1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the Fantasy pros Football Podcast. I'm

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Ran Warmley, joining this Friday morning by Derek Brown and

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Pat fitz Morris Fellas we are talking week elevin, he questions,

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: I do have to reveal it everybody we were just

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: talking about before the show started recording. Uh, Derek Brown,

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: Deebro does not think more than a Feeling is Boston's

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: best song.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely not Four Play Long Time Baby, what

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: I won instrumentals are ridiculous and we didn't know also

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: that Fitzi's apparently got, you know, celebrity ties to all

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: these different places and people.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Fits as celebrities to everyone.

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 3: I just used to work with someone related to one

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: of the Boston I did long ago.

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: I was on drumline in high school and senior year.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: We did kind of like a rock band themed show

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: for our our kind of marching performance that year, and

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: we started off with four Play from Boston, and it was, uh,

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: we did that. We did Black Magic Woman, we did

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: round About, we did one other side. It's been a

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: while obviously, so I can't remember.

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: Dude, rock band takes. Yeah, we did play that makes favorite.

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, like I remember so many different

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: nights and so many different beverages in and playing drums

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: and being like, oh yeah, I could do this on stage.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: We've talked before like I'm not good at like i

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: don't know music trivia very well, and I'm not the

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: type of person and be like, oh, that person's saying

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: that person and these are the names of the members

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,279
Speaker 1: in those bands. But I do really enjoy older music,

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: like I really like my mom got me really into

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Mac growing up, Like Jim Croche is one of

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: my favorite artists. I love like Boston and kind of

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: some of those older school you know, the types of

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the bands that you would see on a game, like

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: rock band, which was great.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Your closet, geriatric, It's okay.

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: This is a this is a great classic rock podcast.

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: We should occasionally talk about football, just for a change.

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Actually, we're like a minute into the show. It's not

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: going to spend ten minutes on that, but we will

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,080

54
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: with Colin Coward and his over under picks for the

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Over Under Challenge. Time now for the Week eleven

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Over Under Challenge. As always, this segment is presented by DraftKings,

57
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: and as always, I am joined by Colin Coward to

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: talk through some of our favorite player picks for this

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: week's slate. We will jump right in, but first I

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: want to remind everyone listening that you can play along

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: with our over Under challenge and try to not only

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: beat Colin, but win some cool prizes as well by

63
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: heading to fantasypros dot com Slash Challenge. Let's start with

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. As usual, Colin, I want to start with

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Jared Goff going up against the Jaguars. He's QB seventeen

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: and DraftKings scoring in fantasy this season just over sixteen

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game, obviously coming off this Sunday night

68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: game where he throws five interceptions in a win against

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the Texans. Very different defense he's going up against here

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: in Week eleven, the Jacksonville pass defense allowing eight yards

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: per attempt. That's third worse in the NFL. What do

72
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: you expect out of golf this week?

73
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: Well, he'll play better. Jacksonville's offense with Mac Jones is

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: a knemiic and that means more possessions, better field position.

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: I do think they'll run the ball more than they'll

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: throw it, but I rarely like fourteen point favorites in

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: the NFL. I'm breaking my own rule. I think the

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: Lions roll. I think the way they won, which is

79
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: they played poorly for big chunks of the game. And

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: one it's a coach's dream that you can really bark,

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: you can really get after players when they play poorly

82
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: and win. I think the Lions roll in golf has

83
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: a very clean afternoon.

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: The other quarterback we have here is Bo Nicks going

85
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: up against the Falcons obviously coming off a couple of

86
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: really difficult matchups in just in terms of the opponent

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and the Chiefs the last two weeks.

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Not that the Falcons are bad, but not quite on

89
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: the same level you know seen as contenders like Baltimore

90
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and Kansas City are bow Nicks QB thirteen and scoring

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the season for a fantasy on DraftKings over seventeen points

92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: per game. A lot of that has come from the rushing,

93
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: and he's been QB seven over twenty points per game

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: since Week five, so he has gotten better as the

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: season has gone along. What are your expectations against the Falcons.

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: I worry about a little bit of a letdown after

97
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: losing a gut punching loss to the Chiefs after they

98
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: outplayed them and bo Nicks outplayed Mahomes. But I think

99
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: Peyton's one of the sharpest guys in the league. Atlanta

100
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: presents almost no pass rush, so I and I've said this,

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: I like Courtland Sutton, I like their tight ends. I

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: like bon Nicks. Their left tackle Bulls is excellent. I've

103
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 4: been betting on Bonnicks all season. Atlanta presents very little.

104
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: It's a dome team going to cold Weather. I think

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: bo Nix does well.

106
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Courtland Sutton. I've been really

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: kind of struggling to identify what I like and dislike

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: about the skill position group in Denver. Like obviously, we've

109
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: seen a lot of kind of you know, in and

110
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: out from the from the backfield Orodric Estimee had his

111
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: first big usage game this week, only fifty three rushing yards.

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Jonte Williams in and out. Cortland Sutton's a player I've

113
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: always liked, but feels maybe miscast as a wide receiver one.

114
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: Do you think that this supporting cast around bo Nix

115
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: is good enough?

116
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: I think they have to. They have a left tackle,

117
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: a back. I think Courtland Sutton's a low end one,

118
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 4: but he's a big target. Their tight ends are more

119
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: than serviceable. I think they're receiving. Mims is young, Franklin's young.

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: I don't think they'll go wide receiver in the draft.

121
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: I think they'll go maybe another running back, shore up

122
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 4: the offensive line, maybe the very back end safety. I

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: think it's good enough, and I also think we have

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: to consider Sean Payton's coaching. He's a great play designer,

125
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: excellent play caller, and bow Knicks had sixty one college

126
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: start so he's a heady kid who's seen everything. He

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: had multiple coordinators in college, so he clearly grasps offense quickly.

128
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 4: I thought he played really well. I even thought he

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: played pretty well and the blowout lost to Baltimore, so

130
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: I think even in his games that he's struggling, he's

131
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: been productive and confident.

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: I like bo. Let's look at some running backs here.

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Kirien Williams at New England RB six on DraftKings this

134
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: season over fifteen fantasy points per game, going up against

135
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: his Patriots rush defense allowing four point eight yards per carrie.

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: What do you expect out of Kyron this week?

137
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: Well, they're not playing Blake korm A lot, so he

138
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: gets a majority of the carries and he was invisible

139
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 4: in the first half against Miami. Some of that they

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: got down they were chasing points. I think Kyron's excellent.

141
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: I think they'll go run heavy because they don't know

142
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: what to expect as a dome team in New England's

143
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: harsh weather. I think the game plan this week for

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: Sean McVay is physical, Kyron Williams the lead dog. I

145
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: think he's gonna have a twenty plus carry performance. It's

146
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: one of my favorite plays of the week.

147
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: How about Christian McCaffrey against Seattle. Obviously, he was the

148
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: number one overall pick in a lot of fantasy drafts

149
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: this year in most fantasy drafts, really outside of the

150
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: injury concern, and then that concern turned out to be

151
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot more legitimate than people might have thought.

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: In early August, his first start back of the season

153
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: in Week ten, he was RB seventeen on DraftKings, thirteen

154
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: rushes just thirty nine yards, but doing what he does

155
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game six catches for sixty eight yards.

156
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Going up against the Seattle defense, what do you think

157
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: we'll see from Christian McCaffrey this week.

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: I can't get my arms around the Niners. I don't think.

159
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: I don't think their offensive line maybe is as good

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: as the credit it gets. I think half this league

161
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: runs a variation of this offense, so the element of surprise,

162
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: the debo jet sweeps aren't as effective. I think he'll

163
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: have a bounce back. The Seahawks don't know what they

164
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: are on either side of the ball. They are a

165
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: talented team that doesn't have really any identity. So I

166
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: think Christian has a better week. I mean, it's like

167
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: when players come off long layoffs or like say two

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: of the concussion, it's usually the second game that somebody

169
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: off a long break or a long injury really pops.

170
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: So I think he'll be reasonably productive. But I don't

171
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: love what I see with the Niners O line.

172
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: A couple of wide receivers here before we get out

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: of here, George Pickens going up against this maligned Ravens defense.

174
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: He's wide receiver thirty four on DraftKings. This season has

175
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: played differently since Russell Wilson came into the starting lineup

176
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: as quarterback. Obviously again going up against his pass defense

177
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: that is beaten up. Kyle Hamilton limited in practice. It

178
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: did not look you know, during the game when he

179
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: went down with that injury. I didn't expect to see

180
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: him back this week, So we'll see what happens there.

181
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Two hundred and thirty seven receiving yards for Pickens in

182
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: four career games against the Ravens. It's his third most

183
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: against any opponent. Just one touchdown in that stretch. What

184
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: do you think we'll see from Pickens.

185
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: Well Kyle Hamilton. His absence takes a bad secondary and

186
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: makes it awful. And I also think they're physical matchups.

187
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 4: Listen the underdog in this game. The Steelers underdogs do

188
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: well in this game. And I also think the one

189
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 4: thing where Russell Wilson feels a lot like Seahawk Russell Wilson,

190
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: the deep ball is back. He is aggressive. He's never

191
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: been great at throwing the ball over the middle of

192
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: the field. He's a very small quarterback. He loves the

193
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: deep ball. And as his movement has regressed a little bit,

194
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 4: he can still move. He's not Aaron Rodgers, but his

195
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: movements regressed. He's now really leaning into the deep balls.

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: Now.

197
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: He always did that, but in Seattle he was very mobile.

198
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 4: I like Pickens, I like the rest, I like the

199
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: Steeler team the rest of the way. I think the

200
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: deep ball is his best friend.

201
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: And I think.

202
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 4: Pickens is a remarkable athlete, one of the great athletes

203
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: in the league. You just saw him last week run

204
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: over two corners a safety. I mean, he's got a

205
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: slight build, but he's one of those long, lean, strong

206
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: play so you get yards after the catch with him.

207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: As well, so I like Pickum's here.

208
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned that Russell Wilson has really historically never been

209
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: very good throwing over the middle of the field. It

210
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: feels to me in watching this Ravens defense, that's where

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: I see a lot of the damage being done, whether

212
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: it's a receiver or a tight end or even a

213
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: running back. In the passing game, it feels like the

214
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: middle of the field is typically very wide open for Baltimore,

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: and the guys who have dominated on the outside have

216
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: been those like true alpha number one receivers. You know,

217
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: the Jamar chases the CD lamps of the world DeVonta

218
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Adams when he was still with the Raiders. So I

219
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: wonder how that's going to play out in this game.

220
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually really surprised that totals forty eight and a

221
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: half on DraftKings. I feel like Lamar he's been the

222
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: best player in football this year, but he's struggled against

223
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh historically. I don't know if you know the Steelers

224
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: offense is designed to take advantage of the biggest Ravens

225
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: weakness in the middle of the field. What do you

226
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: think about that total being as side as it is.

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: Well, I think Pittsburgh finally has a redeemable offense. I

228
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 4: think Arthur Smith, it was really good with Tam doing this.

229
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: Great offensive coordinators can identify what you do, but more

230
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: importantly what you don't do well. I mean, remember Ryan

231
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: Tannehill was a guy that, like we were surprised he

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: had much of a market. He became a pro bowler

233
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: in the AFC with Arthur Smith. Now, Arthur didn't make

234
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: it as a head coach, but a lot of that

235
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 4: is Desmond Ritter. He may not be an NFL quarterback.

236
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: I think when you give Arthur Smith a legitimate franchise quarterback,

237
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: he does magical things. And it's not a coincidence. This

238
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: offense is getting better every week, So I think I

239
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: think Pittsburgh is seen now as not your typical Tomlin

240
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 4: Steeler team. I think the offensive line has overcome injuries,

241
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 4: the run game again kind of forceful Russell. Russell still moves,

242
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: so I in most instances the last five years, I

243
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: take it the under. But I think this is a

244
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: real offense now, and I think I think the odds

245
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: makers are illustrating that.

246
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Last player here, Colin DeAndre Hopkins at Buffalo not very

247
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: good numbers on the season long stats on Fantasy but

248
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: since joining Kansas City wide receiver nineteen just under ten

249
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game on DraftKings. Going up against this

250
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Bills defense, what are your expectations for Hopkins?

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: Well, I like Kansas City in the game. He's their

252
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 4: Rashi Rice. He's going to be their volume target. He's

253
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: going to be a I mean, listen Nuka Travis Kelsey's

254
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: numbers the last three weeks. They're looking for volume right

255
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: now without Rashi Rice, and so I think he's going

256
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: to get ten targets and you know with Mahomes, seven

257
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: to eight of those are caught. I like the hop

258
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't separate. He was never a great separator. That

259
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: was never his game. So when people say, well, you

260
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: know he doesn't separate, that was not his game. He

261
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: was a catch radius guy. He was good after the catch.

262
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: He was good in traffic. So he's aged, actually I

263
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: think very well. Reid and Mahomes. Again, the longer he's

264
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: in the system, the more they can scheme him up.

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: So I like the hop in this game, and I

266
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 4: like the Chiefs.

267
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Remember everybody to head to fantasypros dot Com Slash Challenge

268
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: to play along all seas and long. Thanks again for

269
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: joining Colin. All Right, I guess we'll get into the

270
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: questions otherwise fits is gonna get ornery. Question number one, Actually,

271
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: you know what, I jumped the gun. I do want

272
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: to very quickly talk about Thursday night football, Dero. You

273
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: were kind of mentioning it before we started recording that

274
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: this is kind of how you thought the game was

275
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: going to play out. Eagles twenty six, Commanders eighteen. It

276
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: was a pretty poor performance by this Commander's offense, particularly

277
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: the passing game. As of the end of the third quarter,

278
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: there was nobody besides Austin Eckler with more than one catch.

279
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: Only one wide receiver even had a catch. I think

280
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: it was one catch for four yards, so Noah Brown

281
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: at through three quarters. I mean, it was just everything

282
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: was near the line of scrimmage. Everything was going to

283
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: the running backs or was a run itself.

284
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 2: From the way you.

285
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Described this is how you expected to pan out. You're

286
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: not concerned about the Commander's offense.

287
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about the Commander's offense, so I wasn't

288
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: surprised about how the game played out. I thought the

289
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: Eagles are going to win the high time though, they're

290
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: going to run the ball very, very effectively. Actually thought

291
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: the Eagles would beat the Commanders by more than they did. Actually,

292
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 2: but a few things about the game, and like Cliff

293
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: Kingsbury just looked like he went back to the Week

294
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: one playbook. It was like run, run, run, run, screen, screen, screen,

295
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: don't look downfield. Now whether that was Cliff being Cliff

296
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: or a function or result of Jade Daniels in his health,

297
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: because I know Dan Quinn came out after the game

298
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: talked about, Okay, you know the ribs aren't a problem, dude,

299
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: you watch the game. The ribs are a problem. Like

300
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels did not look like he looked tentative anytime

301
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: he was forced to run. He didn't look dynamic. There's

302
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with his legs. He looked like he was

303
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: basically bracing for hits. And the other thing about it

304
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: from the pocket you saw it as well, like how

305
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,119
Speaker 2: many passes last night did he skip in front of receivers?

306
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: And that's not I mean, Jade Daniels has shown throughout

307
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: the rest of the season that basically like he can

308
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: get it done as a passer. So I think the

309
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: ribs were more of a problem than the Commanders are

310
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: letting on. I don't know how much that impacted the

311
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: game plan or it was just a poor game plan

312
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: walking into this game from Cliff Kingsbury. But the Eagles

313
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: winning and quietly, I would say, the second half in

314
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: a dominating fashion. The way they did that didn't surprise me.

315
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: The way that the Commander's offense, to a large extent,

316
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: the way it operated, did surprise me immensely. Yeah.

317
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Fits thirty two passing attempts from Jaden Daniels, sixteen of

318
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: them went to either Austin Eckler or zach Ertz. To

319
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: give you a sense of the game. What was your

320
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: major takeaway coming out of this one?

321
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember how terrible these two pass defenses were at

322
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: the end of last season, Like, these were two of

323
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: the most atrocious pass defenses in the league. Huge improvements

324
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: by both and like the Eagles, I think are now

325
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: just a bad matchup in the passing game for people

326
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: like this at the beginning of the season, Like, if

327
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: you had a quarterback going against the Eagles, you were

328
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: probably excited because after what we saw late last year.

329
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: But Quinnyon, Mitchell, Cooper de Jen like those guys have

330
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: really helped with the pass coverage. The pass rush looks

331
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: more fierce than it was late last year, and Washington's

332
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: passa you can still run on Washington, but man like

333
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: night and.

334
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 5: Day with their pass defense too.

335
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: So that was kind of my takeaway, Like I don't

336
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: think it was necessarily just disappointing quarterback play, Like it's

337
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: a higher bar for quarterbacks to clear going against these

338
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: two defenses these days.

339
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see, not the final form, because

340
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what the Commander's defense looks

341
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: like after another draft class and free agency, because they've

342
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: got so much money to spend after this season. Dude,

343
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what this defense looks like,

344
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: even when they get marsha On Lattimore fully healthy, Like

345
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: dan Quinn has moved more towards it was kind of

346
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: feeling it out and trying to make things work. A

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: lot of too high coverage to begin the year. The

348
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: last three to I think it's four weeks tons of

349
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: single high a lot more man coverage, and Lattimore is

350
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: a player like we've seen it in stretches man like

351
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: when when teams or defenses allow him, the coordinators allow

352
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: him to man up in shadow. He's been extremely good

353
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: at that. So in this in this defense, I think

354
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see a lot more man coverage and I

355
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: can't wait to see what it looks like in two

356
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: to three weeks from now.

357
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that Washington already has the offensive line

358
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: largely built, like all they need to do is pass

359
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: catchers and defense, and that's they so much money to

360
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: do that. So I totally agree. Also, Quine and Mitchell

361
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: is really really good. How did how did the NFL

362
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: let this happen? I loved him in the draft. I

363
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: couldn't believe he was following one. It's one of those

364
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: Eagles one is keep getting away with this. They can'tkeep

365
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: getting away of this. It is very reminiscent of Sauce

366
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Gardner two years ago, like rookie season, defensive Rookie of

367
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the Year, All first Team, All pros a rookie just

368
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: looks like one of the best cornerbacks in football, Like

369
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: really really impressive. All right, let's jump into our key

370
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: questions Colts at Jets. As we're going to start off,

371
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: Indy is going back to Anthony Richardson, So, Fitz, what

372
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: does this change for fantasy managers for the Colts players

373
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: and for Richardson specifically, where are you ranking him against

374
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: the Jets?

375
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: It has put the value of the Colts pass catchers

376
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: in the dumpster basically, I mean like their value has

377
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: gone up in a puff of smoke. You know, we

378
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: were excited about the passing volume with Joe Flacco. Here's

379
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: what the passing volume is going to look like with

380
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. He has played five full games this season,

381
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: He's averaged eleven point two pass completions in that span.

382
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 3: And now they get Michael Pittman back, So this very

383
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: small pie is being chopped up more ways. Like I've

384
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: got Josh Downs ranked wide receiver thirty nine this week

385
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: in half point PPR, and I consider Pittman, Alec Pearce

386
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: and Ni Mitchell, those guys are just completely unplayable. As

387
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 3: for Richardson, like tentatively ranking him quarterback twenty, I'm still

388
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: like optimistic long time, but like the Jets, I know

389
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: their defense has been a little disappointing. Still a pretty

390
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: good pass defense though. Whatever Richardson does for fantasy, I

391
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: think he's gonna have to get it done on the

392
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: ground this week, Deep.

393
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Road, do you agree that Josh Downs is the only

394
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Colts pass catcher worth starting.

395
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: I do with Michael Pittman. I mean, I don't think

396
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: he's still fully healthy. Alec Pearce has been so hit

397
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: or miss like it's Alec Pierce is one of those

398
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: players will look back at the end of the season

399
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: and say, oh, look at these season long numbers and

400
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: it's like, when did you ever start him? Or how

401
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: many times did you actually start him whenever he popped

402
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 2: off for a big game? Probably never. So I'm a

403
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 2: little bit higher on Josh Downs than FITZI is. I

404
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: agree with the other pass catches in this offense, but

405
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: I've got Downs at wide receiver thirty. Part of this

406
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: is to what FITZI highlighted at the end there. This

407
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: this past defense has not been the same man like

408
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: since they got rid of Robert Sala. This past defense

409
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: has not been as good. Since Week six. They're allowing

410
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: the eighth highest yards per attempt, the fourth highest EPA

411
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: per dropback, especially to slot wide receivers where they're giving

412
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: it up like since week six again kinder matchup like

413
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: tenth highest PPR points per target to slot receivers. So

414
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: I think Downs is a strong wide receiver three. Although

415
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: I do think that the pass game volume is going

416
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: to come down, but Downs should be the go to

417
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: receiver for Richardson this week.

418
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Downs needs the volume though, And that's the thing,

419
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 3: Like he is not a big play guy. He's going

420
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: to average like around ten yards of catch. This dude

421
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: needs to be. Like the last couple of weeks, it

422
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: was kind of disappointing, but he still had like six

423
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 3: and seven catches, so he had a decent day. If

424
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: you're playing him in like PPR or half PPR. Now

425
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: he's not going to be getting six or seven catches

426
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: a week. And unless he pops off a big play,

427
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: which is really not his forte, I don't know. I

428
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 3: think you're going to be left with marginal flex.

429
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: Value just quickly fit since everybody's starting him anyway. Are

430
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: we more excited about Jonathan Taylor with Anthony Richardson back.

431
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, theoretically.

432
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: I mean we didn't see as much of it early

433
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: in the season as I would have liked. Like I

434
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: thought there was gonna be a lot of cool looking

435
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: RPO stuff from this offense, and like, I don't know

436
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 3: how much of that we really saw early in the year,

437
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: So I mean, I hard to say, like, I don't

438
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: know if it's an upgrade for him like he was.

439
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: He looked fantastic last week with Joe Flacco, you know,

440
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: didn't get in the end zone, didn't really do much

441
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: as a pass catcher, so his fantasy day wasn't great.

442
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: But Taylor looked amazing last week.

443
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: De you broke any quick thoughts on Taylor.

444
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: No, I think it's a push, to be honest, I

445
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are going to say, like, oh,

446
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: mobility quarterback, But dude, Taylor was freaking awesome. It doesn't

447
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: matter who the hell the quarterback has been. So I

448
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: think it's honestly just a push. He was awesome. He'll

449
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 2: still be awesome.

450
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ravens at Steeler's best game of the

451
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: one o'clock Eastern window. This late is so great because

452
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: he's got a great gave in the early great gave

453
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: in the late afternoon, in a great Sunday night game,

454
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: so the whole day you're going to get some good

455
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: foot ball. Hopefully. Ravens at Steelers is that game for

456
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the one pm Eastern window. Steelers have historically been really

457
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the only one of the only defenses to consistently limit

458
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He hasn't played them that much considering how

459
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: long he's been in the league. It's been a lot

460
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: of he was out with COVID, or had an injury,

461
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: or it was the last game of the season and

462
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: they were arresting starters. So we haven't seen this matchup

463
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: as much as you might think. But when we do

464
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: see it, Lamar has tended to struggle, at least relative

465
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: to the rest of his career. But this is the

466
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: best Lamar we've ever seen. So, Deebra, what are your

467
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: expectations for Lamar going up against this defense that has

468
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: given him trouble in the past.

469
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: I think you'll be fine. To be honest, I'm not

470
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: worried about him, and I know, like I don't want

471
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: to say, like, you know, Okay, well it's Lamar, you're

472
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: starting him. But since Week five, we're talking about Pittsburgh

473
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: Steelers past defense that has allowed the fifth most passing

474
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: yards per game, they have been middle of the road

475
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: seventeenth and success rate per dropback. So I think on paper,

476
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, we get so married to like what these

477
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: defenses look like like. In the entirety of the full season.

478
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: I like to go back and specifically people are reading

479
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: the primer like and look at the season in microcosms

480
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: of like the last five weeks, four weeks, look at

481
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: how teams are playing more recently to really get a

482
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: better sense of how they're playing. So I'm not worried

483
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: about Lamar, Fitz.

484
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: What do you think? And you know, part of it is,

485
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: you know that maybe Tomlin has had kind of Lamar's

486
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: number recently. The other thing is that Tomlin, you know,

487
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: in this defense as a whole, did pretty well just

488
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: last week against Jane Daniels, who is not you know,

489
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: on Lamar's level yet, but you know, obviously stylistically, you know,

490
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: you think of him as a running threat, and they

491
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job there. So what do you

492
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: think out of the we'll see out of the Baltimore offense?

493
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: Well, I worry about stroking your ego too much as

494
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 3: a Ravens fan, but I do feel like this offense

495
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: is getting to be pretty close to unstoppable. I mean,

496
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 3: the threat that Derrick Henry poses for them as a

497
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 3: runner has just made Lamar even that much more efficient

498
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: and dangerous as a passer. And I didn't really realize

499
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: the extent to which Lamar has been lighting it up

500
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: as a passer lately. Since the start of October, Lamar

501
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: is averaging three hundred and one point eight passing yards

502
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: per game and has thrown for at least two hundred

503
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: and eighty yards in each of those six games. Like

504
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: he's putting up monster passing numbers and always gives you

505
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 3: a little something as a runner to at least a

506
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: little something, if not more than a little something. So

507
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 3: man like Lamar has just been you rolled Yatzi if

508
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: you drafted Lamar to be your quarterback this year. And

509
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: it's just such a fun offense. Like if they can

510
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: just you know, I hate to say it, where them,

511
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: but like Super Bowl favorites, if they can just find

512
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: a tournique for their pass tease.

513
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can just be a middling pass defense they

514
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: can have in the offense. It's it's the advanced stats too, right,

515
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: like DVOA has them historically high. I think Aaron Schottz

516
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: said that Lamar's like his deva version of like a

517
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: passing value metric Dyaar. I think it is is like

518
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: the gap between him and number two is like wider

519
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: than the gap of teen two and like player thirteen

520
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: or so, that's I'm kind of butchering the stab, but

521
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: it's something like that where he's just been passing alone

522
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: has been amazing. De bro any other thoughts in this

523
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: passing attack Deontay Johnson revenge game?

524
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 5: Maybe No?

525
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I think it's so funny that everybody

526
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: like thought that Mike Tomlin was throwing shade at Deontay

527
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: Johnson or the at least they tried to fire people

528
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: up about that. Deontay Johnson ran two routes last week,

529
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: Like Mike Tomlin's not telling any lies, Like you got

530
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: to be on the field for me to worry about

531
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: defensive game planning against you, and Deontay hasn't done that

532
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: to this point. But the big thing I'd like to

533
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: talk about worn just real quick, is that I'll own

534
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: some of my previous statements about Monkin and this passing

535
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: offense earlier in the season. They have really found their direction.

536
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: They have really found their way. I think a lot

537
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 2: of that has to do not just Lamar playing awesome,

538
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: not just the so many weapons around him. I think

539
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: the offensive line figuring it out and finding their way

540
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: has really helped this offense to be more functional, and

541
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: it's really taken into another level. Mark Andrews, whether we

542
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: want to talk about like his health maybe, like which

543
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 2: has not been talked about, like the Ravens haven't come

544
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: out and said like he was limited to start the season.

545
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: We've seen a very different usage from Mark Andrews, especially

546
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: last week, in the last few weeks. But this is

547
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: arguably the best offense in football right now. Like, they

548
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: have so many ways to beat you, they have so

549
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: many different weapons, and quietly, Rashad Bateman is bawling the

550
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: hell out man like he is looking like the player

551
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: that I thought he was when he was a prospect.

552
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: Finally healthy, his roles changed in this offense. I mean,

553
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: their defense is terrible, but dude, you're gonna have to

554
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: score thirty to thirty five points to freaking beat Baltimore

555
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: right now.

556
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it's even arguable that this is the

557
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: best offense in football right now. Well the last that

558
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: you never know, this team has had their struggles in

559
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: January certainly, Like I'm not going to come out here

560
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: and say they're Super Bowl favorites or anything like Fitz

561
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: was alluding to. But as of right now, I don't

562
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: think there's a case against them as the best offense

563
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: in football just with what Lamar is doing, not that

564
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: there aren't other good offenses, and the Steelers offense has

565
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: been playing better too, especially since Russell Wilson kind of

566
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: took over. I want to ask you guys quickly just

567
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: on the other side of this one, because a lot

568
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: of people have talked about Russell Wilson great matchup, this

569
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: past defense stinks, and they're right. However, the two kind

570
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: of areas where the Ravens struggle most. And obviously I

571
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: watch a lot of Ravens defensive plays middle of the

572
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: field where Russell Wilson does not throw, and the Steelers

573
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: don't make most of their hay or these elite wide

574
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: receiver ones Jamar Chase Seeding, Lamb Rashi Rice when you're healthy,

575
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams in week two. Those are the guys that

576
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: have really burned the Ravens or the middle of the

577
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: field guys, and that's not really what the Steelers have

578
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: unless you put George Pickens in that category, which I

579
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: think he's still a tier or two below those guys. So, deebro,

580
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: do we think that we're maybe overrating this matchup for

581
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson given stylistically how they play.

582
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 2: No, I mean I understand like Russell Wilson hasn't seen

583
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: the field maybe since in the middle of the field

584
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: since high school. But regardless of that, I think they'll

585
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: be fine this week. I mean, like, dude, George Pickens

586
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: can get it done. Mike Williams. I think that Mike

587
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: Williams and his role in this offense and how much

588
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: he plays this week, I think is going to play

589
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: a big role, a big role on how well Russell

590
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: Wilson plays as far as his ceiling outcome. But Dude,

591
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's played extremely well in the sense of like

592
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: he's getting it done. I do think a lot of

593
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: it is. I think there's a regression coming for Russell Wilson.

594
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it happens this week because if you

595
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: look at like a lot of his yards per attempt,

596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: all the different stuff, he looks really freaking good, Like

597
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: he's thirty yards per attempt amongst forty one qualifying quarterbacks,

598
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: but the other like threading the need old type of

599
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: accurate stuff, accuracy stuff like he's thirty fifth and Cpoe

600
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: he's fortieth and highly accurate throw rates. So there's a

601
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: regression and like a down game coming for Russell Wilson,

602
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: But I do not think that it happens this week.

603
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, fits. I guess it comes down to, in terms

604
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: of the way I'm framing it, how you viewed George Pickens,

605
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: if he is kind of that alpha guy that can

606
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: really take advantage of this Ravens defense, because if not,

607
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: then it reminds me a lot of the Bills offense stylistically,

608
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: and that was in offense that the Ravens defense actually

609
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: shut down this year. But again, if you think Pickens

610
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: is playing at that high of the level, then that

611
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: kind of changes the calculation. What do you think, Well, I've.

612
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: Got Pickens top ten, but we know there's always bust

613
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: in that Boomer bust profile. You never know, like he

614
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: could give you the two catch game that the game

615
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: where he for whatever reason doesn't seem particularly inspired.

616
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: But it's funny, worm. I know you've been talking.

617
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: About the soft pink underbelly of the Ravens pass defense

618
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: the middle of the field a lot, and it inspired

619
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: me to bet the over on Calvin Austin receiving yardage

620
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: at twenty and a half yards because I figure if

621
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: they are if Russ does choose to attack the middle

622
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: of the field, which debatable, he does prefer throwing the boundaries,

623
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: no question. Maybe Austin is the guy who does some

624
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: of that damage. So I kind of like that. But

625
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: bet it's interesting though. The Steelers are this run heavy team.

626
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: They've run on fifty three point three percent of their

627
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: offensive snaps this year, and the Ravens great against the run,

628
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: not so good against the pass. Do the Steelers stick

629
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: to their guns and run the ball or do they

630
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: open things up and let Ross cook? But please, Worm,

631
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: do not ask me to go spelunking. And Arthur Smith's

632
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: brain don't want to go there.

633
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton also, I don't think he's gonna play, or

634
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: if he does, he's gonna be really limited. And if

635
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: that really helps the screen game, if the Steelers want

636
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: to try and take advantage of that. So yeah, a

637
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: bad defense getting worse in Baltimore. By the way, Just

638
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: the last thing, I think forty eight and a half

639
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: points is too high for the total on DraftKings, you do,

640
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's way too high. I

641
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: like the under on that for sure.

642
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: How do they not get there though, Like because it

643
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: do do the Steelers not put it up because we

644
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: know the Ravens are gonna put up twenty five twenty

645
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: eight points.

646
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Ravens Twitlers kink gets the

647
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: Ravens Steelers is almost always lower scoring. Again, like Tomlin

648
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: has done really well against Lamar, I worry about TJ.

649
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: Watt going up against the right side of Theravens offensive

650
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: line is worse than the left. I worry about TJ

651
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: walk going up against the right side. I know they

652
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: lost Highsmiths, but they get her big back. I just

653
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: don't think the Ravens are going to get thirty points

654
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight points in this one. And like I said,

655
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: I worry that stylistically, the Steelers like are not the

656
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: best matchup for what the Ravens. The one the few

657
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: things that the Ravens defense can do. I worry that

658
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: that's what the Steelers are going to try and go

659
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: up against. So I mean, if this total was like

660
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: in the mid forties or low forties, Like I'm not

661
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: saying it should be in the thirties or anything like that,

662
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: but forty eight and a half, like almost close to

663
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: fifty points like, I just think that's too high.

664
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: Personally, it's hard to fathom for you as this. You know,

665
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: the fan is used to these Ravens Steelers game Flacko

666
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: versus Roethlisberger sixteen to thirteen.

667
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 5: A lot of field goals could be different, though this.

668
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: Time A lot A lot of the advanced analytic guys

669
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: like the over in this one. So I might be

670
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: proven wrong, and maybe this is just my kind of

671
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: fan narrative peeking through, but yeah, I just I saw

672
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: that number and I did a double take.

673
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: You're just trying to keep expectations for your team, and Jack,

674
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: that's all you're doing.

675
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get the fits this Steve Packers is

676
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: that Bears fits. We're gonna talk about Chicago side of things, though,

677
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: any more interest in the Bears offensive players now that

678
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron is out. What do you think our expectations

679
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: should be?

680
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: Uh low?

681
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a lot of hope. DeAndre Swift is playable,

682
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: but that's it. I mean, the Bear's passing game is

683
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: a train rack right now. The offensive line is bad

684
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: and banged up. Caleb is holding onto the ballway too long.

685
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: He took nine sacks last week against the Patriots. In

686
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: the three games since the Bears Week seven by Caleb

687
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: has completed fifty point five percent of his passes and

688
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: has averaged one hundred and fifty six passing yards per

689
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: game and four point nine yards per attempt. Like he

690
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: has just been lost and it's gonna take more than

691
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 3: a week to fix it.

692
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: Debro, what do you think.

693
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: I I'll echo everything that fits, he said, Like, it's

694
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: you play DeAndre Swift if you got him, probably the

695
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: pass catcher. I feel best about that as the best

696
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: matchup is probably cole Commit honestly, but I don't want

697
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: to play any of these Bears pass catchers. You sit

698
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: all of them, Like Kayleb Williams looked terrible. It's it

699
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: and people, I'm not saying that Shane Waldron made a

700
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: good offense, but we really need to understand and lay

701
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 2: a lot of this at the feet of Kayleb Williams too.

702
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: And dude, this I threw a lot of this out there,

703
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: like I'm not I don't want I want him to succeed.

704
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: I want him to play well and I want him

705
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: to have a really awesome career. Like the talent is

706
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: definitely there, but playing on schedule, not running in seventeen circles,

707
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: like not trying to make everything a home run play.

708
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: A lot of these bad habits you could see on

709
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty three film at USC and it's and

710
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: it's not changed, and it's like, dude, like you can't

711
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: get away with all that kind of stuff, Like that

712
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: can't be like that kind of secret sauce is great

713
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: when you need to go out there and make a play,

714
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: but that cannot be how you were attacking every single

715
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: snap in every game.

716
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: You famously hated him during the draft process.

717
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: Didn't you. He was like QV three, don't God, No,

718
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't insane, but like I had him as my

719
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: TV three and like during the process people hated that.

720
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: They were like, ah, this is all just like hot Muda,

721
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, Like I'm just acknowledging that there

722
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: was a larger or a wider range of outcomes for

723
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams than I think some of the talk was

724
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: about him. Now. I still think that the upside is

725
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: still there for him, but there's a lot of stuff

726
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: he's going to need to clean up, and like systematically,

727
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: they're going to have to change how how an offense

728
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: runs or is built around what he does well and what.

729
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: He struggles with classic Debros. They're really clapping his hate.

730
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 5: Yeah it was.

731
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: It was a good call by Debro for sure. I

732
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: mean he might have totally whiffed one McCarthy over Drake May,

733
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: but got to give him credit for Caleb Williams.

734
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 2: JJ's coming from that receipt next year fancying. I know

735
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: you don't want to give any Vikings love, but he's coming.

736
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: From Barticlear with how good Drake May has looked just

737
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: quickly scaled one to ten fits long term concern for

738
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams five five, Debra.

739
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 5: Somewhere in the middle.

740
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: Six and a half. I'm not gonna say seven, but

741
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: like I'm definitely above the media and like they have

742
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: to nail this next head coaching higher. If they do not,

743
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 2: I mean we're gonna he's gonna go possibly the road

744
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: of like so many other like young quarterbacks, new offensive system,

745
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: new play caller, new offensive system, new play caller, and

746
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: the guy just gets churned through all this different stuff

747
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: and it ruins him.

748
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: The NFL season is rolling along and the contenders are

749
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: separating from the pack. The one thing that hasn't changed

750
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: this season. DraftKings Sportsbook and official sportsbook partner of the NFL,

751
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: is the number one place to bet touchdowns. Fade to

752
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: the corner of the end zone, running back breaks through

753
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: the line, and gallop sixty yards to score. We don't

754
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: care how they get them. We just want to bet

755
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: on touchdowns and DraftKings is the best place to do it.

756
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: Ready to place your first bet, try betting on something

757
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: simple like a player scoring a touchdown. Go to the

758
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: DraftKings Sportsbook app and make your pick. The week eleven

759
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: slate looks absolutely sensational. Kicked off with Commanders Eagles last night.

760
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: We also get Raven Steelers, as I already mentioned in

761
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: the early slate Sunday, then Bill's Chiefs in the late afternoon,

762
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: and we top it off with Joe Burrow versus Justin

763
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: Herbert on Sunday Night Football. I cannot wait for these matchups.

764
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Every one of those games has a spread of three

765
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: and a half or smaller and a total of forty

766
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: eight and a half or higher, except ironically Bill's Chiefs.

767
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: Plus they all have major implications in the playoff picture.

768
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: Odds and lines are subject to change, of course, but

769
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: this slate rules whichever game you bet. Here's a reason

770
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: for new customers to do a touchdown dance of their own.

771
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: Bet five dollars to get one hundred and fifty dollars

772
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,000

00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: Debro Vikings at Titans. Is Calvin Ridley back in the

791
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: circle of trust for fantasy managers? He has eight or

792
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: more targets in every game since the week five by

793
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: and his last three games include ten catches for one

794
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three yards, five catches for seventy three yards,

795
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: and five catches for eighty four yards and two touchdowns.

796
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 2: In terms of his weekly floor being higher, yes, based

797
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: off the volume, Do I feel rosy about rolling him

798
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: out there every week? No, It's still a Will Levis

799
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: led offense. You're still giving that type of target quality

800
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: on a weekly basis, which is not good, and the

801
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: backup is not any better and Mason Rudolph. So the

802
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: big thing I want to highlight about Calvin Ridley this

803
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 2: week is that the coverage matchup specifically for him, is

804
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. He's been much much better this year

805
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: against single high Minnesota runs too high at the highest

806
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: rate in the freaking NFL. Against too high, Calvin Ridley

807
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: one point four yards per route run. So I think

808
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 2: the target volume is going to be there. I don't

809
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: think the big day is going to be there for

810
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley, and I mean again like purple Hayes baby,

811
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: Like do we think that Minnesota Vikings defense is going

812
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: to make Will Levis's life a living hell this week?

813
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 2: That's gonna happen?

814
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: Fitz, What do you think based on the rankings I'm

815
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: looking at here when their last updated, you are several

816
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: spots higher than debro on Calvin Ridley. So are you

817
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: expecting a bigger day than he is?

818
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 3: I am, And maybe the efficiency is down a little

819
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: bit against you know, this Vikings team, But the Vikings

820
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: have allowed a lot of receiving yardage to wide receivers.

821
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 3: And over the last three weeks, not only has Calvin

822
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: Ridley had let's see, three hundred yards in his last

823
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: three games, I care more about the target chair it's

824
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: thirty four percent over his last three games. Like he

825
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: is a true alpha receiver. Now it's amazing. Like a

826
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 3: month ago, you could not start either Calvin Ridley or

827
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins in fantasy and now they're both like solid

828
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver twos, Like guys you want to get into

829
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: your starting lineup every week. So yeah, like for me,

830
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: he's back in the circle of trust, and we talked

831
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 3: about this on the starts at show Worm. There are

832
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: a lot of fantasy managers who have a lot of

833
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 3: scar tissue related to Calvin Ridley, and you know you

834
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: just got to pick that scab and roll with them, man,

835
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 3: Like this isn't a true alpha receiver right now.

836
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: The best way that I guess, the best parallel that

837
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 2: I can make about my feelings about Calvin Ridley, I

838
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: look at his situation and I look at Jacoby meyer situation,

839
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: and I think they are EXAs exactly the same, Like

840
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: both of them are going to see twenty eight to

841
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: thirty percent target shares, both are going to see a

842
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: ton of volume. Ridley's just had the big games, whereas

843
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 2: Myers is seeing the same target volume, same bad quarterback play,

844
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: but really just walk away with the big games lately.

845
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I he's one of those guys that I have

846
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: scar tissue from for sure. Deever, do you have like

847
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: a player that has burned you enough times on starting

848
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: them in the wrong weeks? Is there one that comes

849
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: to mind for you? Because really's not that.

850
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: Short list for me? Really's on the short list for

851
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: that the guy that I feel like I haven't gotten

852
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: right nearly enough. Like I pegged the really big game

853
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: that he had against New England, did not see the

854
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: one against the JSN has been flummencing, flummixing me this

855
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: this year, Like I feel like I got the one

856
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 2: big game against New England right, but the other one

857
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: I totally whiffed on. So yeah, it's been when do

858
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: you feel good about playing him?

859
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Browns at Saints. And we didn't really

860
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: talk about this guy on the start six shoh. I

861
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: wasn't on the waiver wire stuff in the early part

862
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: of the week. But I know a lot of people

863
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: on Sunday we're talking about we cannot actually in good

864
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: conscience recommend this guy. But I have to ask, considering

865
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: the game he's coming off of, are we starting Marquez

866
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Valdez Gantling coming off his three catch game for one

867
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: hundred and nine yards and two touchdowns? Fits where are

868
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: you ranking MVS?

869
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: Uh?

870
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 3: He's outside the top fifty for me, not too far

871
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: outside the top fifty. I've just I've seen too much

872
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: of the MVS show in Green Bay. There are moments,

873
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 3: but there's also a lot of misery, and it's just

874
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: it's always going to be a wide range of outcomes

875
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: for him because the target counts are unpredictable and usually

876
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 3: on the lower side, and he has this high average

877
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: depth of target, so they're going to be shot play

878
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 3: opportunities for him. And when he cashes in a couple

879
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 3: like he did last week, it looks glorious. But then

880
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna let one clang off his hands. They're gonna

881
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: be a couple that the connection just isn't on targets.

882
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: So no, I don't think you can start him with

883
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: any comfort level. I gotta say, though, Debro as a

884
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: Saints fan, for all his warts, Derek Carr throws a

885
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 3: really pretty deep ball.

886
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: Man.

887
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 5: It does like that guy can spin it.

888
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 2: It's one of the few freaking things he does well.

889
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: Debra, what do you think about MVS this week?

890
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: I've got him as a wide receiver four. I got

891
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: him at wide receiver forty seven. I agree with pretty

892
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 2: much everything fits, he said. The one thing I'll I'll

893
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: add here on MBS is to the point of like

894
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: fits he talking about like okay, as far as that

895
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: the high average up target the reason I'm higher than

896
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: FITZI and I have him as a wide receiver four

897
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: and I think there is a ceiling outcome this week

898
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 2: is because the correlation is true is you play MBS

899
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: versus teams that suck, versus deep balls that are bad

900
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: versus deep ball passing. And the Browns quietly have been

901
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: terrible versus that, Like they're allowing the fifth highest passing

902
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 2: yards or deep passing yards and they've allowed the seventh

903
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: highest deep passer rating. And speaking of Derek Carr's deep

904
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 2: ball's good. And so I think there is a ceiling

905
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: opportunity for MBS. But if you're playing him, just know

906
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: that the reality of him getting you sixteen points are saying,

907
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: like you know, two for eighty, the reality of him

908
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: getting you one for five as far as like one

909
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 2: reception five yards is just as real as the ceiling outcome.

910
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's really much more to add

911
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: on mvs. Obviously, great game last week, Still only three catches.

912
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: He's wide receiver fifty one an ECR right now for

913
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: a half PPR. So he broke a couple of spots higher,

914
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: but not like he's aggressively ahead of consensus on this one.

915
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: We're all kind of on the same page here. Let's

916
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: go to Seahawks at forty nine ers. Obviously good game

917
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: for the NFC West, the late Slate, the late afternoon slate,

918
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: not just Bill's Chiefs. It's all some really interesting games here.

919
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: We'll get to all of them. Seahawks Niners are the

920
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: first one. Though Christian McCaffrey returned last week, wasn't super

921
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: efficient running the ball, did have six catches for I

922
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: think sixty something yards. I forgot to write that down.

923
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: What did you do you think of his return in

924
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: week ten? De bro and what are your expectations for

925
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: him this weekend beyond? Is he back to a I

926
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: mean you're starting him obviously, but is he back to

927
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: a set and forget it, top three, top five running back?

928
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: I think he is based off of the volume and

929
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: Fitzy nailed this. I was more tentative last week. Fitzy

930
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 2: was all over this the entire week, like, if he

931
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: comes back, he's coming back to his his role. They're

932
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: not going to limit him. And I was I was wrong.

933
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: I was absolutely wrong, dude. He played eighty eight percent

934
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: of the snaps. He had nineteen touches, like.

935
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: Six catches with sixty eight yards. By the way, was

936
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: the number.

937
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: RB ten for the week and he I mean that

938
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: was basically with a if you because he didn't score

939
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 2: a touchdown, I'm not wrong in that, right, Guys, Like

940
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 2: if he scores a touchdown, he's a top three option

941
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 2: for the freaking week. So I will say that he

942
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 2: did look like a guy that was in his first

943
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: game back, Like the receiving utility is always going to

944
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: be there, like he could roll out of his roll

945
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: out of the bed and like get three for forty

946
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: through the air. But like the fact that in the

947
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: early downs he didn't force any mistackles and he only

948
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 2: got one point four to six yards up to contact

949
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: per attempt, I think is more indicative of where he's

950
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: at right now. So volume, touchdown equity, past game role,

951
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: all those things a gonna be awesome, But I think

952
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: that we're still gonna have to see, like he's gonna

953
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: be rounding into form now. Seattle could make him look

954
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: amazing this week because their run defense is bottom five,

955
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: so they're probably gonna boost a lot of these tackle

956
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: breaking metrics for him.

957
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 5: Though.

958
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: Fits CMC is back at RB one in ECR, so

959
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: everybody kind of saw with anything to seed and slide

960
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: him right back in that spot. Even ahead of guys

961
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: who've been doing it all year, like Derek Henry, like

962
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, who we already saw play last night. You know,

963
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: they're all behind Christian McCaffrey right now in the rankings,

964
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: and so were you just kind of full steam ahead

965
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: as if he had never been hurt.

966
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's my RB one. I did move him.

967
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: I initially had Saquon RB one, and regretfully I moved

968
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 3: McCaffrey ahead of him. Kyle Shanahan just can't resist giving

969
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: CMC more touches than a man of his stature should

970
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 3: probably be getting. But yeah, I thought it was gonna

971
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 3: be like fifteen or sixteen touches last week. It was

972
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 3: actually nineteen. We're rolling with him, and uh oh, by

973
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: the way, you also have to roll with Debo in

974
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 3: this matchup. Deebo just crucifies the Seahawks whenever he plays them.

975
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: Like over his last four games, Debo has been over

976
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 3: one hundred receiving yards in three of them, and I

977
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: think his low watermark was like seventy eight yards.

978
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 5: Like, Deebo just destroys Seattle.

979
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: Debro.

980
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned that one of your maybe scar t issue

981
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: guys is Jackson Smith and Jig. But where are you

982
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: ranking him this week in this matchup with DK Metcalf

983
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: likely returning.

984
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: I've got him as a wide receiver thirty four. I

985
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get a lot of targets, but I

986
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna I don't know what he's gonna

987
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: do very much with them. DK Metcalf is going to

988
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: be the primary option. And this all that comes back to,

989
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 2: like again, the coverages, Like since Week four, forty nine

990
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: ers have had fifty five percent of the defensive snap's

991
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: have been single high. The the target share re rearly

992
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 2: really moves in the direction of DK Metcalf when Seattle

993
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: faces a single high and Jackson, Smith and Jig, but

994
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: has not been great, I mean one point twenty five

995
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: yards per route run. San Francisco has also been very

996
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: good against slot wide receivers, like eleventh fewest fantasy points

997
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: per game. So I think he's gonna We're gonna see

998
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 2: one of those kind of four or say five catches

999
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: for fifty type of days out of JSM this week.

1000
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: By the way, is there anything official on Metcalf? I mean,

1001
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: I know we're all like very much assuming he's back

1002
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: this week.

1003
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: I didn't see he practiced in fold, so I mean,

1004
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 2: I think he could be a full.

1005
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I didn't do anything. Yeah, fits,

1006
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean the last time we saw JSN, he looked

1007
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: really good and looked like he was deserving of getting

1008
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: a whole lot more workload. But that was without DK Metcalf.

1009
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: So where are you ranking him this week?

1010
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 4: Right?

1011
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty yards in the two touchdowns against

1012
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 3: the Rams, And I want to be optimistic because that

1013
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 3: looked spectacular, But I'm pretty much right where Dee broy is.

1014
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: I've got a mid wide receiver thirty three. The thing is,

1015
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: he's played seven games with DK Metcalf this year. He

1016
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 3: is top fifty one yards in just one of those

1017
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: seven games.

1018
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: That was the Patriots game. I think, right, I think so, And.

1019
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: Where you guys are ranking DK Metcalf doesn't change based

1020
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: on the last thing we saw from JSN. Right, you

1021
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: think he's still solidified enough that whatever JSN does isn't

1022
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: going to impact him. Or do you think maybe they

1023
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: tried and split that difference a little bit more.

1024
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf's the alpha this passing at Tech. I got

1025
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: my I agree.

1026
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask, because again JSN does look amazing.

1027
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: Last time we saw where do you have DK this week?

1028
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: FITZI fourteen?

1029
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 3: That might be a little might be a little too low,

1030
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 3: but you know he's a guy.

1031
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 5: You're unquestionably starting in ECR.

1032
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: He is wide receiver thirteen, so right in that same spot, guys,

1033
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: Low testosterone effects about thirty percent of adult men in America.

1034

Speaker 1: Are you feeling the drag of fatigue, noticing a dip

00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: in muscle mass, or sensing a slump in libido? If so,

1036

1062
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: at Broncos. Broncos defense looks more like their usual strong

1063
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: cells against Kansas City than they had the week before.

1064
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: In Baltimore. Do you have any concerns for the top

1065
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: Falcons players in this matchup given how well the Broncos

1066
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: defense has played recently.

1067
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 3: Fits So, I don't know if we get smash games

1068
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 3: from Kirk Cousins, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts, But

1069
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone can stop be Jean Robinson

1070
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 3: right now. I don't really have any concerns for him.

1071
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 3: He has been just so impressive, so so good lately.

1072
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 3: He's averaging ninety two point six rushing yards over his

1073
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 3: last five games and five point three yards per carry.

1074
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 3: Just watching him like he is one of the smartest

1075
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: runners in the league. Just the way he sets up

1076
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 3: his blocks and knows exactly when to pump the brakes

1077
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 3: a little bit and when to punch the gas. It's

1078
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: just he's become such a fun guy to watch, and

1079
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 3: now the Falcons are finally like giving him the sort

1080
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: of workload he deserves a guy befitting his talent. I

1081
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 3: think over those last five games he's averaged something like

1082
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 3: seventeen point six rushing yards per game, Like that should

1083
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: be pretty much the floor for him every week. This

1084
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: guy needs to get at least sixteen or seventeen carries

1085
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 3: weekend week out.

1086
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: De bro, what do you think?

1087
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: I think Bjon is the truth. Since Week six, the

1088
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: RB one in fantasy by a decent margin two point

1089
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 2: six fantasy points per game. Just Bijon has been amazing.

1090
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: He hasn't scored less than twenty one point five Fantasy

1091
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: points in PPR setting over these last five games. So

1092
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 2: I echo everything fits just said. I think that looking

1093
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: at this matchup, I think this game points specifically to

1094
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 2: two two players being or should be the focal point

1095
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: for how Atlanta attacks Denver, and that is Bijon, that

1096
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: is also Kyle Pitts. The secondary for Denver has been very,

1097
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 2: very good. The coverage structure for them is really leans

1098
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 2: itself to Kyle Pitts. They run Denver runs single high

1099
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 2: almost fifty nine percent of the defensive snaps Kyle Pits

1100
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: versus single high two point eight three yards per route run.

1101
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: So you're staying away from the good corners specifically, and

1102
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 2: I mean that's gonna lead me right into Drake London. Dude,

1103
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have gone back and forth so

1104
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: much about where the hell am I going to rank

1105
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 2: Drake London for this week. I have him at wide

1106
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 2: receiver twenty four right now, I really want to push

1107
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: him into wide receiver three territory. And I know people

1108
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: are gonna say, like that is an overreaction, but before

1109
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: I really I really want to know where you have

1110
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 2: him this week, FITZI. But before we get to that, like,

1111
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 2: I just got to bring this up. Man, Like the

1112
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: Week one matchup that he had against Joey Porter, I

1113
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 2: think we see shades of that this week. Patrick Sirsan

1114
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: is going to shadow him. That is going to happen.

1115
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: And in Week one, Joey Porter followed drake Lonnon on

1116
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: sixty five percent of his routes. Drake Lonnon had one

1117
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 2: catch and seven receptions. Patrick Scsan has shadowed five times

1118
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: this season, following a wide receiver on at least sixty

1119
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 2: percent of the routes. None none of those wide receivers

1120
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 2: have surpassed thirty receiving yards in his primary coverage and

1121
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 2: zero touchdowns with certain shadowed them. So like, I am

1122
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 2: hugely worried about Drake len I'm like, he's got a

1123
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 2: score this week to maybe even be like a wide

1124
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 2: receiver three. But Fitzy, am I overreacting here.

1125
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 3: I'm maybe not as positive as you are that London

1126
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 3: is going to be shadowed by Sirtan Like I know, pff,

1127
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 3: I think they're projecting Darnell Mooney to actually run more

1128
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 3: rout since is the coverage of Cirtan than than I

1129
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 3: don't know if that's right. Like, it wouldn't shock me

1130
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 3: if London did get the shadow. I've got him in

1131
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: wide receiver fifteen, and it's mostly that I don't really

1132
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 3: like any of the options after about wide receiver thirteen

1133
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 3: or fourteen, like Metcalf, and then things go down hell

1134
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 3: fast after that.

1135
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: He shadowed Metcalf, Mike Evans, George Pickens, and Garrett Wilson

1136
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 2: on at least sixty percent of the routes. He followed

1137
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: Myers on fifty percent of his routes, and nobody, nobody,

1138
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, he didn't shadow anybody outside of that. But

1139
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 2: that's that's a freaking impressive list of good dudes that

1140
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: he just shut down.

1141
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the game of the week, Chiefs at Bills,

1142
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,479
Speaker 1: one of the games of the season. Rather than trying

1143
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: to identify one question to analyze in this game, I

1144
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of let you guys have a chance

1145
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: to pick one player who you think in this game

1146
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: will outperform expectations, and one player who you think in

1147
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: this game will underperform expectations. And by the way, while

1148
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: we were recording, it was announced that Dalton Kincaid is

1149
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: officially out for this game. That as well fits I'll

1150
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: start with you here. Pick one player who will outperform

1151
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: expectations and one player who will underperform.

1152
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 3: Then I guess I gotta steal Dawson Knox from Debro

1153
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 3: just like that's the guy. Like Kincaid is out and

1154
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have given up the most receiving yards in

1155
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: the league to tight ends, it just seems like, you know,

1156
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 3: plus Amari Cooper, we don't really know about his status.

1157
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 3: It seems like he's tracking to play with his wrist injury,

1158
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 3: but like he's said, it gives him some difficulty catching

1159
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 3: the ball, So if that turns out to be a problem.

1160
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 3: We know Keon Coleman's not playing for the Bills, so

1161
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Dawson Knox with

1162
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 3: like five or six catches for fifty plus yards underperform

1163
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 3: James Cook like the Chiefs run Dye has just been

1164
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 3: lights out fifty two point six rushing yards per game

1165
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 3: allowed to running backs, three point two yards per carry

1166
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 3: allowed to running backs, third in the league in DVOA

1167
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 3: against the run, and Cook's probably gonna need rushing volume

1168
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 3: to uh, you know, make his bones in fantasy this week.

1169
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 3: He doesn't always get it. He's had twelve or fewer

1170
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 3: carries in four of his nine games.

1171
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 5: So far this season.

1172
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: Do you throw what you think?

1173
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1174
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: The Dawson Knox call, I mean right now with the newsworm,

1175
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: I just moved Dawson Knox up to tight end twelve,

1176
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 2: and I mean people are going to say that's too high, bro, Like,

1177
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: come on, like.

1178
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 5: I had I had him at te twelve already. Yep,

1179
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 5: you bro.

1180
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, he all I needed was the confirmation

1181
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 2: that he was going to be their starter this week.

1182
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: That's all I was waiting for. I think he's going

1183
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: to crush. The other guy that I will highlight here

1184
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 2: is Khalil Shakir. I've got him. Where's the ECR at

1185
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 2: right now? On him? Worm? Because I'm kind of curious,

1186
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 2: like I haven't looked and seen that I want to

1187
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: be above, massively above consensus on him.

1188
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: See the ECR has him at wide receiver twenty six.

1189
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 2: I've got him at wide receiver fifteen this week. And

1190
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 2: anybody that thinks that's crazy, dude, anybody that thinks that crazy,

1191
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: that's crazy has not been reading the primer and has

1192
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 2: not seen what Kansas City has done versus slot receivers,

1193
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: Like they're allowing the fourth highest receiving yards per game

1194
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 2: and the second highest fantasy points per game to opposing

1195
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 2: slot wide receivers. Coverage matchup is as it's immaculate, like

1196
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 2: you could not draw up a better coverage matchup for

1197
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir, like Kansas City has the third highest rate

1198
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: of too high against too high this year Khalil Shakir

1199
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: since Week seven, since basically he has been thrust into

1200
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 2: this high volume roll against too high since week seven,

1201
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: thirty percent target chare for Khalil Shakir forty percent first

1202
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 2: read here like, so Josh Allen when he drops back

1203
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 2: this week, it's going to be I'm looking for Shakir,

1204
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 2: where's he at? Okay, Dawson Knox, where are you at?

1205
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 2: That's the two reads every single time, and and Fitzied

1206
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: nailed this. I have nothing else to add on James

1207
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 2: Cook bad matchup. I'm worried about him.

1208
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: What about on the Chief side, because you guys both

1209
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: picked both players on the Bill side. Is there anybody

1210
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: in the Chief side that you think will either outperform

1211
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: or underperform expectations this week?

1212
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 2: Dude, I want to be above consensus. Where where's DeAndre

1213
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 2: Hopkins in ECR right now?

1214
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: Hopkins is at wide receiver twenty one.

1215
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got him at wide receiver fourteen, And I

1216
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: really think that, you know, we look at the name

1217
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: of the Bills on paper and we say, wow, it's

1218
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: a past defense to stay away from. They've shown some

1219
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 2: kind of cracks in the pavement over the last few weeks.

1220
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: Since Week five, they've allowed the tenth most Fantasy points

1221
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: per game to perimeter wide receivers. I think Hopkins is

1222
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: set up for a quietly like really really good game

1223
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 2: like and that that also flows over to Patrick Mahomes like.

1224
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if people realize this is a quiet,

1225
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: like damn good spot for both of them.

1226
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: If it's any thoughts on the Chief side.

1227
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 3: Quickly, yeah, I mean, I'm not My concern about Hopkins

1228
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 3: te Bro is if Juju is coming back and they

1229
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: put Juju back in that slot roll that Rashi Rice roll,

1230
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 3: is there going to be the sort of target count

1231
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 3: we want for DeAndre Hopkins?

1232
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

1233
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 3: Like, is he going to get Pepper in the same

1234
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 3: way if Juju is back? And like, I don't expect

1235
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 3: Juju to be getting a full Rashi Rice target load

1236
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 3: now that you know Kelsey has been taken out of

1237
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 3: moth balls and Hopkins is there. But I do wonder

1238
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 3: if targets maybe get chopped up a little and we

1239
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: can't count on Hopkins for even like seven or eight targets.

1240
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 2: The biggest pushback I have on Juju right now is

1241
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't think in his first game back, as much

1242
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 2: as he's dealt with hamstring issues, I don't think he's

1243
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 2: gonna be a full time player. So I think we

1244
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: you know, it's a valid concern. I think in the

1245
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: next like two to three weeks, I don't think he's

1246
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: gonna be a full time player. This week, I think

1247
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna see like a thirty to forty percent

1248
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 2: route share. I think they're probably gonna mix him in

1249
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: with Justin Watson this week. So that's that's probably just

1250
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 2: the difference in how we how we're viewing this week's outlook.

1251
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: Bengals at Chargers. Before we get to the key question

1252
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: for Sunday Night's matchup, I want to ask you guys

1253
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: about your Uber Eats Sunday Night Meals of the week debro.

1254
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: What must order food gets you reaching for your Uber

1255
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Eats app for great game day deals when you think

1256
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles?

1257
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Dude, I know we went back and forth on this

1258
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: and we were like, Okay, what are we Who am

1259
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 2: I going to talk about? Like I almost kind of

1260
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 2: went to my go to here, but I have to

1261
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: bring up Pink's hot dogs like that. That was the

1262
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: go to for me. Like, dude, I know, hot dogs

1263
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 2: like are kind of the ick for a lot of people.

1264
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: But a good freaking chili dog there's I just it's

1265
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: one of my comfort food. Man.

1266
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: So, like I was shacked. Dog that you dropped in

1267
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: slack is ridiculous.

1268
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 2: Oh my dude, it's ridiculous. A nine inch stretch dog

1269
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 2: with onions, mustard and freaking onion rings on it, specifically

1270
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: four of them for all of his championship rings. I

1271
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I just I mean give me three

1272
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 2: of them. I'm in heaven. I'm in heaven.

1273
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: I actually can't stand onion rings. For the record, fits

1274
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: what is your game, Dame de Old in Los Angeles.

1275
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 5: I'm going to hear about the onion ring thing in

1276
01:00:59,280 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 5: a second word.

1277
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 3: But so normally my answers are are pretty carnivore friendly.

1278
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 3: But I do appreciate a good chopped salad, and I

1279
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 3: know Los Angeles is the birthplace of the chopped salad,

1280
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 3: and there's some places in town that do it really well.

1281
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: The correct answer for Los Angeles is street tacos, and

1282
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: that's what I will be picking. I am a fairly

1283
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: picky eater, as evidenced by the onion rings, so I'm

1284
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: like pretty particular about what I have in my tacos.

1285
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: But the style of street tacos is particularly in the

1286
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: place like la is just like one of the best

1287
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: foods on earth.

1288
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 2: So I got boo this man when this gets posted

1289
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: to YouTube, Boo this man on his onion ring take.

1290
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 2: I got it has to happen.

1291
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't like that.

1292
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know, like I'm gonna have like gut

1293
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 2: through the rest of this show just to deal with

1294
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 2: that take.

1295
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 5: I don't like onion what's the beef with onion rings?

1296
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: It's the idice.

1297
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't like onions. I don't like that. So remember,

1298
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: as we've talked about before, I don't have a sense

1299
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: of smell, so texture is very important to me. And

1300
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: when I bite into an onion, it feels like even

1301
01:01:58,280 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: like a small piece of an onion, like the chopped

1302
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: up or whatever. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me,

1303
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Like I just can't see. Is it like the crunchy

1304
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: like or I just don't like the texture of onions.

1305
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what onions and tomatoes are like, the

1306
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: two big ones that like, and they're in a lot

1307
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: of stuff, which is unfortunate. But yeah, that's that's my

1308
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: only beef with onion rings.

1309
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Now, it's not unfortunate for you because you're not eating.

1310
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: The style of onion rings is great. I'm sure you

1311
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: know anything fried is awesome, but yeah, the the onion itself.

1312
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 2: Not for me.

1313
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: There, you guys have it or Uber Eats Sunday Night

1314
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: meals of the week, street tacos for me, the shack

1315
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: Dog for Debro, and a chopped salad for fits. Uber

1316
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Eats has the best game day deals all season. Long

1317
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: order now for game day, just please leave out the

1318
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,959
Speaker 1: onions the list.

1319
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: It's making me feel like I need to make healthier

1320
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 2: life choices. I'm gonna say that.

1321
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, going to a salad. The list of quarterbacks playing

1322
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: better than Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert right now is

1323
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: quite short, and they are ranked back to back in

1324
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: ECR for Week eleven. Who do you like better for

1325
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: this Sunday night football matchup? Fits? And I will note

1326
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: T Higgins is expected to play.

1327
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got to be Burrow, Not so much because

1328
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 3: of Higgins, simply because the Chargers will take the air

1329
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 3: out of the ball if they can. It is a

1330
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 3: Greg Roman offense, after all, Whereas Burrow is gonna throw

1331
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 3: and throw a lot his pass attempts the last three

1332
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 3: games thirty seven, thirty nine, and fifty six. So yeah,

1333
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 3: like that's how the Bengals roll, like they are gonna

1334
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 3: fire away on you, and you know, the Chargers kind

1335
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 3: of want to be a little more buttoned down, buttoned

1336
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 3: down with their offense.

1337
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Debro, what do you think I think we might see

1338
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: another shootout similar to what we saw from the Bengals

1339
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday night last week.

1340
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a shootout. I definitely go.

1341
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm going Burrow. I think he's arguably playing the best

1342
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 2: football of his career right now. I've gonna make QB six.

1343
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: I got Herbert a QB eight. I think that the Bengals,

1344
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 2: if they do what we all think they're going to

1345
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 2: do in this game, and they're gonna put up points

1346
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: and they're gonna score, and they're going to pass, it's

1347
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,479
Speaker 2: going to force the Chargers out of their comfort zone.

1348
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 2: They're not going to be able to They're not going

1349
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 2: to be able to run the ball. I think as

1350
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 2: effectively as a lot of people think that they're going

1351
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: to in this one. Cincinnati's run defense has quietly been

1352
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: much better since Week five. They're allowing the fifth lowest

1353
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 2: explicive run rate, twelfth lowest misstackle rate, and yards are

1354
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 2: to contact per attempt. So I think that this run

1355
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 2: defense has gotten better, and the matchup itself, Herbert's going

1356
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: to have to take to the air man. And this

1357
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 2: is also I'm going to issue my apology letter to

1358
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 2: FITZI here with Will Disley again surprising tight end ones

1359
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 2: for the week. I have Will Disley inside my top

1360
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 2: twelve f.

1361
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: It's this quarterback matchup is too good for a salad.

1362
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: I know that you are any deed healthier as to

1363
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: get older, So who am I to judge your diet?

1364
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: But eight Bura Herbert that deserves meat and grease and

1365
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: sow it deserves street tacos is really what it is?

1366
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 3: Good chill we have we have eaten meals together where

1367
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 3: you know that I'm not any sort of health food

1368
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 3: not like there's no mistake.

1369
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: What do we combine for about nine burgers in Canton

1370
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: this year at Georgia's exactly I've seen fits.

1371
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: He put down some food, man, Dude, didn't it? Yeah,

1372
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 2: it's impressive.

1373
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Texas at Cowboys Monday Night

1374
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Football to wrap things up on a scale of one

1375
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: to ten, Debro, what is your panic level for Ceede

1376
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: lamb Fantasy manager's rest of season? After he had twenty

1377
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: one yards on ten targets in his first start with

1378
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush at quarterback.

1379
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: We're going full spinal tap. I'm kicking it up to

1380
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: eleven eleven. I did wow, Cooper Rush is terrible and

1381
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 2: there's nothing Trey Lance is not any better? Uh So, yeah,

1382
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: I've I've had two big conundrums this week about rankings.

1383
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 2: It's where where the heck do I put Drake London?

1384
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 2: And how many wide receivers do I stack above CD Lamb?

1385
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 2: Like right now I've got Ceedee Lamb as wide receiver

1386
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 2: twenty seven. And this is not a Ceedee Lamb problem.

1387
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 2: This is a Cooper Rush problem. And Dallas's offense is

1388
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we're going to talk about not want to

1389
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 2: start any pass catchers from Chicago or possibly Jacksonville this week.

1390
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to start anybody from freaking Dallas. Dude,

1391
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush. I mean like he finished last week with

1392
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 2: negative Fantasy points. He did not even cross one hundred

1393
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 2: passing yards. How do we feel any better about Ceede

1394
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Lamb this week? I'm moving forward.

1395
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: I can't wide receiver seventeen and ECR debro too high

1396
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: to lower.

1397
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: It's way too freaking high.

1398
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: That's what do you think?

1399
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 3: I've actually got him one spot a higher ed wide

1400
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 3: receiver sixteen, and my panic meter might be broken because

1401
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm getting the same five reading that I had for

1402
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. I might have to unplug it and plug

1403
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 3: it back in.

1404
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 2: Did you turn it off?

1405
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 3: We'll turn it back on fancy maybe maybe things are

1406
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 3: going to continue to be bad for Lamb, Like we

1407
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 3: can't rule that out. But and I mentioned this before,

1408
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: possibly on the show. When Dak Prescott got hurt early

1409
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty two season and Cooper Rush had

1410
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 3: to make five starts, Lamb averaged six point two catches

1411
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 3: and seventy six yards in those five games. So those

1412
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 3: are good numbers. He had a couple of touchdowns in

1413
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 3: those five games. That's at least a little bit of

1414
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 3: reason to hold out hope for Ceedee Lamb.

1415
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I will say that the schedule right now for Dallas

1416
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 2: is horrible, like with Houston and Washington. The next two weeks,

1417
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 2: especially if Lattimore gets healthy, he does open up that

1418
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb probably has much better days. Like I'll be

1419
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 2: ranking him as a wide receiver two in weeks probably

1420
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 2: thirteen through fifteen. They get the Giants, the Bengals, and

1421
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 2: then the Panthers and then the Buccaneers in six week sixteen,

1422
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 2: But do they get the Philadelphia Eagles in week seventeen.

1423
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know how anybody's going to start him

1424
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 2: in the fantasy championship week.

1425
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: By the way, we're about to wrap up, but just

1426
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: because you always give me a hard time for not

1427
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,479
Speaker 1: doing older movies. I have seen this as Spinal Tap.

1428
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: It is good. It is not my favorite of the

1429
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: to for guest mockumentaries, It's like probably my third favorite.

1430
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: Best In Show is the best one of those, and

1431
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: I think A Mighty wind Is is maybe even better

1432
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: than the Spinal Tap. They're all very good. I love

1433
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,439
Speaker 1: those movies, but I have seen Spinal Tap.

1434
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Did your mom make you watch those movies while she

1435
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: was in town? No? She did, nice to be asked.

1436
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: No, my best friend in high school growing up was

1437
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: very into those Best and Show was the first one

1438
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: I saw that movie.

1439
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 2: He was thinking it too, and then.

1440
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: I saw a bunch of the other ones from there.

1441
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: So if those are great movies, I would strongly recommend

1442
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: them if anybody hasn't seen them. And I just wanted

1443
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: it on record because of how much you bring up

1444
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: the movie stuff I've seen, Fitz. Do you like those movies?

1445
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: Your pop culture takes are so bad.

1446
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 5: I do love those movies.

1447
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 3: The mockumentaries are great, but Spinal Taps always going to

1448
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 3: be my favorite. I mean, they just take every heavy

1449
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 3: metal trope and it's so good, skew words so well.

1450
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 1: We started the show talking about rock music and we

1451
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: ended up talking about this is spinal tap. That's pretty fitted.

1452
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: We're opp up there for Fits and dee Bro. I'm

1453
