9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: have any fun Halloween weekend outings? I did. I went

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: to a Halloween party on Saturday. Uh, we're not dressing

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: up today, but I wore a Rick and Morty's shirt

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: because I was Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty and

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Nicolett was Morty. So it was a fun weekend. How

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: about you. I'm I'm old and I'm a dad, So no,

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything at all, although I'm like the

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: kid trigger treating tonight. That should be a whole lot

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, so we'll see how that goes. So

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: we are pretty touch through week eight. Now, you got

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: one more game coming up tonight that is should be

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: an interesting one and uh, you know, we'll dive into

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: some other things around Week eight of the season. We

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: have the biggest fantasy takeaways, our waiver wire targets, and

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: plus our trick or treat fantasy players so far this season.

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: But let's start with a fantasy headline. There's not a

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: lot in the way of news, but I think it's

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: worth mentioning what Christian McCaffrey did on Sunday for the

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: forty Niners against the Los Angeles Rams, first player with

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, and passing touchdown in a

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: single game since Ladinian Tomlinson did it in Week six

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: of two thousand and five. The final line four McCaffrey

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: in that game eight teen carries for ninety four yards

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: in a touchdown, nine targets which he turned into eight

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: catches in fifty five yards in a receiving touchdown, and

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: thirty four passing yards and a touchdown that was forty

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 1: point to fantasy points. There. Obviously, changing scenery has nothing

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: to do with impacting Christian and McCaffrey. Now, the question is, though,

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: once Deepo Salmon gets back and healthy after the bye,

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: how good is this offense going to be? Yeah? I know,

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: after one week of having them, people were like trolling

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the NFL's post when it was like best offense in

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: the league question mark, but like, yeah, this, I don't

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: know if it'll be the best offense in the league,

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: but it's easily the most talented. I would say, like,

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: you have a top water receiver, a top running back,

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends in football, and they

46
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: all bring a unique skill set. And what I loved

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: is like I think they could all kind of meshed together, right.

48
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: I know we might see Debo without maybe with some

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: less carries, but like if we're getting CMC throwing the ball,

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: if he's getting used in the on the ground and

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: in the past game, I think it's fine. And I

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: think if we knew CMC would be a forty Niner,

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Like if he was a forty Knoiner at the start

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of the year, he's the one on one, no doubt,

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: he's hands down and every one overall pick if we

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna be in San Francisco at the

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: start of the year. So obviously Kyle Shanahan seems to

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: be doing a pretty good job of meshing all of

59
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: these players. But we'll wait. The Niners are out to

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: buy this week, next week, we'll have Christian McCaffrey knowing

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the full playbook and a health adebo Samuel. We have

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: not seen those two things coincide so far this season.

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: So that gets us to our biggest takeaways from Sunday Floria,

64
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and I always pool our resources that come up with

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: five things we learned. So for you, what is the

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: first takeaway from this past weekend. I don't think this

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: one's a surprise, but the Colts running backs are clearly

68
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: going to miss Matt Ryan. I mean Matt Ryan every

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: year is up there. It's Hammer Tom Brady competing for

70
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: the most passes thrown to the running back position. And

71
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: then in one game with Sam Ellinger, Uh Jonathan Taylor

72
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: one target, no catches him Hans two targets, two catches,

73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: and that's it. Typically like a week before John Taylor

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: had eight targets and seven catches. We've seen Dion Jackson

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: of double digit catch week in this backfield. So would

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: have been keeping these these Colts running backs afloat because

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: their old line has been struggling as all of these

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: dump off passes. You take that away, and now I

79
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: think you have to be very worried about John the

80
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Taylor and I don't know if heem Hans is worth

81
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: roster and let alone started. Yeah, I think that he

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: Haynes can go back to the waiver wire at this point.

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: And yes, Ellinger is not really throwing to his backs

84
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: after one game, and we always worry about that with

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are mobile, will they throw those dump offs?

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: And at least after one game it didn't happen for me.

87
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is just setting you up for more heartbreak.

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: And I know everybody was excited about what we saw.

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean my Twitter timeline was slot machine. When he

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: caught that touchdown on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, he

91
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: got some looks, actually had a really good game. And

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: for all the folks who were stubborn enough or steadfast

93
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: enough pick your adjective to keep starting him, congrats because

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: you did get a good game out of Kyle Pitts.

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: But he also had a lesser target share than in

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: some of his previous weeks. And it's still an offense

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: that's not going to throw the football a whole lot.

98
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: They're still going to lean heavy on the run. They're

99
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna keep Marcus Mariota under wraps. So there's a very

100
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: good chance that next week we go back to the

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: same level of Kyle Pitts production we had seen so far.

102
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: So this was great. I'm glad it happened. We all

103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: love Kyle Pitts, we want more from him. I'm just

104
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: not sure that this is gonna be him turning a

105
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: corner and suddenly being the tight that we want him

106
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: to be. Agreed, And I think the approach with Kyle

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: Pitts has to kind of be what the approach would

108
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill has been, Like, I understand the floor is

109
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: very low, but the upside is so high. When we're

110
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: talking tight ends. He's better than a lot of the

111
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: streaming options. I'll just leave him in there and live

112
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: with what I get. I think that's that's kind of

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: the best way to handle it there. What else did

114
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: you find out from Sunday? Justin Fields has league winning

115
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: potential here and for all of last year and the

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: first month or so of this season, the Bears were

117
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: really trying to fit a square peg into a round

118
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: hole right like they were trying to make Justin Fields

119
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: a pocket passer. And in the last couple of weeks

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: we've seen more design runs where they're letting him roll

121
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: out more and throw on the run, which is just

122
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: where he's more comfortable. He himself has been saying this,

123
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: and it's I'm so happy the Bears are finally designing

124
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: an offense around their quarterback strengths. But three straight weeks

125
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: now with over sixty rushing yards in each game, of

126
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown in his last two, over eighteen fantasy points

127
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: in three straight over twenty three and his last two,

128
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: this guy right here, he could be like last year's

129
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts with what he doesn't have to put up

130
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: huge passing numbers to be a lead winner. I just

131
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: love seeing the designed runs for for justin fields. That

132
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: makes all the difference in the world, and it seems

133
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: to open up so many other things in the passing

134
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: game for the Bears as well. Talking about running, you

135
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: can start all of your running backs against the Jacksonville Jaguars,

136
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: and I went into last week thinking that Latavius Murray

137
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: had some sleeper appeal and Melvin Gordon was probably worth starting,

138
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: and it turned out they were both decent. I think

139
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: combined the lay scored twenties seven points. If you had

140
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: formed them into one running back, you would have had

141
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: maybe a top five running back this week. But I

142
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: think the point stands that during this recent losing streak

143
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have, which is now five in a row,

144
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: I believe they are giving up a ton of yards

145
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: on the ground. And if you have a good running back,

146
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: especially you're you're starting him. But even if you're looking

147
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: at a guy who's sort of a mid range guy

148
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: and you're looking for a sleeper or a flex play

149
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: you can target to Jacksonville Jaguars. The run defense has

150
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: been bad and there's no signs that it's going to

151
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: be getting better anytime soon. Last one, what else did

152
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: you find out this week? That Andy Dalton gets the

153
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: absolute most out of Alvin Kamara and there's a reason

154
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: why the Saints have decided to play him over a

155
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: healthy Jamis Winston, And I think it's because they can

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: see their offense reverting back to how it was with

157
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, which is a lot of dump offs to

158
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: the running backs and a lot of letting their best playmaker,

159
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara do what he does in space. In games

160
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: where Jamis Winston has started this year, Camaro was averaging

161
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: five and a half targets two and a half catches

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: ten reck yards per game while averaging less than eight

163
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: and a half fantasy points per game. In the three

164
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: games with Dalton, it's twenty and a half fantasy points

165
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: per game, almost over eight targets, over six catches, and

166
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards receiving yards per game. He's just he's

167
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: the Alvin Camaro of old with Andy Dalton, and he's

168
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: like a borderline HARV two. When when Jamis Winston starts,

169
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what happens to the Saints

170
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: offense when and if Michael Thomas comes back, and I

171
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: have no idea when that's going to be at this point,

172
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no indication that it's soon. But it

173
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: was nice to see Alvin Kamara looked like the guy

174
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: that we were used to drafting near the top of

175
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: fantasy drafts UH in the past few seasons. Top performers

176
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: four week eight to a tongue of Violoa nearly four

177
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards and almost thirty fantasy points. There Alvin Kamara.

178
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: We talked about forty two point eight fantasy, but Christian

179
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: mcaffe at a forty point dan, he wasn't the top

180
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: sporting running back that says a lot about what Camara did.

181
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: A J Brown went bananas. One fifty six and three touchdowns.

182
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: That's thirty nine point six. Tyler Conklin doing things again.

183
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in a while. Nearly twenty six

184
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. There, Nick Folk with eight teen points due

185
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: to five field goals in the Saints defense. Sixteen points

186
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. You know, I actually had it the

187
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: limit one league, but I had the Saints defense and

188
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense. I started the Eagles and actually had

189
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: a decent game. They had fourteen points, I believe it was.

190
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: But I could have stayed with the Saints, and actually

191
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: when I had more points, I would stay trying to

192
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: trade one. But I don't think anyone's gonna know one's

193
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: gonna trade me for defense. That's that's what's not gonna happen.

194
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk some of the top performers. Though Deant Foreman

195
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: did not make that list of the tops scoring player

196
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: at his position, but it was a big day for

197
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: Deonta Foreman. And I'm wondering, even when Chuba Hubbard comes back,

198
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing with Foreman? Is it's still worth

199
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: maybe starting him if you if you need help at

200
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, I think right now he is someone

201
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: that you can get into your starting lineup because of

202
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: the type of volume that he sees. I do feel

203
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: bad for him thirty two fantasy points. He's not He's

204
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: the r B five on the week. He just picked

205
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: the wrong week to go off. But yes, part of

206
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: this was that it was against the Atlanta Falcons. I

207
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: don't think he'll put up this type of production each

208
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: and every week. But on the show last week, Marcus

209
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: I said after this game against the Falcons, I think

210
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: I'd be looking to sell uh Deonta Foreman if he

211
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: had a big game. I still stand by that, But

212
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: the Haskin price has definitely gone up a whole lot

213
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: more than I anticipated. Yeah, I think it definitely has. Now.

214
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on what Chuba Hubbard's situation is,

215
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be able to play, and how that

216
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: sort of plays into it. But Foreman looks like he's

217
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: ready to take over that number one running back role

218
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: there in care A Lina, And you're right, yes, they're

219
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: they're not gonna play the Falcons every week, but the

220
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: volume should definitely help. I was just peeking out a

221
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: schedule I guess it's worth noting that he literally plays

222
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons in two weeks. There you go, so hold

223
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: on to him and wait two more weeks and then

224
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: if you're trading deadline hasn't hit, then you can try

225
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: to move him. There other running backs who had big

226
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: days Tony Pollard, and that was one where Fantasy Twitter

227
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: took a collective victory lap. We were all hand in

228
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: hand and we were all popping champagne together because every

229
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: single Fantasy annas was like, start Tony Pollard this week,

230
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: and it worked out three rushing touchdowns against the Bears

231
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: this past week. But the caveat to this was after

232
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: the game, Jerry Jones was asked about what the backfield

233
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: situation was, and essentially he said, we go as Zeke goes,

234
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: which is to say that once Ezekiel Elliott's healthy, he's

235
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna be bad to being the lead running back there.

236
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: So what does this mean for Tony Pollard? Unfortunately, I

237
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: think it means Tony Pollard is who he kind of

238
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: has been all year, which is a running back that

239
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: is gonna get his like ten to fifteen touches each week.

240
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: He has such high upside because he's so explosive, but

241
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be down weeks where they just give the

242
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: ball to Zeke more than we want. I was hoping

243
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: that a strong game like this would lead them maybe

244
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: to at least be like, we need to get Tony

245
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Pollard more involved on a weekly basis because he is

246
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: their most explosive option that I don't want to say

247
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: there's no value in what Zeke brings, but what Tony

248
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: Pollard brings is what a lot of teams are like

249
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: designing their offenses around. So I wish the Cowboys would

250
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: use him more, but hey, they're just keeping him fresh

251
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: for whoever signed him in this offseason. I guess that's

252
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: what the whole thing is going to be. The one

253
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: thing I did notice about Polertics that they still sort

254
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: of limited his touches. I think they had fifteen touches

255
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: in the game, So even with him being the main

256
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: running back, they still aren't loading him up with opportunities,

257
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's sort of worth noting. But look,

258
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: even me as somebody who really has tried to defend Zeke,

259
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I looked at what happened. You say, it was like, yeah,

260
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard looks good. There was just no way around

261
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: that at all. D J Moore has looked good the

262
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Last week he had his best fantasy

263
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: game of the season, and I was like, hey, I

264
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: think you gotta start him. This week he had an

265
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: even bigger game, six catches for a buck fifty two

266
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Also had a penalty that made things

267
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: a little bit awkward for the Panthers, but that has

268
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: nothing to do with what he did in fantasy. P

269
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: J Walker has been very, very good for him. How

270
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: are you viewing him now wide receiver to where where

271
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: are you putting d J Moore? I think wide receiver

272
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: two is a is the fair place to put him.

273
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: I will say like, I still have some concerns just

274
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: because it's hard for me to shake off what he

275
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: did in the first half month of the season. And

276
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: p J Walker has been playing very well. But we

277
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: know p J Walker isn't you know, a top tier

278
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: quarterback or anything like that. But that being said, I

279
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: think we do need to give more a pass on

280
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: the first month of the season. We've seen a coaching change,

281
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: we've seen a quarterback change. So while I might not

282
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: feel as bullish as some people felt about him coming

283
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: into the year on the fans, on the teams that

284
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: I do have him on, I at least feel comfortable

285
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: being like I can start this guy either as my

286
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver two or a flex and not the mustar

287
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: guy I thought he would be coming in, but much

288
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: better than what it's been. Yeah, that's that's my thing.

289
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be what you thought he was going

290
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: to be, but he's going to be better than he

291
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: has been. So it's nice to see p J. Walker

292
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: getting him involved, getting him going. And some of them

293
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: may have to do with the fact that, look, where

294
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: else are they going with the football right? No, no

295
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, No Robby Anderson. I know Terris Marshall Jr.

296
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: Actually made an appearance and it played well last week.

297
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: He's a waiver wire guy, I think this week a

298
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a lower name, but still someone I

299
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: think you shouldn't take notice that. So, but d J.

300
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Moore is back, so I think we can kind of

301
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable with him going forward. You saw Tyler

302
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: Conklin on that board. He had a couple of touchdowns

303
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets, and this was the guy

304
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: that earlier in the season was very quietly hanging around.

305
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: He's like a top five tied end. Then he sort

306
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: of faded. When you look at what happened yesterday, is

307
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: that Tyler Conklin kind of coming back or is this

308
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: just a one off from from earlier in the year.

309
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a full one off, but

310
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm not confident trusting Tyler Conklin more than like a

311
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: or bust tight end too. I think he's like a

312
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: high end tight end too. Each week. It's worth noting

313
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that he did have six targets a week ago, so

314
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: sixteen targets in his last two games nothing to sneeze at.

315
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: But given who his quarterback is and and how the

316
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: Jets offense has operated, I can't tell you like he's

317
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: a tight end one that you could start each week.

318
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: He's just if you need a streaming guy, He's always

319
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: an option. You talk about the quarterback players, Zack Wilson

320
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: is an adventure, and not in the fun way. It's

321
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: there are some throws he makes for it's like, what

322
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: are you looking at me? Yesterday I was like, is

323
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: he like a psychop or whatever? For the Patriots because

324
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: he threw two balls solely two pageots directly to the Patriots.

325
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I was, it's amazing. So yeah, he's he's definitely a

326
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: work in progress. But Tyler Conklin, if you stuck with

327
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: him or you streamed him, congrats to you. So those

328
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: are the guys that did well. Now to the guys

329
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: who are a disappointments, who let you down this week?

330
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Mr Daniel Jones. After I spent all of last week

331
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: hyping you up and saying how good you've been playing

332
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: and and how you've been getting production with your legs,

333
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: what did you do this week? A hundred and seventies

334
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: six pass yards, no touchdowns. He rushed for just twenty yards.

335
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: That has been his low the last couple of weeks.

336
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: So disappointing. And I will give credit to the Seahawks defense.

337
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: They've been playing much better football the last couple of weeks.

338
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: They're not a team that you can just pick on,

339
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: as we learned the hard way with Daniel Jones. But

340
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I also want to take this second market just to

341
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: be like Richie James. This is also on you a

342
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: little bit about that one, but two punts come, what

343
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Just be a little bit better

344
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: next week. So Daniel Jones gets more opportunities. Yeah, that

345
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: was That was a tough one. Although I will say

346
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: that Adam Rank and his five guarantees also said that

347
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is going to let you he's gonna have

348
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: fun with that today. He's going to let us know

349
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: all about that. This week, for me, my big disappointment

350
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: of the week was Davante Adams, just because I mean,

351
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: how how is it that that he catches one pass

352
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: for three yards? It only has five targets to begin with,

353
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: which also seems criminally low, but just not able to

354
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: connect in a game where the Raider offense was absolutely miserable.

355
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: You would still think that Derek Carr would find a

356
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: way to connect with Davontae Adams against the Saints defense

357
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: that really had been giving up a whole lot of

358
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: yards through the air recently. But this was, This was

359
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: humongously disappointing. Now, the thing about it is, you know

360
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: it's Davantae Adams. You know that this is not a

361
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: thing that's gonna happen consistently. You're not gonna panic or

362
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: do anything weird. But it doesn't mean your feelings aren't hurt.

363
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Because she only got point one point two points out

364
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: of him. That's what I'm saying. My feeling, as someone

365
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: who you know, thought the top stack of the week

366
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: might be the Raiders, my feelings were very hurt this week. Okay,

367
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: well there in that case, your feelings probably are going

368
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: to be very hurt this week. Mistakes were made, people

369
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: will be blamed. Let's get to a few of them

370
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: sent to us by you at NFL Fantasy. This one

371
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: from Jimothy three four two says not starting a J. Brown. Yeah,

372
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for you. That was on you.

373
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Did you not watch the podcast or Fantasy Live? Because

374
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Marcus was all over this being the stack of the

375
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: week all week? I mean, why would you not be

376
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: starting a J. Brown? Anyway? Like? What? What? What? Who

377
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: else do you have on your roster that you weren't

378
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: starting a J. Brown? So I have no sympathy for you, Jimothy.

379
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: That one's completely on you. Let's see what's next. This

380
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: one from cry Ley Maine scooping up Derek Carr because

381
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes has a bye week. All right, I understand that

382
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: that's not on you. I mean he had a good

383
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: matchup on paper. He's been okay this year. That was

384
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: that one was rough, but that's not your fault that

385
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: that just didn't work out for you. Jared Stidham came

386
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: in in relief and scored more Fantasy points than Derek Carr,

387
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's time or where like it's Derek.

388
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not a top twelfth quarterback, but he

389
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: I have a league where like I drafted him as

390
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: my starter and I've been rolling rolling with him most weeks.

391
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna keep doing that. Yeah, I

392
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: don't think you can do that. I think I was

393
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: gonna say he's a magic based starter, but he had

394
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: the matchup in his favor yesterday and it didn't. It didn't,

395
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: But but don't feel bad that that's not on you.

396
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: Next one eale Elia started One Dale over d K

397
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: and lost because of it. I don't Here's the thing.

398
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: I know that DK was questionable and I was surprised

399
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: that he was going to play, but once he played,

400
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: I would have started him over One Dale Robinson when

401
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: when he was up in the air. Being the later

402
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: game I did start in a super flex league, I

403
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: started Kenny Pickett over him and I immediately regretted it. Yeah,

404
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean because he kind of touched down fairly early.

405
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: He got a lot of targets pretty early, and at

406
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: this point man L. Smith can really do no wrong.

407
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyler Lockett's playing well, DK Metcals playing well.

408
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Everything's going right for the Seahawks. So I know we

409
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: were all excited about one Dale, but I don't think

410
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: I would have started him over d K. See we

411
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: have one more. I think we have one more. Uh

412
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: this one from Mincas season. I was without Debo and

413
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: just lost Breeze. I played Brian Robinson and Hunter Renfrew,

414
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: who combined for three points six points. I mean, look,

415
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: in that situation, you don't have Debo, you lost Breeze Hall.

416
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: You just have to kind of fill in the gaps

417
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: where you can so that you know that stinks. I

418
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: get it, But you're just doing the best you could

419
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: with what you had, is why. That's why I look

420
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, I think Hunter Renfro can be dropped

421
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: now and Brian I would not trust any commanders. It's

422
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: weird because Antonio Gibson seems to be kind of bouncing back,

423
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: coming back to life, but not enough that I'm super

424
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: excited about him. That's that's kind of the hard part

425
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: right there. The NFL's headed to in Germany for the

426
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: first time you could get in on the action. We're

427
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: sending one lucky fan plus three guests to Munich to

428
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: watch Tom Brady and the Bucks take on DK metcalf

429

Speaker 1: No purchase necessary to enter into rules. Is the NFL

432
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: dot Com slast Munich Sweepstakes. Time to talk some mid

433
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: season fantasy awards. We've were more than halfway through the

434
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: fantasy regular season, but this felt like a good time

435
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: to kind of hand out some fake hardware. So we're

436
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna go through m v P, Breakout Player, Best Draft Value,

437
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: and Biggest Bust. We'll start with m VP, which I

438
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: know is sort of weird to have your headliner open

439
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: the show, but we do things differently around here. So

440
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: for you, who is the most Valuable Fantasy player at

441
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: this point in the year. I don't think it's a

442
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: player who would be taking home his first Fantasy MVP award,

443
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey right now

444
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: has already had his by meaning that there's a lot

445
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: of other tight ends that's have played an extra game

446
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: than him. Still he is the only Mark Andrews is

447
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: the only other tight end to top a hundred Fantasy

448
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: points on the year, whereas Travis Kelsey's almost had a

449
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. Like he gives you such an advantage

450
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: at the thinnest position in the game. And what I

451
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: love is his a DP was lower this year than

452
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: it's been in years, so you got him at a

453
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: discount and you're still getting the same old Travis Kelsey

454
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: tight end one production. If Travis Kelsey has been amazing,

455
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: maybe not worth that first round pick that we talked

456
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: about a couple of years ago, but he has been

457
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: just a huge advantage for anybody. For me, it's Austin Ekeler,

458
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: and it's because we look at a lot of the

459
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: early first round picks, where a lot of the first

460
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: round picks in general, especially at the running back position,

461
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: and so many of them have been disappointing. If you

462
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: spent the number one overall pick on Jonathan Taylor, if

463
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: you took a high round pick on somebody like Nagi Harris,

464
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: these guys have really let you down. Austin Ekeler has

465
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: not see the twenty five Fantasy points per game this season,

466
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: the most among running backs. And yes, he had a

467
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: down first few weeks of the season when he didn't

468
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: get in the end zone and people were wondering what's wrong.

469
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Since then, it has been go mode all the time

470
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: for Austin Ekeler. He's running the ball effectively, he's catching

471
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: the ball super effectively, He's finding the end zone on

472
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: a regular basis. And so if you actually spent an

473
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: early round pick on Austin Ekeler, you have gotten your

474
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: return on investment and then some. And I think right now,

475
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: with people struggling to find consists and see it running back,

476
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: that makes Ekeler a strong m VP candidate over to

477
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: the breakout player of the year so far, and we've

478
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of good options, especially at running back,

479
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: especially among young running backs. Who is your pick? Yeah,

480
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I thought it might be cheating to grab a freaky

481
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: running back, but I'm gonna go with Kenneth Walker here.

482
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: I know he's coming off of a down day by

483
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: his standards, but he has been so good he was

484
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: the r B nine since he became the starter coming

485
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: into this week. I know that last yesterday again was

486
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a disappointment, but given the amount

487
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: of snaps carries yards that this guy has been seeing

488
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: each and every week. Again, I we keep saying in Marcus,

489
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: it's no longer a question of if he's an RB one,

490
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: It's just really a question of, like, how many rbs

491
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: can we realistically say we would take over him? And

492
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: even with the down day, he still found the end

493
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: zone light, which made it for a pretty good day. Nonetheless,

494
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a guy who's not actually a rookie,

495
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: but functionally he kind of is, and that's Travis E

496
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: t N. And I thought it was gonna be a

497
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of E. T and Early with James Robinson closing

498
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: the gap instead of with the other way where it

499
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: was Robinson Early, and e t N has not only

500
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: closed the gap but surpassed him to the point that

501
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars felt like Robinson was expendable and traded him

502
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: to the New York Jets. E t N has been

503
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: amazing a hundred or more scrimmage yards in four straight games,

504
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: and you listen to him talk, he says he's just

505
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: scratching the surface of what he can do. The Jaguars

506
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: still a work in progress as a team, but it

507
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: does look like they have hit on something in the

508
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: backfield with Travis Et and he has been beyond what

509
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: I expected this year. And I think you're gonna be

510
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: talking about him as a first round pick next year

511
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: for sure. That gets us to our best draft value

512
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: this season. Who do you have boring veteran that no

513
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: one seemingly wanted on their fantasy teams this year? Tyler Locket?

514
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: Like DK Metcalf, you were still having to pay close

515
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: to full price to get him despite the quarterback change

516
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson to Geno Smith. Tyler Lockett, though, was

517
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: going like outside the top forty wide receivers, and here

518
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: we are halfway through the season. He's the wide receiver

519
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: eleven on the year since week two years one game

520
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: in single digit fantasy points. Like he's so consistent each week.

521
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: He still brings a high ceiling. He's still getting used

522
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: in the Red Zona as one of their top targets.

523
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: And what I love about this offense is they are

524
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: funneling everything through their top two playmakers and it's making

525
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: a huge difference. Tyler Lockett is still the fantasy asset

526
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: that he has been, and he was way cheaper than ever. Yeah.

527
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: I drafted Tyler Lockett and quite a few spots, mostly

528
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: because he kept falling down draft boards, and I was like, okay, look,

529
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: I get it, I have concerns too, but he's still

530
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: a good player, so why not draft him for me?

531
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Josh Jacobs. It's another boring veteran that

532
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: people didn't want on their fantasy teams, and that turns

533
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: out to be a mistake. Josh Jacobs. We were really

534
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: worried when at the Hall of Fame game he got

535
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: like eleven billion snaps and got all these carries, Like,

536
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: what are the Raiders doing? Are they trying to trade him? Now?

537
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Apparently they were just making sure that he could handle

538
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: a solid workload, because he's been amazing this year, the

539
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: true RB one there in Las Vegas right now. He

540
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: is the running back five. And this is a guy

541
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: that was slipping to the sixth, seventh round of a

542
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of drafts because people were like, I don't want

543
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. Well, it turns out we were wrong about

544
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: that one, and so anybody who had Jacobs fall into

545
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: their lap has had an amazing, amazing running back so

546
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: far this season. That gets us to the biggest bust.

547
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: And for you, who's the guy that you're regretting drafting?

548
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: Right This one pains me to say because he was

549
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: my guy last year. But Jonathan Taylor, who was the

550
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: unquestioned one oh one in many drafts. I know some

551
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: people were like him or CMC, but the consensus was

552
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor first overall pick. This year, he's the RB

553
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: thirty two on the year right now in total points.

554
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: I know he's missed time due to injury. He is

555
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: top fifteen fantasy points once since Week two. Right now.

556
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: Some running backs that have scored more than him on

557
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: the year, Michael Carter, Jeff Wilson, James Robinson, Verhee, most

558
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert is averaging more fantasy points per game right

559
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: now then Jonathan Taylor. And it's going from it's just

560
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: getting worse, I would say, because we opened the show

561
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: talking about the lack of targets going to the running back.

562
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored a touchdown I think in like seven

563
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: weeks or something like that. Like the guy who scored

564
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: twenty last year. The colts Oline isn't what it was.

565
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: You gotta ride out with Johnthan Taylor. You gotta start him,

566
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: but man, it's it's gone bad quick. For the volume

567
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: is going to be there. The talent is certainly there,

568
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: but the offense has really crumbled around him, so it

569
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: might be a tough slog. The rest of the way

570
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor. Mine is Nagi Harris, And this is

571
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: another guy that we were talking about. Is an easy

572
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: first round pick, maybe even top five depending on your

573
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: league or how you felt about him. I had concerns.

574
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: I was wondering what the target share was going to

575
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: be without Ben Roethlisberger, and that's been a huge drop

576
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: off right there. He's getting about half the targets that

577
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: he was at the same time last season, so certainly

578
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: not getting those cheap quick fantasy points just in the

579
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: PPR since. But on top of it, the Steelers offense

580
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: is one of the worst in the National Football League.

581
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: They're not moving the ball, they're not scoring points. Harris

582
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: has been inconsistent and unproductive as a runner, and now

583
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: we're starting to see more Jalen Warren work in there.

584
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: So part of what we loved about Nazi Arris is

585
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 1: that he was dominating the snap share. That's not the

586
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: case anymore either, And with the Steelers not looking like

587
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: they're going to make a huge improvement anytime soon, I

588
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: don't know that Nazi Harris is going to be the

589
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: player that you spent an early round draft pick on.

590
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: That is going to be super frustrating for a whole

591
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of people. Let's look at some of the type

592
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: of waiver wire targets for the week. Florio who do

593
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: you like? Justin Fields, who we spoke about earlier saying

594
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: he is league winning upside. Also Marcus Mariota just because

595
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: he consistently has been giving production with his legs and

596
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: he gets a team that you can run on next week.

597
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: At some running backs, Kenyan Drake because Gus Edwards uh

598
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: suffered another injury. We gotta monitor that situation. Latavius Murray,

599
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: who I know is on by this week but continues

600
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 1: to split the backfield with Melvin Gordon Ronnie Rivers. As

601
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: long as the Rams don't make a trade for running back,

602
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: he's an option. And so is Justice Hill just again

603
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: because Gus Edwards was limited and missed some time last week.

604
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: At receiver Rondel Moore, who was looking like a flex

605
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: option until Marky's Brown returns, Alan Robinson and vand Jefferson

606
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: who returned this past week just because Cooper Cup left

607
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. Darius Slayton who's been getting more

608
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: and more volume there, Julio Jones who you know he

609
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: returned to our fantasy lives this past week. Terris Marshall Jr.

610
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Getting a lot of end zone looks there for p J.

611
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: Walker and the Panthers, and then a lot of tight ends.

612
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram continues to be a thing, as is Greg Dolchick.

613
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I will take the la Micasecki. I didn't believe it

614
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: in this past week, and he caught a touchdown making

615
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: him fantasy viable. And then Isaiah Likely. It's a little

616
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: bit tough, it's an extended week on a Monday night,

617
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: but Mark Andrews did lead the game last week, so

618
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: likely he's in play if Andrews miss this time. Yeah,

619
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: keep an eye on on Mark Andrews because I don't

620
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: determine how valuable Isaiah Likely is. And by the way,

621
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Mike Siki, thank you for not doing the gritty after

622
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: you scored your touchdown America, thanks you for that. By

623
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: the way, six teams on a bye this week, the Browns,

624
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Broncos, the Giants, the Steelers, and the

625
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: forty Niners. So chances are you were going to be

626
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: missing some players, So the waiver wire going to be

627
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: super imp Wharton. By the way, if you want more information,

628
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: you want more insight on some of these guys, you

629
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: can go check out Matt Okada's waiver Wire column. It's

630
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash waiver Wire. Matt does a great

631
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: job with that every single week. Let's talk some of

632
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: these top targets. Justin Fields, we talked about him a

633
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: little bit uh lately, or we're talking about him a

634
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the show. I should say, is

635
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: he I don't say a QB one, but is he?

636
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: Where do you have him ranked in terms of quarterbacks

637
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: going forward? I think he's in play almost like obviously

638
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Alan Lamar hurts Mahomes Burrow, I'd still put Kyler over him, um,

639
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: but after that, like that's six quarterbacks and after that,

640
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: I think Justin Fields deserves to be in the conversation

641
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: like him verse Geno. I think is a legit discussion

642
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: him verse Daniel Jones uh like Kirk Cousins quarterback just

643
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: isn't as deep as we thought it would be. So

644
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: given that, and given that a lot of people are

645
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: getting like fifteen points per game or something like that

646
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: out of the position fields, has so much more upside

647
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: than that, I don't think it's crazy to call him

648
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: QB one. Las Murray, you had on the list, mentioned

649
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: that he is on a by this week with people

650
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: trying to find running backs worth of stash at this point,

651
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: I think so. Like I started him in a league

652
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: this past week, gave me twelve Fantasy points. I was

653
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: very satisfied with that, and obviously a half of that

654
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: came from a touchdown. But that's kind of what you're

655
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: expecting when you start Lettavis Mary right exactly. You're you're

656
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: not gonna get a ton of rushing yards because he's

657
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: still splitting time with Melvin Gordon. And even when they

658
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: had Mike Boone healthy and it was a three headed attack,

659
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: it was pretty much just two guys getting most of

660
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: the work and the third guy was sort of the

661
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: odd man out there, Allen Robinson. The Rams did not win,

662
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: but Allen Robinson saw I think more targets and more

663
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: catches than I remember seeing in a game from him.

664
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: All season long. How do we feel. Are we feeling

665
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: like maybe he's back. He's not gonna be back to

666
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: the Allen Robinson from a few years ago, but is

667
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: he more viable now? I think I'm willing to pick

668
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: up Allen Robinson and see if he can build off

669
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: of this. Like one of his targets was an end

670
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: zone fade, because I'm pretty sure Sean McVeigh thinks that's

671
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the only route Alan Ubinson can run um. But I

672
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: think it was encouraging worth taking a shot on, worth

673
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: picking up. I want to see him do it again.

674
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: If Cooper Cup misses the week, I think then that revalue.

675
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: You have to reevaluate everything. But if Cooper Cup plays,

676
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I think I take more of a weight and see

677
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: approach with just you know, at least maybe as you said,

678
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: pick him up, hold onto him, see how things go

679
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: before you put him in your lineup. But it was

680
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: encouraging to see them using him between the twenties and

681
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: not strictly as an in zone fade guy. We're always

682
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: looking for more tight ends. Greg Dulcich has stepped in

683
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: since coming off injured reserve, and he's immediately been a

684
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: top target for Russell Wilson. Are you willing to say

685
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: he's a fringe tight end one? And I say fringe

686
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: tighten one because that's a huge category. It probably includes

687
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: like twenty guys. But does he slide into those twenty

688
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: guys as a fringe tight end one? Yeah, I I

689
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you know. He's not in the group

690
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: of like the Earth's and the Goddard's and the Scholtz

691
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Witchis are like the secondary tier of tight ends, but

692
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable using them most weeks. He's more like

693
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: that Evan Ingram, like even Kyle Pitts tier L say,

694
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: where like you don't feel great every week about what

695
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: their production might be, but they see enough volume that

696
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: they're always kind of like a Tyler Conklin, I would say,

697
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: like sees enough work where he's not a mustart each week,

698
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: but he's always in play as a streaming option. I

699
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a heart palpitation when you

700
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: said Kyle Pitts was down and at the lower range.

701
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: It hurts so sad. So if you're adding people, you're

702
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: probably going to have to drop some people who were

703
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that you can say goodbye to

704
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: now Elijah Moore, who not only is he you know,

705
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: not playing much anymore, he played ten snaps yesterday, like

706
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: what are we doing? He's also publicly like they asked

707
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: him about his chemistry on the field with Zach Wilson

708
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: and he was like, I don't know, man, I don't

709
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: get the ball. That's all you need. And I will

710
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: add this one caveat the waivers run Tuesday night. The

711
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: trade deadline is Tuesday afternoon. If Elijah Moore is traded,

712
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: then everything changes. But if he's still on the Jets

713
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: when you go to put your waivers in Tuesday night,

714
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: you can drop him. Same thing with j D mckissic

715
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: because Brian Robinson is getting the most of the carries,

716
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: whereas mckissic we thought would get the targets. But Antonio

717
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: Gibson is eating into the carries of Ryan Robinson, the

718
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: targets of j D mckissic. And if you have three

719
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: running backs, it's an absolute nightmare. I don't want any

720
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: of them for fantasy. So j D mckissic, I think,

721
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: sadly is someone that you can drop when you talk

722
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: about having three running backs. And that's the case with

723
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: the Rams, which is why Darryl Henderson can probably go

724
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: back on the waiver wire. I know he was dealing

725
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: with an illness a little bit on Sunday and that

726
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: might have impacted some of his opportunities. But Ronnie Rivers

727
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: was the guy who got the start. Malcolm Brown came

728
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: in at some point and got some opportunities. Can Makers

729
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: technically is still a RAM. We'll see what happens if

730
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: they're able to move him by the trade deadline, but

731
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: if they're not, you know who knows if they try

732
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: to integrate him back into the offense as well. Either way,

733
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: the Rams just cannot open holes running in the football.

734
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: That's why you saw a lot of Jets jet sweeps,

735
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of screens, just trying to manufacture some kind

736
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: of running game. Either way, Darryl Henderson not productive enough

737
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: to hold onto. The other one is Josh Reynolds because

738
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: what we liked about Josh Reynolds was getting that target share,

739
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: but it was also when there were some guys missing.

740
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross st Brown is back and he's healthy now.

741
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: T J. Hawkinson is there and DeAndre Swift is back,

742
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: who's way to occupy a pretty good target share as well.

743
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: We've also seen Jamal Williams getting work. There's just too

744
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: many mouths to feed right now for Josh Reynolds to

745
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: be on your roster, especially when wide receiver is so

746
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: deep across the fantasy landscape. Let's do some trick or

747
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: treat and shall we. We got a list of seven

748
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: players here. We're gonna decide whether or not that player

749
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: will be a trick or a treat for the remainder

750
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: of the season. So let's start at quarterback with Jared

751
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Goff started the year hot, hit a rough patch, was

752
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: okay on Sunday, So for Golf, trick or treat for

753
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, he's a trick. Unfortunately, it

754
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: looks like he might be one of those quarterbacks that

755
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of break out and puts up good numbers despite

756
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: being in a poor situation. I think now like Golf

757
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: didn't take huge advantage of this great match up against Miami.

758
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: To me, he is more of just a quarterback that

759
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: you could stream in the right matchup in the right weeks,

760
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: but nothing more than that. I think we've seen Jared

761
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: gofferd reverting to being who Jared Goff is, which means

762
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: I think he is a trick for the rest of

763
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: the season. As you said, there will be some days

764
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: where it's decent, but a lot of times he's just

765
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's still a checkdown guy, even though the

766
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: Lions are scoring points, a lot of it coming through

767
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: the running back. So I'm not big on Jared Goff.

768
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: We talked about the Commander's backfield and Brian Robinson kind

769
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: of working in but Antonio Gibson coming to life had

770
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: a nice day on Sunday. Is Gibson a trick or

771
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: treat for the rest of the year. I think Gibson

772
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: is a trick still. He can become a treat if

773
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: his targets continue to go up. I will give him credit.

774
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: He's seen at least four targets in four straight games.

775
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: But when you're getting single digit carries and like around

776
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: four targets, it's hard to be a consistent fantasy option.

777
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: So I think Gibson, while there's some upside there, right now,

778
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: he's taking away more from Brian Robinson and j. D.

779
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: McKissick than he is getting enough to be a weekly

780
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: acid in his own right. I want to say he's

781
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: a treat, but he's that treat that you get left

782
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: over at the bottom of the bag where like everything

783
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: else is gone and you just you just need something

784
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: sweet and you're like, all right, fine, But with three

785
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: running backs, they're occupying space in why Shehington It's hard

786
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: for him to be consistently productive, So I'm gonna give

787
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: him a treat treat status. But it's you know, it's

788
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: it's milk duds or something like that. I like milk

789
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: duds always take like yeah, like they were in a

790
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: pinata that got broken and everyone was like, oh, we

791
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: could leave the milk duds. I was like, I'll take

792
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: the milk. Does I like them? Okay? Um Junior Mint

793
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: like whoppers, They're fine. They're also another candy that that

794
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: was like people were just leaving up. They're fine. I don't.

795
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't dislike them. I don't gravitate towards them. So anyway,

796
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, who came out of the box hot, got hurt,

797
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: came back. It was just fourteen points on Sunday, But

798
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift trick or treat. I still think DeAndre Swift

799
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: is a treat. I know he disappointed this past week,

800
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: and I know Jamal Williams taking away all the goal

801
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: line work. It is going to be a headache that

802
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: we're just simply not going to get rid of this year.

803
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: That is how the lines backfield operates. But still Swift

804
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: is so explosive that I think he'll get his normal

805
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: workload moving forward. And even if he's giving away some

806
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: of his touchdowns, he's so explosive that you start him

807
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: every week. This is an easy treat for me because

808
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: of the target share he gets, and I do think

809
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: he's going to get more carries. I see the eight

810
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: per game this season. I still think there's gonna be

811
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: more opportunities for him to touch the football. And he's

812
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: a guy that, because he catches the ball, isn't necessarily

813
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: game script dependent. So I think they are better days

814
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: coming for dean Andre Swift. He's gonna score touchdowns. I

815
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fine. He is a treat the

816
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: rest of the way for me. David Montgomery is a

817
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: guy that I liked. I know a lot of folks

818
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: were sort of off David Montgomery. I'm still clinging to

819
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: that desperately, but it's getting harder with Kalel Herbert getting

820
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: more opportunities. So trick or treat for David Montgomery much

821
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: like you had Antonio Gibson is like the bottom of

822
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: the bag treat that. That's what David Montgomery like. He's

823
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: like peeps or something like that right now, like not good,

824
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: but if you need to sugar, I mean not even

825
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: that's too low for him. Like I don't know. I'm

826
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: one of those people that like if I need candy,

827
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: even if it's a candy, I don't like I'm willing

828
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: to eat it. That's kind of what David Montgomery is

829
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: right now, Like he's still is going to get enough

830
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: volume each week where he's always in play, but Khalil

831
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Herbert's taking a bunch of carries away and some targets

832
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: now with Justin Fields getting more design runs two weeks

833
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: in a row at the red zone touchdown going to

834
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: Fields and has lowered Montgomery's floor to being single digits,

835
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: I think, But there's still enough weekly upside where he's

836
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: always going to attempt you. Tutsie roles. How do you

837
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: feel about them? I like tutsie rolls, but that's a

838
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: good example, right and I think that's I think that's

839
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: what David Montgomery is right now. He's he's tutsie rolls.

840
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: I still like him I still think he's gonna get

841
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: good opportunity. He'll score some touchdowns, but Kalil Herbert is

842
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: in there and on top of a Justin Fields taking

843
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: a lot of those rushing attempts to really sort of

844
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: dampens his value a little bit. But I'm not willing

845
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: to completely give up on Montgomery because he's still the

846
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: lead running back there in Chicago. Courtland Sutton, We've talked

847
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: over and over again about the struggles of the Broncos defense,

848
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: and lately it's Jerry Judy getting a whole lot more

849
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: opportunity there in Denver, so Courtland Sutton trick or treat

850
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: he is in a similar sort of treat, like he's

851
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: the candy that you're like, I don't really like this

852
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: become like November her sixteen when I need my sugar fix.

853
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: I'm happy I still have it there. That's what I

854
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: think of Courtland Sun. I don't think he's a player

855
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: that you want to start each and every week. But

856
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I think there's enough upside there with

857
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: with him, and and still some there with Russ that

858
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: you want him on your roster just in case. But

859
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: he is no longer a mustard gut. Yeah, I'll give

860
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: him like an Almond joy kind of status, like I like,

861
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: I like almond Joys, I like the like the coconut,

862
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: but I don't always love it all the time. So

863
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: I think Courtland Sutton is a guy that some weeks

864
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be really good for you, some weeks probably not.

865
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: It may be frustrating to figure out when and where,

866
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: but the target share is going to be there. So

867
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: I think that's what's hard to kind of get him

868
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: out of your lineup. Are certainly off your roster. It's

869
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: just gonna be frustrating there, Ron Dale more, you had

870
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: him in the waiver wire. There we know New Hopkins

871
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: is back, Marcus Brown is coming back. Trick or treat

872
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: for Ron Dale. I think he is a treat until

873
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Brown returns. Once Markus Brown returns, and I think

874
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: Ron Damore probably goes back to being a waiver wire guy.

875
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: But eight targets and three of his last four games

876
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: is worth noting. And what I do like it was

877
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: yesterday he got used more in the slot, which is

878
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: clearly where he is at his best. Um. I I

879
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: thought the week prior that like they don't care about

880
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: Rohndell More because they're building everything around d Hop and

881
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: they still are, but they did line d Hop out

882
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: wide more. Rondel Moore is explosive. I think that's who

883
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: he is at this point. Like he's like a flex

884
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: guy that brings you high upside, but not the safest floor, right.

885
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: He's he's sort of like a baked good or whatever

886
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: that's only lasts so long. You're just gonna stale. Yeah,

887
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: you don't, you know the baked beans yea, not not

888
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: a fan. Ye're not a really fan of baked beans either,

889
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that you know, it only lasts

890
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: so long. The shelf life is short here because once

891
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Mark Keiths Brown comes back, and it's gonna be hard

892
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: for More to get a significant target share, and he's

893
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna be frustrating there to use him last one. George

894
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: Kittle caught a touchdown yesterday, caught one last week as

895
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: well for National tight End Day, but the usage is

896
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: still going to be frustrating so now, especially with Christian

897
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey there, George Kittle, is he a trick or a treat?

898
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: I think he is once again a treat, and I

899
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: think part of why we were so low on George

900
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Kittle early on is because the offense looked a lot

901
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: different with Trey Lance. Like in those two first weeks

902
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: he had nine targets. Since then, uh, the targets have

903
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: gone up. Five was his high in the first two

904
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: weeks with Lance. That has been his low in the

905
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: last month with Jimmy g two games of nine or

906
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: more targets. He's also a tight end, and he brings

907
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: more upside than most tight ends not named Mark Andrews

908
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: or Travis Kelsey. So he's always a treat. Yeah, he's

909
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: he's he's like a hundred grand bar right, which you

910
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: don't find them very often, you don't see them around,

911
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: but when you have them, like you get them because

912
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: they're really really good. And that's sort of George Kittle

913
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: is that you don't know what you're going to get

914
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: from him week to week, but when when he's on,

915
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: the production is good. As you mentioned, tight end, we're

916
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: we're just thirsty for anybody that can give you some

917
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: consistent production. So look, I think you're starting George Kittle

918
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: most weeks and you just hope that it's not a

919
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: week word. Kyle Shanahan is asking him to be a

920
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: de facto sixth lineman. But when he gives you games

921
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: like we saw yesterday against the Rams, it's not bad

922
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: for George Kittle. We actually have time for one more

923
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: bonus ones. So let's go Romeo Dobbs, who it was

924
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: sort of like Aaron Rodgers was sub tweeting him during

925
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: the week last week, and then he came out, had

926
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: a decent game, had a really nice touchdown catch against

927
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. So for the rest of the year, trick

928
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: or treat for Romeo Dobbs. He is a treat, but

929
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: in the sense of like we kind of know what

930
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: this treat is already. Like I there is more untapped

931
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: upside there just because like he is capable of making

932
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: plays like he did last night. And I wish that

933
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense would take more shots

934
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: down field, particularly two Dobbs. But I think he's gonna

935
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: be up and down because this that's just he's a

936
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: rookie fourth round pick and they're putting a lot on

937
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: his plate. So there will be very high highs, but

938
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: there will be low loads as well. Yeah, I mean

939
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: I think he's I think you have it right. I

940
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: think he's a treat in the sense of you understand

941
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: what it is. He's like those little wrapped peppermint or

942
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: butter scotch candies that usually your grandparents have at their house,

943
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: sitting on the coffee table or something like that. So like,

944
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's fine, but it's not gonna be spectacular

945
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: and and it's not gonna be something that you want

946
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: all the time. And the packer offense has just been

947
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: so disappointing this year that I think it's hard to

948
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: get anything consistent out of Romeo Daubs. The excitement that

949
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: we had for him in August is definitely dwindled significantly

950
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: now that we're in October. So it's fine, but it's

951
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: nothing really to get get super excited about. What we

952
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: do have to get excited about. Those the fact that

953
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: we've got fantasy content five days a week in your
