Speaker 1: Friends Forever. M to to to Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Don to Yo,
Speaker 1: says the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. Although inside Frankie Stamfell, I am Greg Susman. Friday.
Speaker 1: What's going on? But it Greg t G I f
Speaker 1: thank god it's Friday. And oh boy, what a game
Speaker 1: did we have last night? Greg? I would say early
Speaker 1: contender for Game of the Year. Again, it's only week four.
Speaker 1: It's a fun game. It is the winner for fun
Speaker 1: game of the Year. I would say it was the
Speaker 1: best game of the year. It was fun, it was awesome,
Speaker 1: but it was not like the Fantasy Game of the
Speaker 1: year Fantasy Game of the Year. Yeah, I mean that that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Steeler Steelers Chiefs was also really good.
Speaker 1: That was a great one. That was a great one
Speaker 1: the Saints and the last week was another. The thing
Speaker 1: is with this one, if you had any player in
Speaker 1: this game outside of Dalvin Cook feeling pretty good, like
Speaker 1: literally anybody and Sam Ficking probably, but like literally anybody, anybody.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that was fun. That was down out to
Speaker 1: Bavona too. I like that promo before we came in
Speaker 1: pumping me up for saying I like Jared Goff more
Speaker 1: than Kirk Cousins. I mean, mind you you don't. You
Speaker 1: don't need to dive a little bit deeper. You can
Speaker 1: if you want. Had Jared Goff is my living frand
Speaker 1: quarterback Kirk Cousin is my twelve. It seems like both
Speaker 1: of those guys are gonna be locked for top five
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this week. Nobody saw that coming. But we did
Speaker 1: get Jared Goff over Kirk Cousins right yesterday. You absolutely,
Speaker 1: I guess we both did love right yesterday. A betting perspective,
Speaker 1: we did pretty well. Adam Feeling got the over, You
Speaker 1: got the over overall in the points in the first half,
Speaker 1: it's right, um. And then I think with the Rams
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs right now, you just can't bet the
Speaker 1: under on these teams. You just can't. There's no way
Speaker 1: to do it. Until we see a game where either
Speaker 1: the Rams or Chiefs score less than like thirty five points.
Speaker 1: I just don't see how you can bet the under
Speaker 1: on either one of these teams. Unbelievable. How much fun
Speaker 1: that game was, Like I said, it didn't matter who
Speaker 1: you had. It weren't got great. Well, it was fun
Speaker 1: to watch. It might have been fun if you were
Speaker 1: going up against Jared Goff, because I saw some screenshots
Speaker 1: online already. People down a hundred points sucks for a
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. Imagine that you faced Jared Goff, Cooper Cup,
Speaker 1: and Adam Thelan. It's not over till it's over. But
Speaker 1: it's over. It's over. I'm sorry I had for once.
Speaker 1: It looks like until Chris Hogan goes off UM and
Speaker 1: made the right decision in one of my leagues, starting
Speaker 1: both Cup and Robert Woods last night, that was awesome.
Speaker 1: Told um up fifty one nothing right now, I think
Speaker 1: it's nice, not no problem there, UM. So then it
Speaker 1: is line up day. So I'll have a decision to
Speaker 1: make between Calvin Realley, Kennyan Drake, and Chris Hogan. Pick one.
Speaker 1: I'll start off. Chris Hogan is out of contention. He's
Speaker 1: out of this here for me. So it's between Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake and Calvin Ridley. UM, and you already have a
Speaker 1: what fifty one point lead? You go to Drake for the
Speaker 1: the safety and Drake is safer just because it touches right,
Speaker 1: like running back touches are always safer than wide receiver targets. Like, yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley's trending in the right direction. Sixty yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown a week too. Obviously at the Monster game
Speaker 1: last week, a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 1: reactionary and say, oh, you have to get Calvin Ridley
Speaker 1: in your line up. Absolutely, Let's not forget the Bengal
Speaker 1: secondary is pretty good. They have Drake Kirkpatrick, who, according
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus, is going to be lined up
Speaker 1: on the same side with Calvin Ridley a lot in
Speaker 1: this game. I'm not saying that's going to completely limit him.
Speaker 1: But obviously we're projecting forward. We're not just looking back
Speaker 1: on what's happened with Calvin Ridley um and to that
Speaker 1: same token, Kenyan Drake was absolutely brutal last week. I
Speaker 1: think he's in a good spot to bounce back. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure he has immense upside, but I think Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake is still pretty safe. Let men start calor really
Speaker 1: in landing, George. Look, it's certainly more fun. I'll give
Speaker 1: you that right now, having fun. I have Calvin Ridley
Speaker 1: in my wide receiver rankings. I'll pull it up. I
Speaker 1: have him, I believe, like thirty two or thirty three,
Speaker 1: so he's like a solid wide receiver three. And where's
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake? And that a lot of and that a
Speaker 1: lot of ranks. And you Drake just because the running
Speaker 1: back position, I mean you hear it every single year,
Speaker 1: but I I feel like, especially more so this week.
Speaker 1: Right when I was looking at the running back landscape,
Speaker 1: it's bad. It's very bad, Greg, Like when you have
Speaker 1: both Broncos running back still ranked inside your top thirty
Speaker 1: and you don't know who's going to get the ball. Like,
Speaker 1: the running back position is bad. And I have Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake ranked as my RB eight team on the week,
Speaker 1: so he's just ahead of Chris Carson, Sony Michelle James White,
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson and if you if you disagree with
Speaker 1: any of those, I am okay to open it up
Speaker 1: like if I can, I can understand wanting to use
Speaker 1: Carson or the Patriots guys over Kenyan Drake. These are
Speaker 1: just my standard rankings. UM, just because Carson had incredible
Speaker 1: volume last week, the Patriots offense, Sony Michelle looks like he,
Speaker 1: you know, could be the guy that's getting the scoring opportunities,
Speaker 1: and then weekend in week out, James White has you know,
Speaker 1: really been the Patriots running back to own and the
Speaker 1: ones to trust. I will clearly say that in half
Speaker 1: point PPR and PPR I would use James White over
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake because these are my standard ranks. So I
Speaker 1: have Kenyan Drake ranked RB eight teen. There you go,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm just not feeling low right now, Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: And I understand you got burned last week. Come on,
Speaker 1: you can't have recency biased, you can't. You gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta forget, you gotta forgive and forget. You're going with
Speaker 1: Calvin wrong with that UM question, Prety, I mentioned Chris Hogan. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a question about Chris Hogan versus Mike Williams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have. I have Mike Williams ranked hire right now,
Speaker 1: and I'm very high on Mike Williams. He's actually one
Speaker 1: of the players that I'm higher than the consensus on
Speaker 1: this week, Greg, especially now with this, uh, this injury
Speaker 1: that's popped up with keenanallenge I don't really know much about,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't practiced the last couple of days with
Speaker 1: a knee injury. But for Mike Williams, UM, he's the
Speaker 1: wide receiver fifteen overall right now in standard leagues, UM.
Speaker 1: And he's going up against the forty Niners defense that
Speaker 1: has been torched by running backs, torched by wide receivers recently,
Speaker 1: and they're going to be rich without Richard Sherman in
Speaker 1: this contest. So I could trust Mike Williams as a
Speaker 1: solid wide receiver three regardless of format, A kind of
Speaker 1: similar to what I said about Andrew Luck. With Chris Hogan,
Speaker 1: he hasn't given us much to inspire confidence, So I'll
Speaker 1: use Mike Williams, a guy who's been getting done more
Speaker 1: more so than Chris Hogan. Totally agree with that. UM.
Speaker 1: Going back to Thursday Night Football here before we kind
Speaker 1: of move on and focus on the weekend. Um, it's
Speaker 1: cool that the Rams are involving all three of their guys,
Speaker 1: Like all three of those guys are startable every week there.
Speaker 1: I had all three and top they're all wide receivers
Speaker 1: once this week and they all came through all between.
Speaker 1: I believe it was like sixteen and twenty four. Yes,
Speaker 1: uh nineteen. Cooks actually had Woods at between nineteen and six.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, um, But what was wild was like they
Speaker 1: could all It's cool because they could all run any route.
Speaker 1: Like I know Cups the slot guy, but he's running
Speaker 1: deep routes as well as we saw coming from the slot. Sure,
Speaker 1: but he's running deep routes as well. Brandon Cooks doing
Speaker 1: what he always does, and Robert was doing his thing
Speaker 1: when it was also really amazing, Um about this Rams
Speaker 1: offense last night. Every time there's a big play, but
Speaker 1: they didn't get in the end zone. They gave it
Speaker 1: right back to that guy to have another shot have
Speaker 1: with Robert Woods when he got pounding down the left sideline.
Speaker 1: Next play seem past touchdown, Robert is the bomb, the
Speaker 1: Brandon Books next play wide receiver screen the Randon Cooks.
Speaker 1: I just thought that was so so cool. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: absolutely is, and we're learning now that regardless of volume
Speaker 1: in this offense, they're just so efficient. Even going up
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings defense, which many people expected to
Speaker 1: be a top five defense coming into the year, Robert
Speaker 1: Woods only had five targets in the schame. He caught
Speaker 1: all five for one yards and a touchdown. Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: eleven targets, caught nine of them, Randon Cooks eight targets,
Speaker 1: called seven of them. That's incredible efficiency right now, Greg.
Speaker 1: So they're efficient, they're making big plays down the field,
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, they can line up all three
Speaker 1: of these receivers anywhere that they want to. And I
Speaker 1: think the most impressive part about Sean mcveigh's play calling,
Speaker 1: and I was texting about texting you about this last night,
Speaker 1: is the fact that he knows how to exploit matchup
Speaker 1: problems against defense is better than any coach that I've
Speaker 1: seen in a while. Like he got Cooper Cup lined
Speaker 1: up on a linebacker. What happened a Cooper Cup bomba
Speaker 1: the Robert Woods. They got Robert Woods lined up with
Speaker 1: a linebacker down the field, throw a bomb down the
Speaker 1: field for a touchdown. He just knows how to create
Speaker 1: these mismatches, and now Brandon Cooks is filling in that
Speaker 1: role that Sean McVeigh wanted Sammy Watkins to be last year,
Speaker 1: and he's doing so effortless, effortless lee. So both guys,
Speaker 1: all three guys can, as you mentioned, catch the ball
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, screen passes. They could do
Speaker 1: whatever you're asked of. And I think we're seeing now
Speaker 1: that Brandon Cooks is not just a deep threat wide receiver,
Speaker 1: like he's an all around wide receiver, and we're seeing
Speaker 1: that more so with the Rams offense. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of like the general sports football talk today is
Speaker 1: going to be like, is Jared Coffins a system quarterbacks?
Speaker 1: It's all because of Sean McVeigh. Why can't we just
Speaker 1: appreciate what he's doing right? Yeah, even for fantasy purpose. Well,
Speaker 1: so I think the sports talk is fair, But I
Speaker 1: think we had this conversation last night. It was like,
Speaker 1: at what point do we just said Jared coff is
Speaker 1: good and the one making the throws. Obviously a lot
Speaker 1: of it is Sean McVeigh and like his ridiculous, but
Speaker 1: you still need to make the throws totally totally, and
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, I'm not again, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: where we care. I talked about garbage time yesterday when
Speaker 1: it came to Kyle Rudolph, but I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's Seann favorite Jared Goff. Oh, I know Jared Goff
Speaker 1: is getting the points. He's the quarterback for the best
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL not named Patrick Mahomes. Why would
Speaker 1: you not start Jared Goff right now, right like he
Speaker 1: was available waivers here on Carton and Friends that the
Speaker 1: King started Eli Manning. Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't he
Speaker 1: know he's the King? Well, he should have looked at
Speaker 1: my lineup ranks. Craig bellbo right now on his website,
Speaker 1: The Road Actors dot Com. He's the King to be
Speaker 1: paying attention. But the point is, how do you not
Speaker 1: start the quarterback of the best offense in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I'ntil either just running the ball. Yeah, Todd Gurley has
Speaker 1: been very effective, no doubt, but they're also just going
Speaker 1: down the field and it's not thinking you dugging deep
Speaker 1: crossing patterns. I mean, these offense is amazing. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: again it was against the Vikings, so look, it was
Speaker 1: to see fun. Um, if you're in a hole again,
Speaker 1: call in and let us know. We'll trying to answer
Speaker 1: your line of questions. It's not completely over like obviously,
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of football to play out this week.
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, it was a great start and probably
Speaker 1: the best Thursday night football game ever. I think we
Speaker 1: could say that it was right off there. It was
Speaker 1: really it was the most passing yards by a quarterback
Speaker 1: and a Thursday night football hisit. Hey had combined thousand
Speaker 1: yards last night. That's awesome. Um, first Ramps quarterback just
Speaker 1: throw for that many yards since Mark Boulger in two
Speaker 1: thousand and five. Great stead, Craig, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: On the other side, he goes to the Vikings. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins looked actually very very good for a lot of
Speaker 1: this game, and then I kind of went away. The
Speaker 1: offensive line started failing him and Aaron Donald was getting
Speaker 1: in the backfield. But early on Kirk looked pretty good. Um,
Speaker 1: Adam Field was everywhere once again, clearly the number one
Speaker 1: option for him throughout the night. That's not to say
Speaker 1: Stefand's had a bad game. He didn't. Eleven foree, I
Speaker 1: believe was his final line. So he was fantastic um.
Speaker 1: Aldrick Robinson called two touchdown out of nowhere, but he
Speaker 1: was barely on the field. One of those touchdowns were
Speaker 1: clearly intended for Kyle Rudolph and Algae Robins a rather
Speaker 1: wrong route. Um, But it was better to be lucky
Speaker 1: than good. Indeed, the Vikings often certainly fantasy sustainable last night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good game plan early for
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He made a ton of beautiful touch passes
Speaker 1: right over the defender's fingertips. And you know what, I
Speaker 1: understand that like the m O for Marcus Peters is
Speaker 1: to be like a ball hawking cornerback. But there were
Speaker 1: a few plays where he just clearly undercut the wide
Speaker 1: receiver and was standing in front of them trying to
Speaker 1: pick the ball off, and Kirk Cousins just touch passed
Speaker 1: right over them. We saw that multiple times to get
Speaker 1: down the field, and then it was very clear on
Speaker 1: one of the touchdowns to Aljack Robinson. I believe it
Speaker 1: was the first one. So it was a great game
Speaker 1: plan for the Vikings and anchor Cousins get the ball
Speaker 1: out of his hands early on. I thought the offensive
Speaker 1: line looked better. Um, I agree with you that they
Speaker 1: kind of fell apart as the game went on, but
Speaker 1: probably stopping Donagan, Sue and Aaron Donald like you're only
Speaker 1: going to have success for so long. Um, So I
Speaker 1: think we expected that at some point those guys to
Speaker 1: get THEIRS. I would say certainly did. But even from
Speaker 1: the Vikings perspective, the one letdown was Dalvin Cook. I mean,
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland was phenomenal in this game. I know he
Speaker 1: joined a group of like five or six receivers uh
Speaker 1: to start the first four games of the season with
Speaker 1: one hundred plus yards receiving in every single game. I
Speaker 1: think the last person to do it was Randy Moss.
Speaker 1: So he's obviously doing ridiculous things right now. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Venture who was all over Adam Feeland in the preseason.
Speaker 1: But this was the bounce back performance that we needed
Speaker 1: from Stefon Diggs to inspire confidence in him again. He
Speaker 1: actually out targeted Adam Feeland, he out receptioned I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a word, but it was made it a
Speaker 1: thing Adam feeling. And he still had a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty three yards you want to touch down there. But
Speaker 1: it was a great bounce back game for Stefon Diggs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was hugely wed. We kind of talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday that we expected that to happen, and it did,
Speaker 1: and we thought Marcus Peters wasn't going to play. In
Speaker 1: fact that both of those guys still did that with
Speaker 1: Mark Peters in the lineup, that inspires confidence moving forward
Speaker 1: at five seven in the first half was did not
Speaker 1: have a single reception the second half of any because
Speaker 1: he had those eight points and a half point br
Speaker 1: Um in the first half, You're like, all right, now
Speaker 1: you get a few more points in the second half.
Speaker 1: Is a really nice game. Ultimately didn't happen. I still
Speaker 1: have confidence, obviously in Kyle Rudolph Um. You know what
Speaker 1: you're getting in the in the Viking's office and then
Speaker 1: and it's not all that dissimilar in Denver, where it's
Speaker 1: like Sanders and Thomas and everybody else. It's digs and
Speaker 1: feeling and everybody else. Not Kyle rude Up is a
Speaker 1: strong everybody else. But I like that this is one
Speaker 1: of these offenses we can week out you know what
Speaker 1: you're getting. Yeah, and we said that about kyro Rouff
Speaker 1: yesterday to save floor five receptions for fifty seven in
Speaker 1: a PPRU standard, you probably want a little bit more. Again,
Speaker 1: in standard leagues, if you don't score a touchdown, you're
Speaker 1: likely not going to be a tight end one for
Speaker 1: that week. But still to get fifty points out of
Speaker 1: your tight end without a touchdown, it's still pretty solid
Speaker 1: in standards. So yeah, I agree with you, Dalbin Cook.
Speaker 1: Let's get to him. He was the one let down
Speaker 1: from last night. Ultimately, he was all over the field
Speaker 1: in the first half. But he actually looked pretty good,
Speaker 1: Like I thought, he looked really good running the football
Speaker 1: and then just crazy because he only average two yards
Speaker 1: of character. Then he looked good. He did. He looked
Speaker 1: a little bit more spry, Like there were there were
Speaker 1: places where he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: and that's not his fault, that's just that's the offensive line,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously pies some sort like there were a
Speaker 1: few runs were like he had like a few like six, seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: ten yard runs, but those were kind of like mitigated
Speaker 1: by the fact that there were a few times where
Speaker 1: he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. He looks spry.
Speaker 1: We didn't see him in the second half, like, so
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna getting too. As this became
Speaker 1: an aerial attack on both teams. It was weird. That
Speaker 1: was like, wait, where's Dalvin Cook? They cycled through four
Speaker 1: running backs and Dalvin Cooke was not part of that
Speaker 1: cycle in in the second half. He definitely got concerned
Speaker 1: that he reaggravated an injury. Before the game, they had
Speaker 1: told you Dalvin Cook because be got a pitch count. Normally,
Speaker 1: when we hear that from coaches, it's all BS. Evidently
Speaker 1: it wasn't BS last night. Was on the sideline. He
Speaker 1: looked fine um, but did not play in the second
Speaker 1: half because he was on with his pitch count. Is
Speaker 1: not a bad job by Mike. Mike's ever using that
Speaker 1: pitch count up in the first half and not being
Speaker 1: able to even have available in the second half. I
Speaker 1: think it was just game plan in the second half.
Speaker 1: I don't know that they wanted to run the ball
Speaker 1: all that much because if you look at Lesavias Murray,
Speaker 1: he didn't get many rushing attempts either, had two rushes
Speaker 1: for two yards. I mean, overall, their running backs combined
Speaker 1: for thirteen carries in this game. They seemingly didn't run
Speaker 1: the ball at all in the second half. I think
Speaker 1: that they knew coming out that they just really needed
Speaker 1: to throw, and especially once the Rams kind of went
Speaker 1: up big, Vikings had to come back and try and
Speaker 1: match them point for a point, So there was just
Speaker 1: a lot of passing in the second half. I don't
Speaker 1: think that they needed to run the ball, honestly, if
Speaker 1: they were going If I'm guessing that this wasn't the
Speaker 1: plan coming in to have to throw the ball this much,
Speaker 1: because if that was the plan, they should have just
Speaker 1: gave Dalvin Cook the night off. They should They could
Speaker 1: have given him another week to rest, and essentially, like
Speaker 1: you said yesterday, it would have been like a three
Speaker 1: week stretch for him to get right, and ultimately that
Speaker 1: would have saved us selfishly, that would have saved us
Speaker 1: fantasy owners, who once Dalvin Cook is active, you pretty
Speaker 1: much need to start him. So we kind of got
Speaker 1: burned just because he was active. So it kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, worked out wrong for both fantasy owners and
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I think they should have just gave him
Speaker 1: the night off if this was their game plan to
Speaker 1: pass them all this month. I tend to agree. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we've turned the page on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football and we move on into the weekend. Week four

Speaker 1: He's the best. He's the best. Yes, alright A four

Speaker 1: I talked to him and he said, listen, I forgive Bob.

Speaker 1: How does that sounded? I like the Atlanta falcon stack.
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of points scored
Speaker 1: in that game. Um, I have met Ryan ranked as
Speaker 1: a top three quarterback this week might be a little
Speaker 1: bit too reactionary, but yeah, a lot of points expecting
Speaker 1: that Bengals Ryan um Falcons game. You have Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: you have Ridley, you have Hooper. The one thing that
Speaker 1: really stood out to me that I didn't really like
Speaker 1: was DeShawn Jackson for Tampa Bay. But since you're playing
Speaker 1: in the tournament, you need to try and be a
Speaker 1: little bit different. I don't think a lot of people
Speaker 1: are gonna own him. So if that's your logic, I'm
Speaker 1: all right with the bob. Yeah, all right, there you
Speaker 1: go for four, four, three, six, seven nine. Let's continue
Speaker 1: all with Chris and Dallas. That's Chris. Hey, guys, how
Speaker 1: are you all today? Doing great? Man? Um? All right?
Speaker 1: So UM ten team full PPR I need to flex.
Speaker 1: My options are Tyler boy Kenyan Drake, and j H
Speaker 1: r E. And I'm also starting Giovanni Bernard and Melvin Gordon.
Speaker 1: So in PPR UM I think Tyler Boyd is a
Speaker 1: little bit safer than Kenyan Drake this week easy, especially
Speaker 1: in that match up against the falconsa big total. They're
Speaker 1: fifty one points. Um, so yeah, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, no question about it. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: worth a discussion. Tyler Boyd the easy answer here for
Speaker 1: this one. Let me hit up Julian in Miami. What's up, Julian? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Guys? How's everything? It's great, man, what's up? Okay? So,
Speaker 1: if you guys know Keenan Atllen has missed practiced twice.
Speaker 1: When I have Mike Williams and I need to start
Speaker 1: two people in the PPR, I have crap cheek Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: seven Coleman and Drake from those four for the two,
Speaker 1: I start UM. All right, So Tevin Coleman is definitely
Speaker 1: a lot assuming back Freeman doesn't play Um for all
Speaker 1: the reasons that we keep mentioning between that Bengals and
Speaker 1: Falcons game. Plus, he's going to be the workhorse there.
Speaker 1: I will say, if I think we all assume Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen is going to play, you want to see what
Speaker 1: happens in practice today if he doesn't. If Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: doesn't play, I would use Mike Williams. If Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: does play, I would use Michael Crabtree. I actually completely
Speaker 1: agree with that Frankie two two agreements. Yeah, that on
Speaker 1: the same page. Look at that doesn't happen often. I agree, Um,
Speaker 1: could you start Corey Clement this week? I wouldn't want to.
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles backfield's kind of a mess right now.
Speaker 1: I know the information came out yesterday with JGI having
Speaker 1: a fracture, some kind of small fracture in his back.
Speaker 1: Today Peterson came out and said, quote, he's good to go.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what that means, but I have
Speaker 1: a feeling we have the classic Doug Peterson three headed
Speaker 1: running back by committee, fourheaded running back by committee. You
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen, um, So I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be like a g I e for tended
Speaker 1: twelve touches, Corey Clement sprinkled in, Darren Sprowls on passing
Speaker 1: downs if they're playing the hurry up, and then Wendell
Speaker 1: small Wood probably going to vulture touchdown. So we're just
Speaker 1: right back where we started with the Doug Peterson Eagles
Speaker 1: running backs, which is exactly why I told people to
Speaker 1: not draft j JI this year. Why I didn't draft
Speaker 1: a minute. Yeah, listen, I I did. I like the
Speaker 1: GI I thought he pulled away. I didn't think the
Speaker 1: injury would would hop up, and I was wrong. We
Speaker 1: we've we both did stupid things this draft season. Greg,
Speaker 1: you were in on a GI even though we had
Speaker 1: all the signs that trends, everything telling us, look, Doug Peterson,
Speaker 1: just don't think too much about this. Doug Peterson employs
Speaker 1: multiple running backs here and then with myself, I drank
Speaker 1: the Michael Florio kool aid, and I got in on
Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper, whereas everything told us Marie Cooper very
Speaker 1: inconsistent for fantasy, not really good. So I made a mistake.
Speaker 1: You made a mistake. What else isn't it? What else
Speaker 1: is new? Is that's rare that That's what's new. Is
Speaker 1: rare that we make those mistakes exactly. It's the rare part. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, heartily appreciate it. That's gonna Nathan
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. It's up, Nathan, Good morning, guys. How
Speaker 1: you doing a great man? What's up? So? I got
Speaker 1: two things, like um, I got two fantasy teams, but
Speaker 1: on one of them, I try I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who should I start this week? Russell Wilson or
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick fitz Patrick, the Magic Man is in Chicago, and
Speaker 1: then Russell Wilson is in Arizona this week. I like
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson pretty easily like Russ. I had them close
Speaker 1: in my rankings yesterday before I made the adjustment, but
Speaker 1: I mentioned this seems like the classic spot for Ryan
Speaker 1: fitz Fitzpatrick's to go on the road inst the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: The offensive line did not good look very good on
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Steelers, just trying to hold up
Speaker 1: against that pass rush. So there's a chance that Khalil
Speaker 1: Mack and that Bears defensive lines is absolutely going to
Speaker 1: bog down on Ryan I Fitzpatrick, and as a result,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have multiple turnovers in this game.
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson is safer. I don't know that
Speaker 1: he has the most upside, but I think he's safer.
Speaker 1: I would use Ross Wilson. What's your other question, man?
Speaker 1: And then uh, yeah, my question? Shall I start James
Speaker 1: Corner a good option for this week? Or carry on
Speaker 1: Johnson James Connor? Carry on Johnson, Frankie, Yeah, I'm using
Speaker 1: James Connor. He's uh. I think my sixth ranked running
Speaker 1: back coming into this I meant this week. Uh No,
Speaker 1: I actually have them seven. But I think people are
Speaker 1: sipping the carry On Johnson, uh coolate a little bit
Speaker 1: too much. I think we're getting a little bit prematurely
Speaker 1: excited about carry On Johnson here. I know he broke
Speaker 1: the streak of non yard rushing games for the Detroit Lions,
Speaker 1: but he still only played of the snaps, so he
Speaker 1: has two other running backs to contend with. Um, I
Speaker 1: know that the Cowboys defense is going to be without
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee. I think carry On Johnson is more of
Speaker 1: like a low n RB two flex running back, whereas
Speaker 1: James Conner is still a topson running back for me. Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with the whole to the I like carry
Speaker 1: a Dnson. I think he's arrows absolutely trending up. James
Speaker 1: Connor ultimately a better player right now. So I'm with you, Frank, Um,
Speaker 1: I would prefer James conn I would preserve James Conner,
Speaker 1: who still is a borderlines me top ten running back
Speaker 1: here this week eight four or four eight four, three, six,
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. We got on Twitter and answer so
Speaker 1: tweets there. It's at Greg Sauceman at Rhodo Underscore. Frank well,
Speaker 1: obviously always open to answer your question. Um, well this
Speaker 1: is crazy getting oh b J for carry on and
Speaker 1: one of my wide receivers. Do I take that it
Speaker 1: looks somewhere else? I mean you like screenshot all of
Speaker 1: his wife receivers to moving on, who would you start
Speaker 1: this week? Who just started this week? If he plays
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown or Keenan Allen. Definitely Antonio Brown. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: still think Keenan Allen is going to get his eventually. Um,
Speaker 1: the targets are still there for him. Um, he's been
Speaker 1: a little bit underwhelming. He had a very good week one,
Speaker 1: then has kind of trended down the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that might be attributed to this knee injury,
Speaker 1: if it's a little bit more serious than they're leading on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would still use Antonio Brown. Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: still a low end wide receiver one this week, regardless
Speaker 1: of format, assuming he plays. Lance asks you, Frankie, who
Speaker 1: you got Carrie on Johnson or your boys Sonny Michelle
Speaker 1: N very close in standard? Yeah, that's exactly what I
Speaker 1: have up here to I have Sony Michelle RB twenty
Speaker 1: this week, Harryon Johnson RB twenty two, so it is
Speaker 1: very close, but I'll go with Sony Michelle um just
Speaker 1: based on the increase of snaps that are coming. Plus,
Speaker 1: I thought this was a really interesting stat on Sony Michelle.
Speaker 1: When he's been on the field this season, he has
Speaker 1: an eighty point five six touch percentage GREG so basically,
Speaker 1: whenever he's on the field, they're using him. Obviously, that's
Speaker 1: gonna go down a little bit now because he's going
Speaker 1: to play more than he was before and he's not
Speaker 1: going to be you know, called on every single time
Speaker 1: but he's on the field. But I will take Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle in a game where the Patriots are favored by
Speaker 1: seven points, I think they're gonna be playing with the lead.
Speaker 1: I think there's some point scored in this one. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised with Tony Michelle scores his first touch time.
Speaker 1: I also like Sonny Michelle in the standard rather than
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson, if you still has to worry about
Speaker 1: the ridic in the passing downs literally blunts still there
Speaker 1: potentially on the goal line, Sonny Michelle is going to
Speaker 1: get really every carry outside of the full PPR stuff.
Speaker 1: So I like Sonny Michelle in standard over carry on Johnson.
Speaker 1: A lot of questions I've seen Frank or regards to
Speaker 1: Doug Baldin, and I'm assuming I don't know this. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be questionable today. The question is do you play
Speaker 1: him this weekend? Your answer is no, nope, even if
Speaker 1: he plays again. We spoke about this yesterday with Dr A.
Speaker 1: He still thinks that week five is the optimal recovery
Speaker 1: time for Doug Baldin to return. I know that they've
Speaker 1: said that Doug Baldwin is quote chomping at the bit
Speaker 1: to return, but again with an injury like this, Dr
Speaker 1: A went over it. He returned too soon to play
Speaker 1: in week one, and he honestly thought that if he
Speaker 1: returned in week two he wouldn't have been better. And
Speaker 1: for the long term, I think we see a similar
Speaker 1: situation here where if Doug Baldin returns in week four,
Speaker 1: he's just kind of rushing himself back and putting himself
Speaker 1: out there for higher re injury risks. So I don't
Speaker 1: think you would see the full compliment of snaps either.
Speaker 1: I don't know how effective he's going to be in
Speaker 1: his first game back. Me personally, if he plays, I
Speaker 1: still don't want to start him, he would be ranked,
Speaker 1: you know, outside my top forty eight. I would take
Speaker 1: a shot on either one of the Packers wide receivers. Instead,
Speaker 1: I would take a shot on Court Davis going up
Speaker 1: against the Eagles secondary, where if there is a place
Speaker 1: to target the Eagles defense, it is against their secondary
Speaker 1: healing Cole Quincy and Noon Wall. I would start all
Speaker 1: those guys over Doug Walton. We mentioned Tyler Boyd earlier
Speaker 1: in the program, however, well, no question starting him over
Speaker 1: some of the other options like Kenyan Drake, J J I.
Speaker 1: A J. Green taken off the injury report today, which
Speaker 1: means he will be a hundred percent active and ready
Speaker 1: to go this weekend. Also taken off the injury reports,
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernardi. Not that we thought there's anything to really
Speaker 1: worry about. Their all of little Gel and A J.
Speaker 1: Green off the injury report for this Sunday. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think all along we expected A. J. Green to play.
Speaker 1: We correctly predicted Dr A's analysis. That was amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because look, I I still do agree with that. Like
Speaker 1: A J. Green with a groin injury, these are extremely tricky.
Speaker 1: You've heard um, you know, past NFL athletes even talk
Speaker 1: about this. The groin injury is one of the trickiest
Speaker 1: ones because you know, you need to be able to
Speaker 1: stop on a dime. When you're running ribs, you gotta
Speaker 1: be able to jump. I didn't he get given moment
Speaker 1: for a contested ball. So it's just a very tricky
Speaker 1: injury and very very open to re injury once he
Speaker 1: starts playing. So I know Adian game wants to play
Speaker 1: in this game. Obviously, if you own him, you have
Speaker 1: to start him. But I am a little bit nervous
Speaker 1: about him, you know, finishing that game. Uh. Gio Bernard, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think all along we expected him to play.
Speaker 1: He's the top seven running back for me this week,
Speaker 1: regardless of format. Uh. As usual, the Falcons just cannot
Speaker 1: stop pass catching running backs. The same thing will be
Speaker 1: said for Gio Bernard. I think it's interesting right here,
Speaker 1: just pulled up Rotal World Greg and something on Randall Cobb,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy saying, quote, we'll see with Randall Cobb and
Speaker 1: his hamstring heading into week four. So if he doesn't go,
Speaker 1: I think Geronimo Allison instantly boost up to like a
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver. Three In that match against the Bills,
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think Geronimo Allison absolutely in
Speaker 1: that scenario, could prop up. They all think the Packers
Speaker 1: could blow out the Bills at Roger getting a little
Speaker 1: see it healthier there. I don't see it either, But
Speaker 1: if they do, and they always say this, they ask
Speaker 1: four points before it happens, Janoo Allison obviously a touchdown
Speaker 1: upside guy, Um, we'll see what happens. Yeah, And I know,
Speaker 1: you know some people are going to try and point
Speaker 1: to the Packers running backs this week, like, oh, you
Speaker 1: know they're favored by so many points and I mean
Speaker 1: playing with a second half lead. That's that's what we
Speaker 1: said about Latavius Murray and the Vikings last week when
Speaker 1: they were going up against the Buffalo Bills. Remember, this
Speaker 1: is still a complete mess with the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: We know that Aaron Jones had the most carriers last week,
Speaker 1: he had the most rushing yards last week, he played
Speaker 1: the fewest amount of snaps. This is going to continue
Speaker 1: to be a frustrating situation unless someone hurt gets hurt
Speaker 1: or someone emerges. Uh. In terms of usage the way
Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy is using them right now, I think ultimately,
Speaker 1: if you own all three of them, or or or
Speaker 1: if you own Jamal Williams and Aaron Jones, you still
Speaker 1: kind of want to get away from them this week,
Speaker 1: even though they're going up against the Buffalo Bills. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go, eight four four eight four three
Speaker 1: six s Sevenine, we take the break in a few moments,
Speaker 1: and then, if course get back to your calls on
Speaker 1: the phone lines. Let me go back to our YouTube comments.
Speaker 1: By the way, Fantasy Basketball League is coming back. Jim
Speaker 1: Ross asked, Hm, I quit. I did not quit, for
Speaker 1: the record. I am still in the league, but I
Speaker 1: have a partner. Do you have a partner? I did
Speaker 1: I have a partner this league this year? Is it Judy?
Speaker 1: She's like your life partner? Now, Judy wants to do it,
Speaker 1: but I think you want to do fantasy football, not
Speaker 1: so much fantasy basketball fantasy football. So so who's your partner? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know what, I thought, I only wanted my partner
Speaker 1: to be like one of my best friends. So you
Speaker 1: took my Florio. I thought about Floria, and there was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Floria was pretty terrible at fantasy basketball.
Speaker 1: So I didn't want to go with one of my
Speaker 1: best friends that Rhet screwed me out of is Smith
Speaker 1: last year. That was me, but oh that was you.
Speaker 1: But he got him, he did, but I needed my
Speaker 1: my best friend forever me. I'm partnering with Frank this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Frank freak the take part. Honestly, the only reason that
Speaker 1: we're partnering up is because Adam Rowna is the Dictator
Speaker 1: commissioner that he is increased the leak fee to one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for no reason, without asking anybody he's in.
Speaker 1: He's increased the leak fee two hundred dollars. And I'm like, look,
Speaker 1: if it's a hundred bucks, Greg and I will share
Speaker 1: a team. If it's fifty bucks, will take a team each. So,
Speaker 1: Jim Ross, I hope you've been saving up money. I
Speaker 1: hope you've been laying back on the Natty lights because
Speaker 1: it's one dollars for the Adam on his fantasy basketball
Speaker 1: lead me. I was ready like, let me just the
Speaker 1: pay ronis and then I ran, oh my god, he
Speaker 1: believes he believes hundred and like you want to just split?
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, all right, nice, you're gonna do a
Speaker 1: huntre by yourself? Yeah? Actually, whatever, Well we know Greg
Speaker 1: came rich. He's old retirement money. I came within a
Speaker 1: block of winning winning it all last year. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna push you over the edge. You're gonna push
Speaker 1: me over there. I get you that block. Your call's

Speaker 1: They bought in the chat during the break assets before
Speaker 1: you take calls, tell us the amazing story of how
Speaker 1: you two became best friends forever, and I answered, long
Speaker 1: story short. My Coridonald told us we had to be better.
Speaker 1: That's not that's false. Fantasy Factor is the only DFS

Speaker 1: When you get a Fantasy Factor dot com, that's Fantasy
Speaker 1: Fathtor dot com. The story began back several years ago
Speaker 1: where I was hosting a serious sex in program named
Speaker 1: The Road to Experts in the Morning, and we had
Speaker 1: a young video producer had a bad haircutting a bad beard.
Speaker 1: He had a rattail. It's gotten a little worse. He
Speaker 1: had a rat tail and it was disgusting in life. Man,
Speaker 1: you need to cut that. And he said, who is this? Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Greg and he got high. I'm Frank on the intern.
Speaker 1: You fast forwards. So many months later, there's a company
Speaker 1: party at the forty forty Club Times and you know,
Speaker 1: I was a young lad at this company phill of
Speaker 1: old people and there are two people that were young
Speaker 1: that I was like, I want to be friends, No,
Speaker 1: I want to be best friends with them, and it
Speaker 1: was Frank Staffel and it was Mike Florio and they
Speaker 1: hung out and they got very drunk, and like, these
Speaker 1: guys are getting very drunk at this company party. So
Speaker 1: I left and I signed on full time with the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network, followed by several months later Frank Staffel
Speaker 1: and my Floria coming on full time. And from there
Speaker 1: we were the only ones that were here every single day,
Speaker 1: for many hours every day. And that natural chemistry. Let's
Speaker 1: Mike r down on a saying, you know what, this
Speaker 1: chemistry should be on the air together. This should not
Speaker 1: just be an off air conversation, it should be an
Speaker 1: on air conversation. And there began the latest and greatest
Speaker 1: incarnation of the Fantasy best Friends Forever. I feel like
Speaker 1: we should hug it out. Okay, should hug it out.
Speaker 1: Somebody talk play some love music. That's too late for
Speaker 1: those listening the radio. We just we just hugged it
Speaker 1: out and hugged it out, hugged it out. We had
Speaker 1: to do it. I had to do it. That was
Speaker 1: the story with the Fantasy bfs A four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six seven nine four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: Let's send out to Mitch in Wisconsin. What's going on, Mitch? Hey,
Speaker 1: how you guys are doing doing? Awesome? Dude? What's up? Awesome?
Speaker 1: I have a really tough question. Um, I got McCaffrey
Speaker 1: on a bye, and my bench is thin. I have
Speaker 1: Lagarren Blunt, I have Austin Ekeler and Cavan Austin because
Speaker 1: he actually considers a running back wide receiver, so I
Speaker 1: don't know who to put in, and the waiber wire
Speaker 1: is really thin. Melvin Gordon already started, so yeah, regardless
Speaker 1: of format I'm gonna use Austin Ekeler here. Just I
Speaker 1: know Legarrett Blunt had the the sixteen carries last week,
Speaker 1: but I can't bank on that weekend and week out again.
Speaker 1: The Lion's running back situation is extremely frustrating. I know
Speaker 1: you mentioned there that you have Melvin Gordon already in
Speaker 1: your starting lineup, but there's actually a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: in my home league who starts both Melvin Gordon and
Speaker 1: Austin Ekela right now because he's waiting for marking him
Speaker 1: to return. He's actually two and one, so it's not
Speaker 1: impossible great to employ that. Um, and plus with the
Speaker 1: limited touches, he's looked very, very good on like a
Speaker 1: yard per touch basis. So I'll use Austin Ekeler. There
Speaker 1: you go. I also go with Austin neck watched that
Speaker 1: it was easier um than he made it up to me.
Speaker 1: So there we go. Um. I want to give you
Speaker 1: this quote and I saw I saw it, and then
Speaker 1: this morning or last night, Cole Beasley, did you read this? No,
Speaker 1: Cob Beasley said some kind of wrap line from him
Speaker 1: in regard to the Cowboys passing game quote, We're just
Speaker 1: getting open. That's all we can do. If you watched
Speaker 1: the tape, that's all you gotta do. Oh man, Wow,
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to hold some open tryout for the
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Maybe we get the fantasy executive throwing some
Speaker 1: bullets down there in the big DS. This could be
Speaker 1: a bit of a dumpster fire year for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: We'll say they're now throwing Dak Prescott under the bus there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not great. I don't I don't remember them ever
Speaker 1: saying something stuff like that about Tony Romo. Never. Never,
Speaker 1: that's about quarter back. A four or four, A four,
Speaker 1: three six seven. It's gonna fill in the Bronx. It's
Speaker 1: up Phil Philip what's going on, Bud? That's up man?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Yeah? What's up man? Sorry about that?
Speaker 1: Sorry about that? So listen, uh trade. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get big Ben. I'm more Offred Eckler and Alison and
Speaker 1: he's not really gold for it. I got Adeleman, he's
Speaker 1: pushing on for that. I don't want to get rid
Speaker 1: of Adelman. What do you think about Alison and declas
Speaker 1: running back for a week? Who's your quarterback? My quarterback?
Speaker 1: I got Tannehill Now I just dropped for Bordles golf.
Speaker 1: So it's playing the way so basically playing the waiver
Speaker 1: wire for your quarterback week after week. To me, I
Speaker 1: don't give up talent for quarterback. I'm not giving up
Speaker 1: a running back and wide receiver for Big Ben. Like
Speaker 1: to me, you'll you'll you'll find somebody a Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: whoever on the waiver wire and and probably make it work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially with the bye week's coming up soon, Greg, You're
Speaker 1: you're gonna need all the depth that you possibly can.
Speaker 1: I mean, players dropping like flies weekend and week out.
Speaker 1: So I'm with Greg's. Typically I like to stick with
Speaker 1: the running back and wide receiver depth more so than
Speaker 1: trade them away for a quarterback. I think you're fine
Speaker 1: with the Hill, at least for this week. He's like
Speaker 1: a borderline QB one this year, So especially with this matchup,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ride the hot hand. If eventually you
Speaker 1: get the right trade offer where you don't have to
Speaker 1: give up much, fine, but I'm not giving up two
Speaker 1: pieces for big Bend. Yeah, of course doesn't seem worth it.
Speaker 1: Eight four four, eight four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: Let's go to David in Texas. What's up, David? Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going? Guys? Um? I have a quick question
Speaker 1: for you. At my Flix. I have Lamar Miller, I
Speaker 1: have Brown from the Ravens. I also have Ridley or
Speaker 1: Callaway from Cleveland. I could put in and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure which will go with you need one one starter
Speaker 1: out of those guys. What format is this? Yea, that's
Speaker 1: a full point PPR lea full point VBR Lamar Miller,
Speaker 1: who sucks John Brown, Calvin Ridley, Austin Ekeler or Antonio Callaway?
Speaker 1: What do you think in here? Frank? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: John Brown is the safest in the full point PPR,
Speaker 1: just based on his target share in the way that
Speaker 1: he's being used and he has a great match up
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steeler. I know he popped up on
Speaker 1: the injury report, so I would pay attention to that.
Speaker 1: But if John Brown is good to go on Sunday,
Speaker 1: I'm using John Brown. If he's even like limited or
Speaker 1: if we get news about that, I would use Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Miller is kind of on the backburn
Speaker 1: here because it's PPR. He doesn't catch a lot of passes,
Speaker 1: So it's John Brown for me. If there's any news
Speaker 1: about him like not being I would use Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 1: There you go, eight four or four eight four or
Speaker 1: three six st seven nine. I agree with you, Frankie.
Speaker 1: To me, the answer is John Brown. I feel safe
Speaker 1: as with him in the PPR. The target share has
Speaker 1: been there and it looks in the red zone, which
Speaker 1: is cool. Yeah. And as I mentioned, they're using him
Speaker 1: all over the field. They're using him in the red zone,
Speaker 1: they're using him down the field as that deep threat option,
Speaker 1: and his targets are pretty much right on par with
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree. We've consistently said Michael Crabtree is one A,
Speaker 1: John Brown is one B. Randall con doesn't play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would help Geronimo Allison owners an awful lot would
Speaker 1: suck for me a little bit in the league where
Speaker 1: I dropped Geronimo Allison last week, but again I did
Speaker 1: so to pick up Sony Michelle, So I don't regret
Speaker 1: it yet, but I potentially could. Josh asked, so are
Speaker 1: YouTube Chad, you're starting Corey Davis, Kenny Stills or Aaron
Speaker 1: Joe PPR. Again, I'm gonna fade Aaron Jones here regardless
Speaker 1: of format. Um, I think it's close. I'll use Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: I think the targets will be there a little bit
Speaker 1: more so this week. I know that it's kind of
Speaker 1: been a mess of a situation for the Dolphins wide receivers.
Speaker 1: They're all playing a lot of snaps, they're all kind
Speaker 1: of distributing targets equally. But against the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins are gonna be playing from behind
Speaker 1: in this game. Plus the Patriots secondary has given up
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays, and that's exactly where Kenny
Speaker 1: Stills excelled. By the way, I was taking a few
Speaker 1: more questions of course on YouTube and the chat on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and all the phones were just a few minutes away
Speaker 1: from our picks of the week. Freak and I both
Speaker 1: had a good week last week. We'll getting all your
Speaker 1: gambling stuff five and overall last week, I mean, how
Speaker 1: did you do? Insurer? Well? I didn't, did I well?
Speaker 1: I mean people want to hear that we're doing well, Greg,
Speaker 1: you know, if they want to take our picks, you know,
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna take well, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: win five last week, you should take my picks this week. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like being honest with the people, like
Speaker 1: I'm telling them I went, I went oh in three
Speaker 1: in my picks and week two I'll tell you that
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna win every single week. I think I
Speaker 1: went I went two for three, and week one I
Speaker 1: went oh in three, and week two I went five
Speaker 1: for five last week, So there you go. And I
Speaker 1: actually tweeted out all five picks. So if you would
Speaker 1: have parleyed that you're rich Man, never parla all individual bets.
Speaker 1: Yeah you are. You and Kingda going to the sports
Speaker 1: booth this weekend. Now we don't have any time because
Speaker 1: as you saw today, I didn't come with my laptop.
Speaker 1: I'm going straight too. In October Fest ten, after this,
Speaker 1: Munich on the East River should be great. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun. There's a live band there. Um. They only
Speaker 1: have two types of beers, light or dark, of course,
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be fun. So I normally go on Fridays,
Speaker 1: but I can't go tonight tickets for that, Yes you do. Sorry, Gregor,
Speaker 1: I should have invited you. I'm a bad friend. Look,
Speaker 1: you're a bad friend. I'm a bad friend. That's what
Speaker 1: keeps us to You don't invite me to your house.
Speaker 1: You don't give me foot locker hook ups. I don't
Speaker 1: invite you to October Fest. I guess it goes both ways.
Speaker 1: To be fair, I didn't even invite like my friends,
Speaker 1: like outside of work. He didn't eat an invite Bip
Speaker 1: is coming. Oh kind of invited him because Kinga hung
Speaker 1: our October fist on the fridge. It was like, oh, snap,
Speaker 1: you go to October Fest. I want to go. We're
Speaker 1: like all right, I mean, look, we're not gonna say
Speaker 1: you can't go. No, but to to the public. So
Speaker 1: whoever wants to go. Rob wanted to go. He didn't
Speaker 1: order his tickt in time. Now it sold out, so
Speaker 1: Robin bit Both both didn't like Robin. I didn't send
Speaker 1: him like a Facebook invite, like, hey, come to October
Speaker 1: fiest amazing invited Robin not man. Yeah you know what.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even invited to your birthday last year? Did
Speaker 1: I send those invites that? I wonder if I'll be
Speaker 1: invited to the wedding? Same? Yeah, sure if Judy is
Speaker 1: in charges, No way I'm going. She didn't invite me
Speaker 1: to your birthday. She invited your freaking friends from your
Speaker 1: Israel trip ten years ago, but she didn't invite me.
Speaker 1: That's a false to day. Now we're just lying. I
Speaker 1: don't we can't do that. I'm sorry. All right, it's
Speaker 1: like a couple more calls. We'll sign off YouTube and
Speaker 1: we will rock m Hey yo, Eric in Florida, you
Speaker 1: are up next Fantasy Best Friends for Ever. Good afternoon, guys,
Speaker 1: doing do well? Do well? What's up? David Johnson or
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard? That's great question? David Johnson or Gianni Bernard.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon ruled out David Johnson against the Seahawks, gio
Speaker 1: bernarda against Atlanta. Have Giovanni ranked higher than David Johnson
Speaker 1: in all three formats? Giovanni Bernard at number seven, David
Speaker 1: Johnson number twelve. Again, just the Falcons what they allow
Speaker 1: to running backs in the past game receptions, allowing the
Speaker 1: most receptions, allowing the most targets, allowing the fourth most
Speaker 1: fantasy points overall to running backs. Do Muran is gonna
Speaker 1: have a monster week? Plus that offense is just way
Speaker 1: better right now, the Bengals offense than the Cardinals, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of points scored according to Vegas.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Gi over Giovanni Bernard, Greg, I'm taking
Speaker 1: David Johnson. I'm giving one. I'll give it him one
Speaker 1: shot with Josh Rosen, Josh Rosen starting quarterback, and you'll
Speaker 1: dump it off with David Johnson. Remember it was either
Speaker 1: a week one or week two. I said, use James
Speaker 1: Connor over David Johnson. You didn't believe me, and that
Speaker 1: person used David Johnson over James counter they got burned.
Speaker 1: Use Jovanni Bernard over David Johnson. This week, I'm saying DJ.
Speaker 1: I'm saying DJ. One last call before we sign off
Speaker 1: of YouTube, and that is Josh in Colorado. What's up, Josh? So,
Speaker 1: how you guys doing this morning? We're doing great? Man?
Speaker 1: What's up. That's great already. UM two part question here, Um,
Speaker 1: let's he here. I have two of the our pickures
Speaker 1: that I used, like me and Gallas Carter and uh
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. But I want to pick up Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a good idea for either one
Speaker 1: to those guys. I'm thinking Brandon Marshall. I'm pay dropping
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall for um, Aaron Jones if you want to
Speaker 1: try and just take a stab at the running back.
Speaker 1: I know that I've kind of pooh pooed the Packers
Speaker 1: running back situation throughout the show today. I still do
Speaker 1: think that he has upside if they ever decide that
Speaker 1: and realize in my opinion that he's the most talented
Speaker 1: running back on the roster. If they do that and
Speaker 1: he starts getting like fifteen touches per game, then he
Speaker 1: will be a high in flex um in that discussion.
Speaker 1: So I'm alright dropping Brandon Marshall. I want to hold
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard just based on the tight end landscape and
Speaker 1: what he did last week. I think he has a
Speaker 1: little bit of upset would drive Brandon Marshall. Let's just
Speaker 1: no upside there whatsoever, especially with Doug Baldwin waste on
Speaker 1: waste eleven dollars alrighty cool, And then in my second part,
Speaker 1: I would say, um, let's see here, I have opening
Speaker 1: for my plex. I have to take in in but
Speaker 1: kind of like a boom of us kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So I want to either start to talk about Ralliams
Speaker 1: or Christian Kart on the Cairo because so we got
Speaker 1: or keep taking it well. So the Keenan alle things
Speaker 1: right is interesting. If he doesn't play, I'll start tyroll
Speaker 1: Williams and I have no problem with that if he does.
Speaker 1: If he Kenan and does play, I'll probably leave Ted
Speaker 1: to get in. It's against the Giants without Eli Apple.
Speaker 1: You take a shot to me if it's PPR, is
Speaker 1: a PPR or Standard Standard and Standard, I'm with Greg.
Speaker 1: I would use Ted game. I just think he has
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to score a touchdown. But if it
Speaker 1: was PPR, I would use Christian Kirk. If Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: is out, I would use Christian Kirk regardless of about it.
Speaker 1: With that, we signed off YouTube for the week. Coming
Speaker 1: up next Corey Parson, Jim Day and of course Chris
Speaker 1: Venture The Closer The Fantasy football frenzy that comes your
Speaker 1: way next. If you're listening on the radio, order the podcast.
Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere for the next five minutes. Ago
Speaker 1: you have all of our gambling picks coming up right
Speaker 1: now from the expert. For example, here was some music
Speaker 1: with Vona, and hopefully it's better than last week's Jeopardy music.
Speaker 1: Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding dinging. Greg,
Speaker 1: what's your picks? No, no, no, wait wait wait, why
Speaker 1: am I because you made me go first last week?
Speaker 1: To go first? I know I did last week by
Speaker 1: the way of our three official picks. So now you
Speaker 1: went at five and o in the week he went
Speaker 1: two and one year official picks. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Actually I got saved. I got saved when I went
Speaker 1: into Jersey. The Draft Kings sports book had the Chargers
Speaker 1: at plus seven. I didn't have the hook anymore. So
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: He went back to Jeffard Day, you s O big,
Speaker 1: unbelievable Movona. Piss off, Greggy, piss off, Greggy. All right, Greggy,
Speaker 1: the picks I'm going with mine. J E T S Jets, Jets, Jets.
Speaker 1: Something just doesn't add up here when they have the
Speaker 1: lowest total of the week at thirty eight and a half.
Speaker 1: Yet the Jaguars are still favored by seven and and
Speaker 1: and a half points here, so they don't expect a
Speaker 1: lot of points to be scored. Yet they're still favored
Speaker 1: by seven and a half. I don't see the Jaguars
Speaker 1: winning this game by more than seven points. Plus, Jets
Speaker 1: have gone six and note against the spread there the
Speaker 1: last six times when failing to cover the spread in
Speaker 1: consecutive games, so Todd Bowls obviously bounces back, UM, and
Speaker 1: I think the Jets do so as well. Taking the
Speaker 1: Patriots against the Miami Dolphins. UM. The last five games
Speaker 1: at the Patriots have gone on a two game losing
Speaker 1: streak to have an average margin of victory of twenty
Speaker 1: two point two points, Greggy, So I'm taking the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots there, and my final pick, the fun one
Speaker 1: of the week, I'm taking the Browns. They're gonna win
Speaker 1: this game. They're gonna win this game, outright, Greg, They're
Speaker 1: gonna win it. They're gonna go in their first winning streak.
Speaker 1: Since I don't think the Raiders are very good at all,
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland Browns defense is legit. Their plus
Speaker 1: nine and the turnover differential right now. Plus they limited
Speaker 1: both the Steelers and the Saint to just twenty one
Speaker 1: points each. Baker Mayfield, it's better than Tyrod Taylor who
Speaker 1: moves the ball down the field. And they beat the
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. They go into two game winning streak. They
Speaker 1: start the year four and oh against the spread. Greggy,
Speaker 1: A couple of a couple of ones stand out to
Speaker 1: me imagined Cleveland and Oakland. I feel like everyone was
Speaker 1: on Cleveland, yet there're two and a half point dogs.
Speaker 1: They brought that point. They brought that down but a
Speaker 1: half a point. I think that's are actually coming in Oakland.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people are leaning Okland right now.
Speaker 1: So weird today, Um, I think they just don't expect
Speaker 1: them to start full of things. As I said, stand
Speaker 1: out to me that I'm gonna make us my official
Speaker 1: picks in the week. Chargers and Niners Charges are a
Speaker 1: ten and a half point favorite over C. J. Beethard
Speaker 1: and the San Francisco pourt Niners. That's only because people
Speaker 1: don't remember how horrific CJ. Bethard is at football. Otherwise
Speaker 1: this would be even bigger than ten and a half.
Speaker 1: Give me the Chargers laying ten and a half on
Speaker 1: Sunday against the forty Niners. Frank keeps talking about the Chargers,
Speaker 1: talking about how good this offense is. They're going to
Speaker 1: blow reversal, the role reversal. Come join me, Join me
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon, Greggy. Going the Shiner Chargers minus ten
Speaker 1: and a half Bears and Bucks is really interesting because
Speaker 1: the Bears are three point favorite over a Bucks team
Speaker 1: that let the world on the fire of the first
Speaker 1: two weeks and went tote tote with the Seeers a
Speaker 1: week three. You gotta tell me everybody's on the box
Speaker 1: right they have to be. I don't know. I honestly
Speaker 1: don't know what the trends are for this game right now.
Speaker 1: Give me the home favorite in the Chicago Bears. In
Speaker 1: this one, I nobody likes it because everyone thinks I
Speaker 1: would I wouldn't touch the game. Well I just did.
Speaker 1: You're the Bears three point favorites there from my final pick. Uh.
Speaker 1: The other one that I really wanted to go within
Speaker 1: a lot of Steve was what you did too. So
Speaker 1: we'll make the same game. We'll think the Patriots at
Speaker 1: seven point favorites. I think they blow the Domins out
Speaker 1: of the water. I think it's an easy one for them.
Speaker 1: So Patriots, Patriots, Chargers and Bears for me, Patriots, Jets
Speaker 1: and Browns for me. That's gonna do it. Frenzy is
Speaker 1: up next, or Franks Stample. My name is Grex Susman.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for watching and listening with fantasy
Speaker 1: best friends forever. We'll do it all again on Monday,
Speaker 1: we hope.
