4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: And you're you're under the weather right now right? You know?

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Last week we talked about like how it's cold in

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: the studios and everyone around here is getting sick. You've

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: got like week fifteen burnout, but for us it's like

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: week twenty because we've been going since the first week

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: of August. My my kid is sick and he got

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: my girlfriend sick, and I'm sick, and I'm trying here.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I just know I'm trying. Last week Graham was sick. Yeah,

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: you're sick. I don't. I don't like the way this

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: is trending. Uh if the if I'm starting to continues,

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Like I just you know, here's the This is the

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: first year I ever got the flu shot, and as

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: more and more people are dropping around me, the more

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: and more I'm starting to feel okay about that's it.

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't the fluids of a cold like

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: I had the sore throat thing a couple of nights ago,

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: and now that's kind of transitioned into like my throll

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: feels good, but it's dry, and I got the congestion

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: thing going on. But you know, I'm having a better

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: day than seven. But like in my but in my

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: in my head, like the flu shot is just an

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: all encompassing coody shot, like it just it kills everything.

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: So that's that, that is in my head. What what

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: is gonna well, you know what, We're not gonna be

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: holding the hands during the podcast. We're gonna be fine.

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: If you want to spray a force field of life,

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: go right ahead and actually like like a special cone

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: or something around on the other side of the glass,

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: insulated from all of our nastiness. It's our faithful producer

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: seen your Edward L. Murphy, Esquire Murphy. It's up. Yeah,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: IM protected a thick layer of glass over here to

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: keep FABS far. Luckily I was thinking of this before

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: because I told Fabs the walk over here. We had

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: two producers today in the podcast group. I had to

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: call out sick. I don't think I've called out sick

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: once yet, so I have three straight seasons here. I

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: can't knock like, I literally can't call out sick unless

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I am on death's door. You could just we we

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: could have skyped you in and from your bad out

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: of that. So Eddie, you're the You're the cal Ripken

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: iron Man. Yeah. I want to count with my days now.

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I want to sure pass um who is it? Luke Eric?

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: And then I gonna then pass uh the iron man? Yeah, man,

47
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: funny storry about that. This has nothing to do with fantasy.

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I remember the night, the night that Cal Ripken broke

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: Luke Garrig's record. I was in college and I remember

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: running home from class to wanting to see that game.

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: And we got home watching and then like in the

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: second or third inning, the cable went out. Oh no,

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: cable went out, like all over campus. People are like

54
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: freaking out, like what the hell is going on? It

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: comes back like in the eighth So we missed. We

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: missed them changing the number. We missed his home run

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and like the home run try, we missed all of

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: it because the stupid cable went out for like a

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: good hour and a half. So this is similar to

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: that uh Giants bills a date? Were you you were?

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: You were around back in nineteen one? Right, I was

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: just old ball, right, so right? So the Norwood kick

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, Um, everyone in my street was all Giants

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: fans back in Connecticut. End of the game, Norwood's lining

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: up for the field goal and the power goes out.

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I hear my whole neighborhood screaming and everyone running outside

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: of their cars to put it on their radio. And

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: at that point and he already it. So that just

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: reminded me of that. Yeah, you want to talk about

70
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: bad timing, especially if you're Giants are a Bills fans

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: well speaking a bad time and we got a lot

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: of injuries to talk about. Is we are headlong into

73
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs, so we'll get to some of that,

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: and of course we will get to the preview of

75
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: all the games going on this week, minus of course

76
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game which is about to happen, probably

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: will be happening, probably will be over by the time

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: some of you listen to this podcast. Um, but I

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: also we'll have Eddie's delirious pick. We'll get some of

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: your questions as well. But first let's do some news.

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Who was a surprise scratch last week,

82
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: that news popping up on Saturday that all of a sudden,

83
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: oh b J was ruled out because of a quad injury,

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: says he feels much better. Is considered day today had

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: an outside medical team look at his quad. I mean,

86
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: it's a simple question, would be J is gone. I mean,

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: do you trust Sterling Shepherd, Russell Shepherd, Shepherd of a flock?

88
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: I mean, like anybody else not named say Kwan that

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: you can trust in that offense? Us No, I mean,

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: if ob J doesn't go, Shepherd's a potential volume based

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: flex starter for me. Evan Ingram because the tight end

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: position is a wreck, so Evan Ingram could potentially be

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: a guy that you're starting as well. That might be

94
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: about it. Oh, b J, that that hurt me. Last

95
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: week I had to play Tyler Lockett over o b J,

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: thinking okay, it's not terrible, and then Lockett goes on

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: to have his worst game in a while and I

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: lose by one point. I think nine points. That's the

99
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: worst I'd rather get crushed. I'd rather lose by a hundred,

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: like Ian Rappaport did when he buzz. I mean that

101
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: lose by like less than two. Ian ran into with

102
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry mar Mark Grouper. That's that's just the buzz

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: that's when you're like, dude, I'm just quit in fantasy.

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: It just wasn't my week. You know the thing about

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: O b J last week, because I remember seeing the

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: tweet on Saturday, maybe mid morning or something like that,

107
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: that that he wasn't going to play, And I sort

108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: of had a mini freak out, like did I miss

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: something during the week? Did I not see him? Like

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I went back and I checked the old injury reports

111
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: and no, he hadn't been there. Just something that just

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: flared up all of a sudden, weird, worst timing ever

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings. After they had an awful, awful offensive game

114
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, losing to the Seattle Seahawks, they

115
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: fired their offensive coordinator John d. Filippo, and it replaced

116
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: him with her quarterbacks coach. So should we be excited now?

117
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Should we feel more confident in Kirk Cousins? I mean,

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: what does this mean at this point? Regardless of who

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: the OC was gonna be going into this game, I'm

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: gonna like Cousins because it's the Dolphins. Their defense has

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: been bad against quarterbacks basically since Week ten, and we've

122
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: seen this before. New coach, new coordinator, start of jump starts,

123
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the team, the offense in this case, you know, Aaron

124
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers last week had a pretty good game. So Cousins,

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: I can't get over how bad he's been. Like I

126
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: I didn't love him against Seattle. I thought he was

127
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: like a decent back end QB one. That whole game

128
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: was just a train roll over the for for most

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: fantasy owners outside of Carson and Dalvin Cook. But I'd

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: fire him up this week. The Vikings are a team

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: that they need to start stepping up, but they're gonna

132
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: be gone sooner than later. So they they, uh, they're

133
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna need Cousins to to put up a

134
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: good line. And it's a home game. The Dolphins defense

135
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been very good. Uh, Xavian Howard's banged up to

136
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: so I mean that's just gonna benefit Minnesota's pass catchers

137
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean, Kirk Cousins has not been

138
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: the guy that I think we expect, no, not at

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: all to be. He's right now, just he's outside the

140
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: top ten. He's QB thirteen as we sit here and

141
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: record this podcast, and it just, you know, it just

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: has not been what we thought think the first couple

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: of weeks he scored twenty points in week one, thirty

144
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: three in week two, he had thirty one in Week four,

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: and really it's been all downhill since then. I mean,

146
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: he had one good game in Week twelve against the

147
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Packers where he scored twenty seven, but that really has

148
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of been it. He has generally underwhelmed. Ravens have

149
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: picked Lamar Jackson over Joe Flacco to be their starter

150
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: in you know, it's not we're rejoicing, understandably, but it

151
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't really be a huge surprise, right, And the Ravens

152
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: have been playing better football. Uh, they did lose last week,

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: but it was a close loss in overtime to the

154
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs in which Lamar Jackson played well. It just seemed

155
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: like it was only a matter of time before this happened.

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: And so now for the rest of us, we can

157
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: stop fretting about whether or not Joe Flacco is going

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: to take away our new favorite fantasy toy. Yeah, and

159
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: Jackson's got a really good matchup the Buccaneers. Are you know,

160
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, last week Saints they were tough,

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: and they have one of those weird trends this season

162
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: where they're they're not as bad at home this they

163
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: are on the road. But when you look at the

164
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: matchup and you look at Lamar Jackson, you're looking at

165
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: the rushing stats and the passing stats, and the Buccaneers

166
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: have been awful against home running backs this season. Lamar Jackson,

167
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: for all intensive purposes, as a running back who throws

168
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: the football about seventeen times a game, So I fire

169
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: him up. I like him this week, I really do.

170
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Flacco is going to be any

171
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: threat to Lamar Jackson. He's clearly got the confident of

172
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: his of his head coach John Harbaugh there, so I

173
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: still don't like his wide receivers. Yeah, but I like

174
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Well. It was nice to see John Brown

175
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: score a touchdown last week and gave me a little

176
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: bit of hope that maybe there's something there that you know,

177
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: I think we've seen every week Jackson looked a little

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: more comfortable throwing the football. So maybe what we saw

179
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: last week is is good news. And as you mentioned,

180
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: a matchup with the Bucks hopefully opened some things up

181
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: and maybe John Brown at least is back in our lives.

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm willing to take this step

183
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: toward Michael Crabtree or Willie Snead. It's averaging four and

184
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: a half targets a game since week eleven. I mean,

185
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: I'm not living on that. That's that's that's a hard way.

186
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: It is a tough way to live. Uh. Carson Wentz

187
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: not expected to play this week against the Rams. There

188
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: is talk that he may be shut down for the

189
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: season as he's dealing with a back injury. Fractured Vertibal dude.

190
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: So many big name players like injuries. You know, then,

191
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Kareem Han, it's been tough. It's been tough. You're going

192
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: into a week here in Week fifteen, where we're gonna

193
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: be relying on some guys who were on the waiver

194
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: wire as as recently as a week ago, and in

195
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: some cases as recently as like two days ago, when

196
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: we're talking about like Damian Williams and in those types,

197
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in a situation where you've got Nick

198
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: Foles Josh Johnson among your starting quarterbacks here in key playoff.

199
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: It is it's unreal. And in terms of Wentz, now

200
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: you say, well, Nick Foles, here's the super Bowl hero.

201
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. I look back at what

202
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: he did in the first two games of the season

203
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: when Wentz was out, he stunk okay, and he played

204
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons and the Bucks to the worst defenses in

205
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: the league. And Knowles Uh Nick Foles, I believe his

206
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: his average Fantasy points per game in those contests was like,

207
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, thirteen. It was bad. It was really bad.

208
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: So I'm concerned about every Eagle not named Zach Hurts.

209
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: I really am. All Shuton's coming off a big game

210
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, I still don't believe in him. Golden

211
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: Tate's coming off a stinker. I didn't believe in him before.

212
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I think Marcus picked the only good game Golden Tate had.

213
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Josh Adams is starting to see his numbers drop over

214
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the last two or three weeks. I don't trust any

215
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: of these Eagles. I really don't, unless unless the name

216
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: on the back of the jersey as arts. I don't. Yeah,

217
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: it's I don't know where that offense is gone. It

218
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: just it has completely fallen apart, and this is certainly

219
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: not going to help it. Ye Ben Roethlisberger expects that

220
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: he will play in This narrative has been setting up

221
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: since the end of the last week when he left

222
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: the game, Uh, he went for x rays in the

223
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: locker room, and you know, the story this week is

224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: that because the X ray equipment is old, they couldn't

225
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what was wrong. But he comes back

226
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: at the end after the Raiders take a lead, tries

227
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: to bring the Steelers back. It doesn't happen. But this

228
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: was just all setting up for this week where we

229
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: knew we'd hear about Ben's ribs and how bad they are.

230
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: But he's going to come out and try to Willis

231
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: read it, I guess against the New England Patriots, So

232
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's all systems go for Ben

233
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: Steelers this week. They should be a high scoring game.

234
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots have given up with fourteen touchdowns over twenty

235
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: one points a game to home Quarterbacks, home game for

236
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Big Bend. Although it hasn't mattered this much this season,

237
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: he's been good regardless of where he's played. You're firing

238
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: up your Patriots, you're starting your Steelers, and you're going

239
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: to enjoy the fantasy point production because there's gonna be

240
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot of it. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's

241
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: just this happens at least what twice a year with

242
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger, right where something happens and something hurts and

243
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: you know we all hear about it during the weekend.

244
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Then it comes out any throws for like three fifty

245
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns and it's all good and you know,

246
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: just a big Ben thing to do and Ben been

247
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: as a hero. So there you go. That is pretty

248
00:12:45,320 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: much everything you need to know. It's the week fifteen preview.

249
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: It is as as our pile Matt Money Matt Money

250
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: Smith would say, it's not cutting time. Uh, this is

251
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: this is going to either propel you to a fantasy

252
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: championship birth or if you wondering about what went wrong

253
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: and getting ready for next year. So we'll start with

254
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the Sexans and the Jets. Jets defense, run defense, at

255
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: least it's pretty good. So can we feel confident with

256
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller this? I'm sticking with him? How can you not?

257
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys rushed for over a hundred yards

258
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: and what three of his last six games he's had

259
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: actually four of his last seven, he's had double digit

260
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: fantasy points in four straight games and in six of

261
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: his last seven games, and last week even against the Colts,

262
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: only rushed for thirty three yards, but he still gave

263
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: you a sixteen point two fantasy points because of the

264
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: fact that he got into the end zone catching some

265
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: passes out of the backfield. Running Back is a very

266
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: difficult position to fill right now, especially with all the injuries,

267
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: So Lamar Miller is at least, I mean, at the

268
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: very least, he's a flex for me. You know, it's

269
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: weird because we came into this season, at least I

270
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: came into this season looking at Lamar Miller and being like, yeah,

271
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I know, there was sort of this

272
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: ground swell of talk about Lamar Miller being being a

273
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: decent RB two, and you know, there was a lot

274
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot of articles written in podcasts and

275
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: things talking about how Lamar Miller maybe is better than

276
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: you expected. But I think even for the most optimistic

277
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller stands out there, even they would say this

278
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: is probably a bigger season than they would have guessed. Yeah,

279
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: but I mean, I mean he kind of stuck in

280
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: the beginning, Like there was one of my leagues he

281
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: was in he got cut, believe it or not. So

282
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: it's been more of a second half surge for Lamar Miller,

283
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: and it's coming a good time. Yeah, well I think

284
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: we also were worried this whole time that Deonta Foreman

285
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: was going to come back, and yeah, but so far

286
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: that has that happened. So would you trust either Elijah

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: McGuire or Chris Herndon against this Texans? So we already

288
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: know that Isaaia Coroil is out and if Volumes is

289
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: king in fantasy football, then Elijah McGuire is a guy

290
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: that you can put in as a flex starter. Then

291
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: matchup is not great, But again it's all about volume.

292
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: We're looking for guys who are going to touch the football.

293
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Elijah maguire touched the football quite a bit last week

294
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: in Carol's absence. Now keep tabs on McGuire's status because

295
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: he was a little bit banged up, but it looks

296
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: like he's going to be fine this week. I believe

297
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: he was taken off the Jets Angrew reports, so he

298
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: should be a go. In terms of Chris Herndon, why not?

299
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean because point, because I mean at this point,

300
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: and you know, the Texas haven't been all that good

301
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: against tight end, so right now, like I'd start Chris

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Herndon over Jimmy Graham for for example, i'd probably start

303
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: him over Trey Burton too. Hey, I mean you're a

304
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: you're a functional tight end with working arms and legs

305
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: and hands, then you got a shot to be in

306
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: somebody's line up somewhere, because that's just that's just where

307
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: we are with the tight end position. Brown's at Broncos. Uh,

308
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: the Bronco defense. They're sort of the middle of the road,

309
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: right They're not. They're not the same lockdown group that

310
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: we saw a few years ago when they want a

311
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But they're okay. So that said, what do

312
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: you expect from Baker Mayfield and or Nick Chubb? Well,

313
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb does not leave my lineup ever. The dude

314
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: is he's been a league winner ever since he got

315
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: that starting job. He's tremendous. Keep him in your lineup.

316
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: Mayfield's a matchup based guy, and you've got a road game.

317
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Broncos not the same Bronchos that we've all come to

318
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: know and love and fear in the past. They can

319
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: still be had. So I would say that Mayfield is

320
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: sort of a back end QB one or a high

321
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: end QB two. This week. Um, yeah, you know, I

322
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: look at the Chub and I love the volume, right,

323
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he gets the ball a

324
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: ton in this offense. The only thing that worries me,

325
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: and I guess it's kind of a minor things that

326
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos generally don't give up rushing touchdowns. I think

327
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: they've given up maybe nine this year. It's not a

328
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: whole lot, and so that's one thing that worries me.

329
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: But I think that he touches. I think the yards

330
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that he will catch a handful of

331
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: passes makes him at least worth a start. I just

332
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, if he gets in the end zone, then

333
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: that that ends up being a bonus. Uh. Core Sutton.

334
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: We were all about Courtland Sutton last week, right, We

335
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: thought this is this is the Cortland Sutton breakout week.

336
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. It did not happen, and of

337
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: course it was. It was Dashawn Hamilton's with a little

338
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: bit of Tim Patrick sprinkled in there for a good measure.

339
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: So do we trust Courtland Sutton this week? Not? I

340
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: mean I don't trust Broncos that are Philip Lindsay, to

341
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, and so you know I

342
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: said this on television earlier today if you look at

343
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: case Keenum in the last two years. Last year, Adam

344
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: Feeling favorite target slot receiver, this year, Emmanuel Sander's favorite

345
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: target slot receiver. Sanders goes down first game without um

346
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: keenham favorite target slot receiver Sean Hamilton's. There is a

347
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: trend there, Marcus. So I'm not saying I'd go out

348
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: and and pick up Hamilton's and turn him into a

349
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: must start, but hey, uh, when a quarterback hasn't trying

350
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: to throw into too his slot guys, and Hamilton's out

351
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: there seeing a high percentage of those snaps, uh, he

352
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: is certainly gonna be on my radar. But I mean,

353
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: like now you've got, like, I mean, Sutton clearly has

354
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: the best upside because he's the big talent, a guy

355
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: who is going to be a breakout candidate on every

356
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy analyst list for nineteen. But the floor is kind

357
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: of low. The floor is kind of low with these guys. Yeah,

358
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about next year and him being

359
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: a breakout candidate too. I think so much of it

360
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: is going to depend on what the Broncos do with

361
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: their quarterback position, because you know, if one thing we've

362
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: learned is that what we saw from case Keeno last season.

363
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: It just felt like lightning at a bottle that he

364
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: had that breakout year, but it just didn't seem sustainable.

365
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: And this year has sort of reminded us why case

366
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: Keenum has been a journeyman throughout his career. And hopefully

367
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: bar Bosja b Emil is not listening to this because

368
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: then he will down the door and he's in Beverly

369
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: Hills at the Ritz Carlton doing something like a book

370
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: signing or something. By the way, at Bars book is

371
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: out on Amazon right now for pre sale, so go

372
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: out and get it. We get like hot bars demand

373
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: we get like a free copy of this or something

374
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: like that, or we get something because if I don't,

375
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm not promoting this book anything. I mean, like literally

376
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: like we were, we work with you, Bar, give us

377
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: a copy of your book. He'll hook us up. He'll

378
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: hook us up, all right, Packers at Bears, we talked

379
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about, you know, the offensive coordinator change

380
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy that there Joe Phil been taking over, and

381
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: last week the Packers offense came to life. The question

382
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: is how much of that was the coaching change, how

383
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: much of that was the fact that the Falcons are

384
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: just dreadful on defense. Now they have a legitimate test

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: with the Bears, a huge game, especially for Chicago at

386
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. I'd say it's gonna be cold, which it

387
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: probably will be. But we're talking about the Packers, so whatever, Um,

388
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: how many Packers would you trust in your lineup? Maybe

389
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: even Aaron Rodgers included, like how many? So like Adams is?

390
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: I don't care Adams? Okay, Jones, I mean, for the

391
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: most part, don't care because most people play in the

392
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: league's with flexes, so at the worst, he's a flex. Right.

393
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. The NFL is ridiculously unpredictable. It is.

394
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean, dude. The Bears lost to the Giants a

395
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, okay, and I get it. Their

396
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: quarterback was was out, but Trabisky looked like garbage. Okay,

397
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: last week he was bad, and I don't know if

398
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent or not. I would not be

399
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: surprised in a NFC North rivalry game that the Bears

400
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: let down and Aaron Rodgers goes into Soldier Field and

401
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: beats them, because what would Aaron Rodgers want more than

402
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: anything else? And what's really been a lost season for

403
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: the Packers. Go in there and beat the damn Bears,

404
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: right like he did in Week one on one leg.

405
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying I love Aaron Rodgers. Guys, I listen,

406
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't have them in my top ten this week.

407
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: I think I haven't between twelve and fourteen somewhere and

408
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: there among quarterbacks. But dude, nothing would surprise me. Man.

409
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if the Packers went in

410
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: there and gave the Bears headaches. Okay, this is the

411
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: same Bears defense that gave up a whole lot of

412
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: points to the Giants, and the Giants stink. Okay, I

413
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: mean I get it to quarterback one there, but the

414
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: defense was still intact. So don't be surprised if Rodgers

415
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: goes in there and toss us to three touch down

416
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: passes and gives you twenty fantasy points of the game.

417
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: Just it's called football, all right, It's called football. But

418
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: I would I would start on the Bear side. Think

419
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: about it. I may trust more Packers than I trust

420
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: Bears outside of the defense. Uh, Cohen, That's about it

421
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: for me. That's about it. That's about it, Allen Robinson,

422
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: than Dobby hadn't done anything for most of the season.

423
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: You can't trust Trey Burton anymore. Uh, he was like

424
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: about one of the big flos. We all liked him. Yeah,

425
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean lately, I mean he's he's gone, He's he's

426
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: gone and just done a Houdini act on us. But

427
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: so that means you're in nay on Mitchell Trubisky this

428
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: week he's outside of my top ten. He's so like,

429
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: I think he's outside of my top twelve. Two. I'd

430
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: rather start Rodgers than Troubisky. Call me crazy. I like

431
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: big names. I get it. Cowboys, Jake's Lakers make fun

432
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: of me all you want. I just like Rogers better

433
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I mean I I definitely like Rogers

434
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: better this week. Um, just because Trubisky he had he

435
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: turns the ball over a lot, which is a bad

436
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: thing obviously. Uh So that that's the one thing that

437
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: makes me nervous. Yeah, that's the thing. So, like I

438
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: was having this discussion before the show, and I'm thinking, Okay,

439
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: Cowboys Bears. I obviously want the Cowboys to get the

440
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: three seed, but the Cowboys and the Bears like both

441
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: great defenses. The Bears, the elite defensive in the league,

442
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: but their quarterbacks make mistakes. Doc, he gave me three

443
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: coroneries last week. And with those interceptions and overthrows and

444
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: Rabinsky looked like garbage. So we'll see I mean, Trabinsky,

445
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: there's a pig six, turns the ball over a couple

446
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: of times. Suddenly the Packers win the game. You never know. Yeah,

447
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: we'll see Lions at Bills. So Josh Allen and the Bills,

448
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: they turned the ball over a lot. And you know,

449
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: I know that Josh Allen has he has run for

450
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: all kind of yards and and what have you. But

451
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: would you start the Lions defense? I like how you

452
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: say that. I mean like, I like how I like

453
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: Eddie He's like, I mean, so NFL dot Com standard

454
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: scoring UM. Over the last four games, defenses have scored

455
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: six fantasy points a game against the Bills, which would

456
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: be the most good It's not good. Um, I don't know, man,

457
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Like I guess there, I mean, there's certainly a streamable option,

458
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: but we also have to look at like what the

459
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: what defenses have done against the Bills lately when Josh

460
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Allen has returned. Remember some of the games were against

461
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but Josh Allen earlier in the season in Minnesota,

462
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings were supposed to be a great start. I stunk, okay,

463
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: and then you had the Nathan Peterman thing, and then

464
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: you had the Derrick Anderson thing. So yeah, that inflated.

465
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: How good a matchup the Bill's offenses against fantasy defenses. So, like,

466
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Lions are in my top twelve.

467
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: It's the Lions, And I'm afraid I have fear of

468
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: teams at this point in the season. They have nothing

469
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: to play for, I really do. Man, Like, like, the

470
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Sea Hawks are are a better play for me, no

471
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: question about that. The Vikings are a better play for me. Um,

472
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: there's there's other options out there. I mean the Jaguars.

473
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I just said I'm afraid of play,

474
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: but I mean they're playing against the FOURD string quarterback

475
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: for the Redskins. Yeah, well that's so, I mean in

476
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: that case, which is the Ways, But like, so I

477
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: I could see doing it. I can see this, I

478
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: can see the thought behind it. So I mean, I mean,

479
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: I I came up with that one because I really

480
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: couldn't think of anything else. There was nobody else on

481
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: this lion offense that Holiday though, like everyone's been starting

482
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: him and he is falling down. I mean, it's just like, right,

483
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Kimmy Golladay is suffering from the

484
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: same thing Tyler Boyd is is that suddenly he's the

485
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: only thing in that passing game right now. So if

486
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: you're a defense, like, hey, well let's just take that

487
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: guy away and things get a little bit better. So

488
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: I think Holiday is suffering from that. Like, you know,

489
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like la Garrett Blunt because

490
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty zact centered last week, you know, I don't

491
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: think Carrie on Johnson's coming, which a by the way,

492
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: I getting a lot of questions about, hey, what happens

493
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: if carry On comes back, And I'm like, I've seen

494
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: no indication that Kerry on Johnson he might be done.

495
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's maybe shutting him down. There's very little

496
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: point of bringing him back. Theol Riddick, no Zac Sentner,

497
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: no Lagarrette Blunt, no t J. Jones, no Michael roberts

498
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: is on I R. Levine, toy Lolo, no Matthew Stafford no.

499
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just nothing there in Detroit right now. Yeah,

500
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: I gotta check my lad up here in Melvin Gordon

501
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: is not gonna play. Yeah, that's apparently Jackson, which not

502
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: a surprise but disappearently official. Uh so, Josh Allen, why not?

503
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: And he do it again now as much as we

504
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: this is a dude who's average like twenty five Fantasy

505
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: points in the last three weeks. Have you can you

506
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: remember a quarterback who's averaged that many points during a

507
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: decent stretch of games, And we still don't trust him

508
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: right there? Still trust him. He's been better than like

509
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: everybody because the thing he's doing it's not I know,

510
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: like I think I saw something and I know I'm

511
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna butcher this. But basically, Lamar Jackson, you look at

512
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: his rushing yards and the vast majority of them have

513
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: come on scripted runs and very few on scrambles. Josh

514
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Allen was the complete opposite. Were by think like eighty

515
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: of his yards are on like planned, designed runs and

516
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: about four hundred and some of them are on scrambles.

517
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: It's just like it just doesn't feel sustainable and he's

518
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: not giving you enough as a passer to feel comfortable,

519
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: like like if if somehow this week he gets held

520
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: to like fifty rushing yards and no touchdowns. Yeah, he

521
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: turns the ball over to like you said, turns the

522
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: ball over. It's just nothing there. Here's what's bananas, right,

523
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks, uh Mahomes won, Josh Allen too wild

524
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: and then Derek Carr three, Jamis Winson for Nick Mullins,

525
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill all in the top ten. Just why over

526
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. But I mean, like, if I'm

527
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: in a super flex league, heck, yeah, dude, I'm chair.

528
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: If I'm in a two QB league, yeah man, I'm

529
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: gonna jump in. But in a standard league, and you

530
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: know what, he might score twenty five again, and Marcus

531
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: and I will be left with our faces. And I

532
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: don't feel bad about to because that's because the alternative is.

533
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: The alternative is like eight. Yeah, I mean I still

534
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: think the floor is low. It's really really low. He

535
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: just has been more closer to the ceiling bucks at Ravens.

536
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: So any books he would start this week, so not Jamis.

537
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess people are going to have to

538
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: start my Kevins, I guess, but you'll have to like it,

539
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: I know, not Peyton Barber, not Chris Godwin. What about

540
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Adam Humphriese. That dude has been fire. He is, he's

541
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: been fired the last like five or six weeks. He's

542
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: like Julian Edelman light you know what I'm saying, Like

543
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: he gets catches that you know, they're they're very rarely.

544
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: Is going to put up a big yardage number and

545
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: every once in a while, who'll get in the end

546
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: zone until like for PPR PBR standards, like hey, it's

547
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna be great like for standard leagues. I don't think

548
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: I would start him. Yeah, no, agreed, last four weeks

549
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: though he's got more Fantasy points than uh, I mean

550
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: he is there, yeah, Michael Tom these Saints have so yeah,

551
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of bucks to like in this game.

552
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: And on the flip side, so we talked about the

553
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: Ravens wide receivers crips. So you're you're already said you're

554
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: sort of not on board. You tell me because I've

555
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: I've seen the numbers and over the last four weeks,

556
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: Gus Edward just leads the backfield and snaps and touches,

557
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: although he doesn't really catch the ball out of the the backfield.

558
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: But Kenneth Dixon put a pretty decent Dent and it

559
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: was touches last week. Who do you like more this week?

560
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: Because the Buccaneers have given up more fantasy place the

561
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: home running backs than any team in the league. So

562
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna have a good game. Who's gonna be? I

563
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: feel like Kenneth Dixon this week too, And I've sort

564
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: of been on the Kenneth Dixon bus for the last

565
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and I'm I'm staying there because he

566
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: is starting to get more work and he is starting

567
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: to get an expanded role. And let's not I mean,

568
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: the the Ravens have a familiarity with Kenneth Dixon and

569
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: he has a familiarity with them. I mean, so I just, yeah,

570
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: I think both of those guys are decent plays this

571
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: week against Tampa. But I have fear, you know, if

572
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: I had the situation of throwing Kno Dixon in my

573
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: flex spot and letting the dice fall where they may.

574
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. This week Cardinals at Falcons?

575
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Is this the David Johnson week? Dude? You would think

576
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: keep saying that. We keep asking this one day. Remember

577
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: how happy we were when left Which took over and

578
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: David Johnson started to put up some numbers and we

579
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: were all happy. We were all it was like Christmas morning,

580
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the numbers started to sink,

581
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: and we didn't really talk about it that much. But

582
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: over the last four games, he's given you two sub

583
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: ten point games in PPR leagues, hadn't scored more than

584
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: sixteen point four points. And this is a great matchup.

585
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: But he had a great matchup last week against Detroit,

586
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: couldn't exploit it. He had a great matchup two weeks

587
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: ago against Green Bay. Couldn't exploit it. I mean, the

588
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: Chargers are not good against the run. Couldn't get it

589
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: done because they get games. He got game scripted out

590
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: of that one Oakland before that sixteen point four. So

591
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing them, you don't have to necessarily

592
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: like it. It's a good matchup, but you've also got

593
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the threat of Josh Rosen throwing pick six is turning

594
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: the ball over. Atlanta gets a big lead, Arizona's got

595
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: a resort to throwing the football. David Johnson doesn't touch

596
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: it enough. Where are you, Bruce arians come back, come

597
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: back into our lives, because because there was a situation

598
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: where even when the game's kind of got out of

599
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: hand before because Johnson lined up in the slot because

600
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: he would line about why he never came off the

601
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: field and it didn't matter. He was game script proof

602
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: because of how they used him. And it's like, literally,

603
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: I just want I just want somebody to take Byron

604
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Leftwich and Mike McCoy before him and just sort of

605
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: like a clockwork orange, just strapped into a chair, hold

606
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: their eyes open and make them watch film from sixteen

607
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: when David Johnson was great and and like just just

608
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: drill into them, like how to you whose this guy?

609
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Because he's just he's wasted away this year. It's gonna

610
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: be funny in twenty nineteen drafts. He's not gonna be

611
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: a first round pick and he's gonna blow up. Next

612
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: year they'll probably a second or third round pick and

613
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go nuts and they'll figure out how to

614
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: use it to go nuts. I don't know who is

615
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: gonna be. Maybe he'll continue to be left which and

616
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna go nuts and a whole bunch of people

617
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: will get a steal. Yes that because because fantasy fall,

618
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: because that's just how it works. Uh Okay, on a

619
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: maybe a deeper level. Is this maybe a Tevin Coleman week?

620
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean the matchup is great, right, it's great, right,

621
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: you know Smith was better last week. And that's the

622
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: one thing that concerns me with Coleman is that edo

623
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: Smith has been digging into his touches. That dude I

624
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: forgot about. Yeah, So, like, I mean, flex at best

625
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: for me because the matchup is good. But Coleman's like

626
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: just I mean the last three or four weeks, his

627
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: numbers have tanked ever since he had that he had

628
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: that giant game I think it was against the Redskins

629
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: where he just had like thirty two points. Ever since

630
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: then slowly just declining, declining, declining, to the point now

631
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: where it's really hard to trust him. Man, everything was

632
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be so much better for him when Devonte

633
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: Freeman went on I R but I know that you

634
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: know that's so we talked about Golladay, you know, Marvin

635
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Jones and then and and Golden Tate traded uh A. J.

636
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Green goes out, Oh, Tyler Boyd's gonna see a lot

637
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: of his numbers have just they've they've gone down. And

638
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: then Tevin Coleman, I mean he's had a couple of

639
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: good games, but I missed DeVonta Freeman. I mean, it

640
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: just it was so that that that pairing worked better

641
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: together than with Tevin. It's funny to think because a

642
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: couple years ago Tevin Coleman was supposed to be the

643
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: leonh Yeah, you know, do you like Matt Ryan? I

644
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: feel like Matt Ryan's one of those guys that it's

645
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: hard to sit. But I feel like the range of

646
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: outcomes is so wide for him, right, Like the ceiling

647
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: is potentially pretty high. Like I could see him. I

648
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: can see him going out there and putting up like

649
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: twenty five. I could see him going out there and

650
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: putting up like nine. Like just been tough on quarterbacks too.

651
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: So see Raiders at Bengals, Doug Martin, Yeah your nay,

652
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, okay. I mean Bengals they're

653
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: they're they're bad, dude. Every running back lately, both the

654
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Saints running backs Philip Lindz, they may don't matter. I mean,

655
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: they are getting crushed every single week on the ground.

656
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he's an RB one. I'm not

657
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: saying he's an RB two. I am saying he's a

658
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: flex starter and uh, he might be the only Raider

659
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: I I trust this week. Although Derek Carr does have

660
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: a good matchup two, I don't really trust any of

661
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: the Wider receivers at that correct me. Jared Cooke too

662
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: has been pretty good, So I trust Cook. I trust

663
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: Doug Martin a little bit to a lesser degree. And

664
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: then if you're in a two QB league, Derek Carr, although,

665
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean last week, you know, I mean the Bengals

666
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: defense wasn't all that bad. No, it wasn't terrible, So um,

667
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: you know that Derek Carr just scared the thing about

668
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: that the Raiders the last couple of weeks is that

669
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: they've been hanging around in games. I mean, they got

670
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: the win and Steelers last week. They gave the Chiefs

671
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: all that they wanted the week before that and made

672
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: that really tough. So, I mean, part of the fear

673
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: had been with the running backs is that they were

674
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: getting games scripted out, like at halftime, the Raiders are

675
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: getting blown out, they weren't coming back, and so you know,

676
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: guys like Marshawn Lynch and Jaylen Rochard and even Doug

677
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: Martin just were irrelevant with the Raiders staying close in games.

678
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: That means Doug Martin gets to be relevant into the

679
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: third and fourth quarters, and that that's kind of a change,

680
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: and that that I think makes it more encouraging than

681
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: anything else in that offense. Um, So we've talked about

682
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd a little bit, but he's playing the Raiders

683
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: this week. So does this mean you can go back

684
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: to him? No, I mean you started volume. I mean

685
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: flex starter at best. Like I'm not. I'm not gonna

686
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: go out and tell you that you know, this guy

687
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: needs to be uh in your lineup. He's of must start.

688
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's not the case, but based on the matchup,

689
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: based on the fact that he should lead the Bengals

690
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: in targets, I think he's worth a look. You know,

691
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: it's worth a look this week for the desperate and

692
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: and and the lonely. I say, John Ross, no c

693
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: j U some yeah, be hey, dude, listen, man, it's

694
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: tough sledding out there at tight end. And this guy,

695
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's playing in one of the best

696
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: matchups among tight ends this week. I mean the Raiders

697
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: are bad a lot against against almost everything, running backs, quarterbacks,

698
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: wider receivers, but they're bad against tight end, so he's

699
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: out there on the waiver wire if you're really desperate.

700
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: I mean, could this end up being a Jerry Cook

701
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: v c j Usama game. That would be wild, That

702
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: would be really really wild. Titans at the Giants. So

703
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: obviously Derrick Henry was the best thing going on two

704
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: legs last week. Uh, And now everybody's like, oh man,

705
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: I should have played Derrick Henry. This feels like we're

706
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: just set up for some disappointment this week. Yeah yeah,

707
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: I know, but like the matchups good, right, Giants ten

708
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, give it up the eighth most points to

709
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: running backs this season, and maybe the Titans are kind

710
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: of figuring maybe we want to start using that smash

711
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: mouth offense. I mean, you mentioned this all the time.

712
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: He's he was here, I believe his rookie year, right

713
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: right before he got drafted down. Dude is a monstrosity.

714
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: He's gigantic, Like, I mean, I don't know how you

715
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: tackle the guy, and the Jaguars couldn't figure that out

716
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: either because he ran all over him. But flex starter,

717
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: I'm not getting super excited where I'm thinking, oh man,

718
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: RB one No, but the matchups there and if the

719
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: touches are there, He's not going to catch the ball,

720
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: but if he's getting enough carries, and he has seen

721
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: his touches increase over the last three or four weeks.

722
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: I think he's in the flex starter conversation. One thing

723
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, for sher Marcus, when they get down near

724
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: the near the goal line, he'd get in the football. Yeah,

725
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing, you know. And it's funny

726
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: because he's sort of made Leon Lewis irrelevant. You know.

727
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Leon Lewis was the guy that we were all counting

728
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: on for weeks and Derrick Henry has sort of pushed

729
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: him to the background in the last few weeks of

730
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: what done. Yeah, Derrick Henry has been the better of

731
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: the two. Henry's uh, if you're talking about Derrick Henry

732
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry's right, well, yeah, that's because I mean, well,

733
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry's looked good. You know. The matchup though this

734
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: week against Derrick Johnson, that's that's that's a tough one.

735
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: He that's a tough one. Hunter Henry is in Kansas

736
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: City tonight. He is on the public publish man, but

737
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: he has been photographed working out on the field at

738
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium so he is there. Uh. I do have

739
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: to I do have to thank Stephen A. Smith though,

740
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: because he gave me a good chuckle today because I

741
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: feel like crap. And today's show was it was. It

742
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: was a rough one, folks. Let's put it that away.

743
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: Everyone's either sick or you know whatever. Uh that that

744
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: that was? That was interesting when when I saw Jake

745
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Jake Ceey our pal who had who had tweeted it out,

746
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, was this from like this week? Or

747
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: was like was this from like two years ago? Like?

748
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: What what was this from? That was this morning? That

749
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: was this morning. I don't know how you move on

750
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: from that. Uh. Well, but I'll tell you one thing.

751
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: I rather did the show tomorrow. I'd rather catch Steve Cash,

752
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith's checked in mine. It will be faded

753
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: away with the news cycle and we will be pointing

754
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: and laughing at something. But it was funny, like at

755
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: one point today the three things that we're trending the

756
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: most on my Twitter feed Hunter, Henry Trick Johnson, and

757
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Oh good Man. Stephen Ay more than anything else,

758
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: wanted there to be like a huge signing in baseball.

759
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: So his kind of you know, his whole deal with

760
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Well went away, but it didn't know although it would

761
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: be funny if if Antonio Gates scores a touchdown that night,

762
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: then that that will be Yeah. So we talked a

763
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: little bit about Odell Beckham and his injury and what

764
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: his situation is going to be. So we are not

765
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: starting any other wide receivers. No, I mean if Poby

766
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: j Is out, then I mean Angram becomes a tight

767
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: end one, I'll be at a risk reward one. And

768
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: I think Shepard still gets uh the flex starter treatment,

769
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: uh dolphin dead vikings. All right, so you gotta pick one.

770
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: King and Drake or Frank Gore. Who are you going with?

771
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going ceiling, So I'm going in Drake.

772
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: But I don't like either one of them. Like remember,

773
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: of course you do. Like I've been talking about selling

774
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: Drake since like week four, and you know, he's bounced

775
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: up and down in the statuet and Gore has actually

776
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: been the guy who's getting more touches. Last week, I

777
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: believe they were at a fifty fifty in terms of

778
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the snap percentage, but Gore had more touches but Drake,

779
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: and to the benefit of his fantasy owners, was involved

780
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: in one of the most memorable plays ever. And if

781
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't, then you would have got you would have

782
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: gotten Bupkiss and you wouldn't have to think about starting

783
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: number sitting he gone. But I don't. I mean the

784
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: Vikings at home, Like, I just there's not a dolphin

785
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: I dig this week. I just don't like any of them.

786
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: Would you trust Kirk Cousins. Yeah, I mean again, you know,

787
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: we talked about it. He's he's coming off a bad

788
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: game and he hasn't been great, but new offensive coordinator,

789
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: maybe a new mindset. Home game, good matchup. Uh in

790
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: the twelfth team league, I say he's a QB one, Uh,

791
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: Washington going to Jacksonville. You start Josh Johnson is the quarterback.

792
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: Is there anybody in that offense you start at this point? No,

793
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: And like Jordan Reid's hurt, I well, it took I'm

794
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, that's typical, but it took a long

795
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: time for this, So like that offense is a disaster.

796
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of why I like the Jags defense,

797
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: although it's weird to say, I kind of like the

798
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Jags defense after seventeen how good they were. But no,

799
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: like I just can't. I can't do it. I can't

800
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: do it, and I won't do it. Adrian Peterson No,

801
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson no, uh none. Other wide receivers, none of them.

802
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: There's one player that I trust this week in this game,

803
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: one Leonard Fournette, if he can stop throwing hands and

804
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: stop yelling at the damn crowd and focus on football.

805
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: Because before his previous stinker, he was giving me a

806
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty game Uh. He ever since he had come back

807
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: from the hammy. So I I like him. And remember

808
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: last week, like Eddie what se Quin was on pace

809
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: for like three yards rushing like in that game in

810
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: the first half and then he like had five touches

811
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: in the second half because they were crushing him. Right.

812
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: Their defense is bad. And that's another team that's like, dude,

813
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: they're done, man, They're just out there cashing their check.

814
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: There's there's no motivation for that team at all. So yeah,

815
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: it's funny because the team was, they were in first place.

816
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: It's crazy, like how long ago? Yeah, I know, I

817
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: know they were. Dude, after the Cowboys lost uh in

818
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: Washington when when Dad had the damn fumble that they

819
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: were covered in the endzone for the touchdown, like everyone

820
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: was all of a sudden, Redskins they were the favorite,

821
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: the first place in the NFC East and everything. And

822
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: then you know, what do you like to say, life

823
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: comes at your Life comes at you fast. I mean

824
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, you had the injury and it just it

825
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: has not been the same since then. Um so no

826
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: other no other Jags. No uh, I mean I mean, like,

827
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, Sleeper, I think you know, he could be

828
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: a startable asset for you if you're if you're in need.

829
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: But I mean no, yeah, no, I mean Jaguars defense

830
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: in for net and then and then you know Westbrook.

831
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: Right now, this game is you know, falls under the

832
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: category of because the schedule makers, yes, exactly, Thank goodness.

833
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: This isn't like a Thursday night football game because boy,

834
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: no one except for fantasy owners, Redskins and Jaguars fans

835
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: would be watching it. Cowboys at Colts so and I

836
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: know we're gonna talk about this a little bit on

837
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live on Friday. But which Amari Cooper did you

838
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: think shows up? Is it? Is it big game you

839
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: know thirty five forty point of marit Cooper or is

840
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: it the you know five six point. No, I'm thinking

841
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. So, uh, Matt Frederick, who's one of

842
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: our great researchers, uh sent me a slack here and said,

843
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: since week seven, the team allowing the fewest receiving yards

844
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: and the fewest PPR points to wide receivers is Indianapolis Colts.

845
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis freaking calls Eddie that defense is not that bad

846
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: because we always we always think of the Colts as

847
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: having a crappy defense because typically they do this ship

848
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: they don't. It's not that bad. They're not bad. There's

849
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: not that bad at all. So, I mean, I'm still

850
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: starting to Mary Cooper, I ain't telling you to set

851
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: up guys on fire right now, but you're not getting

852
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: forty out of them, that's for sure. Um. So, Andrew

853
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: look has been great pretty much all year long. The

854
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense has been great pretty much all year long.

855
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: Who wins well, hopefully the Cowboys. Okay, well, I mean

856
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: in terms of does Andrew Luck, Andrew Luck get over

857
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: all the defensive defense. Andrew Luck look at his numbers

858
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: at home and you know, like I get it, Okay, whatever,

859
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: but dude, he's awesome at home. Historically, he's great at

860
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil. I'm not I would play him. He's in

861
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: my top eight even against that defense, and I know

862
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: how good the defense is. I watched the Cowboys more

863
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: than any other team in the league for obvious reasons.

864
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Defense is nasty, young, aggressive, up and coming. But Andrew

865
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: Luck is dude. I mean, he's He's an elite quarterback.

866
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: We just all had to sort of get it into

867
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: our heads at the shoulder injury was was sort of

868
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: a thing in the past, and he has proven that

869
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: it is. By the way, another another you know, guy

870
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: who likes to make stupid comments, Skip Bayliss, said that

871
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: he would rather have Dak Prescott right now than Andrew Luck.

872
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was drunk on like that.

873
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: Also and noted cowboy Homer. I know, but like no way,

874
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: like dude, let's tell me tell me right now, you

875
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: guys something, If Andrew Luck was the starting quarterback in

876
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys right now, they would be a Super

877
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Probably, am I am I wrong? Probably? Yeah? Better?

878
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: But I don't take what Ski Bailis says. I know,

879
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: just like I was a Cowboys fan, I'm like, are

880
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Like I did? It being a Cowboys homer.

881
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: I get it back over Andrew Luck. A know, I know,

882
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: because we're talking about Steven a and his foolishness today

883
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: and then Skip Bayliss just came to mind, but I

884
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: saw that, and uh No, Andrew Luck is a guy

885
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: like I mean, I get it. He was drafted late,

886
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: so hell you could have homes and Luck, you really could.

887
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: There's not many quarterbacks. I'm starting over Andrew Luck this

888
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: week despite the matchup, because at home, he's he gold.

889
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: He's gold, Jerry, he is gold. Uh Seahawks had forty Niners.

890
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson not great last week? Will he be less

891
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: than or better than not great this week? I like him?

892
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean Niners A couple of weeks ago, he had

893
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: a huge game against San Francisco. I would start him

894
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: with confidence, all right. Uh So, speaking to the Niners,

895
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: which Niners would you trust? Now? Matt Breeda might possibly

896
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: be back this week, So that means if he is

897
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: no Justin j Justin Jeff Wilson, I'm getting all my

898
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: like reserve running backs. All confused, guys, this is called

899
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: Week fifteen fantasy. I have it market all my all

900
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: my backup running banks are getting all like brit is

901
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it to us again, isn't he? Because Wilson

902
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: has a great match up. The last time he played

903
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, he had a huge game, lots of touches,

904
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: and um Bred has been limited in practice, So keep

905
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: tabs on the status. If Wilson is the guy, then

906
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: I say he's a flex starter. Uh Pettis two touchdowns

907
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: and almost thirty fantasy points a couple of weeks ago

908
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: against Seattle, albeit it was match up mode big time.

909
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: Um So I still say he's in the flex starter conversation.

910
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting Nick Mullins to have four hundred yards

911
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: passing in this game, but there are a couple of

912
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: Niners that I would lean on outside of George Kittle.

913
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: By the way, could we have gotten George Kittle like

914
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: five yards in the second half last week? Alright? Just

915
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: something that still bothers me. Like Shannon Sharpe's record was done,

916
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: it was toast and he did not catch a pass

917
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: in the second He had one target Patriots at Steelers.

918
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: So are we back to avoiding Patriots running backs? Now

919
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: we have to go back to that. We have to

920
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: visit the lake. I mean James White has been so

921
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: good and I get his snaps have dropped for what

922
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: four or five straight weeks? Like, can you really still

923
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: bench him? I mean even if he's just in the flex,

924
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: can you? I mean, I guess you can. I mean, yeah,

925
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: I guess you can. Like, I mean, it's hard for me,

926
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: and it's a tough decision for fantasy owners because a

927
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys out there. You've got Damian Williams, You've

928
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: got Justin Jackson, maybe Jeff Wilson, depending on what the

929
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: status of breed is. So there are some running backs

930
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: who are going to get volume that you could potentially

931
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: stick into your lineup and and put James White out.

932
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: And to me, that's that's a that's a personal preference.

933
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: But I still have James White in my top twenty

934
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: running backs this week in PPR leagues. Maybe I'm gonna

935
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: be wrong. We'll see what happened. Sony Michel has been

936
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of carries and that James Devils sticking

937
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: it to us near the goal line and getting all

938
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: the red zone touches. Did you I mean, like it

939
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't the backfield working we afforded, We injured himself,

940
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I mean, it was working. We had figured

941
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: it was working, Marcus. You know, it was just we

942
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: hadn't even we hadn't even created a preseason contingency plan

943
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: for Rex burkehead right, like we had all figured out. Now,

944
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, James Devlin is showing up, like really, Bill, really,

945
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: bro come on, man, come on, man, give us nice things. Uh,

946
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuel's last week, you know where there's all this

947
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: hype and all this talk about you know, his dual,

948
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: his dual status on certain platforms that he could be

949
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: tight end, he'd be running back whatever. Um. In the end,

950
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: he was just fine. I think he kind of got

951
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: some yards late and he got some catches late. That's

952
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: certainly helped the target and you know, helped his his

953
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: overall PPR totals. But you know, it was just fine. Um,

954
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: do you trust him this week? Can we rely on him?

955
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: Knowing that you know, James Conner is trying to work

956
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: his way back right now? Well? No, I mean obviously,

957
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: if James Connor is going to be active, which I

958
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 1: don't know that he will be, although, uh, the Steelers

959
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: O C said that he doesn't need practice to get

960
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: into the game could be a game time decision. We'll see.

961
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully we have some more clarity on that on Friday.

962
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: But if Connor is out again, I still have Jalen

963
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: in my top twenty and he is a flex starter

964
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: RB two type. This week because of the volume, he

965
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: saw more snaps than Ridley did last week week, although

966
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: really did vulture a touchdown. I still, dude, if I've

967
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: learned one thing over the last four or five years,

968
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: it's that typically you can trust the Steelers running back

969
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. I mean, that has been

970
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: it's been live, whether it's been Connor, whether it's Ben

971
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: D'Angelo that has um Eagles at Rams. So we talked

972
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: about Nick Or, we talked about Carson Wentz being out.

973
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just ask the christ if if you're

974
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: just feeling crazy, if you wake up feeling dangerous one day,

975
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: do you start Nick Foles? I mean, how dangerous are

976
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: we talking about? You gotta be Let's say, let's say

977
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: two quarterback league. If you're in a two QB league,

978
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: would you consider Nick Foles? I feel like it can

979
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: do better, man, I mean Lamar Jackson and Baker and

980
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I mean, like, you know, you gotta be going,

981
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be feeling real dangerous, you know, like Luke

982
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: Skywalker trying to blow up the death start in a

983
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: New Hope. I mean you know, Um, I just nah,

984
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it. So then how it

985
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: does it? Does it have an impact on how you

986
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 1: feel about any of those other guys in that offense? Yeah, dude,

987
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: like I had, I had Adams, as I said before

988
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: the Wentz news came out, the only guy start with

989
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: confidences arts all Shon's a risk reward flex the same

990
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 1: thing with Golden and not particularly high on Golden Tad either.

991
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: So no, man, I just I'm not I'm not. I'm

992
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: not into this into this Eagles offense, not with Nick

993
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: Foles understanding the one thing that I could see happen

994
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: in Marcus which could prove me wrong, and the Rams.

995
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: This team, as Akbar would say, is going to be

996
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: at a high level of pestivity, right, Okay, they got

997
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: embarrassed by the Bears. Now they're back at home. They're

998
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: a better team at home. I mean they are. They're

999
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: a great team regardless, but they're a better team at home.

1000
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: Golf is better at home. It ain't thirty degrees or

1001
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty degrees or whatever the heck it was in Chicago.

1002
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: They could blow the damn Eagles doors off in the

1003
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: first half and Fuls could throw it forty times and

1004
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: then maybe he gives you three and two touchdowns because

1005
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: of Garba time. But I think that's what you're gonna need.

1006
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna need that game script, which is possible for

1007
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: Nick Foles to to have a very very effective stat line.

1008
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: And that's a Sunday night game. Also, um, and the

1009
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: the temperature in l a forecast temperature, it's gonna be

1010
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: right around sixties. Oh my god, A what for l A.

1011
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: But it'd also be about forty degrees warmer. But the

1012
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: Rams last week in Chicago. So that being said, we're

1013
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: all good. Going back to Jared Goff this week. Start

1014
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: them all, dude, Start them all, okay, early, all of them,

1015
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: start them all. Cool? Yeah, Rams defense, get him in

1016
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: Greg the leg, Josh Reynolds, even if you're you know,

1017
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: looking for a high ceiling play at a flex. So

1018
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: we're back to where we were like in September October.

1019
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: Just yeah, man, they just did They ran into a

1020
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: bus all Willy and everything. We are so lucky that

1021
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: Kared Goff doesn't play in a cold weather state, because

1022
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: if he did, he'd he would probably be case Keenum

1023
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: or he would just learn to adjust to that. Maybe.

1024
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I mean well, I mean,

1025
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers grew up in California

1026
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: and played at cal and he seemed to be doing okay,

1027
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's from I hear you anyway, Saints at Panthers.

1028
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: Does this mean the Saints are gonna look like the

1029
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: Saints again? Because I don't know, I don't know who

1030
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: these dudes are wearing the Saints wearing the flur to

1031
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: lee on the side of their helmets, because they don't

1032
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 1: look like the Saints that I we said this last

1033
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: week and it blew up in our faces, you know,

1034
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: like I hope so like for for Fantasy onners sake,

1035
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: I hope. So. I mean, I'm still gonna play Breeze, right,

1036
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna play Michael Tommy's obviously, I'm still gonna

1037
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: play Camara, obviously, mark Ingram I'm a little I'm a

1038
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: little down on him. I get it. He got into

1039
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: the end zone last week that saved his stat line.

1040
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: But Carolina has not been bad against running backs this season,

1041
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: so Ingram is is a risk reward play for me.

1042
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: But that's it. I mean, you know, Trade Quons disappeared,

1043
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: He's not getting any targets at all. Well, I mean,

1044
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: just all those secondary guys, like I never felt like

1045
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: any of them were had any staying power in the offense, right,

1046
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: Trade Kwon Smith, Keith Kirkwood, Dan Arnold, who I still

1047
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: think is Kevin's dad for years? Um, what would you

1048
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: do if I sang on a tune that is one

1049
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: of the best covers of all time? But yeah, I mean, basically,

1050
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: I just want I want mark Ingram to come back.

1051
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: I want to make sure Michael Thomas is okay, we

1052
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: want Drew Brees back, Alvin Kamara, who you know was

1053
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: sort of disappointing last week. It just I just want

1054
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: the Saints to go back to looking like the Saints. So,

1055
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, and I think we've

1056
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: talked about this, maybe it wasn't with you, but uh,

1057
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: eighties crushes from TV sitcoms. Everyone talks about Elissa Melano,

1058
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: Dedneca mcgillers is up there Olivia Diabo is pretty good.

1059
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 1: That is the most underrated eighties sitcom crush who herd.

1060
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: Her castmates did not know for the whole first season

1061
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: that she was actually English. She hit her accent because

1062
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: she was afraid that that they wouldn't give her the

1063
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: job playing in America teenager if they knew she was even.

1064
00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: Everyone loves Samantha, miss Eli and but Olivia the album man. Okay,

1065
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to Let's let's move back to fantasy.

1066
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: What about the Panthers Panthers wide receivers, do you trust

1067
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: any of them? D J? Moore? I like more Again,

1068
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: Saints defense, you know, been better, but they have given

1069
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: up a lot of points to wide receivers this season.

1070
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuels has sneakily been pretty consistent. He's not giving

1071
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,479
Speaker 1: you gigantic numbers, but he's given you, you know, ten

1072
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: to fourteen points game. I like him as a flex.

1073
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: Now here's the big one. Okay. Cam Newton does not

1074
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: look like Superman lately. Yes, yes, I mean he's been

1075
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: Superman after didn't have a touchdown pass last week. In

1076
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: the previous game, had two touchdown passes and four picks.

1077
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: He's had twenty six points combined in his last two games.

1078
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: We know the shoulders an issue, and if you listen

1079
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: to us on TV earlier this week, I told you

1080
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: that he is not getting goal line opportunities to They're

1081
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 1: all going to Christian McCaffrey. And earlier in the season

1082
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Cam was getting those goal line chances.

1083
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Now they're given to the CMC. Is Cam a sit

1084
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: for you this week? Um, He's another one where the

1085
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: ceiling is always potentially high, so it makes it hard

1086
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: for me to sit in him. But there are a

1087
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: lot of guys that I would start over Cam new Man.

1088
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: There really is. It's just I have I kind of

1089
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: checked out on this offense, save Christian McCaffrey. Like McCaffrey

1090
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 1: has been just bananas ridiculous with twelve touchdowns since Week eight.

1091
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been insane. But he's kind of the

1092
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: only guy that that I've really been for sure in

1093
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: on like I've kind of gotten in. I've got Ian

1094
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: Thomas actually starting in the league this week. He's been

1095
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: pretty good the last couple of weeks. He's once Greg

1096
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: Olsen went down and Ian Thomas has kind of stepped

1097
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: in nicely, but I haven't been you know, Devin Funches

1098
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: has just vanished for the most part. Curtis Samuel is

1099
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: just inconsistent. DJ Moore is sort of up and down,

1100
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: and I just I just can't really trust any of

1101
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: those those other guys beyond that. So I'm hoping for

1102
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: a high scoring game. I've got Cam in a super

1103
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: flex league and I have to play him. I mean,

1104
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm mentioning Camin is a super Flights

1105
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: are definitely playing. But um, I'm hoping for a high

1106
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: scoring affair. I really am. It would really be good

1107
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: to see the Saints look like the Saints again. You

1108
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: have a lot I mean, if Breeze busts again, I

1109
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: mean that's a problem. That's a problem because you're going

1110
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: into Fantasy Championship Week, assuming you make it, uh with

1111
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: Breeze having a couple of matchups that have been very

1112
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 1: positive that he's not been able to exploit. So we'll see. Yeah,

1113
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: I don't say this about Cam. The thing that that

1114
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: really worries me is the fact that the last couple

1115
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: of weeks, when the Panthers needed to throw like a

1116
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: hail Mary at the end of the half, it's been

1117
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke coming off. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised

1118
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: if he ends up having surgery on that shoulder else

1119
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: that you know, who knows. And they're a team too.

1120
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of like they're they're done. Yeah, the Panthers,

1121
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean they were about six weeks ago they were

1122
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: talking about them is making a playoff run and you

1123
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: maybe winning, you maybe challenging for the division, and it's

1124
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: all falling apart for them. So alright, so that is

1125
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: Week fifteen. Any nutshell, I guess one very large nutshell

1126
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of rattling nuts around the area innet.

1127
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: So let's go over to Eddie. You got a delirious

1128
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: My delirious pick is Dak Prescott over Andrew Look, no joking,

1129
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, you guys, you guys take it into existence.

1130
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: Played you guys. You guys brought it up briefly with

1131
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: could be a David Johnson week and as a David

1132
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: Johnson Fantasy owner and every single one of my teams,

1133
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: and he's probably some I guess grief this past week

1134
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: is my main team. I lost now and he didn't

1135
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: have a great game, So my delirious picked for this

1136
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: week is that every running back in the NFC West,

1137
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: whether it's the fourty niners with Brita or Wilson, I'm

1138
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: pretty sure Wilson's probably guy to go. Carson in Seattle

1139
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: probably over Penny this week, looks like he's banged up

1140
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: as well. Then obviously Todd Gurley with the Rams, they

1141
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: will all double the amount of points that David Johnson

1142
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: scores this week. Wow. Yeah, I'm a bit angry. So

1143
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: I see somebody's a little bit fresh, somebody's a little better.

1144
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: I was confident. But and I actually and back to

1145
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 1: that point that you guys made too, I totally agree

1146
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: with that that next year he'll be like a second

1147
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: third ish round guy. And just I mean it's like

1148
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: three thousand, totally yards right, exactly exactly what's gonna happen.

1149
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: All right, I'm guessing folks have some some Twitter questions

1150
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: for us, And thanks to everyone who tweeted into the

1151
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: NFL podcast handler myself or Marcus or fabs, and sorry

1152
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: to those who tweeted a lot about a lot of

1153
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon questions. Obviously this podcast will be released probably

1154
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: right before um, but Melvin Gordon is an active so

1155
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: if you're listening, Yeah, so we'll start off here with

1156
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: the Will Martin asked a simple question. Did he start

1157
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, who's been a starter all year, or does

1158
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: he switch it up to Derek Carr or Josh Allen. No,

1159
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with Ryan out of that group. I don't

1160
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: love him, but yeah, but yeah, those other ones feel

1161
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: like that. I I can't trust Josh Allen. I can't

1162
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: like not not as a straight QB one in like

1163
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: a ten or twelve team league. I can't do it.

1164
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: Mad Minger's asking this for his flex position and his

1165
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: standard scoring league, Curtis Samuel or Kenyan Drake h. I

1166
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: would probably go Kenyan Drake. I don't. I don't. I

1167
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: don't love either of them. I don't love either of it.

1168
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: I'd probably go Kenyan Drake. Ksey Meiser has a two

1169
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: part question. His first one is Cousins versus dak Or

1170
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: and then d J. Moore or Courtland Sutton. I definitely

1171
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: go Dack over Cousins, d J Moore, Yeah, probably d J.

1172
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: Moore over Sutton. Keith balanists asking Jared Goff or Russell

1173
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: Wilson Golf. I feel like He's going to have like

1174
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: three thirty and like three touchdowns in that game. The

1175
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: Eagles defense is bad. They're all banged up. Dak. I mean,

1176
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: Duc had over four hrd yards passing. Again, he had

1177
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: a career high. So I like golf this week, man,

1178
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if Golf had a sting her. Alright,

1179
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: we can run around here with Dave m He needs

1180
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: two of these running backs to start. He has James White,

1181
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon, Gus Edwards, and Kevin Coleman. I'm gonna let

1182
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Marcus take this one. So James White, Keith Dixon, Gus Edwards,

1183
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: and Tevin Coleman. Yeah, two of those guys. Oh all right,

1184
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say Kith Dixon and Tevin Coleman.

1185
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not confident about any one of those

1186
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: four guys, but I'll go Kenneth Dixon and Tevin cole

1187
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: You have a dartboard, you put the faces on the

1188
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: dartboard there, and you just, I mean, I feel like

1189
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: you can. I feel like you can pick any combination

1190
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: of those four and probably come up with just about

1191
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: the same point totals, just about it every time. Three

1192
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: or four weeks ago, if you had James White to

1193
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: James White is a no brainer, right that. That's how

1194
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: much things change. It's such a short amount of time.

1195
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the questions everybody. Best of luck to

1196
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: you in your fantasy matchups, if you are still alive.

1197
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: If you are not, we appreciate you still tuning in

1198
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: because we do a lot of fun stuff here, so

1199
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: we're glad you're part of it. That's it, we are done.

1200
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Always remember an apple a day can keep anyone away

1201
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: if you throw it hard enough. See you on Monday.

1202
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Wo wo wo. I don't go. I'll don't go.
