1
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, it is Wednesday, September two. Welcome to the

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. I'm your man named g Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: joined by Michael Left Florida. We've got the specialists on

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: the side of the camera. They are a cast of

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: dozens that help us put on this show. And we

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: are officially through week one. Did you put in a

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: ton of waiver claims? Were you successful anywhere? I did

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: not put in a ton of waiver claims. Uh. In

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: one league, I got Curtis Samuel for five bucks. I

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 1: was very happy with that, and then I I got

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett in a couple of leagues because you know,

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: my tight end approach was pits or weight, and where

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: I waited, I ended up needing a tight end. Yeah.

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: I I didn't really do a lot of waiver claims

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: because I felt like, you know, for the most part,

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I had guys were really good. We just sort of underperformed.

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready to make wholesale changes. Although I did

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: have to put in a lot of claims for Jeff Wilson.

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: I realized I have Elijah Mitcheland more spots than I realized,

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: says I was going through my lineups over the week.

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: I did have a buddy who in one league of

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: man we have a hundred dollar fab He's spent ninety

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: nine of it last night, So good that's it for him.

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Good luck, good luck the rest of the way. All right,

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: we got plenty to talk about. Week two is upcoming,

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: so we will preview every game coming up four weeks two.

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: We'll also have some sleepers and some trap players, Guys

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: who maybe look good on paper that maybe you might

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: want to avoid when you actually do set your line up.

30
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: But first, let's start off with some news the fantasy

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: headlines and starting Dallas, Jerry Jones says, the Cowboys are

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: not going to put Dak Prescott on injured reserve. The

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys are being very optimistic, saying they think he could return,

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: possibly in the next four weeks. Of course, we had

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the news earlier that uh, he is going to have

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: surgery on his hand. It was successful. I've never heard

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: them say the surgery was unsuccessful, by the way, but

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: he had successful surgery on his thumb. The Cowboys are

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: hoping he can be back sooner than later. But the

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: meantime for fantasy managers, this sort of leaves you in

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: a bind because there's no definitive timetable. He's not being

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: placed on I R by the Cowboys, which means if

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you have an I R spot on your roster, he

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: may not be eligible. So if you've got Doc, what

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: do you do right now? I think you're just kind

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: of handcuffed right now, Like I don't think you dropped

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, especially if they're saying he could return in

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the next month. You would be kicking yourself if like

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: three or four weeks from now, Doc is back and

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: looking like the Deck of Old. So, unfortunately, I think

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: you just gotta kind of gotta just burn a roster

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: spot these next couple of weeks. But luckily, quarterback is

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: the deepest position, so you should be able to find

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: a respectable starter, at least on the waiver wire. That's

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: sort of the thing. I've had some people ask me

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: about trades and you should I trade a guy for

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, And my answers no, just because of

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: what you said. Quarterback is deep in most leagues, you're

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: only starting one. They're still gonna be guys out there

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: that can kind of get you through the short term,

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a frustrating weight because there

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: is no definitive timetable on when he comes back. It

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: could be four weeks, it could be eight weeks. So

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: until the Cowboys make a move to put him on

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: injured reserve, you are sort of left burning a roster

66
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: spot waiting for him, because you know, the moment you

67
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: dropped back, someone else in your league is going to

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: go get him. He's not gonna He's not gonna sit

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: there and wait for you for like three or four

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: weeks for you to come get him back. No, if

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: he was a lower quarterback, sure, and then you could

72
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: get away with doing that. But the quarterback of the

73
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys come on and everyone's gonna try to pick

74
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: him up. But if you lost Dak, I think you

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: should be trying to grab like a Winston or to

76
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: uh even a Mariota who showed us that he can

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: be valuable with his legs. I don't know if you

78
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: want to do the Carson Winston, but he's another option.

79
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: He you know, if you like roller coasters, Marson Winston

80
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: your man. He is the you know, the six Flags

81
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: player of the week. I guess every week every week

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: over to Pittsburgh, Nage Harris. We talked about this on Monday,

83
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: was seen leaving the stadium after the game on Sunday

84
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: in a walking boot. Does have a foot in, but

85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: he says he is going to play this weekend against

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Now this is a foot that

87
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: he has injured in the past. Uh, he says he's

88
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: going to go. The Steelers don't really seem to be

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: refuting that. We were sort of hinting maybe Jalen morn

90
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: is potentially an option. But if Nag plays, are you

91
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: worried at all about his foot? Are you worried he

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: might be on a snap count this weekend? Yeah? And

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: my first go around of rankings, I have him ranked

94
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: as the RB eight, which which seems low, but he's

95
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: behind guys like Jeff Wilson, James Robinson, Travis etn David Montgomery,

96
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: even Michael Carter, like those are all running backs that

97
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: I just feel more comfortable with. Naji Harris. I think

98
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: is the ultimate risk reward type play because we know

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: if you if he does suit up, we know the

100
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: upside that he has. He was a first round pick

101
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: for a reason. But they were saying it was a

102
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain. Initially he was in a boot to me,

103
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I guess, and it's a tough matchup against the Patriots defense.

104
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: It just feels like Nagy could play and be very

105
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: very limited or leave the game early because he retweaks

106
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: that ankle. If that is, that's gonna be so hard

107
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: to figure out. It's going to be important to sort

108
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: of watch the practice reports, keep an eye out on

109
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: on whether he's limited at all in practice, how much

110
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: he practices, to get a feel for it. This could

111
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: be a thing where we are waiting pretty much up

112
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: until Sunday to get an idea of what he could be.

113
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: So ideally you have other options. I mean, this is

114
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: week too, so hopefully you've drafted somebody who's gonna be

115
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: available for you. If not, maybe you made a waiver claim.

116
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Jeff Wilson was incredibly popular this week,

117
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: so hopefully you were able to grab somebody on waivers

118
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: just as an insurance policy. I know, if Nagy plays,

119
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to sit him because of what

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: you said. You spent the first round pick probably on

121
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the guy. It's just hard to put him on your

122
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: bench this early. If I know, the Thursday night game

123
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: if you have Alson Ekeler, obviously you're playing him. But

124
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: if you somehow have Naji Harris and you had Clyde Edwards,

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: layers say, it's like your RB three. I would play

126
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: c H over Naji Harris this week. Yeah, we're gonna

127
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: talk about n just a little bit too, because he's

128
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: an interesting, interesting guy to kind of dive into. Uh.

129
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Thursday night game, Keenan Allen no surprise,

130
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: unlikely to play against the Chiefs on Thursday night. He

131
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: injured the hamstring fairly early in the game against the

132
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Raiders in Week one, and I had an m R

133
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: I again, because it was a short week, all signs

134
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: pointed to him sitting out. So last week with no

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, I think we all thought they were gonna

136
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: pivot to Mike Williams. They didn't. DeAndre Carter ended up

137
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 1: having a good day. Generald Everett had a touchdown catch

138
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: this week. Which pass catcher do you like to step

139
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: up in the assumed absence of Keenan Allen. I think

140
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is the obvious answer. I and I know

141
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: people are panicking, and Mike Williams had a down Week one,

142
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: it's not what we wanted to see, but it's also

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: not like it's something unheard of, like Mike Williams even

144
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: last year finishing as a top twelve wide receiver routine,

145
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: Lee had a couple of games like that throughout the year.

146
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: It's just who he is as a fever in his

147
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: style of play. After that, I think Gerald Everett steps

148
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: up in the passing game a lot. I've been picking

149
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: him up as a streaming tight end in a lot

150
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: of places. And then after that, I would say Josh Palmer.

151
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: He's the one that I have the most interesting. I

152
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: know he didn't do a whole lot last week in

153
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: the box score, but he did play the second mold

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: snaps by a good amount. Amongst the receivers, DeAndre Carter

155
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: was at thirty nine percent, Josh Palmer was at seventy seven.

156
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Palmer is the guy that I drafted late in a

157
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: few spots just because I wanted more shots at a

158
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: at the Chargers passing game. But yeah, you're right, on paper,

159
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: he didn't do much. I think he had three catches

160
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: for five yards, which feels really hard to do, but

161
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: somehow he did it. It was DeAndre Carter who at

162
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 1: least made the splashy noise in the box score because

163
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: he had to touchdown. He had to think fifty or

164
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: sixty yards something like that. But everything else pointed to

165
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Palmer sort of being that next option. Uh, if you

166
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: did get Jerrod Ever, I know you said you got

167
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Gerald Ever in the league. I had to pick him

168
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: up a couple of places last Sunday because George Kittle

169
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: was out. I do think he's gonna get opportunity. I

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fairly good all year long. To

171
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: be honest with you, but in terms of the wide receivers,

172
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: it feels like Josh Palmer is the next man up.

173
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Don't be blinded by what happened with DeAndre Carter because

174
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: it feels like he's a little bit down the list

175
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: right now. In Los Angeles. That feels like a perfect

176
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: way though, to get into our Look at the Thursday

177
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: night football game. First game on Prime Video. So in

178
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: case you get home on Thursday and you're wondering where

179
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: the game is, it is streaming on Prime Video. So

180
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: pull up that that Amazon Prime app and you will

181
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: find it there. Just you know, so nobody's like freaked

182
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: out looking across their cable system and wondering why they

183
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: can't find football. It's sort of like the It's sort

184
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: of like the n C two A tournament where everybody's like,

185
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: what channel is True TV? Again? This is what this

186
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: feels like. I love him, Like in Practical Jokers is

187
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows. So I know what T is.

188
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: But every year you always see people like what True

189
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: TV still exists? Right? Like people don't even know? Yeah,

190
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: so Prime not True T. I don't want to compete.

191
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: It's not on True TV, True TV. It's not all right,

192
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: We've we've spent way too much time on this, all right. Um?

193
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned Clyde Edwards de Laire and really surprised everybody

194
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: with a couple of touchdown receptions in Week one against

195
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. You know, we have sort of been

196
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: down on him because his first couple of years have

197
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: not been great. Do you trust him this week? Look

198
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: outside of the whole you know, nag Harris vacuum thing here,

199
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: but just straight up on his own, do you trust him?

200
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Is it possible that he can back up good games

201
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. I think so? And you

202
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: could accuse me of drinking the kool aid. But I

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: wrote about c H He's a start for me in

204
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: the Stardom cinem column this week, and I have him

205
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,239
Speaker 1: ranked as my RB eleven into week two. It's high.

206
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: But early on in that game he was playing about

207
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: six of the snaps and and what I loved was

208
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: that he was dominating the touches early on. They would

209
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: take him off the field in situations for like pass

210
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: blocking and stuff. But I believe he had six of

211
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: their first seven carries and he had I think all

212
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: of the early r B targ it's two, and they

213
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: were using him near the goal line. Plus, this is

214
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: a good matchup. I know you were talking about it

215
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: the other day Markets about how last year how much

216
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers struggled against the run. They were able to

217
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: limit Josh Jacobs last week, but a lot of that

218
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: was because they jumped out to a multiple score lead

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: and the Raiders just completely abandoned the run. So I

220
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: think Clyde Edwards, a layer, would stay involved in the

221
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: passing game even if the Chiefs decided to run the

222
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: ball less. I'm again you can say I'm joking the

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: cool aid, but I'm buying in After one week, I

224
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: have this feeling that this week is gonna look different

225
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: for c e h and that I think he may

226
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: be more involved in the run game. I think part

227
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: of why you saw him involved in the passing games

228
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: so much is because the Cardinals plussed their hearts, decided

229
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: they wanted to blitz Patrick Mahomes over and over and

230
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: over again. I think I saw that in the first half.

231
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: They blitzed him of the time, which is like the

232
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: most he'd ever seen, and all he did was light

233
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: them up for like three touchdown passes. He's the wrong

234
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: guy to blitz. He dominates them like he lit him

235
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: up for three touchdown passes in the first half. You

236
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: see Clyde Layer get two of them. It just seems easy.

237
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna bring that kind of pressure,

238
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball out quick. Whether it's to

239
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, whether it's to Edwards Alaire. You know, Juju Smith, Schuster,

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: you take your pick. I think the Chargers are gonna

241
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: be smart enough to not take that approach against Mahomes

242
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: this this week. So I think you're gonna see Edwards

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Delaire maybe more as a runner. Um. Look, I think

244
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: if you're banking on him scoring two touchdowns. You may

245
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: be disappointed, but I do think he stays involved and

246
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: and maybe this is the year he sort of turns

247
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: the corner and kind of has that third year breakout

248
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. On the other side, it was not

249
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: a great day for Austin Ekeler. I mean he was involved. Um,

250
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: obviously they didn't need him. They went on and got

251
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: the win. Anyway, do you expect he's going to have

252
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: a bounce back this week? Yeah, I think so. I

253
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: mean he's also Neckler, Like one week is not enough

254
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: for me to be like, oh, like ring the panic

255
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: alarm or anything like that. And I think without Keenan

256
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Allen he could even see more targets. Uh. This is

257
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: a game that I think is going to be high scoring.

258
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: We remember last year when these teams faced off late

259
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: in the season on Thursday Night Football. It was very

260
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: high scoring and Ekeler had a good game. He scored

261
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, He went for for over eighty yards. I

262
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: know that's not like the huge Eckler game that we want,

263
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: but earlier in the season when they played him, he

264
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: had over a hundred yards and he had he was

265
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: involved in the past game. He caught a touchdown. He's

266
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. I still have him ranked as a top

267
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: five running back. I wouldn't be worrying at all. I

268
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: mean this, this just seems like, Okay, he had a

269
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: slow start to the season. Not freaked out about it.

270
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be involved. Like you said,

271
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a lot of points in this game, thinking

272
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: it's going to be back and forth. And if that's

273
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the case, they need Austin Ekeler him. Plus, he's a

274
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: guy that not as not just a pass catcher, but

275
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: a route runner for them. I mean, he's not just

276
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: taking outlets and running down the field. So I'm not

277
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: so worried about Austin Ekeler. Again, you probably drafted him

278
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: with a top five pick. You're playing him this week.

279
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine, all right, our trust The NFL

280
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Research team found this nugget force. For the fourth time

281
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: in NFL history, there were four or more players with

282
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty or more rushing yards in the

283
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: opening week. Of those four guys again, Barkley, Taylor, Swift,

284
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: and Chubb. Who is the most likely you think to

285
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: repeat that to go a hundred and forty or more

286
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: in week two. I think it always Sa Kwan Barkley,

287
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: and I was Jonathan Taylor is always a candidate, but

288
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: he just routinely runs for a hundred and forty against

289
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: the Texans every week. Uh, Sae Kwon Barkley is the

290
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Giants offense. Like he played of the Snaps last week,

291
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: he had eighteen carries, seven targets. I mean he led

292
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the team in targets and receptions while also running for

293
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty four yards and a touchdown and

294
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: the winning two point conversion. I mean, I don't know

295
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: what more of this man has to do. Like he's

296
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: just so good and this is a game against the

297
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: Panthers where the Giants could actually be playing with the lead.

298
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, I mean they're just gonna

299
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: ride Sae Kwon Barkley until the wheels fall off. So

300
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: I think that he has a strong case every week

301
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: of rushing for that many yards, the burst looks like

302
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: it's back for Sae Kwon. He he looks like the

303
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: guy that was coming out of Penn State and just

304
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: running people over. I'm gonna go with Nick Chubb because

305
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: sort of like you talk about s Kwon being the offense.

306
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, He's maybe not the whole offense in Cleveland,

307
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: but he's a large part of it. Because as long

308
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: as Jacoby Brissette is the quarterback, they're not going to

309
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: lean on him to throw the ball a ton. If

310
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: if you see Jacoby Brissette routinely throwing the ball thirty

311
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: five times, things have gone really bad in Cleveland. But

312
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: to sort of keep it close, I think they have

313
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: to lean on Chubb. We know he is so great

314
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: after contact picking up those extra yards there. And I

315
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: think the matchup is pretty good against the Jets in

316
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: a game that I expect to stay close pretty much throughout.

317
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: So I expect another big workload for Nick Chubb. I

318
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: expect him to do Nick Chubb things. Uh, and I

319
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he gets a hundred and forty

320
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: or more yards again in week two. All right, let's

321
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: jump into our game previous, and let's start off with

322
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: that Jets and Brown's matchup. If you are looking at somebody,

323
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: start sit beware, whatever where are you gonna go? I

324
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: went there last week. I'm gonna double down. I'm just

325
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: straight up sitting a MARII Cooper and Marcus. You literally

326
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: just said, if if Jacoby Brissett has to throw the

327
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: ball thirty five times, something has gone horribly wrong. He

328
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: threw the ball thirty four times last week. Amari Cooper

329
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: finished with seventeen yards. Jacoby Brissett finished with a hundred

330
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: and forty seven yards and one touchdown. That's the sort

331
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: of volume we're talking about in a game where the

332
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: Browns had to throw the ball because it was it

333
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: was close and they fell behind late. If this is

334
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: a week against the Jets where they're playing, you know

335
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: it's closer, they're playing with the lead, which I certainly

336
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: think it's possible they're gonna want to keep Jacoby Brissett

337
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: closer to like passing attempts, I I believe, and that's

338
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: just not enough volume for Mariy Cooper. They're gonna he's

339
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: the clear focus in that passing game that other defenders,

340
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: defenders are going to be keening in on. So I

341
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: just think Amori Cooper is someone right now to just

342
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: flat out sit everywhere. I mean, it's a situation where

343
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be a ton of targets at least

344
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: if things are going right for the Browns, not a

345
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: ton of targets available, and you sort of looked at

346
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: like the route depth for these teams, they're not really

347
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: pushing it down field. Uh, Donovan, People's Jones was mostly

348
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: the downfield threat, and even that wasn't necessarily huge. So

349
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I I avoided drafting Amari Cooper this year,

350
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: and if I have him, I don't know that I

351
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: feel comfortable playing him at all at this point. The

352
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: Commanders and the Lions, we talked about this earlier. The

353
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Commanders have an interesting past catching group. Do you know,

354
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: we knew Terry McLaurin was going to be a thing,

355
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: but Curtis Samuel came alive in week one and my

356
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: sleeper this week is John Dotson. And I know there

357
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: are folks, the draft knicks, the Dynasty folks who were

358
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: big on Johan Dotson, and I think the rest of

359
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: us sort of saw what was up this past week

360
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: and didn't get a ton of catches, but did make

361
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: some nice plays, had a touchdown as well, And you

362
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: looked at it, he was running in terms of going

363
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: down field about the same amount as Terry mclaurence. So

364
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: now you've got two guys sort of on the outside

365
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: that could kind of stretch the field for you. Carson Wentz,

366
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: we know he's going to be inconsistent, but he does

367
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: like to throw the ball down field, so that is

368
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: a good thing for Dotson. Uh, the Lions, you know

369
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: they were giving up some some chunk plays last week

370
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: as well. I know they gave up the big long

371
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: catch to a J. Brown, who, like, I don't know

372
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: if that's fair to compare because a J. Brown is

373
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: just a man. But I do think you're gonna see

374
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: Washington pushed the ball downfield. If Dotson is out there

375
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: in your league and your waiver wire, go get him. Um.

376
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: But I do think he has some sleeper repeal this week.

377
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: I like him. I like all of the Washington pass catchers,

378
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: and and Dotson and Samuel were two of the players

379
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: this week that I was like, if they're out there,

380
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: they're worth more than a mid bate. I didn't think manywhere. Also,

381
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: that game is the rematch, I guess, or the revenge

382
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: game of like the two thousand and seventeen draft class

383
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: versus Wins. That's right, It's gonna be a big, big

384
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: couple of weeks for Wins because, like he's he's got

385
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: the Lions. I think he's got the Eagle's gonna have

386
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles a couple of times this year because that's

387
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: a you know, his old team, his original team that

388
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: he'll try to get revenge on. Two. So a lot

389
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: going on for Carson wentz uh Bucks and the Saints.

390
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: If you're going to pull a clip for social and

391
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: put this across social media, I feel like this is

392
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: the thing that it's going to be. Um. I don't.

393
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. I just think it's going

394
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: to generate conversation. I'm gonna get some flak for this,

395
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, be aware of the goat, be aware

396
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady, and I actually have him as a

397
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: sit in the start and sit column. Look, he's played

398
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: the Saints four times since becoming a member of the Bucks,

399
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: and in those games he's strown for two two nine,

400
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: three seventy and two hundred fourteen yards, so one good game,

401
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: three bad ones, and he has six touchdowns to eight interceptions.

402
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: In those games. He's averaged less than seventeen fantasy points

403
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: per game against the Saints, where is he averages over

404
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: twenty six against everyone else. The Saints have just had

405
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: Brady's number, and those numbers are all inflated by that

406
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: one big game. It's possible he is the goat. He

407
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady. He's proven me wrong more times than

408
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: I can count already. But this is a tough matchup.

409
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: And it's not like Brady played lights out last week either.

410
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: He scored less than eleven Fantasy points. There's no Chris

411
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Godwin for me. This is like my Matt Stafford sit

412
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: last week. I wouldn't send him for just anyone. But

413
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: if you have another quarterback on your roster, say Derek Carr,

414
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: someone like that that you feel comfortable with, I would

415
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: play that player over Brady. Yeah. It's it's become notorious

416
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: that the Saints just know how to stop Tom Brady.

417
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are thirty other teams in the league

418
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: that want to bottle that and figure out how to

419
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: make that work. But for whatever reason, the Saints have

420
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: have sort of figured it out. Uh Panthers and the Giants,

421
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about say Kwon Barkley here. For me,

422
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm sort of I'm sort of hedging on this. So

423
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: I wrote beware of Robby Anderson, and I think on

424
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: the one hand, you can certainly be aware because most

425
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: of his yardists came on one play. He had one

426
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: long touchdown catch, So in that respect, it's sort of

427
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: hard to think that that he can do it again

428
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: just because this isn't necessarily a vertical passing game. On

429
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: the other hand, I do think he has sleeper potential

430
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: just because he ran a hundred percent of routes on

431
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: of the dropbacks last week. He did lead the team

432
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: in targets, so maybe they're are more chunk plays there.

433
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: I just think basically for Robbie Inderton, it's going to

434
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: be inconsistent week to week. I think they're gonna be

435
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: weeks where he will be better than he has been.

436
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: But you know, sort of like we talked about with

437
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, there could be weeks where he just sort

438
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: of leaves you wanting. So I know, I'm I'm kind

439
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: of talking in circles at the moment right now. But yeah,

440
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: if you really are short on wide receivers, I think

441
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: he's a guy you can kind of give a shot

442
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: to as a flex option. But I don't know that

443
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: you can feel really great about it. If that makes sense. No,

444
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I think it does when when I saw Robbie do

445
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: what he did. My my first takeaway wasn't like he's great.

446
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, this is bad for DJ Moore,

447
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Like if if other pieces are becoming a big thing

448
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: in this offense, because d J Moore is gonna have

449
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: games where he's the guy, so like it could just

450
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: like he said, it could just be kind of a

451
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: headache each week. Yeah, I just I don't think there's

452
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: enough in you know, with Baker Mayfield at quarterback for

453
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: multiple guys to be successful in the same game, especially

454
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: because Christian McCaffrey is gonna get more. He didn't get

455
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: a lot last week. He's gonna get more. So that

456
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: means it's gonna be McCaffrey and take your pick of

457
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: more or Anderson every week. So we'll see, all right,

458
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: we got plenty more games to talk about. We will

459
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: come back look at the Patriots and the Steelers, also

460
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the forty Niners, which maybe is a

461
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: little more interesting than we thought it would be at

462
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: this point in the season. That is next on the

471
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: of game previews four weeks two, we got the Patriots

472
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. We talked earlier about Naji Harris. He

473
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: says he plans to play. We'll see how limited he

474
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: may be as we get to Sunday. But in terms

475
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: of this game starts and sits for most fantasy managers. Uh,

476
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: we're still down on New England. Huh, Yeah, We're we're

477
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: down on New England. I think with the with the

478
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: Steelers there you you start, Deontay, I think Pat Frian

479
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: Wotson play. After that, I kind of get away from

480
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: the rest with the Steels, the Patriots, I mean, I'm

481
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: getting away from it all. Like mac Jones is banged

482
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: up right now. He's dealing with back spasms of his own,

483
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: so he's a little up in the air. Hunter Henry

484
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: was a guy who was usful last year. But he's

485
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: getting outplayed by John new Smith in week one and

486
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: if he doesn't score a touchdown, we know how volatile

487
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: he is. Uh, the receivers, I mean there's four different

488
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: receivers getting action like that. That is not what you

489
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: want to see for fantasy purposes. And then the running

490
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: backs were supposed to be the thing that we can

491
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: hang our hat on in this offense, but Damien Harris

492
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: led them last week, which is the snaps, nine carries,

493
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: all three of their running backs were involved in the

494
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: past and game. I know Time Montgomery's sideline now, but

495
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: even still, until we see one of them consistently get

496
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: usage there there, we're looking at like ten to twelve

497
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: touches for them. That's just not enough. I don't think

498
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: it's not enough at all. I will say that maybe

499
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: with Time Montgomery on injured reserve, maybe this means more

500
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: targets for Romandre Stevenson. I was surprised he had fewer

501
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: targets than Montgomery. H Montgomery played more snaps than Stevenson

502
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: in week one. Frustrating, super frustrating. So maybe that clears

503
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. But there's still so much

504
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: about that offense that is just underwhelming. I'm with you,

505
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: I don't want any and the Steelers shut down the

506
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Bengals a week ago. I don't want I don't want

507
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots against want no part of that at all,

508
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: UH Colts and the Jaguars, And I'm gonna say I

509
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: have my he lines as a sleeper. He might just

510
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: be a flex start, depending on on what your roster

511
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: looks like or how deep your league is coming into

512
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: the year. Frank Wright, you know, made a comment about

513
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: how you know, if I played fantasy football, I would

514
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: really pay attention to Niheim Hines, and we all sort

515
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: of perked up at that, and then I saw the

516
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: results of Week one. I'm like, oh yeah, he wasn't lying.

517
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Michael Pittman was far and away the number

518
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: one target in the offense, no surprise there, but the

519
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: next most efficient and productive pass catcher was Niheem Hines

520
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: caught all six of his targets. Really was the closest

521
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: thing they had to a wide receiver too, because they

522
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: don't have anybody else that's gonna catch the football there consistently.

523
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, now I think it's gonna be out with

524
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: a concussion because he took a really wicked shot during

525
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: the game. There's just nobody else that you can really

526
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: count on in that offense to catch the football. So

527
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: we know that Jonathan Taylor is going to get the

528
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: rushing work and he'll get a few targets. But Niheim Hines,

529
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he might be the number two pass catcher

530
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis right now. I agree, And it's something that

531
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: that we were talking about coming into the year, Like

532
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan just likes throwing to his running backs a lot,

533
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: and both of them saw over five targets in Week one.

534
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: So I think it's an instance where like just because

535
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is Jonathan Taylor doesn't mean there's not enough

536
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: for him Hins to also be fantasy relevant. I think

537
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the case pretty much

538
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: all year long. It's in the past. We have the

539
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: Nike Heinz game. This might be Nike Hinds like season

540
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: at this point unless we find somebody else. The Dolphins

541
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: and the Ravens, uh two teams that are interesting. I

542
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: guess offensively, you know, the Dolphins look like they look

543
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: like they've got something going. The Ravens, I mean, they

544
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: were Lamar Jackson heavy, no surprise there. What do you

545
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: like in this one? So on the Dolphins side, I

546
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: think you start Tyreek Kill. I think you start Chase Edmonds.

547
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: The rest are a little up in the air. We're

548
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about Jalen Waddle later. For the Ravens,

549
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: you know you're starting Mark Andrews, you know you're starting

550
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and I would still be starting Rashad Bateman.

551
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: I know it's easy to look at what he did

552
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: in Week one and be like he had one good

553
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: catch that saved his day. Well it was a fifty

554
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Like that is what Rashad Bateman brings to

555
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: the table. He is a deep ball threat, he could

556
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: win in the red zone. But what I like is

557
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: he is the second most targeted player behind Mark Andrews.

558
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: He led this receiving corps in snaps and routes, and

559
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be their top receiver. And last week

560
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: was against the Jets, the Ravens had to lead Lamar

561
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: only through thirty times. This game could be closer against

562
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Lamar might be showing out for a team

563
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: that he potentially wants to play on in the future.

564
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: I expect more passing this week, and if that's the case,

565
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: I expect even more Rashod Bateman production have talked about

566
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: this too earlier in the week. This feels like an

567
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: offense that might be able to support three pass catchers

568
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: this year, because I don't think Bateman gets the same

569
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of target share as Marquis Brown, which means you've

570
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: got Andrews, you've got Bateman, and you've got Devin du Verne,

571
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: who could end up being a fantasy relevant pretty much

572
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: all year. Falcons and the Rams, and I saw you know,

573
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: I think Andrew Siciliano tweeted out the stat about teams

574
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: that started season oh and two, and your chances of

575
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: making the Super Bowl are pretty much nil at that point.

576
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: So weirdly, this is an elimination game for these two teams.

577
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: It's also the Todd Gurley Bowl, even though he hasn't

578
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: played in the league uh in a while. But I'm

579
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: saying you can start Allen Robinson. And this is mostly

580
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: I think a don't panic message about what happened in

581
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: Week one. Yeah, it was awful. You got two points

582
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: out of Allen Robinson. Matthew Stafford seemed to barely look

583
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: his way. They're not playing the Bills this week. They're

584
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: not playing that Bill's defense we saw in the fourth

585
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: quarter last week, Jamis Winston in the Saints offense really

586
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: come alive. And I just also think after what happened

587
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: last week, Sean McVeigh knows they've got to get Allen

588
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: Robinson going a little bit more. They've got to get

589
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: him involved in the passing game. So I'm not gonna

590
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: quite say this is the squeaky wheel theory because we

591
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything from Robinson specifically, But this is more

592
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: of the Rams sort of overcorrecting a little bit, figuring

593
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: out what went wrong, getting a lot of their other

594
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: pieces involved, and again, not having to play a defense

595
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: for a super Bowl caliber opponent I think has a

596
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. So if you have Allen

597
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Robinson and you're freaked out about last week, this is

598
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: just my moment to say, take a breath, it's gonna

599
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: be okay. He's gonna bounce back this week. And me

600
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: and you both watched all of his routes after that game,

601
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: and both of our takeaway would like, yeah, he could

602
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: have had more more volume go his way. Yeah, he

603
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: should have had more than two targets. Um, you know,

604
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: I know somebody's like he was open on all of them,

605
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: like I'll pump the brakes. I'll pump the brakes on that.

606
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: But he definitely should have had more than two targets

607
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: last week. Uh So Seahawks and forty Niners, I should say,

608
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: your your NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks, which is not

609
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: a phrase I thought i'd be saying against the San

610
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners, who are looking their wounds after a

611
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: frustrating loss in Week one. Who are you looking at

612
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: for this one? I think for the forty Niners, you're

613
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: playing Deebo Samuel. We gotta see about George Kittle. I

614
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: think Trey Lance is still in play. Uh. And then

615
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, though I after a shot Penny, I

616
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: say beware of everyone that includes dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett,

617
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: who in years past where obvious must starts with Russell Wilson.

618
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: You look back at Week one, Geno Smith through the

619
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: ball eight times. Dk Metcalf led them with seven targets.

620
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: He caught all seven of them for thirty six yards.

621
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: That's not good. And then Tyler Lockett only four targets,

622
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: three catches, twenty eight yards and again this is now

623
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: a matchup where I think both teams are going to

624
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: try to establish the run. This could be one of

625
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: the slowest paced games of the year. Forget the week

626
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: like we could see each team attempt twenty five passes

627
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: or something like that. And when we're talking about General Smith,

628
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: clearly the game plan with him is control the clock,

629
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: short throws that you know you can complete. You're not

630
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: airing it out, You're not taking those moon ball shots

631
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: with Russ. I just think it's gonna be a very

632
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: very long year. Some good weeks for these guys, but

633
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: more often than not, I think you're gonna be getting

634
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: like ten eleven points out of DK metcalf and and

635
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: that is going to be frustrating. Watching that game on

636
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Monday night, I thought, man, Gino is bawling out. I mean,

637
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: he is dealing, And then I went back and looked

638
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: and he had fewer than two hundred past years. Ah.

639
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: That does not bode well for the rest of the

640
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: year for those guys. I don't think so at all.

641
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Cowboys next up on our list of

642
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: Week two games. We talked about the Cowboys. No Dak Prescott,

643
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: so you're sort of taking a cautious approach with pretty

644
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: much everybody Seedee lamb Zke, Tony Pollard, Dalton Schultz, etcetera, etcetera.

645
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: Let's look on the Bengal side, because I think you're

646
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: streaming the Bengals defense. We're picking on the Cowboys offense

647
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: right now until Dak Prescott gets back. So the Bengals

648
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: I feel like a really great streaming option this week.

649
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, maybe to get some sacks on rush, get

650
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: some turnovers, that sort of thing. I also want to

651
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: talk about Joe Burrow because it was not a great

652
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: week for him in Week one. He's sort of rallied

653
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: and tried to salvage it as much as possible in

654
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: the latter part of the game, but turn the ball

655
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: over a ton. I think he bounces back this week.

656
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just too good. He has too many weapons.

657
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: That offense is too good to think that he's going

658
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: to do this all year long. So and I say

659
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: this is somebody who started Joe Burrow in a couple

660
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: of places last week. Yeah, it was not what we wanted.

661
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Um Like, I feel like in the short time it's

662
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: for me to get from here to home on Sunday,

663
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: he had already thrown a couple of picks. That was

664
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: not a great way to start. But I think I

665
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: think he's gonna bounce back. There's a reason we're drafting

666
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: him as a top six or top eight quarterback. I

667
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: just I just don't think you can keep him down

668
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: for too long. He looked great outside of those picks,

669
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: like he was throwing the ball down field will like.

670
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: It was just one of those games where like you

671
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of tip your hat to the Pittsburgh like they

672
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: got playmakers on that side of the ball as well. Yeah,

673
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: so I think you think you know what the panic

674
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow. This week, it's time for Who's Gonna Eat,

675
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: presented by Uber Eats. Managing a fantasy team and hitting

676
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: refresh on your scores works up an appetite, so order

677
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: with Uber Eats today. All right, let's talk about this

678
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: Broncos Texans matchup Floria. Who you think is gonna ball

679
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: out in this one? This is kind of a straightforward game.

680
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: I think for the Texans, you know, to play Brandon

681
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: Cooks rex Burg head is maybe a flex and that's

682
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: kind of it there. I would still be sitting Damian

683
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: Pierce and then with the Broncos, you know, Javonci Williams

684
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: looks like a start right now. Russell Wilson is still

685
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: a start, but I think Jerry Judy is a start

686
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: as well, and Courtland Sutton is as well. The only

687
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: thing is coming into the year, Courtland Sutton was getting

688
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: a lot of hype and in Week one he had

689
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: a great game, but so did Jerry Judy, And that

690
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: was kind of something I think that got overlooked in

691
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: the preseason. Everyone was so bullish or not everyone, but

692
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people were very bullish on Courtland Sutton

693
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: that Jerry Judy started to fall in drafts a little bit,

694
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: and I kind of think this is the new DK

695
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: and lock It in the sense of Courtland Sutton maybe

696
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: the d K. But Jerry Judy is is a very

697
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: good receiver in his own right. He's going to be

698
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: that Tyler Lockett. And when you look back at how

699
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: those two were the last couple of years in Seattle,

700
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: there were there were lock It weeks and there were

701
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Decay weeks, and I think that's exactly going to be

702
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: the case with these Broncos guys, and in the end,

703
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: those guys would end up pretty close to each other

704
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: in the final rankings, and that very well could be

705
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: the case with Sutton and Judy. Although what's frustrating those

706
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: first few drives when Russ wasn't throwing to any wide

707
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: receivers at all? Do you know? So, just to go

708
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: off topic, I tweeted as a joke, I was like,

709
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: the answer to Sutton verse Judy was Andrew Beck. And

710
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: then Judy scored a touchdown and someone tagging and old

711
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: takes exposed and I was like, you got like, there's

712
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: so much worse. Like clearly was a joke. People looked,

713
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: I have thoughts. I just don't do that. That was

714
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: Who's Gonna Eat presented by Uber Eats, the official on

715
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: demand food delivery partner of the NFL. Even if you

716
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: make the wrong fantasy lineup call, make the right call

717
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: on delivery order with Uber Eats. Today, Cardinals at the

718
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Raiders two teams again, this is sort of another another

719
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: elimination game, right. The Cardinals got drilled by the Chiefs

720
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: in Week one. The Raiders really could never get it

721
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: going against the Chargers. They lose Week one. I think

722
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: for Las Vegas, I think Derek car is certainly in play.

723
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: We know Davante Adams is definitely a start. Theren Waller

724
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: should be a start as well. On the cardinal side,

725
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: you're starting Kyler, You're starting you know, Marquise Brown, James

726
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: Conner also think you're starting zach Ertz and I have

727
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: been on record as saying that I thought zach Ertz

728
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: was going too late in drafts. I know he didn't

729
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: have big numbers in Week one, just two catches fourteen yards,

730
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: did have a touchdown, I think also had a two

731
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: point conversion in that which sort of saved his day.

732
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: There will be more targets for him. I think also

733
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: what happened is that the Chiefs are the Chiefs jumping

734
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: out to a big lead. It really sort of scrambled

735
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: what Arizona wanted to do. I think they wanted to

736
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: push the had to push the ball down field more

737
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: to try to get back in the game. I think

738
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: this week, this game stays closer. I think you see

739
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: Kyler get his passing weapons involved a little bit more.

740
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: And I still think that until DeAndre Hopkins comes back,

741
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: with ron Dale Moore still sort of nursing an injury,

742
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: I think there's still plenty of targets for Zach Earth,

743
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: So I would expect more than fourteen yards. I expect

744
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: more than the two catches he had. I think you're

745
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: fine having him in your lineup this week. Yeah, I

746
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: think so as well. I I he he last week

747
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: was limited and still got the job done, like for

748
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. So that's that's all you want. I mean,

749
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: look for tight ends, the sort touchdown. You're pretty much golden.

750
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna do more than that this

751
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: week as well. Sunday Night Football the Bears and the Packers.

752
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: The Bears flying high after their big win, the Packers

753
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: still trying to figure some things out offensively. And I

754
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: see you're you've done in about face from where you

755
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: were on a certain player last week. Oh yeah, I'm

756
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying again to start Aaron Rodgers here. I I

757
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: last week, I was like, listen, he thrives against the

758
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Vikings and it didn't work out. But the Bears are

759
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate get right game. I'm sorry him, Rogers. They

760
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: are like he is an honorary owner of the Chicago Bears.

761
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: We know that, and in his last four games against Chicago,

762
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: he's averaged nearly twenty nine fantasy points per game. Throwing

763
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: almost four touchdowns per game. He just it's something about

764
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: this matchup. He always plays well against the Bears, he

765
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: has his entire career. I know that there are concerns

766
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: about the Packers offense, the receiving room and everything, and

767
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: it's real, but this just feels like a spot where

768
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers last week year too. Remember he was awful

769
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: Week one and then went on to be the m

770
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: v P the rest of the way. I'm not worrying

771
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: too much yet after one down game. I think this

772
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: is a get right spot for him. It is. It

773
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: is a home game, it is an Island game on

774
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Sunday night football, it is against the Bears. All these

775
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: things seem to be coming together for Aaron Rodgers to

776
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: go out and have one of those classic Aaron Rodgers

777
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: games where suddenly than everybody's like, oh yeah, you know,

778
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Ellen Lizard's a thing and Christian Watson like, we'll come

779
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: back on Monday and be like, oh yeah, these are

780
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: the Packers again. That's a good point. Like if Christian

781
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: Watson holds onto that long a d R touchdown last week, yeah,

782
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: we're we're talking about Rodgers in the offense completely different.

783
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: It's totally totally different day. So yes, I know, we

784
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to be a top

785
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: five quarterback at the end of the year, but he's

786
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: still Aaron Rodgers. You can't completely discount him. If you've

787
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: got him, you are probably starting him, un like those

788
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: people who tweeted you last week. And should I drop

789
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? No, no, No, we have a Rogers somewhere. Yeah,

790
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: I think we got a Rodgers here on this table somewhere.

791
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't knocked it over in a

792
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: couple of days. We'll ah. So we're doing a new

793
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: thing here called our fantasy thirst traps. Their players that

794
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: look really fine, look really tempting, but I couldn't leave

795
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: you a little bit thirsty. We should probably do this

796
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. We would probably get our Paltroy King

797
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: in here for this, but we're gonna do this anyway.

798
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: So we each have a guy that looks really great

799
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: on paper but might leave you wanting at the end

800
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: of the week. Who is your thirst trap this week?

801
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: It is Jalen Waddle, who I understand is is so

802
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: good and you need to start him, especially where you

803
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: drafted him. But week one didn't do anything to alleviate

804
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: any concerns. In fact, I think it might have added

805
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: to it. Uh to a in a game where they

806
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: had a lead only through thirty three times, twelve of

807
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: them went to Tyreek Kill. No one else had more

808
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: than five targets. Jalen Waddle had the five targets there,

809
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: four catches, sixty nine yards and a touchdown, But he

810
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: needed a forty two yard touchdown a salvage his day.

811
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: Obviously he can do that at any point in a game.

812
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: That's why you start him. But if he the games

813
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have that long touchdown, I think you're

814
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna be left wanting a lot more out of Jalen model.

815
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be I just, you know, sort of wondered

816
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: like how the targets were going to be distributed, knowing

817
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: that they spent a lot to bring in Tyreek Hill,

818
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: and they're gonna focus, They're gonna feature him a lot,

819
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: and so you wonder whether Waddle was consistently gonna get

820
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: a large target share. For me, it's Cordarol Patterson who

821
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: exceeded my expectations in Week one. Going back and watching

822
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: that game, the Falcons were very run heavy and maybe

823
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be a surprise, but the fact that Cordarol

824
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: Patterson got twenty two carries on Sunday was a surprise

825
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: to me and was very effective, very efficient with that.

826
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: I just don't see that sort of rush volume coming

827
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: for him each and every week, and especially a week

828
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: like this against the Rams. I don't think they're gonna

829
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball quite as effectively. On

830
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: top of it, I think the Rams are gonna be

831
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: sort of frustrated about what happened last week. I expect

832
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: him to come out and score quickly, which means, if

833
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: you're Atlanta you have to sort of abandon the running game.

834
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: They're going to have to get Kyle Pitts and Drake

835
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: London even more involved. So if you if you saw

836
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: cor Darrow's numbers from last week and are tempted to

837
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: maybe throw him in the lineup, I think twice, because

838
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: I just don't see a repeat of what we saw

839
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: in Week one against the Saints. So, uh, those are

840
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: our fantasy thirst traps. We'll see what happens, whether or

841
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: not you know you're excited about it, or if you

842
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: decided you want to just you know, maybe just look

843
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: from afar and wave and say goodbye. All right, all right,

844
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: let's get to some of our top sleepers. Four week

845
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: to Floria. Who you got? I think Michael Carter. I

846
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: still think if you ask the average fantasy player who

847
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: is the Jets RB one, they would say Breeze Hall.

848
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: But in week one it was it was Michael Carter.

849
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: He played six of the snaps, he had ten carries

850
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: to Breeze Hall's six, and then he also saw I mean,

851
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: this is remarkable, both running backs on nine targets from

852
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. So right there. I mean, in the past

853
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: game alone, Michael Carter had over had double digit Fantasy points.

854
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: Then you add on what he does in the running game,

855
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 1: the fact that he is always a candidate to score

856
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think, and this is a game that

857
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: could be closer for the Jets. They were playing down

858
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: multiple scores throughout against the Baltimore for much of that game.

859
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: If this game against the Browns is close, I think

860
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Michael Carter could get a lot of volumes. I just

861
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: keep saying, Michael Carter is not going away. Even if

862
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: Breeze Hall ends up getting more work later on in

863
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: the season. Michael Carter is never going to not be

864
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: a thing for the Jets. I like DJ Chark as

865
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: a sleeper this week. I'm on ross St Brown continuing

866
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: to be a big part of the passing game in Detroit.

867
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: But it looks right now like the number two receiver

868
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: is DJ Chark had more targets than t J. Hawkinson.

869
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: Uh is more of a downfield guy. We know obviously

870
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is going to be part of the passing game,

871
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: but DJ Chark looks like he really could be an

872
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: important part of what the Lions do throwing the football.

873
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an interesting game. This could

874
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: sneakily be one of the higher scoring games this week

875
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: against Washington. I think both teams are gonna have to

876
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: throw the football. You talked about the you know, the

877
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: matchup of on He's seventeen quarterbacks between Golf and Carson

878
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: wentz Um. But yeah, a lot of targets go to

879
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: amant ross A Brown. They can't all go to amant

880
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: ross A Brown. And so I think DJ Chark is

881
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: potentially a chunk play guy for the Lions. I like

882
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: that call. He is so important to that offense. He's

883
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: so underrated. I think because he helps open up everything

884
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: underneath for st Brown and Swift and Hockinson and that

885
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: whole cast. Right, if we didn't talk about him a

886
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: lot during the preseason, but I think we'll talk about

887
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: him now. You have Aaron Rodgers is a start one

888
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: of his receivers as a sleeper. Yeah, Romeo Dobbs five

889
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: targets last week might not sound like a whole lot.

890
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: It was second on the team and it led all

891
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: of their non running backs like A. J. Dillon had six,

892
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones had five. No other player besides Dobbs had

893
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: more than four. So I think that is telling for

894
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: a week one rookie to be that involved. And I

895
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: think the fact that like Christian Watson dropped that long touchdown,

896
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: that is gonna go against him. And we know Aaron

897
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: Rodgers loves trust and it's such a big thing him.

898
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: I think Dobbs is earning more and more of his trust.

899
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised last week he was fourth

900
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: amongst the receivers in snaps. I wouldn't be surprised if

901
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: he quickly jumps past Watkins and Cop wouldn't be surprised

902
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: at especially you talk about Watkins at Cobb as well.

903
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: Curious to see how this sort of works when Alan

904
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Lazard is back, but I think Dobbs has done enough

905
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: to cement a pretty consistent spot in the rotation. My

906
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: last one is z A Jones. I feel like every

907
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Year's A Jones does just enough to sort of grab

908
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: our attention and remind us that he still exists within

909
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: the context of the league. I think he's the number

910
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: two receiver in Jacksonville, though behind Christian Kirk and Look,

911
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: the Colts their secondary is known to give up big plays.

912
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they they ended up in a battle

913
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: with the Texans that we didn't expect. Davis Mills for

914
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: a good part of the game looked very good throwing

915
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: the football, Brandon Cooks did his thing, they got a

916
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns from O. J. Howard. The other part

917
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: is that Za Jones tends to run, or at least

918
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 1: on in Week one, ran a lot of his routes

919
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: and had a lot of his targets. Kind of up

920
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: the scene that is where the Colts got victimized last week.

921
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: So I know the Jaguar offense isn't great, but it

922
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: feels better than last year. Just a change in coaching

923
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: staff makes it feel better. So I'm not suggesting this

924
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: outside of say, deeper leagues, but I do think Za

925
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: Jones may have a little bit more potential this year

926
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: then I think we thought coming into the season. Yeah,

927
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you on that one. And and

928
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: I think Christian Kirk is gonna be a much better

929
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: fantasy acid than we gave him credit. I do too.

930
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: I do too. I think I think you know, we

931
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: all laughed because the you know, the Jaguars through the

932
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: bag at him, but maybe they knew something. Maybe they

933
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: figured out how to unlock Christian Kirk down there in Jacksonville.

934
