Speaker 1: down to here is normally, you know, I'm not a
Speaker 1: confrontational person, Greg, that is for sure. You know I
Speaker 1: try to be even keel. But you know you hear
Speaker 1: you hear the chirping here, the appetizer talk, the we're
Speaker 1: the warm up for the main show, for the main
Speaker 1: gig coming up next the fantasy football Frenzy with the
Speaker 1: hashtag Goons squad. Well, Greggy, here, let's let's break it down.
Speaker 1: Let's break it down like this. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like are we are we the mic? Are
Speaker 1: we the mic play show? Or like do we only
Speaker 1: provide stats? I feel like we try to like deliver
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1: We try to have phone, we try to break down
Speaker 1: the stats. Here's what it comes down to, everybody. We're
Speaker 1: playing a fantasy football game based on stats, based on numbers.
Speaker 1: It's a real life NFL game where you get you
Speaker 1: win based on gaining more statistics than the other team.
Speaker 1: Why would why would we not talk about stats? You
Speaker 1: listen in the next hour, you'll get your entertainment. You'll
Speaker 1: get your talk about you know, Don Lemon's dogs, You'll
Speaker 1: get your talk about uh, you know, Harlem and the
Speaker 1: inner politics there and the latest Instagram model you should
Speaker 1: be following. But we're trying to help you win chips. Now,
Speaker 1: something Corey the Fantasy executive used to say a lot,
Speaker 1: Greg was I win chips. That would always be his
Speaker 1: comeback right against the King Scott Angle. When's the last
Speaker 1: time you heard Corey say the phrase, I win chips.
Speaker 1: We're trying to look at my watch, trying to watch
Speaker 1: it's been a while, it's been a while. We all
Speaker 1: we all compete in the league together. How are you
Speaker 1: doing it? Said league? I mean you're six and six,
Speaker 1: you're fineing for the playoffs. You're right in it. We're
Speaker 1: working on it. I'm eating four. Corey the Fantasy executive.
Speaker 1: He plays in the same league, the same league that
Speaker 1: has children at a lessons playing in this league, the
Speaker 1: same league where half the league is people playing for
Speaker 1: the first time. Would you like to guest Corey's record
Speaker 1: in this league. I'm sure he's you know, he's he's
Speaker 1: He's the fantasy executive exec He's got to be crushing.
Speaker 1: You know. People call into the to the to the
Speaker 1: fantasy football frenzy. We need to we want to win.
Speaker 1: We don't listen to the BFFs. They're not gonna help
Speaker 1: us win. We're gonna listen to Corey. We're gonna listen
Speaker 1: to Adventure, We're gonna listen to Jim Day. They're gonna
Speaker 1: help us win fantasy football championships. Corey to inten two
Speaker 1: and ten in a league with children, with people playing
Speaker 1: for the first time fantasy football in their lives. The
Speaker 1: fantasy executive no more, He's now the fantasy fraud. Fantasy
Speaker 1: football has passed the executive. You know, he has the
Speaker 1: morning show. He does this thing with Gabe. He's getting
Speaker 1: more into you know, the sports song radio. He's getting
Speaker 1: win to, you know, betting. I understand Corey's got a
Speaker 1: lot going on. He's got kids, He's got a lot
Speaker 1: going on. But don't sit here and say he listened
Speaker 1: to the Frenzy because you want to win chips. If
Speaker 1: you want to win chips, you listen to the BFFs.
Speaker 1: We give you the stats, and we're here to win.
Speaker 1: We're not here to give you to inten records. Finishing
Speaker 1: last place. You know, I just I just played Venture
Speaker 1: last week. Greg, you don't happen. I beat him by
Speaker 1: sixty points. I had the second overall pick in this league.
Speaker 1: I drafted Levon Bell. I didn't have James Conner. You
Speaker 1: know it was on my team now, Philip, Lizzie, Tyler, Boyd,
Speaker 1: Josh Adams. That's how you win in fantasy football. That's
Speaker 1: how you win, even if you have a bad first
Speaker 1: round pick. You turn your team out. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and you know, you know, tell his stories
Speaker 1: and look, we're gonna try to have fun. We're gonna
Speaker 1: try and mike both sides of the world. And I'm
Speaker 1: not almost not sitting here, Greg, and tell you what's up?
Speaker 1: What's up? We got Julio Jones this week three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't score three touchdowns this week, then he's
Speaker 1: gonna score three touchdowns next week. And if he doesn't
Speaker 1: do it next week, he's gonna do it two weeks
Speaker 1: from now. And if he doesn't do a two weeks
Speaker 1: from now, look he's gonna do it. He's Julio Jones.
Speaker 1: I gotta picture Julio Jones might well that I kiss
Speaker 1: every single night before I go to sleep. It's Julio Jones.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna sit here and say, you know, startup
Speaker 1: player because he's a physical freak. I'm not gonna tell
Speaker 1: you Sam Watkins is the best second second best wide
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL, Greg, these stats. We're gonna try
Speaker 1: and have fun. Greg, we went out a pole were
Speaker 1: people have spoken? Or would you rather be a nerd
Speaker 1: and a winner? Would you rather be a clown and
Speaker 1: a loser, Greg, The fact of the matter is pool
Speaker 1: have spoken. People would rather be a nerd and a winner. Gregg,
Speaker 1: You either die a fantasy hero where you live long
Speaker 1: enough to see yourself become a villain. The fact of
Speaker 1: the matter is nobody had more fun than us. Where
Speaker 1: did that get us? Frank? Where did that get us?
Speaker 1: The people have turned their back on us. They've turned
Speaker 1: their back on us. We haven't turned our backs on you.
Speaker 1: We we are the people's chaps, that is us. If
Speaker 1: you don't like it, well, i'd say we have two
Speaker 1: words for you, but we have the next fifty minutes
Speaker 1: of words for you. And I'm sure you have words
Speaker 1: for us. And eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. The people want stats, so let's give
Speaker 1: them stats. You want us to nerd out, you want
Speaker 1: us to give these statistics. You come for the frenzy,
Speaker 1: for entertainment, not for people that have been chanting all
Speaker 1: year long, things like m v S letting you know
Speaker 1: all about Jeff hire Man, your b fffs, b ffs.
Speaker 1: We're here and we're not going anywhere, so let's go
Speaker 1: to stats. People are concerned about Dalvin Cook getting ten
Speaker 1: carries a game. Should we be concerned about that? Frank?
Speaker 1: Is that that something in the Fantasy playoffs that are
Speaker 1: gonna matter to the people? Know, because if you have
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, you probably aren't in the playoffs. How about that?
Speaker 1: There you go speaking in pure facts here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends, because that's what we do. Because that's
Speaker 1: what we do. Greg is right, if you have Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: probably not gonna make it to the Fantasy plaoffs if
Speaker 1: you manage this squeak by, if you did well in
Speaker 1: the middle rounds, if you're like me, if you listen
Speaker 1: to me and you picked up guys like Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: and Philip Lindsay and d J. Moore, all of which
Speaker 1: are on my team, and you might be making it.
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, probably a little bit worried, Greg? Why should
Speaker 1: you be worried? Frankie? Well, Greg just had a favorable
Speaker 1: game script. This past week against Green Bay Packers was
Speaker 1: a competitive game. They're playing with the lead for most
Speaker 1: of that game. He's still got out carried violence Avias Murray.
Speaker 1: You know that. You know he work in the In
Speaker 1: the receiving game, he had some targets he caught the
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown, but ten for what thirty? Is that what
Speaker 1: we're looking at here? And we'll say he's Murray getting
Speaker 1: more work than him. So I will finally admit defeat
Speaker 1: at this point in the season. I mean Dalvin Cook first,
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette. That was a big, big, big discussion
Speaker 1: for us before the season. Lenard four Nette, if you
Speaker 1: had him, you might not be making into fantasy class either,
Speaker 1: especially when you need the most. The guy goes out,
Speaker 1: plays Mike Tyson's punch out in real life and get
Speaker 1: suspended when you need the most, he's not here. So
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournet has been better the past couple of weeks
Speaker 1: for Devon than Devin Cook. But where that, Like you
Speaker 1: said in week thirteen, Leonard Fournett's back where he's always been,
Speaker 1: not playing, not playing on the bench. At least he's healthy, Frank,
Speaker 1: at least Leonard four Net is healthy and sitting his
Speaker 1: ass on the bench, finally healthy, finally healthy, not contributing
Speaker 1: when you need a most for fantasy football grade. Those
Speaker 1: in the chatter telling us, hey, listen, we got Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: Boy Constantine, He's got Dalvin Cook in the playoffs. Our
Speaker 1: guy's son. He's got Dalvin Cook. He's tending to and
Speaker 1: he's rocking it right now. Those guys that have been
Speaker 1: starting Dalvin Cook all year long, should they start him
Speaker 1: in week third team? Depends on the other options, I gets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It obviously depends on your other options. And the Vikings
Speaker 1: are going up against the New England Patriots, so that
Speaker 1: would that spells negative game script for any running back
Speaker 1: here in this game. Obviously, whether it's let's Taps Murray
Speaker 1: or Dalvin Cook. We've already seen that. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: in games where they're trailing, they're still gonna use Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook in the In the receiving game, we just saw him.
Speaker 1: You know, he caught the touchdown this past week. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna go back on what I
Speaker 1: said on him. I think he's, you know, in that
Speaker 1: mid range, low end RB two area. He's not the
Speaker 1: RB one that we thought he was gonna be. He
Speaker 1: you know, he drafted at the end of the first
Speaker 1: found early second round to be that workhorse on your team,
Speaker 1: battled hampstring injuries all year, the offensive line not very
Speaker 1: good in Minnesota. This upcoming week against the Patriots will
Speaker 1: once again being that range, probably on the fringe of
Speaker 1: being a top twenty, top twenty four running back. Let's
Speaker 1: turn to the phone lines. It is our listen to
Speaker 1: appreciation day here in week thirteen eight four four, eight four, three, six,
Speaker 1: seven nine. We kick it off with the Rick in Chicago.
Speaker 1: What's up? Rick? Hey, guys, it's going, it's going. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's going? Rick? What's up? Man? I know you guys
Speaker 1: would take a lot of heat, but I've been listening
Speaker 1: probably about six months now, and I think you guys
Speaker 1: are doing awesome job. So don't appreciate up so much. Rick.
Speaker 1: You're You're on the side of the You're on the
Speaker 1: right side of history. You are on the right side.
Speaker 1: Were you love hashtags? That's win chips. Let's pu's your question.
Speaker 1: Corey Parsons and Chris Ventra. At the beginning of the year,
Speaker 1: when we were talking famous in the off season, they
Speaker 1: said that they would draft Sammy Watkins pent over Brent Cooks.
Speaker 1: I wonder how they feel about that now? How do
Speaker 1: you feeling that? Throw that downstairs? The fantasy fraud and
Speaker 1: the closer men. Don't get me wrong, I love them.
Speaker 1: I mean they put on a good show. I mean
Speaker 1: I think I do great, but they were wrong on
Speaker 1: that one, that's for sure. But Jim Day wasn't on board,
Speaker 1: So shout out to my man, Jim Dad. Fantasy TAT
Speaker 1: is getting some love. No love for Fantasy, No love
Speaker 1: Fantasy cat. No. I love everybody. I love everybody. I
Speaker 1: respect everybody. I wish you know, I wanted you can't do.
Speaker 1: I want. I want everybody to get ratings on our network.
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, we
Speaker 1: have to get you know. I want us to get
Speaker 1: ten thousand views in them to get you doing. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you are breaking This is no love for Fantasy test.
Speaker 1: Bet you could go do your air drums somewhere else.
Speaker 1: If I if I could get my question, and my
Speaker 1: question this week is if I could start in the flex.
Speaker 1: I got three options. I got Edwards, Josh Adams or
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. Kenyan Drake. We don't know as of right now.
Speaker 1: They've already said he's not going to participate in any practice,
Speaker 1: any contact practice this week, so we know he's dealing
Speaker 1: with the shoulder arm injury that he suffered last week.
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards going up against the Atlanta Falcons looks like
Speaker 1: a really really good matchup. Greg, and I know tomorrow
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about We're to talk to dr a
Speaker 1: of inside injuries to find out the latest on Alex Collins,
Speaker 1: but he was not spotted at practice. And then Josh
Speaker 1: Adams with the Eagles going up against Washington Man, that's close.
Speaker 1: If Alex Collins doesn't play, I'll go with Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: with that matchup against Atlanta. If Alex Collins does play,
Speaker 1: because we'll mobileforehand. The Eagles play on Monday night, Alex
Speaker 1: Collins plays, I'll use Josh Adams in that. I completely
Speaker 1: agree with you. Josh Adams did continue to see the
Speaker 1: majority that carries the Eagles on confident there This Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson Gus Edwards combination is the real deal. I completely
Speaker 1: agree with you, Frank, because you continue on. I think
Speaker 1: there's a good time to take this call. What's up.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bob in Vermont. Hey, Greg, you guys
Speaker 1: chilled be nice too when they're nice to us, when
Speaker 1: they show us the respect that we deserve, will chill no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. They call us out on a day early basis,
Speaker 1: and we're the bigger man. We were the bigger men
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. But today, well yeah, we'll appreciate
Speaker 1: the stats. That's what we'll do. Yes, yes, great, great, Yes,
Speaker 1: you're great, guys, you're awesome. But don't I will eat
Speaker 1: your pizza when you bring it. I will eat your
Speaker 1: pizza when you bring it for us. Okay, yes, that's
Speaker 1: for all everybody. So what do you guys like just
Speaker 1: playing on the pizza or anything else. We like a
Speaker 1: nice meaty pizza. That's a sausage. Some pepper cheese is fine,
Speaker 1: just say so, but I'm playing in one pepper even
Speaker 1: a right, all right. We appreciate that. We appreciate you,
Speaker 1: appreciate you, guys, Thank you, But we don't want to
Speaker 1: We don't want to be like the other station over there.
Speaker 1: Well we we do, we actually do. They always get
Speaker 1: into arguments like this. It is what it is, Bob.
Speaker 1: We appreciate, we appreciate you. This is our listener appreciation
Speaker 1: because we appreciate you and we need to be appreciated. Frank,
Speaker 1: this is the difference. This is a difference. You know what.
Speaker 1: He brings up an interesting name there, Mike Francis and
Speaker 1: Mike Francisa a big you know, get off my lawn
Speaker 1: stats status. Hey, okay, okay, okay, what are air yards?
Speaker 1: What air yards? What are next gen stats? When you listen,
Speaker 1: when you listen to the Frenzy, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: call him the fantasy football Freenzy because they don't talk
Speaker 1: about fantasy football. I'll call them the Frenzy. We also
Speaker 1: the Frenzy. They mocked air yards and next gen stats
Speaker 1: and Pro Football Focus. Guys, we're playing a game of
Speaker 1: stats where you need more stats than the other team
Speaker 1: to win. So why wouldn't we use every possible tool
Speaker 1: that we have at our disposer disposal to try and win.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make no sense. So you sit here and
Speaker 1: you mock mock Mike Francesa, and you say, oh, well,

Speaker 1: Fantasy best friends forever. You're the Vettis Sports Ridio Network
Speaker 1: and maybe our only friends. After this sprang the Vettie
Speaker 1: Football Frenzy. One on a war. They got the frenzy.
Speaker 1: We tried to be above this fantasy football. We didn't
Speaker 1: we didn't want to respond in any way. We didn't
Speaker 1: respond to its line for a long time. Thirteen weeks,
Speaker 1: everyone hits a breaking point. All this talk about appetizers
Speaker 1: and warm up show and getting the seat ready weekends.
Speaker 1: Oh man, m you know what, you you know what
Speaker 1: the truth is. No one knows right who's downstairs making
Speaker 1: them look good on a daily basis, just saying just
Speaker 1: eight four or four eight four or three six eight
Speaker 1: seven nine lettle My Waivers before we get back to
Speaker 1: you guys. Uh, Carlos Hyde eight bucks on my squad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's a I think that was a great
Speaker 1: pick up. Greg. Obviously we talked, We talked about Carlos
Speaker 1: Hyde yesterday. We already mentioned Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook a
Speaker 1: little bit already today. Leonard Fournette, Uh, this is uh,
Speaker 1: the appeal was heard. He's gonna be suspended this week.
Speaker 1: So we know that the jagguars are gonna try and
Speaker 1: run on football. They have Cody Kesler now at quarterback,
Speaker 1: and we know, uh, Leonard Fournett was averaging twenty three
Speaker 1: carries a game since he returned from injury. They want
Speaker 1: to run the football. Who's going to do that. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Carlos Hide. They're facing the Colts this week.
Speaker 1: They want to take the air out of the football.
Speaker 1: They don't want they want to keep Andrew Luck off
Speaker 1: the field. That's the way to try and attack the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. How much fight, how much drive do the
Speaker 1: Jaguars have left? I'm sure you can question that, but
Speaker 1: I like to pick up of Carlos Hide to eight bucks.
Speaker 1: I think another one people were wondering about. Justin Jackson
Speaker 1: went for ten dollar is my league went for five
Speaker 1: dollars in your league? I mentioned I only had three
Speaker 1: dollars left in my home league, Greg. I spent the
Speaker 1: rest of that on Josh Jackson. Obviously, I'm very excited
Speaker 1: about him. And I uh, I revealed that sentiment yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you're you're a Josh Jackson guy. Actually chose
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide over Justin Justin Jackson. Um, it shows hide
Speaker 1: over Justin Jackson. I just I don't know why I
Speaker 1: told you. It's yesterday. I had this inkling about hide. Um,
Speaker 1: and I think Jackson's always gonna split time. Not that
Speaker 1: highest splaying time, but t J hilden he is. But
Speaker 1: I've always been the Carlos High guy, and I will
Speaker 1: remain the Carlos Hide guy in that regard. It is
Speaker 1: funny your guns, Greg, By the way, it's funny when
Speaker 1: people spend save all their money because a Corey credit
Speaker 1: word new for sure that he from the moment I met,
Speaker 1: and he says he can't he can't hold on a fab. Right,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna spend fab You can't spend it at
Speaker 1: the strip club, so you better spend it now. And
Speaker 1: when you get to week thirteen and you have all
Speaker 1: this money left and you're fighting for a playoff spot,
Speaker 1: you may get in a situation like this where the
Speaker 1: top names out there are Justin Jackson and Carlos High.
Speaker 1: And you guys aren't all that exciting for you, We've said,
Speaker 1: And and Chris Bender does a really nice job doing this,
Speaker 1: just spending his money early. He can't say he's got
Speaker 1: no money left anywhere. You've got very little money left anywhere.
Speaker 1: But there's teams in my league that had fifty sixty
Speaker 1: dollars going into today. They spent twenty dollars on a
Speaker 1: defense for this week because they could. It's like this
Speaker 1: is ultimately help you. Right, this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Twenty dollars on the defense. It's not going to win
Speaker 1: you the league lead. Maybe it'll win you the week,
Speaker 1: maybe you'll get those extra two points three points, But
Speaker 1: when you are saving your money, when you are too
Speaker 1: passive earlier in the year, it comes down to this,
Speaker 1: getting twenty dollars and spending on defense. Great, you have
Speaker 1: more money than me in the playoffs. That's awesome, fantastic.
Speaker 1: What do you use what are you using it for?
Speaker 1: We had your We had your buddy Max coll In
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, earlier in the year, Greg and
Speaker 1: he told us about Philip Lindsay. He was very aggressive,
Speaker 1: spends a lot of money on Philip Lindsay. And he mentioned, well,
Speaker 1: you know, you never know, well, what if he's the
Speaker 1: next Alvin Kamara. Well he's not Alvin Kamara, but he's
Speaker 1: an RB one. Philip Lindsay is an RB one. Look
Speaker 1: at a lot of the guys that if you were
Speaker 1: aggressive on them early in free agency, Philip Lindsay being
Speaker 1: one of them. Tyler Boyd. Those are obviously two names
Speaker 1: that stick out. You had a legit, you know, high
Speaker 1: end r B two or wide receiver to all season long.
Speaker 1: So that's something that will continue to hit on every
Speaker 1: single year for fantasy football, is when these guys pop
Speaker 1: early on in the season. Yeah, you're gonna get a
Speaker 1: few duds, There's no doubt about it. I remember last
Speaker 1: year David David Johnson went down with injury. I forget
Speaker 1: the gentleman that that was backing him up. I spent like,
Speaker 1: like of my fab on him. It was a bum.
Speaker 1: Who are the Cardinals backup? Kurwin Williams? There you go
Speaker 1: spen in my fab like, are you're gonna swing and
Speaker 1: miss a few times? But if you aggressive early on
Speaker 1: this year, you would have ended up with some of
Speaker 1: these guys who are popping off right now, popping off.
Speaker 1: But you can also here later on tonight. Nope, that's
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays and Thursdays, right well at night. I didn't
Speaker 1: mean tonight at night in general any time any time. Now,
Speaker 1: Maybe Max is right spending all that money on Philip
Speaker 1: Lindsay because I had the guys on the Frenzy talked
Speaker 1: about he yesterday right in that Phill Lindsay's arguably the
Speaker 1: pick up with the year, and it was one I
Speaker 1: never saw coming. I never Tyler Boyd and Philip Lindsay
Speaker 1: or the two I believe running back and wider sty
Speaker 1: here and pick ups of the year, and I never
Speaker 1: honestly saw either of them coming. Yeah, Philip Lindsay as
Speaker 1: of right now is RB eleven. Just a few names
Speaker 1: that he's ahead of, Joe Mixon, Matt Brita, Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean, god, it's a weird year for running backs,
Speaker 1: like guys that were drafted early on Alice Collins all
Speaker 1: the way down to list, Kenyan Drake, all the way
Speaker 1: down the list. You could blame the coaches for those guys,
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to it, Philip Lindsay was
Speaker 1: picked up what we two week three. People might have
Speaker 1: thought it was a fluke. They thought he was a
Speaker 1: scat bag, a smaller bag. Everyone's saying, well, you know,
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman has the pedigree, and you look, you know
Speaker 1: we were on Royce Freeman too. Greg. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here all high and mighty and say I get
Speaker 1: every single call right that there's absolutely no way like
Speaker 1: I'm up. Half the time, we make fun of each
Speaker 1: other for getting stuff wrong, like I started Kendrick Born.
Speaker 1: This week, we let off one of the shows talking
Speaker 1: about how I started Kendrick Borne. You're not gonna get
Speaker 1: everything right, There's no doubt about it. What Royce Freeman,
Speaker 1: he's not been the guy. Philip Lindsay is the guy
Speaker 1: and he will be the guy, I believe, so moving
Speaker 1: forward to unless a new coaching staff and regime comes
Speaker 1: in and and tries to mess this up. But Philip
Speaker 1: Lindsay looks every bit the part of an NFL running back,
Speaker 1: especially when people are trying to do nowadays. A guy
Speaker 1: that a dual threat. We're talking about Rex Burkhead yesterday,
Speaker 1: Greg a guy that could be a dual threat for
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Philip Lindsay. He's been a dual threat for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos all season long. Yeah, he's been. He's
Speaker 1: been awesome. It's one of those situations like Bronco's credit
Speaker 1: in that they didn't let draft stock or draft capital matter.
Speaker 1: They played the best player and they've done it really
Speaker 1: and and you know what, that's a great point because
Speaker 1: how often do we see, you know, just the guy
Speaker 1: who gets paid more or the guy who was drafted earlier.
Speaker 1: We're gonna give him the absolutely, we have to see
Speaker 1: what we have in this guy, and a lot of
Speaker 1: times we do climber for that. We you know, we
Speaker 1: want to see what they have in players. But when
Speaker 1: a guy like Philip Lindsay is just constantly putting up
Speaker 1: numbers and he hasn't done anything to lose his job,
Speaker 1: and yeah we can, We'll continue continue to ride out
Speaker 1: phil Lindsay. So a good job by the denver it goes.
Speaker 1: If only Adam Gates could learn the same sentiment, we'll
Speaker 1: see if that ever happened. Kenyan Drake said he'll be
Speaker 1: fired before then, you said, Kenny, and Drake is not
Speaker 1: expected to practice in contact all week. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that would play him then? Now, yes, So does that
Speaker 1: mean we're looking at Frank Gore? Is that a thing
Speaker 1: this week? Greg? Probably so? Man Frank Gore against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills where the Dolphins are actually favored by five
Speaker 1: points as of right now, so they're playing with a
Speaker 1: lead they expect to be playing with a lead. Frank
Speaker 1: Gore probably gonna slide in in the flex discussion. But
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, I mean what we've seen players not practice
Speaker 1: all week and still play. Again. We have doctor r
Speaker 1: coming on Tomorrow's We'll find out more about this, but yeah,
Speaker 1: as it right now, it doesn't look good for for
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. No, it's and you saw him go down
Speaker 1: right boy. He did come back into this game on
Speaker 1: Sunday ultimately. Um, but it seems to be one of
Speaker 1: those things almost like Cooper Cup where he came back
Speaker 1: the adrenaline, maybe he took a OT or something like that,
Speaker 1: comes back into the game. Um, And it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like he'll be ready to rock uh this weekend. So
Speaker 1: maybe I'll be playing Carlos Hyde instead. My question would
Speaker 1: be Carlos Hyder Doug you Baldwin. We'll say, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a fun little it's fun little call for you every
Speaker 1: week that you got Doug Baldwin and you want to
Speaker 1: talk about letdowns this year to Doug Baldwin, you know,
Speaker 1: the guy has been healthy for the most poor most part,
Speaker 1: or maybe he hasn't. Maybe he's on the field and
Speaker 1: he's saying he's healthy and he's playing, but he hasn't
Speaker 1: been a percent. You know, if you watch his games
Speaker 1: and you see his game logs, he's doing his best
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry impersonation from years past, except he's not getting
Speaker 1: the same volume, you're getting a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: five for forty I mean I think he had like
Speaker 1: seven seven receptions this past week for like forty yards. Like,
Speaker 1: how many of these are coming within five yards of
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They're not targeting Doug Baldwin down
Speaker 1: the field. That's more so David Moore. That's been more
Speaker 1: so Tile locket Doug Baldwin. You want to talk about
Speaker 1: fantasy bust, I mean, he's been up there as one
Speaker 1: of them all season long. Because when you look at Bus,
Speaker 1: like what has made the biggest bus, it's a guy
Speaker 1: that you're putting your line up every week and you're
Speaker 1: expecting production from and they just don't come through. So
Speaker 1: we're expecting high end wide receiver too. What does he
Speaker 1: performed like barely a wide receiver three b ND wide
Speaker 1: receiver three Yep, that's not gonna get the job down, Greg, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's certainly not. When we get the job done,
Speaker 1: and we continue to listen to appreciation Day and eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six eight seven eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine, people want
Speaker 1: to know more about Rex Burken. What can we expect?
Speaker 1: The problem is no idea and that's exactly what we said.
Speaker 1: You know, we did the FANDUL hurry up yesterday, Greg,
Speaker 1: where we're talking about waiver wire guys, there's no statistical analysis.
Speaker 1: I know we're the we're the stats guys. We're supposed
Speaker 1: to give you the stats. But there's there's no statistical
Speaker 1: evidence that says Rex Burkett is gonna be great. It's
Speaker 1: really just it comes down to what is the Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick thinking. And nobody's gonna know that. Once we get
Speaker 1: into the games, we're still not even gonna know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it might be a drive by drive situation where all right,
Speaker 1: it's one drive Tony Michelle James White, one drive, it's
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead. I will say this, and I'm gonna continue
Speaker 1: to stick by this. Last year they rode Dion Lewis
Speaker 1: down the stretch. He ended up winning a lot of
Speaker 1: people fantasy for Bowl championships. Rex Burkett is the closest
Speaker 1: running back that they have to Dean Lewis because he
Speaker 1: could do a little bit of everything. He could run,
Speaker 1: catch the ball in the backfield. He's a Swiss army
Speaker 1: knife for the New England Patriots. He's actually earning the
Speaker 1: most money of all the running backs on the team
Speaker 1: right now, James White, great receiver, but when he's on
Speaker 1: the field opposing defensive note, they're passing Tony Michelle. He's
Speaker 1: been a great runner when he's on the field. They
Speaker 1: know that the Patriots are most likely going to run
Speaker 1: the football. So Rex Burkett represents that running back that
Speaker 1: is in the closest mold to Dean Lewis, who the
Speaker 1: Patriots rode down the stretch last season. Greg, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And I look back to Matt Modica arrest his arrest
Speaker 1: his Yeah, let's put everybody to rest on the show today,
Speaker 1: Matt Modica, Michael Florio, Frenzy. Indeed, alright. I guess how's
Speaker 1: your undertaking personage is pretty good? Right, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Glasses off, get the long hair. You should grow your
Speaker 1: hair out. I'm not gonna do that. Undertaker has facial hair, Greg,
Speaker 1: he does. He does many tattoos. I'm not gonna have
Speaker 1: any of those either. You know, some people are asking
Speaker 1: about trust when it comes to Rex Burkeet. You know
Speaker 1: that word. I mean, we're right back to where we
Speaker 1: were early on the season, the first couple of games
Speaker 1: of the year. When it comes to the Patriots running backs,
Speaker 1: who are you really going to be able to trust? Well,
Speaker 1: as of right now, we're still gonna look at James White.
Speaker 1: We're gonna trust what we've seen and until Rex Burkett
Speaker 1: comes in and you know, starts muddying the situation for sure.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not throwing rex Burkett in my lineup by
Speaker 1: all means no, Like I want him on my bench
Speaker 1: to see if he pops off and he becomes Dion
Speaker 1: Lewis from last year. I'm not. You're not starting Rex Burkett,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But James White, you can't
Speaker 1: argue that his production over the past couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: the past month has been up and down as well.
Speaker 1: He's not the same James White that we saw that
Speaker 1: was catching you know, double digit passes early on in
Speaker 1: the season. He's not. Tony Michelle just had a great
Speaker 1: game against the Jets. The game before that the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: he was abysmal. A lot of people didn't even start
Speaker 1: Tony Michelle last week and he had a big game.
Speaker 1: So we're right back in that same situation where we're
Speaker 1: all right, which which New England Patriots running back are
Speaker 1: we trusting. I think Sony Michelle is in RB two
Speaker 1: mid range RB two regardless of format. James White high
Speaker 1: n R B two in PPR standard probably more of
Speaker 1: a flex at this point. Rex Birkhead, he's a stats
Speaker 1: you're not starting. Let's go back to the phone lines
Speaker 1: our listener appreciation programming four, four, three, six, eight, seven nine,
Speaker 1: and let's hit up Robert in Indiana. Robert, are you
Speaker 1: a nerd and a winner or a clown and a loser?
Speaker 1: I'm a nerd in the winner for mo man. Hey,
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing? What's um? So? I have
Speaker 1: a lineup question actually involved in Sony Michelle. Um, it's
Speaker 1: a PPR league. I was wondering should I start Josh Adams,
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle or um Josh Adam, Sony Michelle, our cherry
Speaker 1: on Johnson, carry on Johnson. We're still waiting on the
Speaker 1: health of him, so I'll rule him out for now.
Speaker 1: So it comes down to Sony Michelle or Josh Adams.
Speaker 1: Adams is that tasty matchup on Monday Night? And of
Speaker 1: course the Patriots you're talking about Sony Michelle. It's a
Speaker 1: good question which direction you had if Frank it is
Speaker 1: really good. I'll go with Josh Adams right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride the hot hand. You know, we just
Speaker 1: spoke about with the Patriots running backs, who can you trust.
Speaker 1: It's actually a pretty bad matchup against the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: this week, and I know Aaron Jones made it look
Speaker 1: like it wasn't a bad matchup for him, but he's
Speaker 1: kind of elevated himself into that RB one territory where
Speaker 1: he's matchup proof. You know, you don't worry about Aaron Jones,
Speaker 1: and he just did that against the Minnesota Vikings. But
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about the Patriots this week, how
Speaker 1: much who they work Reks burke it in. On top
Speaker 1: of that, it's a bad matchup. Josh Adams is unquestionably
Speaker 1: the guy for Philly right now. Greg. I mean he
Speaker 1: saw what twenty touches again this week? I mean he
Speaker 1: ran wild. We uh, we expected that against the New
Speaker 1: York Giants. It's a solid match up against Washington. It
Speaker 1: is not the best, but I'll go with Josh Adams.
Speaker 1: I'm riding the hot hand here. I will say this
Speaker 1: from watching the Giants and the Eagles on the Sunday,
Speaker 1: you do still you could shut him down probably is
Speaker 1: the call. Bud mute him but keep him on. So
Speaker 1: that's fine, um, But ultimately, from watching the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Eagles on Sunday, you do get frustrated by the
Speaker 1: amount Corey Clement is in there, and they went away
Speaker 1: from Josh Adams in the first half. A lot of
Speaker 1: the second half was more Adams. He was a little
Speaker 1: bit banged up to in that first half. He was
Speaker 1: was the game for a little bit and then he
Speaker 1: came back in he did, so it's a little dominated
Speaker 1: the second half. When that's how the Eagles offense is
Speaker 1: gonna be successful by dominating, by dominating on the ground,
Speaker 1: and that's Josh Adams. However, Sonny Michelle's are really good
Speaker 1: until they play Rex Birkehead. I'm not going to go
Speaker 1: away from Sonya Michelle. Be Sony Michelle this week, all right.
Speaker 1: I think it's very close though it's not like a
Speaker 1: slam dunk by any means. But I just feel a
Speaker 1: little bit more secure with the workload of Josh Adams
Speaker 1: right now, um, and I like the match up a
Speaker 1: little bit more as well. Let's go out to California
Speaker 1: talk to West. What's up West? Not much man. So, UM,
Speaker 1: I need to win this next game in order to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I got from forth to sixth place, saying, UM, yeah,
Speaker 1: I need to win in this bast came so I
Speaker 1: gotta line up. Question all right, what do you got? Alright?
Speaker 1: So the first part to it is, UM, I need
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and the only wide receivers I have
Speaker 1: to choose from is UM, I'm starting Davante Adams. I
Speaker 1: have a J. Green, Um, Kiki Cuti, Courtland Sutton and
Speaker 1: al Shan Jeffrey. Mm hmm. How many wider series do
Speaker 1: you start? And what format is this? Um? It's uh
Speaker 1: full PPR And I'm already starting Davante Adams and I'm
Speaker 1: actually gonna run with three running backs. Um, with running
Speaker 1: the flex only two wide receivers. Davanta Adams is the
Speaker 1: first Green when he plays. So I think the question
Speaker 1: think this answers itself. Greg, I know that Jeff Driscoll
Speaker 1: is the quarterback now for the Cincinnati Bengals, but a J.
Speaker 1: Green is one of these wide receivers who can elevate
Speaker 1: the play of his quarterback regardless of who it is.
Speaker 1: Kiki qt left That came on Monday, night with the
Speaker 1: hamstring again. Courtland Sutton has not been great. He's under
Speaker 1: delivered since the Damerius Thomas trade. Al Shan Jeffrey since
Speaker 1: the Golden Tate trade, I mean his value has trade
Speaker 1: has just worked out very badly. It's worked out badly
Speaker 1: all around. It's hurt everybody, seemingly except for Zach and
Speaker 1: Josh Adams, the Staples in the Eagles offense, and Kenny
Speaker 1: gollady on on the Lions side of things. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Alston Jeffrey has has taken a huge backseat. So I'm
Speaker 1: starting A J. Green. I know, Driscolls his quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: going up against the Denver Broncos. But it's already come
Speaker 1: out that A J. Green said that he's going to
Speaker 1: play this week. He's healthy, he's good to go, like
Speaker 1: A J. Green and you wine. Okay, next question, Um,
Speaker 1: I have Aaron Jones, Sony Michelle, Dalvin Cook, and um
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb said one guess the Dalvin Cook I'm probably
Speaker 1: lean the same way. Yep said it a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: He's he's losing some time to Latavius Murray. I know
Speaker 1: it just kind of poo poo Sony Michelle, but I
Speaker 1: just I trust him more than I trust Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: Right now, Nick Chubb isn't He's an RB one starter
Speaker 1: every single week. Now you can say the same thing
Speaker 1: about Aaron Jones. I've bench Dalvin Cook here. Good luck, man,
Speaker 1: I know you need to win. Uh, We're rooting for you.
Speaker 1: One more call before the break is our listen to
Speaker 1: appreciation program. It's Fred and ll Hey, what's up? Fred? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Guys? Love the show. Let's go on. I
Speaker 1: loved Jack Doyle. So I'm looking at the tight end
Speaker 1: here and uh that Everett La Cose, j Smith Herding
Speaker 1: or Vernon Davis. Man. This is a popular question, Greg.
Speaker 1: These are all the waiver wired tight ends. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with la Cost just for the matchup. It's the
Speaker 1: match up against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed
Speaker 1: the second most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.
Speaker 1: We know that the Broncos want to get the tight
Speaker 1: end involved. We were talking up our guy Hireman. He's
Speaker 1: now gone. Matt la Cost is your guy? Where that
Speaker 1: lacass shirt bag? Tuck it in, wear it proud, be
Speaker 1: a nerd. Start battling cost. Nerds are winners. That's like us,
Speaker 1: that's like you. For those that are watching, loving your

Speaker 1: You do get a lot of comments about turn down
Speaker 1: your damn Mike, this is how I should talk. It
Speaker 1: would be a smart ass, Greg. Do you think people
Speaker 1: like it? That's what I am. People don't like that either.
Speaker 1: If you don't like me, man, I don't tell you
Speaker 1: I am. I am whatever you say I am. And

Speaker 1: a minute freestyle Wednesdays on a podcast, on a live radio,
Speaker 1: on a video say whatever you say, I am just
Speaker 1: the way I am every day. That's just the way
Speaker 1: I am. It's the way he is, actually correct, and
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn eight four four four three
Speaker 1: oh up? Pull up the lyrics, Greg, Yeah, well this
Speaker 1: is actually a really hard one to do. Peg this peg,
Speaker 1: I know what it is. I don't know what I
Speaker 1: can say in this song. Not much, and it's probably
Speaker 1: not many words I can say in this song. Said
Speaker 1: to yourself, shut up and listen with this, Pat, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say I over We're good. Curse with this curse.
Speaker 1: It's a curse. And I am whatever you say I am.
Speaker 1: If I wasn't right, oh, Greggy, And I am whatever
Speaker 1: you say I am. If I wasn't, then why would
Speaker 1: you say in the paper, the news every day. Radio
Speaker 1: won't even play my check because I am. Whatever you say.
Speaker 1: If I wasn't, then why I would I say in
Speaker 1: the paper, the news every day I am. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just the way I am. Drop the mike, dud it,
Speaker 1: don't do to Greg. What's your favorite AM song? What's
Speaker 1: what's my favorite? A lot of really good Eminem songs.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, um my favorite song. I've
Speaker 1: always This is a ridiculous comment. I always really like
Speaker 1: Superman a lot, und it. That's exactly mine. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna lie. I love all of Eminem's music.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say don't. I have
Speaker 1: like every one of his albums on my phone. Superman
Speaker 1: is my favorite song. Superman is amazing, great song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: losers can like Losers can't like Eminem because they're losers
Speaker 1: as a winner. You know who can? Nerds? Nerds can
Speaker 1: like Eminem, right, Frank sure Man. David's Bad Meats Evil
Speaker 1: is mine? Did you listen to Bad Meats Evil? It
Speaker 1: was like him and Roy's the five nine Libation album.
Speaker 1: I only listened to the song that also included Bruno Mars.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's crazy. I heard this one's for
Speaker 1: you and me oh no um. I only also heard
Speaker 1: randomly recently that the Travis nots Taris Scott, but the
Speaker 1: Brutal Morri song with tra Travie Scott is that his
Speaker 1: name so billionaire And I was crazy. It's crazy because
Speaker 1: like Brutal Mars probably became close to a billionaire from
Speaker 1: all of his success. I'm not billionaire, but you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. You're not listening to me anymore, alright
Speaker 1: A four four eight four three six eight seven nine,
Speaker 1: Uh fabio. Ask question PPR Frankie. Who you're starting? DJ Moore,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Tyler Lockett picked two? D J Moore, Sammy Watkins,
Speaker 1: Tyler Walkett seems like the easy and here's just Boots
Speaker 1: Hammy Walkins from that list, right. The DJ Moore against
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks, that's a great matchup. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a top twenty wide receiver this week and entire
Speaker 1: Locket the guy who gets no respect. He gets no respect,
Speaker 1: but he's getting a job done every single week. So
Speaker 1: can give me tire Lockey's scoring touchdowns? Yeah, he has
Speaker 1: no respect. I gave him no respect, and I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: He basically scores each and every week. I like Tyler
Speaker 1: lockett Um as well this week. Good question he comes
Speaker 1: from Larry Joe Michigan versus Denver or Austin Ekeler against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler against Pittsburgh. And you want to like Eckler
Speaker 1: because of the offense that he plays in the offensive line,
Speaker 1: the fact that he's gonna see the Melvin Gordon workload.
Speaker 1: The Steelers have been really good against the run. It
Speaker 1: didn't look that way last week against Philip Lindsay. Joe
Speaker 1: makes him with Jeff Triskell, but better matchup against Denver.
Speaker 1: Denver has been better. To give me Austin Neckler, give
Speaker 1: me the workload. The fact that the Steelers just gave
Speaker 1: up a big game to Philip Lindsay. It's very close, though.
Speaker 1: I think what pushes me over the edge is the
Speaker 1: fact that overall the Broncos have been better against the
Speaker 1: run recently. Jeff Driskle is the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: The Chargers offense is just much more potent than where
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is at right now. So give me the better offense.
Speaker 1: Greg Taken Austin Ekela in this one. I agree, man,
Speaker 1: I I think it's really really close, and it's a
Speaker 1: really really strong question. Um, my initial instinct was Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: but you're right, take the better offense. You know Ekeler
Speaker 1: is gonna be involved in the passing game. You don't
Speaker 1: necessarily know that, or to the extent of that with mixing.
Speaker 1: Jeff Drisko is the quarterback. You know Philip Rivers is there,
Speaker 1: and you also know they trust Austin Ekeler, so I'm
Speaker 1: not really afraid of him as a backup running back
Speaker 1: at all. Peel was starting Austin Ekeler as a flex
Speaker 1: option all season. Give me Austin Ekeler, who has a
Speaker 1: backfield to himself. I'm not nearly as high as Justin
Speaker 1: Jackson as you are, so I'll take Eckler. We're getting
Speaker 1: a few more questions in the chat regarding regarding Tyler Boyd.
Speaker 1: I mean people have questions about Tyler Boyd. Obviously with
Speaker 1: Jeff Driscoll, this is gonna be a big topic of
Speaker 1: conversation all week long. With the Cincinnati Bengals. Son Goku,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Dragon ball Z fan. That's cool, Uh,
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd or Dalvin cook In standard. Tyler Boyd or
Speaker 1: Dalvin cook In standard. I like Tyler Boyd. You know
Speaker 1: that Tyler Boyd there things the issue back. I might not,
Speaker 1: but the thing is A J. Green being back. You
Speaker 1: know people are gonna think they're in a bad thing
Speaker 1: for Tyler Boyd. It's not a bad thing because even
Speaker 1: if the target share drops a little bit, like it's
Speaker 1: not like Tyler Boyd. Boyd saw this massive target share
Speaker 1: while A J. Green was out. The fact that AJ
Speaker 1: Green is gonna be on the field actually helps Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd because he's gonna take defensive attention away. And we
Speaker 1: know for a backup quarterback, you know, leaning on the
Speaker 1: slot receiver might actually be the smartest thing for him.
Speaker 1: Dalvin cook Man, it's just he's getting outtouched, out carried
Speaker 1: rather by Lesavus Murray. I know he called the touchdown
Speaker 1: last week. I feel a little bit safer with with
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd. Another question regarding regarding Boyd was one from
Speaker 1: Mario Valve's one Greg Tyler Boyd or Josh Yeah, Mario
Speaker 1: valid is Tylor Boyd or Josh Reynolds. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd in this one. Yeah, I'm gonna go to
Speaker 1: the boy as well. Good question here. I saw a
Speaker 1: moment ago. I believe it was Wesley. He wants us
Speaker 1: to know Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson. And I've gotten
Speaker 1: in a few times to man, I'm gonna start. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell Lamar Jackson man. And they said, Jackson, you're starting.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers. I gave you crap. Rodgers a
Speaker 1: hundred yards in a touchdown last week. Greg, I know
Speaker 1: it was the Minnesota Vikings, but faces the Cardinals this week.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals defense is not what it used to be.
Speaker 1: But I just Lamar Jackson inside the dome on the
Speaker 1: fast track, I can see Atlanta Falcons. We're expecting some
Speaker 1: points to be scored there inside the dome. He's rushed
Speaker 1: for at least seventy yards in each game. I mean,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, man, it's crazy. I gave him the name
Speaker 1: off the back of the jersey. I gave you crap
Speaker 1: for this a year ago, when you right back where
Speaker 1: we started, Greg, when you wanted to start was Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and I crushed you for it, and you
Speaker 1: were right that week. Jared Goff had more Fantasy points
Speaker 1: that week than Tom Brady. And here we are in
Speaker 1: week thirteen yet again, and you're saying, start Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: over Aaron Rodgers, and I want to crush you again,
Speaker 1: but I'm too scared to the what what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tak Lamar Jackson? Though I really am. I want to
Speaker 1: crush you. I'm gonna take more Jackson I do. The
Speaker 1: match means Atlanta is gorgeous for him. He's gonna dominate
Speaker 1: with his legs. Aaron Rodgers can't do that right now.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Lamar Jackson. Take the name on the back
Speaker 1: of the jersey. It's true, taking about name off the
Speaker 1: back of the jersey. Tom Brady, what have you done
Speaker 1: for me lately? Going up against the Minnesota Vikings? Greg? Like,
Speaker 1: what are we expecting from Tom Brady? I haven't done
Speaker 1: my quarterback rankings. I'm gonna dive deep into that tonight. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Wednesday is a big night. Adams does face Arizona and
Speaker 1: about the Adams in Green Bay face Arizona. Damn, I mean,
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Great? You're still using Adams. Peterson
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the point was Aaron Rodgers faces Arizona.
Speaker 1: I had about the Adams of my team. That's why
Speaker 1: I said that. So Green Babie was talking about I
Speaker 1: was talking about Tom Brady though now against Minnesota, Like
Speaker 1: is he gonna be inside my top fifteen quarterbacks this week?
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what has Tom Brady done? Nothing? Craig,
Speaker 1: I know R at that point, I know I came
Speaker 1: off the back of the jersey Andrew Luck. He's Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield over Tom Brady this one. Baker, Baker. I gotta
Speaker 1: keep riding the hot hand man. Baker. Multiple touchdowns and
Speaker 1: five straight games, every single week, getting better, putting up
Speaker 1: more fantasy points every single week. Four touchdowns last week
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, a little bit of a tougher matchup
Speaker 1: this week against the Houston Texans. It's in Houston. But
Speaker 1: the guy is bawling out right now, the man who
Speaker 1: feels dangerous. I woke up feeling dangerous today. Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: See Flora. Now give me the multiple touchdowns with with Baker.
Speaker 1: Would you start Jameis Winston over a Rodgers. Yes, not
Speaker 1: even hesitation. Has not even hesitation going up against the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, who over the past month, they've given up
Speaker 1: like the fifth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The
Speaker 1: last time this team actually faced Carolina, Ryan Fitzpatrick towards
Speaker 1: them for four touchdowns. The very next game after that,
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger thorps for five touchdowns. Last week, we just
Speaker 1: saw Russell Wilson did I went into Carolina and put
Speaker 1: up big fantasy points as well. I know that the
Speaker 1: floor for for James Winston is very low. Like he's
Speaker 1: a volatile player. He's a guy who could be bench
Speaker 1: at halftime, but he also has the upside to give
Speaker 1: you three fifty and three touchdowns. I'm going with James Winson. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. Four four, four, three
Speaker 1: six seven nine. Let's go out to Tom in Long Island.
Speaker 1: It's Tom. Yeah, Hey, guys, great show. I love it.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you man. Don't be so hard on yourself. We're
Speaker 1: not alright. Yeah, listen, um, although that mvs uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to him. Welcome down the toilet. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's o U t um. Yeah. I picked up Samuel instead. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's my question. Um, I gotta have Dak and I
Speaker 1: have Kirk going uh Week thirteen, Dak against New Orleans
Speaker 1: and Kirk against New England. Who do you guys like?
Speaker 1: This is a good question too. Man, He's getting it
Speaker 1: done with his legs right now because he scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground rushing five of his last six games.
Speaker 1: And he's just been a different beast since Marii Cooper
Speaker 1: has joined this team. But the Saints defense has actually
Speaker 1: played better. This isn't the same defense early on in
Speaker 1: the season that got torched by Ryan Fitzpatrick. They played
Speaker 1: a lot better recently. Kirk Cousins coming off one of
Speaker 1: his best games of the season. In primetime, everybody was talking,
Speaker 1: can Kirk Cousins get it done? I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I think there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: point scored in that game between the Vikings and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Very good question. I lean with Kirk Cousins because of
Speaker 1: the matchup. But but DA's gonna be right there. He's
Speaker 1: He's gonna be close to a top twelve quarterback this
Speaker 1: week for me. Listen, I like um, I like her
Speaker 1: Cousins of Kirk Cousins guy, but he's very inconsistent all
Speaker 1: year long and not the dad hasn't. But like kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins been in consistent all year long, and last week's
Speaker 1: thirty fantasies point blowout out of nowhere was shocking. I
Speaker 1: mean putting it, what three d and fifty yards and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, Like, we didn't see that coming. But he
Speaker 1: has the ability to do that. Obviously you saw it.
Speaker 1: That doesn't Yeah, DA's scored with his legs four the
Speaker 1: last five games. I get that he doesn't have the ability.
Speaker 1: This office doesn't want him to have the ability to
Speaker 1: throw up for threeft and three in a game where
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins gonna have to do that and they're fighting
Speaker 1: me for that division and fighting for a wild card.
Speaker 1: Give me kirk Cousins, Minnesota. The Patriots have also allowed
Speaker 1: the seventh most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Again,
Speaker 1: I just think that there's points traded back and forth here.
Speaker 1: Who on the Patriots is gonna be able to stop
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs Adam Feeling all the weapons that the Vikings have.
Speaker 1: Give me kirk Cousins. Good question though, absolutely, Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go the pot lines again. Heready four four or
Speaker 1: four three, six seven, nine to Manny in Vegas. What's up, Manny? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's up? Guys? How's it's going? Well? What's up? Um?
Speaker 1: I actually? Uh, flext question? Okay, oh, two questions really,
Speaker 1: but the flext question considers Sonia Michelle, Tyler and Boys
Speaker 1: or Gus Edwards. What foremat is this? Well? PPR? Yeah? Oh, man, Greggy,
Speaker 1: Greggy Greggy. I like Us Edwards. I like the matchup
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons. But this is this is what
Speaker 1: this is when it becomes tricky, right, because when you
Speaker 1: play in PPR, how much do you weigh the fact
Speaker 1: that Gus Edwards is likely going to see a lot
Speaker 1: of the carries and could score touchdowns in this game,
Speaker 1: but doesn't catch any passes at all versus a guy
Speaker 1: like Tyler Boyd who can easily give you six for eight,
Speaker 1: and you're looking at four show points in the PPR
Speaker 1: right there, PPR, I'm gonna leave with the wide receiver here. Man.
Speaker 1: You know I've I've spoken about Sony Michelle throughout the
Speaker 1: show today, tougher matchup against Minnesota, Rex burkehead back James
Speaker 1: White still in the mix, a lot of weapons in
Speaker 1: New England. PPR, I'm gonna go with Tyler Boyd. But
Speaker 1: again it's close, Greg Michelle, Tyler Boyd, Gus Edwards. It's
Speaker 1: very close, very very very close for me as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. My answer is Tyler Boyd.
Speaker 1: Breag doesn't have an answer to my answer, Tyler Boyd.
Speaker 1: My answer is gonna be My answer is going to
Speaker 1: be of Alice Consins and play guys Edwards. I can't
Speaker 1: kill you for that one either. With that, we signed
Speaker 1: off the YouTube. Go up next Annacy at Football Frenzy,
Speaker 1: the Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Bench for The Closer.
Speaker 1: They have a lot to say, no doubt, so stay
Speaker 1: tuned for them. Connext on YouTube, we appreciate watching. We'll
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. If you're listening live on the podcast,
Speaker 1: we go to the five minutes or so and subscribe
Speaker 1: like rateis five stars and make sure you leave a comment.
Speaker 1: If you're listen a lot on the radio, well we'll
Speaker 1: go another three and a half minute now or so. Frankie,
Speaker 1: my buddy is actually really good thing to end on.
Speaker 1: So my my buddy in my league is doing a
Speaker 1: bit of soul searching, but like soul searching, and he
Speaker 1: goes leaning back at our draft from our whole league.
Speaker 1: It's a perfect reason why you don't take a defense
Speaker 1: before the second last round if you're playing with the kicker, Like, obviously,
Speaker 1: you didn't need to tell me that, Like, obviously, you
Speaker 1: don't take a defense to the second to last round.
Speaker 1: And he said after the Jaguars were picked, and they
Speaker 1: were picked in the tenth round of our draft, and
Speaker 1: they obviously have not lived with the expectations. The next
Speaker 1: nine picks immediately following that, bla pal it was terrible,
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack pretty damn good, Calvin Ridley pretty damn good,
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson not Brita Andrew Luck, Kirk Cousins, Kelvin, Benjamin,
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Those the nine picks after the first defense
Speaker 1: went off the board in my holy draft, right, would
Speaker 1: you like to guess where the Jacksonville Jaguars ranked this
Speaker 1: year in terms of Fantasy points for a defense. I'm
Speaker 1: talking accumulative, not per game, well, even per game, they're bad,
Speaker 1: But where would you rank down God, Jacksonville Jaguars third
Speaker 1: fantasy defense this year, Ladies and gentlemen, If you ever
Speaker 1: needed more evidence as to why you shouldn't draft a defense,
Speaker 1: early Jacksonville Jaguars, and I know it was like them
Speaker 1: in the Rams who were like one and two creating
Speaker 1: off their own issues. But the Rams are also the
Speaker 1: number two fantasy scoring defense right now. A lot of
Speaker 1: that was that Chiefs game. Like, outside of the Chiefs game,
Speaker 1: how many people were actually starting the Rams defense without
Speaker 1: a key to leave? You might have done it the
Speaker 1: first couple of games of the season, but if you
Speaker 1: if you remember, like every single week was a back
Speaker 1: and forth with the Rams and someone else, and they
Speaker 1: were giving up like thirty points per games. So outside
Speaker 1: of that game against the Chiefs, the Rams haven't been
Speaker 1: all that great either. You know another another defense that
Speaker 1: was drafted super early, Greg Philadelphia Eagles. Like to guess
Speaker 1: where the Philadelphia Eagles rank is, correct the seven stats
Speaker 1: Fantasy points by the way, after defense really good. By
Speaker 1: the way, Jackson he actually told me and like the
Speaker 1: next message because we were talking Jackson Goller's rank defense.
Speaker 1: Actually I wish I saw that previously. Uh Yeah. The
Speaker 1: fact is it's gonna keep happening year after year. There
Speaker 1: there's gonna be one defense that stands out that people
Speaker 1: are gonna take early and to be so so dumb, dumb,
Speaker 1: and think about The Bears were the defense that people
Speaker 1: didn't start in Week one because they were facing Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers. A lot of people, we knew
Speaker 1: what the talent level that they had on that team,
Speaker 1: but people didn't want to start the Bears. A lot
Speaker 1: of people picked them up in Week two heading into
Speaker 1: their their next matchup because that is the number one
Speaker 1: fantasy defense right now is Chicago Bears who went undrafted. Mostly,
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for your statisticians, your winners, and
Speaker 1: you're still champions. Your fantasy best friends, Prapper go up next.
Speaker 1: It is the Fantasy Football Frenzy. Corey Parson, Jim Day,
Speaker 1: Chris Fetcher will have you covered for the next hour.
