I
Speaker 1: was looking at the equivalent if you were looking at
Speaker 1: wide receivers who have that number. Braxton Barrios has legend
Speaker 1: twenty catches for one hundred and one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: four yards and one touchdown. Braxton Burios is the wide
Speaker 1: receiver sixty seven on the year, so Sauce Gardner is
Speaker 1: allowing the equivalent basically of the wide receiver sixty seven
Speaker 1: for the season. DJ Reed has also been very good
Speaker 1: back there. I get it. You're starting Keenan Allen, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get away from Keenan Allen because
Speaker 1: he's a guy with a high ceiling. But understand that
Speaker 1: this is a week that might not be great for
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. You know, I think you can get away
Speaker 1: from Josh Palmer. I'll say this though, I like whoever
Speaker 1: starts it Tighten, whether it's Donald Parham or Gerald Everett.
Speaker 1: I sort of like that player as a sleeper this week,
Speaker 1: so maybe you can start them and feel okay about it.
Speaker 1: You're starting Austin Eckler as well, but the ceilings are
Speaker 1: lower for a lot of your chargers this week against
Speaker 1: the Jetropolitans. That is the end of the Week nine slates,
Speaker 1: but we are not done yet. It's time to see
Speaker 1: who will deliver presented by Uber Eats. These are the
Speaker 1: guys who are going to rescue you from a burning
Speaker 1: fantasy building and whisk you off to safety. So who
Speaker 1: is your hero for Week nine?
Speaker 2: Don't ever call me a homer, because I'm going with
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow against my Buffalo Bills. Joe Burrow looked healthy
Speaker 2: this past week. Not only did he throw for two
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty three yards and three touchdowns, what really
Speaker 2: stood out to me was he ran for forty three yards,
Speaker 2: which puts any concern about his calf and that injury
Speaker 2: that was holding back this offense early on, that's all
Speaker 2: behind us now, and then we know that that Joe Burrow,
Speaker 2: a fully healthy Burrow, is a top five fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 2: Now he gets the Bills I knew. I know they
Speaker 2: added Douglas yesterday, but they still have allowed over nineteen
Speaker 2: fantasy points to Mac Jones and Baker Mayfield in back
Speaker 2: to back weeks. So, yeah, Joe Burrow is gonna have
Speaker 2: a monster week, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Burrow looks like Joe Burrow again, and the
Speaker 1: Bengals offense looks like it is rolling again. Meanwhile, I
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Taylor this week, and I know we talked
Speaker 1: about the Colts running game. We talked about Zach Moss specifically,
Speaker 1: but let's not forget Jonathan Taylor is the lead back
Speaker 1: there and he's starting to get more touches, more opportunities.
Speaker 1: He had ninety five rushing yards on just twelve carries
Speaker 1: last week for Indianapolis, and now he gets that awful
Speaker 1: Carolina run defense. And this has been an offense in
Speaker 1: Indy that's leaned heavily on its running back since Anthony
Speaker 1: Richardson went down with the season ending shoulder injury. We
Speaker 1: know Gardner Minsho's not just going to take off and
Speaker 1: run if he doesn't have to, So that means that
Speaker 1: both Taylor and Moss will get plenty of touches. Both
Speaker 1: those guys are very much in play. But I think
Speaker 1: we're going to see a really big Jonathan Taylor game
Speaker 1: coming up this week against the Carolina Panthers. Week nine. Man,
Speaker 1: we are in the back half of the fantasy regular season,
Speaker 1: and it's flying along.
Speaker 2: At this point, it is flying and Week nine is
Speaker 2: probably the most excited I've been for a slate of
Speaker 2: regular season since Week one, like when it first, Like
Speaker 2: that's how good the games are.
Speaker 1: This week. They really are very very good this week,
Speaker 1: so looking forward to that one. And on the West coast,
Speaker 1: you're waking up early to check out the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: the Dolphins from Frankfurt, Germany. Of course again you can
Speaker 1: see that game on it on Network. You can stream
Speaker 1: it live on NFL Plus. That was Who Will Deliver,
Speaker 1: presented by Uber Eats, where you can get almost almost anything,
Speaker 1: the official on demand delivery partner of the NFL Order. Now,
Speaker 1: all right, that is it. We are done. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show. You
Speaker 1: know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two friends
Speaker 1: rate review and remember everyone does their own stunts, not
Speaker 1: everyone does them intentionally. Be safe, take care of yourselves.
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Josh. We'll talk to you again real soon.
