1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Yea, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, presented by DraftKings. It's made your

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Man MG Marcus Grant. Still masking and socially distancing when

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: and where necessary, and an interesting Week five Sunday. A

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of surprising results on the field, a major injury

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: that is going to shake up both the NFL and

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy football world as well, so we'll talk about

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: that with Jimmy Checks. We'll talk about some waiver wire

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: pickups that you might be needing to make for the week.

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Also looking at some guys who have not been performing

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: lately and whether or not it's time to either put

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: them on the bench or maybe move them even to

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. But before we get into any of that,

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: a big note coming up for this past week. We

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: thought there was going to be a Broncos Patriots game

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: played this week. In fact, that was originally supposed to

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: be played today on Monday, but that game has been

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: re scheduled two weeks six, so we played on Sunday

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: as part of the Week six slate, a one pm

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Eastern kickoff. That game you can see on CBS al Right,

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Before we get into the meat of the show, stock

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 1: to our favorite police for seenor Edward L. Murphy, Esquire

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: and Murphy. I know it was a rough weekend. The

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Yankees lost, the Giants lost, but I know, but you're

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame guy, and at least Chase Claypool had

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: a big day, so that that was something I guess

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: to look forward to, right Marcus, I I do appreciate

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: you bring up the one bright spot of Notre Dame football,

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: who beat uh Florida State and uh and then yeah,

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, who I've I've always loved, and Notre Dames

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: had a good stable receivers throughout the years that I've

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: been watching, and Claypool just a freak of nature, tight

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: end building, a like a receiver, athleticism, body, it's I mean,

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: it's just he's insane. Four touchdowns. Um, the Irish went

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which is the bright spot. And I'm trying

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: to push the disgustingness of the Yankees and the Giants

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: is out of my brain. I'm tired of being the

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: disgruntled fans, so I gotta find the silver lining wherever

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: you can. I will say this about Chase Claypool. I

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: didn't quite know how he would fit because you mentioned

41
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: he was sort of a tight end wide receiver hybrid,

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't know how the Steelers would use him.

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what I mean. Obviously the huge

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but they seem to have have figured out how

45
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: to use him. I'm I'm impressed with what I've seen

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: so far. Right. Yeah, I thought, at least his rookie

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: year with big manage, just a guy that you're going

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to line up about why you're gonna throw like that

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: goal line fade to let him go up and get

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: it because he could do that. Um. And they seem

51
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: to just really develop him to be a full complete

52
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: receiver kind of like what he was with the Irish.

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great deep ball threat. He could

54
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: block while he's a big guy. Um, so he's really

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: really strong to help the rung game out. I mean,

56
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: he could do it all. And like this receiver class

57
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: is looking to be one of the best all time,

58
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and Claypool was an underrated guy coming into this draft

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: and now he's making a huge name for himself. Yeah,

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: we we were expecting big things out of this group,

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: and it took a few weeks, but yeah, we were

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: a month into the season and everything looks good with

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: this rookie class. So hopefully things continue to progress because

64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: that that's been really exciting to see. All right, let's

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: turn our attention now to Jimmy Cha, who joins us

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: as always on a Monday, and I guess the first

67
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: thing are how are you feeling after the chiefs surprising

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: loss against the Raiders? Have you have you been able

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: to sort of get some Catharsis in the last twenty

70
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: four hours. I'm not available for comment at this time.

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: It was so funny. You tweeted at me yesterday You're like,

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I can't checks, how are you feeling? I was like, Marcus,

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: do I ever tweet at you when you're forty? Niners lose? No,

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: because they lose a lot more often than the Chiefs too,

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: But still it was I mean, it was a really

76
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: surprising game, especially being played at at home in Arrowhead.

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: But you know, you gotta give credit to Derek Carr

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: and that offense. They played really, really well. I think

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: our defense was sleeping the entire game. Um, but if

80
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: you know anything of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs and

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is they kind of needed that a little

82
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: gut punch, a little gut check, and they look forward

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: to getting back on track and going back to the

84
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and winning yet again in Tampa this year.

85
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: But it was really hard. It was it was very

86
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: emotional for me. I was genuinely concerned about your well being.

87
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to make sure that you

88
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: were doing okay. That's all. That's that's all I wanted. Well,

89
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: let's turn to some fantasy headlines, and we start with

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a really distressing, sad piece of news that came out

91
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: of Sunday. Dak Prescott is out for the season. Suffered

92
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: just a gruesome looking ankle injury late in that game

93
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: against the Giants and had to have surgery on Sunday night. So, uh,

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: he obviously is done for the year. For anybody who

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: had Dak on their fantasy roster, that is a big,

96
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: big blow. He was playing really great football to this

97
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: point in the season, so that's going to be hard

98
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: to replace. For the Cowboys, Andy Dalton steps in and

99
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: he is now going to be the quarterback for the

100
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: remainder of the season. So, Kimmy, if you had Dak

101
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: or if you just have some quarterback issues, how interested

102
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: should you be in trying to add Andy Dalton Mouf Waivers.

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Andy's Dalton's name has completely entered

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: the conversation and need someone who needs to be considered

105
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position now. The reason why Dak Prescott

106
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: had such good fantasy numbers this season was one because

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: he's an incredibly talented core her back and all of

108
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: our thoughts are with him and we hope that he

109
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: has a speedy recovery. On Twitter, he said that this

110
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: is just a minor setback for a major comeback, So

111
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: one prayers up to you, Dak. But the other reason

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: why Dak Prescott was playing so well and had such

113
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: good fantasy performance was because of his defense. The Cowboys

114
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: defense where they've been a business all season. They are

115
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: giving up point after point after point on the defensive

116
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball. That meant that Dak Proscott had

117
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: to play catch up. Now the receiving court is still

118
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: the same for the Dallas Cowboys, and this means good

119
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: things for Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton Dak Prescott not the

120
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: same type of quarterback, but they do have the same

121
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: type of offensive weapons. You have Ceedee lamb Amari Cooper,

122
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. All of those guys are still intact, and

123
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: this defense is going to continue to play the defense

124
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: has played all season. That means that Andy Dalton and

125
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to continue to play from behind,

126
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: and that means he's going to have to continue to

127
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: air out the ball. So yes, I absolutely do think

128
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton's name has entered the conversation and he's

129
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be a hot add on the waiver wire

130
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: this week. We're talking about a quarterback who was a

131
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: starter for a long time in this league and on

132
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: multiple occasions lead the Bengals to the playoffs. And I

133
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: know he's sort of has been maligned because he never

134
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: won a playoff game and it seemed like he would

135
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: sort of fall apart in some of the big moments.

136
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: But when we look around the league and we see

137
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: some of the backup quarterbacks, I mean, I look at

138
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: Washington having to start Kyle Allen, I look at the

139
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They lose Jimmy Garoppolo and Nick Mullins completely

140
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: falls apart. There are worse situations you could find and

141
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: have an Andy Dalton come off your bench and lead

142
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: your offense. And I think the point you make about

143
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboy defense is spot on because they have been

144
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: so bad they have been forcing the Dallas offense to

145
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: throw the football a lot. That does sort of bode

146
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: well for Dalton. He's got a bevy of weapons to

147
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: throw to, which sort of leads me to my next question.

148
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: If you have Marii Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallop, how

149
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: are we feeling now that it's going to be Andy

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Dalton the rest of the way. I mean, it's a

151
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: little bit of a step down, right, like all of

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: us understand that. But still these guys are going to

153
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: continue to have production. Now, if you look at the

154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: numbers from yesterday's game, Ceedee Lamb had eight receptions a

155
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four yards. He led all wide receivers,

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper only had two receptions for twenty three yards,

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: and then Michael Gallup was second. He had four receptions

158
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: for seventy three yards. All of these guys are going

159
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: to continue to get targets, are going to continue to

160
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: catch the ball, regardless of if it was Dak Prescott

161
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: or Andy Dalton. So I do think fantasy managers can be,

162
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit upset that they're not going

163
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: to have the starting corridor back throwing to their receivers.

164
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: But by no means does this mean that these guys

165
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: are no longer fantasy relevant. You're absolutely still fantasy relevant.

166
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. The I guess there's an upside.

167
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if maybe this means some better things for

168
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. And then, like, this is sort of speculating

169
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: because we don't know how things are gonna shake out,

170
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: but he had two really big catches on that last

171
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: drive for the Cowboys, helping them get in a position

172
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: for the game winning few agal. So, yeah, we don't

173
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: know how Andy Dalton is gonna spread the football around.

174
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: But I do think that with those three guys being

175
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: as talented as they are, I don't know that you

176
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: worried too much about him. You're right, yes, Andy Dalton

177
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: is not Dak Prescott. That goes without saying. There's a

178
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: reason he was the backup there in Dallas. But again,

179
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: the drop off between the two is not so severe

180
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: that suddenly you freak out. I mean, I think we

181
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: have questions now about Terry McLaurin in Washington if they

182
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: don't get their quarterback situation straightened out. I don't think

183
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: you have that level of concern with the guys in Dallas.

184
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: So Son, Eddie, we have to stop at the top

185
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: of the show about Chase Claypool and man, did he

186
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: have a day? Seven catches, a hundred and ten yards,

187
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: receiving four total touchdowns, three through the air, one as

188
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: a runner. Forty two point six fantasy points depending on

189
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: your scoring obviously, But yeah, I know some of it

190
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: came because Deante Johnson was hurt, But how do we

191
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: view Chase Claypool going forward? Okay, so maybe this is

192
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: just me and then maybe we needed to have a

193
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: segment called overreaction theater. The second that game ended, I

194
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: went to the waiver wire and put a claim on

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool because I have Juju Smith in one of

196
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: my league's I'm in a sixteen team league, which is

197
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: really you know, it's it's stretched then at a lot

198
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: of the positions and then having Juju, I wanted to

199
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: go and I wanted to pick up the guy who's

200
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: going to play opposite of him. Now, Chase pay Pol

201
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: had seven reception in yesterday's game, but in the last

202
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: three games combined he had six. So it just goes

203
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: to show that the volume is is peaking for him,

204
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: and it was a little bit of a surprise because

205
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: we thought that Deontay Johnson and Juju Smith would come

206
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: back and be fully healthy. Obviously, Deontay Johnson left the

207
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: game early again with an injury, but Mike Tomlin went

208
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: on in the media pressor to say that Claypool was

209
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: just the guy in yesterday's game. But they feel very

210
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: comfortable with their receiving cores and they feel comfortable continuing

211
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: to give him opportunity. So I know, maybe it was

212
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: a little naive to go run and claim him, but

213
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: I think if you put up those numbers and you

214
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: have Big Ben as your quarterback, a guy who air

215
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: out the ball, guy who could you know, throw it

216
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: too in the slot, that means all good things. You know.

217
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about Juju and to see the points that

218
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: he put up while Chase Claypool put up his forties

219
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: something points. That's why I ran, and that's why I

220
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: got concerned. So I hope that this continues, and I

221
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: hope that my waiver wire claim on him gets approved

222
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: and then I can win my Fantasy championship. We're definitely

223
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna talk about juju later in the show because I

224
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: have concerns, so we'll we'll get to that before this

225
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: show is over. And I don't think it was naive

226
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: to go running to the waiver wire to put in

227
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: a claim on Chase Claypool. I suspect there are a

228
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy managers who did that exact same thing

229
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: during that game on Sunday. It's it's enticing. It is

230
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: exciting to see how the Steelers are using him. It's

231
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: certainly exciting to see that Ben Roethlisberger obviously trust him.

232
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: They want to use him as a deep threat, get

233
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: him down the field for some of those pop plays.

234
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he had four touchdowns yesterday, didn't have a

235
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: single end zone target, so a lot of these were

236
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: big catches and runs. That is a little bit concerning,

237
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: just because it seems like it's going to be unsustainable.

238
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I also kind of worry about what his usage is

239
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: going to be when Deonte Johnson is back and healthy.

240
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: Will he get the same number of targets. That seems

241
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe, but the fact is he's

242
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: on the field a lot, and with what he did

243
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you gotta believe his role is going to

244
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: increase in the offense, so it is definitely worth making

245
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: him a high priority waiver claim. Depending on your situation,

246
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: he might not be your number one claim, but he

247
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: should be pretty high on the list. I do think

248
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the more added players

249
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: by the time we get to the start of week six,

250
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: which I guess is Thursday Saturday. And I don't know,

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: that's a whole different that's that's a that's a whole

252
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: different conversation. We need to have a segment which we

253
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: need to have a segment which week is it? Which weekend?

254
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I know we just spent a wheel which week is it?

255
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: That'll be that that's gonna be a whole thing. Which,

256
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know if I'm sure that

257
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of you out there saw on Twitter,

258
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: uh the updated schedule of the schedule changes that the

259
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: league has made in light of having to move some

260
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: games around. I am not going to pretend to be

261
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: able to get into all of those and be able

262
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: to clearly explain them to you. But if you are

263
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: handy with a web search function, I'm sure you can

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: find that information and you can try and make a

265
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: spreadsheet or a graph or just one of those you know,

266
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: homicide charts with the lines and stuff all over it,

267
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, see if see if you can

268
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: kind of figure it out yourself. All right, let's get

269
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: to this because this is gonna hurt my soul for

270
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: a minute. But Rif Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins just blew

271
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: the forty Niners out of the water in Santa Clara

272
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I don't think anybody saw that coming, but

273
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: the Niners down us some starters in their secondary. They

274
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: had to call up any emergency practice squad guy Brian Allen,

275
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: he did not have a great time, was torched by

276
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Preston Williams. The Dolphins rolled offensively. Uh, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Miles Gaston,

277
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: Preston Williams all had twenty plus Fantasy points. Now, I know,

278
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: maybe not all of these guys are week two week starters,

279
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: but gim me, at some point we gotta start believing

280
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: that some of these Dolphins belong in fantasy lineup more consistently. Right, Well,

281
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: I understand that some of these guys are going to

282
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: be a flex pay and flex play, excuse me, and

283
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: they're a week by week starter contingency basis. I think

284
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: all of that is true except for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Now

285
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: we talked earlier, Dak Prescott is out for the season.

286
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: We've seen some other injuries and changes at the quarterback position.

287
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, if we did not make the case for

288
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: him a few weeks back when he went and completely

289
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: crushed Gardner Minshew and he he proved that the mustache

290
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: is better. No, wait, the beard is better than the mustache.

291
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: Now we completely need to believe it. He had three

292
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty passing yards, three passing touchdowns. At one

293
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: point in the game, he had a perfect passer Rady,

294
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: Myles Gasket, and Preston Williams. They also had huge flashes

295
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: opportunity and really really really good performances. Mile Gaston had

296
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: sixteen rushing attempts, fifty seven yards and a touchdown. Preston

297
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: Williams also got in the end zone on four receptions

298
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: and a hundred and six yards. So I absolutely think

299
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: we need to take this offense seriously. One. I think

300
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick needs to be a starting fantasy quarterback week

301
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: by week. If you look at their upcoming schedule, they

302
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of favorable matchups. They go and they

303
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: take on the Broncos. Then they take on the Rams,

304
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: that's probably their toughest one yet. Then they take on

305
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Chargers, the Cardinals, and back to the Jets.

306
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Look at that schedule, look at what those teams have

307
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: been able to do against high powered offenses, and the

308
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: answer is not a lot. I think we have to

309
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: understand that the Miami Dolphins are actually a pretty decent

310
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: football team. It's surprising to a lot of us, but

311
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: they should be considered starters. It's a fun offense to watch,

312
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: and just there's just no way around it. It is

313
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: fun to watch. The guy we that I didn't mention

314
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: in there is is Vante Parker, and he had a

315
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: touchdown as well. Maybe didn't have the twenty point game,

316
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: but he continues to be a big part of their

317
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: passing game as well. It was good, same with same

318
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: with same with Mike Kasecki. Was tight at number four.

319
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I think on the look, it's like we have to

320
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: we have to add a certain point, like get rid

321
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: of all the shade of being like, oh, the Miami

322
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins are not a good team. To start everyone against

323
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and say no, no, no, actually you should

324
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: be starting the Dolphins against everyone else. It's it's wild.

325
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Didn't think we would be here five weeks into the season.

326
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,119
Speaker 1: Certainly didn't think we'd still be talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick

327
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: as a fantasy relevant quarterback. I mean, we were all

328
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: figuring at some point to a tag of Valoa was

329
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna take over and that, and that very well could

330
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: still happen. But right now Fitzpatrick is making a strong

331
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: case to stay in that job. And I would say

332
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: that for our greedy, selfish fantasy perspective, I kind of

333
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: want to see it, just because there's that consistency, and

334
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: we know how he distributes the football. We know that

335
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: it's going to go to Williams and Parker in GASICKI.

336
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: We know that, and you're having to bring a new

337
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in sort of create some uncertainty, which we don't like.

338
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: We don't like uncertainty when it comes to fantasy football.

339
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: So I do think we gotta take these guys seriously.

340
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: They're playing really good football, they're fun to watch, and

341
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: they have some really young, interesting pieces and at some

342
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: point we'll see to and that will be great as well.

343
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: But let's just keep this gravy train going as long

344
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: as we pop simply can't. All right, Today's show is

353
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: We've got three players, we discussed them. Uh, this week

354
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: is a little bit different. We're gonna do what we're

355
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: calling breakout or fake out. Shout out to hyphen Kaloni

356
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: for coming up with that one. Uh, some guys who

357
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: played well in Week five, and we'll try to figure

358
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: out whether or not this is actually real or if

359
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: this was just a really happy accident for one week.

360
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: So let's start with Derek Carr, who I know, I

361
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: know you don't necessarily want to relive this, but had

362
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: a really good game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and

363
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: for me, the biggest thing was that Derek Carr, who

364
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: has been sort of uh be smirched, as Adam Rink

365
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: would say, for not throwing the ball, beat downfield, through

366
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: the ball fielding out a number of occasions. It had

367
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good week. So when you look at what

368
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: he did against the Chiefs, breakout or fake out? You

369
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: know what? And I swear I'm not saying this because

370
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm myas, but I absolutely do think that this is

371
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: a fake out. I think this is probably the ceiling

372
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: game for Derek Carr. I'm by no means be smirching,

373
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: as Adam Rink also likes to say. His performance. He

374
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: had a ninety two quarterback rating. He had three and

375
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: forty seven passing yards, three touchdowns, some really good deep

376
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: balls um and his receiving corps looked amazing. You know,

377
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: there was a really fun run in reception by Henry Ruggs.

378
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: We saw Darren Waller have really good, uh you know

379
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: performance in in some throws his way. But I really

380
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: do think that, no, this is completely a fake out.

381
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: I do think Derek Carr is a fine quarterback. He

382
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: beat my Kansas City Chiefs. It's whatever, it's water under

383
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: the bridge. I'm zero percent salty as you can tell,

384
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: but no, I think this is absolutely his ceiling game.

385
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: And a huge part of why I'm not completely buying

386
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: into this is looking at the schedule ahead for the

387
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. They take on Tom Brady and the

388
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then they take on the Chargers, then

389
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: they go back and play the Chiefs, then they take

390
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: on the Browns, and then the Broncos and then the Falcons. Yes,

391
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: some of those teams not so hot, but a lot

392
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: of those teams are performing really well this season and

393
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: have really strong defenses. So if Derek Carr wants to

394
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: continue to do what he did yesterday, he's gonna need

395
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: to step it up even further. So No, it's a

396
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: fake out, and I'm not buying into this Derek Carr

397
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: hype train. Sorry, I'm over it. I think I'm a

398
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: little closer. I'm not quite as far into the fake

399
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: out realm, I think as you are, But I am

400
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: a little bit closer than I am to break out

401
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: for Derek Carr. I mean, I do think that what

402
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday was was great. I mean it was

403
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch because it was it

404
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: seemed out of character for how he's played in his

405
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: career and how the Raider offense has played. But I

406
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: do think that at best, he's kind of a streaming guy.

407
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: He's a matchup based starter. He's not a guy that

408
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: you're suddenly gonna think, oh, hey, I'm gonna plug him

409
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: in and I'm gonna get, you know, twenty points a

410
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: week from Derek Carr. I just don't think it's going

411
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: to happen. You talk about the schedule, They're all are

412
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: some There are some soft spots in that schedule. There

413
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: are games against the Falcons, are games against the Jets.

414
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: There are opportunities for Derek car to go in there

415
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: and have big weeks. But I still have not sold

416
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: on him as being more than kind of a QB two.

417
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: He's a nice I think, a nice piece to have

418
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: in two quarterback leagues, but I think in most traditional

419
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: or standard leagues, you're not gonna be starting him each

420
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: and every week. Alright, another quarterback though, Teddy Bridgewater, who

421
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: we all sort of predicted him to go out and

422
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: have a nice day against the Atlanta Falcons. He did

423
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: not let us down. Did a lot of that work

424
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game. Um, but Teddy

425
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: be I mean you had a lot of yards, just

426
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of touchdowns. Is this a breakout or

427
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: a fake out? It's a breakout, and I know we

428
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: hiped him up last week and I'm going to continue

429
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: to keep the train rolling. Also, before I move on,

430
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I was just as shady to you,

431
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, because I don't ever want to be shady

432
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: towards players. I'm really, really, really salty, and I'm very

433
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: upset over that loss yesterday. So I'm sorry. I still

434
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: think you're a fake out, but I'm sorry. I apologize, Okay,

435
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: onto Teddy Bridgewater. I think this is truly a break

436
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: up performance. Yes, he didn't go and put up four

437
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. He only had two touchdowns, but he also

438
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: had three hundred and thirteen yards and his receivers played

439
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: really well. We saw a really good game from d J. Moore,

440
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: another continued great game from Robbie Anderson, and then Mike Davis,

441
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: you know at the running pack position. He was one

442
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: of the top scorers in fantasy football this week. Now,

443
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: rumors have it that Christian McCaffrey could be back as

444
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: early as next week in Week six, so you know,

445
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: then there's some questions. Does this now go back to

446
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: a running offense and Teddy Bridgewater is not going to

447
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: throw his balls to his receivers as much? I don't know,

448
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know how that game script is going

449
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: to change one CMC is back in that starting lineup,

450
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: But regardless, I think we need to give credit where

451
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: it's due. And Teddy Bridgewater has been a really good

452
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback these last few weeks. So if you picked

453
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: him up on the waiver wire, or if you want

454
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: to continue to stream him contingent on the matchups, you

455
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: should be happy and feel proud about that decision. So

456
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go slightly different from what I

457
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: said about Derek Carr. I said he I think I'm

458
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: trending more towards fake out than breakout. I'm I'm more

459
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: toward breakout than fake out on Teddy B. But I'm

460
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: still not all the way there. I think again, like

461
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: my idea of Teddy Bridgewater coming into the season was

462
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: that he was going to be a streaming option, I

463
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: still have not completely moved off of that. I do

464
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: think he played great. I do think he's going to

465
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: be able to take advantage of matchups. I will say though,

466
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: I am more impressed with this Panther passing game than

467
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: I thought I would be. I didn't think Robby Anderson

468
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: was going to be a fit there. He's come in

469
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: and played very well in the first five weeks of

470
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the season. I liked what I saw on Sunday in

471
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: terms of them getting the ball to d J. Moore

472
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: as well. He had a nice long catch and run

473
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, and you can see that they are

474
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: really trying to get him the football and get him

475
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: involved in the action. I also want to see what

476
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: happens when Christian McCaffrey is back. Mike Davis has been

477
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: fantastic with McCaffrey injured, but I do want to see

478
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: what changes are, how much this changes with McCaffrey back,

479
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: whether or not they sort of go maybe being a

480
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: little bit more run based. But I like what I

481
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: seen out of Bridgewater. But again, I don't know that

482
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm using him as more than a streaming option in

483
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: a lot of leads, but I think if I were so, Basically,

484
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: if it comes down to all right, so let me

485
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: ask you this, if you have to pick a streaming

486
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: quarterback off the wire, and you're gonna go Derek Carr

487
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: or Teddy Bridgewater. I mean, I think I know what

488
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, but I'm gonna ask who are you going?

489
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: Teddy Be? Are you on Derek Derek Carr? I'm going

490
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: to Teddy Be. I'm done with you, Derek Carr. No, Shade,

491
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm done with you. But no, I honestly do feel

492
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: like especially looking at the schedule. I know we said

493
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: that there's some soft spots for the Las Vegas Raiders

494
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: when they take on the Jets, they take on the Broncos,

495
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: whose secondary is pretty banged up. But I really do

496
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: think it's Steady Bridgewater. And and that's that's not even

497
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: a homework pick. That's that's just it's what I feel

498
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: in my heart. Okay, Marcus, fair enough, fair enough, Alright,

499
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: So our last one here on breakout your fake out.

500
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Last week he had zero catches for zero yards.

501
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: That's not great. This week, he had all of the

502
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: catches for all of the yards. He had like twelve targets.

503
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: He had a huge game. I know, this Texans offense

504
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: is sort of hard to figure. Although I still feel

505
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller of the top two

506
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: top top two options in the passing game. But after

507
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: what we saw from Brandon Cooks on Sunday, are you

508
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: feeling like it's a breakout or a fake out? I'm

509
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna pull a you and just say yes. I feel

510
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: like it's either one of them. I don't know. I'm

511
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: just I'm just I'm just coasted in the middle on

512
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: this one and going to say yes because you're right.

513
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: You know, he had a hundred and sixty one receiving

514
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. I think all of us thought

515
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: that this was going to be a Wolf Fuller game,

516
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: but then Brandon Cooks came in and stepped up. But

517
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: my only problem here is that he's been inconsistent through

518
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: five games, gaining twenty five yards or fewer on three

519
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: of those occasions in those matchups. So it's really hard

520
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: for me to figure out who is Brandon Cooks and

521
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: what is he going to look like on a week

522
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: to week basis. I think that he could put up

523
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: some teen numbers every single week, maybe like twelve, thirteen,

524
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: fourteen fantasy points. You know, hopefully you want to have

525
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: another thirty plus fantasy point performance out of him. But

526
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: you're right, I think Will Fuller is going to be

527
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: the wide receiver one and then Brandon Coax is close

528
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: behind him. But I also think Kenney Stales is going

529
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: to get some looks and some opportunities. Now, we don't

530
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: know what's going to change with the coaching change that

531
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: just took place last week. They have the introim you know,

532
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: head coach and placed right now. Um, but I don't know.

533
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: It's really hard to put my put my finger on

534
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: exactly what Brandon Cooks is going to look like as

535
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: well as the rest of this receiving corpse. So it's

536
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: a yes for me, it's it's a yes. It's a

537
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: breakout or a fake out of it. He played well,

538
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: he played well on Sunday. I'm I'm going to I'm

539
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna regret this, but I'm gonna say it's a breakout.

540
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this is the startup some good things

541
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: for Brandon Cooks. I know we were sort of all

542
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: on this idea this past week that with the coaching change,

543
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: that the Texans basically just put the ball in the

544
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: hands of Deshaun Watson and let him work. And I

545
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: still think that's going to be the basic game plan.

546
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: Going forward, and I think it bodes well for his receivers.

547
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: We know that Deshaun Watson likes to go down field.

548
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: That's why Will Fuller was kind of a nice mid

549
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: round value pick. That's why Brandon Cooks has some had

550
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: some late round fantasy draft value. And so I'm gonna

551
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: go with say that this is the start of something

552
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. Now, obviously it's not gonna be a hundred

553
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: and sixty yards good every week, but I think there's

554
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: going to be more opportunity there. And I think we're

555
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna look back and that zero game was going to

556
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: sort of be just kind of a speed bump, and

557
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, hey, Brandon Cooks had a pretty good year.

558
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start to buy in now. I could

559
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: come back in a couple of weeks and you know,

560
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: have completely put my foot in my mouth. I I'm

561
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: not I'm not ruling that out, but I'm gonna say

562
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: that this is going to be sort of a breakout

563
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: here for Brandon Cooks. Okay, Okay, okay, let's see. Let's see.

564
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: I think every my answerment here I was always just

565
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna be yes to everything, because then no one can

566
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: come at me on on Twitter and and say I

567
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: was wrong. So you're learning, young padawan. I appreciate by

568
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: the way Kimny's got to pull out on her Twitter account.

569
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: You can go find it at Kimmy checks on Twitter.

570
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: The question being which of these three guys, which performance

571
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: gives you the most confidence going forward? To go and

572
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: vote there and make your voice be heard. And maybe

573
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: if there's somebody else that has you really all excited

574
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: about what they did in Week five, you can drop

575
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: that respectfully in the comments. Please with the game on

576
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday and mean that your league's waiver wire run might

577
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit different than it would in a

578
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: normal week, but it doesn't mean you can't go and

579
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: start putting in claims for guys right now. So we've

580
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: got our list of some Week six waiver wire targets. Fact,

581
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: let's go and look at that Listen. There got Andy

582
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: Dalton at the quarterback spot. We talked about him. With

583
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott now out for the season, Chase Edmund, Alexander

584
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Madison a couple of running backs you might want to

585
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Of course, Chase Claypool will be

586
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: a popular name after his four touchdown game on Sunday

587
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: Travis Fulgham, but a really big game for the Eagles.

588
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: He is going to be I think a coveted guy

589
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, especially in deeper leagues. Henry Ruggs

590
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of long catches against the Chiefs and

591
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: we're starting to remember why the Raiders drafted him so highly.

592
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: And then Cedric Wilson, who the last couple of weeks

593
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: is starting to get some run in that cowboy offense.

594
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: It might be a little bit crowded, but I think

595
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: if you're in a deep league where you meet to

596
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: help with the wide receiver position, Cedric Wilson is kind

597
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: of a low priority waiver guy to keep an eye on.

598
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: But let's talk a little bit about Alexander Madison because

599
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook was injured in the Sunday night and against

600
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had a groin injury. We're still waiting further

601
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: information on how serious that might be, but Madison came

602
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: in played very well, and I would think that this

603
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: is a week where people are going to need running

604
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: back to Alexander Mandison. I would imagine it's going to

605
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: be a very popular name for folks. He's gonna be

606
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: a huge, popular name, and he's actually gonna be one

607
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: of my top priorities on the waiver wire. This week

608
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: he had twenty rushing attempts, a hundred and twelve rushing yards,

609
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: and yes, I understand that he got a lot of

610
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: those opportunities because Dalvin Cook went on the sideline with

611
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: the injury. Even though he did return to the game,

612
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: he wasn't as productive as Madison was. Now we have

613
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: to realize Madison was also good last season. Okay, like

614
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: he was good last season, He's also really good running

615
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: back this season. So even if Dalvin Cook is healthy

616
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: all season and he continues to play, I think that

617
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: because the running back position is spread so thin this

618
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: season with injuries by weeks canceled postpone games, you need

619
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that you have really good handcuffs, and

620
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: I think alex that excuse me, Alexander Madison is a

621
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: handcuffed player that you should absolutely pick up and look

622
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: to target on the waiver wire, especially as they go

623
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: up next week against the Atlanta Falcons, who have not

624
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: been so hot as we all know. Why wouldn't you

625
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: want to have Lynn Manuel Miranda's favorite running back? Alexander

626
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: madisone I mean on your roster. When we were talking

627
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: during the preseason about needing to expand your fantasy rosters

628
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: because of COVID and that sort of thing, Alexander Madison's

629
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: name kept coming up as one of the prime examples.

630
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: If you draft Alvin Cook, if you have a deep

631
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: enough roster, you want to go get Alexander Madison. Now

632
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: he's available shockingly in about n of NFL dot Com league.

633
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's just that people had

634
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: short benches, it couldn't afford to hold the roster spot

635
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: for a guy who wasn't getting consistent touches. But Alexander

636
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Madison should be on a lot of rosters, and especially

637
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: if Dalvin Cook has him this time, He's going to

638
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: be a very popular ad coming up this week. So

639
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I think that's certainly a name to keep in mind.

640
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: But it might be worth if you have the roster

641
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: space and just hanging onto him and and and seeing

642
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: whether out he ends up getting a larger rule down

643
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: the line. We know they love Dalvin Cook, but at

644
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: some point they may also want to look to sort

645
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: of give him a break every once in a while,

646
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: and that could mean Madison ends up getting on the

647
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: field and getting some touches for for the Vikings. Another

648
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: running back name that is going to be important is

649
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds. And this, Jimmy is more than just an

650
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: injury thing. I mean, you know, Kenyan Drake is still healthy.

651
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: He's just not playing well and Chase Edmonds is out

652
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: playing him. I mean, I'm really starting to think that

653
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: I might want to get Chase Edmonds and maybe if

654
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: the situation is right, uh, consider he was a flex

655
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: because that that just seems to be what it is

656
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: right now in Arizona. I mean, it is what it is.

657
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: It's so funny when Chase Edmonds had his touchdown yesterday,

658
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: our producer Hytheen texted me because we were talking on

659
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: Sunday Show about Chase Edmonds and Kennyan Drake and what

660
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: is going on. And the second he scored, Hythem was like,

661
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what is happening? And I really think

662
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: it means that Chase Edmonds enters the conversation as someone who,

663
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: like you said, should possibly be started in a flex spot.

664
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: On a week to be basis, he had three rush

665
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: in attempts for thirty six yards. He had one twenty

666
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: nine yard beautiful touchdown, as well as five catches for

667
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: fifty six yards against the New York Jets. Now Kenyan

668
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Drake on the other side of that ball are not

669
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: on the other side another guy in that offense. He

670
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: had eighteen rushing attempt sixty yards and he finally got

671
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Now, Cliff Kingsbury said in the

672
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: postgame pressure he said nothing but good things about Chase Edmunds,

673
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: which continues to show me that I want to think

674
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: that they're going to continue to use him in this offense.

675
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: They said, not only can he run the ball, but

676
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: he also has a really good pass catching ability. With

677
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake kind of fading out, I think that Chase

678
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: Edmunds enters the conversation and should be a guy who

679
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: we should target to start on a week to week basis.

680
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: I've noticed that the disparity and snaps between the two

681
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: of them is getting smaller steadily by the week. And

682
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: I went back and watched that Cardinals Jets game late

683
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: last night, and there was just a difference between the

684
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: two guys. Kenyan Drake look hesitant trying to get to hole.

685
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: He just was sort of stutter stepping, didn't look decisive

686
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds was a lot more decisive, find the hole

687
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: and go, And at some point, I know the Cardinals

688
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: really want to get Kenyan Drake going, but it just

689
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be working. And I just wonder how

690
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: long they're going to continue to give Kenyan Drake so

691
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: many snaps and so many touches when Chase Edmonds continues

692
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: to be productive at the very least. Though, in a

693
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: week where we've got a lot of buys coming up, right,

694
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: and we've got a lot of key buys. I think

695
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: the Saints are off, the Seahawks are off, the Chargers

696
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: are off. There are going to be I think the

697
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Raiders are off. So that means you're looking at some

698
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: serious fantasy running backs, right. I mean that means no camera,

699
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: No josh Jacobs, Uh, no Joshua Kelly Uh. You know, no,

700
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: no Chris Carson. People are going to be in need

701
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: of running backs this week. So Chase Edmonds I think

702
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: is gonna end up being a very very popular name.

703
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: So you mentioned you might make Alexander Madison one of

704
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: your top priorities. Would he be your number one or

705
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: is there another guy that you might put above him?

706
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: You know what, No, I think he's absolutely going to

707
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: be my number one because we actually don't know what's

708
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: happening with Dalvin Cook. We understand that that news will

709
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: probably come out later today or at least by midweek

710
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: to understand for you know, the next Sunday's matchup, if

711
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: he's healthy and if he is a go or not.

712
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Even if he is healthy. I do think, like you said,

713
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison is such a good handcuff and the fact

714
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: that he's not owned in NFL dot com leagues goes

715
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: to show that a lot of people are kind of

716
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: flying under the radar on this guy. So I want

717
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: to go try to target him and get him and

718
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: hopefully he lifts me up to fantasy goals absolutely using

719
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: my top waiver priority. If I haven't on Alexander Madison,

720
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds would probably be right behind him, just because again,

721
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: this is going to be I think a tough week

722
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: for people when it comes to running backs. They're gonna

723
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: need some running back help. Chase Claypool will be a

724
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: close third, and hoping that he keeps some of that

725
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: target share with the Steelers offense. Is there anybody that

726
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: we didn't name on this list that maybe you have

727
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: an eye on. I went through and that's sort of

728
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: a not a great week for waiver wire targets. But

729
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's somebody you feel like we

730
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: have to mention, we didn't know. I mean, I think

731
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: the list is really comprehensive. This week. It's so hard because,

732
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: like you said, there are so many different bye weeks

733
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: happening that even if there is a guy that you

734
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: wanted to target on the waiver wire, you look and say, oh,

735
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: well he has a bye week, and then they have

736
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup. So it's really hard. So I

737
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: think this list is good. Um, and I you know,

738
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: right after we're done, I want to go and head

739
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire and really start to start making

740
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: some claims because I need to make sure that I'm

741
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: getting in a position. You know, we're getting to a

742
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: point in the fantasy football season where you know you

743
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: could lose your chance of going to the playoffs if

744
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: you have not been winning your matchups on a week

745
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: to week basis. So I want to be locked and

746
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: loaded so I can beat you, and I can be

747
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, and I can be all you other cats

748
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: and then brag all off season long I tweeted on

749
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Sunday morning that playing fantasy this season, it's sort of

750
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: like playing solitaire with two cards missing from the deck,

751
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: But the two cards that are missing change every time

752
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: you shuffle the deck, and so I think for for

753
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: that reason, it really is important to go out and

754
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: try to be aggressive on the waiver wire, maybe to

755
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: try to make trades were win and where you can.

756
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: I know, these schedule is continually shifting. You know, they

757
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of changes that they announced on Sunday. Look,

758
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean just common sense tells you that there will

759
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: probably be more changes to come because we don't know

760
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: how this thing is going to play out. So where

761
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: you can go and try to get some potential waiver

762
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: wire heroes, I strongly suggest that you go and do

763
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: that as best as you can. If you haven't already,

789
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: there are guys who are not just doing it for

790
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: us in fantasy I mean it happens every year. There

791
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: are guys that underperformed that we start to get a

792
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: little bit panicky about. And now that we are five

793
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: weeks into the season, I think we have a little

794
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: more clarity on a handful of guys. So I'm gonna

795
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: ask whether or not this is the end in the

796
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: in the wise words of new edition? Is this okay?

797
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: I won't I promise I won't do that again. That

798
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: was I'm sure disturbing a lot of people. Um, let's

799
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: go down took Matt Ryan who the first couple of

800
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, Matt Ryan was was Banana. I mean,

801
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: it was great. The last three weeks have not been

802
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: great and on Sunday was just awful against the Carolina Panthers.

803
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to get tweets asking if Matt Ryan

804
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: is droppable in in generally a ten and twelve team leagues.

805
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny, is is it a wrap for Maddie

806
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: Ice or is this just sort of a hiccup right now?

807
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it maybe a wrap book. Maybe not. Again,

808
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like skirt the fine line of yes on

809
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: this one. You talked about his first fee performances of

810
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: the season, he put up twenty three Fantasy points, and

811
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: then he put up twenty eight Fantasy points. These last

812
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: three weeks, he hasn't been able to put up more

813
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: than thirteen Fantasy points, and he also has only thrown

814
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: one touchdown in the last three games. Now, not only

815
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: does this raise a question of Matt Ryan and his ability,

816
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: but then it raises a question of what do we

817
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: do with Calvin Ridley and then a healthy Julio Jones. Thankfully,

818
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley had another monster game and we're hoping that

819
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: Julio can be back and healthy and playing. I'm concerned

820
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: about Matt Ryan. His next few games are up against

821
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: the Vikings and then the Lions. I think those are

822
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: decent matchups. So I don't know if I want to

823
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: fully put Maddie on ice yet. But you know, if

824
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: you have a two QB league and you have a

825
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: better streaming option who has a better matchup, maybe it's

826
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: time for you to look at him over Matt Ryan.

827
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: I am starting to downgrade Matt Ryan to the streaming guy.

828
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he was just the volume would sort

829
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: of keep him afloat. That hasn't happened. But I also

830
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: go back and look, the last three weeks, they played,

831
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, on Sunday, it was the Panthers, who have

832
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: been surprisingly tough on quarterbacks this year. They played the Packers,

833
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: who have a pretty good defense, and they played the Bears.

834
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: So I'm willing to sort of chalk it up to

835
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: a combination of playing three good defenses, not having Julio Jones,

836
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: either not having him at full speed or not having

837
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: him at all. So I can't just release Matt Ryan

838
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: back into the wild because of that. You mentioned. They've

839
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: got the foul or the the Vikings coming up, and

840
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: that Viking secondary has been probably matic all year long.

841
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: So this feels like a get right opportunity for Matt

842
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: Ryan coming up in Week six. So that's the reason

843
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: I can't quite give up on him. The week after that,

844
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: he's got the Lions, which is another pretty favorable matchup.

845
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: But I am certainly at a point where I don't

846
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: think I want to start Matt Ryan on a week

847
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: to week basis because it's showing that, you know, he

848
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: just isn't gonna be that productive kinda every single week. Now,

849
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: we do have the new coach conundrum, right if last

850
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: week we were all about the Texans and and Deshaun

851
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: Watson in their offense because they have a new coach.

852
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if we feel the same way about

853
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I don't know, but I do think that

854
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna be comfortable with making him a

855
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: set it and forget it sort of starter. I think.

856
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: I think right now he really is a streaming streaming

857
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: option at best, I think in a lot of fantasy leaks.

858
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: So you mentioned Juju Smith Schuster earlier in the show.

859
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: You were talking about Chase Claypool. How you went and

860
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: put in a waiver claim for him because you have Juju.

861
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: It has not been a great year for Juju. He

862
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: had a touchdown in Week one, but on the whole

863
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: it's just been kind of a down year. I mean,

864
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Are we putting him back on

865
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: the waiver wire? We just benching him? I mean, how

866
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: how how are you handling your Juju situation? Okay, well one,

867
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: I am crossing my fingers and putting everything up to

868
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: the fantasy gods that my waiver wire claim on Chase

869
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: kite Pool gets accepted and then I can stash and

870
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: have both of them on my team. Now, the one

871
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: thing that I will say about Juju and why I

872
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be quick to just put him on

873
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: the bench or put her out, put him out there

874
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, or see if I can get

875
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: any type of trade for him, is because it's unclear

876
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: that if his performance yesterday was slowed by that knee

877
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: issue that he has been dealing with. But regardless of

878
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: that injury, he has now failed to surpass fifty receiving

879
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: yards in his last three games. Now next week they

880
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: take on the Cleveland Browns, who are actually really good

881
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: this season and tough against the wide receiver position. So

882
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't know what to do here.

883
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: It's really a head scratcher, and it sucks because it

884
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: was such a tease. I think his very first game

885
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: of the season, he put up over twenty eight Fantasy

886
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: points and I was like, yes, Juju is back, He's

887
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: going to be don it. This is why I put

888
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: an early spind on him. But now he's kind of

889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: let me down. So I think it'll be interesting. I think,

890
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, if there's any positive and the Deontay Johnson

891
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, injury and him still not being fully healthy,

892
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: is that Juju really does have to step it up

893
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: if they want to score points. But I think Chase

894
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: Claypool has the opportunity to be just as good. So

895
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of a toss up for me. What concerns

896
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: me about Juju is sort of what we saw in

897
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: the the highlight package that was running that that a

898
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of these throws, a lot of these catches he's

899
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: making are on short throws, a lot of underneath throws

900
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: they're using. Claypool we know as a deep threat. Even

901
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: Deontae Johnson is more of a field stretcher. So those

902
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: air yards are there for those guys, they haven't seemed

903
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: to be there for Juju, and I think that's part

904
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: of the reason you have you see him struggle to

905
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: get to fifty receiving yards because you know he's just

906
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: not getting the target volume to sort of make up

907
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: for it. To see if there's a spread in the

908
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: football around they're finding new wide receiver targets. That does

909
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: sort of worry me. Again, I I'm not ready to

910
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of give up on him yet because I think

911
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: they're big days coming. But I think again he's right now,

912
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: he's down to a flex at best for me, and

913
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: I think you're sort of playing matchups when it looks

914
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: like the Steelers are going to have to throw the

915
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: football a lot. This is not what you drafted him

916
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: as you were hoping to get maybe a high end

917
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver to and maybe in a low end wide

918
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: receiver one if things worked out right. But I think

919
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: at this point in the season, it's fair to say

920
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: that that ship they have sailed and Juju is just

921
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: not going to give you the kind of numbers weekly

922
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: that you were hoping that he would get for you.

923
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of not giving you weekly numbers, mark Ingram and

924
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm I'm singling out mark Ingram here, but I could

925
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: probably expand this to the Baltimore Ravens running backs as

926
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: a whole, because mark Ingram and JK. Dobbins and Gust Edwards,

927
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: all of these guys are almost splitting snaps equally. They're

928
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: splitting touches and carries equally. Uh So, I'm gonna ask

929
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: you about mark Ingram. But I guess this kind of

930
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: goes across the board. How are we how are we

931
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: valuing these these Ravens running backs? Now? I think we're

932
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: not really valuing them at all. And if we want

933
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: to grab anyone from the Ravens offense. It wants to

934
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: be a receiver, it wants to be a tight end,

935
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: or just Lamar Jackson, or maybe even their defense because,

936
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: like you said, mark Ingram was the lead back yesterday

937
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: and he had less than six fantasy points. Right, he

938
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: had eleven carries for fifty seven rushing yards. But like

939
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: you said, it's not just mark Ingram, it's the entire

940
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: running back situation. And yesterday's game, not a single Ravens

941
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: running back exceeded sixty scrimm and yards or scored a touchdown,

942
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: even though the three of them had to combine a

943
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty rushing yards. So it just goes to

944
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: show that the game script is not favorable at the

945
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: running pack position. If you have a mark Ingram, if

946
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: you have a Gust Edwards, if you have a JK. Dobbins,

947
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: and you're starting the week by week, I'm sure you're

948
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: getting absolutely burned in your fantasy numbers. And that's because

949
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: these running backs for them to score points, they're very

950
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent, and sadly, the game script is not favor

951
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: running backs getting into the end zone. I had I

952
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: hope for mark Ingram. I really thought that there was

953
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: still going to be at least one solid year left now.

954
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: I thought J. K. Dobbins was set to take over

955
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: maybe end of this year, more into next season. But

956
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: right now the Ravens are content to use all these guys.

957
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's not throw Gus Edwards under the bus. Here,

958
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: Gus the bus. I didn't mean to do that, but hey,

959
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: it works out. I mean, look, he is a good

960
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: running back who I think would get a lot more

961
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: attention on any other team, but he's on a team

962
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: that wants to run the football, that is going to

963
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: be effective running the football. And through all this, you

964
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: still have love our jackson who's gonna run the ball

965
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know if you can get anything

966
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: from our Ingram and a trade without having to package

967
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: him with a couple of other guys. Uh, you know,

968
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: I almost think it might be worth putting him out

969
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: out there on the waiver wire and maybe there's a

970
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: big game coming, but he really is incredibly touchdown dependent.

971
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: I think at this point, I think, for me, I'm

972
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: just chalking this up as a miss and I think

973
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: I just move on from mark Ingram and and say, hey,

974
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's just not gonna work out this year.

975
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: That's that's what it is. Tyler Higbee was a guy

976
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: that a lot of people like I I knew I

977
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: couldn't quite put my finger on it's something, may be

978
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: nervous about it. Then on Sunday, Jerard Ever ends up

979
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: having a big game tie Or Higbee was kind of

980
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: missing in action, and aside from his one huge game

981
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: early in the season against the Bills, we haven't seen

982
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: much from Tyler Higbee. I know we talked about tight

983
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: ends being sort of volatile. Kimmy, are we ready to

984
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: completely give up on Higbee? We're still giving him a shot,

985
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I am going to give up on Higbee.

986
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: In the same six team man league that my fiancee

987
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: and I play in, which is very competitive, as anyone

988
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: would understand, I had Tyler Higgbee starting, and I also

989
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: had Juju Smith Schuster starting yesterday, and they got me

990
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. And then on my bench I had Jimmy Graham.

991
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ground had less than ten Fantasy points, but again

992
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: it was better than Tyler Higbee's three Fantasy points. I

993
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: think yesterday's performance goes to show that Jerald Everett is

994
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: the number one tight end in that offense, and Tyler

995
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: Higbee is a number two. I do not think that

996
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Derek Goff throws the ball enough for both of those

997
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: tight ends to be fantasy relevance. So for me, I'm

998
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: putting Tyler Higbee out there on the waiver wire, or

999
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: at least putting him on my bench, because I just

1000
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: don't think that his fantasy numbers are his fantasy performances

1001
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: are going to clim to me any type of win

1002
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: or any way to be competitive on a week to

1003
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: week basis. Right now, I think there are a handful

1004
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: of tight ends, and you've got Travis Kelsey, Darren Waller,

1005
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: I think, to some extent George Kittle as well, Mark Andrews.

1006
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: I think those are the guys that if you have them,

1007
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: you're pretty much set at tight end. Most everybody else

1008
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: you're probably streaming the position. So that means I think

1009
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: you can put Tyler Higby out on the waiver wire.

1010
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: You can find somebody who's matchup you like a little

1011
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: bit better this week. And the thing about Higbe is

1012
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: that he's not really running as many routes as you

1013
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: would expect. They're using him a lot as a blocker,

1014
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's on the field quite a bit, but

1015
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily going out and in a position to

1016
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: catch the football. And then you also have to throw

1017
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: in the fact that now you have the Generald Everett

1018
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: game to contend with every once in a while. And

1019
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think I think I might just

1020
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: be letting Tyler Higby go to the waiver wire and

1021
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: if somebody picks him up, then so be it. But

1022
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna just take my chances and try

1023
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: to stream the position and see what I can get

1024
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: from there, because it is not it's not working out.

1025
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Just sort of like all the other guys and say

1026
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: it's just not it's just not working out, you know.

1033
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: be played in Week five. We are not done by far.

1034
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: Normally we just have a Monday night game, but now

1035
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: we have a Monday Night and a Tuesday night game,

1036
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: so let's dive into those first. We'll start with the

1037
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: Monday night game the Chargers and the Saints, and we

1038
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: know Austin Ekeler is out for the foreseeable future for

1039
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers with an injury, so they've got a couple

1040
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,479
Speaker 1: of guys that they're gonna rotate back there. Who would

1041
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: you rather start, Gimmy, if you have the choice, Joshua

1042
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Kelly or Justin Jackson. I'm gonna go with Joshua Kelly

1043
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: on this one because he is absolutely the number one

1044
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: back in the offense, and I would understand that him

1045
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: and Jackson split carries almost you know, tanem fifty fifty

1046
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: last week, but I really do think it's Joshua Kelly. Now.

1047
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: I understand it's a tough matchup against the Saints, who

1048
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: didn't give much up on the ground against the Lions,

1049
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: but I'm expecting Kelly to have RB two type of numbers,

1050
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: So crossing my fingers there because I picked him up

1051
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago on the waiver wire, So please

1052
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: perform well for being tonight. I am. I'm leaning towards

1053
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: Kelly as well. I think that what gives him The

1054
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: edge for me is the touchdown upside potential that they

1055
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: are going to use him near the goal line. Been

1056
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: saying for weeks that he did not come in to

1057
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: be the Austin Ekeler in this offense. He came in

1058
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: to be the Melvin Gordon and they are using him

1059
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: as such. Now he needs to hold onto the football.

1060
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: Ball security has been an issue for him the last

1061
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and that that could could completely derail everything.

1062
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: If he fumbles the ball, then we could end up

1063
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: seeing more Justin Jackson. But I just think that when

1064
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: they get down near the end zone, it's going to

1065
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: be Kelly on the field and Kelly with the ball,

1066
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: and that touchdown upside gives him a slight edge for name.

1067
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: Now on the other side, there's no Michael Thomas. He

1068
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: is suspended for this one. It's not an injury situation.

1069
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: Reports are Michael Thomas got in a fight at practice

1070
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: with a teammate and so that is the reason the

1071
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: Saints are not going to have him available tonight. So

1072
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: with him out of the lineup for one more week,

1073
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: is there a Saints receiver that you trust more than

1074
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: the others. It's funny because when when I was looking

1075
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: in an answering this question is funny because my very

1076
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: first instinct was to be like Alvin Kamara, because not

1077
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: only as a running back but also as a pass catcher.

1078
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: But if I had a truly look at the wide

1079
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: receiver position, I'm picking between Trey Kwan Smith and Emmanuel Sanders.

1080
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Trey Kwan Smith on this one.

1081
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: I know all season long, I've been talking about Emmanuel

1082
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: Sanders and wanting for him to be really good, and

1083
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: he has been good. And the two of these guys

1084
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: are tied with seventeen targets each in games without Michael Thomas.

1085
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: But something in my gut tells me that Cherry Kon

1086
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: Smith is going to usurp him and be the more

1087
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: dominant wide receiver in tonight's matchup trick question, the answer

1088
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: is actually Taysom Hills. I'm gonna go tray Kuan as well.

1089
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: He He and Drew Brees seemed to have a pretty

1090
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: nice connection when Michael Thomas isn't there, and he's again

1091
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: he's more of a downfield guy. I want those guys

1092
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: who are gonna pick up those area yards, who are

1093
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: gonna get some of those longer throws and have it,

1094
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, so that you don't need as many targets

1095
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: and don't need as many receptions to put up a

1096
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: decent yardage total. Amanuel Sanders looked good as last time out,

1097
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: but I still think he's uh kind of more of

1098
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: a wild card. I think this is a passing game

1099
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: that is going to run primarily through Alvin Camara, but

1100
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: I think Tray Kuan Smith Jerry Cook get a lot

1101
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: of the other targets there. So that's the guy that

1102
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: if I had to pick a Saints wide receiver, then

1103
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Alright, let's move to the Tuesday

1104
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: game Bills at Titans. This thing has been sort of

1105
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: influx for a while, but it looks like it's going

1106
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: to be played on Tuesday. So now is Zack Moss

1107
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: is hopefully going to play in this one. But Devin

1108
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: Singletary looked good last time around. So would you go

1109
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: back to the well with Devin singles starry even if

1110
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: Zack Moss is on the field, You know, I I would.

1111
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: I know that's a little bit of a risky play

1112
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: with Zach Moss coming back into this offense, if he

1113
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: does play, that truly means they go back to a

1114
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: running back committee. I do think that Zack Moss is

1115
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: going to get those short yarded rushes excuse me, short

1116
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: yard did rushes. But Devin single Terry has proved himself

1117
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: and you have to look at the proof is in

1118
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: the pudding and that is exactly what he's done. So

1119
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I feel comfortable starting him as a

1120
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: loan RB two this week. I would like him as

1121
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: an RB two, and especially because he's going to catch

1122
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: the football like we see in this video that that

1123
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: he's catching the ball out of the backfield. I still

1124
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: want them to give him more goal line touches. It

1125
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: was great to see him get in the end zone

1126
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, but I want more of that. I'm

1127
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: afraid that Zack Moss is sort of going to take that.

1128
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: But hopefully what they saw out of him a couple

1129
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: of weeks ago gives them the confidence to let him

1130
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: have those opportunities. Because the use of rates are pretty good.

1131
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: The fact that they target him that's pretty good. It's

1132
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't score touchdowns that's concerning. But

1133
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: hopefully things have started to change little bit so I'm

1134
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: with you. I would I would like him as an

1135
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: RB two if I can. All right, last bit, A J.

1136
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: Brown has been out with an injury for a while now,

1137
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: but he is expected to suit up and play on

1138
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. If he does go, would you start him? Well,

1139
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're all the way look into Tuesday's

1140
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: game and you haven't had a wide receiver who's played, yes,

1141
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: chances are you absolutely do need to go start A. J. Brown.

1142
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the one positive note for

1143
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: this is that they've gotten two extra days to get

1144
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: him healthy after not being back and playing since Week one.

1145
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, when he did play, he had a really

1146
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: good first week game. So yeah, if you're in a

1147
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: position where you need to play a wide receiver, you

1148
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: can go ahead and feel comfortable with A. J. Brown

1149
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: and hope that he has a fully healthy, bounce back

1150
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: game against the Bills. The the passing game has pretty

1151
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 1: much gone through well. For a while, it was Corey

1152
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: Davis and John new Smith. Corey Davis is on the

1153
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: COVID list. He's not going to be available, so that

1154
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: means that it shifts back to A. J. Brown being

1155
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: the number one receiver for the Tennessee type, and so

1156
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: if he's on the field for Tennessee, he's going to

1157
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: be in my fantasy lineup. I say this as somebody

1158
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: who has had him in a couple of spots. It

1159
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: has been waiting patiently to get him back in. So

1160
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: I am sort of itching to get the aj A

1161
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: Brown back in my line up because I do think

1162
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: he's going to get plenty of targets from Ryan Tannehill

1163
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: and he is worth Look, there's a reason that people

1164
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: loved him as a breakout guy this year. So you've

1165
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: drafted him, You've waited all this time. You might as

1166
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: well get him in your lineup if he's playing, because otherwise,

1167
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: what are you even doing. What we are doing is

1168
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,759
