1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Just a few days left to set your championship line 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: up for Week seventeen. If your team is still alive, 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: you won't want to miss Michael Fabiano's starts and sits 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: for the final week of the regular season. Plus who's 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: number one? We're previewing the first round of next year's 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: fantasy draft. I have a feeling c. J. Spiller's name 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: won't be mentioned. I'm just saying, and as these injured 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: stars worked their way back, what you're worth a high 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: draft pick in? And what's you are too risky to touch? 10 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: For fantasy owners. NFL Fantasy Live starts right and now 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: he's in the AZERI so what you want. It's in 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, presented by Geico, the official Fantasy football show. 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: So it was a little bit the camera was low 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: and I was getting ready to rhyme. Yeah, I get 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: a little motion sickness from this thing being so close. 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Happy holidays, fans, we get ready to get you set four. 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Week seventeen in the National Football League, and big news 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: from Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy announcing on Thursday, 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will start Sunday against the Bears. Here's McCarthy 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: this morning on his franchise qb Okay, I'll start with 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: the announcement that we're preparing for the Chicago Bears with 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers as our starting quarterback. Every football player that 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: that plays in his game Sunday will have risk, and 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: I think we all understand that. Um So, we've done 25 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: our due diligence, We've gone through all the evaluations, and 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: we feel it's time for Aaron. Ready. It's ready, It's 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: time for Aaron is ready to play. He looks very 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: excited to get Aaron Rodgers back in the line. He's 29 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: gone to the Bill Belichick school of press conferences. Clearly. 30 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: All right, So the big question, now, you made it 31 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: this far, are you able to get by with a 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: different quarterback outside of Aaron Rodgers? Can you take Aaron 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Rodgers and put him in your lineup? If you're playing 34 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: for a championship this week? Why not? It's Aaron Rodgers 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and they have everything to play for. In Green Bay, 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: that game basically is to ur die. Why not start 37 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: Rogers in risk? Another quarterback who may or may not 38 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: play a whole game. I'd say this the only quarterback 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: I'd start over Rogers who you can actually have Nick 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: on your team? Is Nick Foles? They only took seventeen weeks. 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: Let's see what this exactly. Most fantasy leagues wrapped up 42 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: their championships in Week sixteen. Lots of people out there 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: still playing for a championship. This Sunday always tricky with 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: coaches benching starters before the playoffs. Let's take a look 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: at Michael Fabiano starts and sits for weeks seventeam starting 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks. Yes on Nick Foles, Yes on Matthew Stafford, 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: Yes on Jay Cutler, Sleep alert Terrell Prior against the Broncos. 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: You've been up. You've loved TP all season. I do 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: love Nissa TP. The last time he played the Denver Broncos, 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: surprisingly he had almost nineteen Fantasy points. Well, I wasn't surprised. 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: A lot of people were, though. This is a very 52 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: good matchup in the Broncos. They're not playing for too much. 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: How about Nick Foles see seventy fantasy points on Sunday 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Wouldn't be surprised. Well, maybe not five 55 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: year sixty, but he can give you right around twenty 56 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: five to thirty against this Dallas Cowboys defense. Which is 57 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: all banged up right now and one of the best 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: defenses if we're talking about fantasy matchups. He's got Roddy 59 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: White back being healthy, but you have Matt Ryan as 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: a sit this week. Tough match up against the Panthers 61 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: given up the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: season and only fifteen touchdown passes, and the Panthers still 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: have something on the line right there, playing for that 64 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: first round by real quick, You're playing Roddy White. Roddy 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: White to me, is it too? But this is a 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: bad matchup. This is a really bad match up. Let's 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: move on to the running backs now, and these are 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano's recommendations four week seventeen. You are playing for 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: a championship this week. Certain guys you like. Reggie Bush 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: is someone on the yes list, So is Lady on 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: Bell Eddie Lacy. You're sleeper Nile Davis. But this is 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: not just because you like Nile Davis. This is the 73 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs may sit Jamal Charles. That is the problem. If 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles plays one series, two series, and six, Nile 75 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: Davis will come in and he featured back for Kansas City. 76 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: This is why you don't play Week seventeen Championships. Lots 77 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: of people are nervous about Reggie Bush. He's got one 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: touchdown on the road this season. Why is he a 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: start for you? Playing the Vikings, this is a fantastic matchup. 80 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: They've given up the eighth most fantasy points of running 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: backs this season, and way back in Week one, Reggie 82 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: Bush had a hundred nine one scrimmage yards, one touchdown 83 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: and twenty five fantasy points against them, and it looks 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be healthy. I think the reason you 85 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: didn't play much last week was because of what that bumble. 86 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Look for him to come in what is a meaningless 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: game now for the Lions. Stephen Jackson is a sick 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: no more frustrating guy in fantasy this year. Fabsy had 89 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: all the potential the world, but he got hurt early. 90 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: He never really bounced back. He didn't and Jackson was 91 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: decent down the stretch, but overall, you're completely right. He 92 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: was a disappointment and this is not a good matchup 93 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: against Carolina. They've given up the second fewest fantasy points 94 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: to running backs this season. Back in Week nine against Carolina, 95 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 1: Jackson only had seven point six fantasy points. Tough matchup 96 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: Carolina again, they're playing for something too. He was the 97 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: second round pick this year. Where does he falter next year. 98 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say third, fourth round, somewhere in that area. 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: He's still gonna be a borderline too in most fantasy leagues, 100 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: but he's gonna be thirty one. Also moving on to 101 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: the wide receivers. Now some likes and dislikes from Michael Fabriano. 102 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: He says, yes on Alshon Jeffrey, start to Sean Jackson 103 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: and Julian Edelman. You're sleeper car Darryl Patterson against the lines. 104 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: He's been terrific over the last few weeks. And fats 105 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey. I know people are nervous a little bit 106 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: playing Green Bay, but there's no reason to not play 107 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey. This is a week if you're in your championship, 108 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: where you stick with your studs and you play the 109 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: guys who are on teams that have something to play for. 110 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: Alshean Jeffrey is one of those players. The Packers have 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: given up the fourth most fantasy points the wide receivers 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. Hey, this is probably a 113 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: no brainer, but we're in week seventeen. Here you're going 114 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: with your superstars and the guys who are playing on 115 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: teams with something to play for. We thought Tory Smith 116 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: was going to be a superstar this year in fantasy. 117 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: He's been good, but not quite the breakout guy. Yeah, 118 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: you say, said him against Cincinnati thousand yards season, but 119 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: he's only scored four touchdowns. The Bengals have allowed the 120 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: ten fewest fantasy points of wide receivers this season, and 121 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: Tory has no touchdowns in two career road games in 122 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and fewer than sixty yards in four straight games 123 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: overall against the Queen City kiddies. Let's look at the 124 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: tight ends now, Michael Fabiano says, some players to start. Look, 125 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: this is when this is when he gets really tough. 126 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Not only Week seventeen, a week seventeen tight ends. This 127 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: is pretty difficult. And yeah, the kickers that died in 128 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: the defenses, they're all tough. You've got to go Vernon 129 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Davis's he gave you nothing last week. He gave you 130 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: a big, bad zero. If you were in your Week 131 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: sixteen championship, I'm saying, playing this week against Arizona, Charles Clay, 132 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: Delaney Walker my sleeper in rupports, although you have to 133 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: keep tabs on his status this week against the Bears. Right, 134 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: take a look at the defenses now, Michael Fabiano says, 135 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: start the Dolphins against the Jets. Start the Steelers again. 136 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: No John there right, no no shot. Sorry, anybody against 137 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: the jail time they play, and I believe they had 138 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy boards. Chiefs are sick. Buccaneers are to sit 139 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs at San Diego. This is not one of those 140 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: must sits. Why do you have them as a definite set? 141 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: Because Andy Reid may not play his starters, and if 142 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: he's not playing the starters on the offensive side of 143 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: the ball, he's not playing the starters on the defensive 144 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: side of the ball. The game means nothing to the Chiefs. 145 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: The Chargers could have a lot writing on this game. 146 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: That's why I don't like the Chiefs defense. Right. There 147 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: you go, Michael Fabiano's big starts and sits four weeks seventeen. Tonight, 148 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: I'll get you caught up on all the latest headlines 149 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: for Thursday.

Really encouraging news for the Packers, regardless 157 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: of who's under center. Not encouraging for the Bears. Run 158 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: Defan has yeah, that the run defense hasn't been able 159 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: to stop anybody. Now you have Aaron Rodgers there. I 160 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: don't expect the Packers to even throw the ball much. 161 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be any Lacey a lot of him. So 162 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: if you're still playing in week seventeen, you got to 163 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: start this guy. Yeah, especially to you know that this 164 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: offense is going to want to pound the ball, like 165 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Adam is talking about, just to aid to give him 166 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers an extra game here to to rest, so 167 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: to speak, without having to get into the mix. Of course, 168 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: it's going to be incumbent on Eddie Lacey being able 169 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: to the pass worte when they need to throw the ball. 170 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: But this is gonna be a great game for Lazy Yeah, 171 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: James Stark should probably have a decent game as well. 172 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett says Tony Romo status remains 173 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: unchanged today. Garrett says the team will continue to evaluate Romo, 174 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: so should fantasy owners move forward assuming Orton we'll get 175 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: the start in Dallas. Oar well, I say so. I 176 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: mean this is a little trick. I mean, Tony Roman 177 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: could come back and go out there and play, but 178 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean, with that type of injury is so sensitive, 179 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: I would just try to avoid Tony Romo altogether, just 180 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: because you never know one hit away from being a disaster. 181 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: But in the beginning of the week, it seemed like 182 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: they were just kind of trying to fool the Eagles 183 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: into thinking that Tony Romo might play. But now as 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: we get closer, it's starting to seem like more of 185 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: a reality it might actually happen. Chief said coach Andy 186 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: Reid says he will mix and match starters just like 187 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: I do outfits and bench players. In the Chiefs Week 188 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: seventeen game against the Chargers, the Kansas City starts. Randy 189 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: Covis points out that regularly rested starters the last week 190 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: of the season, while in Philadelphia. So, guys, is Nile 191 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: Davis a good pick up this week? Certainly if you're 192 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: still playing in your fantasy leagues, go out and pick 193 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: up Nile Davis. And you know that the report directorate 194 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: though the last couple of times that the Eagles have 195 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: been in this position to rest starters when Andy Reid 196 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: was the coach, obviously he's done it, even is is 197 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: uh in two thousand and ten was the last time 198 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: that that happened, and he rested everybody. So I expect 199 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs to do the same thing here. Well, I 200 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: do know that the charges are still you know, they're 201 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: they're fighting. So I know that defensive line, that that 202 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: front seven, they're very good upfront. So I say no 203 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: Onnell Davis. Nel Davis did have a rush TD in 204 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: two of the last three, but off bar is not 205 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: approving there. Good stuff, gentlemen, Thank you. Still to come. 206 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: We're revealing the win are of two more end of 207 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: the year Fantasy awards. Who will win our Fantasy Sophomore 208 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: of the Year in NFL Fantasy Lives prize for the 209 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: best single game performance post the year. But first playoffs. Yeah, 210 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: we're talking about playoffs and which players can net you 211 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: a trip to Super Bowl forty nine and our NFL 212 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: dot Com Playoff challengeing NFL Fantasy Live back in a minute, 213 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna off the goal. Thus William the four side. 214 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: Time Now for who's got the better line of presented 215 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: by head and shoulders. We've reached week seventeen. Many fantasy 216 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: leagues of crown their champion, But fantasy doesn't end. NFL 217 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: dot COM's Playoff Challenge game will satisfy your fantasy hitch 218 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: during the postseason. So FABS tell us how it works. Well, 219 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: you want to pick players that are playing in the postseason. 220 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: You accumulate points based on what they do. But the 221 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: big strategy here is the multipliers. As long as a 222 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: player that you pick continue used to go through the playoffs, 223 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: as his team wins, you get double, triple and quadruple 224 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: points if they make it to the Super Bowl. So 225 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: you want to pick the teams you think are gonna 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: make it further because a six point touchdown in the 227 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is worth twenty four points. So let's take 228 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: a look at the current a f C playoff seatings 229 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: as they stand right now. The Denver Broncos that z 230 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: next to them, Hey, they clinched that first round by 231 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: could be the New England Patriots. Bengals are playing for 232 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: it as well. Obviously people are gonna default to the Broncos. 233 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: But FABS, give me a surprise team here, maybe through 234 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the a f C. A surprise team. How about the Colts. 235 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: The Colts have beaten a lot of good teams this year. 236 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: They're beating the Seahawks, They're beating the Broncos, So watch 237 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: out for Indianapolis. I take a look at how things 238 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: shake out right now in the NFC excess next to 239 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and surprisingly the Carolina Pantheon sy some 240 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: teams in the hunt. Here, a bar, give me a 241 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: surprise team that could make a big run through the 242 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: NFC for you. Well, you know the Philadelphia Eagles. I 243 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: think they're Brian Kennet, the way they're scoring with Nick Foles, 244 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. I think this team could make you know, 245 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: a good push. All right, So let's take a look 246 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: at FABS and ock bars potential challenge playoff challenge line 247 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: up as it stands right now. Again, you're picking the 248 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: players you think are gonna make it. The furthest in 249 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: the postseason, looking at FABS his lineup. It's obvious he 250 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: thinks the Seattle Seahawks are gonna go to the Super Bowl, 251 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and Akbar is defaulting towards the Denver Broncos making it 252 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. But here's the thing, Fad. You 253 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: see some names here, teams that might not be playing 254 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: in the first round, but you still want to start him, 255 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: right That's part of the strategy. If you start players 256 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: who aren't playing in wild Card weekend, you'll get double 257 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: points in the second round of the post season. It's 258 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: all part of the strategy. You can play against us, 259 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: you can play against your friends. It's fun. It's easy 260 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: at NFL dot Com, and we're gonna explain why I 261 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: think certain players have advantages. Right now, FABS, you have 262 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Frank Gore in your line of as one of your 263 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: running backs. It doesn't make sense to go with Marshawn 264 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: Lynch and Robert Turbin at running back. So I'm going 265 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: with the Niners in Frank Gore. He has been very 266 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: productive in the postseason in the past, and I think 267 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the Niners are the one team outside of Carolina who 268 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: could surprise Seattle. Are you like Shane Vereen to maybe 269 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: make a nice little run here for you. Well, Mike, Mike, 270 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: you talked about it, the multiplier, that's the that's the 271 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: factor right now when you're talking about trying to get 272 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: fantasy points. And for Shane Verreen, the way he's been producing, yeah, 273 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in that divisional round. And when you 274 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: talk about the way they're gonna utilize him with no 275 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, they have to find somebody else to throw 276 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: some of those short routes to, it's gonna be Shane 277 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: Verreen right now leading the team in reception in the 278 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: last six weeks and also, excuse me, leading the team 279 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: as far as amongst running backs, and amongst running backs 280 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: he's also got the most amount of receptions as well. 281 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: So this team, this guy could really get you a 282 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: bunch of points. I'm gonna default towards Frank Gore here 283 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: simply because you talked about how good he's been in 284 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: the past. He's a number one running back there. Shane 285 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: Veren's kind of hit and miss. You could get great 286 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: production from him, but if it's a game where he's 287 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: one catch for three yards, those nine yards or twelve 288 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: yards are gonna do any good? Un Likely is that 289 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: without Rob Gun Council. We've seen that the last couple 290 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: of weeks. To go look at his numbers in a 291 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: week sixteen, you know taking team is going to want 292 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: to make that Butcher get into that championship round. They're 293 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: gonna use Vareene. All right, let's move on to the 294 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver position now, and Akbar, you have Dwayne Bow 295 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: as someone you're gonna try to play all the way 296 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: through well, you know, Dwyane Bow with Alex Smith, I 297 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: think that you know, when you look at the way 298 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: Alex Smith has been producing. You know, we saw a 299 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: couple of stretch here, two back to back games with 300 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: Dwayne Pole where he put up really decent fantasy point numbers, 301 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna get past through the Indianapolis 302 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: Coast and then once they get past the Innnapolis Colts, 303 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden depict depending on how those 304 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: matchups are, you can see Dwayne Pole going out there 305 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: and scoring some big numbers. I think he's gonna go 306 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: over Bonte Davis. I think he's gonna make big numbers. 307 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: If he can get twenty points, you roll that over 308 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: into the next week. Maybe they don't win, but he 309 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: could get enough points where you go, he's a worthy 310 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: pick from the a f C. The facts, you're like 311 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: dun Ball when not because of the numbers he's gonna 312 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: put up. But if he moves on and suddenly those 313 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: quadruple nubbles will be pretty big. The definition of a 314 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: sleeper in the NFL playoff challenge a guy who didn't 315 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: put up big numbers. He did lead the Seattle Seahawks 316 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers and fantasy points, but if he goes four rounds, 317 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna start him in the wild card round 318 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: even though Seattle is not playing, I can get potentially 319 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: quadruple fantasy points from Doug Baldwin and quadruple points from 320 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. It's probably gonna beat up most of 321 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: the elite rest yevers in the postseason. Again, I'm going 322 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: all in on the Seahawks. I think the fact that 323 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: they lost to the Cardinals was sort of an eye 324 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: opening experience. They're not gonna let that happen again in 325 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: the postseason. Yeah, I'm gonna go with FABS again here, 326 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: just because I'm not convinced the Chiefs are gonna go 327 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: on the road and put together a string of a 328 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: couple of games needed to win. You look at some 329 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: stinkers they put up, like last week, and sometimes they 330 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: look dominant, sometimes they look like they're gonna lose this game. 331 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Rank passing offense in the in the league. Right now, 332 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: you're still gonna go. I'm still gonna go because I 333 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: believe in the Seahawks making it further than I do 334 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, and that they don't often throw 335 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: the football, but when the Seahawks do, they throw it 336 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: to Doug Ball. But let's look at the quarterbacks here, 337 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: this one very close, FABS. You have Russell Wilson as 338 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: your playoff quarterback, and Russell burned me in Week sixteen 339 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: and one of my finals, I lost by three points. 340 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: But I'm not bitter or anything like that at all. 341 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: He will come back with a vengeance and play extremely well. 342 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: Most of the time. He plays very well in the 343 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: Great Northwest. And again, the Seahawks, in my opinion, are 344 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl, so why not take their quarterback. 345 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't get any points from him in the first 346 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: week of the playoffs, but I'll get double in the 347 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: second tripping when they go to the NFC Championship and 348 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: quadruple when the Seahawks are playing in the snow in 349 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Bar if you're like the Denver Broncos, and 350 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: makes sense that you have Peyton Manning is your playoff 351 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: challenge quarterback? Yes, and I trust Peyton Manning and I 352 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: know the same information in the same anecdote, and all 353 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: the stuff about the statistics about him has been regurgistated 354 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: over and over again. I say that Peyton Manning's going 355 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: to break all of that nonsen that people talk about 356 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: about him playing in the big game. When you look 357 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: at Peyton Manning, he has been on point. He's made 358 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: a historical run this year. I say that he's gonna 359 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: be able to take these guys all the way. And 360 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: you're you are going to look at the triple quadruple 361 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: points for Peyton Manning. He's gonna be the better quarterback 362 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: in this situation. I'm going this time. I'm going with you, Okay, 363 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: with Payton. Just because Peyton is a better quarterback. I 364 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: think he's gonna put up more fantasy points of Russell Wilson. 365 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: Don't have to win the Super Bowl, just gotta get there. 366 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: Pay It is a very good play. There's no question 367 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: about that. So I agree with Akbar as well, but 368 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: I went Russell Wilson because I just think the NFC 369 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little easier road than the FC. 370 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: When Peyton's got to play Tom Brady, yeah, he's still 371 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: gonna win. That's gonna be a tough one. Let's take 372 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: a look at the board again. See who my picks 373 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: our favorite? It looks pretty close between here. Really, it's 374 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: about do you believe more that the Broncos are gonna 375 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: make it or the Seahawks are gonna make it. I 376 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: believe a little bit more than the Seahawks. But it's 377 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: hards me to adore Peyton into Marius Thomas's tighter. I mean, 378 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: you just hate though. Matt Prayer Matt praytor seventy four 379 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: for seventy four so far this at this point in 380 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: the season, for extra point, he's getting ready to set 381 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: a record that's a single season or something like the unbelievable. 382 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: All right, So you're upset that I didn't pick your kicker? Now, yes, really, 383 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: you're just angry at me for some reason. I am 384 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: I wanted more things. I wanted more.

Thanks 408 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: so much for taking your call. This is Madison, longtime listener, 409 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: first time caller. Wait, are you really from Connecticut? Yeah? Okay? 410 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: Who's the tight end for the Dallas Cowboys? Jason Witt? 411 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: Who's the quarterback of the Panthers? Cam new In? Okay, 412 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: you are from Connecticut? Gout. I've been thinking about the 413 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: first round of next year's draft. If I have the 414 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: number one pick, who should I take first overall in 415 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: the next fantasy season? Well, and lucky you asked this, 416 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: because we'll take a look right now at the top 417 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: ten players on championship teams for this year. Jamal Charles 418 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: was owned by the most number of people, over twenty 419 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: nine percent of people who won championships had Jamal Charles. 420 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is very popular, so is Zach Stacy, Nick 421 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: Foles over of teams. But I'm gonna give you a 422 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: couple of running backs that I look at. Matt Forte 423 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: is someone who you've seen what he's done in this 424 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: first year. Mark Tressman's offense, all the responsibility really coming 425 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: on another year of being more comfortable and being the 426 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: number one guy to go to on the ground and 427 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: in the air. Forte is a guy that you could 428 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: look at, taking number one overall, look two nine fantasy points, 429 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: third most among running backs. He's on the way up, 430 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: still in his prime years. Another guy kind of like 431 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: is Lashawn McCoy. Kind of the same boat. There is 432 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: Matt Forte in Philadelphia there, caller, Yeah, Jason, I really 433 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: like him to leading the NFL and rushing yards second 434 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: most fantasy points among running backs this season, also leading 435 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: the NFL with over two thousand scrimmage yards and plays 436 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: on the second highest scoring offense. So Madison really likes 437 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: McCoy too. All right, now, I like how you went 438 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 1: third person there. I really appreciate that, Madison. Thanks love 439 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: for the call. Uh, Trucker Bob from Orange County. You're 440 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: on the air with Jason. How are you, Trucker Bob? 441 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm good, Hey, Jason, how are you doing good? What 442 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: are you hauling? Hey? Man? Look, I'm a big fan 443 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: of the show now, and that's by the way, I'm 444 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: hauling real big lard. There's big pounds and pounds of lard. 445 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: I love Laura lard. Good for your health. Hey look here, 446 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm wait hunk your horn for me. Come on your trucker, 447 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: hunk your horn. Can't can't hear it? No not gonnahit 448 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: it okay, No worries. Hey, look, look, my question is 449 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: I felt like no matter who I took in the 450 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: first round, it wouldn't make a difference. But I took 451 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: ray Rice in the first round and he didn't do 452 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: much for me. Could a championship really be wonner laws 453 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: in the first round? Yes? And actually can. Let's take 454 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: a look right now, because you can lose your draft 455 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: in the first round depending on where you pick. Pick 456 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: number one. People who picked first one just over seven 457 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: percent of the time. Pick number four is the worst. 458 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: You're winning just over seven percent of the time as well. 459 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: You want to pick seven, eight, nine, ten. You know 460 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: why these are great players to go is because this 461 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: is where you're gonna still get a stud, but you're 462 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: gonna come back a little bit earlier in the second 463 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: round because you're draft snakes and you're gonna get a 464 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: better player. They're picking at thirteen, four, fifteen than the 465 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: guy picking number one coming all the way back at 466 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: twenty one. So make sure you get a stud in 467 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: that first round. But where you pick as a pretty 468 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: big deal. And don't take ray Rice. Let's go to 469 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: our next caller is uh Vinny from statn Island. Vinny, 470 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: how you doing hey? First time? Long time? What's going on? Jason? Good? Good? 471 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: How's things going over there in New York? Hey? Man, 472 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I'm getting ready for my Yankees. They're 473 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna have a World Series this season. Anyways, man, I 474 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: gotta talk to you about Peyton man now. He's in 475 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: my keeper league. He's been great for me this year. 476 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: But I got Nick Foles now, and and I don't 477 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: know what I should do. Should Should I keep Peyton Manning? Oh? Yo? 478 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: Should I should? Maybe keep Nick Foles this year? All right? 479 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: But let me let me tell you this, Peyton Manny, 480 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: if you're talking about a keeper for next season, Nick 481 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: Foles is young, He's got a lot of football left. 482 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: He's in a great offense. I love Peyton Manning, but 483 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: Peyton man has get closing on forty years old. How 484 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: many more years does he have left? And bottom line 485 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: is Nick Foles has been every bit as good as 486 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: Peyton manning over the last eight nine weeks. He's young, 487 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: He's got another year as the full time starter for 488 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: this team.

What's your question? Issue 496 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: number one? Trent Richards and c J. Spiller were the 497 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: wrong picks in the first round this year? Should they 498 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: be continued to be trusted as first round picks going forward? Well, 499 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about both of these guys. Think 500 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: c J. Spiller is not to be trusted. You cannot 501 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: put anybody from the Buffalo Mill's back build into your 502 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: fantasy roster. This guy is nothing more than a flex spot. 503 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: This and then you want to talk about Trent richardson 504 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: curtain jerk or special guys who have ruined vanity seasons 505 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: year after year. If you're looking Downald Brown, he was 506 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: a much better draft pick this season. Trent Richardson not 507 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: so good. So I will say you good bye. Okay, 508 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: he called me prus, he called me right, okay, yeah, alright, 509 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: very good. Alright, so we asked an answer. Here we go. 510 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: Here's your draft breakdown first round, speaking of how things 511 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: should go and who's gonna fall out. Yes, Ray Rice 512 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 1: will fall out next year, Doug Martin will fall out 513 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: next year, and see j Spiller will fall out, and 514 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: so will Trent Richardson. I'm gonna see some other names 515 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: jumping in here in the first round. Potentially potentially Doug 516 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: Martin moots like to fall far into the second round, 517 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: but you'll see some names replacing at least those four. 518 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: We have time for one more caller, and it is 519 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: really really bamby. Alright, you're on NFL Fantasy Live Radio. 520 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: What's your question? Hi, Hi Jason, Thanks so much, long 521 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: time listener, first time caller. I was wondering who will 522 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: be the biggest disappointment. All right, Wait, first of all, baby, 523 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: I didn't my wallet at the club, did I? Oh? No? Okay, 524 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: all right, okay, good, you want to get an intern 525 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: to go get that just yeah, it's just down the street, right, Okay, 526 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: go ahead. Uh. You know my big disappointment for this year, 527 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Bamby is gonna be Reggie Bush. He's someone that's gonna 528 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: jump up into the first round. People look at his 529 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: production this year, but I'm very nervous about him for 530 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: next season. He stayed healthy for the most part, but 531 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: he was still dinged up. But the bigger issue is 532 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: he put the football on the ground a lot. He 533 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: was sat down and when joy Bell came in, he 534 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: was terrific the lion. See they have a different, uh 535 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: alternative now running back. It's not just Reggie Bush. Joy 536 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: Bell is gonna cut right in there. I'm nervous about 537 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. People are gonna take him high. I'm not 538 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: saying don't draft him. I'm just saying take him later on. 539 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: Don't take him that early. He will wind up disappointing you. 540 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: All Right, That's about wraps up NFL Fantasy Live Radio 541 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: for today.

Let's take a look at just a few 567 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: of those names right now, and as you can see, 568 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: all these guys sideline listed with the injury and then 569 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: also their average draft position. So we're gonna get into 570 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: that in just a moment. Arian Foster, one of the 571 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: top five picks in most fantasy leagues, was shut down 572 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: earlier this season due to a back injury. For more 573 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: on that and what it means for Foster's future, we 574 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: checked in with our resident medical expert, Dr Neil Budadre 575 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: So fantasy viewers, Arian Foster. I know this is a 576 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: big question about longevity. He's had multiple injuries now in 577 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: multiple different parts of his body. What does this mean? 578 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: So here we're looking at the lower spine for Arian Foster. 579 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: Aryan Foster has something called her needed disc and you 580 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: underwent a surgery called aposectomy, which is a removal of 581 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: the disc. Simulate what Aaron Foster has in terms of 582 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: the disk rupture. I will show you here a balloon 583 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: that's that be filled with the fiscus gel like fluid 584 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: and what he had is practically a rupture in the 585 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: balloon leading to gel squeezing out. And the problem with 586 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: this is when this squeezes out, it actually squeezes onto 587 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: the nerve. So the surgery that's actually done for Aryan 588 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: is they'll go in and actually remove the gel. But 589 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: when you remove the gel, you still have the slit 590 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: here and you hope that it kind of scars in. 591 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: The problem is one bad injury for Aryan, one bad injury, 592 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: and it's gonna happen again. You've got a hole there already, 593 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: so the problem becomes it's an easy way for the 594 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: jail to keep coming out. Now, in terms of Arian 595 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: Foster's durability as a doctor, I really have to be 596 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: concerned that he still has a hole in his disk 597 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: and whether it fills in or not with scar tissue, 598 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: it's still a weak spot in his disk. So next 599 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: time he actually gets an injury, it can really come 600 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: out and cause problem. So as a doctor I do 601 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: think that he should share to he's with another running back. 602 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: But don't be surprised owners if you see this happen 603 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: again next year. Oh Dr Neil, thank you so much. 604 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: That was quite the visual gentleman. And of course Arion 605 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: had that surgery. Um no. And the thing that we 606 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: want to know here, his average draft position this year 607 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: was third overall. So given what we just heard from 608 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: Dr Neil Goodadro watch his value next season, where would 609 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: you draft him? Adam. When we were coming into this segment, 610 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking somewhere around the second round, i'd feel 611 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: a little bit safer. But after watching that now I'm 612 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: starting to think maybe he'll drop He'll drop down a 613 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: little bit, maybe he'll drop into the third or fourth round, 614 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: because he's gonna have to be a timeshare type running back, 615 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: not somebody that can go ahead and trust. When I 616 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: look at the way i'm gonna construct my draft board, 617 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be a first I'm not gonna give 618 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: him a first round grade. I'm gonna look at another 619 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: running back and then maybe if he fell towards the 620 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: end of the second round, because I would look for 621 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver at the beginning of the 622 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: second round. But maybe if you're at the end of 623 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: the second where you can flip around and get him, 624 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: get him in that spot, that's where I would feel safe. 625 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: But it's second round, but only at the very end 626 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: rush here, it's an of the three seasons prior, of course, 627 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: to this injury. Let's keep this conversation going some other 628 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,239 Speaker 1: injured stars in their draft value, and let's look at 629 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: r G three a little bit of a different situation. 630 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: He was shut down December eleven. More about maybe the 631 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: circumstances and that surgically repaired me. What do we do here? 632 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: I think he could end up being a very good 633 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: draft bargain next season, and he will be a quarterback 634 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: that I'll target because he's not gonna come off the 635 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: board until somewhere around the seventh or eighth round. Hey, listen, 636 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: he had some stinkers this year. He definitely did, but 637 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: he also had some pretty good fantasy games, even if 638 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't real, real good in terms of reality, he 639 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: had some good fantasy production in certain games over twenty 640 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: fantasy points four or five different times on the season. 641 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: So if I'm the type of person to wait for 642 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and I happen to be the type of 643 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: person who waits for a quarterback, Robert Griffin, the third 644 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: will be somebody that I am targeting. They'll have a 645 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: whole another off season and heal from the A C 646 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: l procedure. He should be back to I don't know 647 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: his coach is gonna be, but he should be healthy. 648 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: Seventeen most fantasy points of quarterbacks this season, Adam. Let's 649 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: get into Doug Martin. The books have showed a law 650 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: of the second half of the year, and it was 651 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: a shoulder injury, so not not as serious as promising, 652 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: not as serious, But I still look at Doug Martin 653 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: to be about a third round pick. Perhaps I liked 654 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: what the offense, the way it's evolving down there in 655 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I like mcglennan, yes, that's more in Stapp's 656 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: nickname for him. I like what the young quarterback did. 657 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson's there. They've got a nice young tight end. 658 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: But not only was Doug Martin lost for the season, 659 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: but some other guys were able to emerge, guys like 660 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: Mike James and Bobby Rainey, which leads me to believe 661 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a running back by committee there. That's 662 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: how about Reggie Wayne, obviously a little older, thirty five 663 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: year old receiver coming off a torn a c L. 664 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: Is this a wait and see approach? I feel bad 665 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: about calling him old since some forty He's gonna be 666 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: thirty six football term in November next year, so I 667 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: don't know how quickly he's going to be able to 668 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: recover from an h c L. We talked about r 669 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: G three, we talk about Adrian Peterson younger players. Peterson 670 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: still in his twenties, r G three and his younger twenties. 671 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: I would see him as more of his sixth round 672 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: pick somewhere in that area, as a borderline number two 673 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: or three fantasy wide receiver. And remember the Colts, they 674 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: have some young white ups they're coming up, but that staff, 675 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: they're so impressive a career, a thousand plus yard receiving seasons. Okay, 676 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: moving on here, Julio Jones, Adam, what do you do 677 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: with this situation? I would put a fifth round grade 678 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: on Julio Jones. The way I'm gonna go about my 679 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: team is I'm gonna get running back, receiver, running back, 680 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, and start filling out my roster. And Julio 681 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: Jones looks to be like a guy who could be 682 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: a good wide receiver to for you, somebody'd be willing 683 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: to take a chance on somebody like Jordy Nelson that 684 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: I came into this season, not expecting him to carry 685 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: my team, but does have the ability to do it 686 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: if he's given the chance. My biggest fear is that 687 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: his injury is going to be severe, as Dr Neil 688 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: said earlier this week, So I go fifth round. He 689 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: was placed on the I R October tenth with a 690 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: foot Moving on to Gronk. Here, Rob Gronkowski, Patriots tight 691 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: end fabs torn A c L and M c L 692 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: and week fourteen. One of the best tight ends, but 693 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: always hurt. I'm gonna say fifth round for Gronkowski. You're right, 694 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends in Fantasy foot ball, 695 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: second behind Jimmy Graham or no worse than third behind 696 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: Graham and who and Julius Thomas. But those injuries and 697 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: the surgeries apt has anybody in the country had more 698 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: surgeries you could Gronkowski in the NFL over the last 699 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: year and a half. So it's risk reward, no doubt 700 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: about it. But once you get into that fifth round area, 701 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like that scratch man, you just have 702 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: to itch it. No. It was incredible. We were trying 703 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: to put together aboard. They wouldn't fit all on one screen, 704 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: all the surgeries, all the injury, so we shall see 705 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: their good stuff.

Listen. 737 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: I know Alshan Jeffrey's emerging. I can't it, but I'm 738 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: one of the few receivers capable of dominating a game. 739 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm still the focal point of this offense. Listen to this. Okay, 740 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: last three seasons, I'm the only player in the NFL 741 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: with eight plus receptions twelve hundred plus receiving yards in 742 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: six plus t d s. Yeah, you're looking you're looking 743 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: pretty good. I know when Jay Cutler is in there too. 744 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about that because it could 745 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: be Cutler. They could go another direction. But who my 746 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: quarterback is? All right, Well, listen here, Brandon Marshall, you're 747 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: a keeper. We're gonna keep you around.

Let's take a look at some 751 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: keepers and people to not keep for two thousand fourteen 752 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: from the wide receiver position. As I said, Brandon Marshall, 753 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey both safe to keep. Jordy Nelson came on 754 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. His production fell just 755 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: a little bit, but that has more to do with 756 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers being out and some guys not to keep. 757 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: Eric Decker put him back into the draftful Victor Cruz. 758 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: Julio Jones has some injury concerns, so go ahead, now 759 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: let's go.

Of the best single game 819 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: Fantasy performance has voted on by our staff here at 820 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: NFL Network and NFL dot Com. The nominees on Peyton 821 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: Manning week one against Baltimore, Nick Foles Week nine against 822 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: the Raiders, Jamal Charles Week fifteen against the Raiders. It's 823 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: not as simple as who had the most points. You 824 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: had to take a lot of things into account. Peyton 825 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: Manning did a week one when everybody was playing him, 826 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: Nick Foles came out of nowhere to really give you 827 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: a win, and of course Jamal Charles doing it in 828 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: the postseason. So you guys have a we want to 829 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: guess is going to be the winner here? Like the 830 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles one's near and dear to my heart. Well, 831 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: you know what, the fact that Jamal Charles he has 832 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: the most amount of points in that one, but that 833 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,320 Speaker 1: Nick Foles performance was pretty impressive. I wouldn't be surprised 834 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: if this pick ends up being nick Foles going out 835 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: all right again, it's sealed very well and the winner 836 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: is oh, Jamal Charles was sixty five percent of the vote. 837 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: We're going next level. Now they're actually being typed and 838 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: not they flipped back and forth between typing it out 839 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: and writing it with a marker. Is Jamal Charles number 840 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: and pick in Fantasy next year? fIF no doubt about that. 841 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: And this is just been a phenomenal season. He's already 842 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: scored over three hundred Fantasy points. And when a running 843 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: back reaches that level, and that's a milestone. That's like 844 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 1: hitting rushing yards fifteen touchdowns. Jamal has been a beast 845 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: this season, you know. And I'll add to that. When 846 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: we talked about Jamal Charles being a number one pig, 847 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: I would like to have him as a one beat. 848 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: I think you could have Agent Peterson is a one 849 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: a in Jamal Charles as a one being. What I 850 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: mean by that is you don't have to be married 851 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: just to one guy as the number one guy. You 852 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: could alternate, so either one you could pick up the 853 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: number one spot. All right, So the last couple of years, 854 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: we saw Doug Martin put up fifty one points against 855 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Last year, Jamal Charles put up fifty one 856 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: points against the Raiders. This year, Nick Foles through for 857 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. I know you want to say, whoever's playing 858 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: the Raiders could be the next guy to get fifty point, 859 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: But give me a guy who do you think right 860 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: as the most capability of being a fifty point guy 861 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: With Shawn McCoy. If you look at some of the 862 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: games this season, he had a couple of opportunities that 863 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: seemed like where he could have gone out and scored 864 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: close to fifty points. But with the way the Eagles 865 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: offense is constructed, you know, it didn't work out quite 866 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: that way. But one of the most consistent running backs 867 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: and fantasy football, and of course Chip Kelly found a 868 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: way to use him, whereas Andy Reid did not. It's 869 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: funny because Andy Reid did not yank Jamal Charles the 870 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: way that he volleyball Lashawn McCoy back when he was 871 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: coaching the Eagles. Yeah, so it's nice for both guys. 872 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,479 Speaker 1: I think it's worth that's Peyton Manning, you know why 873 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: he plays the rators twice Petty man I'm going with 874 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and it's funny because we haven't seen the 875 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks putting up the big numbers and spend the running 876 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: backs who've gone over fifty Martin and now Jamal Charles. 877 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: But I'm going Peyton. You know, I'm gonna go to 878 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: the other position. I'm gonna go wide receiver and I'm 879 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: gonna go, say Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson could likely be 880 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: that with Matthew Stafford in that offense, they could put 881 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: up some big numbers and he could catch a defensive 882 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: back slip slip in one game, and go for fifty 883 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: just like that. Well he had what three plus in 884 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: one game or something. You can do it as gotta 885 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: stop getting tackled inside the five, which is what happens 886 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: to Calvin Johnson. Now the Fantasy Sophomore of the Year. 887 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: This is a fan vote. You guys voted for who 888 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: was going to be the best second year player, and 889 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: the nominees were Andrew Luck, Josh Gordon, and Russell Wilson. 890 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: Guys have all played very well this year. Fabs. Who's 891 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: your inside pick here? You think it's gonna win, It's 892 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: gotta be Josh Gordon. The guy missed the first two 893 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: games due to a suspension, and now he's tied with 894 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson for the most Fantasy points among wide receivers. 895 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: That's value right there. Wow, leave the local. Let's say 896 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: you're looking open it up here. I don't have a 897 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: sneaky suspicion for this one, you know, is Josh Gordon 898 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: with seventy four percent of the vote. It's kind of 899 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: tough to go against Josh Gordon, right because I think 900 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: think of what he's done with no matter who's playing quarterback. Yeah, 901 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of people either picked him up off 902 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 1: the waiver wire, drafted him really late in their fantasy drafts, 903 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: So as far as the value pick goes, hard to 904 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: argue there was anybody more value from later in the 905 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: draft or on the waiver wire than Josh Gordon. The 906 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: number two overall wide receiver gonna come off the board 907 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 1: next year, most likely in the second round behind Calvin Johnson. 908 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: Book spend some time with with the other nominees here. 909 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: You saw the two quarterbacks also nominated, Andrew Luck and 910 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Which quarterback would you rather have next season? 911 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: Fabs Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne will 912 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: be back. Hopefully they're going to improve that offensive line 913 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 1: in the off season through the draft. I'm going Luck. 914 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna go. Well, you know when 915 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: you talked about Andrew Luck, I think Andrew Luck is 916 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: so talented. I mean, we knew that when he was 917 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: coming out, and the fact that he can still He's 918 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: starting to make things happen even without his main go 919 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: to guys. You know, and he played with a new 920 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. You know, you're talking about guys like Alex 921 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: Smith who seemingly had this shift offensive coordinators each and 922 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: every season, Andrew Luck went through the same thing. Of 923 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: course he had familiarity with with him, but you know, 924 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: still he's making a change. So now he's gonna have 925 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: a second year in the same offense. He's gonna have 926 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: a haven. He still had a good season. There was 927 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: time that we were sweating him and being like, oh, 928 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: we don't know how to play this guy. He's still 929 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: finished fourth among quarterbacks for total points scored, So I 930 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: still probably have to highly consider them in that situation. 931 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: I do like Andrew Luck, but I think for me, 932 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: it's got to be Russell Wilson. When you think about 933 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and just his ability to make plays happen 934 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: with what I like to call tradition wide receivers. And 935 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: I know that some of the guys on the team 936 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: have called me out and say, oh, really, we're pedestrian 937 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers. But really, these guys are not elite wide receivers. 938 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: And yet and still Russell Wilson still finds a way 939 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: to get these guys the ball. They make it. They 940 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: get them the ball so they can go out there 941 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: and make plays. He gets them in strides what we 942 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: like to call it. But he also is making plays 943 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: with the speech, getting out on the outside edge of 944 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: the corner. And if you can get a quarterback that 945 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: can rush, that's a lot of fantasy point day. And 946 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: then we know he can call his number in the 947 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: in the red zone of Coniza, Sitney right called you 948 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,800 Speaker 1: and said that none of these guys call series. Okay, 949 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: I've got guys on the team. I've got guys on 950 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: the team who've told me some of the locker room 951 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: conversation that's like, look, I'm just being honest. Hell, I'm 952 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: going to tune in tomorrow for a special edition, a 953 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: total access and see if any of them are going 954 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. All right, I like that.
