Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson. It is time for the Fantasy football focus.

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Uh get some It is Wednesday, so we'll go over

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: some of the injury from this past week. Yeah, Tampa

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: Bay has declared Rob Gronkowski out for their Thursday night

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: game against the Eagles. A huge surprise. No, I think

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: it's broken ribs right. He may be out for a

21
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: little bit yeah, yeah, maybe when they come back. There's

22
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: a potential for him to return. And Dave Stretcher relaxed

23
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. They get little extra time off there.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: How about this one though, Chris Carson with the neck

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: injury did not practice on Wednesday. Plans to on Thursday.

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: But you never know what it's You never know. I

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: mean he's consistently injured. Um, I'd give that one at

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: this point. If he plays against Steelers, I mean he hasn't.

29
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: He didn't play last week. I wouldn't be super excited

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: about starting him if he is not, even because the

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: matchup just neck that you're questionable with. I mean, you're

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna be super effective or finished the game, especially with

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: his running style. I mean he is, he needs to initiate.

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: He's not a guy. Yeah, he doesn't avoid content. And

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Collins was fine. Yeah. Uh. Sammy Watkins with the hamstring

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday. Not his first injuries, the

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: first time he's crepped up on the injury report. If

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: you that was the over under one, that was probably

39
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: about two weeks. I think Bateman returns this week. Yeah,

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, Watkins been pretty good player for them though. Yeah,

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what I mean that that's that game.

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: The Chargers are at Baltimore. Baltimore played late in the

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Monday night overtime, the overtime game. Um, I mean they

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: had some injuries that game to Cleveland. The Guard has

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: gone like the Chargers in that game. Yeah, we were

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: talking about before, and I haven't really studied the slate yet,

47
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: but the more I thought about as you talked through it, like, yeah,

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Herbert has success. Eckler, Williams Alan,

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're almost every week anyway. I got weapons

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: all over to place. I think their defense, you know,

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: people talked about the Kansas City, Well, you know the

52
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City they went in Baltimore. Kansas City went into

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Baltimore beat him. Chargers defense is better than that,

54
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: and the Chargers offense and Sea defense there's so much

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: worse than all the other one and the Chargers defense

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Chargers offense might be is scary on the level. Yeah

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: all right, and it's in the same neighborhood. Yeah, marsh

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: little Mars playing well, but it's all on him. Though.

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not bashing the Ravens. I don't think either one

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: of us are, but they are so I mean, they

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: have three games that truly were coined flips and they

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: got the bet. They got heads every time, and that's

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: great and there's an art to that something at some point.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: But they're not playing like a jugger, not five and

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: one type of team, you know, No, I agree with you.

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones was back at practice today. How about that?

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: All right? Come back from and he actually practiced on

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. I don't know if that's happened though, You're

69
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: even when he wasn't feeling great sitting out for a while.

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: We talked about this isn't really a fantasy nugget. But

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this. You know how much we've talked

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: about the Colts having that awful first five games, Well

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the Tennessee is about to deal with that. Their next

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: five are awful too, and they played nobody to this point.

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I thought the Colts were dead after that loss

76
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: to the Ravens, but they could go for and one

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: in this stretch and Tennessee go one and four, and

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, it depends on whether the one because they

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: play each other. If Tennessee sweeps them, then that's difficult. Yeah,

80
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: but it's interesting dynamic in that division. There's still only

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: one team coming out of that division. I would sure

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I just can't imagine. Yeah, uh,

83
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Matt Rule said that Christian McCaffrey is fifty fifty to

84
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: play game time decision, like, probably you listen to him

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: as doubtful last week. Yeah, but he did some things.

86
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: You're putting the nugget out there for all these fantasy

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: owners have been sitting on this like there were guys

88
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: out there who trade offers for I'm just talking about

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: it from from this perspective here of the segment. They

90
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: were probably fantasy owners out there who were getting trade

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: offers for Christian McCaffrey. We're making trade offers for Christian McCaffrey,

92
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: and the McCaffrey owners going, well, he's doubtful this week.

93
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably he's coming back to play this week.

94
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get rid of it. Well you should have, yeah,

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think, well, this isn't super in depth,

96
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: but they're way better with them. I mean it's you know,

97
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Hubbard's a fine player. But back to our first segment,

98
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: running backs do matter, and especially the really good ones,

99
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: the really good ones that that affect the passing game

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: like he does. I mean, if he's in there, I

101
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: don't think Donald's throwing picks left and right. People aren't

102
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: rushing the pass her with the same vigor, you know.

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a massive trickle down effect. Who

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: knows we played or not? Speaking of which, Dalvin Cook

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: returned to practice on Wednesday. See that's great news. But

106
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive they have a buy next week. That

107
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: and as well as Madison's playing again. There's a there's

108
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: a jump from Madison to Cook. Of course not as

109
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: drastic in my opinion, but I was reading today. If

110
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Cook doesn't play, who get like thirty two days off?

111
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Like that might be great for him, But of course

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: if you own him you wanted to play, Yeah, you

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: had Madison, you wouldn't be so bad. Yeah, maybe they

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe a split carries with the two this week. I

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: don't get hope, not from fantasy. Yeah, if that doesn't

116
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: do anybody any good, But that's not really how they

117
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: operate though. The bikes is we've got three good players.

118
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna touch the ball ninety percent a time. They

119
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: don't give it to the other dudes, and they need

120
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: to win. So I don't know if they can afford that,

121
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: hey delve and take this week off as well, and

122
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: you gotta buy next week right show out then Yeah,

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: so I think even that one comes back. I'm not

124
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a huge handcuffed guy in general, but and that's in

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: that instance, it's sure nice insurance if you had Madison

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: an Cook Joe Burrow with the throat issue practice fully today. Yeah.

127
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: I think Higgins is back as well. I think Mixon's

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna play. He didn't really, they didn't use him much

129
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: last week. He's one they should have sat out, right. Yeah,

130
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: so interesting, that's good news for them. Uh. Chubb and

131
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Hunt Chubb with a calf, Hunt with a wrist in

132
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: a knee both did not practice on Wednesday, both of them. All.

133
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine that's a Wednesday precautionarything because I got

134
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: something though. Yeah, I didn't hear of anything coming up.

135
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: He was like crazy. I mean, they run the ball

136
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: so much, just the volume of it all. But I

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: mean I'm just sitting there thinking, I don't know neither

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: one of them. But they play the Cardinals this week,

139
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the two top teams in the division or have a

140
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: steep Cardinal's defense is no joke either. Yeah, Yeah, it's

141
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: funny you said this before, Like boy, everyone thought the

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Steelers getting Seattle was the short end of the stick.

143
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: It's like I'd rather Seattle in Arizona. That's sure right now,

144
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: especially considering a quarterback situation. Um, of course, I mean

145
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: that this has been said for a hundred years with Cleveland.

146
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: If Hunt or Chubb doesn't go, the other one might

147
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: be second behind Derrick Henry on my list to start

148
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: unless they're not right all right, And like I said

149
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: with with Chubb, it's a calf issue. Those can be

150
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: troublesome during the game and right, and the Hunters a

151
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: risk in a knee like he's got two things wrong

152
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: and he's the receiver to him. Yeah, so that's that's interesting.

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: We'll see where that goes. Uh. Justin Jefferson with an

154
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: ankle injury was Wednesday. I would imagine that's precautionary too.

155
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: I didn't hear of anything that wouldn't look too much

156
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: into that, but it's not worthy. Yeah, we'll see. If

157
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching, keep an eye on if he's

158
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: limited or you know whatever. Tomorrow that's the big day.

159
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, with the hip injury, was limited at Wednesday's practice.

160
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: They got a lot of issues when Hawkinson's fighting through something.

161
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: They lost their star center they didn't have they need

162
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: to buy. Yeah, and they're still playing hard. But who

163
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds was limited on Wednesday with the shoulder issue.

164
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: I think he's a highly useful fantasy player that hasn't

165
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: quite broke out yet. But I wish I owned him. Yeah. Um,

166
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders designated Marcus Mariota with the quad injury to

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: return from injury reserve. Looked like early and they had

168
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: a plan for him. He got hurt on it. He

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: got hurt on a kind of a trickish not a

170
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: trick play. But they brought him into like a Taysom

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Hill in the first first season, everybody healthy first week

172
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: of the year. Um, he's not exactly the pillar of

173
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: health either. But and I know Gruden's not there. But

174
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Gruden and Mayock loved him supposedly coming out of college.

175
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: They gave him a pretty substantial buck. I wonder if

176
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: somebody would make an offer a trade deadline for him

177
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: or I just think there's some meat on that bone.

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me this week on my my questions, Yeah,

179
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: they you know, would you would you buy Marcus Mariota

180
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: next year is the Steelers quarterback and like love the

181
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: skill set. Yeah, I can't buy on the player anymore.

182
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: He just gets hurt every opportunity that he gets. See

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: with a question like that, and this goes kind of

184
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: goes back to our Jimmy conversation. I don't want to

185
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: get you all started up. Yeah, I'll buy Jimmy or

186
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Marcus with the first round pick and the first round

187
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: pick not Oh that's my answers. Everything is solved, right, No, No,

188
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean he could be part of the equation while

189
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, one of the youngsters sits there and learns

190
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: or blows right past him, but not sign of Marcus

191
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: Marioda and say, no, a quarterback situations ship solved. We

192
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: were set for the next eighteen years. Yeah. No, but

193
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: I like Marioda. I mean I'm not he could be

194
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: the answer somewhere. Yeah, you know, but even I'm not

195
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: betting on him with every chip I have. No, No,

196
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the injury history is troublesome. I mean you can probably

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: get him for a fourth round pick right now. Yeah,

198
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Sterling Shepherd returned to practice in a

199
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: limited basis on Wednesday. What does that do for Darius Tony?

200
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: Glad you brought that up, because I was watching a

201
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: lot more Tony, pay more attention to Tony in the

202
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours. I thought he was just going

203
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: to be a slot. He was just as good outside too.

204
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's better than I thought he would be.

205
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: So it doesn't look like Golliday is gonna play, So

206
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Tony will be the Golliday. Tony's like he's he can

207
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: fill in any of the spots on the receiver world

208
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and Shepherd could play outside too. So I'm putting a

209
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: couple of bucks on the some fab money down to

210
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: try to grab Tony. I thought he was super impressive.

211
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette limited and Wednesday's practice for the Dolphins. He's

212
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: got a hamstring, but is practice? Who is practicing? I

213
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know if two is ready to come back though.

214
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Just they just started the clock ticking on him this

215
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: week today. I think, yeah, so that's we'll see. That

216
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: offense is so bad it doesn't matter to me. I mean,

217
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I guess Gasecki's useful waddles, useful kick is useful if

218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: it's Brisset, if it's to uh, I don't want Gissecki.

219
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: In my line, the one thing they did do is

220
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Parker was out and Fuller, of course was out, so

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: they ran a lot more double tight end sets than

222
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: they usually do, with Kasecki just being a big slot.

223
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, call him a tight end if you want.

224
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: But as bad as the tight end market is now, though,

225
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: I think Kisseck is a starter. He's there's six with it.

226
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: Everybody starts again. If if for set's okay, Aline starting

227
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Gisecki right, maybe Gasking too, if they're gonna throw a

228
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: million passes again. We're watching on TV here a bunch

229
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: of Raiders press conferences. I guess they're live right now

230
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: on NFL Network or whatever. They're being peppered with questions

231
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: about the coach who's no longer there, and what this

232
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: is a distraction. They got a game this week and

233
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a massive distraction. So Wednesday and they're they're

234
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: answering all these questions about, you know, what's what's going

235
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: on here? What's you know? Yeah, I'm not I don't

236
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: know if maybe Darren Waller out started Darren Waller. I

237
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to start any I feel

238
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: like everything has come off the rails, you know what

239
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, with all respect the Richard Saccia, who I

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: guess is well respected and he's been doing this a

241
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: long time. He's a sixty one year old special teams

242
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: coach that, if it wasn't for this strange turn of events,

243
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: would probably never be a head coach or anything more

244
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: than a sixty two year old, you know, special teams coach.

245
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of distractions here and we're not

246
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: watching every second of this, but it's on right in

247
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: front of me. He came up to the podium and

248
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: looked like he had never seen a podium before. He

249
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: like was like fuddling around, like we need somebody to

250
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: be Yeah, and basically the franchise called time ups at

251
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: the right time, right exactly decision when they go for

252
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: it on fourth down, keep cards progress coming along, and

253
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, I just think things are gonna go drastically

254
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: wrong for this team. Yeah. I don't know, uh, other

255
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: than other than Waller, who do you want to start

256
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: out of that lineup this week? That's the thing is

257
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: like Jacobs was starting to kind of look appealing because

258
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: they were actually throwing him the football for the first

259
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: time in his life. I mean, I guess he's a

260
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: starter because there's probably not twenty five better running backs.

261
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: But I don't have high hopes for wins or I

262
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: bet the defense gets worse. And even the Raiders had

263
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: an impressive win against the Steelers, but there are two

264
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: other wins were in overtime, you know, like and even

265
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: under Gruden, it always seems like they start the season

266
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: hot and then right about now it's like they just

267
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: go to wheels, right, I meane, are really going to

268
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: come in there just spinning away? Yeah? Um. Melvin Gordon

269
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: with a lower leg injury did not practice on Wednesday.

270
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: He had the same thing last week and played. Um.

271
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't own either one of them, but and I

272
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: don't want any harm to Gordon, but I hope he

273
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: doesn't play because I think Williams is So they play

274
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders this week, Oh man, well we might be

275
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: playing putting some DFS money on Javante and I think

276
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: he's ready to grab that job no matter what. And

277
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: if they can use this kind of he's a little

278
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: banged up excuse or real real reason because Williams a

279
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: really could player. Yeah, absolutely, Um, it's going through here.

280
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray with the shoulder was in it was limited

281
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: in Wednesday's practice. I'm not concerned about that. But his

282
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: right throwing shoulder, I think he's a shoulder last year

283
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: when everything went totally wrong, and that I'm just worn't runnering.

284
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: If it's the same thing, is it recurring, you know whatever.

285
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: He's little when he takes a lot of hits. Yeah,

286
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: but he's good. Does this one bother you, Antoine? This

287
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: isn't it's a defensive thing. But Antoine Winfield with a

288
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: concussion will not play in Week six against the Eagles.

289
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: They don't really I don't know what to think of

290
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense, to be honest with you. I mean,

291
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: they have some pieces. I don't think they never hand

292
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: the ball to running back for some reason. Well, this

293
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: will be a week not to do and they're going

294
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,359
Speaker 1: to Tampa and Tampa's secondaries and shambles right now, including

295
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: this one. Hurts as a starter no matter what. I

296
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: don't know, hurts running the ball a lot this week though, No,

297
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: but he does something. They do it anyway. I mean,

298
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: you got I'm not sure if David's gonna play back.

299
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Dave is gonna play so but you

300
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: still got Devin Waite out there running around and playing

301
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: with ill intent. Yeah, not having Winfield out there. Okay,

302
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I didn't realize this about Jalen Hurtson. Didn't

303
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: totally shock me. But he's on the top ten fantasy

304
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: quarterback every week this week, every week this year, and

305
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: often in the top five. I mean he's super consistent.

306
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: It's because of the running, of course, but I mean

307
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: DeVante Spiss a good layer, and I think things are

308
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of trending the right direction there potentially. Miles Sanders

309
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: is frustrating. Yeah. Uh. Speaking of frustrating, David and Joku

310
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: miss practice on Wednesday. He's got a knee issue. He's

311
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: coming off the best game of his life seven for one,

312
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: nine a touchdown on seven targets and one of those

313
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: like a seventy five yard He looked like he was

314
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: targeted on the hail Mary at the end of the

315
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: game that and got knocked down. I know, all the

316
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: Browns faces, are you going to hell? No? They tripped

317
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: over each other. Yeah, but it looked like you're allowed

318
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: to be away with things and hail Mary's too, they

319
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: are a little different. Looked like he was going to

320
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: be the target on that, and who knows, maybe the

321
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: six five tight end comes down with it. I don't know,

322
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, right with super long arms, we're talking about

323
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: how how weak the tight end. There's a lot of

324
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: those guys right now though, that I lumped together like

325
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: Seals Jones, Arnold Arts if with God or being out,

326
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: you know that nobody's excited about. But they're top twelve

327
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: dudes right now. You know, he's just kind of where

328
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: it is. You know, well, those six it's not much

329
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: different than all those dudes. The Joekus teased me his

330
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: whole life though, and I've always been patient. Takes tight

331
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: ends to get to be twenty seven until they're ready,

332
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: And I thought this might be the year for him.

333
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: But he still only runs a route like on thirty

334
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: or snap. I mean, they have other have two more

335
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: tight ends. I still think O'Dell was a bye. He

336
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: is so down that road with you, man, I just can't.

337
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: I just think he has to be. I mean, Baker

338
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: is not good. They don't throw the ball enough. But boy,

339
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: I think you get O'Dell cheap right now. I can't

340
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: buy anybody in that Brown's passing. They spread around so

341
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: much too. That's the other part of his numbers with

342
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: with Baker are just And I don't know when ma

343
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Andry's do back either, but but he will be back

344
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: sooner or later. Speaking of which, t Y Hilton, with

345
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: a nick injury, returned to practice on Wednesday. It doesn't

346
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: change a thing for me, No, I Pittman is the

347
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: guy to own Paris. Campbell's coming along, He's the future monitor. Yeah,

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: I guess it's better for Wins. Yeah, it should help him,

349
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: but I thought wends looked okay on he's played better

350
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: than people realize this here, and yeah, he's kind of

351
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: calmed down a little bit, and yeah, he hasn't played bad.

352
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: Um Diami Brown returned to practice on Wednesday for the

353
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Washington football team because Curtis Samuel is kind of nicked

354
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: up and they kind of share that same role, right

355
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: and Brown filled in and until Samuel was there. Then

356
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: he got hurt and Samuel came back lasted like a

357
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: half and yeah, so yeah, I guess it's something. Yeah,

358
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm running out to pick him up,

359
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: but sometimes somebody has to take some pressure off it.

360
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, he is heavily targeted, can't be the only

361
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: game in town this past week. McLaurin got the good

362
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: version of Marshawn Lattimore. Sometimes Lattimore gets picked on and

363
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: gets beat up, but he was the winner in that

364
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: battle and they still threw to Clorinda time Like that's

365
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: his floor. In my opinion, he's still end up a

366
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: seven point He's gonna get peppered with uh Antonio Gibson

367
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: with that shin injury was sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Hasn't

368
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: sled him down, Thore hasn't hasn't bothered him. The interesting

369
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: thing this week with them they play the Chiefs, he

370
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: should be able to have success running the football, just

371
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: a traditional running back hand hm the football guy. Yeah,

372
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: but mckissic is still gonna like mckissic is gonna be

373
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: is gonna hurt him in the past. I heard an

374
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: interesting stat though today mckissic has been more valuable in

375
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: their two wins than he has in their two three losses.

376
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: You would think the opposite. You would think, like, okay,

377
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: there behind its mckissic time. He's actually been better. He's

378
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: actually a double digit fantasy points in the winds and

379
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: hasn't reached double digits in the losses gives them a

380
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: little frustrating. Yeah, I own them. You own them. I've

381
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: considered shopping him a little bit. Tried. Yeah, I offered,

382
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: and like them in my one league, I made a

383
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: ridiculous offer and I've heard nothing back. I offered Gibson

384
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: and DK metcalf for Christian McCaffrey. It's pretty substantial off.

385
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: That's a really substantial offer, and I've heard nothing back.

386
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just thinking it over and over and can't

387
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: sleep thinking of it over. Somebody made me that offer.

388
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm jumping all over. I mean, I jump on that.

389
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: I when after I hit send, I thought maybe I

390
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: should take that one back. Like I didn't want to

391
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: make that offer. Yeah, that's a that's a godfather deal.

392
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: But I still think Gibson's best days or to come.

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't score for you right now, it's

394
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: not a great day so far. Yeah, he's not caught

395
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: the ball like I thought he would. I think he

396
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: has two targets the last two weeks. He needs to

397
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver in college. What are you doing?

398
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: Mckissic's good in protection and a better receiver. Uh t

399
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: J Hawkins and miss practice on Wednesday. He's playing through that.

400
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: I wish he would their bye week would either get

401
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: here or you know, something's gonna happen there they need

402
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: another receiver, something anything. Yeah, he's fighting through an injury,

403
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: toughing it out. I mean, you keep starting him and

404
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: hope he and I'm sure people were rolling coverage his

405
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: way in addition to that. So he's had two great weeks,

406
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: two bad weeks. You know, Tyreek Hill with the quad

407
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: injury did not practice on Wednesday. Who'd you say they

408
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: have a they have some awesome matchup they play Washington.

409
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: That's they just let people run free in the back end. Well,

410
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: I wonder if you know, if if they try to

411
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: play that like everybody else has and and kind of

412
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: do the too high, we're gonna drop everybody deep and

413
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: our four guys were gonna let them rush because they can.

414
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: They have the ability to play that way. If their

415
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: guys can actually get home, they have every defense will

416
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: play that way. Jeeves, I think that's it's the only

417
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: way you have a chance. We have a chance. And

418
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: if I'm Washington, don't allow the big play. We've allowed

419
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: so many busts and things like that. That's the only

420
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: thing we can take away and let them nickel one

421
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: dime and they still I saw they don't move the ball.

422
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: It gets Washington easily. But that's something to keep an

423
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: eye almost what Tyreek goes with that mentioned to Darius Tony.

424
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: He participated in practice on Wednesday, as did Darius Slayton

425
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: is back and Shepherd right and Shepherd no Golliday though,

426
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: So they're getting Jones or Barkley. Yeah, Barkley is not

427
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: gonna play for several weeks, right for a while. It's

428
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: just that offense is just revolving doors. Who's played and

429
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: and whoever plays seems to do okay, right. Uh, de

430
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: Vante Parker with a hamstring miss practice on Wednesday. He's

431
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: really not rosterable at this point. No, they're passing games

432
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: so bad. Yeah, and there's a lot of mouse. Speaking

433
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: of Daniel Jones, Um Joe Judge says he's on track

434
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: with everything good. He's in concussion protocol in practice today.

435
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: We saw with with with what happened with Teddy Bridgewater

436
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: last week. He didn't say you need at least a

437
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: limited participation on Thursday and didn't see what happens on

438
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: Friday before you can. Yeah, he's very fantasy relevant. I mean,

439
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a great player, but I think

440
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: he's having a good year. And they got a lot

441
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of weapons and he runs well. They run him a

442
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: lot though, coming off a concussion, And I was gonna ask, like,

443
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: you probably don't want him doing that. You're right, so, folks,

444
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if he, like Dale said, if he doesn't

445
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: participate tomorrow, the door shot, I mean, he's not gonna play.

446
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: You probably have a better option or another option anyway,

447
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: But weeks coming here. Yeah, yeah, I mean it certainly

448
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: affects Tony and Shepard and those guys. I'd rather he

449
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: was quarterback in than Glennon. Yeah. Absolutely, the wheels can

450
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: fall off real quick with that. Uh, not that I'm

451
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: a doctor, but his concussion looked like a concussion, Like

452
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like he was in seeing Lalo

453
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: and yeah. Uh, this one affects the Indianapolis defense. And

454
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: they play Houston this week. This is the beginning of

455
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: the easy stretch. Yeah, Xavier Rose and Anderson Sendejo. Now

456
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Anderson Sendejo is not a good football, but he was

457
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: starting for them. Yeah, it's two secondary guys. Their their

458
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: corners were a disaster like the game. I mean, are

459
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: you trying to figure out ways to get Houston receivers

460
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: in the lotos? Well, we saw more Chris more come

461
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: by that, you know, you know, buying Chris they got

462
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: they have to throw the football on. It can't all

463
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: be the question because it's it's something plays a short

464
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: easy answers to dismiss it. But you see it with

465
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Hawkinson in Detroit. If you've only got one guy that

466
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: you've got to stop, it's too easy. It's too easy.

467
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: You really need four, let alone two would be nice.

468
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: It's still Davis Mills. I know he played well, but

469
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: that's well I think you know who's he practicing with

470
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: all the time when he was the number two. Yeah,

471
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: here's more right, right? I mean, I know the head

472
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: coach loves him and brought him from Baltimore and all

473
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: those things, but to make him fantasy relevant is h

474
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna taking that leap. Yeah, we'll see he's been active.

475
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: They signed him to the active roster. Speaking to Houston,

476
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: has any chance Miller is active this week for the Steelers?

477
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: Not that I'm putting my life happening yet. Yeah, I

478
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: don't see that happening in Um. That's pretty much it

479
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: for the injury stuff. The waiver wires uh typically went

480
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: through this weekend. There's some interesting ones though, Yeah, some

481
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: of these backs and Herbert interests me. Um. I hope

482
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: no one's listening. But I put in a small bid

483
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: for Marlon Mack hoping he gets at him. Yeah, I

484
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: picked him up. I was kind of surprised that nobody

485
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: else put in for him. There's a couple owners that

486
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: are semi savvy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, and he's

487
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: he's worth nothing as a cult, but I'm hoping he's

488
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: a chief. But if I don't get him, I'm not

489
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna cry about it, you know what I mean. He

490
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: could be a nice addition. He may be the guy

491
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: if you do get him, trade him, you know, the chief,

492
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: trade for him like that. Yeah, that's that's usually what

493
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I do. UM back, they really could. I just don't

494
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: know that they use the back, if you know what

495
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean. Andy Reids just got that track record of

496
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: well we'll hand the ball four times here? Was I

497
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: mean a sneaky one too. Is I'm much sure McKinnon's

498
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: worth a lot less than Darryl Williams. I don't like either,

499
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: but I mean someone's gonna play running back for them.

500
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: He's more of the receiver. Yeah, I agree, Um yeah,

501
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: I can't get on the Davante Booker. If you need

502
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: a starter this week, I think you do it. If

503
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: you're just stashing him, I don't think you do. He's

504
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: a good every touch, that's all well and good. I

505
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: don't think they're line stinks and he has anything. There's

506
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: nothing special about him. Oh no, not at all. He

507
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: catches the ball a little. I mean I put in

508
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: a small bid for him, But if I get him,

509
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sit him and play defense and nobody

510
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: else gets him. That's all you're doing. That's all you're

511
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: really doing, right, I mean, if you're a desperate team

512
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of them out there, he's probably

513
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: a top twenty five back this week. I guess, I guess,

514
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: you know. Like the one league I'm in, I'm playing,

515
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm playing cart Chris Carter this week, he has sake

516
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: Kuon Barkley and Russell Wilson. Ouch he had he's gonna

517
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: put in for Yeah, for Booker, I'm sure. I'm sure

518
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: he made a move for one of those guys. Anyways,

519
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really and I really don't care.

520
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: It's all you're that because I don't care. You have

521
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: had him, had take whoever you want. I don't want

522
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: any of those guys. A ten to twelve point guy. Yeah,

523
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, start him again. Me I'm still gonna whoop

524
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: you and don't enough. I'm like a sixty point favorite

525
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: on it before he does any of that stuff. So yeah,

526
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's interesting. Uh, some interesting matchups this week,

527
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: that Brown's Cardinals matchup. But yeah, that really have to

528
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: dig into the Chandler Jones doesn't look like he's gonna play.

529
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: It looks like Hudson is out well at centers. That's

530
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: a big deal. The Browns are banged up though. Two

531
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: A yeah, um, I think they were another team that

532
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: their secondary get decimated in Cleveland. Yeah did it? They were.

533
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: They were missing a bunch of guys by the end

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: of that game. Yeah. Um yeah, they couldn't stop anything.

535
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: And so they ain't clowning in that game either. Ye

536
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: first time clown he's been heard as a Brown probably

537
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: not the lot, probably not the least. He's been good

538
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: for them, But I mean, and then that Ravens that

539
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Ravens Chargers matchup is Yeah, I like it. MR for

540
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: DFS this week. His numbers are insane. I mean he's

541
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: like the fifth leading rush sure and receiver I think.

542
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean in the league. His his passing yards are

543
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: super high and his rushing yards are definitely top ten.

544
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean he accounted for like five hundred four of

545
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: the Baltimore's thirty yards away. He's the whole show. Yeah,

546
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: they got nothing else. They don't hand the ball to

547
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: running backs anymore because they are just bunching stink. That's

548
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 1: why the chef to report last week that people were

549
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: asking about the Ravens. Nobody wants those guys. The Ravens

550
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: don't even want those guys. Actually, he's eighth in the

551
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: league and rushing yards right now, and I think he's

552
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: like top five in passing. I mean it's through for

553
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: over four. Don't quote me on this because I heard

554
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: it and didn't pay a ton of attention. I think

555
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: he's on pace to have the most Fantasy points ever. Yeah,

556
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: if he survives, If he survives and you know, keeps

557
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: this up at this pace, which won't happen, but it's

558
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. It is pretty crazy. But Derrick Henry the

559
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: other on a remarkable There's a couple of guys here

560
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 1: that are well, they're on a ridiculous pace right now.

561
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: If they can, if they can keep it up up

562
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: and things will change. Would would you try to trade

563
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: them now? Are you gonna write it? Henry or Lamar? Yeah?

564
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: I need a lot. I mean I need one of

565
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: those Gibson McCaffrey there, give Gibson, DK Metcalf. Might you

566
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: might get a lot for those guys if I can

567
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: get two huge starters. I'm listening, Yeah, you know what

568
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, if I get r and I don't

569
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: know Deante, I probably need a quarterback back. I'm thinking

570
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: for Henry for Henry, Yeah, I mean something like that.

571
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: I would think about that, Nause and Metcalf, something like that.

572
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, just I mean the reason I could

573
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: make that offer, you know offer Metcalf when that deal was.

574
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, I've got Mike Williams and Deebo Samuel And

575
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: that's what's so hard by trading, because everybody has a few, yeah,

576
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, receivers that aren't borth of time. Yeah, it

577
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: makes it difficult, no doubt about that. But yeah, that's

578
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna do it for our show today. So for my
