I am 10 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: your host, Chris Raybon, joined by my dude, Sean Kerner. 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: Sean, what's going on? What's up? 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: Happy Week eight? I would say this is mid season 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: for us, but with seventeen weeks, we're not even there yet, 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: So happy almost mid season? 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: One more? 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: If we got one more? 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: I heard things going for you pretty good. 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: Not the greatest betting week for me, But aside from that, 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: it's cool. 20 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: You know. 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: I'm enjoying the fact that we got three sports on 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: right now. We got NFL, we got baseball. I mean, 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: we got hockey too, but I don't get into hockey counts. 24 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: It counts not for me. It counts. It counts when 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: footballs over then I'll count it. But yeah, we're. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: Gonna talk some Week eight, we'll start with the Thursday slate, 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: then we'll get into our top main slate plays at 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: every position. For the Thursday slate, we got this Packers 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: Cardinals game, and we have DeVante Adams on the COVID list. Now, 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: Alan Lazard reportedly on the COVID list as well, and 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: Adam Schefter on the Monday Night Football telecast said he 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if Adams was the last hacker to 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: go on the COVID list and then Lazard went on. 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: But I mean this is a situation that's fluid. 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: We could see more guys end up on the list 36 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: before this week is over. And I mean, you know 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: a couple of receivers, you know who the receivers spend 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: time with Aaron Rodgers. So it's a it's just a 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: kind of an ugly week where you're gonna have to 40 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: really monitor the news. But what are your first thoughts 41 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: on the captain spot for Packers Cardinals given other news? 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean we have a lot to unpack here. 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: But obviously for the Packers side, we have to consider 44 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: Aaron Jones here for the captain slot. I mean they're 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: gonna lean on him. More, not only in the running game, 46 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: but also the passing game. So I think he's just 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: the no brainer captain play for the Packers. And then 48 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: on the other side, Kyler Murray, I think you got 49 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: to go with him. You know, it's tricky to figure 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: out like who to stack him with, but if you 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: captain him, you can stack him with two or three 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: pass catchers. Typically he spreads the ball around. I mean, 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: he's Kyler Murray, so he already comes a loaded with upsides. 54 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: So I think captain, I'm gonna be pretty boring here 55 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: and mix up. You know, Aaron Rodgers and Kyler Murray 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: takes some swings in my flex slots. 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, Aaron Jones is a guy that 58 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: I think is gonna be the go two guy for 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: the Packers. 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: He might even lead them in targets at this point. 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that they used him a lot when 62 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: Adams was out the last couple of years. Adams missed 63 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: a couple of games. They like to use him in 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: a passing game. I think in a sneaky captain play 65 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: is James Connor because he's he's that running back that 66 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: this line has gone from three and a half up 67 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: to six and a half, and I wouldn't be surprised 68 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: if it hits the seven, especially if the Packers get 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: anyone else ruled out. So this could be just another 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: one of those game scripts, kind of like the ones 71 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: we've been seeing at the Cardinals wait where they get 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: up big and Connor gets in the end zone one 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: way or another. So I think Connor is kind of 74 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: the sneaky play and then Aaron Jones. So I like 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: the two running backs on this one, especially since the 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: Cardinals are, like you said, difficult to figure. 77 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Out who to stack and in this one. 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: You know, the last couple of weeks they've been playing 79 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: some teams with very obvious defensive tendencies, but this week 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: Green Bay it's kind of in the middle of the pack. 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: They mix it up man zone. 82 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: I think Papkins, I know he's not practicing Monday, but 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: I think he'll have a field day and against that 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: Green Bay secondary, so he's always an option too. But 85 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: out of those secondary guys, it's not as obvious this week, 86 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: with you know, no clear tendencies for the Packers. 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: What about four cheat codes? Yeah, so cheek codes. I 88 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: mean there's a lot to choose from. I like Chase 89 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: Edmunds this week. I know you mentioned James Connor, but 90 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: it was Chase Edmonds that essentially operated as the workhorse back. 91 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: I mean he had fifteen carries versus ten for Connor, 92 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: which is really bizarre because you know the Cardinals are 93 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: blowing him out. I lost my prop bet on James 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: Connor to go over thirteen and a half carries, So 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 3: it's very tilting to see Chase Edmonds and mop up dude, 96 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 3: like I got that one wrong. But you know, Chase Edmunds, 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: he only caught one pass for nine yards, but you 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: know he ran seventy six percent routes run, so I 99 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: mean he was operating as a workhorse back. I could 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: see that happening again here. So I love Edmunds. You know, 101 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: it looks like DeAndre Hopkins is dealing with the hamstring injuries, 102 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: so certainly I'm gonna take some swings at your Christian 103 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: Kirk's aj Green run. Now, Moore zach Ertz like, you 104 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 3: can't go wrong with any of those guys, So you 105 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: know I'll be pairing two or three of those guys 106 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: with Color Murray and then you know all the excitement 107 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: is on the packers side. 108 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Of the ball. 109 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: I think when it comes to the wide receivers, I mean, 110 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: Randall Cobb is clearly the top play now, but I'll 111 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: be looking at Mariy Rodgers and Equamanius Saint Brown. I 112 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: think one of those two guys, Equanimous, you know, one 113 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: of those two guys is gonna step up. I love 114 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: Amari Rodgers. I mean he was a third round pick 115 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: this year. He was seen as sort of the Randall 116 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: Cobb replacement, and then they went out and got Randall Cobb. 117 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: So I don't know if he's gonna be the guy 118 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: that sets up here. He's a really good route runner. 119 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy that I expect only to 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: get better as his rookie season goes on. So I'll 121 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: have some Rogers flyers. But I also like Saint Brown 122 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 3: as well. And then Robert Tanyan just has massive touch 123 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: on upside without Demonte Adams, so I'll take some swings 124 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: at him. But yeah, we'll have to see how this 125 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: situation shakes out. And if you know Mark haz Velda 126 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: is scantling is able to return from the I R, 127 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: that's gonna be huge. I'll have some shares of him, 128 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: but we have a lot to unpack here, but either way, 129 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: I'll be taking some Packers through flyers here, So for. 130 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: Me, it's gonna be aj dowon. 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: I think this Packer's game point is going to be 132 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: extremely running back centric, and it's so crazy now with 133 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: Adams and Lazard out that I actually worry that even 134 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: these Packer dart throw guys are gonna be way too 135 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: highly rostered to get like unique lineups and tournaments because 136 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: like if if it stands, everyone's gonna be on Saint Brown, 137 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be on Cob and then the Cardinals are 138 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: number one in DVOA. 139 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Against tight ends. So that's not great news for Tanyaan. 140 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 2: I think, you know, he's a guy that I would 141 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: like to, you know, get in there some. But I 142 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: just think the Packers are not gonna I think they're 143 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: gonna try to run it as much as they can 144 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: and throw a ton of passes to the backs. I 145 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they go with some split backfield 146 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: looks with Dylan and Jones, uh, you know, split one 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: of them out wide, kind of have them coming in 148 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: and out depending on the project protection. So uh, I 149 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: think that's going to kind of be the guy who 150 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: may be forgotten a little bit as people look for 151 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: the wide receivers.
