Speaker 1: the way. It's his time to shine, like Simon says,

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: only it's our Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano, so we'll

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: call it fab Labs is weekly manifesto known as starts.

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Sit is on the way and we can get it.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Not every fantasy player is producing like day should, but

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: don't worry. We're bringing in the replacements. Shane Falco Man,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live starts right now. Yah. Welcome to NFL

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, presented by bos Matt money Smith here alongside

13
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and the man who

14
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: is good enough to get an NFL shield, the Pelpin

15
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: unlike the rest of us, because he's super special, Elliott Harrison. Well,

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: if you have fabs blabs, I think I have Elliott's toilets.

17
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: My Fantasy Live team lost. It's lost to your your

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: team this week. Yeah, over time, FABS got me. My

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: auto picked team played like an auto picked But hey,

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Elliott at least you've got the shield on this right

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: there represent very presidential in an NFL sort of way.

22
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: There we go get the single on that their shield.

23
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: All right, we start things off in Minnesota. Bad news.

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Vikings place quarterback Matt Castle unfortunately on season ending injured

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: reserve Wednesday morning. So now it is the rookie Teddy

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Bridgewater's time to shine. As we said earlier, what are

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on I think the Vikings are going to

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: try to get him some confidence early fabs. I'm expecting

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: a lot of bubble screens, high completion throws in the

30
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: first quarter, which I think we'll get him going early.

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: But that said, I think there's only upside here for

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense. I haven't exactly been killing it the

33
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: last two weeks. We have been working together for so long.

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: That was the That was the exact same analysis upside,

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: and that's what I like with this rookie quarterback. Now,

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is really deep. So unless you're in

37
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: a deeper league or you start two qbs, maybe you're

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: not picking them up. But I'm really interested to see

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: what Bridgewater can bring to this offense. Well, we said

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I belief fabs Cordarrell really had one play,

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: I mean that that is his it was. It was

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: a run out of the backfield where he broke a

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: bunch of tackles and we watched a bunch of rams

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: stumble over one another as he made his way to

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: the end zone. So this is perhaps an opportunity. Don't trade,

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: don't drop Cordarrel Patterson yet. See if in fact Teddy

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Bridgewater can change things for someone you probably drafted pretty high. Yeah,

48
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: no question about it. Remember, no Kyle Rudolph now So

49
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: if Patterson wasn't the first option in that offense, he

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: is now. Yeah, And north Turner was very excited about

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater going into the sea. Sure. And when I

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: talk about high percentage throws, those little bubble screens you

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: see the Falcons do with Julio Jones, get the playmaker

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: the football, and I think the Viking will try to

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: do that. Maybe he only catches seven balls for fifty yards,

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: but they're gonna hope that he breaks one. Well, speaking

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: of players that coaches were excited about in the preseason,

58
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: that would be Maurice Jones. True and fantasy owners have

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: been waiting for m J D. To return to the

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: field after he's been sidelined with that hand injury for

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. He and the Raiders travel across

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: the Pond to London to take onto the Dolphins in

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the first game of NFL's international series. So should we

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: expect him on the field Sunday. Well, he caught up

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: with Terrell Davis on nfl a m Wednesday morning. He's

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: doing well. You know, they got a tensa guy here today,

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: got hit on a couple of times. Will feel good. Uh,

68
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: just just trying to get out on the field and

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: help my man out. You know, it's it's you know,

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: we I feel like we both would do better if

71
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: we're both out there. So obviously he's been taking the

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: brunt of the carries and and the brother of the game,

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the reps and stuff. So I want to get out there,

74
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: try to give him a blow here and there and

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: let him let him get his legs back underneath and

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: so he can run. All right, So are you playing Sunday?

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: What can we catch you in on Sunday? Yeah, definitely.

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I Mean it's not up to me, but I feel

79
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: like I'll be able to play. So M J D.

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Of course, it's not his decision up to the coaches.

81
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: The handbook for manure though, but well, you know, maybe

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: that's just the way he likes to hold it, you know,

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: like that. You know what about it? Is m j

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: D a start if he's a go no, no, no,

85
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: I like the Dolphins front seven. No. Darren McFadden is

86
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: a guy that I would start over Morris Jones Drew

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: if I needed to start a Raiders running. Okay, so

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: let me h, hey, I'm gonna push it further here ahead.

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: If he's available, do you pick him up off the

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: waiver wear I'd pick him up off the waiver wire.

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: And let me just say this, I get what Nile

92
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Davis was able to do against the Dolphins. This game

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: is London. There's too many weird factors to play a

94
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: guy like him, j D. We're not talking about Eddie

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Lacey here. We're talking about m j D. Too many

96
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: you know, overseas, Darren McFadden, injury, too many questions. And

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: then you also left out Raiders. Yeah, to include that

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: important that one as well. All right, A bit of

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: relief in Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker underwent an m

100
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: R I for his risk the injured. Last week, results

101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: of the m r I were negative no structural damage.

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: So Locker status for the Titans game against the Colts.

103
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: We won't know it until later in the week, but

104
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: if Locker can't go, veteran Charlie Whitehurst would get the start.

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: How does that quarterback situation affect the likes of Kendall

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Wright or Delaney Walker or the others. Well, I'm still

107
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: playing Delaney Walker regardless of a good matchup. Kenna Wright

108
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been that good this year unless you start three

109
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Maybe you sit him down, but you know

110
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: what the big play could be here. If Charlie white

111
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Hurst is a quarterback for the Titans, pick up the

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: Colts defense and play them. That is a very nice

113
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: streaming option. Charlie Whitehurst is a big step down from

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: Jake Locker, and Locker has sort of been cursed ever

115
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: since We love them in a Week two, hasn't done

116
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: anything since then. Yeah, I I agree with all those

117
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: points about the Colts defense. I agree about Delaney Walker.

118
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: Good weeks one and two for him. If you're in

119
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: a two quarterback league, though, I don't think you just

120
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: give up on Locker Now, I do believe in kN

121
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: wizzen Hunt. I do think he will turn it around.

122
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Jake Locker is not gonna play like he has the

123
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: last two weeks the rest of the year. I will

124
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: respectfully disagree with. Likes guys that get the ball out

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: quick and super accurate, and those are the two things

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: that Jake Locker isn't. I just feel like that first

127
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: game against Cancer, he can't get out of the pocket

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: and run, though yeah he can, and you know what,

129
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: run enough quarterbacks get you quick fantasy points, no question there.

130
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: That's that time to bring in the rest of our crew,

131
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Molly Carreram and Marcus Grant for more money, Thank you kindly.

132
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Molly cam here with Marcus Grant. Hello everybody, and we're

133
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at the waiver wire guys to

134
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: pick up. And these are players that are available in

135
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: or more of leaks. And we begin with Kirk Cousins.

136
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: He has been lighting it up and he gets the

137
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Giants this week. But I know Thursday night football concerns you.

138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Thurs Night football does concern me. But they're at home,

139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: speaking of Washington, and I think that is going to help.

140
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: You've got the Giants having to come in on off

141
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the road after playing a short week. I think Kirk

142
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Cousins is a good play this week. If nothing else,

143
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: you pick him up and you put him on your

144
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: bench just because he has played so well. I think

145
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: he's a guy who, if he keeps going, he keeps

146
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: the starting job all throughout the season, could finish just

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: outside the top ten in Fantasy points at the position.

148
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: That's solid for a guy you get off the waiver

149
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: will no question. I'm putting in the top ten. They're

150
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: market are getting aggressive. Let's move on here to Vikings

151
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: running back Matt Assata. He's filled in nicely with Adrian

152
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Peterson out fo ts and three career stars. Yeah, and

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: you know he's not necessarily a big play guy. He's

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: not going to get you well over a hundred yards

155
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns every week. But he's a

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: nice plug and play guy, especially if you've got running

157
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: backs on a by if you've got guys who were injured.

158
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: And the Falcons run defense has been vulnerable this year,

159
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: so Astiott of the guy you may be plug in

160
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: your lineup as an RB two reflects depending on your situation. Yeah,

161
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons have allowed the third most points per game

162
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: to running backs. Moving on to that Tennessee backfield, Shawn

163
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Green against that Colts run d that's a sort of questionable.

164
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: It is sort of questionable. And you still have to

165
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: worry about the quarterback situation there Tennessee. As you heard

166
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: the guys mentioned just a little while ago. You wonder

167
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be Locker, if it's gonna be white Hurst.

168
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: I think the Titans may go and lean on that

169
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: run game a little bit, especially because the Colts run

170
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: defense has been a little bit shaky. Don't worry so

171
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: much about Bishop Sanky this week. He looked good last week,

172
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: but there's still some things he has to work on.

173
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: The coaching staff has admitted to that. I think Sean

174
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Green's a sneaky flex play this week. Agreed. And let's

175
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: move on to the number two guy in Pittsburgh, Marcus

176
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: we And now he wasn't on that list, just outside

177
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: of it, but he's owned in only league and I

178
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: think that number needs to go up just because the

179
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Steelers find different ways to get him the football. He's

180
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: not going to surpass Antonio Brown obviously is the number

181
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: one guy in that passing game, but Wheaton has played

182
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: some good football this year, and he's a guy who

183
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: can get you some targets. He can get you some points,

184
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: especially in the PPR League. Maybe find some different ways

185
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: to score for you a little bit. The Bucks really struggled.

186
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a disaster on Thursday night, So

187
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be that bad again, but

188
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: it appears to be potentially a good match up. All right,

189
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: let's be a negative Nancy here in t up the

190
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: worst players here, the top ten dropped guys, and we've

191
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: got Dennis pitt Of, Danny Woodhead, Kyle Rudolph, Bobby Rainey,

192
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: Larry Danelle, No Sean Moreno. And let's get into some

193
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: of these guys. And let's start with no Sean Moreno.

194
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: He's expected to miss four to eight weeks with a

195
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: dislocated elbow. Do you keep him on your bench? If

196
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: you have depth? What do you do here? This is

197
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: the thing. If you have the depth, I would suggest

198
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: you stash No Sean Moreno and you find somebody else

199
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: to plug into that running back spot. If you're shorthanded

200
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: and you need to free up some space. I understand

201
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: why you let him go, but he was so effective

202
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: when he played, and you figured once he gets back,

203
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back in that starting role again. It's

204
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: hard to just say goodbye to him knowing that somebody

205
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: else in your league is gonna snatch this guy up.

206
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: This next one is a tough one. Bernard Pierce and

207
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: they're taking on Carolina this week. He didn't play in

208
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Week three with the thigh. But it's changing who's starting

209
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: there every week. You know, one week it's Pierce, then

210
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: it's justin for set, then it's Lorenzo Taliferro. You just

211
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: never really know where the Ravens are gonna go. And

212
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: for that reason, I'm really scared to just put him

213
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: out there on the way very wire to go and

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: have him to have a big week now this week

215
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, it's not a very good matchup, But

216
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: just saying good bye the Bernard Pierce without really knowing

217
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: what the Ravens want to do in that running game,

218
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of risky right there. Yeah, you might want

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: to hang on, hang on a little longer till we

220
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: have a better idea what's going on there. Chris Johnson

221
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: taking on Detroit now. His Russia attempts have decreased in

222
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: each game this season. Yeah, we talk a lot about

223
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: guys passing the eye test. For instance, Chris Ivory looks

224
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: like the better back in the Jets offense. Right now.

225
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: We we see that both Johnson and Ivery can line

226
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: up on the field at the same time. That's good

227
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: news for Chris Johnson. The bad news is that it

228
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: sometimes shows us that Chris Ivory has been the much

229
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: better player between the two. Johnson's the guy you're at

230
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: least relegating to your bench. And again, if you are

231
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: short on depth and you need to go somewhere else,

232
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: it's time to say goodbye to it. All right, let's

233
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: move on to Arizona. And you know Marcus I was

234
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: covering this game. Larry Fitzgerald not involved much. Again this

235
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: past week we saw Michael Floyd's really the number one

236
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: option and then John Brandon was doing a lot. So

237
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: what do we do with Larry fitz At this point,

238
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: Arf Fitzgerald, it's time to maybe if you can try

239
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: to trade him and get something for Maybe you can

240
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: get somebody to buy in on the name value alone.

241
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: But it's hard to put Larry Fitzgerald in your lineup

242
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: every week simply because Michael Floyd is getting most of

243
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the targets and they're finding new ways to get the

244
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: ball to John Brown as a receiver. A lot of

245
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: those short throws, a lot of those bubble screens. It's

246
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: making it really hard to count on Fitzgerald. And again,

247
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: if you're short on death, maybe you gotta say goodbye. No,

248
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to think that, but you know, sometimes you

249
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: just gotta make the make the decisions. A hundred plus

250
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: receiving yards once in the last thirteen games, So you're

251
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: really dropping some of these big name guys, Yeah, some

252
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: of them you do. So, I mean it's it's hard.

253
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's hard, but sometimes sometimes you

254
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: gotta take the name off the back of the jersey.

255
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Just look at the production. Can't go brand name. We'll

256
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: go for the value at this point. All right, good stuff,

257
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Thank you. Coming up next on NFL Fantasy Live. Yeah,

258
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: there's six teams on a bye this week. Yeah, I

259
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: said six. We've got some guys to help fill those

260
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: roster gaps. And if you're looking for more holes to fill,

261
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: we've got you covered. Adam Rank stops by with his

262
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: eleven sleepers for a week before Titan running back wide receiver.

263
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: It's all there. You don't want to miss it. Make

264

Speaker 1: NFL Network. Football starts here. Welcome back in everybody, and gentlemen,

270
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: our first wave of bye weeks are upon us. It

271
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: is hard to believe, so let's take a look at

272
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: which teams will be sitting this one out. So here

273
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: are the teams that are not playing in Week four.

274
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna show you those right now. The Bengals, the Broncos,

275
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: the Browns, the Cardinals, the Rams, and the scene playing

276
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: the team that has Peyton manning this week. Leagues, I'm

277
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: sure there's good odds that that potentially might happen. Michael Fabriano.

278
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: So as you can see a lot of big name

279
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: players out this week, So we're gonna give you some

280
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: guys you can plug and play in FABS. Let's begin

281
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: with Matt Asiota. Obviously, Adrian Peterson not there, and he

282
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: seems to be the guy. And he's got a really

283
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: good match up against the Atlanta Falcons. They've really struggled

284
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: against the run this season. So if Aciota is out

285
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: there on your fantasy waiver wire, go ahead, pick him up,

286
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: start him this week. He's an RB two slash flex.

287
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: The Falcons have given up five rushing touchdowns running backs

288
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: this year. That is the most of the National Football League.

289
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: Seattle is a good play, all right. How about Joyne

290
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Alan He seems to be at the tight en one

291
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: at this point. He's got a good matchup this week. Yeah.

292
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm still amazed at how many people don't own him

293
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: on their teams, I mean, are in their leagues NFL

294
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: dot Com. This guy is so available. But the big

295
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: play right there Week one against the Denver Broncos had

296
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown against Jacksonville. At this point, especially on the bias,

297
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: especially with all the tight ends that are down in

298
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: the league, like Dennis pitt Up for example, who just

299
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: went down for the year, you gotta pick him up

300
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: and plug and play against the Tennessee Titans. It's that simple. Yeah,

301
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: great pick up of you, especially Marcus Men hate when

302
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: I speak for them. I've been I've been told this,

303
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm going to assume that if you

304
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: only like run dmc if if umlines there you go. Yeah,

305
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: I got no problem with you speaking for me. It's

306
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: all good. Yeah, I do. I like Darren McFadden a

307
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: lot this week. I know that guys in the International

308
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: Series generally I haven't had big days on the ground,

309
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: but I think McFadden, especially if Jones Drew isn't available,

310
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: as a guy who can get you some decent yards running,

311
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: maybe a few catches, maybe even sneak into the end

312
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: zone once or twice in the kind of salvage your

313
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: days aflicted. And I don't blame you for thinking of him,

314
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: j D, because he's been a non factor. Thank you,

315
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for having my back there on that One's

316
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a brain fart, as we like

317
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: to say, Elliot, the Lions defense getting the Jets in

318
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: that depleted receiving corps. Yeah, you know, this is pretty easy.

319
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: It's Geno Smith, it's you know some things here. I'm

320
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: just saying. I'm just saying, Look, week one, you see

321
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: it right there against the Giants, excellent defensive performance, week too,

322
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: they lose to Carolina. That was really more about Carolina's

323
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: defense in their offense making plays on the Lions. And

324
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: then last week we saw the Packers in about a

325
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards net yards passing. Green Bay's offense

326
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. Lions defense is balling out right now

327
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: and against the Jets. I like them as a plug

328
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: and play. They are available on NFL dot Com. Yeah,

329
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: it looks great if you're streaming. Defense is Babs DeAndre

330
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: Hopkins against that Bill's secondary who looked really suspect when

331
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers exploited them. Who's the best fantasy receiver in

332
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Houston right now? DeAndre Hopkins, not Andre Johnson. It is

333
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Double digit is crazy and two of his

334
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: first three games this year playing the Bills, and they're

335
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: playing in Houston this week, which means it's a home

336
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: game the Bills on the road two or more touchdown

337
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: catches and three of their last four roadies. I really

338
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: like Hopkins. This weekend, we all need to root for

339
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins because don'tan wants to see James co in high

340
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Kevin Walter, he actually had some

341
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: fantasy relevance for about two seconds. Marcus, how about this

342
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee backfield? A bit confusing, but there's a good match

343
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: up here at the Colt und very much is the

344
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Colts run defense has been suspect. I like Sean Green

345
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: because he's the guy who was running hard. He's the

346
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: more power runner of the two. I know Bishop Sanky

347
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: had some nice numbers last week. I'd like to see

348
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: him get touches outside of garbage time, though you could

349
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: come up in the future. I know the coast are

350
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: the Titans coaches rather have some issues with Sanky. I

351
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: like Green as a guy who is a short term,

352
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: one week plug and play guy. All right, so bye

353
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: weeks in full effects of those are some guys that

354
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: you could spot start there. Good stuff, gentlemen, Thank you Connelly,

355
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: and for more players that you can plug in play

356
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: this week, let's send it over to Adam Rank for

357
00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: his week four sleepers. Adam, thanks guys. Every week I

358
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: provide eleven sleepers who can help you win your fantasy matchup.

359
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: What's the segment called? Well, you guessed it. Ranks eleven

360
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: right now? What do you say to me giving you

361
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: three sleepers right here? Come on, I'm tired of talking.

362
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Grab your coat and let's start walking. We walk down

363
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: to the running back position and Donald Brown. And if

364
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: you're asking what Brown can do for your fantasy team,

365
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: well you should be ashamed of yourself because you're more

366
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: clever than that. But I will say Brown is a

367
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: great play this week against the Jaguars. The matchup is outstanding.

368
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Plus the Chargers like to play a ball controlled offense

369
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: and puts the rock in Brown's hands a lot. I'm

370
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: talking thirty one times thirty one times in today's NFL.

371
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: It seems like we haven't had a running back run

372
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: at thirty one time since Dina was crooning at the Copacabana.

373
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: He is a clear RB two this week. Let's move

374
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, same game, and Allen Robinson is

375
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: somebody who should have caught your attention this week. The

376
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles era has started down a Dudell. Well, actually

377
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: it's starting in San Diego with this week. But here's

378
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: the point. Robinson has been one of the most reliable

379
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: receivers on the team as he leads the club and

380
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: targets and receptions. Those numbers figured to increase with Boardles

381
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I'm telling you there's something brewing down there

382
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and you want to get into the ground four,

383
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: don't you. All right, let's move on to tight ends,

384
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of us are in barney because of

385
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: injuries and the bye week. That's why I'd like to

386
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: advocate Travis Kelsey right now. He was a preseason darling

387
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: for many of us because of his athleticism, and his

388
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: production is clearly on the rise. He currently ranks eleven

389
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: the Monk tight ends and he's the Chiefs leading receivers.

390
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: A lot of tight ends are third and fourth options

391
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: on the team. With the Chiefs have tried to find

392
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: a way to get the ball into Kelsey's hands each

393
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: and every week, and that's only going to increase as

394
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: time goes on. Plus again, injuries and bye weeks are

395
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: hurting us here at the tight end position. So go

396
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: ahead and pick him up. So what's up? Do you

397
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: think we need one more? Okay, how about eight more?

398
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: You'll get more all that stuff because I gotta Boastie

399
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: and Jim Brown and Miss Daisy two Jet Bros. And

400
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: Leon Speaks, and not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever,

401
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: all that right now at NFL dot com Slash ranks eleven.

402
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: All right, see you when I see it, see on

403
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: the flip side rank. Thanks, I needed that other one.

404
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: It's been a weird start for fantasy wide receivers right

405
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: to various Larry Fitz even Keenan not Ah. Well, we're

406
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: going to help you with some of those concerns next.

407

Speaker 1: But listen, don't let by weeks get you down. Michael

413
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. For myriad reasons, Like

414
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: we see Darnier every season, the position you likely drafted

415
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: highest is already dealing with some serious attrition. So let's

416
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: get a look at some big name running back concerns.

417
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Through Week three. You see some injury, some just production

418
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: based obviously the first three Charles Foster, Doug Martin. Yeah,

419
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean you got to well top ten picks. Maybe

420
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: in the case of Arian Foster, went high money ball,

421
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: Matt Forte not giving you what you need. And then

422
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: there's Eddie Leasy who's in a category. So if you

423
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: have one of those running backs, who are you looking

424
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: to replace them with Elliott? Once you get it started, well,

425
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what in your whole intro there used

426
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: myriad attrition. I feel a lot of pressure here too,

427
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: something big. Yes, I'm gonna tell you. If you've been

428
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: a little whimsical looking at your bench, don't be about

429
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: Rashan Jennings. You have to play him right now. Rashan

430
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Jennings is a volume play. I don't care what you

431
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: thought about him before. I don't care if you think

432
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: of him as m j D's caddy and Jacksonville or

433
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: with Oakland last year. But Rashan Jennings is a volume

434
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: play now. I realize a lot of you already onto this.

435
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm just speaking to those who aren't. Rashan Jennings is

436
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: a must play. I don't care how strong your lineup is.

437
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: He's got to at least be in your flex because

438
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: he can not only run the football and that's what

439
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: he's been doing, but he's also a very good pass catcher.

440
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: And I will say, and I am. I preach this regularly.

441
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't like road teams on Thursday night football. I

442
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: don't needn't play well, but the running back position is different.

443
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: See the whole hit the whole yards. It's the only

444
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: play you can make. So if you hear, don't play

445
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: guys on Thursday night football when they're the road team.

446
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: Running back is the one position where you're clear. There.

447
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: I agree. Okay, alright, I was expecting to. I was expecting.

448
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: How do you feel about home teams in San Diego?

449
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: I feel good against the Jaguars, you feel better. I

450
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: feel a lot better. Keep it going. Donald Brown the

451
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: only guy in that backfield for the Chargers right now.

452
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: He is a must add in all fantasy football leagues

453
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: because Ryan Matthews he's gone knee injury, and then you've

454
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: got Danny Wooden. Yeah, he's gone to with a leg

455
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: and ankle. So this is the guy. Donald Brown is

456
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: the guy last year Finnish and points among running backs.

457
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

458
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: No team in the National Football League. Let me repeat that,

459
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: no team in the National Football League has given up

460
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: more points too. Fantasy lacks Donald good Brad. That's that's

461
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: a good play, Mr Harrison. And and by the way,

462
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: you know the little little sneaky sorry Fatis, but no

463
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: Mary and Grice either exactly up. So he's getting all

464
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: those touches. All right, I'm on Bradshaw, Marcus. My, Bradshaw

465
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: is the guy that you know. He is still I

466
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: guess technically behind Trent Richardson on the depth chart there,

467
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: but you talk about the eye tests, I mean, forget

468
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: all the numbers. He just looks like the better running

469
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: back and he's going to continue to get more touches

470
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: as things go along. And on paper, the matchup isn't

471
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: particularly great against the Titans, but they're giving up four

472
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this season. That's side for second most in

473
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And Bradshaw is just running hard

474
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: to get into the outside and more than that, Andrew

475
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: looked like throwing him around the goal line. Mean, that's

476
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: fantastic right there. So Bradshaw is the guy you're picking

477
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: up and you're putting in your lineup in him to

478
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: congratulations Elliott, Listen, I'm in a one team high waiver priority.

479
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: So he's like, you know, we do the we do

480
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: the silence of the game. Here at the NFL Network,

481
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: they had a mic on Andrew luck and when he

482
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: was in the huddle he said, hey, a mod and

483
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: it was Trent Richardson and just went, uh, that was mean,

484
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: just mean. Pierre Thomas, Pierre Thomas in New Orleans. Since

485
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the injury to mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas clearly was the

486
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: guy that they liked on those passing downs coming out

487
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: of the backfield. So certainly Pierre Thomas would be my

488
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: pick of someone you can start moving forward and in

489
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: the case of injury, look, I will start him over

490
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: a handful of those backs. If any Lacey doesn't do

491
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: it against uh, against the old Chicago Bears, he will

492
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: be right about that, he will. I will consider moving

493
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: Pierre Thomas into my one or two spot regularly. Let's

494
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: move on to some wide receivers that have a struggled guys,

495
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: and here you go. Wide receiver concerns all production based

496
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: this time around. Keenan Allen has uh. Well, he's come

497
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: out the gate slow to say the least, But you

498
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: just talked about it with Donald Brown. A good match

499
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Larry Fits did not get

500
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: his first reception against San Francisco until the middle of

501
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So let's get rolling with these wide

502
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: receivers and Marcus Brandon Cooks a good replacement. Brandon Cooks

503
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: has been fantastic for the first few games of the

504
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: season for the New Orleans Saints, and part of it

505
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: because the way they get him the football. A lot

506
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: of short passes, a lot of screen and it basically

507
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: works like an extended handoff, and sometimes they even just

508
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: hand it to him and let him run. I mean,

509
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: they're finding different ways to get him the football. And

510
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: obviously Jimmy Graham is going to be the number one

511
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: target in that offense. But the way Cooks is playing,

512
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: he's kind of made Marcus Colston expendable and he's the

513
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: guy that you're gonna see I think on a lot

514
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: of waiver wires coming up in the future speaking of Colston,

515
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: just because Cooks has been so effective in the flow

516
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: of that offense. Yeah, Briest sure does like him, no question,

517
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: for good reason. How about it, Elliott, We'll tell you

518
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: what money you more than anybody dorks out over college ball.

519
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: How often do we talk about back to back rookie

520
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers on this show being somebody you can play

521
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: it almost year the receiver. I'm telling you all suss

522
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: the games changing. I mean, there are more college concepts

523
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: being installed into these pro offenses. And the rules certainly

524
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: helped wide receivers out a lot, so young guys can

525
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: have a bigger rye now. But all that said, you

526
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: couldn't get two different players than Brandon Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin.

527
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: But Kelvin Benjamin is a guy that you just have

528
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: to play. Here's the thing of Calvin Benjamin, I love.

529
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw a much of fantasy numbers at

530
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: you right now. Just watch him play. Use the eyeball test.

531
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: When he's covered, he's open, they can throw the ball

532
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: to him, even if he's got a corner right on him.

533
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: He will jump and meet the ball to his highest point.

534
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: And of course, as I'm saying that, we show a

535
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: video of him running wide. Oh but you get the point.

536
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: He's made some great heads. That catch he made, well,

537
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: there's one right there, and the catching made against Tampa

538
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: in Week one. Outstanding six ft five, he's two hundred

539
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: and sixty pounds, and he is light, well not lightning quick,

540
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: but he's fast, So yeah, almost an impossible matchup. Alright,

541
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, a young dude, fabs, You're going with an

542
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: old dude, a guy who wasn't drafted in a whole

543
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of leagues back in August and early September. Now

544
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: he's tenth and Fantasy points among wide receivers and guys.

545
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: You know that old thing about revenge being a dish

546
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: best cold surf surf cold, Well, I've got it. This

547
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: is a big game for Steve Smith. Why he's playing

548
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: his old team, the Carolina Panthers, so he will be

549
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: motivated to put up very good numbers. He's leading the

550
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: team in targets. Then this pit is out, they'll see

551
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: even more targets. Torres Smith, he's gone out off the

552
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: fantasy radar. It's all about Steve Smith. I actually dropped

553
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: Tory Smith from my team, dropped him, drafted him I

554
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: think in the sixth Yeah, gone, no question, and you

555
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: can see we talked about a chemistry. Cam is always

556
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: looking for Calvin Benjamin. Clearly Joe Flacco. Oh well, hence

557
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the I don't know, second most targets in the NFL.

558
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Stevie Johnson. Uh just again eyeballs

559
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: and out in Arizona, they had the issues with the

560
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: tight ends. They had to go four wide and five wide.

561
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: And the intriguing thing to me about Stevie is you've

562
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: seen targets increase every single week. You've seen receptions increase

563
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: every single week. And what we heard in the preseason

564
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: is that Stevie was struggling to get the offense down.

565
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: He certainly is doing that more. He runs great routes.

566
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: He is exactly where where Colin Kaepernick needs him, and

567
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: and Kwan Boldin while he is a possession receiver, he's

568
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: doing a lot of his work on the outside. You

569
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: see Stevie in that slot regularly. And the middle of

570
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: that field has been wide open for the forty niners

571
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: because they're still concerned about Kaepernick taking off running and

572
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: you're seeing it right there with all of those receptions

573
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: for Stevie Johnson. I think he will continue to do

574
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: that and I would start him this week against Philadelphia

575
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: and what should be a shootout like we saw last

576
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: week against Washington given their defense. And as you were

577
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: saying that about him being a good route runner, you

578
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: could see him sitting down on the zone and a

579
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: lot of that is feel when you're out there running.

580
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: He's a smart wide receiver, no doubt in Colin Kaepernick,

581
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: and he's starting to develop that chemistry still to come

Speaker 1: two minute drill. We go through as many questions as

613
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: we can, and this is when we do our community service.

614
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: We really gives back to the people. So you want

615
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: to get started trying to Okay, who to start, Cordarol

616
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: Patterson or DeAndre Hopkins. I'm going DeAndre Hopkins. He's been

617
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: a big part of the Texans passing game and plus

618
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: I'd do worry that Vikings often sudden look anything like

619
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: we thought it would. Back and on, Yeah, with Matt Castle,

620
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: but Teddy Bridgewater is playing. They're gonna try to get

621
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: Cordarol Patterson on bubble screens, get some confidence for Bridgewater.

622
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: Short completions, Corderol Paterson. We call it a split decision,

623
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: my friends, who to add Jordan Matthews or John Brown?

624
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: We got the rookies here, I'm going Jordan Matthews. I

625
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: think the Eagles sold the ball a lot more than

626
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Cardinal Cardinals with Drew Stanton or Carson Palmer quarterback,

627
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree. Plus, I think this game against San

628
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: Francisco this week is gonna be a high scoring of

629
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: their Alright, moving on, who would your trade Brandon Cooks for? Um,

630
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: excuse me? Would you trade Brandon Cooks for Calvin Benjamin?

631
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I Wouldn't It feels like making a trade for the

632
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: sake of making a tree. I mean, both those guys

633
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: produce about the same, even though they do it in

634
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: different ways. I agree, and I also disagree. I would

635
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: if I can at Kelvin Benjamin, I would trade Cooks,

636
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: But it does feel a little like trade to make

637
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: a trade. And if someone gives you a long explanation

638
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: why to make a trade and they're on a show

639
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: with you, don't let start Matt Acata or Kyrie Robinson. Guys.

640
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm going because I'm going hotly because the matchup is

641
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: good this week against the Fire. Have you ever seen

642
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense moving pictures? They're not pretty, Kyrie Robinson?

643
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: All right? Moving on? Would you trade Golden Tate for

644
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: Justin for set? This one was tough? You never know,

645
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: wasn't that Raven's back. I wouldn't do it, Marcus. I'm

646
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: not trading for Justin for st two muddled over there.

647
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: I'll take Golden Tape exactly. And I think this week

648
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: takes these a lot of targets down with you guys

649
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: on that one too? Confusing? Who to start more? Tell

650
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: Us Bennett or Zach Earth's were moving to the Titans

651
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: tell Us Bennett. It is a tough one, but I

652
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: think the Bears offense against the Packers and think Titan

653
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: is gonna get some play. I do. I think this

654
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: is a tough one too. I'm going Earth's, but it's

655
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: closely because the shootout, Yeah exactly, I don't know Bennett

656
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: with Creity done good this past week. All Right, who

657
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: did dropped Tori Smith or Marcus Colston. I'm saying goodbye

658
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: to Tory Smith at this point, Steve Smith is the

659
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore I'm fine with money already did it towards he

660
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: did not slow down? Who to start? Kirk Cousins are

661
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? Look, I know Kirk Cousins is the flavor

662
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: of the week. I'm going Aaron Rodgers R E L

663
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: A X. Relax. He told everybody, yes, go with Vanilla,

664
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: don't go with Macadamien nut exactly, flavor of the week.

665
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely go with the guy that you drafted. Aaron Rodgers. Oh,

666
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm going with the hot new guy. K Cousins. Just say,

667
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff, gentlemen. But I'm not the expert,

668
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: so listen to them. That was in the moment presented

669
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: by the Lincoln Motor Company money and FABS taken away, gentlemen.

670
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Molly Fabs. Time to talk to

671
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: the PPR people to break it down for those that

672
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: are in standard leagues. We love us some points per reception.

673
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: So let's get a look at the players who have

674
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: been dominating all season long. Yeah, I love PPR leagues.

675
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: This to me should be standard getting points for catches.

676
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: And the one player that I want to talk about

677
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: first is Michael Crabtree. Look at the targets that he's

678
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: getting in that offense. Now. I know Stevie Johnson had

679
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: plenty of targets last week, but Crabtree is still the

680
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in San Francisco in a reality or

681
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint. And the matchup this week is fantastic against

682
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. They've been gashed by wide receivers all

683
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: season long. So crab she's a guy in a PPR

684
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: league you got to have in your lineup. Yeah, orderline

685
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: two and standard leagues they must have. In PPR league.

686
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: Going to the running back position, FABS, we always talk

687
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: about C. J. Spiller, right, but Fred Jackson is still

688
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: the best fantasy running back in Buffalo. He was last year,

689
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: he has been this this year as well, and he's

690
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: seeing targets out of the backfield. He's extremely versatile. I

691
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: love the matchup this week against the Texans. They've given

692
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: up twenty plus fantasy points to running backs and two

693
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: of their first three games Jackson dare I say money

694
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: is a better start than Spiller in PPR more standards. Alright,

695
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: running back is the position of concern, injuries, people not performing,

696
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: and you like your guy, Lamar Er Well, they're playing

697
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: overseas over in Wimbley this weekend and he has got

698
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: a very good matchup against the OpenD Raiders. They have

699
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: given up the seven most fantasy points of running backs

700
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: this year, and Miller is tied with Lashawn McCoy for

701
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: the eleventh most catches among running backs. He has ten.

702
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: And there isn't anybody else there, no Sean. He is

703
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: the guy there. He is the default guy passing running

704
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: start Lamar Miller this new Whether or not he Aaron

705
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: did it doesn't matter. He's just playing and you're gonna

706
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: play him. So Pierre Garson gotta benefit from a quarterback

707
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: change in Washington. He is. I didn't like the matchup

708
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: for him last week against the Eagles. He had done

709
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: nothing previously, but he did make me look bad last week.

710
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: He had a huge game. I'm starting him on Thursday

711
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: night and he's seeing a lot of targets right now.

712
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: He's tied with Julian Edelman and Antonio Brown for fourth

713
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: in catches among wide receivers in the National Football League

714
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: with twenty two great matchup. Garson is a guy you

715
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: gotta start all right. There we go a couple of

716
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: nuggets there for you PPR folks, and coming up, FABS

717

00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: is is that their big arm Georgia Bulldog Matthew Stafford

719
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: kicking his feet up or lasen up those cleats. You

720

732
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Let's do it, and we're gonna talk about Frank Gore

733
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: first last week, did not have a good game, fewer

734
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: than two fantasy points, but I still like him in

735
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: Week four against the Eagles. Gore has played the Eagles

736
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: four times. He's rushed for a hundred yards or more

737
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: three times in Philadelphia, allowed four rushing touchdowns and an

738
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: average of over twenty seven fantasy points per game the

739
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: running backs in their last two games. You have six

740
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: teams on a bye this week, You've got injuries at

741
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: running back. Gore is a nice r B two slash

742
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: flex starter. Same thing goes for Pierre Thomas. Last week

743
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: saw more touches total yards, he had a touchdown, over

744
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: eleven fantasy points. It was just highest total of the season,

745
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna have an even better game

746
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys a lot of average

747
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: about seventeen fantasy points per game to running backs in

748
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: two of their first three games, and Tomas in his

749
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: last two games against Dallas has scored three touchdowns a

750
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: running back. I am sitting this week. Reggie Bush. Yes,

751
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: I know he had a good game last week, but

752
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: that was then. This is now and now
