1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it's Monday, October seventy two. Welcome to 2 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, nam 3 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: G Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio, and we've 4 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: got the specialists. Turn the camera on themselves. Yeah, I 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: have the camera, you know, the camera on themselves today boo. Anyway, 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: we appreciate all your working cast of dozens that help 7 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: us put on this show each and every week. At Florio, 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: I see you are rocking the Stefan dig shirt. You 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: are still basking in the glow. I know, I know 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: the season still has a long way to go, but 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: you gotta feel good about what happened on Sunday. I 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: came in this morning and I was like, look, I 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: know it's still only week six. A lot could change, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: but if things go according to plan, the af C 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: now goes through Buffalo and and I feel great about that. 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I thought about that after that game with the Bills, 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: of course winning beating the Chiefs on Sunday, and I 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: thought about it because I remember for me being back 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: in the nineties when it was the Cowboys in and 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: when those two teams played, you always felt like whoever 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: won that game in the regular season, was probably going 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: to host the NFC Championship game. And that's sort of 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: what this feels like that whoever won that game was 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: probably going to have the road to the playoffs run 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: through their stadium. So now looks like everybody's got to 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: go to Western New York to get to the Super Bowl. 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm getting way ahead of myself here, but it could 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: happen where the a f C Championship Game is not 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: only mahomes this first time playing in Buffalo, and I 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: mean January and Buffalo that's a hard place to play. 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: It could also be his first every road playoff game. 32 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: That's true. Wow, that's an amazing that's amazing thought. Absolutely 33 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: crudos to him and the Chief. So we'll see what 34 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: happens the rest of the way, but definitely a big 35 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: win for the Buffalo Bills. We got playing to talk about. 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: We'll have our biggest takeaways from Sunday. We'll go over 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: some waiver wire stuff. Also, we're gonna reevaluate our prior 38 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: some of the things that we came into the season 39 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: thinking that now that we are six weeks in, we're 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to maybe take stock of and make some adjustments. 41 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: But first let's get started with some fantasy head lines. 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: Will start in Pittsburgh. Canny Pickett left the game on 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Buccaneers with a concussion. Mitch Drubisky came 44 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: in and actually helped propel the Steelers to victory, made 45 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: a couple of really nice throws down the stretch to 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: seal the game against Tampa. So we'll see what the 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: status is going to be for Picket. Obviously, Trubisky we 48 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: know we're not starting. Does this change maybe which Steelers 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: pass catchers were starting? Though? Yeah, I think all of 50 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: them get a lower ceiling. With Mitch Dubisky, he's just 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: not as he wasn't throwing down field as much as 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett has been, and it's kind of wild to 53 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: say that, like the rookie has been the more aggressive 54 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: one of the two. I still think Deancee Johnson's in 55 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: play because even you know, with the quarterback being up 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: in the air every week, he's like their team leader 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: in targets. But like Chase Claypool had the game that 58 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I thought George Pickens was gonna have, So between those two, 59 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: I still think I prefer Pickens, but right now I 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: don't know if you can start either one of them 61 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: with much confidence. I think that's the thing the day. 62 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: Johnson is still startable, although he's been underwhelming so far 63 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: this year, but he's the guy that I still have 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: faith in. I don't know that I believe what I 65 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: saw from Chase Claypool enough to trust him going forward. 66 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: And you're right, the Trubisky Pickens connection had never really materialized, 67 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: so I think I'm staying away from it there. So 68 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Picket, whether or not he's 69 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: able to go. But right now, in concussion protocol call 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: a lot of news coming out of Arizona on Monday morning. 71 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: Let's start with Marquis Brown, who left Sunday's game against 72 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in the fourth quarter with a foot injury. Now, 73 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: X rays on the foot came back negative, but Brown 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: was seen after the game in a walking boot. However, 75 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: per our own Ian Rappaport, the Cardinals fear Brown has 76 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: suffered a serious foot injury and he is going to 77 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: miss a significant amount of time. Also of note, on Monday, 78 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals traded for Panthers receiver Robbie Anderson. Now, Anderson 79 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: seems to have an ignominious end with his old team. 80 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: He was kicked out of the Panthers game on Sunday 81 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: by interim head coach Steve Wilkes. To throw this all 82 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: into perspective, the Cardinals host the Saints on Thursday night. 83 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is off suspension and eligible to play, But Floria, 84 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the first thing is this trade for Robbie 85 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Anderson suggests that the Cardinals do have some real concern 86 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: over Marquis Brown. This is a mess right now. I mean, 87 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: if you've got Brown, if you've got Hopkins, you're not 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: confident either one of them is going to play. I mean, 89 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: I guess the question is, does this make you confident 90 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: or worried about Kyler Murray on a short week? Yeah, 91 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm worried about Kyler Murray, who the Cardinals offense looked 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: lost yesterday. It's a tough matchup in a short week 93 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: against a Saints defense. Um, I don't think you could 94 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: start Robbi Anderson this week because he's got to learn 95 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: a whole playbook and everything. He might not even be active. 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: I think, d hop if you've waited this long, I'm 97 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: okay getting him in. I'm understanding the risk that he 98 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: could be limited or something like that. Rondel Moore gets 99 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: a boost in the interm, but in the long term, 100 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: like there's no replacing Mark Brown, who has been a 101 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: top ten Wade receiver through this point. I think the 102 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: only thing that I'm thinking of is like when he 103 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: when the Hop was returning, I was expecting him to 104 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: return to like that X role and then maybe Marcus 105 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: Brown could get more shots down field opposite of him. 106 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's how Robby Anderson will be used, because 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: he could still win downfield. But for now, it's like 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: zach Ertz. I think the Hop because of who he is, 109 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: I would still trust him, and after that, I don't 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: want to trust any of the Cardinals right now. It's 111 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: definitely a mess in Arizona. Not sure how many of 112 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: these guys I really trust. And if Marcus Brown is 113 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: going to a significant time, that really is going to 114 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: impact the Cardinals offense and certainly a lot of fantasy 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: lands for a guy who had been playing some really 116 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: good football through the first six weeks. Last bit of news, 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: cam Acres looks like he has played his final down 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Rams. The news came out on 119 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: Sunday that the Rams are expected to listen to trade 120 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: offers for the running back. Of course, it was just 121 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when everybody was high on him. 122 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: It looked like he was the future in the backfield 123 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: for Los Angeles. Was expected to have a big breakout 124 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: season last year, then got hurt, came back for the playoffs. 125 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: We've talked about this plenty of times. Was just ineffective 126 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: last season, has been ineffective so far this season, So 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: cam Akers. Let's say you have cam Akers right now, 128 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: and obviously you you haven't been able to play him 129 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: because he has been bad. Do you hang on and 130 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: wait for a trade. Do you try and unload him 131 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 1: on another team? How do you handle this? I don't 132 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: know if anyone would trade anything of value for him 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: right now in fantasy at least, I think it would 134 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: depend on the size of your league. If you're in 135 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: like an eight or ten team league, I think you 136 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: just go ahead and cut Baity. Like I mean, from 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: what he's shown us so far, you're hoping that he 138 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: lands on a good team with a favorable path to 139 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: consistent weekly touches, and then then he could look like 140 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: his old self. It's a lot that would have to 141 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: go right. But I think if you're in a deeper 142 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: format where it's harder to replace people on the waiver wire, 143 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: then you could be a little bit more patient and 144 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: see where he end. I'm trying to think of where 145 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: he could go where he immediately just walks into a 146 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: whole bunch of touches. And I don't really have any 147 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: team off the top of my head where you know 148 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: there isn't already somebody there, or there aren't a couple 149 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: of running backs that are sharing opportunities. I just don't know. 150 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: If there's a place where he immediately comes in and 151 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: immediately steps to the front of the line, there will 152 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: be plenty of offers, there will be plenty of suitors 153 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: for cam Akers, but nowhere that I think immediately boosts 154 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: his fantasy value, like a team like the Texans or 155 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Giants being involved because they have a good starter, not 156 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: a lot of depth behind them. But yeah, like Touches, 157 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: maybe Miami, like over he most are teams to have 158 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: kind of locked things. It's not like he's Christian McCaffrey, 159 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: where no matter where, if McCaffrey gets traded, we know 160 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: he's going to be the RB one wherever he goes, 161 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: like Cam Akers is not that player. He's not that guy, 162 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: at least not at this point in his career. By 163 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: the way, that does mention that the Panthers say they 164 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: are willing to listen to trade offers for Christian McCaffrey 165 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to that potentially could be a lockbuster if that were 166 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: to go down. All right, let's look at our takeaways 167 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: from Sunday. As we sat and watched football all day long, 168 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: we learned some things. At least we hope we learned something. 169 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: So we came up with five takeaways from the week. 170 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: What's the first one for you? I think Travis e 171 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: t N is the Jaguars running back one. Uh moving 172 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: forward right now. For a third straight week, he has 173 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: now played more snaps than James Robinson. Uh. He had 174 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: ten carrious this past week, Robinson at ten, but e 175 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: t N had more targets for at least a second 176 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: straight game in a row. And he's just been way 177 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: more productive. A hundred and eight yards yesterday, just fifty 178 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: five for James Robinson. Robinson I know early on looked 179 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: like his old self, but he hasn't looked that way 180 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: as of late. And I don't think it's out of 181 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: the question that, like he's still working his way back 182 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: from the serious injury, the work is taking a wear 183 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and tear on James Robinson and E. T N who 184 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: has gone for over a hundred yards and two straight games. 185 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: They asked him after the game, like what he thinks 186 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: of his performance, and he's like, I need to get better. 187 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm leaving huge runs along the field. So 188 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: there is the potential maybe for him to even get 189 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: better as he continues to get more and more work. 190 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: I think they're going in very different directions right now. 191 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: It does seem that way, And like I said, I 192 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be the opposite where et N 193 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: got off to the hot start and then Robinson sort 194 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: of caught up. But it has been the reverse. But E. 195 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: T N looks like that guy in Jacksonville. Since we're 196 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: talking about young running backs, Kenneth Walker is who we 197 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: thought he was, and there was a lot of excitement 198 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: about Walker being able to take over that role after 199 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: Rashad Penny's injury, and it looked like he had a 200 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: great matchup to start and he completely took advantage of that. 201 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: A big game for the Seattle Seahawks and their win 202 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: over Arizona. And it was not necessarily the big explosive 203 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: offensive game for the Seahawks as a whole, but Kenth 204 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: Walker proved that he can handle a big workload, that 205 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: he is agile, he is explosive, he can make big 206 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: plays in the running game, and he caught the ball 207 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: a few times too. So right now, Kenneth Walker is 208 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: showing that he's a full package, and I think it's 209 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna make it interesting now. Obviously Rashad Penny is gone 210 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: for the year. We don't know what his future is 211 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: going to be, but right now it looks like Keneth 212 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Walker is ready to be the RB one in Seattle elsewhere. 213 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: What what else are you finding out after Sunday? Michael 214 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. And Alec Pierce can both be a lot 215 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: of fun in this cult's passing offense. First, like Michael 216 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. The game he had yesterday insane, sixteen targets, 217 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: thirteen catches, a hundred and thirty four yards. What I 218 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: liked is not only were they trying to take some 219 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: downfield shots with him, like you see there's but like 220 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: the short to intermediate area and letting him run after 221 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: the catch, like that's something that we hadn't seen a 222 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: whole lot of Michael Pittman Jr. The fact that they're 223 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: doing even more of that, I think only increases his 224 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: fantasy ceiling. I still value him as like a borderline 225 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver one. And then Alec Pierce seven targets, three catches, 226 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: forty nine yards and a touchdown right here, the game 227 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: winning touchdown. Like I said last week, I think he 228 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: earned Matt Ryan's trust, Like there's no way he has 229 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: not done that now. I know Paris Campbell had like 230 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: the big game out of nowhere. He does that once 231 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: every once in a while. I don't think that's gonna 232 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: become a weekly thing. But I think Piers can be 233 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: the the wide receiver too, and its second target behind 234 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. And this just makes this offense so much 235 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: better if they have two legitimate wide receivers. And when 236 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor gets back and healthy, now you've got three 237 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: real weapons and that makes you a lot harder to defend, 238 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: and that makes maybe everybody better. I'm gonna go back 239 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: to the running back train and say, Breeze Hall right 240 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: now is probably the only jet worth starting, and Breeze 241 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: Hall has been amazing. He's been absolutely electric. Another big game. 242 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: To the point that Michael Carter is you can't start 243 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: him in fantasy. I don't think you can drop him, 244 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: but you definitely can't start him right now because this 245 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: is Breeze Hall's team. The problem is Zach Wilson is 246 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: not doing anything in terms of the passing game. Garrett 247 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: Wilson has sort of vantashed. Elijah Moore had zero targets 248 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: this week. There's nowhere else to go. Tyler Conklin, after 249 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: a quick start of the season, has sort of faded 250 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: from view. So the passing game is completely nothing. Michael 251 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: Carter's not getting any opportunity. The Jets are feisty. I mean, 252 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: they are winning games, they've got a winning record right now, 253 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: but there's only one guy that you can start from 254 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: this offense at this at this point, and I think 255 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: with Brees Hall, it's not a question of is he 256 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: a RB one anymore? It's like how many running backs 257 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: would you realistically want over him right now? Exactly? And 258 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: I know the Dynasty folks loved him. He was there 259 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: RB one, and he is showing why to this point 260 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: in the season. I guess we keep the running back 261 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: running back knowledge going right now, this one is not 262 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: as fun as Breese Hall though. The Packers running backs, 263 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: they are frustrating, and I there's no rhyme of reason 264 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: to it. Like last week a J. Dillon was completely 265 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: phased out. He played around thirty percent of the snaps, 266 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: six carries, no targets, and then this past week he 267 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: had more carries than Aaron Jones ten to nine, and 268 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: he had more targets than Aaron Jones six to four. 269 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: And like, this isn't even like a game script thing, 270 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: Like this was a game the Packers were down by 271 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns for much of it. You would expect this 272 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: to be an Aaron Jones game, right, Like they're gonna 273 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot to Aaron Jones. No, here's 274 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: Dylan with six targets for eleven yards. Like I I 275 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: don't feel confident trusting a J. Dillon any week and 276 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones because of the usage that he's getting, I 277 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: think he has an RB one ceiling every week. He 278 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: could be the highest scoring running back in any given week, 279 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: But like, I don't really feel comfortable trusting him every 280 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: week as an RB one If that makes said four 281 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: touches in the first half. If I have that right, 282 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: it was. It was a ridiculously low number for an 283 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: offense that is looking for any kind of spark. It's 284 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: surprised the heck out of me, and it makes a 285 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: very frustrating offense right now. I know the Jets defense 286 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: is playing great, but Aaron Rodgers, he throws forty one times, 287 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: you expect more than two six yards in a touchdown. 288 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: The Packer offense they got issues, and they're they're three 289 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: and three right now and very much flailing offensively and 290 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: I guess defensively in some respects to We'll see what happens, 291 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: but definitely not what we were hoping for from Aaron Jones, 292 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: even in an offense that wasn't going to score a 293 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: lot of points. Top performers four weeks six in Fantasy, 294 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow went back to the Super dough and he 295 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: put up thirty two and a half Fantasy points. Dion 296 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: Jackson got a big game for fantasy managers who had 297 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: them ten catches, seventy nine receiving yards, twenty eight Fantasy points. 298 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: There Jamaar Chase, he and Joe Burrow doing it again 299 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: down there in New Orleans seven catches, a buck thirty 300 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: two and two tuddies for thirty two point two points, 301 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: Mike Kasicki with a pair of touchdowns almost twenty five 302 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: fantasy points. Will let's got you four field goals fourteen 303 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: points there, and the Seahawks defense taking advantage of Arizona 304 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy points for them. But let's go back and 305 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: talk about that Bengals duo, specifically Jamaar Chase, because people 306 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: were frustrated he hadn't put up one of those big games. 307 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: And you are very much pro Jamar Chase, saying, you know, 308 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: you should try and acquire this guy at least if 309 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: you have them, hold on to him and be patient. 310 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: If somebody's feeling nancy, maybe you try to acquire him. 311 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: And yesterday we saw the reason why. Yeah, I think 312 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: it's just one of those situations where Jamar Chase is 313 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: just far too talented to be held in check. Especially 314 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't like his targets were down. His targets to 315 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: actually up this year compared to last year, so is 316 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: his air yard. So like at some point, you know, 317 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Jamar Chason Joe Burrow are just too talented to be 318 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: held in check and hopefully you try to go out 319 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: and get him because the bylow windows slam shot. Yes, 320 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: yesterday's price is not today's price. After what happened. Anybody 321 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: who was frustrated or a little bit antsy about him 322 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: is probably not feeling that way anymore. So you're going 323 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: to have to pay a higher price. Matt Ryan finally 324 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: put together a huge fantasy game, and you talked about 325 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: Pittman and Pierce and what that means for the Colts offense. 326 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: At least for one week, it meant really good things 327 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan. Do you look at this as a 328 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: one week thing or is this maybe the start of 329 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: something new with Mattie Ice. I think you could be 330 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: hopeful that it's the start of something new. I mean, 331 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us forget that this offseason 332 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: was like the craziest ever and a lot of these 333 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: pieces are still jelling together in the first month of 334 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: the season. Um. But the big thing for Matt Ryan 335 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: is next week he gets the Tennessee Titans, who have 336 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: allowed a ton of fantasy points to quarterbacks and receivers, 337 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: so with there's also a lot of good quarterbacks on 338 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: buy next week. I think Matt Ryan is in play 339 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: as a streaming option. It's it's nice to see him 340 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: sort of flashback to the Matt Ryan we saw all 341 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: those years in Atlanta. And to your point, I mean, 342 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: he sort of got moved when it looked like the 343 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Falcons were going heavy after Deshaun Watson and he said, well, 344 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: then if that's the case, then I don't want to 345 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: be here anymore. And so there is sort of that 346 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: adjustment period to a new offense and new coaching staff, 347 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: a new group of wide receivers, and at least for 348 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: one week, it looks like Matt Ryan was able to 349 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: put it all together. We all said this week was 350 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: going to be Stevenson seasonson, and it absolutely was. Seventies 351 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: six rushing yards for Remindra Stevenson, two touchdowns on the ground, 352 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: also four catches for fifteen yards. Look, as long as 353 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: Damien Harris is out of action, this is undoubtedly remind 354 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: Ra Stevenson's backfield. And and he's a guy that belongs 355 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: in starting lineups as long as he is that guy. Yeah, 356 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: I think as long as Damian Harris's sideline, Remandre Stevenson 357 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: is like a what top fifteen running back something like that. 358 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: I think he's like a high end RB two that 359 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: brings in weekly RB one side and because of what 360 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: he's doing not only on the ground, but in the 361 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: passing game as well. He was dubbed La Garrett Blunt Jr. 362 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: When he was drafted, and he's looking the part right now. 363 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: He is. He's been outstanding and we love what he 364 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: does in the passing game. But the two Russian touchdowns 365 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: a big deal as well because that had been Damian 366 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,239 Speaker 1: Harris's domain. So as long as it's as long as 367 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: it's just one guy, Stevenson very much startable. The Seahawks 368 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: defense six sacks, two takeaways, And maybe maybe this is 369 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: less about the Seahawks defense because they have been gouged 370 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: all year long. Maybe this is more about the Cardinals 371 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: offense that continues to underwhelm. I tweeted that the Seahawks 372 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: has been giving up nearly thirty one points a game. 373 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: The Cardinals scored nine, So I guess I guess some 374 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: credit to the Seahawks defense, but more like what is 375 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: going on with his Cardinal's offense? You think the Cardinals 376 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: are like trying to check Cliff Kingsbury's contract that they 377 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: just gave him to see if like they have an 378 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: out somewhere someone, because I mean they're game Like, what 379 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: is their game plan? Their game plan is to come 380 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: out and and fail for three quarters and then hope 381 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray bail them out in the fourth quarter. 382 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: And I mean Kyler did not play well yesterday either. 383 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to give him a pass, but like 384 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: it's a lot to try to save your team every 385 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: single game from being behind, and like something needs to 386 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: change in Arizona. But my question now is, like short 387 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: week markets Brown's up in the air, are the Saints 388 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: a streaming option on Thursday night? They might be, They 389 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: very well might be, just because of all the things 390 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned. You mentioned, we talked about, you know, DeAndre 391 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: Hopkins and what his availability is going to be. There 392 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: are a lot of questions with Arizona right now, and 393 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: so maybe you do look to stream the Saints defense 394 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: if you have them or if they're available somehow on 395 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: your waiver wire this week. So while we are talking 396 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 1: about disappointment, so let's talk about some of the biggest 397 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: disappointments of the week. And I guess we're still staying 398 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: in the Arizona Seattle game. When you talk about disappointments. Yeah, 399 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: I was pretty high on DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett 400 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: this past week and Gino Smith as a whole, and 401 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: that and that just passing game disappointed this week. Thirty 402 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: one past attempts for Gino Smith less than two hundred 403 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: total yards DC at seven targets, which you like to see, 404 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: two catches for thirty four yards and for much of that, 405 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: Like at halftime, I was like, why are they not 406 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: throwing the ball to DK Metcalf And then Tyler Lockett 407 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: five targets, two catches, seventeen yards. He had been thriving 408 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: against his Cardinals defense. So Cardinals defense that we talked 409 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: about a lot coming into this week, markets like you 410 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: could score on them. They're very fantasy friendly, but they 411 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: just were able to ride Kenneth Walker and really the 412 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: game was never in doubt in the second half, so 413 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: they were able to take their foot off the gas. 414 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: It was weird to see because usually seattles in the 415 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: opposite of that. But I think better days are ahead 416 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: for the for this passing game. I think so. And 417 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: it was a thing we've talked about with Gino Smith 418 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: where he's been playing really well and at some point 419 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: you knew there was kind of a speed bump coming. 420 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: Didn't see it happening this week, but so be it. 421 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: It is certainly what happened, and it's frustrating. I know 422 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: if you started him where, if you started any of 423 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: his wide receivers. Similarly, we were all systems go with 424 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: the forty Niners offense against Atlanta. Jeff Wilson had a miserable, 425 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: awful day, just point five fantasy points. He didn't get 426 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: you awful point this week. It started early with a 427 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: fumble that was returned for a touchdown. Just never could 428 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: get it going. The forty Niner offense as a whole 429 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: really struggled to get anything going. But you see seven 430 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: carries twenty five yards, a lost fumble, just a bad 431 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: day for Jeff Wilson. And then once the Niners got 432 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: down by a couple of scores, really was hard for 433 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: them to try to run the football against Atlanta. There 434 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: are definitely better days coming for the San Francisco running game, 435 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: but this was This is when it feels like a 436 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: missed opportunity, because this one felt like a really good 437 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: chance to get Jeff Wilson and just nothing happened this 438 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: week and it's two weeks in a row now, Like 439 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little bit worried about him moving forward 440 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. I mean, you know, I 441 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: don't know how close we are to Elijah Mitchell coming 442 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: back or any of these other guys there. But you're right, 443 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: the running game has not really been particularly great for 444 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: San Francisco the last couple of weeks. There were some 445 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: mistakes made over the weekend. There are people to be blamed. 446 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: Let's get some of your foul ups sent to us 447 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy from Fomb's tent one. Isaiah Mackenzie over 448 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: Dion Jackson. I mean, I I guess I get it 449 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: because the Bills game was supposed to be high scoring, 450 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: but once once Jonathan Taylor was ruled out, it felt 451 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: like this was a Deon Jackson day. Yeah, I think 452 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: that's on you a little bit. Like I and Isaia 453 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: Mackenzie had such a rough game yesterday, Like it's twofold. 454 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: I did take some flak on Twitter because I said 455 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: I would play like Devin Singletary over over Dion Jackson 456 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: and that didn't work out great. But uh, I think 457 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: the lesson here is no matter who the Colts running 458 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: back is, Matt Ryan will throw them. They will throw 459 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: them the ball. I would never have imagined ten catches 460 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: for Dion Jackson. That nope, because I think when I 461 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: looked at the box score, I saw that he had 462 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy points. I looked at the box score, 463 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, he only has forty something rushing yards. Was like, oh, 464 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: look at that. I scrolled down a little more. I 465 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: see he has ten catches. Let's move on to this 466 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: one from NFL Fan, aren't we all started Curtis Samuel 467 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: with the crying face emoji. I feel your pain. I 468 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: did the same thing in multiple leaks. There you go, 469 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: so that makes you feel I guess that probably doesn't 470 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: make you feel better, but at least you know you're 471 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: not alone in your misery with that. I look, Kurs 472 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: saman had been very good, so I sort of understand 473 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: led him in targets. For what it's worth, they just 474 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: he didn't know he if he catches that long touchdown 475 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: that clearly was he was open and it just went 476 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: through his arms. Like we're celebrating Curtis Samuel right now. 477 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: He was fighting the football on Thursday night. This one 478 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: from night. My biggest mistake was not checking the bye 479 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: weeks during the draft. I had four players starting that 480 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: were on by five others on the bench. You know what, 481 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's a terrible thing. I mean, yeah, 482 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you took the loss and you probably got 483 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: smoked and it probably didn't look good. But in that case, 484 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: just take the L that one week and just roll 485 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the weeks. Yeah, now you have twelve 486 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: weeks where you're gonna have your old roster where the 487 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: rest of your league, like from here on until week twelve, 488 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: they're going to be dealing with byes and you're you're good, 489 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: and you basically got a Sunday off, like you don't 490 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: have to stress. You were like I could just sit 491 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: back and know I'm taking my l this week and 492 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: I'll get back to it next week. I I've never 493 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: been one to really stress out over making sure I 494 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: diversify my bye weeks. I just want the best players 495 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: to put together the best team. And if I have 496 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people on by then sometimes you 497 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: just you just swallow it and you just take the l, 498 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: especially because how much is your team going to change 499 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: over the course of the season, waivers and trades and 500 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: injuries and all that all that. So yeah, don't worry 501 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: about it, don't sweat it too much. I think everything's okay. 502 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: Last one this is from Chase MVS. That's it. That's 503 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: the tweet. Yeah, I don't know that the Chiefs wide 504 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: receivers are are frustrated. Juju finally had a big game 505 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and that came on a completely broken play that long touchdown. 506 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: Yead like it. I just I still don't like if 507 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: I have Juju right now. I think I'm trying to 508 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: trade him rather than feel good about getting him in 509 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: my starting to sell high up or tunity for Juju 510 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: because if you watch that touchdown, like legitimately three defenders 511 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: right behind him run into each other and then he's 512 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: just like, oh man, I'm open. Yeah, it's gonna be 513 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: like this all year long with the Chiefs wide receivers, 514 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: and Mahomes warned us, he told us this is what 515 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: it was going to be running backs as well, running 516 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: backs as well. There's just not gonna be any consistency 517 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: besides Travis Kelsey. So this might this might not be 518 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: the last time you tweet the letters MVS this may 519 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: happen to you again. We are going to step away 520 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: for a moment. When we come back, we're gonna look 521 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: at some of the things that we thought early in 522 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: the season and think about what we think of them now. 523 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: A lot of thinking going on. That's next on the 524 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show.

So 532 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: we are pretty much through six weeks of the season. 533 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: There are still one more game to be played on 534 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Monday Night. But I feel like this is a good 535 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: time for us to go back to some of the 536 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: things we thought before the season started, look at what 537 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: we did that maybe wasn't quite right, and how we 538 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: sort of adjus going forward. So let's start with what 539 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: was your preseason take that you've had to reconsider now. 540 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: I was so vocal about it too. That's the worst 541 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: thing about it. I tweeted about it, I did podcasts 542 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: about it. It's Kyle Pitts in the third round, no 543 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: matter what. Like I thought Kyle Pitts would be right 544 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: up there with Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews. In fact, I 545 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: thought he had higher upside than those guys as well, 546 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: And I didn't factor in that Arthur Smith was gonna be, 547 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, trying not to use his best players. He 548 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: did score a touchdown last night, and the Falcons had 549 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: this awesome tweet right here where this fan just comes 550 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: running down the stairs rips open his like button Superman 551 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: style right like it could not have got more perfect 552 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: than he's got the Kyle Pitts jersey. After under it, 553 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: he celebrates with another person in the Kyle Pitts uniform. 554 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I wish there was a camera 555 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: on me when Kyle Pitts scored this touchdown, because I 556 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: legitimately jumped off of my couch and was like celebrating 557 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: like I had just called a touchdown. Um. The thing 558 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: with Kyle Pittstoll right now, Marcus is like, I don't 559 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: think you could trade him? Yeah, I wouldn't draft him 560 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: in the third round if I can now, but I 561 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: have him on my rosters because I did take him. 562 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: So I think I'm just gonna ride it out with 563 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. They're not gonna be playing with the lead 564 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: every game. Like next week they get the Bengals, who 565 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: have struggled against tight ends. I'm I'm still hopeful in 566 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, but yet third round was a huge swinging miss. 567 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Yes, he's not giving you what you 568 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: expected when you drafted him, if you spent a third 569 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: round pick on him, but at this point, when you 570 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: figure there are only two real productive tight ends in 571 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: fantasy football, he essentially it is no worse off than 572 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: anybody else that you were probably starting on a week 573 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: to week basis. The floor is low, the ceiling is 574 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: probably pretty low. There's a wide amount of variants in there. So, yeah, 575 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: you're not happy with Kyle Pitt's production right now, but 576 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: you can't who are who are you going to move 577 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: on from Anna six weeks? Right now? Travis Kelsey is 578 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty one in Fantasy points. Mark Andrews 579 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: has a hundred and fifteen. No one else has eighty 580 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: at the tight end position. That's brutal. And we talked 581 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: about the advantage. Only one other tight end has over 582 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: seventy like a J. Hawkinson, isn't it Zach? Zach's why 583 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: he passed them up after after yesterday, like Travis Kelsey 584 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: is like seventy points ahead of the tight end five. 585 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: It's that is brutal. Well for me, I thought Russell 586 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: Wilson was ready to ride in Denver. I mean he 587 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: had pulled out the life. We all knew. The Broncos 588 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: country Let's Ride thing was corny, it was forced, but yeah, 589 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: we went. We went with it because it seemed like 590 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: things are going to happen in Denver. And they have happened, 591 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: just not in a good way. The Broncos offense has sputtered. 592 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has given you one good game in Fantasy, 593 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: and even that was not a great game. It was 594 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: just an okay game. Other than that, it's been an 595 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: absolute mess. Courtland Sutton has been really the only pass 596 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: catcher you can trust. Javontae Williams going down certainly change 597 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: some things in that passing game. And now you're stuck 598 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson, where you can't play him every week. 599 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: But you're also if you haven't, I mean, maybe you're 600 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: dropping him if you're in an eight or ten team league. 601 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: Beyond that, you don't really want to put him back 602 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire just in case things happen. So 603 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: now you're really stuck trying to stream or platoon quarterbacks 604 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: every week in a situation where you thought, hey, look, 605 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend up for a top level quarterback. 606 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one of these sort of second tier 607 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: guys in the middle rounds, and I'm gonna ride with him, 608 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: no pun intended, and have it be good all season long. 609 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Russ has completely submarine to that idea. And now if 610 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: you've got Russell Wilson, you are out on the waiver 611 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: wire scrounging trying to find a week to week replacement 612 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: because you just can't trust him at this point. Yeah, 613 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: and and you were far from the only one who 614 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: who believed in Russa. I mean, we've seen him on 615 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: Prime Time every single week because we thought that this 616 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: offense was gonna be great for fantasy. And I think 617 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: right now the only thing we have to hold our 618 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: hat on is maybe this shoulder injection helps him and 619 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: he plays better. How so, hopefully he's he got some 620 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: adamantium or something put in that that arm. I don't 621 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, but it's been rough to start 622 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: the season. So now we've gotten through that, we are 623 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: a third of the way through the NFL season. What 624 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: strategy adjustments would you make for your rosters for the 625 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: rest of the way. I would be looking to trade 626 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: my RB one for a wide receiver one right now, 627 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: because you talk about like Russell Wilson struggling, Aaron Rodgers 628 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: has struggled a lot, Matt Stafford, a lot of different 629 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have struggled. So there's not nearly as much depth 630 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: at the receiver position, at least towards the top of it. 631 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: There's a whole clump of like players who in any 632 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: given week can give you similar numbers, but at the 633 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: top it's very very limited. So yeah, I understand, like 634 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: if you have a Barklay or an Eckler or CMC, 635 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: you might be hard pressed not want to give them up. 636 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: But there's very few elite wide receiver ones right now, 637 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: like digs cup Heill. I'll put Jefferson in there, Chase um, 638 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: I think like aman Ra st Brown could be in 639 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: that mix, but like like the wide receiver depth is 640 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: not what it was coming into the year, and the 641 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: running back Like every week there's a new RB one 642 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: you can grab on the waiver wires, So I would 643 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: be looking to make that trade trade m RB one 644 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: and get an elite a wide receiver one if possible. 645 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: I think we're seeing very much a stratification at some 646 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: positions where there are elite guys that are head and 647 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: shoulders above everybody else. And you talk about wide receivers, right, 648 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: You've got Cooper Cup, You've got Justin Jefferson, those guys 649 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: who were just light years out in front of everybody else. 650 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: And then you have a whole group of guys that 651 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: are good but not great that kind of like you said, 652 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: they have the potential any given week to be wide 653 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: receiver ones, but maybe sort of profile as more fringe 654 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: or more high and wide receiver twos. There's a whole 655 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: lot of those guys and makes for some frustrating I 656 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: think lineup setting because you don't know week to week 657 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: who my best teams right now are the ones where 658 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: I took like coup or digs in round one and 659 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: like the ones where I took a running back and 660 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: round one, those are the teams that I'm like, like, 661 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: this team needs some help right now right So along 662 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: those lines, though, if you were lucky enough to get 663 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: one of the top running backs, if you have a 664 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: say Quan or An Eckler or a CMC, I would 665 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: actually try to acquire some of those other sort of 666 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: underwhelming RB ones, those guys that people spent a high 667 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: draft pick on, who might be frustrated with those guys. 668 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: So I'm looking looking at a Nagy Harris, looking at 669 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: a James Conner, maybe a Joe Mixon, those guys who 670 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: are out here getting high usage but maybe aren't putting 671 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: up fantasy numbers. I wouldn't do that. Look, if you're 672 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: running back situation is sort of a mess. I don't 673 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: think you go out and add these guys. You don't 674 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: need to add more headaches to your roster. But if 675 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: you have at least one running back that you feel 676 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: good in, why don't you go and try to add 677 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: these other guys, Because at some point you gotta feel 678 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: like the usage is going to help the production. That 679 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: Nagy Harris isn't going to be this bad all year 680 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: long that Jay Connor, when he gets healthy, will start 681 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more productive. And once that happens, 682 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: then you're looking at a case where you have a 683 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: really solid running back roster heading into the fantasy playoffs, 684 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: because there are gonna be some teams in your league 685 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: that are needing help right now and might be willing 686 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: to part with a guy that is really frustrating for 687 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: them and that helps you down the long run. So 688 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, take a look at your roster, see where 689 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: you are, see how your position in terms of the postseason, 690 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: and maybe you can add that running back depth that 691 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: will be very crucial for you once you get to 692 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: the postseason. So looking at this and looking at what's 693 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: happened so far this season, let's kind of spin it 694 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: forward to next season. When you're talking draft strategy, what 695 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: are you going to think about doing next year that 696 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't do this year. I think it's time 697 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 1: to stop being afraid to pay up for the elite 698 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: options at the quarterback position. And I was just saying 699 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: earlier about how much of an advantage Travis Kelsey is 700 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: at the tight end position, But you look at quarterbacks 701 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: right now, Josh Allen has a hundred and seventy three points. 702 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: No one else has a hundred and fifty, and then 703 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: like there's a bigger there's a huge fall off after 704 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: the top four as well. So, like I put it 705 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: on Twitter last night, I said, Josh Allen spend the 706 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: QB one two years in a row. He's currently the 707 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: QB one right now. He has one game under twenty 708 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: five Fantasy points all year and that's twenty three. Uh, 709 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: and there's no other quarterback within twenty five Fantasy points 710 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: of him. Is he a first round pick in one 711 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: quarterback leagues next year? And it's yes and no. And 712 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, at some point, I know you talk about 713 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 1: this all the time, like there needs to be an 714 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: advantage to drafting the best player at the quarterback position, 715 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: and I think it's finally here with Alan being this 716 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: much better than the rest of the pack. That's the 717 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: part of it too, because everybody talks about the reason 718 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: you don't go early is because the opportunity costs. What 719 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: are you missing and what's the positional value? But if 720 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is this much better than everybody else at 721 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: the position, that his positional value suddenly gets a real 722 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: kick gets a real boost, and now the opportunity costs 723 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: for drafting him versus say taking a top end running 724 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: back or a top end wide receiver, maybe that opportunity 725 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: cost isn't quite as great. And I feel like this 726 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be a conversation for the rest of the year. 727 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of it has to do with what 728 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: Alan finishes as or how much ahead of the pack 729 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: he potentially finishes this year, but it's gonna be an 730 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: interesting question. And I think it also trickles down to 731 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and to Lamar Jackson. How high are we 732 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: willing to take them? Are you willing to spend a 733 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: second round pick on a Jalen Hurts? That's the beautiful thing, 734 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: Like I think because of how our fantasy community and 735 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: brains are wired, like, no one's gonna want to be 736 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: the person that takes Josh Allen in the first round. 737 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: So if you're able to get him in like the 738 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 1: second round and then you pair him with an elite 739 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: guide to another position. If that's the case, next year, 740 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: I will probably have a lot of him. And he's 741 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: a player that I had none of this year because 742 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not reaching for a quarterback, but 743 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: there's an advantage at some point between that and the 744 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: top end tight end, and you talked about the gap 745 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: between Kelsey and you know, the guys behind him. I 746 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: I tweeted this today that maybe next year I'm gonna 747 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: go round one Mark Andrews round to Josh Allen and 748 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: then I'll figure out the rest. If someone out there 749 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,959 Speaker 1: right now has Kelsey and Allen on their roster, they 750 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: they have such an advantage that the rest of the 751 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: league does not. They're they're running away with it, probably 752 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: earlier on this season. So for me, what I really 753 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: want to do next year is target players that are 754 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: an up up tempo offenses, but up temple offenses that 755 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: move the football. There are a lot of teams out 756 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: there that are running tempo and are going fast. Not 757 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: all of them are going anywhere. Sometimes you're running tempo 758 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: and you're going three and out and that's no good. 759 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: But part of the reason we love the Bills offense, 760 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: part of the reason we love the Chiefs is because 761 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: not only are they going fast, but they're also able 762 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: to consistently move the football. And that doesn't mean you 763 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: score a touchdown on every single drive, but it does 764 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: mean that you're moving the ball, you're getting first downs, 765 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: you're staying on the field. It's part of the reason 766 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: that the Seahawks have become an interesting offense to have 767 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 1: because they have gone more up tempo, and on top 768 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: of it, they're actually possessing the football, They're getting the 769 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: ball down the field, they're sustaining drives, and these are 770 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: the things we're looking for. It's what we saw out 771 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: of the Bengals last season, and so I think that's 772 00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: the thing that we start to look at when you 773 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: start to get into the offseason and you're looking back 774 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: on last year, what are the teams that that played 775 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: up tempo, but also we're consistently moving the football, Because 776 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: sure the Jaguars are playing a little bit faster, but 777 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: if they're going three and out all the time, it 778 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: doesn't make them quite as interesting. Similarly, you look at 779 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: a team like the Green Bay Packers, where in the past, yeah, 780 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: they were moving the football, but they weren't quite as 781 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: up tempo, and so because of that, you had limited 782 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: options there. So I think when you're talking about drafting 783 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: players and you're you have a couple of guys that 784 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: you are sort of fifty fifty on. I think the 785 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: speed of their offense really is gonna have a lot 786 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: to do with who you're drafting next year. I think 787 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: that's really and just like, yes, it has to be 788 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: on a good offense. I think that's the good caveat 789 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: because I remember a friend over the show, Grand Barfield 790 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: tweeting like after Week three that the Panthers were like 791 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: top three in pace but bottom three in plays ran 792 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: And I'm like, that is what you don't want to be, 793 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: but it's true, Like you just want players on productive 794 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: offenses that are going to get the most opportunities each week, right, 795 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: And I know it sounds simple, right, like pick plick 796 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: players from good teams, but I think some times we 797 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: look around, and especially with wide receivers, right, we fall 798 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: into the hey, man, somebody's gotta catch the football argument 799 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: a lot, and that doesn't always work out. Yes, you 800 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: get outliers like Christian McCaffrey, who was really good on 801 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: a bad offense, but more often than that, those guys 802 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: just tend to be mediocre at best. Not only is 803 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: it someone's got to catch the ball here, but it's like, 804 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: but look, there's three receivers on this good offense. It couldn't. 805 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: But it's like, but when they're running that many plays 806 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: per week and the offense is that good, there is 807 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: enough to sustain multiple options. All those guys can usually eat. 808 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 1: We love Cincinnati for for so much in the draft. 809 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: Let's get some of the top waiver wire targets for 810 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: the week. Florio who's on your list, Trevor Lawrence who 811 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: played really well this past week. Marcus Mariotta who continues 812 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: to do it with his legs, and it is a 813 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: good matchup against the Bengals. Justin fields, I don't love 814 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: the matchup, but if you're going a little bit deeper 815 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: at quarterbacks, same thing with Danny Dimes there against the 816 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: Jags next week. Running backs Kenyan Drake because j K 817 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: Dobin's knee was bothering him yesterday and Drake played really well. 818 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: Brian Robinson, don't forget about what he did on Thursday night. 819 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: Dion Jackson. I know he's not useful if if Jonathan 820 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: Taylor returns, but have him on your roster because of 821 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: what he did this past week. And then some wide 822 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: receivers Alec Pierce. I think it's the top receiver to grab. 823 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney if he's available in your league getting more 824 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: work as of late. Wandale Robinson returning this week, scored 825 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown Rondell More because Marky's brown is up in 826 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: the air right now. And then Evan Ingram getting more 827 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: work and in a revenge game next week, Big Bob 828 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: touny In getting more volume. And then Kata and the 829 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: tight end has been getting more work in Tampa Bay. 830 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: And unfortunately we saw Cameron Brad exit yesterday due to injury. 831 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: You keep an eye on Cameron Braid, but yeah, it 832 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: didn't look good for him. So they could mean some 833 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: more opportunities for ka dot And by the way, you 834 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: want some more in depth analysis on some of these 835 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: waiver Wire picks, be sure to check out Matt Okada's 836 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: column nfl dot Com Slash Waiver Wire comes out every Monday, 837 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: so click over there and give that one a look. 838 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: But let's talk about some of the guys that were 839 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: on this list here. Kenyan Drake you mentioned he really 840 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: got a big opportunity because is J K. Dobbins knee 841 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: got stiff. The Ravens were taking it cautious with him. 842 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: We still aren't sure when Gus Edwards is going to 843 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: be back. I will take a little bit of pride 844 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: in saying that I grabbed Kenyan Drake as an emergency 845 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: start and it certainly worked out. Didn't think it would 846 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: work out for nearly twenty fantasy points. I would have 847 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: been happy with like nine or ten. But this does 848 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: beg the question. Can we see Kenyan Drake maybe getting 849 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: more opportunity even when j K. Dobbins is back and 850 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: ready to go? I think so because like j K Dobbins, 851 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: I mean if if, and he's getting stiff and we're 852 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: still worried about him, and like that, that's a legit 853 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: concern moving forward, right, And Kenyan Drake has shown us 854 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: that he can be an effective running back. I mean, 855 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of different people show us that 856 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: they can be effective running in this Lamar Jackson offense. 857 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,720 Speaker 1: But Drake played great yesterday. He he handled a bunch 858 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: of steps. I mean j K. Dobbins really we didn't 859 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: see him again after the first quarter, and I was wondering, like, 860 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: what is going on. He's someone that I was talking 861 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: up this week. I like the matchup, and now I'm 862 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: just like, if I don't have j K Dobbins many places, 863 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: but if I have him, like, how can you really 864 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: feel good about starting him next week? I have him 865 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: in a couple of places, not a ton, but I 866 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: do have him in a couple of lineups, and I 867 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: do have to wonder, like what is the issue and 868 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 1: how cautious are the Ravens going to be with him? 869 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: But what you saw at Ken and Drake also reinforces 870 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: that Baltimore wants to run the football. And I think 871 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: they've been very heavy on Lamar trying to throw it, 872 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: which seems great until you remember that their wide receiver 873 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: group is okay, it's not special, And so now that 874 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: you wonder if they get back to basics running the football. 875 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: Brian Robinson you mentioned, Look, it wasn't a pretty game 876 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: against against the Chicago Bears last week. Washington did pull 877 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: it out, but it does look like Brian Robinson is 878 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: ready to sort of take over in that Washington backfield. 879 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: I know we saw a little bit of Antonio Gibson, 880 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: but it looks like the rookie it's sort of ready 881 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: to roll back there. Yeah, I think he is the 882 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: top Washington commanded running back to roster um. He led 883 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: them in snaps seventeen carries there that being said, I 884 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: still think he's just a flex option right now until 885 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: he shows us more. Scored a touchdown to get in 886 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: double digit fantasy points, but this was a game where 887 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: it was closed throughout. I'm not sure the Commanders are 888 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: going to be playing with the lead in many games, 889 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: especially next week against the Packers. UM. I think Robinson 890 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: is a flex guy because when they're trailing, we know 891 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of J. D. Mckissic and 892 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. I think is borderline droppable at this point, 893 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: definitely droppable. I thought I was thinking the same thing 894 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: about Antonio Gibson, but he did get some work last week, 895 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know where I stand on 896 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson at the moment. Also of note, Carson Wentz 897 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: injured that hand, might have a fracture in his finger. 898 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: Is supposed to be getting more tests this week, so 899 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 1: we'll see what his status is as we get closer 900 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: to the end of the week. Ron Dale Moore, we 901 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: kind of talked about the Cardinals and Marquees Brown and 902 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: his injury situation there. Rondal Moore has been playing okay, 903 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily great, but he got almost eleven Fantasy points 904 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: this past week. He's never gonna be a huge part 905 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 1: of the Arizona passing game, but if the Cardinals figure 906 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 1: it out, Rondal Moore does at least have some path 907 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: two targets there and at least in deeper league feels 908 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: he's worth an ad Yeah, I think so. I think 909 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: if markets Brown didn't get hurt yesterday, I wouldn't really 910 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: be too excited about Rondell Moore with with the hop returning. 911 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: But we don't know the status of markets Brown, so 912 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: so Rondell Moore's role might not really change. It might 913 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: just be like, all right, there's a new number one here, 914 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: but I'm still playing this complimentary role. I think when 915 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: they're fully healthy, more takes a big hit. But who 916 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: knows how long what what markets Brown is dealing with 917 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: right now. I also would love to see them use 918 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: more kind of more down field supposed to just screen 919 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: pass his little swings whatever they like. Last year he 920 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: had the lowest air yards per target. I think in 921 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: the his inextion sense history, like, let let this guy 922 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: like that's what we're excited about him coming out of college. Yeah, 923 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: he's he's a glorified running back. Basically, they just used 924 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: him as a pass catching back almost and that's sort 925 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: of weird. You mentioned Big Bob Tonyan, who had a 926 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: ton of targets for the Packers this past week. I 927 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: know he's very hard to peg on a week to 928 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: week basis, but then again, so is the tight end position. 929 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: So it feels like Tonyan, I mean, it's hard to 930 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: do worse at this point at tight end. Yeah, Like 931 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: I I don't love his matchup next week, but at 932 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 1: some point it's like, all right, I mean this is 933 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: twelve targets yesterday. Is is huge volumes now had at 934 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: least seven and two of his last four games. This 935 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: is the thing with him, Like he could come out 936 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: next week and give you two targets and you're like, 937 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: why why did I pick this guy up and start him? 938 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: But this is what the Packers pass the game kind 939 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: of has been, like Alan Lazard is safe, Romeo Dobbs 940 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: is safe at least volume wise, and then the third 941 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: target is going to be someone different every week up 942 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: in the air. We thought maybe it'd be Aaron Jones, 943 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: that that doesn't seem to be consistent, so maybe Bob 944 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: Tunyan is also in the mix. For for some of 945 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: those opportunities. So if you are adding guys, it means 946 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: you are probably going to have to be dropping guys 947 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: as well. Who is somebody that no longer needs to 948 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: occupy space on your roster? Alaga More? Uh it. We 949 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: had very high hopes for him coming into this year. 950 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: And in the game yesterday, like two weeks ago, the 951 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: Jets scored forty points and Alijah Moore didn't do anything. 952 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: And then yesterday he legitimately did not do anything. He 953 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: did not have a target. That's why there's no b 954 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: roll right now, because there's no targets. More yesterday playing 955 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers, and this is what Elijah 956 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: More tweeted after the game. He said, if I say 957 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: what I really want to say, I'll be the selfish, 958 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 1: selfish guy. We're winning. Grateful, huge, blessing all I ever wanted, 959 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: but bitter sweet for me because I'll be solid. I'm 960 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: just staying quiet. Just no, I don't understand either, Like 961 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: he's saying, like, hey, throw me the ball, but I 962 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: can't say that because we're winning games right now. Basically 963 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not gonna say what I want to say, 964 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: but understand that I want to say what I wanted, like, 965 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: we know what you're saying. We you basically said it 966 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: without actually saying it, but you Elijah More has just 967 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 1: not produced at all. He's just not been a part 968 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: of it. I don't know that it's his fault, but 969 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: he's just not getting opportunities. Russell Gage was a guy 970 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: that I thought had some sleeper potential, especially early in 971 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: the season as Chris Godwin was working his way back 972 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: from injury, and he just really has never materialized. And 973 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: even with Julio Jones not being in action, Julio out 974 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: again this past week, You're still not getting a ton 975 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: out of Russell Gauge. Not a lot of targets, not 976 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: a lot of yards. It's an offense that basically revolves 977 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: around three people. It's Chris Godwin, It's Mike Evans, It's 978 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,919 Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett. That's kind of it in Tampa, and 979 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't see it getting any better. I mean, we're 980 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: talking about maybe starting Kay Dot and because he seems 981 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: to have a better outlook, Russell Gauge at this point 982 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: can go back to the waiver wire and and you're 983 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: not gonna miss a whole lot of anything there wrap 984 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: up the show with this week's edition of Madden Movers, 985 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: the guys who played well on Sunday that we think 986 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: deserve a bit of a ratings boost in Madden. So 987 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 1: who's your first one this week? Dion Jackson? I mean 988 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: he is currently the RB one on the week and 989 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: right now and Madden, he's rated at sixty two overall. 990 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: I get it as two weeks ago, most even die 991 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: hard Colt fans would have been like, who is Deon Jackson? 992 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: But like, this guy is good, He's performing well for 993 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. He needs a boost. Definitely think Deon Jackson 994 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: needs a boost. I also think Bailey Zappy deserves a 995 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: boost because the Brown's got zapped this week and two 996 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Zappy has got it out and 997 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: played well this week over three hundred passing yards and 998 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. But really has stepped in for 999 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and done a very good job of keeping 1000 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: this Patriots offensive float. He is a sixty three overall. 1001 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: Maybe he needs a little bit of a bump this week. 1002 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: I think Tyreek Hill, who's already raided a nineties seven, 1003 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: I think it's time he joins the ninety nine overall club, 1004 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: because coming into the year, we were like, can he 1005 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: be the same without Patrick Mahomes. He's done it with TWA, 1006 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: He's done it with Teddy Bridge Walter, he's done it 1007 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: with Skyler Thompson. It doesn't matter like yesterday a hundred 1008 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: and seventy seven yards. He leads the NFL in receiving yards. 1009 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 1: This guy is just a freak and at some point 1010 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: we need to be like, he's the best in the league. 1011 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: He does deserve a n I think I think we 1012 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: should start that hashtag get tyree to the ninety nine club. 1013 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,760 Speaker 1: I'll finish yourself with Paris Campbell. We talked about Alec 1014 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Pierce and Michael Pittman. We have one more p to 1015 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: get there. In Indianapolis. Eleven targets, seven catches, fifty seven 1016 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. He's a seventy four overall. We 1017 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: already knew him as a speed guy. Maybe he gets 1018 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of a bump up overall as well, 1019 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: and it's it's the triple P club. It's Pittman, Pierce 1020 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: in Paris, apparently in Indianapolis. There you go.
