Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Frankie Stample.
Speaker 1: I am Greg sum. What's going on Monday? Gregg A
Speaker 1: Week five kicks off tonight, got the Patriots and the
Speaker 1: Indian Apples Coats. Dr Ray Conan on the show a
Speaker 1: little bit later on talk some injuries, but we gets
Speaker 1: all the football stuff. How about them Yankee pounded out? Nah?
Speaker 1: I don't have anything to gets Oakland whatever the Yankees.
Speaker 1: One Friday night? Do you know the pitching matchup Christal
Speaker 1: versus Jay happen. Is that the assumption I'd imagine that
Speaker 1: you're not gonna make my way aft to Jersey Friday night,
Speaker 1: So obviously to get throw some shekels down for NFL
Speaker 1: this weekend. Probably throw something down for Connor and cabib too.
Speaker 1: I'll be watching UM and then you know what, I'll
Speaker 1: probably put something on the Yankees too. But is that smart? No, don't,
Speaker 1: don't bear with your heart. No, you don't think they
Speaker 1: take the first game. I've already just taked over. Whatever
Speaker 1: it is makes sense. I can see that you have
Speaker 1: fun last night. I did, man, you know I did.
Speaker 1: It was great, it was. It was a very fun
Speaker 1: game all around. I'm gonna be houest with you. I
Speaker 1: was never nervous, it really wasn't even the bases were loaded.
Speaker 1: Was like, I don't really nervous. No, I was. I
Speaker 1: definitely was when it was whatever that was the fourth ending, right,
Speaker 1: I think it was. We still only had a two
Speaker 1: run lead. We as in you know, me being part
Speaker 1: of the Yankees. UM two run lead, bases loaded two outs,
Speaker 1: It's kind of a scary situation. And then the very
Speaker 1: next ending, which you know, I was surprised that they
Speaker 1: left several, you know, in to start the fifth because
Speaker 1: I think he was already at like eight plus pitches
Speaker 1: at that point. Gives up the first two hits, and
Speaker 1: then here comes with Dances, who you know has been
Speaker 1: inconsistent at times, but god, he was awesome last night.
Speaker 1: He was great. Man, he was he was on fire.
Speaker 1: We're getting dead. I'm not happy, Frank, I'm really not happy.
Speaker 1: What's up? So and lead where waivers run every day
Speaker 1: at noon the day day noon, it's kind of weird
Speaker 1: Wednesday through Sunday. Well, it was like we used to
Speaker 1: have first come first, sir. This is a compromise. Waivers
Speaker 1: will just run every day noon, okay, So like the
Speaker 1: big waiver runs obviously on Wednesday at noon and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 1: Cold people putting bids or cold the zero dollar bidsin
Speaker 1: in this league, could people putting mids whatever? So in
Speaker 1: this league I owned Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison. I
Speaker 1: see that cav Allison and Adams not practicing today and
Speaker 1: Adams chefs are kind of alluded, like it could be
Speaker 1: even longer, like what so anyway, I see that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh god, now I gotta go out and let me
Speaker 1: just get m v s. It doesn't really flow very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah vs vs m VS or if you did one
Speaker 1: of these m v s, it's a little bit better
Speaker 1: because r VD and in the middle. I like that,
Speaker 1: I got it all right, So I went to go
Speaker 1: and get m v s off of waivers more kez
Speaker 1: vowed the scantling. His news breaks literally at and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, my dollar bid in for him, not worry
Speaker 1: about it. So only one other person bid on m
Speaker 1: VS other than myself. One other person, and I've been
Speaker 1: one dollar again hometown Heller bien nine bucks on MVS,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you doing? Why did you?
Speaker 1: Why did you do this? You only bid one dollar?
Speaker 1: You can't kick yourself for I probably would have been
Speaker 1: five if I had those guys, and I still would
Speaker 1: have got it, still have lost. There's no way I
Speaker 1: would have been ten dollars. Maybe he really needs a
Speaker 1: wide receiver this week. So I asked him, like a
Speaker 1: nine dollars, Really, he just did it, am I go,
Speaker 1: I just did it, and I don't even know why.
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a claiman prior I tried to
Speaker 1: switch you down to four right out of time. And
Speaker 1: if you would have had the five or six dollar
Speaker 1: bid in like I said, if he if he would
Speaker 1: have lowered it here a lot of what's going on.
Speaker 1: The good news is Greggy, the Packers could potentially be
Speaker 1: without all three of those wide receivers, their starting wide
Speaker 1: receivers in Davantae Adams, Jeronimo Allison, and Randall Cobb. And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, they will be starting three different rookies.
Speaker 1: Who's to say that MVS is the man like? It
Speaker 1: could be more. It could be open to me a
Speaker 1: st Brown if you really really are desperate and just
Speaker 1: need a guy to like like play, I have a
Speaker 1: pick up one of those guys. I have a plugging play,
Speaker 1: don't you worry? And can we reel it? Now? Tell
Speaker 1: me who are you playing? Welcome back to the starting lineup,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. He's better than the other Hacker wide receivers
Speaker 1: and throwing he I don't know to know because the
Speaker 1: other player I could have plugged in, um Jordan Wilkins. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The other player I could have plugged it working on
Speaker 1: that is is Chris Hogan and that would be an
Speaker 1: interesting he placed tonight and I can't do that yet.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling about Chris Hogans. I've got a feeling.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about who I was gonna drop
Speaker 1: for MVS. Let me just drop Chris Hogan was like,
Speaker 1: you know what he plays tonight. I gotta weight on it.
Speaker 1: I gotta weight on it. So like am and I
Speaker 1: don't have MVS now if you were wondering, because I
Speaker 1: just looked this up. The Packers snapshare throughout the season
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, Mark has Valdes Scantling MVSY
Speaker 1: has played percent of the snap so he's the fourth
Speaker 1: wide receiver, which means he's the next man up if
Speaker 1: all three of those can't go. The only other wide
Speaker 1: receiver who has played a snap for the Packers is
Speaker 1: Jamon Moore, who has fourteen percent of the snaps, which
Speaker 1: he played all of last week without Randall com Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then probably the number two in terms of like
Speaker 1: those are probably the starting wide receivers if all three
Speaker 1: can't go and you're really struggling right now, MVS, Marcus
Speaker 1: Valdus Handling and Jama Moore are probably starters. That is
Speaker 1: all speculation, but it is not sounding good for the
Speaker 1: Packers wide receivers right now, the normal starters. That's all
Speaker 1: we have on a Thursday. Yeah again, that that Schefter's
Speaker 1: tweet really scared me. Um about Cobb. It was the
Speaker 1: you know what I would really do these act tweeks.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get it wrong. Um, he said this.
Speaker 1: Packers head coach Mike McCarthy's Dvante Adams won't practice today
Speaker 1: doing like to to a calf injury. Neither Randall CoV
Speaker 1: hamstring or Geroni will Alison concussion. Packers down their top
Speaker 1: three wide receivers today and maybe beyond. And when Schefter
Speaker 1: says maybe beyond it, that hasn't hold his deal beyond today,
Speaker 1: Like maybe they're out tomorrow, doesn't mean they're out for
Speaker 1: like the rest of it. I'm being too nervous about that.
Speaker 1: You think I think you're reading into that a little
Speaker 1: bit too much. I would, personally, as the Davanta Adams
Speaker 1: owner in multiple leagues, like I am nervous for sure,
Speaker 1: Like there's definitely a chance that all three of those
Speaker 1: guys missed this game this week. I wouldn't be shocked,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't freak out about beyond this week.
Speaker 1: Right now, that seems very very spec not freaking out
Speaker 1: about about this week, as you should be and as
Speaker 1: all Davanta Adams owner should be. Unfortunately, we won't talk
Speaker 1: DR about Davante Adams. Yeah, I mean, look rightfully, So
Speaker 1: we give we give DR a list of players and
Speaker 1: those are the players that he researches. So we're you know,
Speaker 1: we're not just gonna spring this on him what not
Speaker 1: necessarily fair to him. We will ask him about John Willison, Randall, Cob.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll give us up on Jamante Adams as well,
Speaker 1: though that would be cool. Greg, My rankings are live.
Speaker 1: What did you want to call the high five thing?
Speaker 1: You had like a really catchy nickname for it. It
Speaker 1: was like the best five. Well it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: f yeah, but you had like an acronym for it,
Speaker 1: Like what was the acronym? It was like Frank's best
Speaker 1: Fantasy five something like that? Is that what it is?
Speaker 1: The best Fantasy five? Maybe not Frank's just the best
Speaker 1: Fantasy five. That's Fantasy five. Run that by Scotty. It
Speaker 1: sounded better last week. You don't like it as much now.
Speaker 1: I may have had a better tune to it last week. Well,
Speaker 1: they're live on rdal Experts dot com. Right now you
Speaker 1: can see my rankings for free bfs BF best Fantasy five.
Speaker 1: That's what that was. That was what it was. It
Speaker 1: was definitely best Fantasy five. It's fantasy five. Alright, that's
Speaker 1: fantasy confidence. Have you looked at it yet? All? That's
Speaker 1: not good? Do you want to reveal it yet? Other
Speaker 1: news from today, Joe Nixon back at practice. This is
Speaker 1: good news rather than some of the injury news we
Speaker 1: have with the Packers. Yeah, and Giovanni Bernard is not
Speaker 1: practicing dealing with a knee injury, so that is UM
Speaker 1: an interesting turn of events. I know that he's kind
Speaker 1: of this has kind of been his schedule of the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, Like he hasn't practiced, They've been
Speaker 1: giving him maintenance days. UM, And ranking the Bengals running
Speaker 1: backs this week is kind of hard because I think
Speaker 1: I have them both inside my top twenty four as
Speaker 1: of now. Because the over the last two weeks, the
Speaker 1: Dolphins are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing running backs,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure last week has a lot to do
Speaker 1: with that with James White going off and Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: going off. UM, But the Dolphins are kind of reeling
Speaker 1: right now, so this could be a good matchup before
Speaker 1: the Bengals. It's just obviously Joe Mixon will be a
Speaker 1: lot more valuable if Giovanni Bernard is out. But if
Speaker 1: they both play, let's say, they're probably both more like
Speaker 1: Loewend RB two's or high end flex options. They both
Speaker 1: if Giovanni Bernard is out, probably like a top fifteen
Speaker 1: running back. I have more a little bit more competence
Speaker 1: in Joe Mixon than you do. I said the yesterday
Speaker 1: on the show that I go out and trade for him.
Speaker 1: I trust them a little bit more. Evans tweeted this
Speaker 1: a little while ago, and that was a great tweet.
Speaker 1: He goes Bengals pass cashier update, Tyler Eiffert out for
Speaker 1: the year, John Ross growing questionable, Giovanni Bernard knee questionable,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon leg questionable, A J Green, Xavian Howard, Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd Yati he's going to eat Gregg. He's going to eat.
Speaker 1: So I will present this to you again. Should I
Speaker 1: trade Mike Evans in my home league? Mike Evans Kenny Stills,
Speaker 1: you say now? And Kenyan Drake for Mary Cooper. Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd and Derrick Henry. Should I do it one and three?
Speaker 1: I need to win. No. The other trade to have
Speaker 1: on the table is Kareem Hunt and Kenny Stills. I
Speaker 1: give that up to get David Johnson and Juliettel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's I can do that deal. That's what
Speaker 1: you can do? Is that? Now? Are you you do?
Speaker 1: You do both trades the league? Yeah? That's crazy changing
Speaker 1: my whole team. It's fun. Would you do both? No? Probably?
Speaker 1: Not all right? I kind of need to revamp team.
Speaker 1: Like I have Sammy Watkins going up against the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: If Keelan Cole, you don't know what to expect from
Speaker 1: that guy. Chris Hogan not playing him tonight. He's broadcast
Speaker 1: score like three touchdowns and he stills. He sucks. Mike
Speaker 1: Williams doesn't play enough, snaps sucks man. I'm sorry, man.
Speaker 1: October it sucks. Rock October starts to what it? You know?
Speaker 1: Rocked over? Oh. Normally we have like some for lack
Speaker 1: of a better term, douche who gives us a thumbs
Speaker 1: down to start the show every single day. It hasn't
Speaker 1: happened today, Someone's probably gonna do it. Was stupid for
Speaker 1: mentioning that that wasn't your rightest decision. Well whatever, it
Speaker 1: just it gives me confidence that we're doing a good job.
Speaker 1: Thirteen minutes into the show. You're gonna pull my rankings
Speaker 1: at any point? Probably not. I'm going to pull your ranking.
Speaker 1: I was gonna do it after the break. We have
Speaker 1: dr A coming up. We have a whole lot of
Speaker 1: show left with preview Thursday Night Football. Are you excited
Speaker 1: about tonight's game? I'm not watching it actually, Oh it's uh,
Speaker 1: you know what it is, Patriots Colts. It like a
Speaker 1: baking show tonight. No, no, no, no, no, no, you
Speaker 1: wanta know what I'm doing tonight? Sure? So I will
Speaker 1: be going to the Melrouse Ballroom in Long Island City.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, you're seeing some boogie hipster band or something.
Speaker 1: Try again. Uh, let's see here, ball rooge hipster band again,
Speaker 1: not a hipster and probably like Billy Joel or something.
Speaker 1: Joe's not playing the Melrose ball Room. Try again. Oh
Speaker 1: you're gonna go watch something wrestling? Yeah, we want to
Speaker 1: m l W tonight. M Major League Wrestling because that
Speaker 1: one of their champions is my old camper, right right right,
Speaker 1: JF Maxwell, Jacob Friedman. He's wrestling tonight. I like that.
Speaker 1: We just do like three lettered things for everything. It's
Speaker 1: his nickname now, it's not. I didn't make that up. No,
Speaker 1: it's not. M JF is recently on Stone Colds podcast. Really. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So he's kind of a big deal. Kind of a
Speaker 1: big deal now. So we're going to um Simon Dotts
Speaker 1: wrestles there. A bunch of people wrestled there, like John
Speaker 1: Morrison might be there tonight potentially. Wow, good for you.
Speaker 1: So anyway, maybe streaming the Colts game on your phone.
Speaker 1: Probably not, probably not. Maybe. So he's my old caver
Speaker 1: and oddly enough one of my best friends I was
Speaker 1: agree wasmen in his wedding. Um his wife's now it's
Speaker 1: their first cousin. So they're like a family relation there.
Speaker 1: So him and I are going to support my old
Speaker 1: camper tonight and and check it out supporting independent wrestling.
Speaker 1: That's cool, man. I'm looking through the roster right now.
Speaker 1: There's definitely some there's some interesting you know. I had
Speaker 1: the last at the last taping I think in New York,
Speaker 1: like Pentagon was there jor to night. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be there that I think they already
Speaker 1: said he's not going to be that. The park is
Speaker 1: going to be there. There's probably like three people who
Speaker 1: were watching or listening that know what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's all right, man, we know they're talking about you.
Speaker 1: Asked as well, Jacob Friedman, Oh, this guy kind of
Speaker 1: has like an E C three things. Yes, exactly, he's
Speaker 1: basically EC three but smaller. Yeah, he's like a cocky
Speaker 1: like he's wearing a Burberry scars. That's the look. That's
Speaker 1: kind of a cool gimmick. I guess signature moved Southampton's plunge. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's he's like a Long Island douche. That's the character.
Speaker 1: So what made you the wrestling support? It will be
Speaker 1: on probably seen on TV. Actually about this because this
Speaker 1: will is this a TV somewhere? It does on be
Speaker 1: in sports Okay, so lot of soccer on beings exactly.
Speaker 1: So it airs on Friday evenings, So I don't know
Speaker 1: when tonight's well tape um, but I'm obviously going to
Speaker 1: just like reading through the bio stuff like this is
Speaker 1: so easy. Three pro wrestlings first, one per center. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like so easy. That's a little Ivy leaguer Maxwell
Speaker 1: Jacob Friedman enjoys the finer things in life. He did
Speaker 1: not go to Ivy League school. That's false, it's fake news.
Speaker 1: Come on, dude, why are you crushing the I don't
Speaker 1: even think he says it. Don't crush the cafe? Abe Sorry,
Speaker 1: man excited talk about injuries, doctor, Yeah, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of injuries because it was doctor right. I want
Speaker 1: a preview Thursday Night football as well, and we'll's your rankings.
Speaker 1: Of course, to Frank Cults, Patriots should be fun. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a hard game to kind of
Speaker 1: to handicap tonight ten and a half points spread. The
Speaker 1: Patriots always pick the crap out of the Colts. It's true.
Speaker 1: I saw a few betting trends and your luck never
Speaker 1: plays well. But like the Patriots defense is that rate
Speaker 1: t y Hilton could be a let down game for
Speaker 1: the cold Sto. Like Andrew looks at that monster performance
Speaker 1: last week, I think they're gonna have rocked, do you
Speaker 1: think so? Yeah? Kind of leaning with you right now.
Speaker 1: A lot of money coming in on the under right now.
Speaker 1: Actually look about down. We can look about that a
Speaker 1: little bit later on when we come back. Dr a
Speaker 1: inside Injuries will join us. No more Major League wrestling
Speaker 1: talk promise I was talking dr and injury update is

Speaker 1: you that Fantasy Factor is the only DFS site with
Speaker 1: exclusively single entry contest. It's a fun and recreational place

Speaker 1: back there dot com. That's Fantasy back There dot com.
Speaker 1: Probably you do that, Frank, Yes, you should and you
Speaker 1: who oh to jump back in. Yes, oh, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: Let's do it after this. Yeah, we've been out of
Speaker 1: the loop a little bit for the past couple of
Speaker 1: weeks for Survivor, because of course we took the vikings
Speaker 1: and it is so stupid. Dr A from incident injuries.
Speaker 1: He's not stupid. What's going on? Doc? Hey, guys, how's
Speaker 1: it gone? It's going all right? How about yourself? I'm
Speaker 1: doing great. I'm doing great. That's fantastic. You know who's
Speaker 1: not doing eight? Green Bay where all of their wide
Speaker 1: receivers now injured. Jeronimo Allison was concussed, Randall Colls got
Speaker 1: the hamstring all of a sudden today Davante Adams heard
Speaker 1: his calf. What is the latest on the wide receivers
Speaker 1: in Green Bay? So, Geronimo Allison, Uh, you know Grade
Speaker 1: two concussions one, Yeah, So we don't think it's just
Speaker 1: a simple concussion. We feel like it's a grade two
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's his first of all, and
Speaker 1: it's a second documented concussion since entering the NFL, so
Speaker 1: um he this is his actual second documented concussion. So
Speaker 1: right now, we don't think he should come back before
Speaker 1: weeks seven. Okay, So, and so if he does, he
Speaker 1: didn't practice Wednesday, not a good sign. Um, and so
Speaker 1: he's still in concussion protocol even if he is clear
Speaker 1: to start in week five. Um, we feel that he's
Speaker 1: putting himself at risk on the data shows that. And
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, uh, he's still he's gonna remain at
Speaker 1: elevated injury risk on the border of high injury risk
Speaker 1: all the way up to a week seven until in
Speaker 1: our books, he'll be ready to go. So it's not
Speaker 1: as simple as Uh, we feel that it's not as
Speaker 1: simple as as many people are saying. So maybe you
Speaker 1: should trade Geron Whileison for for mvs. Greggy Marquez Valdes
Speaker 1: Scanty who. You know, it's a very interesting wide receiver
Speaker 1: prospect for the Packers because you might not know this.
Speaker 1: He's six ft four, he made some noise in the preseason.
Speaker 1: He's extremely fast, So the only thing with him is
Speaker 1: he's kind of raw. So I don't know take that
Speaker 1: for what it is. But if you're gonna take a
Speaker 1: raw wide receiver who's extremely big and fast, I guess
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to take him with Aaron Rodgers, right,
Speaker 1: So that might make the most sense there. Uh, Dr,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Leonard Fournett because as
Speaker 1: usual fantasy owners when they see an injury like this
Speaker 1: strike and they're sitting pretty at four and oh and
Speaker 1: three and one, they like to have injury optimism. And
Speaker 1: we get a lot of questions, should I trade for
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett now so I can have him for the
Speaker 1: long haul? Now, I've seen reports that say Leonard four
Speaker 1: net can be out as far as through their week
Speaker 1: nine by so he wouldn't be back until week ten. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I have a feeling that you're probably going to
Speaker 1: someone agree with that. How long is one four net
Speaker 1: gonna be out with? Well? So, first of all, it
Speaker 1: is a re aggravation of a hamstring injury, which is
Speaker 1: always not good. Um. And uh, you know, even though
Speaker 1: the m r I what they're saying, showed that injury
Speaker 1: isn't worse than the initial hamstring injury, the fact that
Speaker 1: it's actually a trick and so when so the m
Speaker 1: r I showed that the injury wasn't any worse than
Speaker 1: the initial hamstring injury. So when he had the initial
Speaker 1: hamstring injury in week one, it did heal all the
Speaker 1: way like it should have been, and now it's re
Speaker 1: aggravated all the way back, so there's worsening from when
Speaker 1: you know it healed all the way back, which is
Speaker 1: actually worse than the original injury because you've hit the
Speaker 1: muscle twice now in the last five weeks with an injury,
Speaker 1: and that's for anything that's not really that good. So
Speaker 1: hopefully I didn't confuse everybody, but he had elevated, he
Speaker 1: was elevated injury risk at before this uh injury reaggravation.
Speaker 1: So we were watching him, we were watching and we
Speaker 1: felt that he was at one in five chance of
Speaker 1: actually reinjuring it, and he did, and now he's at
Speaker 1: high injury risk and pour HPF. His HTR that we're
Speaker 1: projecting is week eight and with one caveat if he
Speaker 1: doesn't reaggravate it or have a setback in practice or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Otherwise you could see week nine, week ten,
Speaker 1: week eleven. Um, you know that sort of thing. So
Speaker 1: the Jaguars do have a little bit of a luxury
Speaker 1: here because of their record. So um, I would say
Speaker 1: if anything before week it, I'd be very surprised, very surprised.
Speaker 1: And I actually have t J Yelden ranked inside my
Speaker 1: top ten this week, greggy at the running back position
Speaker 1: basically because they're going up against the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: who are allowing a ton of receptions and a ton
Speaker 1: of receiving yards and running backs and that's really where
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden can excel. He's actually fit into this
Speaker 1: offense quite seamlessly. T J. Yelden, that is so um.
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to be cautious with Leonard Fournett.
Speaker 1: They need him for the long haul, they need him
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, they need him, you know, to be
Speaker 1: healthy for that part of the season. I think for
Speaker 1: the next three or four weeks, you have a borderline
Speaker 1: RB one in your hands if you have t J. Yellen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are hio on t J. Yelden
Speaker 1: not realizing or the mainstream has not realized. Ultimately, I
Speaker 1: believe he's been a top twelve running back in number
Speaker 1: eleven overall in fantasy scoring. So they got the first
Speaker 1: four weeks this season, so a top twelve PBR running back,
Speaker 1: as we said, and without Leonard four Nett, that position
Speaker 1: is gonna hold true, you know, but Leonard for a
Speaker 1: t J. Yelding guy going all the back to all
Speaker 1: the way back to Alabama. It's happy for the kid.
Speaker 1: There you go, Doctor, I want that's so old saying
Speaker 1: that happy for the kid. Mappy for the kid. Were
Speaker 1: like something like that. Dr. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: about your Atlanta Falcons and DeVante Freeman, who is back
Speaker 1: at practice and expected back for week five. Um. Is
Speaker 1: this the date that he was expect to return according
Speaker 1: to Inside Injuries and we expect him to have a
Speaker 1: full workload in his first game back. Yeah, week five
Speaker 1: was the time preper we were sort of concordant with that,
Speaker 1: and and so we're good. He We haven't heard any
Speaker 1: reports of any setbacks during his recovery. So that's a
Speaker 1: really good sign, you know. Um. You know, in that
Speaker 1: same knee, he had an m c L and PCLS
Speaker 1: brain last season. UM, and so he you know, he's recovered. Well,
Speaker 1: he was limited in practice Wednesday, but I think that's
Speaker 1: only from a precautionary standpoint, and so you know he
Speaker 1: was he right now currently as high at high injury risk.
Speaker 1: But that's at this moment, right up till game time. UM,
Speaker 1: that thing, you know, that number should drop down to elevated. UM. Again,
Speaker 1: it's DeVante Freeman. Um from this particular injury he did
Speaker 1: heal from, but his injury risk will not be at low,
Speaker 1: It'll be at elevated. He's one, He's going to be
Speaker 1: an elevated and peak guy, high risk, high reward um.
Speaker 1: So make sure you have an insurance policy because um,
Speaker 1: you know he will still be at elevated injury risk
Speaker 1: of likely eighteen to nine. Greggy, if you're a DeVonta
Speaker 1: Freeman owner, do you think now is it time to
Speaker 1: try and strike and get Tevin Coleman because the value
Speaker 1: is lower than it was obviously the past couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think it has to be. Yeah, I completely
Speaker 1: agree with you. I completely, completely utterly agree with Coleman.
Speaker 1: Now Devant Freeman back, this is the time to buy.
Speaker 1: You don't have a choice about it. We're talking to
Speaker 1: dr Ay from Inside Injuries and doct tonight. We have
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Cults, a couple of major injury
Speaker 1: issues for both sides here with Gronk being questionable and
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton being out. Will Gronk plate tonight and
Speaker 1: how long do you think Hulton me out? So t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton is you know Grade one hamstring. This is
Speaker 1: the he's got the hamstring injury reward for the last
Speaker 1: four seasons because he's at it two thousand fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: and seventeen and now two thousand eighteen and so um.
Speaker 1: But the interesting thing is is that um t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton had did not have any hamstring issue over the offseason, preseason,
Speaker 1: anything like that, and so this is a very minor injury.
Speaker 1: So the good news is that it hasn't been as
Speaker 1: severe as previous hamstring injuries. So healthy to return right
Speaker 1: now is week six, So yes, glad that he's sitting
Speaker 1: out Week five. He should be good to go week six.
Speaker 1: He's at high injury risk right now. He likely will
Speaker 1: not get back down to low injuries. He'll stay at
Speaker 1: elevated throughout the rest of the year, and if he
Speaker 1: has one more injury, he will remain at high. So again,
Speaker 1: this is like a DeVante Freeman type of strategy that
Speaker 1: you guys just talked about. You need an insurance policy
Speaker 1: with t Y Hilton. He plays through a lot of injuries,
Speaker 1: but that does not necessarily help fantasy players because he
Speaker 1: may play through them, but his performance may not be
Speaker 1: He may be on the on the on the field,
Speaker 1: but his performance may not be um, you know, at peak.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you about Joe mixing dr
Speaker 1: A because he's practicing again today. Giovanni Bernard has not
Speaker 1: been practicing, so it seems like they just kind of
Speaker 1: need a running back healthy at this point. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's just um scheduled days off for you've
Speaker 1: don't even know. I feel like he hasn't been practicing
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. But oh long, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure you guys have said that Joel makes you should
Speaker 1: be out longer than week five. I don't have a
Speaker 1: good feeling about this. What say you about Joe Mixon? Doctor,
Speaker 1: this is uh danger Joe Mixon danger if he comes
Speaker 1: back before week eight, he has he's he's at twenty
Speaker 1: six to twenty eight percent injury risk and re injury risk. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a you know, way way too
Speaker 1: soon if he's you know, I've expected to try to
Speaker 1: come back week five. Um, you know, and this is
Speaker 1: one of those things where he's so far from the timeline.
Speaker 1: Uh and you know, UM, it's such a disparity between
Speaker 1: when you know the team, when we think that the
Speaker 1: team is saying he's going to come back versus what
Speaker 1: our algorithm and data is showing. It's week eight, guys,
Speaker 1: and that's it. It's basically that he'll stay here's at
Speaker 1: high injury risk until he gets to week eight. That's
Speaker 1: not good. That it's not good. No, we eat, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's so far away. Yeah, I know, because all along
Speaker 1: they were saying two to three weeks, but inside injuries,
Speaker 1: when every week that we've had them on they're saying
Speaker 1: four to six weeks. Right closer to that six weeks timetable. Yeah, great,
Speaker 1: three great. Three. Knee injury meniscus. It's a meniscus tears.
Speaker 1: Running back putting a ton of pounding on those knees
Speaker 1: and ankles. I mean that is uh running back meniscus,
Speaker 1: highly high chance of recurrence and re injury rate if
Speaker 1: he doesn't get fully healed. We're talking to doctor from
Speaker 1: inside Injuries. And although I didn't get m v S,
Speaker 1: I did get Caerin Braid, who's on a buy. I
Speaker 1: spent a dollar on him. James Winsteon is back and O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard is out. How long should we expect O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard to be out for the bucks. So grade two
Speaker 1: m c L s brain UM not torn, which is great,
Speaker 1: but as optimal covery time is three weeks healthy to
Speaker 1: return week seven, So he still needs a couple more
Speaker 1: weeks to get that completely done. The biggest thing about
Speaker 1: tight ends is that lateral movement in blocking, and you know,
Speaker 1: there's such a big body that m c L needs
Speaker 1: to completely heal to have that stability at the knee level,
Speaker 1: and so any pain that he suffers, it's going to
Speaker 1: really impact him. And so that's why we're recommending week seven,
Speaker 1: UM not week six. You know, it's interesting, same injury
Speaker 1: I think doc as Evan Ingram. And is it the
Speaker 1: same timeline there as well? Do you remember, UM, I
Speaker 1: believe we gave UM. I'm trying to see what we
Speaker 1: gave Evan Ingram. UM. Let me think here. I think
Speaker 1: we I think it is the same timeline. UM. I
Speaker 1: don't have the data in front of me, but I
Speaker 1: do believe it's the same time frame. Both both had
Speaker 1: sprain m c ls in that name of leave was
Speaker 1: both green grade two U neither tore their m c L.
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram working his way back, there would be a
Speaker 1: second miss game. We'll see if he can um start
Speaker 1: practicing next week ultimately come back a week later. So
Speaker 1: I think I feel like the timetable for Evan Ingram
Speaker 1: was two to four weeks, right, and that sound is
Speaker 1: like kind of a similar timetable that doctor is giving
Speaker 1: us here now for O. J. Howard, Uh, Doc, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about Will Fuller. This actually just
Speaker 1: came out eight minutes ago that his hamstring is quote
Speaker 1: not bothering him at this stage of the week. But
Speaker 1: you know, this was something he dealt with in the preseason.
Speaker 1: It's something that forced him to miss week one, and
Speaker 1: then now he played. He's performed well in weeks two
Speaker 1: and three, and in this past week he actually reinjured
Speaker 1: it and didn't come back in the second half. They
Speaker 1: said he could have returned, but they're being cautious with him. Uh.
Speaker 1: It kind of seems like it's one of those situations
Speaker 1: where maybe they should let him sit out until he's
Speaker 1: completely healthy. And there are a lot of implications here
Speaker 1: because people picked up Kiki Kota, who was the next
Speaker 1: wide receiver up in Houston, So there are a lot
Speaker 1: of implications here for both him and the owners who
Speaker 1: picked up Kiki, which we expect out of Will Fuller
Speaker 1: in week five. Yeah, We've always had Will Fuller at
Speaker 1: high injury risk? Who was before this injury and reaggravation
Speaker 1: based on all the data that we have on him,
Speaker 1: he was high injury risk. Who's at who's at peak
Speaker 1: health at the time, but he was at high injury
Speaker 1: risk because he's a wide receiver, multiple previous hamstring and
Speaker 1: knee injuries. And so the biggest thing here is is
Speaker 1: that it's a Grade one hamstring. It's not a great
Speaker 1: to thank God, but because it's he's a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: we have a two week opteral more recovery time, so
Speaker 1: it's really an HTR week six. So if he does
Speaker 1: play in week five, lookout for another one of these,
Speaker 1: you know, reaggravation of the hamstring um because high injury
Speaker 1: risk right now. I don't even want to tell you
Speaker 1: guys what we have on the percentage for high right now,
Speaker 1: but it's for if he plays in week five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that makes a lot of sense. While we're talking
Speaker 1: about wide receivers with hamstrings, We've had t Y Hilton,
Speaker 1: we have Will Fuller, we also have Sammy Watkins. Doc.
Speaker 1: Maybe this's like a two part question I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: two different ways here, because why do wide receivers so
Speaker 1: often pull their hamstring? Like, is there something that they
Speaker 1: can do better to prep themselves so that we don't
Speaker 1: get these hamstrings week in week out. It feels like
Speaker 1: every single week we have five different wide receivers who
Speaker 1: are pulling their hamstrings coming up lane, leaving game because
Speaker 1: of a hamstring strain, missing games because of a hamstring train.
Speaker 1: We expect Sammy Watkins this week because he left early
Speaker 1: in that game on Monday Night Football, a lot of
Speaker 1: people were depending on him. Give us a zero. And
Speaker 1: now this week he goes up against the Jacksonville Jaguars secondary,
Speaker 1: which is a very very tough secondary. Even if he plays,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be you know, all that valuable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So answer your first question. I've always said, and Greg
Speaker 1: knows this, um. You know, hamstring injuries for wide receivers
Speaker 1: are is the biggest, biggest issue. And it's there no
Speaker 1: pun intended achilles heel. The biggest reason why is because
Speaker 1: they go through they go to zero, they go zero
Speaker 1: through sixty and initiate that movement. It's all hamstrings when
Speaker 1: you see them on the line, of scrimmage and the
Speaker 1: ball is snapped and they initiate that first movement. Guess
Speaker 1: what muscle is used. It's the hamstring muscles to to
Speaker 1: lift the knee up and start going as fast as
Speaker 1: they can. They do a lot of running and then
Speaker 1: and that initial movement is all hamstring. And so in
Speaker 1: cold weather, if they're a little bit injured, if they're
Speaker 1: not completely stressed, out stretched out, or just sometimes it
Speaker 1: just happens, you know. Uh, that's why it's it's the hamstring,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to come back from for wide receivers.
Speaker 1: That's why, like, for example, Sammy Watkins grade one hamstrings
Speaker 1: train just a Grade one, it's not a Grade two
Speaker 1: or three. It's fine. However, it is so sensitive to
Speaker 1: our receiver. We have to have a two week optimal
Speaker 1: recovery time. So week six is probably the way to go.
Speaker 1: But he's always been an elevated injury risk. You guys
Speaker 1: know Sammy Watkins history, We know all of the wide
Speaker 1: receivers and you know their data in the NFL. He's
Speaker 1: at high injury risk right now and likely will stay
Speaker 1: there now because this is probably the sixth or seventh
Speaker 1: injuries had over the last twelve months, and you know
Speaker 1: that's just what our algorithm is saying. So week six
Speaker 1: healthy to return, but he will remain at high injury risk.
Speaker 1: So he's another one of these guys where you know
Speaker 1: you could you know, I keep kind of referencing Davante
Speaker 1: Freeman's strategy here, but it could be one of those things. Again.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing we buy Sammy Watkins every year.
Speaker 1: This is the He's gonna stay healthy, this is the
Speaker 1: year the breakouts gonna happen. Was he was valuable, sure
Speaker 1: putting up number and then the same thing happens that
Speaker 1: those every year he gets hurt. It's not normally a
Speaker 1: hampsturing injury form, but I like everything else. Come on, dude,
Speaker 1: it's annoying in the week where in the league where
Speaker 1: I'm one than three and I own him, I might
Speaker 1: just shop him just to see what I can get.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure everybody should do that, but based on
Speaker 1: his name value, you might be able to get something
Speaker 1: from makes sense. Today, we last player to ask you
Speaker 1: about Dr Adrian Peterson's the latest on him. Okay, so
Speaker 1: very quickly grade one ankle sprain. Um you know his
Speaker 1: complete history. He didn't practice Wednesday, which is not a
Speaker 1: good sign. He was high injury risk before this injury
Speaker 1: and now he's still at high injurisk forty nine percent,
Speaker 1: So it's two week optimal recovery time. He should be
Speaker 1: back week five, but I would not. You know, we're
Speaker 1: recommending that you should trade him because um, you know,
Speaker 1: he's at a forty percent injury risk and he will
Speaker 1: only go down to a forty to a thirty nine percent.
Speaker 1: Always going to be high, high risk. Hiro were a
Speaker 1: type of player now, And I think this sets up
Speaker 1: for a big Chris Thomps Thomps again because they're going
Speaker 1: up against the Saints in the Dome. I believe Drew
Speaker 1: Brees is chasing history. The Saints are also big favorites
Speaker 1: in this game. It's gonna be a lot of back
Speaker 1: and forth. The Washington could be trailing, so I think
Speaker 1: it sets up for a big Chris Thompson week. Greet.
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think it would be a massive,
Speaker 1: massive Christ Thompson week. Adrian Peterson banged up again, They're
Speaker 1: gonna be trailing and trying to come back and love
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson this week. Dr a inside injuries, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. We'll do it again next week.

Speaker 1: four getting rankings, Let's do it. It is week five
Speaker 1: here in the NFL, the National Football League, Frankie, when
Speaker 1: you're start quarterbacks that were normally start right, you want
Speaker 1: or you want to do the BF, the FSBF, whatever
Speaker 1: you want, I'm gonna do the quarterbacks. All right, We'll
Speaker 1: start with the quarterbacks. You're number one quarterback. This week's
Speaker 1: big Ben Roethlisberger. That's kind of where everybody has him
Speaker 1: in a hasty match up against Atlanta the first time
Speaker 1: in since Week one. I believe in the league where
Speaker 1: I have Patrick Mahomes and Ben Roethlisberger starting, I'm doing
Speaker 1: the same exact thing in a league where I have
Speaker 1: both of those guys. It's actually the Flex League. I
Speaker 1: think it makes sense. Patrick Mahomes going up against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: I think we expect a big game out of the
Speaker 1: Steelers and Big Bandits is a borderline must win game
Speaker 1: for them. They're at home. We know the home road
Speaker 1: splits at a big end. The Falcons defense has allowed
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks over the last
Speaker 1: two weeks. Reggy, this game has a total of fifty
Speaker 1: seven and a half points. That is the highest total
Speaker 1: of the year to this point the National Football League.
Speaker 1: So that makes my number two quarterback Ryan. Makes sense
Speaker 1: that Ryan, that game is going to be one you
Speaker 1: want to stack in DFS and one that you want
Speaker 1: to just pour in and taking the overnight game. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of points. I mean, you probably should. You
Speaker 1: probably should, but that of course, that's the public perception
Speaker 1: and I probably I love Franks still against public perception
Speaker 1: these days. It's like that's this new thing, but that's
Speaker 1: the big news thing because I mean, look, I consider
Speaker 1: myself part of the public. I'm not a professional better
Speaker 1: by any means on any games. So you know, like
Speaker 1: to bet overs generally, of course, nobody wants nobody wants
Speaker 1: a route for un there. I mean I probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: touch it. I don't know that I touched the game.
Speaker 1: I think actually like the bet there in that game,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to touch the game is I would
Speaker 1: take the Falcons money line can win the game. I
Speaker 1: can see the Steelers defense is bad as bad as
Speaker 1: it is right now. I can see that. I'm just
Speaker 1: a matter of do you think the Steelers back against
Speaker 1: the wall, their backs are against the wall so much
Speaker 1: that they just come out firing and they just like
Speaker 1: trounced the Falcons. I don't know that that happens. It's
Speaker 1: probably a close game regardless. Okay, Um, going back to
Speaker 1: your rankings here, I'm trying to find something that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Do you have Aaron Rodgers at number ten and I
Speaker 1: was reading something on with all of his wide receivers out?
Speaker 1: Is Aaron Rodgers a must start? Would you consider moving
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers down of all three wide receivers are out,
Speaker 1: I would. In the Detroit Lions secondary um and their
Speaker 1: defense specifically has been very good in the past couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. Even in that first week, it looks on
Speaker 1: paper like they gave up a lot of points, like
Speaker 1: their defense played terribly, But that was really Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: turning the ball over a ton and putting their defense
Speaker 1: and bad positions on the field. Plus the Jets scored
Speaker 1: a ton um of points on defensive touchdowns and special
Speaker 1: teams touchdowns, so you know the Lions defense has actually
Speaker 1: been pretty damn good. And if Aaron Rodgers is without
Speaker 1: his top three receiving options, I have him at ten
Speaker 1: right now. If all three of those guys don't play,
Speaker 1: I could see moving him down to like moving Stafford,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Blake Portals all ahead of him. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't look at him, No, I have Andrew look at fourteen.
Speaker 1: He's right behind Blake Portles like he's done and he
Speaker 1: did actually last week to like get back in my
Speaker 1: good graces somewhat like I've moved him up. But again,
Speaker 1: how much can you like a guy when he's missing
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. We think that this is kind of
Speaker 1: a trap game, like he's gonna be playing from behind
Speaker 1: and they can't run, so like he's gonna have to throw.
Speaker 1: And I think he's high end QB two. But I
Speaker 1: just think those guys right ahead of him, like Lake Portals,
Speaker 1: uh is in play for a great match up here
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs. We know that in games
Speaker 1: that Leonard Fournett doesn't play. Blake Bortles is fantasy gold
Speaker 1: uh and going up against secondary that obviously only helps
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. You can't run the football against the Eagles defense.
Speaker 1: Like the way to attack the Eagles defenses through the air,
Speaker 1: and the Vikings have great wide receivers. We just saw
Speaker 1: that a week ago on Thursday night when they played
Speaker 1: against the Rams defense, which is a very good defense,
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins still managed to light them up with
Speaker 1: his weapons. So Bortles, Cousins and then even Stafford, who
Speaker 1: now the Packers secondary. I know they did better against
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen, but I still overall don't trust him.
Speaker 1: And Stafford has enough weapons to the point where I
Speaker 1: like him, Like Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Golden Tape.
Speaker 1: I like all three of those quarterbacks better than Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1: I'm very surprised. I guess not surprised. I was staring
Speaker 1: at it and see where pass him? Um is Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles right now that he's love right, he's number thirteen,
Speaker 1: But I thought he'd be wind up being a Q
Speaker 1: one this week because the tasties match and some people
Speaker 1: rank rank Blake Bortles ahead of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that was actually what I was comparing. And Mahomes still
Speaker 1: makes your top six the toughest matchup we could possibly
Speaker 1: have interesting. Yeah, And and I'm higher on the consensus
Speaker 1: than him. But if you look at the players that
Speaker 1: I have just behind him, right, Tom Brady, what has
Speaker 1: he done to really inspire confidence? DeShawn Watson. He's had
Speaker 1: a few big games, but he's been inconsistent, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is actually pretty damn good. Jared Goff, Like,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the one that you can argue should be hiring.
Speaker 1: My rankings, I have him ninth, but like in an
Speaker 1: NFC West matchup against the Seahawks in Seattle where their
Speaker 1: defense has played better this year at home obviously when
Speaker 1: they have a fake twelfth man or whatever it is. Um,
Speaker 1: I think he's adequately ranked at nine. So the only
Speaker 1: guys that I like more than than Patrick Mahomes this
Speaker 1: week our Rivers, Cam Newton, Breese, Ryan and Roethlisberger. And
Speaker 1: it's just based on the matchup do you have? Do
Speaker 1: you think I have my homes right to do? I do? Ultimately,
Speaker 1: if you own Patrick Mahomes and Blake Portals, who would
Speaker 1: you start? I think they want to start Blake Man.
Speaker 1: You're the one who just ranted to me earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. Don't start bad players in good matchups, you
Speaker 1: went on rant. I'm saying you're right, I'm agreeing with
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with you. That's a stupid thing. I'm being wrong. There,
Speaker 1: good call, you're right, you're right. Let me in to
Speaker 1: the tight ends? Cool. Yes, let's say I usually see
Speaker 1: the runing backs of wider series for tomorrow and I
Speaker 1: do half to them to do PPR standard. Uh, probably standard,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter not to standard, nod to play standard. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go only we do an elite together. It's
Speaker 1: it's you know, we'll not my choice only. I was
Speaker 1: inviting to um, well, we'll go to the PPR and
Speaker 1: Jerry Cooke a top three tight end in the consensus. Well,
Speaker 1: Frank has it and everybody has it. Why Jack Cook's
Speaker 1: number one tight end and Fantasy football for the first
Speaker 1: five weeks, first four weeks, number one number. You know
Speaker 1: he's the best and he has locked in that role
Speaker 1: as being the number one or two options in the
Speaker 1: Oakland offense. You don't want to say you can trust
Speaker 1: big foot, but it certainly seems like you can. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the number one tight end. As you've mentioned, he's
Speaker 1: top three this year in terms of tight end targets. Um,
Speaker 1: he has thirty five targets on the season. So yeah,
Speaker 1: at this point, look, if Gronk play tonight, if I
Speaker 1: had both of these players like, I would still play Gronk.
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm playing Jared Cook over him. But
Speaker 1: I think outside the top three tight ends Kelsey Earth
Speaker 1: and Gronk, Garret Cook is the next man up, which
Speaker 1: is absolutely crazy to say, but um, that's the way
Speaker 1: that John Gruden in the Raiders offense is choosing to
Speaker 1: attack defenses right Amari Cooper. His usage has been inconsistent,
Speaker 1: his production has been inconsistent. Um, And I just feel
Speaker 1: like Jared Cook is going to continue to be the
Speaker 1: target monster for the Oapen Raiders offense. So I trust
Speaker 1: him in this matchup against the Chargers. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see why there's any reason not to, to be honest,
Speaker 1: which means he's probably gonna be like, yeah, three for twenty.
Speaker 1: I I just so I'd assume. So I have Jared
Speaker 1: Cook rank too high, No, I don't think so it's
Speaker 1: reactionary totally. I think he moved Jimmy him. If none
Speaker 1: of these Packers play, Jimmy Graham's going to move up.
Speaker 1: You have a Gronk the highest of anyone I've seen
Speaker 1: this week. You have an inside your top five. I'm
Speaker 1: sure people weren't sure he's going to play tonight. Um,
Speaker 1: I guess he's not in the big game if he does.
Speaker 1: This is just the Gronk ranking, right, Like if he plays,
Speaker 1: where would you like, would you rank him any differently?
Speaker 1: Like I guess based on the information we have on
Speaker 1: the Packers right now, if you wanted to rank Jimmy
Speaker 1: Graham ahead of him, you could do that. But then
Speaker 1: like Jordan Read can have a fine game, Does he
Speaker 1: have as much upside as Rob Gronkowski? Probably not. Um,
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron I think can have again, can have a
Speaker 1: very good game tonight. He's my seventh frank tight end
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and you know the Colts are banged
Speaker 1: up with t Y Hilton, So I think Eric Ebron's
Speaker 1: in play for another night's game here. But it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's the Gronk franking. Like if you if you
Speaker 1: own him, like you're not going to start any of
Speaker 1: these guys over him. No, as long as he plays
Speaker 1: obviously not good Jordan read game. You mentioned Chris Thompson,
Speaker 1: why could be good for him? We really like Jordan
Speaker 1: Read against New Orleans. I think it makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. Ron Tonight, no, Jack Doyle, George Kid getting
Speaker 1: back in the circles, trust inside the top ten um
Speaker 1: the President. Van's McDonald only at number ten in the
Speaker 1: great matchup against Atlanta. Yeah, it's just that his targets
Speaker 1: have been consistently five, Like that's the past three weeks,
Speaker 1: every single week, So you know you're gonna get out
Speaker 1: of Vans McDonald that's actually gonna get five targets, especially
Speaker 1: fact Vandaloria. So there you go. We're on. But that's
Speaker 1: the thing is, like, how much more can you like
Speaker 1: him than that being the ten rank tight end? If
Speaker 1: he's only going to get five targets. The way to
Speaker 1: attack Atlanta obviously is passing the ball to the running
Speaker 1: back a lot. So I think we see a lot
Speaker 1: of James Connor receptions in this game, and he's been
Speaker 1: absolutely torched by wide receivers the past few weeks. Um
Speaker 1: they're lying the most fantasy points to wide receivers over
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. So I think we get a
Speaker 1: lot of Antonio Brown. I think we get a lot
Speaker 1: of juju and Vans McDonald's just gonna get his five targets.
Speaker 1: What he does with those, hopefully a few of them
Speaker 1: are inside the red zone. He can score a touchdown.
Speaker 1: That's what would make him a tight end one this week.
Speaker 1: So I have n't at tenth and I can't see
Speaker 1: him moving, moving him ahead of any of Kyle Rudolph,
Speaker 1: George Kittle or Eric Ebron, just because it seems like
Speaker 1: those guys there, those players respective roles in their offense
Speaker 1: is more cemented than vansmingdownd makes sense, makes sense eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six eight seven. Now let's
Speaker 1: do you get a call before the sign off YouTube?
Speaker 1: Frankie and that his friend in l A. It's off
Speaker 1: freend Hey, greeting guys, how's it going? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Many question my for neet owner and uh I got
Speaker 1: off from McCaffrey, but in the package steal so he
Speaker 1: wants for net Edelman for McCaffrey. You I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: down my lineup or is that just keep? What would
Speaker 1: what would your wide receivers be if you trade away
Speaker 1: Edelman feeling Cooper Crowder and then you want to keep Edelman.
Speaker 1: But I think you have to make this. I think
Speaker 1: you have to make the deal. Whore your running back
Speaker 1: now without Leonard Fournette, it would be uh hunt Brita
Speaker 1: and carry on. Yeah, I do it. Do it in PPR.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is a borderline top five running back. So
Speaker 1: you can just wash your hands and Leonard four Nette here.
Speaker 1: I know it kind of sucks because I've waited four
Speaker 1: weeks to get Julian Edelman back, but I think you
Speaker 1: have to make this trade. All right, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That was meaning that towards that side, So that definitely
Speaker 1: I hit the button right now, do it good? Look
Speaker 1: man eight four four eight four three eight four four
Speaker 1: eight four three c S seven. Now we'll sign off
Speaker 1: YouTube right now. The Fantasy Football Frenzy comes your way next,
Speaker 1: but we go top of the hour, no doubt about it.

Speaker 1: Give us five stars, leave a comment. I read them
Speaker 1: all and we appreciate it very very much. Five minutes ago,
Speaker 1: Frank Thursday, I Football Tonight, Colton Pats ten point favorite
Speaker 1: are the past. It seems too large and maybe that's
Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, ten and a half point favorites. It's
Speaker 1: you know, you hear this from a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: I've been listening more so to Gabe Shows. He has
Speaker 1: the professional betters on obviously great great work from him
Speaker 1: and and all of his guests, and they it's something
Speaker 1: that they consistently say is it's hard to lay double
Speaker 1: digit points in the National Football League. And that's how
Speaker 1: I feel right like, the Patriots can easily be up
Speaker 1: in this game, but you just always have to fear
Speaker 1: for that that backdoor cover, scoring a field goal late,
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown late to make this game one, to
Speaker 1: make this game one, something like that, just to to
Speaker 1: to to make that backdoor cover happen. With the Indianapolis Colts, uh,
Speaker 1: the spread has been actually bouncing between ten and a
Speaker 1: half and ten, so you're you're seeing money come in
Speaker 1: on the on the Colts and then it goes down
Speaker 1: tan and people are like, Okay, let's get it back
Speaker 1: up and it's going to the Patriots side. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: don't want to touch a spread, Greggy if I if
Speaker 1: I had to choose something tonight, I would take the
Speaker 1: under at four and a half points, which I know.
Speaker 1: We've seen some big scoring games on Thursday Night football,
Speaker 1: especially the past couple of weeks. But I could just
Speaker 1: see this being like a trouncing like you know again,
Speaker 1: if it's twenty one like that gets you at forty
Speaker 1: nine like right there, or like seventeen like I could
Speaker 1: see a score like that tonight. So I'm taking the under.
Speaker 1: But to be perfectly honest, I don't like anything about
Speaker 1: betting tonight's game, like the line, the total, I don't
Speaker 1: like it. I'm gonna take the Pats. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Patch to the ten point as the ten point favorite.
Speaker 1: I get it to a lot of points, and again
Speaker 1: it's probably too many points. They always crushed the colds Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they know t Y Hilton tonight like this sets up
Speaker 1: for a big Pats tonight. I I just worry about
Speaker 1: that backdoor cover. If I had to choose one, I
Speaker 1: would take the Pats, but I I don't feel I'm
Speaker 1: not very confident in that pick. I'm also not gonna
Speaker 1: pole under something I don't like going on there alone
Speaker 1: likes going on there. Sheep the public. You hate the public.
Speaker 1: It's amazing for someone who consider himself a man of
Speaker 1: the people, you hate the public, a man of the people,
Speaker 1: and the proms you like. Tonight's by the line, as
Speaker 1: of now, there's no there's no props. There's no there's
Speaker 1: no props on the FANDOL sports book. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: could find problem atando sports book. Another guy's on a
Speaker 1: gardener friends of all about this morning, Corey all over
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers, Chester Rogers to score touchdown. Let's see what
Speaker 1: that is, because anytime Scorey started talking about it, the
Speaker 1: odds went down. They said Chester Rogers plus three thirty.
Speaker 1: Tonight lay a little bit on that, a little little
Speaker 1: twenty piece on Chester Rogers. He's been all over. He
Speaker 1: likes Chester Rogers more than he likes Ery Hebron and
Speaker 1: more than he likes Ryan gre Are two players that
Speaker 1: are favorites to score touch sounds tonight Rogronkowsky really um,
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle Nope, James plus two touchdown James White, James White.
Speaker 1: And that's very reactionary. James White and Sony Michelle. I
Speaker 1: could see, Michelle makes sense. James White is very reactionary.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets in the end zone
Speaker 1: with with Julian Edelman back. If Gronks out, maybe yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe James White could get in. But what's the Rock
Speaker 1: and Edelman play. I don't know if James White getting
Speaker 1: let me ask us what's Chris Hogan line? So you're
Speaker 1: still getting great Chester Rogers value is better than Julie
Speaker 1: then Chris Hogan and Chris Hogan's asked me that the
Speaker 1: bench tonight, shout out to Corey Parks and the Fantasy executive.
Speaker 1: I'd rather put money on trust and Rodgers scored the
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, it's crazy as it's I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Even Ryan Grant. I'd rather put money on Ryan Grant
Speaker 1: at plus two ninety to score rather than I would
Speaker 1: Chris right know you're talking about later. Are you going
Speaker 1: to actually bet on Chesse Rogers tonight? Yeah he is, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm good put his money. I'd like to put put
Speaker 1: put your money in your mouth. You put a couple
Speaker 1: of shackles on it, and you can come in and
Speaker 1: make a rain this weekend. Nobody sent shackles anymore. Nobody
Speaker 1: spend shackles. Maybe maybe you know whatever, maybe you go
Speaker 1: to Juventus. That's that those't the players to play for
Speaker 1: that team. That's who spends shackles. You see that on
Speaker 1: Carton Friends this morning. No, No, I didn't, but I can.
Speaker 1: I'm putting things together in my mind. Kenyan Barnard plus
Speaker 1: seven hundred. Score to night, Greggy, I'm out. The vantazy
