The mascot Tony ROBO's 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: flat on his back and he was blasted. Touch Stack, touchstaff, 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: David Dofson, touchstaff, Buffalo. I can't believe it. He was 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: right over Mark. He was wide on. If you like 8 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, you're going to like NFL Fantasy Live, featuring 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: the experts of NFL dot Com.

Guys, we are eagerly awaiting the arrival 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: of Marshall Falko will join us here in a few 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: minutes to help us break down all the latest news 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: and fantasy. But you know what, I'll tell you what. 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: This is a Wednesday where we saw some pretty big 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: news and let's kick things off in Pittsburgh where we 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: saw not only Ben Roethlisberger, where Chard mendenhol added to 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: the injury. Port will start with Big Ben first. The 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: walking boot last week. This is typical Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger is 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: a guy who I think he ends every game in 23 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: a walking boot, and yet he finally finds a way 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: to come out and play on Sunday. But I think 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: you have to turn the page on Roethlisberger from two 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: thousand and ten to where they are right now. I 27 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: don't think he's a viable fantasy start. The Steelers from 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 1: a football to fantasy standpoint, are struggling too much fats 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: and it's not been Roethlisberger's fall guys. I mean, let's 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: be honest, this is because of the offensive line. I mean, 31 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: they're basically five turnstiles out there. Every time Roethlisberger drops 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: back to past, he's got defenders in his face, and 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: the Titans are seventh and past defense. So I do 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: think Roethlisberger, despite the fact that we've got six teams 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: on a by is a very risky start. H I'm 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: not sure if Tennessee is going going to bring as 37 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: much pressure as Wade Phillips and Houston because that's kind 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: of his INMO. But I agree with Fabs. The offensive 39 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: line is leaky, and they decided not to bring Flozell 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Adams back this year to give them a little help. 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: And you know, you have to wonder about starting Mike Wallace, 42 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: you start a Heath Miller. You know, it's not just Roethlisberger, 43 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: it's how does it affect the other parts on the 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Steeler offense. I think the only guy you can start 45 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: with confidence in Pittsburgh right now is Mike Wallace. That's 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: the only guy. Yeah, he's getting the targets no matter, 47 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: no matter what's going on. But you take a look 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: at this and that's when you get into the beginning 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: of the year. We said, Okay, we know all these 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks we're gonna have this year, and it's easy 51 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: to go and and grab a guy. But then stuff 52 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: happens that guys like Roethlisberger and you still start them 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: because they were a big name, but realized guys like 54 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and and and guys like Rex Grossman the first 55 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: few weeks are much better alternatives. Eli Manning is back 56 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: to being a must start now. Yeah, and I believe 57 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: we do have Marshall Falk on the line. Marshall, you're there, 58 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: my man in Marshall, you are the best. Thanks for 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: joining us here on the NFL Fantasy Live Now. Marshall 60 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: and I met probably like four years ago when I 61 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: started off at NFL Network NFL dot Com, and I 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: told Marshall, I said, you know what, you were so 63 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: damn good in fantasy football back when I started this 64 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: in like that, I had a draft like re running 65 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: backs just make up for your production on the football field. 66 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: But you know what, now, fantasy football is so huge Marshall. 67 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: Back in the day when you were, you know, clearly 68 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: the elite running back in the National Football League. How 69 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: popular was it. Did you get a lot of people 70 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: talking to you about playing on their fantasy teams or 71 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: was it a little bit less than you see now? 72 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: It was it was so new, um, and it was 73 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of taken off at that point in time, and 74 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: we didn't know how much exposure it was going to 75 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: bring to the game of football. Um. It was funny 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: because you walk into a stadium and people would say, hey, 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: I want you to do good, but I just want 78 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: you to lose. So you know, they what have you 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: onta the team and they will root for you in 80 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: one capacity. Again, they wanted you to lose because ultimately 81 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: because they wanted their team to win. I remember, Marshall, 82 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: the two people that I was always scared of the 83 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: most to play. I always looked to say, who am 84 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: I playing against? Were you and Barry Sanders? That I 85 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: would have like night sweats going. I got Marshall, Falcon, 86 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. They're gonna score like a thousand points and 87 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose this week. Yeah, Barrywood phenomena as well. 88 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's really left the game and 89 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: it's it's it's the chaining. And I have to say, 90 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: if you live in a man getting your team as 91 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: a competitive if we did football, Marshall, when I started 92 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: playing fantasy football, Tony Dorsett was my main option. So 93 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that I can really contribute much here. Marshall. 94 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about your fantasy team on 95 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, NFL Network. You've got Mike Wallace this week, 96 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: You've got la Garrett Blunt uh going for you. What 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: do you think about la Garrett Blunt coming off of 98 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: a big game against the Colts. He's playing the Niners 99 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: this week and they have allowed the fewest fantasy points 100 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: the running backs. What do you see from Blunt going 101 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: up against that tough Niners run defense? You know, I 102 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: like it? I like it. Um, I watched the way 103 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: the Niners pretty defense. I believe it's um. Uh. They 104 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: do a really good job at at eliminating uh y'alls 105 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: have the attacked full back. UM just will this will 106 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: probably be the biggest back, probably the Niner's toughest challenge 107 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: that they had thus far. UM. I like my chances 108 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: because uh Freeman will throw the ball down the field, 109 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: he'll stretch to feel Uh, he'll make the Niners back 110 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: up in the front seven. They're going to have to 111 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: attack this big back. Hey Marshall, we talked about the 112 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: Steelers and their injury issues off the top of the 113 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: show before he came in. Ben Roethlisberger, who left the 114 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: game last week in a boot. His got us up 115 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: in the air. Though it looks like he's gonna play, 116 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: Richard Mendenhall did in a different case. We're hearing reports 117 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: that maybe he doesn't play this week. What do you 118 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: think looking forward to the Steeler's offense as far as 119 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: these guys, go man, it doesn't look good. And it 120 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: all stems from one thing. And I watched the Steelers 121 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: last year. They uh, they were fortunate to get as 122 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: far as they did with all the injuries to their 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: offensive line. But this year, it just it just looks 124 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: to be like it's catching up with them and they 125 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: just cannot catch a break when it when it comes 126 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: to off VNTI lineman, h you even only as good 127 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: quarterback or running back as your offensive line block or 128 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: protects for you. So like right now, it just doesn't 129 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: look good for the Steelers. Um what, there's men in 130 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: hall of whichever back is back there because they're struggling 131 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: to move the football offensively. Speaking of teams that have 132 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: shaky offensive line, the Chicago Bears, you pretty much can't 133 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: watch a Bears game now, Marshall without hearing the broadcasters 134 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: say at some point during the game, Matt Forte is 135 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: going to be the Marshall Falk in this offense. Do 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: you feel like that's a little unfair and that it's 137 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: gonna be hard for Forte to put up that kind 138 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: of production considering who they have a white out and 139 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: who their offensive line is exactly, And and I feel 140 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: like the guy is capable, more than capable. Uh, he's 141 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: even talent um. He doesn't offer that for that offense. 142 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: But but you know, I'm feel bad for Matt. I 143 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: look at thankfully what the both of them are going through. 144 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: It looks like we may have lost it there we 145 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, their their offensive line. Uh and and I'm 146 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying what they put out there. The bill 147 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: is they just don't invest a lot of money on offense. 148 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: Most noted, you have Matt Forte. The guy just put 149 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: up a turner in five yard game. I had to 150 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: give him a contract instantly. They refused to pay this guy. 151 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: When when you look at when you look at on 152 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, Peppers or Lacker and breathe. 153 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, how much money can you 154 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: spend on defense? But yet yet they couldn't win again, 155 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: they couldn't. They couldn't slow on the think Marshall. So 156 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, Elliott just asked you about Matt Forte, who's 157 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: drawn comparisons to you. I don't think those are fair 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: because Marshall, listen to one of the greatest backs of 159 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: all time. But if you had to pick one running back, 160 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: that's active right now in the National Football League, both 161 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: on the field and from a fantasy perspective that may 162 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: be close to what you used to be. Who would 163 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: it be? You know two guys right now that I 164 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: watched playing. I'd say, man, those two guys are dynamic 165 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: and in all three phases of the game. Unfortunately, Matt 166 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: Forte is one of those guys. The other guy is 167 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: Fred Jackson. You know, those are two guys that regardless 168 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: of the situation, you can leave them on the field. Uh. 169 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Those two guys, Um, they've done a great job for 170 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: their respective teams. Um they carry their teams. Uh. And 171 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: and when you when you and I say it, because um, 172 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: when you can leave a guy on the field and 173 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: not have to worry about if he can pass block, 174 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: if he can get the inside yards on short yardage, 175 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: or if you can break the long one, or if 176 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: you can catch the football, that that's that's a that's 177 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: a tough thing to do in today's league. With how 178 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: they asked you to play running back in college coming 179 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: to the NFL, Marshall nother running back want to get 180 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: your thoughts on here is Arian Foster. You take a 181 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: look at the situation Houston. Now Andre Johnson out for 182 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: at least the next three weeks. He's shown he's come back, 183 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: he's healthy. How do you see this Houston Texans offense 184 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: going forward now without Andre Johnson? Well, it's a great 185 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: times Arian Foster to come back. I talked to him 186 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: before week one and he said he was ready, came back, 187 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: tweeted a little bit. I wanted to come back against 188 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: the Saints. Uh kobiad held him out and you saw 189 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: a guy who was hungry. It's it's just it's so 190 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: funny when a guy is hungary and you watch, you 191 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: watch another guy have success, and you know what you 192 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: could do in the offense. You come back and boy, 193 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: we saw that. We saw that his eyes. We saw 194 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: it in his eyes. Um, I like Arian Foster. People 195 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: are asking me, we drafted Arian Foster. What's he gonna do? 196 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: I said, listen, just give him time. Fantasy football, UM, 197 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: championships are not one and week one, two or three. 198 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, Marshall, you just referenced guys staying on the 199 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: field all the time, and fantasy owners can't stand this 200 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: running back by committee situation because you know, not one 201 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: guy is getting the carriage. Would you say that it's 202 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: hass protection is the biggest reason why coaches are shoveling 203 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: backs in and out, because some guys are good at 204 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: it and some guys aren't. That's that's part of it. 205 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: The other part is teams do not want their season 206 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: to go down the tubes when they lose a running back. 207 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: It used to be that people didn't know who the 208 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: backup running back was until the starter went down, and 209 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: now it's running back by to me, if if if 210 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: a if an owner I shouldn't say owner, a general 211 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: manager or coach could have it. They'd have a backup 212 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks up and sometimes too. But he just it messes 213 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: up the rhythm of the game for the offense compared 214 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: to how it messes up the rhythm for the running back. 215 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say this, uh right now, there's more 216 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: coaching going on in football than ever, and they like 217 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: coaches like to put players then for certain things, they 218 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: like to say, we believe you can do this, we 219 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: want you to do that only and and that's what's happening. 220 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: You have to learn how to pass protective if you're 221 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: not in there. Yeah, I don't know who to get Marshall. 222 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: Last question, my friend. Uh. We saw Chris Johnson finally 223 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: break the hunter rushing yard barrier last week. Two fantasy 224 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: owners now breathe a sigh of relief. Is this what 225 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna see going forward? The old c K two 226 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: K man breathe a sigh. Two K might be out 227 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: of reach for him. Um, I don't know if, if, 228 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: if he'll ever get back to that status, because now 229 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: he's a guy with the bulls eye on him. Teams 230 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: believe and know that. Listen, this guy he can really 231 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: hurt you. Um, he's done with preseason. He held out 232 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: the first you know, three weeks, four weeks was kind 233 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: of like preseason p M. Look for c K two 234 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: K to get it going. All right, Marshall, thanks for 235 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: your time. We'll talk to you. Sing my franks. Marshall, 236 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: thank you. All right, There goes Marshall Falk and his 237 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live on Serious two ten x M maybe seven. 238 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Ellian Harrison from the NFL Network 239 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: and NFL dot Com. How about Marshall Falk saying there 240 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: when we got we asked him, Hey, who are the 241 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: guys most like you and that could dominate? Of course 242 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: you throw out match four takes and he's happened. But 243 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: then he throws out Fred Jackson, a guy that that 244 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo could have had or easily not have had over 245 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and finally he's getting his due. 246 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: I think right now, if you're ranking the running backs 247 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: as far as what they've done this season and can continue, 248 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: you know you're throwing guys like Chris Johnson, who were tough, 249 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: and Aeron Forest who was injured. Fred Fred Jackson has 250 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: been a top three running back overall so far this year. 251 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal. He's arguably been the best draft bargain 252 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: in fantasy football this year. Uh and boy, can you 253 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: have a better matchup this week against the Eagles. I mean, 254 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: They're run defense has just been horrible. Frank Orel looked 255 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: terrible for three weeks. Played the Eagles last week and 256 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: he looked like it was five years younger. So great 257 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: matchup and Fred Jackson has really become a mustar. Wasn't 258 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: it cool though? I Mean, I've been playing fantasy football 259 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: for such a long time, Jason, you know, we we've 260 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: all we've all been really you know, into this whole 261 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: fantasy thing. It's like talking to Mohammad Ali. If you're 262 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: a boxing fan, when you talk to Marsha Falk, this 263 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: was the guy fantasy football, and his infancy was really 264 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Mark Shall. Falk was the king, he was the man. 265 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: And now that it's j it's grown into this giant. Really, 266 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: Marshall was one of the first big names in fantasy football. 267 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean, and we're all friends with Marshall. He's a 268 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: great guy. It's just so cool to talk to him 269 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: about fantasy football because of the impact that he made 270 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: on fantasy owners back in his salad days. Well, I 271 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: think the reason he was so big was March's ability 272 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: to move him around. He saw a little bit of 273 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: it with Mike Shanahan and San Francisco when he was 274 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: the O C. He would move Ricky Waters around and 275 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: sometimes Ricky Waters will line up as a receiver. The 276 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Rams had no issue playing Marshall Falk however they wanted. 277 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: He was a queen on the chessboard. And whenever you 278 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: have a back like that that you can plug in 279 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: into pass routes and you can run the ball, you 280 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: can run stretch plays, you can do different things with them, 281 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna rack up fantasy points just by virtue of 282 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: being on the field all the time, which by the way, 283 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: is something he referenced, and because the quarterbacks confidence in him. Hey, 284 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: I can dump the ball off to Marshall here and 285 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: get twelve or fifteen yards. My first year of fantasy 286 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: football was nine before first. Here I go through my 287 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: first draft. I don't know what to expect. You know 288 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: a little about what fantasies, but it seems like it 289 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. I'm going through my first 290 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: draft and Marshall Falk was drafted in the second rounds 291 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: when he was a rookie coming out of San Diego 292 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: State to Indianapolis. Nobody knew how he was gonna do. 293 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: He was drafted the second round. I'm thinking, wow, all 294 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: these great running backs and Marshall Falk has taken in 295 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: the second round. And then sure enough, for a couple 296 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: of years, Indianapolis used him, but not as well as 297 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: they could. And then here he is going to St. 298 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: Louis and he becomes a fantasy star. He stays in Indianapolis. 299 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: He never becomes that guy. Well, you know, I don't 300 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: know that, because look, they had two or three years 301 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: that they didn't know how to use him. I don't 302 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: know about that eder and James was pretty damn good 303 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: after Marshall Falk left. So I mean, clearly playing in St. 304 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Louis in the Greatest Show on Turf helped. But Marshall, 305 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I think it would have been a star regardless of 306 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: of where he was. And to be quite honest with you, 307 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: he is now sort of and always has been sort 308 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: of like that high water mark. We saw Marshall's career, Uh, 309 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, unbelievable numbers, He's a Hall of Famer. And 310 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: then you saw Priest Holmes come in there, you know, 311 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: and Priest was the next Marshall Fox. And then you 312 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: look into maybe a Sean Alexander. Oh he Now he's 313 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: like the Marshall funk guy. You know, he's the guy 314 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: the running back was putting up big numbers. But Marshall 315 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: was so great at both running the ball, catching the ball. 316 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: He had great field vision. He was elusive. I mean, 317 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: how many times have we seen old footage to Marshall 318 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: and guys are leaving jockstraps left and right onto the 319 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: football field. Uh. Just an unbelievable player. And I wish 320 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: there were more running backs in the National Football League 321 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: like Marshall Fox right now, because it would be a 322 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: heck of a lot easier for fantasy owners than having 323 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: to deal with all these backfield committees. You know, you're 324 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: talking about Marshall Falk with the Colts. One thing about 325 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: him is he was good right out of the gate. 326 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: I still remember his first game. Is that the huge 327 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: who's you're doing? Playing? The Colts are playing the Oilers, 328 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: the Cody Carlson lad Oilers for you historians out there. 329 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: But Marshall Fox first game. I've got the stats right here. 330 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: I just pulled it up. Twenty three carries, a hundred 331 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: and forty three yards, three touchdowns, one catch for thirty 332 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: one yards. So let's see, that's seventeen. That's uh thirty 333 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: five points in your first game ever Fantasy points. You know, unbelievable. 334 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: He's a guy, you know when you talked about him 335 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: being the gold standard, because I always take a look 336 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: and say, like I always look and say, who's the 337 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: hottest woman in the world. How many years can she 338 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: have that title? You know, and which I still do 339 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: that by the way, But I look at how many 340 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: years was Marshall Fault the number one overall pick and 341 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: fantasy He had a good four or five year running. 342 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound impressive when you say, well, four or 343 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: five years when you think about turnover. Now, Adrian Peterson 344 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: was supposed to be the number one overall pick for 345 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: five or seven years. Didn't happen for him. Now the 346 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: NFL is evolving, there's nobody that's had that run that 347 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: for the first five years. You know you're gonna take 348 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: Marshall Fulk number one overall. But let me just add 349 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: one thing that using your your reference about the hottest 350 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: woman in the world, maybe he's looked at as the 351 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: Angela Lansbury uh here and not the hotel by Angela 352 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: Lansbury Maturian candidate or murder she wrote, Murder, she wrote, 353 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: but that's Harrison. But I metual. There are a lot 354 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: of people out there and in fabs. I know you 355 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: can back me up on this. I'm not. Priest Holmes 356 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: is a guy that has forgotten about all the time, 357 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: and he put up monster years once fault kind of 358 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: went down. You look at Priests Holmes oh one o 359 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: two oh three seasons, you could put them up against 360 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: any running back in history. That he was great. He 361 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: was great.

Coming up next, we'll get some 381 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: starts and sits at the first bye week in the 382 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. There some quarterbacks out there you're gonna 383 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: sit and we'll tell you who to pick up and 384 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: put in your lineup. Now a hundred yards into the 385 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: last three games and no, Sean Marino has clearly gotten 386 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: into the doghouse of John Fox. And I know he's 387 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: over the hill. He's not the same running back he 388 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: used to be with the Buffalo Bills, but especially during 389 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: the bio weeks, I mean mcgahey is a is a 390 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: borderline to flex play this week again in a run 391 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: based offense, and he is seeing the touches. You've got 392 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: to roll with mcgahey. It's unbelievable. Uh, Marino must have 393 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: really done something that the coaching staff didn't like, because 394 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: this is a young guy, supposedly with some upside, who's 395 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: losing his job to a guy who's not the same 396 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: back he used to be. And and for all the 397 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: people out there, they are pruising their rosters. We've said 398 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: it before, I'm gonna say it again. Fall out of 399 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: seduction with the bigger name and in love with the 400 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: production of the guy that's getting it done and getting 401 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: the touches. And mcgahey had twenty eight carries couple of 402 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago, which surprises all. I think his performance against 403 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: the Packers surprises, and the Broncos have been able to 404 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: move the ball. I know no one thinks of the 405 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: Broncos is a decent team, but they've been able to 406 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: move the ball. Now. I look forward, though, and I 407 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: see a guy like Willis mcgahey, who right now, at 408 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: this moment time, I say to myself, viam okay. I 409 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: try to sell him really, really high because of a 410 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: couple of reasons. Number one, obviously, he hasn't had the 411 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: workload the last couple of years. He's not gonna be 412 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: able to run the ball twenty eight times again the 413 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: rest of the way. Eventually he's gonna get less carries. Eventually, 414 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos are gonna go to Tim Tebow and 415 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Tebow centric. He's gonna take running carries 416 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: away from Willis mcgis are gonna have to put him 417 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: out there to see what he does by week gate. 418 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: I like Willis mcgahey right now, I think is the 419 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: highest point he will be it. I think you can 420 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: sell him high right now. If you need a wide receiver, 421 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: need a quarterback, he can be the centerpiece of the deal, 422 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: because you know how many fantasy owners are looking at 423 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: the computers right now. We're all saying, oh wow, mcgahey's 424 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: the guy. Oh my god, I try to sell high 425 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: on Willis mcgahey. I don't disagree. I think it's a 426 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: good time to sell high. And Willis mcgahey, I don't 427 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: know how long he's gonna have that job. And at 428 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: some point, Tim Tebow is going to be the starting 429 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Broncos and we're gonna be here sitting 430 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: in the United Room talking about how Tim Tebow should 431 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: be added off for your fantasy team. Uh. And at 432 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: that point, I think the running game, at least the 433 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: value of Willis mcgahey could suffer. What are you smiling 434 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: about here? So you got to smile over there? It 435 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: looks like he did you know, he just mentioned Angela 436 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: Lansbury and hot in the same sentence. Like I was 437 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: wondering if maybe after the show he was gonna go 438 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: and hang out in front of one of the old 439 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: retirees homes here in front of like the studio and 440 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: cover centy. Catherine Ross is gonna mention, now where are 441 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: you going? I can't help but smile. Two things. One, 442 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: the United Room like it's this big, expansive like palace 443 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: that where if anybody could see the room that we're 444 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: in right now. Yeah, that's the first thing. But the 445 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: second thing is we've talked before about how this coach, 446 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: coach X does not care about your fantasy team, and 447 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: some coaches are are worse for us than others. But 448 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: I just wonder if John Fox is gonna thumb his 449 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: nose at every analyst out there and play Brady Quinn 450 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: and not Tebo. I would love it because it's just 451 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: like a four we're gone conclusion with everyone that he's 452 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: gonna play Tebow. I think Tebow is third on the 453 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: depth chart. Man. I think this is a free year 454 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: for Fox. I think, as you want to look at 455 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: your your Denver Broncos going forward, Brandon Lloyd obviously gonna 456 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: catch a lot of passes. Eric Decker is a guy 457 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm nervous and I picked him up in a couple 458 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: of leagues. Now, is he gonna wind up being Tebow's guy? 459 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: You never know. Tebow made wind up saying okay, Brandon 460 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: Lloyd is my guy. But I think from this it's 461 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: like a free year for John Fox. He's gonna play 462 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Lorton as long as he can, and then he's 463 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: gonna when he has to because the fans have to 464 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: see Tebow, then they go to Tebow. Doesn't matter what happens. 465 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: It's a free year for John Fox. I'm gonna play Orton, 466 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna play Tebow, and then next year I'll 467 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: either have one of these guys or I'll get my 468 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: own quarterback. So that's what I see going forward. There's 469 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: a lot of you own Broncos. There's a lot of 470 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: questions coming forward. I still hold on a decker, still 471 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: hold on to Brandon Lloyd. But I'm telling you I 472 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: sell a bit on the game well, and you speak 473 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: about questions, and I think there's a ton of question 474 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: marks around the Rams right now. I mean, you can 475 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: make the argument there one of the worst teams in 476 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: the league. And you know, we just found out that 477 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: that Danny Amendola is gone for the year. And we 478 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: all thought at FABS, we talked two months ago about, 479 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: especially in the PPR League, Danny Amendola, could you serious 480 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: damage this season? And uh that dream is done. Yeah, 481 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: And now you're left with a bunch of wide receivers 482 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: that you don't know who is going to see moch 483 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: targets from week one week to next. Gibson is there. 484 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, you've got Sims Walker. Uh, You've got Dnari Alexander, 485 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: who may be the most explosive guy, but he can 486 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: never stay on the field because you always got knee injuries. 487 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: You go from Amendola again, a very good PPR guy 488 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: and especially if you get points for returning and touchdowns, 489 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: to a lot of question marks. And this is an 490 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: offense I think we all thought was going to have 491 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: some fantasy value because of Josh McDaniel's thumb print. Uh. 492 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford has been a disappointment. The offensive line can't 493 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: keep him up right, And I think this is again 494 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: where fantasy meets reality, and it's it's not so much 495 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: about staying Bradford, just like it's not so much about 496 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg and Pittsburgh. But if your offensive line can't 497 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: protect the quarterback, your offense is going to go right 498 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: into the tank. That's what's happened in St. Louis. At 499 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: least part of the reason. It doesn't help that his 500 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: number one option in that past attack am and Dola 501 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: is now done for the year. And and just on 502 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: that point, you know in the preseason facts, you know 503 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: you always have to push your chips in the middle 504 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: of the table when you make prognostications because it's not 505 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: always gonna work out. And the two quarterbacks that you 506 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: really hand up where Bradford and Stafford. Stafford is having 507 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: an incredible season, Bradford is not. And it begets the 508 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: question do you drop Sam Bradford from your team? I 509 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: drive I dropped him this. You know why I dropped 510 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: him is because he was my backup. I dropped him 511 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: to pick up Kevin Cobb, who's not no great shakes either, 512 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna play Brady every week. Knock would stay 513 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 1: healthy Tom Brady. But I think with Bradford's two things. 514 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: Number one, I think he will get better this year 515 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: now that Stephen Jackson is back. But now you realize 516 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be more run centric because they put 517 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: a lot on Sam bradford shoulders. Now, he showed me 518 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: a lot last year when he was able to put 519 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: up the numbers he did with basically with Danny A. 520 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: Mandola being his number one guy for him to be 521 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: an elite level fantasy quarterback. The Rams have to go 522 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: get him help. They gotta do what the Coast died 523 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning, what the Pages do with Tom Brady. 524 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: Let's just keep bringing in weapons and keep bringing the weapons. 525 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: And for two years now the Rams have decided, well, 526 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: but we have out here is good enough. He will 527 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: never be elite until he goes and gets a couple 528 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: of guys that you can throw the football too. You 529 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: notice when you knocked on Wood about Tom Brady now 530 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: getting hurt, how quickly the sound echoed back to us 531 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: here in the expansive United from FABS, What say you 532 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: would you would you drop Bradford if there's if there's 533 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: if there's a quarterback out there that that sort of 534 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: strikes my fancy on the waiver wire certainly. I mean 535 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: I've seen Bradford dropped in a lot of leagues. It's 536 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: just not a good situation right now because of the 537 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: offensive line, was because of the loss of a mantle, 538 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: because Stephen Jackson has been banged up too. So uh defenses, 539 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, listen, it's to Josh McDaniels offense. You know 540 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: what's coming. It's it's gonna be throwing the Football nine 541 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: six three to six two x M fantasy is the 542 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: number lenn in Michigan. You're an NFL Fantasy Live. What's 543 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: your question? Yes, I have a trade UH offer that 544 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: I'd like to run by you guys, and UH we 545 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: have I have Cam Newton and of course a lot 546 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: of people like to have them. So here's my two offers. 547 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: I have one offer Cam Newton and UH Grant from 548 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay for Gore Sanchez and Owen Daniels. The other offer, 549 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: UH is to try to get Fred Jackson, that who 550 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: we really like. Uh, we give up Grant, Newton ed 551 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: Dixon and we get Fred Jackson and Owen Daniels. Who's 552 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: your other quarterback? Tom Brady? Wow? Oh, Now this is 553 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: a very smart fantasy owner who is selling uh from 554 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: from a position of strength to get a fillarette position 555 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: of weakness. I think, I mean, I like getting Fred 556 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: Jackson back. You're you're selling Ryan Grant, who's in a 557 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: backfield committee. Who knows what's gonna happen. Mike McCarthy said, 558 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: there's going to be more carry's coming in his way, 559 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: but clearly he's not on the same level as a 560 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: Fred Jackson. You're getting back Owen Daniels is gonna be 561 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: a number one tight end on your team, assuming Dixon 562 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: may have been your guy there. So I like that 563 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: to you. I really like that trade. Uh, there's no 564 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Selling Newton to get a guy like 565 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: a Fred Jackson and a tight end like Owen Daniels 566 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. I would even go this way. 567 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: It's obviously if somebody really wants Cam Newton, they want 568 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: they want Ryan Grant. I would not do the Gore 569 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: deal because I'm not a big Gore guy. I don't 570 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: think Frank Gore is gonna do that going forward. I 571 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: would do the deal, but you know what I would do, 572 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: I would say, you know what, I don't I'm not 573 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: ready to just give up Ryan Grant because I know 574 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: what the other owners trying to do. The other one 575 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: is trying to say, Okay, i'll give you Fred Jackson, 576 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: you give me Cam. You're not gonna play him, You're 577 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: gonna play Brady, and you know what, throwing Ryan Grant, 578 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: He's trying to say, well, just throwing a guy. Hey, 579 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: everybody knows that Ryan Grant is going to get the 580 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: lion share of the carries. Now, Mike McCarthy said it. 581 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: When he is healthy, he is somebody who is going 582 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: to get the ball. We need to give them, We 583 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: need to feed him. Or he said that, but he 584 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: missed the week with the Bruce Kidney. I think if 585 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: you're giving up Cam and Ryan Grant to get back 586 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, potentially you could be giving up Cam Newton 587 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: and Grant and Fred Jackson could be close to a wash. 588 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: If Grant does sees this job, I try to say, 589 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: how about Cam for Fred Jackson? Straight up? Okay, Yeah, 590 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: that sounds good. You got it.

But that was you know, 654 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: it was Adam West at the time, Okay, And I 655 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: didn't realize how horrible the acting was in that TV 656 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: show when I was watching that when I was a kid. 657 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: You remember the episode where the fake rubber shark was 658 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: biting him and he grabbed like the oceanic bat pelland 659 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: or whatever the heck it was, to spray it off, 660 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: and then the sharp fell into the ocean and exploded somehow. 661 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: So you're you're going with Christian Bale who only does 662 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: is Patman Christian Bale's Oh my god, that was bad. Yeah, 663 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: the you know what they don't have fine with Christian 664 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: Bale was totally cool with it. Just occasionally can they 665 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: pump in like a meanwhile behind the facade? Alright, starts 666 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: and six quarterbacks? Who do you like this week? Remember 667 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: six teams on a buy? Yeah, the guys. You gotta 668 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: row with Matt Stafford and Cam Newton this week. There's 669 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Both have good matchups. Matt Ryan, 670 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: He's seventeen fantasy points among quarterbacks on NFL dot Com 671 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: right now. I think he moves up against the Packers. Uh. 672 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: Their defense is a lot of the second most fanacy 673 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks. I also like Mark Sanchez. People may 674 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: think I'm absolutely crazy because the guy basically killed your 675 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: fantasy team last week, scoring negative two point nine four points. 676 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: But this is against the Patriots. They have a lot 677 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: of the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks and stuff. 678 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: I think I think you roll with Sanchez this week 679 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: if you really don't have a better option. Josh Freeman 680 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: finally got off the Schneid good start last week. I 681 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: think you him against the forty Niners, and you know, 682 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: I think Kevin Cobb is actually a good start this week. 683 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: Six teams on to buy. The Vikings have not been good. 684 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: They're allowing an average about close to eighteen fantasy points 685 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: per game to quarterbacks. So I think Cobb one week option. 686 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: I think he used him. Guys that I sit at 687 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, I'm sitting Ben Roethlisberger the offensive line. 688 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: That's enough, said Jay Cutler. He's been terrible. He's twenty 689 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: four and fantasy points. Maybe that game is a shootout 690 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: of Monday Night. I just don't trust Jay Cutler. Kyle 691 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: Lorton against the Chargers again a situation where I don't 692 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: trust him. I know Elliott loves Matt Hasselbeck, and I 693 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: think Elliot has been right on the ball there. But 694 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers without James Harrison, right, I think they're gonna 695 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: run the ball. I don't know if there's gonna be 696 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: a lot of Matt Hasselbeck during the football could be 697 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: can the Steelers have actually allowed the fourth fewest fantasy 698 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: points the quarterbacks. I mean, Matt shob didn't have a 699 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: great game last week, So I'm a little worried about Hasselbeck, 700 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: Matt Castle. I'm also Benching and Matt Shob be aware 701 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: of Matt Shob this week. In three games last year 702 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: where he played without Andrey Johnson's he averaged just under 703 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: fifteen fans two points. Not terrible, but certainly not great. 704 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: In the average about one point three touchdown passes per games. 705 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: So I think Shop, it's gonna be the Arian Foster 706 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: show there. So a couple of couple of things there 707 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: regarding Hasselbeck. I see your point for sure. But the 708 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: Steeler's weakness on defense is their corners. McFadden was hurt 709 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: last last week, we thought Hasslebeck's numbers would come down 710 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: without Kenny Britton. He actually had a very nice game 711 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: against Cleveland. That's the first thing I say regarding Shop, 712 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. And when Andre Johnson got 713 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: hurt in the first time against the Redskins in that shootout, 714 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: they played the Cowboys the next week and the Cowboys 715 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: just played single high free safety the whole time, which 716 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: meant they could use their other safety to bracket whoever 717 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: they wanted. So if Kevin Walter didn't damage. Fine, we'll 718 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: just throw other safety over there, over the top of him, 719 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: and now he won't hurt us anymore. When you can 720 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: free up his safety to cover a team's tied end 721 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: or to double another receiver, it's a huge bonus. You 722 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: can't be doing that with Andre Johnson on the field. 723 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: So I totally agree with fabs. Bat Shob's name is 724 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: great and fantasy football traditionally, but without Andre Johnson there, 725 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: it's a different offense. Yeah, he's a big sit for 726 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: me this week. He's a guy I don't put in, 727 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: especially because you take a look at what they have 728 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: over the next month with no Andre Johnson, who now 729 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: we found out is going to be out at least 730 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: three games here at NFL Fantasy Live on Serious X 731 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: and is they don't They're not playing the Saints again, 732 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: They're not playing against a team where they're gonna have 733 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 1: to light up the scoreboard. They're playing teams they can 734 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: control the football with and they'll be able to move 735 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: the football down the field. And it's gonna be a 736 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: big Arian Foster. Arian Foster will be the most valuable 737 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: player in fantasy football for the next month, and it 738 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: will be interesting in the way they're they're playing defense away, 739 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Wade Phillips is trying to change things. They're they're gonna 740 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: have to lean on the running game, and you think 741 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: they'll be in a lot of close games. But you 742 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: were talking about Kevin Cobb earlier and that I forget 743 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: you said he's not great shakes. But we have Chris 744 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: and Brooklyn on a line. Who's thinking about trading Cop Chris, 745 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: what you got? I have Kevin Shop at my quarterbacks, 746 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: Grisham uh open Jason Witten and Rex Carolsman for Kevin 747 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: cop and Uh Jason Witten. I meant, but if that 748 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: sounds to me like a trade, just to make a trade, 749 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, especially because if your quarterbacks are Cobb and Shop, 750 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: as we've just talked about Shaw being a guy that 751 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: maybe you can't trust the next couple of weeks. Not 752 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: that Cobb is great, but I'll tell you what I 753 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: think to to make a move for either of these guys, 754 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: and you're putting all your eggs in one of these 755 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: guys baskets, I don't know. I think you're okay at 756 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: tight end. I think I think Matt schab is clearly 757 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: h the number one quarterback out of that group. You 758 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: won't lose shob because Cobb and we're not rhyming here 759 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: on purpose. But I actually like getting Witten back because listen, 760 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: Candalas has been good. But I just think Witten is, 761 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, clearly the better fantasy tight end. I think 762 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: that's a good deal because what what is the He's 763 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: also got Jeremaine Gresham, though, what does the drop? Yeah, 764 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: but I mean Jermine Gresham and Witten. I mean, Witten 765 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: is definitely the guy there. You're talking about Cobb as 766 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: you're backup or Grossman as your backup. Okay, Grossman is 767 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: not as good as Cobbin too in terms of being 768 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: a backup. I don't think he's think though, I don't 769 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: think he's terrible. Uh. And I like getting Witten as 770 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: my number one tight end. Maybe I don't make that 771 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: move this week because the Cowboys are on a buy, 772 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: but I like getting Witten there. I think I agree 773 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: with both of you, but I think your last point 774 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: that listen, we we've been talking about Jermaine GRESHI and 775 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: we like the matchup against Buffalo, but let's not get 776 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. I think Jason Witten is clearly the 777 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: better player, and Jason Witten is pretty much always and 778 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: must start, So I have to agree with you there. 779 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: On FABS, we have Dwayne in Atlanta on the line 780 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: and he wants to talk trade. Dwayne yea to day. 781 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you also just want to talk 782 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: about a trade? Um, I'm giving up. How we see 783 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: Tony Gonze dollars and Mike Lawyers from Terrible But I 784 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: have my turn on, so I just want to know 785 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: how to spill about my returning gonzollars. La H. When 786 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: you're talking running back tight end, I don't really think 787 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: that it matters if if they're on the same team, 788 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: especially if they're producing. I mean, Turner's yardage might be down, 789 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: but he scored a couple of touchdowns last week against 790 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. And uh, I mean Sydney Rice. We're talking 791 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: about a cell guy, a sell high guy. Sydney Rice 792 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: could be that guy right now seeing a lot of 793 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: targets for the Seahawks, a team that I don't trust 794 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: anybody on that fantasy squad. Uh, from my fantasy squad. 795 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: So I think Sydney Rice selling high right now that 796 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: that's not a bad move. Yeah, it's not a bad move. 797 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: But I think if it's Sydney Rice versus Mike Williams, 798 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 1: it's kind of like who do you believe in more? 799 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: And as we've seen Sydney Rice come in and be 800 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: a difference in that team in the last two weeks 801 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: and now they scored they scored twenty eight points last week, 802 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say, Okay, I'll sell high 803 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: on Sydney Rice from Mike Williams. I think I need 804 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: something a little bit better back to because Mike Williams, 805 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: as much as you know we thought he was gonna 806 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: be great, he still hasn't produced like we thought. And 807 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: I think this Tampa Bay offense is gonna be more 808 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: and more reliant on le Garrett Blunt as a season goes. 809 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: It also does for Josh. It also depends on the 810 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: caller's current tight end. Is there a huge upgrade over 811 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: what he has now? That's another question. Okay, James and 812 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: Florida is molling over two trades? James, what's going on? Man? 813 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you guys doing I'm in a four team, 814 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: fourteen team uh dynasty I d pea league. We have 815 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: forty men on our roster. We do our our draft, 816 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: like we kepter the NFL draft. So waiver wire is 817 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: really really thin. But I've got um. I took over 818 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: a team for another owner. Well, I've got two different owners. 819 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: They're fighting over who's gonna give me the better deal 820 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: for Mike Wallace. I got one that offered me Brandon 821 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: Marshall and Jonathan Baldwin for Mike Wallace. And then the 822 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: other one has sent me um one for Michael Bush 823 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: and early do set um. Then he sent me one 824 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 1: for Michael Bush and his round six and round seven 825 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: pick next year. UM, and then Michael Bush into started 826 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: choice in his six round pick next year. And this 827 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: is all and this is all for Wallace. So you're 828 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: getting I don't like any of them. No, I'd rather 829 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: have Mike Wallace and all of these guys. I don't 830 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: like any of If you were giving me Marshall, Baldwin, 831 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: Bush do said end around six and seven pick, I'd 832 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: still want that, Yeah, talked yeah, And I talked earlier 833 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 1: about maybe binging Mike Wallace, but that was a short term. 834 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 1: I didn't mean that as a being indicative of his play. 835 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: It was just with the Steelers dealing with the problems 836 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: in the offensive line right now, Roethlisberger's injury right now, 837 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: Mennen Hall's injury right now. I don't think Mike Wallace 838 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: puts up huge numbers because that offense may struggle. But 839 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: long term, I wouldn't get rid of my what's the 840 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: fourth and targets right now in the league one, I 841 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: mean we're talking about early do set and Michael Bush, 842 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean even long term.

Check out Elliott's power rankings right now on 859 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: the front page of NFL dot Com. But speaking of 860 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: power guys, this is the first week of vies. We 861 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: talked about some good quarterback starts and sits a few 862 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: minutes ago. We'll get some running back starts and sets 863 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: coming up in a bit. But looking at the waiver 864 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: wire right now, I know people are saying, Okay, there's 865 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: not a lot of guys I can pick up. There's 866 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: not a lot of guys that can throw in that 867 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: flex position. There's so many people out there, but there's 868 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: some decent wide receivers out there. And for me, honestly, 869 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm stunned that guys like Eric Decker and Jordy Nelson 870 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: are still out there in about half the leagues, and 871 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: these are ten and twelve team leagues that Decker and 872 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: Nelson are out there. I don't know what people are thinking, 873 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: but I think, you know, maybe you want to turn 874 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: the page on guys you have on your roster. I mean, 875 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: I think it's fabs. It's people say, Okay, I love 876 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: these guys, who I draft them. It's still early in 877 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: this season. I don't want to turn the page on 878 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 1: Jacoby four, and I don't want to turn the page 879 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: on this guy. Think he's going to really come through. 880 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: But you've got to stop that because when you see 881 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: guys like Decker and Nelson out there, I mean, these 882 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: are guys that that you know. Decker is a top 883 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: ten wide receiver right now, and I think people also 884 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: fall in love with names. So they want to have 885 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: D'Angel Williams on their roster. Uh, they want to have 886 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: Chat out your Sinko on their roster, or maybe not 887 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: Chat anymore because he's just horrible. Uh. That happens quite 888 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: a bit, and you sort of have to look past 889 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: the name value and what they've done in the past 890 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: and look at the present and look at production that 891 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,919 Speaker 1: guys are putting up right now. I'd rather have Eric 892 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: Decker over a lot of big names at this point 893 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: in time, Uh, including a guy like Chat. Jeez. I 894 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: mean even would rather have Decker or Santonio Holmes right now. 895 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: Santonio Holme has been horrible. So you also have to 896 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: remember too, that there's always a lot of turnaround in 897 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: fantasy football, especially at the running back and wide receiver positions. 898 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: So the guys who finished in the top ten last year, 899 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of those guys are not gonna be finished 900 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: in the top ten this year. And brand Lloyd is 901 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: going to be one of the glaring options there. So 902 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 1: check the waiver wire, check yours league scoring. Check who's 903 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: putting up the big time numbers. Don't be afraid to 904 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: dump a guy even though he has a big name, 905 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: who's done diddly pooh for you. As Jim Warra would say, 906 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,959 Speaker 1: you know, Fabiano made me do to fantasy leagues, which 907 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: is way too much for my brain. I like just 908 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: having a fantasy team, so I have two teams. And 909 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: I forgot that I picked up Jordy Nelson as because 910 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to click to see what NFL dot Com 911 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: ownership is if Jody Nelson, and I was like, oh, yeah, 912 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: I forgot I picked him up for plantar smashy itis. 913 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson is now owned in eight nine percent of 914 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: the leagues. Just a couple of weeks ago that number 915 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: was Yeah. I mean Eric Decker too. He is still available, 916 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: I think, and probably around NFL dot Com leagues. That's 917 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: he needs to be owned in in just about every league. 918 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: Uh that that we're we're seeing outside of the you know, 919 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: minuscule six eight team. I'm in the league with my 920 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: sister and she starts another guy. I think, to get 921 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: ahead of the curve on because you need to get 922 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: ahead on Eric Decker, needed to get ahead on Jordy Nelson. 923 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 1: I think get ahead of the curve on Michael Crabtree. 924 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: All right, you saw the because couple of six moves 925 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: he put on Nandi awesome. While last week he was 926 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: drafted to be this kind of guy. But I think 927 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: for the first two years in the NFL from a 928 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: football from a reality to fantasy standpoint, they're trying to 929 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: figure out what kind of receiver he is. He's not 930 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: a burner, but he's a bigger guy and he and 931 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: he has great hands. I think they have kind of 932 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: figured things out in San Francisco. He's gonna be like 933 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: a Key Shawn. Guy's gonna catch a lot of passes. 934 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: They're gonna give him a lot of targets. And is 935 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: he gonna be in the middle of the field. He's 936 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a red zone guy. I think Michael crab 937 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,959 Speaker 1: he's a guy. This is if you see a big 938 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: uptick in production. Now, remember he could he could have 939 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: had a touchdown Week two against Cincinnati, but the out 940 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,879 Speaker 1: of bounds ruling, uh, you know, didn't go his way. 941 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: I think Michael Crabtre's a guy. Pick him up now. 942 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: I think you could give you some big numbers coming 943 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: up the season. And I agree. And just just to 944 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: hammer those points on Decker and crab Tree, I just 945 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: looked up Decker. He's still available in thirty nine point 946 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: five percent of NFL dot com leagues and Michael Crabtree 947 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: is available in fifty one point six percent of NFL 948 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: dot Com leagues. Those guys are out there, you know, 949 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: especially if you're in a ten team league, and and 950 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: the matchup this week is very good for crab Tree 951 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: as well. So if there is a week where you 952 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: need a wide receiver with six teams on a buy, uh, 953 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: this is the week to roll the dice on. Michael 954 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: Crabtree has maybe a three. The Buccaneers of a lot 955 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: of the eighth most Fantasy points to wide receivers this year, 956 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: and Braylon Netwards is not in the mix there. He's 957 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 1: banged up. You know, Vernon Davis is clearly going to 958 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: see his targets. But uh, Crabtree is somebody who's interesting 959 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: right now. He's very interesting.
