00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up here? Listening to the

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live podcast. I'm James Co, joined alongside by

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: the whiz kid from Wisconsin behind the Glass, Alex gillhar

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano, and the franchise sitting in.

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Uh for Marcus Grant MG? Uh, what's up with Marcus?

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: Marcus's best friend is Uh is turning forty and Marcus

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: is taking a quick trip to Vegas before football action

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So I thought he was sick. He will

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: be sick then, is What is what you're telling me?

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, potentially franchise man, Franciscovic stepping in franchise? What's

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: going on? Man? What's up? Co? A little a little

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: depressed after that Steelers game last night? But oh that's right.

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: You're a steel City guy. Yeah, yeah, I'm a Steelers fan. Well,

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: let's jump right into it. How the how did they

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: give away this game? Man? Holy I thought this game

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: was over about seventeen different times. Well, blame two people,

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Josh Scoby and then Todd Haley. I guess at the

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: at the end of that game that made no sense.

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Mike Vick should have had

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen Fantasy points. It was not his fault

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown dropped that pass in the end zone.

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Tough catch, No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. You got

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: to catch that ball, man, I mean, you're an NFL wide.

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Antonio's made hard times out of ten. I'm not saying

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: he has, but it's not. It's not a basic catch,

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: dive into the ground, he's got two guys on him.

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: He does. It's a it's a tough cat. You gotta

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: catch that ball. It's not that tough for for for Antonio.

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Apparently Michael Fabiano's got Antonio. No, I know. I actually

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Melissa Starks got him going against me in the Talent League.

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: So I was happy with it. But again, like NFL is,

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, is a team game. And uh, Antonio Brown

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: let Vick down when he dropped that ball, and Josh

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Scoby let the whole city of Pittsburgh down when he

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: can't make a field goal. And then Todd Haley with

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: his play calling at the end of the game, and

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: it was sort of the perfect storm and Baltimore comes

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: out of there with a win. And I think the

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: thing that you take out of it from a fantasy

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: perspective is that Levian Bell's role is not going to change.

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Still awesome, um. Antonio Brown had his fewest number of

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: targets in the game so far this year. He had nine.

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Still got that's still a healthy amount, right, He had

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: amount eleven and thirteen in the three previous games. But

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: then again, so you have to be a little worried

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: if you have Antonio Brown. But then again, the reason

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: why he didn't have a decent stat line was because

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: he dropped that touchdown. Uh, no doubt about it. I

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: want to get to your take on Antonio brown franchise

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: just because you know, I think a lot of folks

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: if they didn't watch the game fully well, I'll tell

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you this, if they didn't see the the near touchdown catch.

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it a drop, but it was.

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I thought it was. I thought it was a catch,

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: but it was a drop. Let him off the hook. Gosh,

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you guys are on one time. Man, you guys are

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: on one today. I'm trying to give him the benefit

58
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: of the town. He's the great Antonio Brown. They went

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: right through his hands, man, I mean, that's and there

60
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: wasn't a defender there, like um defending the ball. He

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: just dropped it. There's a defender on his back and

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: his shoulder yet behind him, Yeah, that's still a defender.

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: He wasn't pulling on his shoulder. Nobody was pulling. Now

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: you're making up live, but I'm just saying there's a

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: guy on of It's not like he's wide up, but

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: he's falling to the ground. I mean, wow, just no

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: no mercy here in the Fantasy Live podcast. But no,

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: because he's saying I think a lot of folks are

69
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: going to freak out right on Antonio Brown Whiz franchise

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: because think about it, Mike vick comes in, a lot

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: of folks are kind of already on edge, and then

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: you kind of look at the stat line you say, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay,

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: all my fears have been actualized here. Yeah. I mean

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm an Antonio Brown owner, I am very nervous.

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: The Steelers don't play again until next Monday night, So

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: that's a good It's a lot of days for every

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about how scared they are about Antonio Brown.

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Vick Vic clearly is not Big Ben Like, it's not

79
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: the same Steeler's offense. So yeah, if I'm a Brown owner,

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like you're gonna bench him, but

81
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: you got a lower your X wiz. What do you

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 1: do with Antonio Brown? What do you what do you advising? Folks?

83
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: Start him? He's one of the best wide receiver, and

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: of course you're going to start it. But I think

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: it's more of a trade of do you keep him

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: or trade him. I advise people to chill out. Ben's

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna come back in like four or five weeks. Brown

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: is still gonna be good. He got nine targets. Like

89
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Fabs and I both said he should have had a touchdown.

90
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Hit him right in the hands. It's just cool, cool

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: your jets. It was a Thursday night game. Everybody plays

92
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: sloppy on Thursday. There you go. I like it alright.

93
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Any other takeaways? Oh how about this? Justin for set

94
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of space. A lot of folks were saying, Hey,

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: this guy's done, he's a one year wonder, blah blah

96
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I thought he ran well. Not only

97
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: were the holes there, obviously, but I thought he was

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: able to find uh smaller holes and make the most

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 1: out of what he was given as well. He showed

100
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: good speed, good good lateral movement, which is what we

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: saw from him last year in his Pro Bowl campaign. Um,

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: I hesitate to say it, but is he back or

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: is this just a one game anomaly against a pretty

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: poor Steelers defense. Well, they actually hadn't been that bad

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: against the run going into the game, so UM, we'll

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: see if he's back. But he did get what seven carries,

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: which is a whole boatload. I'd love to see that

108
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: uh more often. What surprised me is that he didn't

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: have any catches. And what we what we talked about

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason about Mark Tressman was that for set

111
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden has more PPR value. I mean,

112
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: he didn't catch a pass, but he had a great

113
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: game and it was good to see him, uh catch

114
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: that catch that hot streak there last night, and hopefully

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: he can turn it into a nice streak for fantasy owners.

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is a departure from the Trestman system.

117
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: If hardball basically said, look, man, we're oh and three,

118
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: it's not working. Let's get back to power run game, UM,

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: tough defense, uh and try to control the clock a

120
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: little bit more. Did anyone get that take away from

121
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: from what we saw yesterday? Now, it could have just

122
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: been that things finally started clicking for the offense to

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, adapting to the to the scheme and stuff

124
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: like that. And first I had a couple of big

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: holes too. I mean, he did have that thirty three yarder,

126
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: have a couple of eleven yard ers. Where what did

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: he end up with? Hunt over? I think setif Oh,

128
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: that's right, he got the he was at one thirty

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: five at the regulation he got over and overtime buck fifty.

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I just say, you know, it's

131
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: just kind of a it's in his hands. What are

132
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: you showing over here for showing the guy's pulling on

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: his shoulder. It got the ball in his hand, but

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: he has an elbow on his shoulder. How how was

135
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: that not defender? Oh? Manly, this is ridiculous. We have

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: we gotta get to headlines. We gotta get to matchups.

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: We're getting to buy low candidates. By the way, still

138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: sign up to play Fantasy check on. I'd still drafted

139
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown in the first round. Okay, at a baby,

140
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's get the top headline. Let's do it.

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: The camera highlights in the world of breaking breaking news.

142
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: Continue to follow breaking news news. All right, how about

143
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. We'll stay in Baltimore. Breshard Perriman has his

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: knie scolpe. He's out in Definitely some interesting details uh

145
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: in that story as well? Am I seeing that that

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: he's trying to get like stem cell researcher done on

147
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: his knee or or something injected into his knee. What

148
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: every time every time I hear that, I think of

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: that episode of Family Guy, y, why are we not

150
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: funding this? I think of the Friday Night Lights when

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: Street goes south of the border to Grant Scotty Porter

152
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: try and get hooked up with some stem cell research

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: fixes back. But yeah, I didn't see that part of

154
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the story. But what do we make of of Peraman's injury?

155
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he was kind of interesting rookie prospect because

156
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: the guy's got believable speed, or at least you did. Um.

157
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: And obviously Joe Flacco has got a really nice deep ball, uh.

158
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: And this it's something kind That's what people always say,

159
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: but I've never liked it. No, it's because he could

160
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: get an amazing amount of air. Well, yeah, but that

161
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: doesn't make it good. That allows defenders to get underneath it.

162
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: He underlike the great path to Jacobe Jones in the playoffs.

163
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: He underthrew that, Um, yes he did. He under throws

164
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of deep balls. You under threw that one

165
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: to Crockett in Week one, I think and I are

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: clearly feisty this morning. Fisty man man coming in the hot.

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Bottom line here is simple. If you were holding on

168
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: a pairmin drop seasonal leagues, take under the curb. Let's

169
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: move on, all right, DeMarco Murray practice is fully Thursday.

170
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, we should address this a little more though,

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: because Steve Smith got hurt. Yeah, probably not like where

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna sit out, but we had to see franchises, boy,

173
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Kamar Aikin, Crocketts. Crockett's hurt right now too. Oh gosh,

174
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: I played Max Williams. By the way. Yeah, do you

175
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: guys pick up any of these other Baltimore wide receivers

176
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: in the somebody has to catch pass. Keep in mind,

177
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: you've got you've got by weeks you know that have

178
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: just started, So potentially Aikin is gonna be a guy

179
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: you pick up if Steve Smith has hurt. But so

180
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: here's here's interesting, an interesting stat and um, Matt money

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Smith on Fantasy Life today. We will probably fight about this,

182
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: but Steve Smith has had six games in his career

183
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: against the Steelers and he's never had eight Fantasy points

184
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: in the game ever, and this is probably the hottest

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: he has ever been going into a game. Don't tell

186
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: me trends can't help you when you're setting your fantasy lineup.

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: He got lucky, he got injured. He didn't do anything

188
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. He was two points. He was

189
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: getting targeted though. Yeah, I don't care if he was targeted.

190
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: He had two points. The reason, the reason, Yeah, the reason.

191
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: The dude, Come on, yeah, I don't know. I don't

192
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't look I like a lot of your trends. Uh.

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: The Steelers stuff like that. Steelers just have held him

194
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: in check in in those games that he's played different coordinators,

195
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: different It's a trend. It doesn't matter. No, No, you're right,

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: hashtag fact. Yes, it is a trend, but it doesn't

197
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: mean it's rooted in reality. It doesn't mean it's rooted

198
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: in facts. It's just it's just what it is, what

199
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: it is, right, It's a fact that in six games.

200
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: He's never had eight coincidence. You know what, if I

201
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: flip a coin six times back here in its heads

202
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: every time, that's a that's a trend coincidence, But you

203
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: know what, it probably won't be. No, but that's anyways.

204
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Marco Murray. Okay, fine, DeMarco

205
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Murray practices fully Thursday, h what do we make of

206
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles backfield, which is quickly becoming quite complicated? The

207
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: first game Murray has where he looks good, trade him

208
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a headache all year long.

209
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: And I didn't like Murray going into the season. I

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: don't like him now from a fantasy perspective. Uh, you

211
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: go from the three headed monster to the two headed

212
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: monster last week, and you had some production from both guys.

213
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Now you're back potentially to the three headed monster. And

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: if you guys look at the touches that Matthews received

215
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: when Murray was playing, they weren't really know yet's like

216
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: what four or five carries. So I don't know that

217
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to go back to that because

218
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Matthews looks pretty good last week. But yeah, man, this

219
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: is just this is just a bad situation. There is

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: not great um in terms of Matthews. Uh, does his

221
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: value take a dip? Or do we think Chip Kelly's

222
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna do well? Look, I mean they ran the ball

223
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: much more effective. Uh in week three, I would be

224
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: really surprised if they didn't continue to feed Ryan Matthews.

225
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised. I don't know feed, but I

226
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: would guess that the touch split is gonna even out

227
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more rather than being so heavily tilted

228
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: in Murray's favor, especially because it's coming back from injury.

229
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Like whether or not they spin the narrative that way

230
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: and it's not like, Wow, Ryan Matthews was clearly more effective,

231
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: and they're like, we don't want to rush DeMarco back,

232
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: but I think the touches are gonna be even down

233
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And how much does each guy

234
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: get them? I don't know. I'm not enough. I'm still

235
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: sorry to start either. I'm not gonna say it's fifty fifty.

236
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean i'd say seventy thirty. They paid de Marco

237
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot of money, bunch of money, and not as

238
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: much as DeMarco, and they again structured is it's essentially

239
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: a one year deal. I don't think in this year

240
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, because they're not invested in

241
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: a long term. That's why it doesn't matter whether or

242
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: not they they Also, if he looks good for how

243
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: much is chip Kelly gonna make If he's out of

244
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: a job, he's going to start the guy that helps

245
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: him wine well. Chip Kelly was also probably a big

246
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: component proponent of bringing bringing Murray into the into the

247
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: organization too, so he doesn't want to watch that. He

248
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: shown a lot of loyalty to guys. By the way,

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: and by the way, I mean, don't tell me they're

250
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: not that they're not invested. He had twenty one million

251
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed James out of forty that's an investment. I

252
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: agree with it. They're signing bonus one year deal for

253
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: like six million. Come on, dude, DeMarco has got a

254
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: good agent. What can we say? You know he does

255
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: one year deal or twenty six million dollars is basically

256
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: what you're looking at right now. You're gonna play him,

257
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: all right, So give me some fantasy advice, fabs. I

258
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: just told you Mury is someone you almost have to

259
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: play him. If he's active. I mean you invested a

260
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: second round picking him, probably, but again, wait for that

261
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: big game he has and then cut ties get rid

262
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: of him. I would murray the guy. I would be

263
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: trying to trade Jimmy Graham's A guy would be trying

264
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: to trade Jeremy Macklans. A guy would be trying to trade.

265
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, we move on to Houston another running back,

266
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, a game time decision for the Texans. Adam

267
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Rank has familessly said if he's in, he's playing for

268
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: his roster. I don't know if I I don't know

269
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: if i'd buy that. Um, what do we make of

270
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: the news? Um, obviously they've got a great matchup coming

271
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: up here? So uh, if he does play, what do

272
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: we do with Arian Foster? I'm with Frank, I'm playing

273
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: him fired. Fire him up is not good. Um, And

274
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: Foster is one of the five best fantasy running backs

275
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: in the game, So just take out take fantasy out

276
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: of that. He's one of the five best runk backs.

277
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: And well, I always think fantasy. I know, I don't

278
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, but like, if if he's on

279
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: the field, he's gonna They're not gonna deploy him. If

280
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: he can't take the full workload, they will not risk him.

281
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: So you would think, yeah, if they deem him like

282
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: healthy enough to play, I'm playing him. Yeah, there's no

283
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: way I do not start him. The guy's got like

284
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: three quarters of a growing left. I mean, am I

285
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: he has been did you not watch Hard Knocks, Working

286
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: Hard James. He's trying to come back and he's been.

287
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: He's been on the shelf for like what six seven

288
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: long times now, A long time, long time. He's uh,

289
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: he's getting ready, He's getting ready. I'm excited. I don't know.

290
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I've got him in a couple of leagues and I

291
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: can't wait. Dude, I have him, I thinking, I think

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: I have him in five leagues out of my eight,

293
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: four or five. I don't know why I'm the only

294
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: person concerned about his injury. Well, look, he could get

295
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: injured again, I mean absolutely, but you get him back.

296
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Gosh if he's if he's on the field, he's dynamite

297
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy. I'm I'll be I'll just go on record

298
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: and say, even if he plays, I put him on

299
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: the bench. But that's just who would you who would

300
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: you start? Murray Er say Foster plays and Murray plays

301
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: this week? Would DeMarco Murray or Arian Foster? Oh? Good lord?

302
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Who would you start? Uh? Wow? Um okay. If I

303
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: had to choose between those two options, I will go

304
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: with Ariyan Foxx. Between those two those are not great options.

305
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Those are what Arian Foster is not a great option.

306
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: If he's active man, he's playing Atlanta, Yeah, I know

307
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: it's great. Yeah, but they feel his groin is in

308
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: good shape if they if they play him, yeah, I agree,

309
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Like they're not gonna put him out there hobbled. They're not. Yeah,

310
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: but here's the thing, the guys played hobbled before. Whatever

311
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: we move on anyways, Uh, Lashawn McCoy, Sammy Watkins likely

312
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: out for the Bills. Uh. I love this question. Is

313
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin startable? Yes, he absolutely is, because he's already

314
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: got a little thing going there with with Tyrod Taylor.

315
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I think Harvard's a three flex. I know it sounded

316
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: ridiculous when I when I wrote it in the runtown,

317
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: but I was actually in a pinch. And I forget

318
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: if it was the twelve or fourteen team league. I

319
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: mean I had to start Harvan last week because, like

320
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers were like, and Andre Johnson like, I'm not

321
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: starting you and I had some other people had to

322
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: pick up up and start him. But if Watkins is out,

323
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna leave more targets to go to. Uh, go

324
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: to Harvan. I feel like this is a Chris Hogan game.

325
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: You feel like it's seven eleven. I feel I don't

326
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: know why he had his game last week. Didn't get

327
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: to touchdown and that touchdown dud. I don't know. I

328
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: think he did, he got a touchdown, he did well.

329
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: There you go. So I feel like I feel like

330
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Hogan game part two. I'm not

331
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: sure har Harvin is the most targeted wide receiver on

332
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bills to this season. They've actually been They've actually

333
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: been trying to get him some work, all right? I

334
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: like it, Um, should we move on? Or is there

335
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: anything else we wanted to? Oh, Carlos Williams, Carlos get

336
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: to him down there as well. But uh, I mean

337
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: he's he got to start him. If you've got him

338
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: quite sits I've got him in my top ten running

339
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: backs this week, the only running back this year's scored

340
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown in all three games. He's also like

341
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: what the eleventh running back right now in fantasy and

342
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: barely getting any Garris amazing, So McCoy on the field.

343
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: If he gets the full workload, look out, it's gonna

344
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: be a great game. He's gonna be owned everywhere in DFS.

345
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: But he's kind of a guy you gotta be in

346
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be a huge bargains here. Right. But

347
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: here's the thing, because the fantasy gods are always cruel.

348
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, does uh does he completely flop this week

349
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: because we are all over him? I hope not. I

350
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: hope not. I remember a couple of weeks ago, Well

351
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: we said that about Drew Brees in week two and

352
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: he's playing the Buccaneers and he's stunk. So I mean

353
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm starting him, and that the numbers in the matchups

354
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: say Williams is a really good play in traditional Fantasy.

355
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: In DF DFS, it doesn't matter. But there is one

356
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: thing that you have to remember. Nothing is guaranteed, and

357
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: the Fantasy gods are cruel. He'll get down there inside

358
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: the very they'll put Anthony Dixon in. Don't don't put

359
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: that stuff in the Universe franchise. I don't do that

360
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: you know it will happen. Come on, man, come on, man,

361
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going Williams all week. Andrew Luck doesn't throw

362
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday dealing with some shoulder issues. Obviously, he

363
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: struggled out of the gates. He's had one good quarter

364
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: out of what what's four times three twelve? One good

365
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: quarter out of twelve? Um, what do we make in

366
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: the news? How worried are you? Are we going full

367
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Jodie Foster panic room here? Well, I mean, we've got

368
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: to see what happens today. I mean, if he he's

369
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: limitat or doesn't, then I'm worried that I'm taking him

370
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: out of start him and sid him and uh replacing

371
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: him with somebody else, because then you've got an issue.

372
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: But if we hear reports on Friday that hey, he practiced,

373
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: he threw, everything's okay, then it's business as usual with

374
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. But boy, I mean, Matt Hasselbeck is not

375
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: exactly gonna light the world on fire, and that that

376
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: makes the guys like you know, t Y and Uhn

377
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: Creef a little less attractive this week. And I like,

378
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: that's why I put this on here, is because I'm

379
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: concerned and I know this is a case where we

380
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, with the like DeMarco, you

381
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: invest in the first or second round picking Luck, but

382
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: he hasn't thrown Thursday or Wednesday, and if he's limited

383
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: again on Friday, given how much their offenses struggled, I'm

384
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: probably getting him out because hopefully, if you, hopefully, if

385
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: you have Luck, you have picked up somebody else. Dalton

386
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, I'd start them all above Luck this week

387
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: if he's danged up again, That's how the mighty have fallen.

388
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: So I'm of the mind where when it comes to

389
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: situations like this, I would rather I'm very risk averse.

390
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I know, Luck could drop six touchdowns and five yards

391
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars, but if his shoulder is injured, he

392
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: could just as easily lay a huge egg. I'd rather

393
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather take what I'm gonna get with those other

394
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: guys than than have that risk reward with Luck. Luck

395
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: start to the season is like the prime example of

396
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: how we think we know things and in the end

397
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: of the day, we don't really know things. Sometimes. You know, Yeah,

398
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: because no one predicted that in a million years that

399
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Luck was going to be this ineffective and score this

400
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: few points in his first three games. So the Jaguars

401
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: as well, uh, tremendous pass rush? Are they getting sneck

402
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: sin Derek Marks? Is he? Is he healthy? Good to go?

403
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: We don't even know. The bottom line is the Jaguars

404
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: got a pretty good pass rushing, especially when he's in there.

405
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: Um And obviously what we've seen from the Colts thus

406
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: far is that they haven't really been able to protect

407
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback too too well. Man, I hesitate to to

408
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: say bench luck if he's if he's limited in practice today,

409
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: but I could certainly understand it. I could definitely understand

410
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: the thought process behind that, especially if you've got a

411
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: guy like Tyrod Taylor, who is right now what a

412
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: top five fantasy quarterback? And yeah, you know the drop

413
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: what's what really is the drop off? But man, that's

414
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think. But it's like, if that's the

415
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: world we're in right now, as you said, one good

416
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: quarter out of twelve, that's pretty crazy, alright a quarter. Yes,

417
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: today's Friday. We got Sunday games coming up, wants super

418
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: super early on Sunday as well as uh as they

419
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: go across upond over to London. Let's talk about some

420
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: matchups that excite us. And we'll start with Carolina taken

421
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: on Tampa Bay. Whiz, what do you like there? Well, uh, Fabs,

422
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: I think you had Cam as your start of the week.

423
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistake right at quarterback, He's got a

424
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: great situation this week. Ted Ginn could actually be a

425
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: sneaky sneaky in league. I'm playing him in our dynasty.

426
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: I think I have to start him in the league

427
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: as well. And for me, I know it's hyping j

428
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: ste a lot in the off season. This is like

429
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: the last straw. He's also not practicing, so that was

430
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: they said that was mostly veteran rest. He did that

431
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: last week. Let me tell you, Yeah, he's been because

432
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: he's had some good matchups that he hasn't been able

433
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: to exploit yet. If he can't do it to Tampa Bay,

434
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: then yeah, yeah, no, that's why this is. This is

435
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: this is Jay Stew's last stand and uh if he

436
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get it going this week, then I

437
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: might even consider like dropping him in some league. In

438
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: six career games against Tampa Bay, sixteen touchdowns, six rushing, Yeah,

439
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: owns them. But that's just a trend that doesn't matter. Actually, well,

440
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: actually that's actually solid trend because the head coach has

441
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: actually been there for that long and those games, actually

442
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator has been the same. Okay, head coach has

443
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: him in the same I like that you're arguing against yourself.

444
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: Fabs no because but no, because it doesn't know you're

445
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: saying that, well that the head coach is the same,

446
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been for Cam's whole career. Hasn't been

447
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: the same coach hasn't been the same offensive coordinator either.

448
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: Cam has been a beast the last two games too.

449
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: He's just he's he's scoring more points than anyone in

450
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. And Jonathan Stewart has been dined up,

451
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with a neat ailment, and we've seen

452
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: his usage rate actually to claim quite a bit. I

453
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: think he was in seventy of the offensive snaps in

454
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: week one. UH. In Week two it was down to

455
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: sixty percent. It doesn't sound like huge drop off except

456
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: for the fact that Mike Tolbert is seeing a heck

457
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: of a lot more snaps. It's a six. It was

458
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: a sixty forty split UH in week one in terms

459
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: of how many offensive snaps they saw not how many carries,

460
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: but how many offensive snaps they saw. I wonder if

461
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: we see that trend continue now we do. The other

462
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: thing with uh Tolbert is that he also is arently

463
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: dealing with some minor injuries as well. I didn't know

464
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: if you actors today or not, but uh, I know

465
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: that Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tilbert we're dealing with injuries

466
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: all throughout practice this week. So that's something that we're

467
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: gonna be watching very very closely. All right, let's talk

468
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: about um, Derek Carr a C d C as the

469
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Raider fans like to call him, the great nickname by

470
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: the way, And well it's absolutely great. All right. They're

471
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: taking on Chicago, which is I think, to be fair,

472
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: I think they're in rebuilding mode. That's the that's the

473
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: PC term to say, the euphemism for utter fire sale

474
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: going on there in Chicago. Um, what do we make

475
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: of that matchup? What do we like? Um? I mean,

476
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: obviously Derek Carr is looking like a great matchup. Marie

477
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: Cooper looks like a great matchup. Uh, Latavious Murray looks

478
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: like a great matchup as well. Um, is there anybody

479
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: else that we're missing here Crabtree. He's been getting a ton.

480
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: I think he has the most red zone targets on

481
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: that team. I haven't turned into touchdowns yet, but at

482
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: some point Harmon mentioned it in one of his articles

483
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: this week. It's gonna regress back to the mean, and

484
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna to get one of those red zone touches

485
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: in or one of the red zone targets, and it's

486
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: gonna I have him in the top twenty five. Like

487
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: he said, Oh yeah, he's a great starter this week

488
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: in fantasy, and a lot of people aren't probably putting

489
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: that together in their heads because he didn't really have

490
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: that great of a game last week. He's actually got

491
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: more targets than a Marie Cooper this year. Really, there

492
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: you go, thirty three to thirty one, Derek Carr. If

493
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr could actually throw to some Fantasy relevant players

494
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: inside the end zone, that would be great. I would

495
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, the old Seth Roberts Andrea Holmes dynamic

496
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Seth Roberts touchdowns this year, I mean, by the way,

497
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: since those were that helped no one, no one touchdowns.

498
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: How about Michael Campanaro running Oh my god, last night,

499
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't even get the point. Was that not the

500
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: most that helps? No, any moment of all. I mean literally,

501
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: because it wasn't even a Flacco throw. I ventured to

502
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: guess he was zero point zero started in all NFL

503
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: Michael Campanero and for set and get the points, and

504
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: Flacco exactly as gets Yeah, is there anybody in Chicago

505
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: other than the mat for to that that you would play?

506
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: Tells Bennett tells Bennett definitely, Martell has Bennett. If Alshon

507
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Jeffrey is active, I mean, you've got to be pretty

508
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: deep at wide receiver to to sit him. Although I

509
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: don't really expect too much. It looks like Jimmy Clawson

510
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: is going to be the quarterback, so that value Clawson

511
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: is still gonna because I know Cutler was coming back

512
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: to practice but not quite ready yet. Right once you're

513
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: hearing right, I I would think Friday today will will

514
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: be the deciding factor. What just color get in in

515
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: terms of practice reps. If he gets in any and

516
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: then we'll see what happens from there. And if if

517
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: Clawson's starting, Oakland d is a sneaky stream option even

518
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: if he's not, I think you're right, Yeah, Yeah, that's

519
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: a good call. Butler, you know, it's not like he

520
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball. But Martel's Bennett. I mean Oakland's

521
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: defense hooked you up with the danger zone pick last

522
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: week for Gary Barnage. They allowed yards and five touchdowns

523
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: to tight end three weeks. What is martellis Bennett gonna do? Uh? Boy? Yeah,

524
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's interesting. Maybe maybe for danger Zone on Sunday,

525
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: maybe I look at the backup tight end for Chicago?

526
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: Is that bear Pasco? I don't know. Does bear Pasco

527
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: jump in there? Is he? Am? I making a case

528
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: for bear Pasco and danger Zone? We'll find out. How

529
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: dare you Dallas New Orleans? Uh? It was to start

530
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: the season, a very interesting matchup on a romo Drew

531
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: Brees Prime Time. What happened? What happened? Sadness? Shout out

532
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: to Adam Rank because he said, this is the the

533
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: Dallas Tribute band versus the New Orleans Tribute. Well, Breeze

534
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: might play. Yeah, that's true. Everything Breeze is saying, he's

535
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: he like intends on playing. I don't. I don't believe it.

536
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. So you can't wait. You have

537
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: to start someone ahead of him. Unless you're willing to

538
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: like start Matt Stafford if you have him and Breeze,

539
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: and I want to do that. We're getting crushed on

540
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: like big late game injuries coming down to the wire

541
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: through the a couple of weeks. Marshawn Lynch on Monday

542
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: Night Football this week, and now we got Breeze on

543
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Like, come, I don't think you can play Breeze.

544
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: And you know what's gonna happen is that he's gonna

545
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: throw for like three fifty and three touchdowns. Everyone's got

546
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: him on their bench because Dallas, like you said, that's

547
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: on the pot. I think last week they've been pretty

548
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: good against quarterbacks that don't have the demigod Julio Jones

549
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: to throw too. Uh so you gotta they would play

550
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: pretty well against a banged up Drew Brees in that offense.

551
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: But of course, like you said, Fads, this is when

552
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: right because the unexpected uh happens, Brandon Cooks gets like

553
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: two and twenty yards. Well, I'm starting him because you're

554
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 1: starting Cooks this week. I've continued to start him because well,

555
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: number one, you the depth. No, I mean last week

556
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: he had fourteen points in a PPR league and a

557
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of my leagues, your PR leagues. I'll take him there. Um,

558
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't like to play in standard leagues. If if I,

559
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: if I can help it, I'd prefer to play in PPR.

560
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: But um, yeah. The problem is that unless we hear

561
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: definitively that Breeze is playing on Sunday night, I don't

562
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: see how you can start him. Here's the real question.

563
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Why do you hate quarterbacks? I don't. I don't you

564
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: prefer PPR in demand situation? Why do you hate quarterbacks?

565
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Right now, people who

566
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: drafted Jeremy Hill and C. J. Anderson and well before

567
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: last night, justin for set are having a hell of

568
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: a time trying to replace those guys, and they can't

569
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: because there's not enough depth at running back. On the

570
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: waiver wire, people who drafted Romo and Breeze and Roethlisberger say,

571
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: guess what I'm getting. I'm getting Andy Dalton and I'm

572
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: getting Derek Carr. All of a sudden, there's guys that

573
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: are all the waiver wire who are amazing players. That's why,

574
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we could spend an hour talking about this,

575
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Listen. Uh. In terms of Joe Randall, Um,

576
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: I got a really interesting Twitter question, Uh, somebody asking me,

577
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I've got Jeremy Hill. I'm thinking about training and for

578
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Joe Randall, it's a pretty fair deal. It's a fair

579
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: deal at least on paper. But I know most I

580
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: think most experts right would say no, don't do it.

581
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: But I'm starting to I'm starting to say that's a

582
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: are trade to turn down after last week. Yeah, anybody

583
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna anyone taking a strong stance on Jeremy Hill here, Well,

584
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: I'd rather keep Hill. Yeah. I like Hill's upside a

585
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: lot better. I would stick with him at this point.

586
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: And you know me, I've been like the Joe Randall

587
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: guy here. Absolutely, Um, I'd probably still stick with with

588
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Hill at this point. Man, it's getting hard, I'll tell

589
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: you what. It's getting really difficult to argue that side though,

590
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: to get really really difficult to argue. Here's the thing

591
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I will say to give to give people hope, is that, um,

592
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: it's not time to jump ship yet because we've only

593
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: been through. We've only been through three weeks, and like

594
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: last year, at this time, Jeremy Hill was the RB

595
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: twenty something C. J. Anderson was the RB sixty something,

596
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey was the RB fifty something. They all finished

597
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: in the top eleven. There you go, so like they

598
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: could very easily get hot later. There's a lot of seas.

599
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey had a terrible start of this season. Yeah,

600
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Like six week, people were basically asking the same questions

601
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: about Lacey last year that they're asking us about Anderson

602
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: and Hill now exactly. That's That's why I tweeted it

603
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: out and I put it in uh the Trade Calls

604
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: article this week because I argued about trading for Hill

605
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: or Anderson because their owner is undoubtedly although I'm more

606
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about Anderson, I'd be more worried about

607
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Anderson too, like I I would. I would absolutely trade

608
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: Anderson to get Joe Randall Right now, all right, let's

609
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: talk about some matchups that scary though. The Lions taken

610
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks in Seattle not looking great. Calvin Johnson,

611
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: what are expectations for make a Trump? Well, Um, he

612
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: hasn't had a great start of the year either, although

613
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: last week in PPR he was he was pretty good.

614
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: The last two weeks he's been targeted a ton, right

615
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: and you would think that's going to continue. And you

616
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: would also think, if you're trying to project gameflow, the

617
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: trade is probably gonna be throwing a lot in the

618
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: second half because I don't know that Seattle is not

619
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: going to jump on them early. So you don't start Stafford. No,

620
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: no chance, you don't start Stafford, you start Calvin. I

621
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: say double a is probably a flex, especially with I

622
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: mean joy bellst nothing. Why are they even playing him?

623
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: They still they said this week Jim just not there yet,

624
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: but we'll get up playing him. But a sleeper, a

625
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: sleeper in Detroit that I would start this week is

626
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron. Seattle's defense is good, not good against tight ends.

627
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: Look at the numbers over the last year plus, we

628
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: saw Antonio Gates go for three touchdowns. I would certainly

629
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: start uh Ebron. And then on the flip side, the

630
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: big question mark is Okay, you know, you know you're

631
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: starting Graham, you know you're starting Russell Wilson. But Marshawn Lynch.

632
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: And I said this on NFL Fantasy Live. I have

633
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: a source who's close to the Seahawks who told me

634
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: that he was really surprised that Lynch didn't play last

635
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: week that typically when he's banged up and uh, he's

636
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced, he can still get in there and play

637
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't might be a window into

638
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: a look at well, maybe he's really not healthy at

639
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: this point. And I know the Seahawks like Thomas Rawls.

640
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: So if you don't have Rawles on your roster, you

641
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: can't play Lynch. You can't play him because unless you

642
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: also have a mirror dula say, and then you can

643
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: plug ubdulah in instead of Lynch, then you're you're risking

644
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: a zero. I usually do game tape um on guys

645
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: like Thomas Rolls, Uh if they just pop up out

646
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: of note. I haven't seen game tape of him yet.

647
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know nothing. He's good. Of Thomas Rowles,

648
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: he's good. He was an undrafted free agent that they

649
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: really loved and he got a lot of he got

650
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot of run in the preseason. Uh, and he

651
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: he looks good. He's strong, he's quick, you know, he's young,

652
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: and uh he fits their scheme. Well, that's why they

653
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: were able to get rid of Robert Turban and Kristen

654
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: Michael this obviouseason because they believed in Rawles, and he

655
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: proved it this past week when he had to come

656
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: in and take the lead role. He got a hundred

657
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: four yards UM. I was actually surprised though that Fred

658
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Jackson didn't get any burn at all. I was very

659
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: surprised by that. UM. I think when the injury news

660
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: came out that Marshawn was dealing with a calf or

661
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: whatever it was last week, I think there was a

662
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: big rush to go get fred Jazz absolutely and he did.

663
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he just saw no usage whatsoever moving forward.

664
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Do you still see him getting no burn and and

665
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls getting a lot of worker? Will that be

666
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 1: more you know, equitable moving forward? I think an think

667
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: anything is possible. But based on what we saw last week,

668
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: Rawls looks like a guy who's going to see the

669
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: ball set the time out of the backfield if Lynch

670
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: can't play hard. By the way, I was just gonna

671
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna say, I think fred

672
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: Jackson is more of like a third down passing guy,

673
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: like if they're if they're behind and need to you know,

674
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: if they're trying to play catch up a little bit,

675
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: fred Jackson will get more. Looks right, because I think

676
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: why Rawles got so much run last week two was

677
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: the game scripts he was in and they were up

678
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: the entire time. They had no reason to pass on

679
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: third down or go deep or Fred Jackson would be

680
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: in there for a check down or run a route

681
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: so that it could even out more. But it Rawles

682
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: is the guy that's gonna get it between the tackles. Um.

683
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: By the way, Matt Stafford, he's got to be a

684
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: drop at this point. No, yeah, I mean, if you've

685
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: got another quarterback that you can play, I'm always interested

686
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: in seeing these Matt Stafford versus fill in the blank quarterback.

687
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: I always picked fill in the blank quarterback, whoever might

688
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: be Brandon Weedon, who's he played this week? Look McCown,

689
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, Josh McCown, I'll take Josh McCown over Matt Jefford.

690
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: WHOA I might be with you. I mean the look,

691
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: the numbers aren't great, they're not scoring a lot of touchdowns.

692
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: Injured right now too, he's dinged up. I don't know, man,

693
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't believe in the offense at all. I've been

694
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a very vocal um. Look, I think he's I think

695
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: I think the guy called well up there in uh

696
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: in Detroit's a fine real life head coach. But this

697
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: is where fantasy and real life differ, right. Like in fantasy,

698
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: he just doesn't put up stats period um. And I

699
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: don't like the way the offenses run. I know that

700
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: they try to cater a little bit more towards their defense.

701
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: He's more of a defensive minded dude. That's fine, that's great.

702
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: You can win the ball game tonight. I'm not saying that,

703
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: but I know it's all we want, and I say

704
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: it on this podcast every week. He actually gets seventeen

705
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: touches and then their offense gets sparked, and like I

706
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: was surprised. Hey, let's talk about this London game very quickly,

707
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Miami versus the Jets. Um. The London games have tended

708
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: to be kind of ugly. Yes, Um, do we think

709
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: this breaks the trender? No? Probably not. I don't like

710
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Dolphins in this game. I really don't. No, no, no,

711
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: no no. Um. I guess you're playing Jarvis Landry in

712
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: a PPR. But in the standard league does does Landry

713
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: get the rivas treatment? I'm really worried. So I just

714
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: heard because he's more of a slot guy in Rivas

715
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really I mean, he doesn't cover the slot often.

716
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: I even benched I bench Landry in our Dynasty league,

717
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a PPR league. I just did

718
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: not I did not like this set up at all

719
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: for him. Tannehill has been a disappointment. Lamar has been

720
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: a disappointment. Uh, Landry has been the only startable guy.

721
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan Cameron hasn't really done a whole much

722
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: of anything. So this is a in fantasy terms, this

723
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: is a Jets game. Yeah, this is Brandon Marshall. Uh,

724
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: this is the Jets defense. He's been back to practicing

725
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: in full this week, so I think he's a guy

726
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: you can deploy. Know. It sucks though about that is

727
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: like you have to wake up so early to find

728
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: to figure out whether or not he's gonna play or

729
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: not because it's the out here at on the East

730
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: coast or well stay up yeah huh uh yeah, you

731
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: can hit the bars, you know, go home while we're

732
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: not we're not advising that. Watch a little NFL fancy

733
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: live replay. Yeah it replays it like what eleven o'clock

734
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: out here? Am on that? Right? But yeah, that and

735
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: then you know set your line up, match up. Matchup

736
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: is pretty good. So if I can get out there

737
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: and play that The thing that I worry about is

738
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: that he's gonna split work with b PO until he's

739
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: percent because the match up is definitely good. That the

740
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: best start in this game is is Marshall marsh And

741
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: And we may have thought differently three weeks ago because

742
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense was supposed to be so good, and

743
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, Marshall was supposed to take a step down

744
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and the opposite has happened. Um, I

745
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: will say this deep sleeper and this was This was

746
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: a player featured on Danger Zone on Wednesday, Devin Smith.

747
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: He got nine targets in his first game back. Remember

748
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: he had a partially punctured lung. It's not like he

749
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: was dealing with a lower leg ailment or back or

750
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: shoulder or anything. It was freak injury, no doubt about it.

751
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: And um, when he came back, he was ready to

752
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: rock and roll. That kind of depends on Decker's status,

753
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: though I would agree. I would agree. I don't think

754
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: it sounds like Decker is gonna puckers a game time decision.

755
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: I think he's dinged up either way, right, So, like,

756
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: I think Devin Smith does get out there, even if

757
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: Decker is a surprising start. I don't think he plays

758
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps because you know, again he's still

759
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: trying to come back from injury. Uh. Devin Smith is

760
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: an interesting guy because he was a legit home run

761
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: threat at Ohio State, and that's something this offense desperately needs.

762
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: I love Brandon Marshall and his chemistry with with Fitzpatrick,

763
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: but boy, he's not that burner who goes down the sideline.

764
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: Devin Smith is that guy, and he definitely adds another

765
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: dimension to the offense. And that's what I really like

766
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: about him. Look, is he gonna put up a huge

767
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: He's boomed. I mean, you want to talk about boomer bust,

768
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: This dude is boom er bust. He's gonna either catch uh,

769
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: you know, he's either going to catch a deep one

770
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: for touchdown or he's not. But what I liked about

771
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: it though, was the fact that he got nine targets. Yeah,

772
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: that was first game. The volume was good to see.

773
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't mind the Devin Smith player.

774
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: I was excited when the Jets drafted him because, like

775
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: you said Marshall and Decker. Are those big body, good

776
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: possession guys to run all things in the intermediate send

777
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: seven Devin Smith. Deep, let's see what happens. What are

778
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: we doing with lit Lamar Miller Benjam benchon him? Are

779
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: you doing that against the Jets defense? That's rough? That

780
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: was the Placemar right rough Man. Um. The only problem

781
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: with with that. And I know we say a bench

782
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, but it's like you start right

783
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: like what are your other you know? But you know,

784
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: I will say this though with Lamarr, Lush, Williams, sure,

785
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,479
Speaker 1: Vonta Freeman. Um, I will say this though the Jona

786
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: is great, play is starting to scare He's injured. Now

787
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: he's hurt? Is he? Yeah, he's hurt? Oh gosh, backfield,

788
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: it's just a rack Man good U Tannehill? No, no, no, no, okay, alright,

789
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: we're moving on. Like I could think of three quarterbacks

790
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: that weren't drafted that I'd start over Tannehill this week

791
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: at least. Any concern over Adrian Peterson versus a very

792
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: stout Denver defense, I'm not really I mean, you're starting

793
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna bench him. But like I'm very

794
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: curious to watch this game to see to see what happens. Yep,

795
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: but regardless, right, you gotta start Peter Seterson's Peterson's place,

796
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: liking she's playing for you, I mean, don't don't expect

797
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: maybe a world like dominating performance from Peterson again, like

798
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: it's what did you have? A hundred and some yards

799
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns last week? By the way, the slide

800
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: for Teddy Bridgewater will most likely continue this week against Jenniverer.

801
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: Who's got I mean just a ferocious pass rush and

802
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: two great cornerbacks and two great cornerbacks. So that's why

803
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what happens in this game. Vikings.

804
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: Receivers haven't done much at all this yeries, this this

805
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: game could be a ten to six game in all

806
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: honesty with these defenses. That's not great, alright, how about

807
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: all the rams, all of your rams, Todd Gurley, Trey Mason. Uh,

808
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: how many people are starting Nope against the Cardinals man

809
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: and Claire, Okay, get out of here, Ryan quick. I

810
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: think the one rand that might get started in like

811
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: a deeper league is maybe Jared Jared Cook. I mean,

812
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: but that's it, man, And even that's a stretch. Ye, no,

813
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: stay off of this one. Also, we jumped one the

814
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: Washington backfield against the Eagles. You know, here's the thing.

815
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is why we're saying this matchups that scares.

816
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: But like I mean Matt Jones hype tracks, it's also

817
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna be, isn't. The weather is supposed to be horrible.

818
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: Well so it was supposed to be. Uh if this

819
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: is in d C. It was supposed to be. But

820
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: it looks like the hurricane has moved up very very low,

821
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: pr very low percentage of hitting Washington, the Washington, d C. Area.

822
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I've been advising people watch the

823
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: weather tracker in that in that game. We're not exactly

824
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: sure how it's gonna affect the East coast. But um,

825
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: it looks like Washington, d C. Will be clear for Sunday.

826
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna get pelted, uh Friday and Saturday. But the

827
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: storm I believe is moving up. That's what I saw

828
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: this morning. So the winds will still be higher than average,

829
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be you know, we're not talking

830
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: about gusts of like forty or fifth but yeah, like

831
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: this backfield is a mess right now, I can't start

832
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: anybody in it. By the way, if you if you

833
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: do have any fantasy players on the East coast, uh,

834
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: just uh that storm is centered somewhere in the northeast.

835
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: Just take a look at the weather. Uh, you know,

836
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: and if if your guys are being affected, just know

837
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: that if you're kind of choosing between two guys, you know,

838
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: the weather can make a factor, especially for receivers, for sure.

839
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: All Right, anything else, Casey first, Cincinnati, anything, anybody call Charles? No,

840
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not starting Maclin again. I'm not. I might,

841
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: I think I got I think I have to start

842
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: Macklin and so I mean whatever, I just hope for

843
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: the about if if Maclean's I mean Maclean's a low

844
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: wind wide receiver too, yeah, low wind wide receiver. Three. Yeah,

845
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: he's not. He's had he's played twelve quarters and had

846
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: two actually two good ones, and it was total garbage time.

847
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: That's why I trade him. Uh, I don't, I can't.

848
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: I can't get into Macklin in this game. I'm starting Kelsey,

849
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: You're starting Charles. But I mean, did I bring this

850
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: up on the last podcast that that Alex the Alex

851
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: stat that Scott Kasmer from Football Outsiders has compiled so

852
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: he looked at this stat and this is an amazing stat.

853
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: It's and he called it Alex because it's air less

854
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: expected yards. It's how far away from the first down

855
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: sticks on a third down a quarterback targets is wide receiver.

856
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: You know most of them, they probably won't go towards it,

857
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: some go, some go past. It's usually around the sticks.

858
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, on average throws the ball ten yards behind

859
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: the first down mark on third down. How is he

860
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: supposed How are we supposed to believe in a downfield

861
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: receiver like Jeremy macklan when Alex Smith throws it ten

862
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: yards behind sticks? That We saw this against Green Bay.

863
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: It was third and nine and they ran a five

864
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: yards swing pass to d' anthony Thomas five years behind

865
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I don't know, you steen yards

866
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: away from the first town. It's absolutely ridiculous. What that

867
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: also tells you, though, is that Casey's in a lot

868
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: of third and longs um and that's not good. But

869
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. For some reason, Look, I just

870
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: believe in the talent level. Jeremy Macklin is an extremely

871
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: talented wide receiver. He can run every route. You're right,

872
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: he's a deep guy. But you know what, he also

873
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: isn't scared to run underneath either. Um. You know who

874
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: is talented to Randy Moss, and when he was in Oakland,

875
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: he couldn't do a thing. So sometimes the situation supersedes talent.

876
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: I would agree, Alex. It just makes me sad. Alex

877
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: Smith is the is the killer for Jeremy Man again.

878
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: And and you know I've said this, Yeah, well Alex

879
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: Smith too. But looking back, Andy Reid, what was it

880
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: fifteen years in Philadelphia front and years? It was fourteen

881
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: years in Philadelphia nine times his leading wide receiver didn't

882
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: have a thousand yards nine times his offense funnels through

883
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: the running back. That's why Jamal gets all the work.

884
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: And Brian why sprooked today for the Eagle. Even look

885
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: at the Sean Jackson one really good year with Philadelphia

886
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: under Andy Reid. His other best years have been uh

887
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: in last year in Washington, Terrell Owens obviously had some

888
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: decent years there. Ards that was the most wide receiver

889
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: has ever had? Was that that Super Bowl year? Not

890
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: to get too off topic, yes it was okay, Donovan

891
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: McNab And you can't blame the quarterbacks either, because he

892
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: had McNab, Michael Vick when he was really good, right,

893
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: or Mike Vick. I'm sorry, Mike, he's Mike Vick. We

894
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: got La, Mike James, Mike Vick, Corey Philly Steve Brown.

895
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: What's the name of these days? I don't know. I

896
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: don't know. We call we'll call him Philly Brown. Well,

897
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: we'll call him Philip. Well, maybe we don't call him

898
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: Philip Brown until he actually does something. Yeah, that'd be nice.

899
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: But no, actually actually did catch a touchdown and we

900
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: two didn't he I think? So? Is he from Philly?

901
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Is that why he's Philly Brown? I don't remember what

902
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: we should invest went to Ohio State the source of

903
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: the nickname? Yeah, I don't know. Anyways. Uh. The other

904
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: thing with this this Kansas City Cincinnati game. Kansas City

905
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: has allowed an average of forty four point zero seven

906
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game two opposing wide receivers this year.

907
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: So St. Marvin Jones. Yeah, buddy, guess where bron was born?

908
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: In Philadelphia? There? There you go, there you go. Look

909
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: at that research over there from FABS. He's got sources

910
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: up in Seattle. I know just the Google will get

911
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 1: out of here rap sheet? We got fast? No, definitely

912
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: not all right? Man, should we do daily deaf to

913
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: get out here? But should we hit a couple by

914
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: low can and it's quick and then guess we can.

915
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: We kind of talked about a few, yeah, Jeremy Hill,

916
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: we talked about um al seon Jeffrey. We haven't really

917
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: discussed too much. I liked the whole Mike Evans discussion though.

918
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is one and I wrote about him in

919
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: that Trade Calls piece again too, because he had his

920
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: He was out for week one, very quiet week two,

921
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: and then he had like he had a good game

922
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: on the surface. You just look at the box score,

923
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: like a hundred yards or whatever. Last week he had

924
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: targeted seventeen times seventeen. That's why if his owner didn't

925
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: look at that stat yet and it's just like, oh great,

926
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: he had hundre yards, didn't score touchdown, trade send send

927
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: offers that way because you're gonna get likely top ten

928
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: team might actually be able to get him cheaper after

929
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: this week if he can't get off against Josh Norman.

930
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: That's true. Well, Norman Norman was injured this week. I

931
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: mean that would be the ideal situation as Norman blankets

932
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: Mike Evans another sour week trade for him, and Mike

933
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: Evans had an unbelievable year last year. And um, and

934
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: you know he could only get picked up seventeen yards

935
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: against Josh Norman last year. So it's uh. And and

936
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: I wrote an extensive piece on Josh check it out

937
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: on the dot COM's Boys and Girls and uh, and

938
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do against top flat receivers,

939
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: top end receivers has just been unbelievable. He's he's right there,

940
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: uh statistically speaking with all of the top five top

941
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: ten UH corners in the game in both real life

942
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: and in fantasy. Um, you look at his numbers, they

943
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: compare very nicely h to like Vante Davis and a

944
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: key to leap. I mean, they're right there, they are

945
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: right there. He he really should be considered one of

946
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: these shut down guys that you really need to keep

947
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: an eye on when you got your fantasy wide receiver

948
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: going to get up against Carolina. Uh. Now you mentioned

949
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: this earlier FABS. You would not trade for C. J.

950
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: Anderson right now, you would trade him away? Okay, just

951
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 1: did you just did what league? Uh, in the NFL

952
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: Celebrity League, the Mizzen I made a deal. He uh he,

953
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: I have just ridiculous wide receivers in that league. Like,

954
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: let's put it this way. I just traded him Emmanuel Sanders.

955
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: It's a PPR league, and Jervis Landry is still my three. Well,

956
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: that's not a bad situation. So so I traded him

957
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: Sanders and Anderson. I got back John Brown and mark Ingram.

958
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,959
Speaker 1: So I got the upgraded running back that I wanted.

959
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: And uh, I downgraded a little bit of wide receiver,

960
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: but not terribly No, not bad at all. My starting

961
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers in that league, I believe are Jordan Matthews

962
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones. That's pretty solid. So I'll take that.

963
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: What do you guys think about trying to flip a

964
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: deal from our Tavis Bryant Still I like it me too.

965
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: You could probably get him on the cheap right for peanuts,

966
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: especially with Big Ben being out. But I still think

967
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: when Vick comes back, they're gonna take some Terry Sayward

968
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: Bay was getting targeted too much. I mean that's what

969
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, that's really what it comes out to.

970
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: DHB is fantasy relevant right now? What happens when Martevis

971
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: Bryant comes back. I like it, Like Vic and Brian

972
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: had a connection in the preseason two. I think there

973
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: we go. I'm mistaken, all right there, d h B.

974
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: You know that. That just it's kind of laughable to

975
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: me think about the world, fantasy world we're living in

976
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 1: right now. Ted Ginn and d HB are fantasy relevant

977
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah, buddy, I like it. As you said,

978
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: fab's the only thing that's predictable at the NFL. Is

979
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: this unpredicted? Um? I just wanted to say, though, Andrew Luck,

980
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: trade away or trade four, I think can be had.

981
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: There's an issue. Yeah, so you can't really give you

982
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: a definitive answer on that, but you gotta like the

983
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: upside if you're buying low. Yeah yeah, well as long

984
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: as he's got you know, his wings. Okay, all right,

985
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: So what are you What are you moving for a

986
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: guy like Andrew Luck? You're still gonna have to give

987
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: up a pretty good player. I can see someone it's

988
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: gotta it's gotta be a high end it's gotta be

989
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: a high end player. I mean, if you had, if

990
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: you have, like on that on that level. I mean,

991
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna be giving away a really good player to

992
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: get Andrew Luck if you're not gonna not take value

993
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: for or hopefully you can flip like maybe a wide

994
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: receiver two and an RB two in that range for one,

995
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: do like a two for one. Howbout if you had

996
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: the combination of Carlos Williams and Lashawn McCoy trade those

997
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: two for Luck. I wouldn't. I wouldn't take that if

998
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: I was away. I don't know. You're well, you're you're trading.

999
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: You're trading for a headache. Yeah, You're well, you're trading

1000
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: like one. You're trading like two people that are essentially

1001
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: one running back. Yeah. That's that's like me saying, hey,

1002
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you, uh, you know, take Matt Ryan for

1003
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: Matt Jones and Alfred Morris. I do. I do think

1004
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: this though. I think if you have I think Andrew

1005
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Luck owners out there are certainly if they have a

1006
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: guy um like Matt Ryan on their bench, if they've

1007
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: got a guy like Tyrod Taylor on their bench, I

1008
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: think they're looking move Andrew Luck. That could be. I

1009
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: know that, I'm I know that I've got that very

1010
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: same situation, and I am looking to move a guy

1011
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: like Andrew. Look for what, I'm not exactly sure. It's

1012
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: so hard to get. Yeah, I mean it depends on

1013
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: the people. But throw some offers out there. See what happens.

1014
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: All right, should we should we dap it down with

1015
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:29,759

1020
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,480

00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: sitting between guys with really good hair today. Yeah, there's

1022
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: some strong hair game in the Yeah, not mine, but James.

1023
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, sorry, I don't give my hair for the show.

1024
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: I didn't do my hair. Yeah, but you've got that

1025
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: good like BedHead look right now, James, if only the

1026
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: fans good look. Even Elliott Harrison is jealous of effortless.

1027
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: If you just unbuttoned another button. And I've got to

1028
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: get my protein ship going. We're drinking muscle milk. I'm

1029
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: on the muscle Train. Now, wait a minute, do you

1030
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: do you have a man crush on Harrison? Of course

1031
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: who doesn't. Alright, wait, franchise I got We got a

1032
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: weird hair discussion there, but it was good. I like it.

1033
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: Getting back to my depths, I am giving my depths

1034
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: to drummers out there, the drummers of bands, kids coming

1035
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: up taking lessons um I you know, a dabbling guitar

1036
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. Every time I go to a show,

1037
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm just so impressed by the drummer because I know

1038
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: I will never have the coordination to play that instrument.

1039
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: And I just think drummers everywhere. It's weird because drummers,

1040
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 1: if you ask them about drumming, they don't think about

1041
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: the drumming. I know. It's just kind of like they

1042
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: just it just flows out of there like a machine.

1043
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: It's weird. And two of my buddies, best buddies in college,

1044
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: Robbie and Mike d Adapts to them. They introduced me

1045
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: to a bunch of these bands with sick drummers um

1046
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: in college. Chad Sexton of three eleven, Carter Biuford of

1047
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: Dave Matthews Band, Neil part of Rush, Chad Smith, Red

1048
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers, Travis Barker, Blink two, all those guys

1049
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: inspire a younger generation of kids coming up about learning

1050
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: the instrument. What about Prigden from Money was with our

1051
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: boys to Mars Volta one time at a Mars Volta show,

1052
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: me and my buddy yelled at him that he was

1053
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: a futuristic robot because he just he was so good.

1054
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: He's like an animal. Dude. If you never heard nuts

1055
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: the Mars Volta franchise and I at one time geeked

1056
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: out about them for a while, check them out. They're

1057
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: phenomenal Mars Volta YouTube. Uh yeah, sure, all right, I

1058
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: mean they're they're broken up. Now. Look if if we are,

1059
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: if we're, if we're good for anything, it's not fantasy advice.

1060
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: It is it is good. It is to send you

1061
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: down a good black hole of YouTube videos. Speaking of one,

1062
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: Chad Smith, the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers,

1063
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: strikingly resembles Will Ferrell, and they did a thing I

1064
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: remember that on Jimmy Foul a year or two ago

1065
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: where they had a drum off and it basically was

1066
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: like they look like twins. And also YouTube that I

1067
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: don't mean to keep interrupting your death, but you're kind

1068
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: of wrapping it up just so. On article posted on

1069
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot com, I haven't Colts signed quarterback Josh Andrew

1070
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: Luck status in doubt on the Friday before a game

1071
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: they waved cornerback Sean Prador and signed Josh Johnson. That

1072
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: that is good, huge red flag. So hopefully you stayed

1073
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: until the end of this podcast, because now now let's

1074
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: go around the horn, like I mean, just just off

1075
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: of this news, are you starting Luck? This said I'm

1076
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: still waiting for his status, so might be Josh Johnson's

1077
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: how that's how desperate the streets have gotten that the

1078
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: cults are signing Josh Johnson. What time is that game?

1079
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: That's a one o'clock game, So you can wait until

1080
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: game time. You can wait until game time. I'm used

1081
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: this weekend to try and get enough a quarterback though

1082
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: on your roster should have But I'm in bad shape, guys,

1083
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: I am in bad shape here, just ruined the podcast.

1084
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, let's move on. Alex galhar Wiz

00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: but how about give me some DAPs. Well, speaking of news,

1087
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving my DAP to the Trevor Noah run Daily Show.

1088
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: I've watched the first couple episodes. I didn't catch last

1089
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: night's because I was watching Getting to Bed Early. He's

1090
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: been very good. It's both uh, it's both fresh with

1091
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: his new perspective. But they've kept enough of the old show.

1092
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: Obviously they have other segments. They still kept the moment

1093
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: of his end at the end. He's obviously going to

1094
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: be the moment of Z. That's what I was. I

1095
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: was glad they did the first episode. His first episode

1096
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: is coming to a close, and I'm like, man, I

1097
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: hope they keep the moment his end. So they kept it.

1098
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: But he's got he's got a good perspective. He's got

1099
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: a global perspective. He grew up in you know, South Africa,

1100
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: and so far he's been really great. So I've been

1101
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: I've been impressed, and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be

00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: for the guy, but you want to be the guy

1107
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,880

1110
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: By the way, I feel like we've entered officially a

1111
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: new generation now because late night is totally different for

1112
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: the first time, changing of the guard in decades, right,

1113
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: because I mean just top to bottom, it's just everyone's new. Yeah,

1114
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: I saw something. For the most part, like all of

1115
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: the guys on the main late night shows have been

1116
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: there for like two or three years or less because

1117
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: it's cold bet uh Myers and I mean Falon's been

1118
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: there for a while now, but even then and now

1119
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: he's relatively new. Yeah, you know, no Leno, no Letterman,

1120
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: Chris Stewart, those guys were staples for the last I mean,

1121
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: John Stewart was in the Daily Show does for like

1122
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: seventeen years or something. Leno and Letterman were what years

1123
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: one night to exactly. So for the first time, we

1124
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: we've got a full like just fresh take on late night,

1125
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: which I think it's great. It's awesome. I think it's great. Uh.

1126
00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano dab me, hello, is he trying to That's

1127
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about right there. I was watching your

1128
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: weird little smile as you were on your phone fans,

1129
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: and like, oh, he's trying to cupe something up. My

1130
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: Yankees reached the playoffs for the first time since two

1131
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve. I know it's the playing game and

1132
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: if we lose, we lose, but I did not think

1133
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: the Yanks would even make the playoffs this year. Um,

1134
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: what a troubled fandom. You've lived with it? Well, you guys, forget,

1135
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys stunk for a really long time before last year,

1136
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: so it hasn't been all roses, let's put it that way.

1137
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: But uh, great stuff for the Yankees. They actually have

1138
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot of new guys who haven't made the playoffs

1139
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: on this team, a lot of youngsters, including delln ptanceas uh.

1140
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: Brian mckann and I were texting last night after the

1141
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: game because uh, I had to congratulate him on on

1142
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: making it. Um. Listen, the Yankees are like my first love.

1143
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: You know, I've been a Yankee fans since I was eight.

1144
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were like one A. I started watching baseball

1145
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: first because I come from a family of Italian Yankee fans,

1146
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: and my grandfather, my father all Yankee fans. So it's

1147
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: always good to see the Bombers in the playoffs and

1148
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: when New York teams are in the playoffs in baseball, man,

1149
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: just it's a it's going to be a different kind

1150
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: of field this year. Imagine the Yankees. Can it can

1151
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: meet in the world. Yeah, it can, It's possible. I

1152
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: don't think the Yankees are getting there, and I don't

1153
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: think the Mets are getting either, but I mean, the heck.

1154
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: I remember two thousand, I was actually working at CBS

1155
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: Sports Line in downtown, like five minutes from the Trades

1156
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand before before the Trade Center attack, and um,

1157
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: you know that that's right where they have the paraded champions.

1158
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: It was. It was awesome, that crazy, very cool. I mean,

1159
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be watching any of it because football

1160
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: is on, but listen, like us night posts, baseball is fun,

1161
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: I just at a different time. Yeah, there is something

1162
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: better than postseason baseball. It's called football. Well, I mean,

1163
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: but if the Brewers in the playoffs, you're gonna be

1164
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: paying attack. I would watch those games exactly exactly, so

1165
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: like I'm not watching anything else. Yeah, it's funny how

1166
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: baseball is hyperlocal. All right, I just I like it

1167
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: is fun. There's a great atmosphere. Just put it in

1168
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: like August before football comes. That's that's my quick quick soapbox.

1169
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: Baseball is a summer sport tailgate. Okay, that's your sign.

1170
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: When summers here, kids go to day games because they're

1171
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: out of school. Like when when they have to start

1172
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: the season February. Just take take a few games off,

1173
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: play a few more double headers, like I know they're

1174
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: never going to because there's too much revenue that comes

1175
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: from the games. And they're hundred six games. Oh my god,

1176
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games. Yeah, they need to cut

1177
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: it down to like a hundred and twenty two. Yeah,

1178
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: that would be perfect. That'd be great if these guys

1179
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: a couple extra days off, they're a little fresh, or

1180
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: they're not as jaded by the way. That what also

1181
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: helped the reporters too, because the reporters are so jaded

1182
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: from covering these Yeah, they get salty at the end.

1183
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Baseball beat reporters, I mean that is

1184
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: that is the beat that get beat down, that daily

1185
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: daft to Baseball beat reporters, not gonna daily daft them.

1186
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: You know why, you know, I having been in those

1187
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: locker rooms as a local news guy, all right, like

1188
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: they're the worst people to deal with. I'm sorry, baseball

1189
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: beat writers, but it's true. You know it's true as well.

1190
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: You don't like dealing with your own kind, you know,

1191
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: it's alright so much. My dad is gonna go to

1192
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: all those fans over across the pond, man, Yeah, baby.

1193
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: The Brits have been been tweeting us at the NFL

1194
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live handle quite a bit. Our Adam Rink does

1195
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: a little segment with Sky Sports over there overseas as well. Um,

1196
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: we've got a good, very very good relationship the NFL

1197
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: does and NFL Fantasy with those tremendous fans really all

1198
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: all around the world. But I'm surprised but the number

1199
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: of fans that listened to the podcast, watched the show, uh,
