1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: From the NFL Network at NFL dot com, Jason Smith,

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Senior Fantasy Editor, Michael Fabiano, NFL analyst Elliott Harrison here

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: on Sirius two ten XM eight seven and Docking. I

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: was not a big dock and guy they were so document.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: They weren't such a great guitarist. You're crazy. If I

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: have to hear alone again one more time, I'm putting

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: an ice pick through both your guys heads. Oh my god,

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: what Wi Fat is about to do that? After the

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: last segment when I said that he forced me to

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: do to fantasy teams, you know it was more a poke.

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: I can run two fantasy teams just fun. Actually like

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: both my teams. But FABS runs like teams, and I

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: don't know how you do that. You know, I top

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: out at like four. When I'm at like four or five,

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know what, that's it, because then

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: it's just the name start running, you know. My My

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: My high end a year was I believe eight teen

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: back when I was at CBS. Then I have gone

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: to fifteen. Then I was twelve, Then I was at ten.

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Now I'm at eight, and I will not play in

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: any more than eight anymore. It's too much and won't

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: tell you this. I would say, let me put out

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: a number over or under fifty of all everybody who

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: plays fantasy football right in the world Fantasy football. Overt

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: of those people are in more than one league. Oh, definitely, definitely, definitely.

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, look, it's one thing to have two

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: or three teams. It's another thing to be FABS and

28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: be like cutting deals for Jeff King and Mark Marianni

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: and advanced PPR leagues with Jeff King's six thousand subsets

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: of rules, and they're like pulling out the Dungeon Masters

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Guide out of D and D Hobody points do I

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: have that Dungeon is in what I have been Listen.

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing I'm not that. I'm not

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: the the typical fantasy football person that sits in his

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, mom's basement, you know, with with the buba

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: fed posts around the wall. No, that's not me. I

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: don't even know Dungeon and dry. I don't play video

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: games anything like that. I've got better things to do

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: with my time. Harrison. Uh, And it's certainly not checking

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: out Angela Landsberry. I'm trying to say, I still got

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: a Drew Pierson post. How did we get Boba Fette,

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Angela Lansbury and Drew Pearson all within a three seconds span,

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and it made sense. That's pretty good. It's in the

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: Cowboys Road Blues. It's a it's a great post. Nine six,

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: three to sixty two. That's a XM Fantasy helping you

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: out with your lineups, giving you all the big trade

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: information you need. A bit of a breaking news today.

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: We heard from Albert Brier earlier to an NFL Fantasy

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Live that are is on NFL Network and NFL dot

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Com every day. Albert Brier told us that he doesn't

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: think Richard Mendenhall is going to play this week, and

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna get us into starts and sits in

53
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: a second. But I don't care if for Shard Mendenhall

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: is healthy. Obviously, Isaac Redman, the backup becomes a much

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: better play for Shard Mendenhall is not there. But Richard

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: menden Hall has not been good at all. The frustration

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: level with Mendenhall is at an apex and in Pittsburgh,

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I like Redman at least this week it a flex

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: to give you at least ten points. I think he's

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna wind up seizing that job, whatever time it is.

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Because menen Hall has had this chance, he's proven to

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: not be elite. I love Isaac Redman going forward, and

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I got some stats for you here fast when you

64
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: say men in Halls, but it probably went about eighth

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: in most drafts. He was the first round pick. Yeah,

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere in that seven to ten range. Okay,

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: if we can agree on that. If you look at

68
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: the some of it because of his hold out and people,

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, if he would I think it would have

70
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: been much higher had we known that he was going

71
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: to be in camp. Okay. If you look at the

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: top eight fantasy running backs this year, they're averaging nineteen

73
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: points per games standard standard scoring, which is up from

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: fifteen point six last year. But men in Hall is

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: down from thirteen point six per game last year to

76
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: seven point four fantasy points per games. So I think

77
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,559
Speaker 1: your point, injury or no injury, he's been a disappointment.

78
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: The offensive line has been bad too, so it's sort

79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: of a host of things that are they're affecting men

80
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: in Hall. Don't drop him, certainly, don't drop him. And

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: we've seen stranger things happen, you know, in the National

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Football League and fantasy football. I'm not ready to say

83
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: that Redman is going to take over that job just yet.

84
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I want to see a little bit more from him.

85
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: He has looked better and more explosive than men In

86
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Hall this season, but great flex start. I think you

87
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: can even maybe use him in the paper league as

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: as a two. But it'll be interesting to see what

89
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: happens if Menon Hall is out this week Redmond gets

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: the job and runs with it. Do we have another committee?

91
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Another confusing situation for fantasy owners. We'll see. The good

92
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: thing about men In Hall and the reason why he

93
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: was a first round pick was number one. He had

94
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: a darn good two thousand ten seasons statistically number two.

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: No competition for carries. That's changing now. If I threw

96
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: out a couple of names, do you guys just give

97
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: me a bye sell Joey Die as a starter? Uh

98
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: In in the bye weeks? I mean as a flex

99
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: I think you could do worse. Yeah, he's a by

100
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: guy because the Colts are nothing, but get at least

101
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: a little bit better. And he's been okay so far.

102
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: He's not been awful. Okay, Thomas Jones. No. I mean

103
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: even against the Vikings this week, right, I mean their

104
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: run defense isn't that great? Um No, No, no interest

105
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: in Thomas Jones unless it's actually they're not playing the Vikings,

106
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: they're playing the Colts. I'm sorry that playing the Colts

107
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: this week. Even against the Colts. Um No. If this

108
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: was a lead where I could get a hundred points,

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: if Thomas Jones got to thirty yards, I would still

110
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: not take Thomas Jones if I was one of those

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: crazy leagues. A hundred points against the thirty. Still he's

112
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: barely had over twenty touches combined over the last two weeks.

113
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, Are you kidding me? Does he play for Seattle? No?

114
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do with it. If if

115
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: I need a flex guy in the by, I like

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch. I like his matchup this week, or he

117
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: got in the end zone last week. Look, we're not

118
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: talking about running backs. You're gonna pick up now that

119
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: are gonna give you a hundred twenty five yards and

120
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That era is gone. You're looking at guys

121
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: to pick up that. You can say, all right, they're

122
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: gonna give me ten points, right, They're gonna give me

123
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: ten points. And Marshawn Lynch, I think is that kind

124
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: of guy? Can he run for fifty yards and a

125
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Giants? Yeah? I like his matchup this week.

126
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: The Giants defense is hurt, it's kind of all over

127
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the place. Fifty in a touch It's what you can expect.

128
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: I like that from Marshall Lynch, Stephen Ridley as it

129
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: flex this week and during the bio weeks potentially, Yes,

130
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: especially with Danny wood Head dealing with that ankle injury.

131
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: But again confusing situation. You've got Ben Jarvis Green Ellis,

132
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: You've got wood Head there when healthy. Ridley showing some flashes,

133
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: but ultimately the Patriots are going to throw the ball

134
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot more than they're gonna run it.

135
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: And the value in the Patriots running backs and Elliott

136
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: you made this point earlier this week, is as a

137
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: goal lineback and that's the law Firms role Ridley Ridley,

138
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I like. I like him both right now, especially this

139
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: week because it would be a typical Bill Belichick thing

140
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: to do to come out and run the football, Typical

141
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Belichick versus the Jets. These teams know each other pretty well.

142
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: It would be a typical Belichick thing to do to

143
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: come out and say, okay, Green, Ellis and and Ridley,

144
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna run it. I like both these guys as

145
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: flex place mark Ingram. I'll tell you, Darren Sproles is

146
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: shocked the heck out of me this year. This is

147
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: a guy who we all saw as PPR only maybe

148
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: maybe a deep league standard flyer. He's right now in

149
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the top fifteen fantasy points, even if he's the most

150
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: start league. It's been fantastic. Uh. And I thought Ingram

151
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: would be the best fantasy back in New Orleans this season,

152
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's dead in the water. That

153
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: could still potentially happen. Um. He just hasn't seen a

154
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: lot of goal line opportunities where we thought he'd have

155
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: most of his value right now. I'd rather have Sprowls

156
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: regardless than Hangram. But I think Ingram, as he gets

157
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: more experience in the NFL, he's going to be a

158
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: better fantasy player. I can't trust mark Ingram at all.

159
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: He's he's slow. He's getting between thirteen and seventeen carries

160
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: a week, and he's still running for thirty five to

161
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: fifty yards. It's always a big warning sign for me

162
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: if you're running back with talent and you come in

163
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the NFL and you struggle, especially on the team that's

164
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: built to succeed like the New Orleans Saints. If he

165
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: got drafted by a team that was starting over couldn't

166
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: run the football, I would say, Okay, he needs a

167
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: little bit of time. But he's on a team that's

168
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's seeing guys like Pierre Thomas show up

169
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: and hey, I'm a hundred yard running back. Guys that

170
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: weren't very good come in unherold guys and take this job.

171
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: The fact that he can't run, that's a big warning

172
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: flag for me. I want nothing to do with mark Ingram.

173
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Last one Michael Bush. I like Michael Bush because he

174
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: is the vulture in Oakland. Darren mcfdden seems to get

175
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: tackled at the one yard line quite a bit, and

176
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: he's averaged about nine fantasy points per game NFL dot Com,

177
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's the number two guy, which

178
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: is more than Marshawn Lynch, three more than Marshawn Lynch,

179
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: who is terrible. In my opinion. I think Bush, despite

180
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he's second on the dead chart is

181
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: a viable flex when you're dealing with bye weeks. Yeah,

182
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: I think I think the same thing. I think he's

183
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Darren mcfatten is proving to be the new Barry Sanders,

184
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: and that is a guy getting caught from behind the

185
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: two yard line. Everybody collapse and applaudse he comes out

186
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: of the game, Michael Bush comes in, they wind up

187
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: getting in. No. I like him as well. NFL Fantasy

188
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Live here on Sirius XM, Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano and

189
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison. The number is eight nine six three to

190
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: six s two. That's nine six three to six s two.

191
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Some starts and sits for you, But right now we'll

192
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: head out to Jason and Sacramento. Jason, you got a

193
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: big question. What's up, guys, great show, You guys got

194
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: great information than you guys, very much, thank you. I

195
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: got a couple couple of positions. The first one is

196
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: the defense. I'm I'm stuck between Detroit and Philadelphia. Who

197
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: did you guys start this week trying? Yeah, question listen

198
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: and again even the Steelers people drop to the Steelers

199
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: to be the number one fantasy defense dropped that team

200
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: right now. They're lousy. They're terrible. They're twenty third and

201
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: fantasy points on NFL dot Com among defenses. Drop the

202
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: Steelers and play the Lions for sure. Good yeah, good quarterbacks. Um,

203
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: I have Michael Vick and Cam Newton. I really like

204
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: to match up. I also have with Shawn McCoy. I

205
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: really like to match up with Dick and McCoy against

206
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo this week. But you guys are really pushing Cam

207
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Newton this week. So what do you guys think. I

208
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: still play Michael Vick and I trade Cam Newton. Listen,

209
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: if you were one of the smart people out there

210
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: who drafted a quarterback that's an elite guy, like a

211
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: vic Ora Rodgers, and you picked up Cam Newton off

212
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, trade Newton. Now, there's no reason to

213
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: have a guy that valuable on your bench, especially if

214
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: you're lacking at a wide receiver position, you're lacking at

215
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: a running back position. Make the trade. I like both guys.

216
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: I stick with Vick though this week. Unless Cam Newton

217
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: is the second coming of Auto Graham and Sammy Ball,

218
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit a wall at some point. And I

219
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: think Michael Vick with a good matchup you definitely started

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: because you never know when I'm not saying that Cam

221
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Newton has been great. He's been great fantasy wise, but

222
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: at some point he's not going to be great. And

223
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: if you have an option like Vic, that's a no

224
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: brainer to me. Yeah, the thing you worry about is

225
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: injury with Michael Vicken staying healthy and having a guy

226
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: like Cam Newton is going to help when you can

227
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: put a guy like that in. Because I believe in

228
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Look in four weeks, he's had one bad week,

229
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: and the bad week was when they're playing in that

230
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: huge rainstorm in Jacksonville. They are a past driven team

231
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: in Cam Newton's come in, and I don't know that

232
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: how many more weeks do we have to go to

233
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: realize that he could be the shock of the National

234
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: Football League as far as he's a weapon that's come

235
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: in proven he's better than anybody thought he was. Physically,

236
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: he's a guy you can't bring down. He's gonna scampering,

237
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: run for touch and he's gonna run over you, run

238
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: by you. The fact that he's taking goal line carries

239
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: away now from from Stewart and Williams, and it's incredible

240
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: the numbers that this guy has put up, and I

241
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: don't know that he's gonna hit a wall. I think

242
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: you can expect big numbers because they're gonna keep throwing

243
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: the football. I mean that's they're gonna do in Caroline,

244
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna stop doing it. We have Kevin

245
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: in Texas, wants to talk trade. Kevin. What's going on?

246
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Helmanod afternoon? How you're doing good? I got a question

247
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: for you. I'm I drafted really well with regard to

248
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and I'm trying to create a running back

249
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: right now. The running backs gonna have are Ray Rice obviously,

250
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: which is untouchable, but I've got, you know, like Sprawls,

251
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant, Pierre Thomas, and Kendall Hunter. And right now

252
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm in the midst of offering to Shawan Jackson for

253
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: a job at death and I want to see what

254
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: you thought about that. So you would get DeShawn Jackson

255
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: in return for job at best, No, no, no trade

256
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson job at best uh non PPR leak.

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: What would that leave you a wide receiver? Well, I

258
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: thought Vincent Jackson's Steve Johnson I got Gronkowski was the

259
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: same as a wide receiver and artimented as Weth Colson.

260
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. If you you're looking at

261
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Sprawls right now as your two and and Sprowls as

262
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: good as he's been, I mean, you know, can you

263
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: keep it up? That's the question mark I like to

264
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: deal if it doesn't hurt your wide receiver death. Yeah,

265
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: I think with the strength that you have, I'm okay

266
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: with it. But you know, you here de Sean Jackson

267
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 1: for Job at Best, and it does give you a

268
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: little bit of pause. Well, these are all or nothing guys,

269
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: you know. Deshan Jackson's and all a nothing guy. Job

270
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: at Best is an all a nothing guy. But I

271
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: believe in the Lions offense and the best is still

272
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: going to continue to get that kind of that kind

273
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: of production. The thing is, now, when I didn't expect

274
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: is for Jeremy Macklin to cut into de Sean Jackson

275
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: as much as Yeah, because that's the real thing for

276
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Jackson for me is Macklin was a great weapon coming in.

277
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: He's been better than anybody thought, first coming off the

278
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: the illness and now the targets he's getting. He's the

279
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: guy that's taken away from that, So yeah, I like

280
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: that too. If you want to go get best, I'll

281
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: believe more in Best right now, being a more solid

282
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: guy week to week than I willed to Sean Jackson. Alright,

283
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: Matt in d C. It's got a question for us, Matt,

284
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: how's it going? Man? Hey? Good? Thanks guys. Well, that's

285
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: a great fantasy was I have a quick question for

286
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: you for starters this weekend on running back. It's a

287
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: PPR league and I have I have Chris Johnson, Beenie Wells,

288
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: mcgie he and Matt fort Of course, Matt Ford is

289
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: our number one running back in our league scoring, so

290
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm starting him, but I need two

291
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: out of those four for starting. M hm. You know

292
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ford is number one. I thought I've never heard.

293
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh Forte has really become a must start listen as

294
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: good as Beanie Wells is. And you know I've been

295
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: beating touting Beanie Wells. You know in the preseason. I

296
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: can't bench c J for him. I can't. I've got

297
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: to go see j and Forte here and I go.

298
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: I try to turn Beanie Wells another guy you want

299
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: to sell hig? I mean, now he's tougher because he

300
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: may have this kind of season going on. But if

301
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: you're only playing two running backs, is there ever gonna

302
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: be a week where you're gonna say, I'm gonna play

303
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells or other than to buy, I'm gonna play

304
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells over one of these guys. I mean, you're not.

305
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: He's just gonna sit there and stare at you and

306
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: produce from your bench. If if you're just playing two

307
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: guys a week, elliott I, you know, I think you

308
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: have to look to try to move Beanie Wells and

309
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver or upgrade somewhere. Yeah, I and

310
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: I have to agree. It's really hard. What did you

311
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: say once, Fabs, It's hard to get your hand to

312
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: get on the mouse and then click like drag and click.

313
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: The replaced Chris Johnson with you. Didn't you know when

314
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about Dragon Mice, I said something about that. Yeah,

315
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: it's something like that. It's it's tough as a fantasy

316
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: owner who's seen a guy like Chris Johnson thrive, and

317
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: you know he broke Marshall's record for scrimmage yards a

318
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: few years ago, to drag him down to your reserves

319
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: when he's not on a buy or not injured. I

320
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: rolled with my stars, man, I rolled with my stars,

321
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: and and Wells is a star in the making. But

322
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: this caller had so much depth the running back position,

323
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say bench of C and

324
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: and you know CJ is playing the Steelers. We just

325
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: found out that that James Harrison's not gonna be planned

326

353
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: one game that we're gonna spotlight on. We've talked a

354
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: lot about this and there's people in two schools of

355
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: thought when it comes to this game, Pats and the Jets.

356
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: This week, you have the Jets coming off that abysmal

357
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: game last week. Mark Sanchez's quarterback ranking was point six,

358
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: was the worst in the NFL that we've seen in

359
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: the last ten years. But yet you see the Patriots

360
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: who have been blowing through everybody this year. Now they

361
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: got Rivas Island. They got a pretty good Jets defense

362
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: against the past. Against the run is something different, but

363
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: against the past. But I don't know that this game

364
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: you have to worry about anybody, you know. I think

365
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big game for Mark Sanchez,

366
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a big game for Santonio Holmes. What the Patriots do

367
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: on offense, it's very anti what the Jets like to

368
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: do on defense. The Jets don't cover the tight end

369
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: very well, they don't cover the slot very well. Reva's

370
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: is gonna slip back and forth between covering West Welker

371
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: and not. I don't see any reason why this game

372
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: is not going to be one of those thirty thirty

373
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: five games. Well, you just said so much. I don't

374
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: even know where to go the Jets and the Pats.

375
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this games in last week being

376
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. I know, I think some of you

377
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: touched on that that. I don't want to say it

378
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: irks me, but it always catches me every time I

379
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: hear this Rivas Island, Rivas Island. You know what, in

380
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the modern NFL, I don't know how much difference one

381
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: cover corner makes anymore. I really don't. With so many

382
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: teams spreading out wide, putting three or four guys out there,

383
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: what difference does it make. We saw what happened with Nambie.

384
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: Now that they've got him in his zone, he's been

385
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: getting beat and and regarding Reva's, I don't see Reva's

386
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: covering Welcome in the slot. I don't see it happening.

387
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Covering in the slot is a totally different skill set.

388
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: You don't have the sideline as your friend, and so

389
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: not every corner can just go trot over there in

390
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: the slot and cover receiver. And by the way, who

391
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: has covered Welcer out of the slot this year? Who?

392
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, how many how many Fantasy points as Welcome

393
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: have this year? I believe ninety three point two on

394
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com after four games. I mean, he's on

395
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: pace right now to basically destroy Jerry Rice's Fantasy record

396
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: from most points. And Elliott makes a good point because

397
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: people automatically think that, well, Revis is gonna cover the

398
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: best player at the wide receiver position of the poson team.

399
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: But in the case of Welker, who is a little

400
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: bit different, he's not split on me. He's not split out.

401
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: He is going to be in the slot. UH. And

402
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan, you know, he wouldn't really reveal who Revis

403
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: will be covering in a week five, but I think

404
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: he knows that it's gonna be tough for Revis to

405
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: move into the slot. Uh. This is the same situation

406
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: that we had UH in Week one when we talked

407
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: about the Rams against the Eagles, Well, are they gonna

408
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: move down? They asked him into the slot to cover

409
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: Danny a Mandela before his injury. Uh. Welker is a

410
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: guy that you cannot bench. You can't. I don't care

411
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: who he's facing. He could be facing the eighty five Bears.

412
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: You can't bench West Welker right now. Uh. You could

413
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: see through Rivus on Dion Branch. You could see him

414
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: on Chatoc Drsinko, one of those guys. I don't know

415
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: who's starting either one of those guys, maybe Branch because

416
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: we've got the bye weeks. Welker, to me, even if

417
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: Revis covers him sometimes, UH needs to be active. I

418
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: think that's an absolute no brainer. It's funny you mentioned

419
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears because the one game they lost

420
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: that year was to the Dolphins who putting that more

421
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: in the slot and towards the because the Dan Marino

422
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: and that was was that in Miamimi they night have

423
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: three corners that that could cover them. You know, I

424
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: did a little research on the greatest like fantasy seasons

425
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: and uh fabs and I talked about this yesterday. Randy

426
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: Moss two thousand seven had two Fantasy points at standard scoring,

427
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: no bonuses. Uh Jerry Rice had two four point four points.

428
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: You take West Welker and compare it to Jerry Rice's.

429
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice that year had five games of over twenty

430
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points. West Welker already has three games of over

431
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points and he's only played four. Yeah, it's

432
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: unbelievable at the pace that he is on. It's really

433
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: like the bill of the Patriots coaching staff on offense

434
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: got together in the preseason and said, let's try to

435
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: get West Welker to break every stinking record in the

436
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: National Football League for a wide receiver because he's on

437
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: pace for like two thousand yards and unbelievable. And remember

438
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's coming off of his worst

439
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: year with the Patriots, because he was coming off of

440
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: the reconstructive knee surgery, and he fell in a lot

441
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: of drafts, maybe into you know, round three, round four,

442
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: depending on your scoring system. Unbelievably productive. I'm lucky to

443
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: have enough to have him in a couple of PPR leagues,

444
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: and I am smiling all the way to the bank,

445
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: and he's not leaving my starting lineup. Let me, let me,

446
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: let me throw this out there. You can have one

447
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: guy for the rest of the season on your team,

448
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: Wes Welker Calvin Johnson. I mean, that's an excellent question.

449
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: I think that's why I asked it. I think I

450
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: would take Calvin Johnson because of his ability in the

451
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: red zone. PPR league is gonna be different, obviously, but

452
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson West Welker, I I agree with with e H. Standard.

453
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with Megatron. But PPR Welker's a machine and

454
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: and the real the real issue with Welker in the

455
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: past was what he didn't score a lot of touchdowns.

456
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: That has changed this year. One of the things also

457
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: with the Patriots before we move on, you know Gronkowski,

458
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: everyone knows the ball is going to him in the

459
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: red zone, and yet he's still it's touchdowns because the

460
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: Patriots are excellent at creating single coverage, are creating mismatches.

461
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: When you have your best receiver coming out of the

462
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: slot and that's where he likes to operate, it's an

463
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: automatic mismatch because there are very few guys in the

464
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: NFL who can take a slot receiver and cover them

465
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: one on one. Durell Rivas or no Durell Rivas. And

466
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying this to you as a Jets guy. Oh hey,

467
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: believe look what what the Patriots like to do is

468
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: not what the Jets like to do on defense. And and

469
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: and this is where you take a guy like Revus

470
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: when you say, okay, we have a shutdown corner certain

471
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: teams that works great on when when you're playing a

472
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: team like the like the Houston Texans, and you can

473
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: shut down Andre Johnson, WHI, You're gonna win that football game.

474
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: When you play teams that have that one great guy

475
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: and the other support guys, you're gonna win that game.

476
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Because suddenly then it's about getting your getting the ball,

477
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: those number two, number three, number four playmakers. But now

478
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna start seeing the NFL evolved into things like this.

479
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots have the Hamburglar playmakers. Everybody is like five

480
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: nine and under and you can't. You're gonna get mismatch.

481
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: And you have the two big tight ends, Aaron Hernandez,

482
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: who may come back this week. I think it's be

483
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: on another week, but he may come back. This This

484
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: is this is the the new NFL. You're gonna see

485
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: teams copycatting the Patriots way of doing it right here,

486
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: it's Fantasy Live on series two ten x seven. And

487
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: before we get to excuse me too XL to bring

488
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: it back Fantasy, We've got Greg and Philly who is

489
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: trying to trade none other than m j D. Greg,

490
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? Thanks for holding. How you guys

491
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: doing today? Good? Good? What you got alright? Um? I

492
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: need I need a wire receiver really bad. My running

493
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: backs are m j D, Arian Foster, Beanie Wells and

494
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: Frank bore Um. I got Mike Williams and Tampa and

495
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. So a guy who offered me Greg Jennings

496
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: for m j D. I want to see what you

497
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: guys thought. You've got the depth there. I mean, You're

498
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: running backs are ridiculous, and uh, I think that's a

499
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: completely fair trade. I don't think the Packers offense is

500
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: slowing down anytime soon. Freg Jennings is awesome. Greg Jennings

501
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: is awesome. See if if he really wants to running back,

502
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: See if you can substitute more, substitute Frank Gore for

503
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: m j D. If you're trying to split hairs there,

504
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: but if you really it's m j D. Yeah, I

505
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: see that. That's a that's a huge deal to make.

506
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: See if he can sub like milde More. I always

507
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: try to. I always try to sub I always. You

508
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: have to do it. You have to do it. You know,

509
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: you always try to see. You have to see what

510
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: you have to see what people are willing to to take.

511
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I had a trade yesterday with

512
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: my buddy Jim Nancy, who we had on a few

513
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We played in a fantasy league and I

514
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: lost Kenney Britain the league, so I needed to get

515
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. He had Brandon Marshall. His running backs

516
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: are really struggling and it's a PPR league, and I

517
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: ended up trading him Darren Sprowles for Marshall. But he

518
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: was trying to get Morris Jones Drew. He's like, well,

519
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: would you trade I said no, Jim. I was like,

520
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you sprowls, but I'm not giving you m

521
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: j D. You know Marshall, he's good, but now the quarterback.

522
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: You gotta be a salesman a little bit. Always try

523
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: and get the best value for your players. We have

524
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Mike and New Jersey with more trade talk. Mike, what's

525
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: going on? It was going on? Guys, I got to

526
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: you a trade question. If you can help me out here. Um,

527
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: I got Vincent Jackson and Feelers Jones and my brother

528
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: who's him in my league with me? He's off bring

529
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: me uh aj Green and Ryan Matthews. Oh, I like.

530
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: I like that deal from your perspective. I like A J. Green.

531
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: He's he's the guy getting all the targets in Cincinnati.

532
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: He's shown he can be a star. And I love I.

533
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how much I love Ryan Matthews.

534
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: He's slowly making Mike Tilbert irrelevant. He's getting all the carries,

535
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: getting touches in the passing game. Ryan Matthews will be

536
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: a top seven, top eight running back by the time

537
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: it's all a sudden done this year. I love that

538
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: trade and this is one of the situations that I

539
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: find myself in a lot is that I want to

540
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: improve that one position, So I end up trading from

541
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: a position of strength and I end up getting a

542
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: position of weakness filled. But I also have to flip

543
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: flop positions. So V Jacks, I still think he's a

544
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: better Fantasy player than AJ Green, and most people wouldn't

545
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: doubt that. Uh So you're losing out trading V Jacks,

546
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: but you're gaining Matthews over Felix Jones. So if the

547
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: running back position is the one that you need to

548
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: improve it in the most, the trade makes sense. Yeah,

549
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: there's a much bigger gulf between Matthews and Felix Jones,

550
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: and there is a J Green, Advince and jack especially

551
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson. Every week, you know he's on the list,

552
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: and he's he's got abdominal issues and and you know

553
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: the way the Charger's offenses, it's not been exactly what

554
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,159

590
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: Go to NFL dot com slash Fantasy. It's right there

591
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: for you. How about Steve Smith? How about this guy

592
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: who was dead and buried in fantasy last year. Now,

593
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 1: he's been unbelievable. Outside of Week three, he hasn't posted

594
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: fewer than thirteen point six Fantasy points on NFL dot Com.

595
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: And that was in that week where they had that

596
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: huge monsoon basically brought through the stadium. Uh, Steve Smith,

597
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: I think he's he's once again and it must start.

598
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Santonio Holmes. He's been terrible all year, not getting a

599
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: lot of targets. I start him against the Patriots, who

600
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: have been just terrible in terms of giving up a

601
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy places to wide receivers. Jordy Nelson, who

602
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: is a sleeper on NFL dot com. Uh, he's on

603
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: pace for better than eleven hundred yards and I think

604
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: that Sunday night game against the Falcons is going to

605
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: be an absolute shootout. You start Jordy Nelson. You also

606
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: start Julio Jones in that game. Uh. The Packers past

607
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: defense has just been terrible. Uh, so Jones was seeing

608
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot more targets lately. You want to get him active.

609
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Percy Harvan, I think he used him as a three

610
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. Uh. He's thirty fourth and fantasy points

611
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: right now among wide receivers on NFL dot Com. But

612
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have a lot of the sixth most fantasy points.

613
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, who was a bust on NFL dot Com.

614
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: He's enduring that sophomore splide that we sort of predicted.

615
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: But I do like him this week if you needed three.

616
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: With the bye weeks here, the Niners of a lot

617
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: of the fifth most fantasy points. Uh, the fourth most

618
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers, So I like Williams. Guys,

619
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm sitting Marcus Colston. Yeah, he's getting healthy, his snaps

620
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: will increase. Uh. Tough matchup against the Panthers and there's

621
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: so many miles to feed in that Saints offense. I'm

622
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: a little worried about Colston. Mike Thomas seeing a lot

623
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: of targets, but believe it or not, the Bengals have

624
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: allowed the second fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, so

625
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Thomas seeing targets. But will they pan out this week?

626
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: Mario Manningham, I don't think he can start him anymore

627
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: until we see some flashes of potential from him. And

628
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: what are you smiling at Harrison because I'm thinking boo,

629
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: I was really counting on that guy manning him. Yeah,

630
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: he was a big time sleeper and uh not so

631
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: much with Victor Cruz there in the mix and Nate Washington,

632
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: a guy that a lot of people picked up off

633
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: the waiver wire when Kenny Britt went down. But we

634
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: said last week, don't expect him to put up big numbers.

635
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: He's never thrived as a one. Uh. He averaged about

636
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: eleven fantasy points. In the three games where Bridge started

637
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: last week, he scored six point two. Uh, and the

638
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Steelers are allowed the third fewest fantasy Alvin Harper. Yeah,

639
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: just Nate Washington just doesn't do it for me. Uh,

640
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: certainly well worth owning. I wouldn't start him. Let me,

641
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: let's throw this out there because we talk a lot

642
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: about how guys are worthy flex place, right, and that's

643
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of how how things come back if you like

644
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: a guy, if you're desperate, especially now with the buyers

645
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: going on, plenty of owners want to know, Okay, my

646
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: flex spot, where do I go? This is kind of

647
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: the year. This is the first time we've seen where usually, oh,

648
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a running back in my flex spot right,

649
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna running back. It's gonna be a number

650
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: one guys can run the ball a hundred yards and

651
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown put in my flex spot. But now with

652
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: the way the NFL is evolved, now, I think more

653
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: and more so in my league's I see this all

654
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the time. Is I see more wide receivers in that

655
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: flex spot than running backs, just because you can count

656
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: on these wide receivers more. Would you rather take a back?

657
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, would you rather throw a Michael Bush in

658
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: yours as as we think he could be decent play

659
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: this week with ten points, But would you either have

660
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Nate Washington or Michael Bush in your flex spot? You

661
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: wanna have Nate Washington, try to have Eric Decker, tried

662
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: to have like these guys. But this is but this

663
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: is such a huge thing that we're going to more

664
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers now than running back. You're basically, I mean,

665
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: you're right in so far as that running backs are

666
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: always have always been sort of the favorite position to

667
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: put in your flex position, but now wide receivers are

668
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: getting more prominence in that spot. So it's not like

669
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: you have to force feed that flex position into a

670
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: running back. Now play the matchups utilize start a wide receiver.

671
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in a league where you can

672
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: start a tight end, you can potentially do that if

673
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: you have I mean, listen, as Aaron her Nanez was

674
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: not drafted to be a number one Fantasy tighten in

675
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: most leagues. He was more of a high end two.

676
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: And if you also have say Jason Witten, and then

677
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: you have her Nanda is when her Nanas comes back,

678
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: you have a flex spot to fill you put Witten

679
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: in a tight end, if your best option off the

680
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: bench is Aaron her Nanez, there's no problem doing that anymore.

681
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: It's nice to have that running back, it's always been nice,

682
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: but don't force feed it. The wide receiver position and

683
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: even tight end in some situations are becoming better flex options. Well,

684
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, on NFL Fantasy Live on NFL Network, we've

685
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: talked a lot about run pass ratio, and if it's

686
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: pass run, then a lot of the passes that we're

687
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: seeing are just extended handoffs. That's what they are. So

688
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: if you're playing a receiver, especially in the PPR league,

689
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna catch eight balls for you for eighty five

690
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: yards even if he doesn't get the end zone, that's

691
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: eight point five points out of your flex position. And

692
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: you might take the risk of starting a guy like

693
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: a Bush or in a die or Marshawn Lynch who

694
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: gets you fifty five yards fifty five yards rushing. You know,

695
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: they get you fifteen carries, but they don't score. That's

696
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: only five and a half points. So I think you're

697
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: point Jason. With all the running backs by by committee,

698
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: you're not getting these dudes that are getting twenty five carries,

699
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: and with all the passing going on the league, it's

700
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: very possible that you get a non sexy name out

701
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: there that's gonna catch seven passes for ninety yards and

702
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: get you nine Fantasy points for your flex non sexy,

703
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: non sexy. By the way, Nate Washington, I agree FABS.

704
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't really like his matchup this week, but he's

705
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: still only owned in six NFL dot Com leagues. I

706
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: still think he's a guy that you go get on

707
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and you stop powering your bench, even

708
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: if you have no intention of playing him this week.

709
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Go pick him up and stop palm on your bench.

710
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday mornings are Wednesday mornings are always fun for me.

711
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: I wake up in the morning and the first thing

712
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: I do is go and check out who I've grabbed

713
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, you know, after the waivers have run,

714
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: uh and I go through and see who I got,

715
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: who I didn't get. And the first thing I do

716
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: after that, man, is I just scour through and see

717
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: what's left. And if there's a player out there that

718
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't get picked up, that somebody left out there for me,

719
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: I grab him. I always want to have the best

720
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: possible lineup UH day in and day out. For example,

721
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: I put in a couple of claims for defenses this week.

722
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Didn't get him. So I went out and grab the

723
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Titans because the Titans are a potential sleeper this week

724
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, who have an offensive line that can't

725
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: block UH. And that's been that. That's been equated into

726
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks and a lot of turnovers. Always

727
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: don't leave deadwood on your roster is basically what I'm saying.

728
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people do do that. Let's see, that's

729
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: why you're the evil empire. You know. Compare me to

730
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees, man, because I of my Yankees. Compare me

731
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: to the Yankees. Please? Was the A. J. Burnett of fantasy?

732
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: For God, it would be the A. J. Burnetta fans

733
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: someone who was disappointed front week. What a miracle. My

734
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: patience for major League Baseball and the Rangers is worn thin.

735
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: But I have to commend Jermaine in Houston. He's been

736
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: very patient waiting on the line. Jermaine, how are you doing? Man?

737
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for waiting for us and Jermaine, maybe he didn't

738
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: look at all those great things you said. Crickets. I'm

739
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: done yeahs olways there, Hey Jermaine, how are you man?

740
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: How's it going good? I got a question, I got

741
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: a trade that I want to make man, and I

742
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: got I got the bad hand of the stick this week.

743
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I had uh Andre Johnson go out and I had

744
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: been and I lost my five points. But I have

745
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: I want to get a J Green from this guy.

746
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: And I told him this is my people that I

747
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: could afford give up. Well, I'm not a for but

748
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: these are people I have. I have Mictober, de Angelo Williams,

749
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Sean Green, Adrian Peterson, LANs More. He wants a running back,

750
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: so let's stick with the running backs. I got me Williams,

751
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Sean Green, Miketober, and I just picked up Stephen Ridley,

752
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: and uh I have Adrian Peterson. I'll tell you one thing.

753
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: If you can trade D'Angelo Williams and get a bag

754
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: of peanuts for him, no less a J Green than

755
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: you are, my friend, a superior fantasy owner than any

756
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: one of the three of us in the United room

757
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: here in Culver City, California. I would I would offer

758
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: up d will and let the guy laugh at you

759
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: or saying hey, D'Angelo. William used to be pretty good.

760
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll make that move and then go maybe to Tibert.

761
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Uh do not trade Adrian Peterson for a j Green?

762
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: Can I? Can I answer this for Jason? Sure? Go ahead, sir?

763
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: What would I trade Sean Green? Right now? Right now?

764
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Make the call? First? Try to get rid of Williams. Yeah,

765
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: I agree for because at least Rex Ryan said this

766
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: week we gotta give Sean Green a chance. So okay,

767
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: they're still sticking with him a little bit more. That

768
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: trade is is hell and gone for de' angelo Williams

769
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and Carolina Right now. You can't even see that train

770
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: branch without a trunk, right what is? What does that

771
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: even going? No, I don't know my own saying that

772
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Sean Green, even even he's like, we don't know what

773
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: the heck you're saying, hammering Sean Green, hammering him. I

774
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: can't believe. Well, he just tossed you up, Germaine and

775
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: Houston just toss you, tossed you up a softball, you know. Yeah,

776
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: But if it's a choice between Sean Green and D'Angelo Williams,

777
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: who do you have more confidence in that least is

778
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance either neither. But you gotta pick

779
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: one of them. But you gotta pick one, al right.

780
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: I'll go with you, guys. Okay, recant reluctant in Illinois.

781
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: I wants to talk a little Dez Bryant, nip, what's

782
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: going on? Man? Pay up a much? Thanks for taking

783
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: my call. A J. Green day here on the show. Yeah, well, hey,

784
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: a J. Green is part of my trade. I'm getting

785
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: offered a J. Green. Um, he wants Dez Bryant. Um,

786
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: this is a team where I lost. Kenny Britt and

787
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Dez Bryan Steve Smith Caroline are my two leading receivers.

788
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: I want to be smart for me to give up

789
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: Bryant for a J. Green. Straight up, I say no.

790
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: I say no. If you watch the Detroit game, I

791
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see more of that. I think anytime

792
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: they have. Honestly, when I watched des Bryant, I think

793
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of Megatron because I think now, when

794
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: Romo sees and he's got single coverage with Des Bryant,

795
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the ball up. And I don't see

796
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: that kind of confidence in A J. Green. And oh,

797
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: by the way, forget what people think about Romo. Throw

798
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: in the three picks. Andy Dalton is not Tony Romo.

799
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: I would trust Dez Bryant with Tony Romo more than

800
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: I would trust A. J. Green with a rookie quarterback.

801
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: I do not make that trade. Yeah, I agree. And

802
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: as much as I like A J. Green, I like

803
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: him a lot because he's the number one target there

804
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: and Dalton and he has gotten a pretty good chemistry going.

805
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: And that doesn't happen that off with rookie wide receivers.

806
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Look at the points that Dallas Cowboys are gonna put up.

807
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: Look what's gonna happen. Just get better when Myles Austin

808
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: comes back. I'd rather have that. I don't know that

809
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: that really helps either team either way. If you want

810
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: to do that, if you can, if you can scrape

811
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: by and say I'll do it, but you're gonna give

812
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: me a guy at running back that I can start,

813
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: or a tight end that I can start, then I

814
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: might think about it if I'm getting something back. But

815
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: this one seems to me like it's like I said,

816
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: there's too many people that I think make trades just

817
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: to make trades, and I think this is kind of

818
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: one of them. Des Bryant, the upside is off the chart.

819
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: The same goes for A. J. Green. But first, talking

820
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: specifically two thousand and eleven, the one thing that I

821
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: worry about with Bryant is his conditioning. He's always hurt,

822
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: he's always nicked up, He's always on the injury report. Um.

823
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: I agree with these guys, but it's it's real close.

824
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's real close. A J. Green is the

825
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: number one guy. You can argue that Des Bryant is

826
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: the third option in the Cowboys offense once Miles Austin

827
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: his back. But Bryant's upside is major. He's just got

828
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: to stay out at the trainers room right now. Guys

829
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: Jason and Houston, you right, NFL Fantasy Live, what's your question?

830
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I should pick up d Angela

831
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: Williams off the waiver wire and drop on they too

832
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: for the violence, or if I should keep what I

833
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: have and go it's what I got. I have a

834
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: die and Michael Bush as an option. Um, if I

835
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: don't pick him up, I'd rather play Kate Bush than

836
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: play D'Angelo Williams. There's not many guys I'd rather play

837
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. I'd rather play I'm out of bushes, George Bush.

838
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I played either George Bush, I would play I I

839
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: certainly would hesitate to to drop a die because you know,

840
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: if you watch the Colts game the other night, I mean,

841
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: he's still really their main back. Yes, they have Delone Carter,

842
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: but I think Joe Dies is going to be a

843
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: decent play going forward. I believe it or not. I

844
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: trust him more than D'Angelo Williams. It's unbelievable that we're

845
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: suggesting that you hold onto a number two running back

846
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: over a number one who was once the top scoring

847
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: running back in fantasy football. But I think that's what

848
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: japt to do. Right now, you're referring to Michael Bush. Yes,

849
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams, not Kate Bush. D'Angelo Williams is averaging right

850
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: around four fantasy points a game. A little bit more.

851
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's disgusting. Michael Bush's averaging right around nine.

852
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: And as we mentioned earlier, Cam Newton seeing a lot

853
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: of goal line work. Now they're utilizing him and his

854
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: skill set, uh right around inside the five yard line

855
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: the opponent's five yard line, and that's meaning less opportunities

856
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: for if it was Stewart, I would say that's a

857
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: different story because it Stewart has more upside, but that

858
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: that was one situation, guys, and after the lockout, en

859
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: did that. Boy, I just wish they gave the I

860
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: just wish Williams had gone elsewhere and they had Stewart

861
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: in there in that backfield because you're talking about a

862
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: solid number two fantasy back with major upside. Stewart needs

863
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: to get more burn. And I know, you know, our

864
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: our our friend Matt Money Smith always says, you know

865
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: that money talks, and uh D'Angel Williams got paid a

866
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot of money that he probably

867
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: didn't deserve. Stewart should be the guy there, Williams should

868
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: be a backup option, but unfortunately that's not the case

869
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: right now. Well, I wish Daniel I would have signed

870
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: in Miami. But but you reference what I was saying,

871
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: is you referenced camp Newton. You getting goal line work,

872
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: and you're talking about keeping Michael Bush. That's why you

873
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: keep Mike right Bush, even though he's number two, It's

874
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: because he gets that goal line work. It's NFL Fantasy

Speaker 1: it's the first week of the byes in the National

893
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: Football League. If you're looking to fill in for a quarterback, okay,

894
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: pretty much that that that's been picked clean wide receiver.

895
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: There's a couple more guys available, but here you aren't

896
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: running backs now. And I'll tell you what, fabs, there's

897
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who are sitting now. There's a

898
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of owners who are looking for running backs this

899
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: week because this is the week. It just so happens

900
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: the way it works on on on the buys that

901
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: running backs are the most positioned that you're gonna need.

902
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Guys on who your starts and sits. Fred Jackson, guys

903
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: unbelievable start this week against the Eagles, who have been

904
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: horrible against the run. And uh Freddie Jacks playing for

905
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: that contract and he's playing extremely well. Fantasy owners are

906
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: reaping the rewards of v Jacks. Play him for sure.

907
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells coming off a three touchdown game. I like

908
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: him against the Vikings a my Bradshaw against the Seahawks. Uh,

909
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: they're surrendering an average about eighteen fantasy points per game

910
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: the runners through the first four weeks. Darren Sproles, who

911
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about a couple of times. Against the Panthers,

912
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: I think he's a nice tour flex. Joseph Die someone

913
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: that Elliott and I have talked about. I think you

914
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: can use him as a flex against the Chiefs. They're

915
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: allowing an average about twenty four Fantasy points per game.

916
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: The running backs, if for Shard, Mant and Hall is

917
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: in fact out this week. Isaac Redman, I think is

918
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: a very solid flex starter, even a low end two

919
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: in a deeper league. Uh. He has definitely showing some

920
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: flashes exactly and he should. And he's looked more explosive

921
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: than the Schard, Manton Hall guys that I bench. Now,

922
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: I can't tell you to sit. Uh, you know the

923
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: third string running back for uh, you know the Cleveland

924
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: Browns with Dallas Cowboys, they're on bias. Okay, guys, yeah,

925
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: we do not have to sit these guys. Frank Gore

926
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: is someone that I know you have to probably play.

927
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: But the matchup is not as good as it might

928
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: look on paper. The Buccaneers have allowed an average of

929
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: just six Fantasy points to the opposition starting running back

930
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: outside of Week two when they got ran all over

931
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: by Adrian Peterson. D'Angelo Williams. You want nothing to do

932
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: with him. Cedric Benson. Tough matchup against the Jaguars, who

933
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: suddenly have a good run defense. Last year they were terrible.

934
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: Uh you wanna listen, guys, I know we were talking

935
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: about Marshawn Lynch. I want nothing to do with Marshawn Lynch.

936
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: I don't care who he's playing. Uh I benched him.

937
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: He plays for the Seahawks, and that's kind of like

938
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: my red flag. And don't be shocked if Lagarrett Blunt

939
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: comes crashing back down to Earth. Great matchup on Monday

940
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: Night Football against the bad Colts run defense. Now he's

941
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: in San Francisco where he has to face the best

942
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: run defense. From a fantasy perspective in the NFL, no

943
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: team is a lot more a fewer fantasy points than

944
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine. So again, some of these

945
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: guys you probably can't bench. Just don't be surprised if

946
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: the numbers are not as good as they've been in

947
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: recent weeks. Well, one of the names that you highlighted

948
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: there in the name that we mentioned earlier in the

949
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: show and on NFL Fantasy Live, Isaac Redmond and Willis mcgahey,

950
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: And both of those guys would be in theory replacing

951
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: two backs that have been indecisive and had happy feet.

952
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: That's no Sean Marino and Richard menten Hall. And with

953
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: mcgahey and Redmond, look are you gonna get a hundred

954
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: eighty yards rushing note, but you're gonna go to get

955
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: a guy that makes one cut, hits the hole and

956
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: if they pick up eighty yards and a touchdown for you,

957
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: you are happy as you could possibly be. Well. I

958
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: really like Willis mcgae mean, he's a guy I don't

959
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: want to play because I don't believe him in the

960
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: long haul. By you can't argue with what he's done

961
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I think Willis mcgahey's a

962
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: huge He's a great flex play because we found out

963
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: today John Fox said he is going to be our guy.

964
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: It's not going to be no Seawan Marino. He'll be

965
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: our guy going forward. I like him this week, and

966
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: also say sell hi on Willis mcgahey if you can,

967
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: because eventually they're gonna go to Tim Tebow. Things are

968
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: gonna start happening in Denver. Play him now, but look

969
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: to move him. It's NFL Fantasy Live on Series two
