00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: I a little bit of a grudge match head to head,

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: wor it feels great. I think this is my fourth

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: consecutive championship game in this league, so I'm looking forward

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: to it. Let it all out, just break it all up,

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: just just let it out, make us crowd and get

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: the w here for your colleagues at NFL Fantasy Live.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Would you I'll do what I can, right Speaking of

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys, we're gonna get to the latest

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: headlines right now, and one of the players on your roster,

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron in Cleveland Brown's tight end, Jordan Cameron stat

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: out of practice Thursday. He's dealing with a concussion. Who

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: would you pick up? I'll ask you then if he's

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: not ready to go, I've already raised ahead and picked

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: up Zach Miller, who's going up against the Arizona Cardinals,

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: who have allowed the most points to fantasy tight ends

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: this season. As a matter of fact, Miller has scored

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his last two games against the Cardinals. Of course,

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: he's dealing with some injury issues of his own, so

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye on that as the weekend gets closer.

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: But Zach Miller is my guy. Well, you know one

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: other guy to look at two is Andrew Corliss too.

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: He's been hot the last couple of weeks, putting up

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: twelve Fantasy points up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So he's

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: starting to get a little chemistry there with Matt Flynn,

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: So that could be a sneaky play there with Corliss

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: is a sneaky little pick up. Their NFL media insider

41
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Ian Ravaport says that an m r I has revealed

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco has a mild m cl S brain. Flacco

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: hurt his knee Monday night against the Lines, but did

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: not miss a snap. The quarterback is expected to our

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: knee race during Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Does that

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: news make you an old nervous off bar about starting

47
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Dennis Pitter Tory Smith? No, it doesn't, and that's just

48
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: because I've seen the inside of the trainer rooms, medicine cabinet.

49
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: They have things called tortal. They have a protective thing

50
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: called a kneed price that they're gonna put around that

51
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: knee so he can go and play beyond the pain there.

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that affects Pitter or towards Smith's fantasy production. Yeah,

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Tor Smith has a great history against the New England Patriots.

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: Last time he played me, he got him pretty well,

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: So he's a pretty good start. Texans running back Ben

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Tad has cracked a fifth rib and is headed for

57
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: the injured reserve. Dennis Johnson is in line to get

58
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the start. What should owners expect of Johnson if they

59
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: start him this week, Guys, He's an interesting start because

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense is one that you can run against. However,

61
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: you look at a team that are you look at

62
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: a game that could be a blowout, how much are

63
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: they actually going to be running the football? The good

64
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: thing is is he is involved in the passing game,

65
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: so he's nothing more than a flex. Yeah. And you know,

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: and with Ben Tait as well, I think Ben Tait

67
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: is a is an excellent you know guy. I mean,

68
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: we know that he's got the injury thing going. But

69
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at Andrew excuse me, Andre Johnson,

70
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's got to be a question

71
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: mark because he doesn't have case Keendom. Let's stay with

72
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: one of his teammates. Can you cover your ears speaking

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: of them? Okay, all right, alight, let's go as you

74
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: just said, case Keenom not. Their Texans also announced Wednesday

75
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: that he's been ruled out for Sunday's game against the

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Broncos due to with thumb injury. The week one starter

77
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Matt Shop will resume the starting duties. Guys, Is this

78
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: good news or bad news for the fantasy value? Of

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: guys like Andre Johnson or DeAndre Hopkins. Not always good

80
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: news when you see that Matt Shob is gonna be

81
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: running out there throwing the football. Dre Johnson didn't really

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: play his best when Matt Shob was back there, and

83
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of confidence that they'll be

84
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: able to keep up with the Broncos. But they do

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: figure to throw the ball a ton. They will throw

86
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the ball to him, but you're started to become, you know,

87
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a little concerned about the accuracy. Will he be able

88
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: to find Andre Johnson and Johnson we saw a little

89
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: frustrated with the match shop earlier in the year, so

90
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: they went to case keenom I'm I'm really upset and

91
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: then I given obviously he's out the injury thing going

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: on with case Keenum, but I'm upset for Andre Johnson

93
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: over Remember that could work out in his favor if

94
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: you think of how mad Drey Johnson was and here

95
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: comes the overcorrection, like I'm gonna target you fifty five

96
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: times today throwing to anybody else like bigger Man crush

97
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts. Shorts has always going to be he started

98
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: number one. Gonna have to ask that Al right news

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: out of Minneapoli's Vikings. Running Back Adrian Peterson returned to

100
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday after missing week fifteen with a foot injury.

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: He could return to the field on Sunday. And since

102
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: you guys, is it's safe to drop Toby Gearhart, you've

103
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: been holding on to him as insurance, I wouldn't. I

104
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: would actually say, you know, hold on to Toby Gearhart

105
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: because you never know the course of the game, and

106
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: you don't know who's gambling. Especially you know, you got

107
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to see the person as you're playing the championship. You know,

108
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: matchup has Toby Gearhart, so um, you know, and Asia

109
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: has been battling injury problems too. There's a lot going

110
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: on there in Minnesota's show. If it's it's Adrian Peterson

111
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: or nobody, That's pretty much how I feel about it.

112
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: You're going into your championship game. There's nothing about Toby

113
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Gerhardt that would make me play him. An interesting note

114
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: on a p obviously number one pick last year. We're

115
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: going to talk if he should be is well coming

116
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: up pays Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not yet been cleared

117
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: by doctors to return to the field. He's rehabbing from

118
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: that broken collar bone. Packer's head coach Mike McCarthy says,

119
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback looks sharp and practice. Guys with the waiting

120
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: game continues for fancy youngers. Well, you know what this is.

121
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: This is a tough one. I'll say this. If Aaron

122
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers plays, of course you're gonna want to play him.

123
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Rodgers not yet cleared. It's got a

124
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of people concerned and they want if he is

125
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: clear to play in this game, you better believe you're

126
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: gonna play Aaron Rodgers. The only instance is there somebody

127
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: if you picked up Nick Foles to replace Himhen Aaron

128
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers went down, that's one guy I would start ahead

129
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: of him. But if you have Alex Smith, for instance,

130
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather go with Aaron Rodgers. And just a reminder,

131
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the starter four Green Bay will be announced on Friday,

132
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: whether or not a rod Aaron Rodgers is ready to go.

133
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: Good stuff, gentlemen, that's all the news that's fit to

134
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: print for this Thursday evening. Now let's toss over to

135
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Michael Fabian with a look at fab

136
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: starts of the week. Gentlemen, Thank you very much to

137
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: start or not to start? That is the question that

138
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Shakespeare fabs. Unfortunately, you've done the heavy lifting for us.

139
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Which quarterbacks are worth the championship play? Which should be

140
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: on your bench when it matters most. Let's take a

141
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: look at Michael Fabiano's quarterbacks starts of the week. Rivers, Kaepernet,

142
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler, Andy Dalton, Sleeper Alert. Kirk Cousins could throw

143
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the football seventy five times against the Dallas Cowboys. But Fabs,

144
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: of all of these guys, who's your big start of

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: the week, and he'll complete about fifty of them too.

146
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: I really like Philip Rivers this week against the Oakland Raiders.

147
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: They have allowed the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks

148
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: over the last four weeks. They've also given up six

149
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns to quarterbacks in the last two weeks. That's

150
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: tied for second most in the National Football League during

151
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: that time. If you have Rivers, there's only maybe two

152
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks I can start ahead of Peyton Manning and Nick Foles.

153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: That's it. And listen, don't tell Cousin short he could

154
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: complete sixty or seventy of those past It is the Cowboys,

155
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: after all. One of the running backs now Michael Fabiano's

156
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: recommendations for this week. Yes on DeMarco Murray. Yes on

157
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. He's been struggling lately, but still a great play.

158
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Brian Matthews, Frankgore, Jordan Toddman against Tennessee coming off like

159
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: huge game a week ago, But fabs, which is the

160
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: running back that's your start of the week. DeMarco Murray

161
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: has been fantastic. This guy has been a top five

162
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: running back based on Fantasy points over the last four weeks,

163
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and this is a very good matchup. The Redskins had

164
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: given up the second most fantasy points to running backs

165
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: on their home field. Murray has full rushing touchdowns in

166
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: his last three games. You gotta play him, even though

167
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensively seem like they don't want to run

168
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: him in the second half for some reason. Unberlost to me.

169
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but he'll see enough touches to

170
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: put up very, very big numbers. You have Jordan Toddoman

171
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: on this list, and I know people are gonna say,

172
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: can I really trust him to win a championship? Why not?

173
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Why not trust him? If Morris Jones drew his out?

174
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: This kid's got a great matchup. He had over fifteen

175
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: fantasy points last week. I'd play him not to move

176
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: on to the wide receivers. Now, who does Michael Fabiano say,

177
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: get in your line up? Who does he say put

178
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: on your fantasy bench? Yes on Antonio Brown. He's been phenomenal.

179
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Alan, Pierre Garson, Mike Wallace. You were sleeper alert

180
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Kendall right against Jacksonville. I love right this week, twenty

181
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: targets a week ago. He is becoming that big playmaker

182
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: the Titans promise he would be a few weeks ago.

183
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: But fat, You've got four big guys on here. Who

184
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: stands out the most Antonio Brown? And hey, you've got

185
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: to stick with your studs here nine times out of ten,

186
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: especially in championship week. And Antonio Brown is a study,

187
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: might have the name value of a Calvin Johnson, but

188
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: he has been fantastic, great matchup this week. The Packers

189
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: have given up the fifth most fantasy points to wide

190
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: receivers over the last four weeks, and Brown has four

191
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns in his last three games against the NFC.

192
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: I like Ben Roethlisberger, I like Levan Bell, and I

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: love Antonio Brown and Now, how much do you like

194
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: a guy like pr Garson this week? I know we

195
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: talked about Kirk Cousins throwing the football a lot, but

196
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Garson has really been struggling lately. To me, he's a one.

197
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: To me, he is an absolute one in all fantasy

198
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: leagues this week, especially PPR. It's the Cowboys, Jason. They

199
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: couldn't stop you or I for having a hundred yards

200
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: boyd Cowboys and the Raiders. That would be some kind

201
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of contest. They would be put defenses on to be

202
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: a seven three game too, right, that's what had happened,

203
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: all right, that would be a defensive struggle. So to

204
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: round things off, let's go to some start and sit defenses.

205
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano says yes on the Lions, a great matchup

206
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: with the giant team that may have quit on the season.

207
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: The Bengals played the Minnesota Vikings, who are dead last

208
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: in touchdown passes allowed this year. That means they've allowed

209
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: the most charges. Are a great play. The Rams. The

210
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: Broncos at Houston fabs a sleeper played this week. But Fabs,

211
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: if you can go with any one of those defenses,

212
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: who do you like the most? I'm going with Detroit.

213
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I have them in the top five, just behind the

214
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Niners and the Chiefs. This is a

215
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: defense that's very aggressive. They have a very strong front seven,

216
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: and they're playing the Giants. You know what Eli Manning

217
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: likes to do, Jason, he likes to throw the bottle

218
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: of the wrong team. He's done it quite a bit

219
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: this season. The g Men have given up the most

220
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points of defenses this season. They've also thrown one

221
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: touchdown pass or less in six straight road games. So

222
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: forget about this one. This could be a thirty five

223
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: seven game where in Detroit's defense has five turnovers, five sacks,

224
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: and a touchdown start in Detroit, now, not of those life.

225
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: The Browns taking on the Jets this week. The Jets

226
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: eliminated from playoff contention. Do you still like the Browns

227
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: without Joe Hayden? I do like the Browns because they're

228
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: playing the Jets. They're playing Gino Smith. The Jets have

229
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: been better at home. I think you know that better

230
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: than anybody. But this is still a really good matchup

231
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: for Cleveland Dolphins. Two out there, there are a lot

232
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: of good streaming options this weekend at defense. Yeah and

233
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: if the Jets are are this good on the road,

234
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: they're like this good at home like that, that's how

235
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: much better? They're not much better? Still, in Colm wondering

236
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: who deserves one of your precious keeper spots on your

237
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: fantasy roster, we'll give you our projections for next season's

238

00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: this coming summer. Plus the playoffs are coming. The playoffs

240
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: are coming. One if by land too. If I air,

241
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: which fantasy stars should join your playoff challenge? Militia will

Speaker 1: preview NFL dot COM's revolutionary playoff fantasy game right after

243
00:10:45,080 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: this rock touched down Detroit Line. Hey time now for

244
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: who's got the better lineup? Presented by Head and Shoulders

245
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Molly Caram here with Adam Rank and Akbar Baja b

246
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Emila and I love this subject. We're taking a look

247
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: at next season. We're starting right at the top. We

248
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: put together two lineups for you to compare. On the left,

249
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the top picks at each position in

250
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: fantasy draft before the season started, and on the right,

251
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: the players who are the top fantasy performers for the

252
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: season heading into week sixteen. What a difference a season

253
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: makes and looking ahead to next year, Guys, I want

254
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: to know who you'd rather have at this point, and

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: let's start with the quarterback position. A bar obviously unforeseen

256
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: circumstances with a Rod, the collar bone hasn't played since

257
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Week nine, and Peyton Manning has just been dominating at

258
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: this point. So let's fast forward to August. Would you

259
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: rather have a Rod if he's healthy or Peyton Manning? Well,

260
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, in this situation, I love what Peyton Manning

261
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: has done, but I have to go with Aaron Rodgers.

262
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: And I know Aaron Rodgers. You look at the guys

263
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: that he has surrounding him. Hey, first off, he has

264
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: a run game now that he hasn't had since he's

265
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: been the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers Eddie Lacey.

266
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: That really opens things up. But you also see the

267
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: impact that he has on his team. You know, all

268
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Jordy Nelson is so much more powerful.

269
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: You know, you get other wide receivers who are involved

270
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: in this game that allows him to be Aaron Rodgers

271
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: and he takes these guys to another level. I want him.

272
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: And we're talking about a quarterback who is just entering

273
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: the prime of his career, whereas Payton Manning his career

274
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: is winding down. Who knows what kind of quarterback he's

275
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna be next season, how much he's gonna have left

276
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: after what he goes through. He's gonna have another playoffs

277
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: to go through, at least one game to go through.

278
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: So you never know what you're gonna get with Payton Manning.

279
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: And I would rather rather be one of those guys

280
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: who gets off a year too early than a year

281
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: too late. Right, Let's move on to the backfield now,

282
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson obviously the number one pick taken overall.

283
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: I took him number one. He's still had big numbers guys,

284
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: but maybe not deserving of the number one pick overall.

285
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: But the big surprise Jamal Charles. He was taken eighth

286
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: overall and he's really exceeded expectations. Who are you drafting? Well,

287
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: you know I've said all alone that Jamal Charles is

288
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: a is a running back that I truly love. I

289
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: love the his style of play and the fact that

290
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: he's with Andy Reid. But this still belongs to Adrian Peterson.

291
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is a phenomenal running back. When you think

292
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: about the fact that this offense runs through Adrian Peterson

293
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: two and sixty eight carries so far on the season.

294
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of carries when you that's

295
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: the most in the NFL. He's averaging with those carries

296
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: four point six yards per carry. That means he's still

297
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: very productive. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.

298
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: So there's nothing that makes me think that, you know,

299
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is gonna slow down. And as the way hurt, well,

300
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: here's the one thing he's not. I'm not gonna consider

301
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: him injury from because he can come back from an

302
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: injury faster than anybody I've ever seen in my career.

303
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: But he's got a passing game involving with Cord Darrel Patterson.

304
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: That's they don't have all that stuff in Kansas City.

305
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: You want to talk about running an offense through one player.

306
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles is the thinking Man's m v P of

307
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: this season. I said that a couple of weeks ago,

308
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: and it's certainly coming true. And you saw the game

309
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: last week against the Oakland Raiders. How good he is

310
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: in all facets of the game as a runner and

311
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: as a rest even and he is perfect for this

312
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid offense, and he's only going to get better

313
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: as his Chief's team continues to evolve. Jamal Charles has

314
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: been the best player this year, and I know because

315
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: I've had him in my experts league team, and he's

316
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna be He's gonna be the best player next season.

317
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: He should be number one. I don't appreciate the insult

318
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: you say he's a thinking, thinkings man's number one pick.

319
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: So what you're trying to say, I'm not thinking about

320
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: this lesson anyway you want. You're both very cerebral. Let's

321
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: not get defensive. But I talked about Jamal Charles being

322
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: a surprise. Obviously, he had eighteen plus Fantasy points in

323
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: four straight games. We just saw that. But the wide

324
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: receiver position really the biggest discrepancy because Dez Bryant taking

325
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: taking fifteenth overall, Well, Josh Gordon a hundred and thirty

326
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: two overall, gentlemen, who are you gonna go with next season?

327
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm going with Josh Gordon right now. I have Josh Gordon,

328
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, slated as my number two top wide receiver

329
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: going into the two thousand fourteen season. You know, Dez

330
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: Bryan to me is a phenomenal. In fact, I was

331
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: watching film on des Bryant this morning, early this morning.

332
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: He's gotten so much better from last season. I have

333
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: him ranked as my seventh, uh you know, the seventh

334
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: guy going into this my top ten mock draft. But

335
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon has just exploded onto the scene. Regardless of

336
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: this quarterback situation. I think he's still gonna be able

337
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: to thrive. You and I are Simpanica right here, and

338
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: you've made it. You made the point right there about

339
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: whoever the quarterback is. He's had three different quarterbacks. He's

340
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: excelled with all three. And you look at some other

341
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: players on the team, Jordan Cameron, he struggled with a

342
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks, Josh Gordon. It doesn't matter who it is.

343
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: And if Brian Hoyer comes back and is how he

344
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: was earlier in this season than Josh Gordon's even better.

345
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: He's my number two guys. Calvin Johnson is the next

346
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: said he has a transformer. But yeah, regardless of who's

347
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: throwing to Josh Gordon, he's putting up points. I have

348
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: a feeling he will be receiving an award when we

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: do our Fantasy awards next week. I would think so,

350
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: I think so still to come. The legend has it

351
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: that every week sixteen, the naughty fantasy players get a

352
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: bad Championship week matchup and they're stalking. But don't you worry.

Speaker 1: when it first fabs. The Playoff Challenge game looks simple,

375
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: but there's a nice wrinkle to it. Explain it. And

376
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: you talked about the multiplier, So you want to go

377
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: after players who you think are gonna advance the most.

378
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: So if you think a team is going from wild

379
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: card to super Bowl, that's a great prediction. Even if

380
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: you think a team with a buy in the first

381
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: round is going to the super Bowl, you can still

382
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: play them in the first round and get double points

383
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: in the second round, triple in the third, quadruple in

384
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Alright, so I'll show you how it works.

385
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: The first thing you have to do is figure out

386
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: what team do you think are gonna go to the

387
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Michael Fabiano has the NFC. Who do you

388
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: think is going? I think Seattle's going. Seattle is pretty

389
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: tough to beat at home if they have the home

390
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: field advantage. They haven't lost a game since two thousand

391
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: and eleven. So I like Russell Wilson. I like a

392
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: whole lot of Seattle Seahawks. Again. I've got San Francisco

393
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: go going into the second round losing to Seattle. New

394
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: Orleans and Seattle play for the NFC Championship and then

395
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: the Seahawks go back to the Super Bowl. Jason, all right,

396
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Denver Broncos. It's gonna lay out

397
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: like this. The Bengals will beat the Ravens in the

398
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: first round, Kansas City will go into Indianapolis and win again.

399
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: These are the seatings as they are right now. Second round,

400
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: the Bengals pull the upset over the New England Patriots,

401
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos take care of the Chiefs, and the a

402
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: f C Championship game Broncos and Bengals. I have the

403
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Broncos moving on. So pretty popular super Bowl pick here

404
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: between the Broncos and the Seattle seatuck. So if we

405
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: think these teams are going to the Super Bowl, now

406
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: who are we gonna pick for our playoff challenge lineup?

407
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano, a quarterback. I know where you're going Russell Wilson.

408
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: This is a guy who has put up some very

409
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: good numbers in two playoff games, averaging right around twenty

410
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: six Spantasy points per game. And when he plays at

411
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: home in the Great Northwest, Jason, he becomes the second

412
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: coming of Joe Montana. He puts up great points and

413
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: he doesn't turn the ball over. Russell Wilson will be

414
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: my NFL playoff challenge to back my running back. I'm

415
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: sticking with the Seattle Seahawks here. I'm going with Marshawn Lynch.

416
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: He simply will be the best running back that I

417
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: think can go the furthest in the playoffs. Look, he's

418
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: a top five fantasy running back already in the playoffs

419
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: his last two games, averaging over sixteen Fantasy points a game,

420
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve yards from scrimmage. He's gonna be in

421
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people's lineups, and he's in mine. Wide

422
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: receiver wise, Fabs, I think you're heading over to my

423
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: side to pick one. I am gonna do this because

424
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: Seattle doesn't have that elite wide receiver, but the Denver Broncos,

425
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: they sure do. They have a few of them. Da

426
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas my boy DT I love him. Peyton Manny

427
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be looking to throw him the ball often.

428
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: Much like in the regular season, he will see a

429
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: lot of targets in the postseason. D Marius Thomas on

430
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: a team that I also think is going to go

431
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, that Denver Broncos is a very

432
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: strong play. I remember, you don't need to pick who's

433
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl. You just want the teams

434
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: that are gonna go the furthest and pick the players

435
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: from there. As fab said, the points double, triple, quadruple

436
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: when it gets the Super Bowl. You get one touchdown

437
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: running from Russell Wilson the Super Bowl and that's twenty

438
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: four fantasy points because it goes that goes the big

439
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: production there. Yep, all right now, tight end wise, it's

440
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty easy because Julius Thomas. If I'm picking

441
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos to go to the super Bowl, He's gonna

442
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: be my tight end. He's a top three fantasy tight end.

443
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Eleven receiving touchdowns this season. That's third among tight end,

444
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points among tight end this season. Look,

445
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: this guy has become a superstar in the league. In

446
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: not many other tight ends out there. I would pick

447
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Got Jimmy Graham in the NFC, but

448
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think the Saints are going to the Super Bowl,

449
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with Julius Thomas, who I think

450
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: is advancing defense. FABS, Well, I know where you're going

451
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: here too. I'm making a lot of fans in Seattle.

452
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: I think you are because the Seahawks defense is nasty,

453
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: but they're even nastier in the Great Northwest on their

454
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: home field. This is why during the regular season, every

455
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: time a player goes to Seattle, even if it's Drew

456
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: Brees or an elite player, we're a little bit worried

457
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: about starting him. Just like Larry Fitzgerald this week. This

458
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: defense is just playing strong on their home field, regardless

459
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: of what's going on with Brandon Browner and any of

460
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: these other guys. This is the pick in the playoff

461
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: challenge at defense. You're so popular in Seattle, you could

462
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: open for Pearl Jam, you think, so you can just

463
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: come out and get fantasy advice for like twenty minutes.

464
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: People would stay crazy and then Pearl Jam comes out.

465
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to do that. Let's do it, man,

466
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: here's our playoff challenge lineup right now. This is what

467
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: we are setting right now, Wilson, Marshaw, Lynch. You're gonna

468
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: pick two running backs and two wide receivers. So no

469
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Shan Marino gets in there, Eric Decker gets in, Housa

470
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: has the defense fabs, but no Shan Marino's your second

471
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: running back. How confident are you in him? I am.

472
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm confident in the Broncos. Thus I am confident in

473
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: no Shan Marino. Hey man, he's been one of the

474
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: best running backs in fantasy football this season. That's not

475
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna change in the playoffs. Right If you had to

476
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: pick one guy who's not a Seahawk or a Bronco

477
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: that you really like, I wish I could put in

478
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: my line up, but I can't give me. The one

479
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: guy you would pick, probably Cam Newton because he's going

480
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: to be playing in wild Card weekend. Then I have

481
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: him advancing to the second round and you never know

482
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: what can happen there in a division around, Maybe they

483
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: upset the Saints this time around, but it would be Cam. Yeah,

484
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Dalton would be my guy. If I think the Bengals

485
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: could just win one more game and make it to

486
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but I think the Broncos and Peyton

487
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Manning tough to go against him. Now, coming up Friday

488
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: Night Light star Scott Porter Style spot to talk some

489
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: smacked his celebrity Fantasy League Championship opponent Michael Fabiano after well,

490
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't think fat is going to crack under the pressure.

491
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: The smack talk. Next, you won't want to miss NFL

492
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live rolls on coming out? Can you trust all

493
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson without case? Keenum will answer that and more

494
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: of your burning questions for a Week sixteen and just

495
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: a moment, and are you lonely? Did your team fall

496
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: apart in the playoffs? It's time to start thinking forward

497
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: because we're talking first round picks. Get your swag back.

498
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: Plus we're going in Disney World. Stay tuned for under

499
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: the radar players that might be the m v ps

500
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: of your Fantasy Football Championship. This is NFL Fantasy Live.

501
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: I get some Mickey ears. Let's get you caught up

502
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: on the big news from around the league. Brown's tight

503
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: and Jordan Cameron held out of practice today, not sure

504
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: if he'll play in Week sixteen. You have him Adam

505
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Rank on your championship team in the experts league, Who

506
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: are some other options? I rushed out and picked up

507
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: Zach Miller because the Arizona Cardinals have given up the

508
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: most fantasy points at tight ends this season. Plus, Miller

509
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: has scored two touchdowns in his last two games against

510
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: the team you know. And another sneaky play to really

511
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: is looking at Andrew Corliss over there for the Green

512
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Bay Packers when you look at the chemistry that he's

513
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: developed now with Matt Flynn. He's got back to back

514
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: games with twelve fantasy points. That's pretty impressive he's got

515
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: and he's getting targeted a ton as well. And yeah,

516
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: there's there's a couple like if Dennis Pitt and Delaney Walker,

517
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're if there's still somehow available

518
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: in your league, Like, that's that's your due diligence of

519
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: go looking for those guys. First Gray until Aaron Rodgers

520
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: limited in practice today, Matt Flynn took the first team reps.

521
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: Will find out which one of those quarterbacks will start

522
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: on Friday. According to the Packers, would you guys start

523
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Flynn if he's in the lineup off bar, No, that's

524
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: a negative. I'm not starting Matt Flynn. If he's in

525
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: the lineup, I think there are other better options out there,

526
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: and chances are you're not stuck with Matt Flynn. It's

527
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: a good matchup, but I would look somewhere else. Negative

528
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: ghost writer. Okay, so you're you're scared to start Matt

529
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Flynn in this scenario. We're going to it to starters

530
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: that you are scared of this particular matchup here Week sixteen.

531
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot on the line. It's the championship and

532
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: I want to start with Tony Rummel. A lot of

533
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: people would say this is an excellent matchup. It's the Redskins,

534
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, you say, new way, Jose, Can I give

535
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: you some real talk, Pa, Let's get real talk. Okay.

536
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: If you look historically, Tony Romo has not played well

537
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: against the Redskins on the road. Every time he's gone

538
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: to d C, he's had less than two hundred and

539
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: ninety yards. But let's take a look at this from

540
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: a real football perspective. The Cowboys are getting crushed this

541
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: week for not running the ball in the second half.

542
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Here comes the over correction. The Redskins cannot stop teams

543
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: on the ground. DeMarco Murray could end up carrying the

544
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: ball somewhere close to forty times. They're gonna overcorrect. I

545
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: like a guy like Kirk Cousins. You know they need

546
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: to deal him in the offseason. You can't deal him

547
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: when you're handing up the ball to to Freddy Morris.

548
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: So he's got to pass, you know. And I so

549
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: agree with you in that over correction. Now, you know,

550
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: having played with Bill Callahan, I know they probably won't

551
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: run it forty times. Well, he's gonna run it a

552
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: ton about thirty times. He's gonna call it that dollar

553
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: Thills run place. Then you mentioned Kirk Cousins. The Cowboys

554
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: don't do well against backup quarterbacks two out of three

555
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: eighteen plus fantasy points. Alright, at far, let's get into Seattle.

556
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: That defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game

557
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: over the last month. You scarred, Yes, I am, because

558
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, let's just call it the way it is.

559
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: When you talk about this secondary group for the Seattle Seahawks,

560
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: they are thugs because they just mug wide receivers. And

561
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm scared to play Larry Fitzgerald in this matchup when

562
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: you think about what he did the last game. He

563
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: had one reception for two yards and he's probably saying, well,

564
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he wasn't getting thrown the ball out. No, no, no, no, no.

565
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: The quarterback isn't looking his way because he sees Richard

566
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Sherman over there doing his thing on on Larry Fitzgerald.

567
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: You look to the other side, and those guys are very,

568
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: very efficient. They're gonna bring pressure, They're gonna get pressure

569
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: in Carston Palmer space. I say you stay away from

570
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. I'm nervous, Award. I do a little segment

571
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: on Fridays on NFL and it's called Fantasy versus Reality.

572
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: This matchup so interesting and fantasy and reality tom Brady

573
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: against the Ravens not so good. Adam. Yeah, as you

574
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: see right there, the Ravens are the only team Tom

575
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: Brady has thrown more interceptions against then touchdowns, which is telling.

576
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: And so this is a tough one. You know, you've

577
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: got to your championship match with Tom Brady. You're looking good.

578
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: What do you do with this guy? While you might

579
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: be asking the wrong person, because I will start Tom

580
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Brady each in every week under Strafens is so mediocre

581
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: without wrong nobody adapts more than Tom Brady and this

582
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: new England offense. Last year, they were one of the

583
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: first teams that come out with that two tight ends

584
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: set revolutionize the NFL. Now this year, both tight ends

585
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: are gone. They come out against the Dolphins and they

586
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: use an extended running game by throwing those short passes.

587
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: They're hitting Edelman, They're hitting all those guys, all those

588
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: short receivers. That's how they play. They will find a

589
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: way against the Ravens. Hashtag real talk, hashtag true story

590
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: off our. Steven Jackson no more than a flex option

591
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: against San frand right, they don't. They don't let running

592
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: backs too much. Yeah, you know, I'm not even gonna

593
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: say I don't know that I even trust him as

594
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: a flex option. I think you can find better options

595
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: out there now. I know last week against the Washington Riskins,

596
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: you went out there and put up sixteen Fantasy point

597
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: So you might start thinking, oh, yeah, this is how

598
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win my championship game. I'm gonna see you. No, no,

599
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: don't overthink you. When you think about the San Francisco

600
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: forty Niners and the way they've been playing defense, they're

601
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: not giving up those yards to to Steven Jackson. They

602
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: are stopping the run, and they're being physical. They're being

603
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: able to shed blockers. You talk about how they're able

604
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: to stop the run, those guys are up front, they're

605
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: shedding the blockers, are getting in those and filling those

606
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: A gap, B gaps, sea gaps. There's nowhere for Steven

607
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Jackson to run. They've allowed the fewest points per game

608
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: to a running back in the last two games. Maybe

609
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: they'll get an award. Guys, Because fantasy season is almost

610
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,280

Speaker 1: and in irock Z, the man whose license plate reads

644

Speaker 1: I have more Twitter followers than you and who still

645
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: has a picture of Kirsty Alley on his bedroom wall,

646
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: The fabulous one. Michael Fabiano coming after you. Quarter Im

00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna get something, Like I said, come and get some.

648
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: I'm crazy baby. Michael Fabiano the defending champion. He has

649
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: to take on Scott Porter, the big Celebrity League Championship.

650
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: And you guys made a big trade that could come

651
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: back and haunt you guys. Actually I'm not. I don't

652
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: think it's haunted me at all. I got Josh Gordon

653
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: and Bobby Rainy out of the deal. I gave No

654
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: Sean Moreno and Keenan Allen up to Fabiano. But Nan,

655
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is he's he's two men in one. Usually

656
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: he hurts up another points that I didn't mind losing

657
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 1: to two vital parts. I needed a better wide receiver

658
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: to to kind of go out there with a j

659
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: green and rap him some points as a PPR and uh.

660
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: He is a man among men, he is a god

661
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: among men. He's like Zeus out there. He isn't pretty good,

662
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: but keenan Allen ever since I acquired him, he's a

663
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: touchdown machine. Porter. All right, let's break down the match

664
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: up here and start at quarterback. Michael Fabiano starting Jake

665
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Cutler this week. Fabs hy j Cutler. Why not Jay Cutler?

666
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: He's been tastic last week, almost twenty fantasy points. In

667
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: every full game that he's played, he has only failed

668
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: to score seventeen two more points one time, Mr Smith.

669
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: And he's got a great matchup against the Eagles, a

670
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: team that gave up thirty fantasy points to Matt Castle

671
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: last week. Jay Color is gonna come in punching, throwing

672
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: against team Mile High Club. Now a big change for

673
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: Scott Porter. You initially had Voodoo tatum In took him

674
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: out and now you have Kirk Cousins for the championship.

675
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, I've got Romo. He got me to

676
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: the championship. But Cousin, even though his sample size is

677
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: very small, hasn't thrown for less than three thirty nine

678
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: yards in a game that he started and completed. Multiple

679
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game that he started. And I know

680
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: that it's small, but what's not small. It's Fabiano's Cowboys

681
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: defense giving up points after points after points to QB's

682
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: all season long. It's a great matchup. He's got Santana Moss,

683
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboy Killer on his side. I think that Kirk

684
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Cousins is gonna come through for me, and I'm not

685
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: as afraid to start a young buck and this in

686
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: this championship. I'm coming in here, the rookie going up

687
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: against the former champ, and I'm gonna knock him out, Like,

688
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: let's go, man, a former champ. You're talking about the

689
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: current champ former After this weekend, I'm gonna give the advantage.

690
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: I'll give the advantage of Scott and Kirk Cousins simply

691
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: because we've talked about this all week long. If they

692
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: want a first round pick for Kirk Cousins, he's gonna

693
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: throw the football forty five times. That's simply gonna happen

694
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: on sund I'll give a slight edge to Scott for

695
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: that one. Wide receivers, here's a tough one. Josh Gordon

696
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: obtained in a mid season deal with Michael Fabiano as

697
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: you said, he's been giving you the production of two guys. Yeah,

698
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean A J. Green has been solid all year long,

699
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: and now I have Josh Gordon. It's just another heavyweight

700
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: in the ring. For me, it's just the guy who

701
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: could throw knockout blows constantly, even when you don't think

702
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: he's doing much in the first half, and this his

703
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: second half production has been beautiful the last four weeks.

704
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is just a beast and him

705
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: and A J. Green to get there. I don't know

706
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: that there's many wide receiver tandems out there in fantasy

707
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: that could that could go ahead to have with my guys. No,

708
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: and he's playing the Jets this week, which it always

709
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: helps anybody, no matter if you're good or bad. That

710
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: helps you. Now fabs Brandon Marshall still a stud, but

711
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: now sharing some of the attention with Al Shar doesn't matter.

712
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: He's still scoring fantasy points this as a PPR league.

713
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: As Mr Porter mentioned, I've got j Color to Brandon Marshall.

714
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a nasty QB to wide

715
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 1: receiver combination from a fantasy perspective, there might not be

716
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: a better one in the National Football League. You know

717
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: Ja Color, he loves to throw the football to Brandon

718
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Marshall and he will do that often against that lousy

719
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: Eagles past defense. You know, gonna give the advantage to

720
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: Scott simply because Josh Gordon has been the best wide

721
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: receiver in Fantasy over the last man. You're the champion,

722
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: he's the underdog. This is how it works. Maybe I'll

723
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: have your guy in the flex. Let's get to the

724
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: flex now. Michael Fabiano's got Keenan Allen in his flex.

725
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: A lot of times flexes where matchups are one and lost,

726
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen obtained in that trade with Scott Porter,

727
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: He's been terrific. You know he plays this weekend, Mr

728
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Promoter Smith, the Oakland Raiders, the team that gave up

729
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: seven touchdown passes to Nick Foles, the team that gave

730
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: up five touchdowns and four passing touchdowns to the Kansas

731
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: City Chiefs last week. Well, I'll tell you something right now, Scottie,

732
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: I so appreciate you trade, and you Keenan Allen and

733
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: you offered me that trade to Keenan Allen is hot

734
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna stay hot. He's gonna knock out the

735
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: rad He's like, I'm gonna knock out you all right now.

736
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: To combat that, you would have Jordan Todman coming off

737
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: a huge week a week ago. Yeah, I'm I'm you know.

738
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: I If m j D comes back and he's healthy,

739
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: which I hope he is, of course, Uh, then Jordan

740
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: Todman may rotate out of that flex spot. But if

741
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: he's all alone down there and m j D is

742
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: not healthy and not Ago, I'll trust a running back.

743
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: This late in the season, you never know what's gonna happen.

744
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: With passing games, things start to get shut down. And

745
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: even though Keenan Allen has been the man, he cannot

746
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: continue the tear that he's been on as a rookie.

747
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: We keep on waiting to see him hit the wall,

748
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna hit wall this against the Raider. I

749
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: also have a couple of options I got in that trade.

750
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: I got Bobby Rainy back as well as Josh Gordon

751
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: in the trade that we made, so there's a possibility

752
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: he could show up and there. And Monty Ball has

753
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: been solid for me the last couple of weeks, So

754
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: I've got options at the flex, which is is uh,

755
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: it could be a blessing and a curse. But if

756
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: Tomman is the only man getting all the work down there,

757
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: he got thirty two touches last week, I see him

758
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: having the same type of game this week. All right,

759
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: so there's the previous gentleman. Step up here as we

760
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: get our final pictures before the about stand up here

761
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: and face each other. This is the last chance you

762
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: guys love to talk before the championship match we'll get

763
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: We'll give the first comment to the champion. It's all over. Man,

764
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm like Rocky ballboy. You're a little bit taller than

765
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: most people are taller than. But what's gonna happen to

766
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: take you down? For now? You know what's gonna happen

767
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: this weekend. It might be close, you might have some hope,

768
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: But just like my Broncos did to your Cowboys earlier

769
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: this year, I'm gonna come out victorious. Here you go

770
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Hey, I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all. Man,

771
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: I stepped up all you're like, I said, come get

772
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: some come want, come get Michael Fabiano Scott Porter for

773
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: all the marvels in the NFL dot Com Celebrity League

774
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: boy that escalated quickly coming up. If you're not like

775
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano and playing in seven Fantasy League championship games

776
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: a new season away too, we're predicting first round fantasy players.

777
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: Stay with us as these two keep hitting their heads together.

778
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live Time now for our

779
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: burning questions as we make sense of all the major

780
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: storylines throughout the NFL this week. First up, Matt Shop

781
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: getting the start at quarterback for the Texans. So akbar,

782
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: do you still trust Andre Johnson without Case Keendom. You know,

783
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: that's very hard for me to trust Andre Johnson. When

784
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: you take a look at the production with Andre Johnson

785
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: with Keenum versus match Shop, It's hard. I mean, look

786
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: at Kate's Keenum and you see Andre Johnson his touchdown

787
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: five touchdown from Kase Keenum. That's where you get the

788
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: majority of your fantasy points. I'm gonna say, you know,

789
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back off of Andre Johnson when he comes

790
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: to Matt Shop on the balltore completely backing off, like

791
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: could you still start him as well? He said he

792
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: would be a flex more more or less, he just

793
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: couldn't be a number one for me. You know a

794
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys like and j. Johnson is the number one,

795
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: and he's shown that production. Of course, if Matt Shaw

796
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: can't find him the ball, that's gonna be very hard.

797
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: Your championship depends on Matt Shaw getting him the ball.

798
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: Here's why I like Andre Johnson because the Texans are

799
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna be behind in that whole game. Denver is gonna

800
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: be blowing them out and they're gonna have to throw

801
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: the football. And Denver's past defense is not that good.

802
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm starting Honre Johnson against Scott Porter,

803
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: so I have to like him. Well, here's the other

804
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: thing on that. As defenses, they can get interceptions to

805
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: when Matt shop is starting. That didn't work for me

806
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: when I started by Fitzpatrick there a couple of weeks ago.

807
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot all right. Now, let's move on here

808
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: to some under the radar guys most likely to win

809
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: you a Fantasy championship rank. Who's your guy? I like

810
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins this week going up against the Dallas Cowboys.

811
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that they need to get

812
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: a high draft pick from Kirk Cousins, and you don't

813
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: get a high draft pick by handing the ball off

814
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: to Freddy Morris thirty five times. If you look at

815
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: the game last week against the Atlanta Falcons, he threw

816
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: the ball forty five times. And now he's going up

817
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys who have allowed the most points to

818
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks this season. The matchup is great. The Redskins

819
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: will be motivated to beat the Cowboys to keep them

820
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. Like I said, to trade him,

821
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: you got to increase his value, and the only way

822
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: to do that is to throw them all. How many

823
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: points you think he has this way? Eighteen point nine?

824
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: At least eighteen point nine. Is you not hear what

825
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: I just said? Eighteen point nine exactly? Are you have

826
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: a wide receiver od Bar who's your under the radar guy? Well,

827
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just in love with Cordero Patterson. I

828
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: have seen his matchuration through this two thousand and thirteen season.

829
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: I think he can continue that. Especially I love the

830
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: matchup you get Cordeal Patterson getting the ball down deep.

831
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: I think he could be a guy at sneaky play

832
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: to help you win your championship. And he just looks

833
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: like Randy Moss, doesn't He's not him all right? The

834
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: guys who are being asked about the most on Fantasy

835
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: genius are Nick Foles and Philip Rivers. So fab settle

836
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: this for everybody. Who's the better start this week? I

837
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: love Rivers? How can you not playing against the Oakland Raiders? Sorry? Bar,

838
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: but Nick Foles has and one of the best quarterbacks

839
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: in fantasy football, one of the top three over the

840
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: last five or six weeks. And I know the matchup

841
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: isn't really that great on paper, but I'm going with

842
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Man. This is one of those situations where

843
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the guy who brung me, and Nick

844
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: Foles brought a lot of people to the Fantasy Championship,

845
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: including myself in a couple of leeks. Right, who's your

846
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: guy here? I would go with Philip Rivers. Actually, I

847
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: like the matchup a little bit more. Philip Rivers at

848
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: home still and still in the mix there, so that

849
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: that would be my guy that part break the tie.

850
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Nick Foles. I just love the

851
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: way he's been operating in this offense, so it's gotta

852
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: be Nick Foles. The best news is they're both good

853
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: plays and they're you're really splitting hairs here, so if

854
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: you have both these guys, congratulations. I'm gonna take a

855
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: look now at a few fantasy players that are borderline

856
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: first round draft picks. Help get set for next season,

857
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: because if you're like me, you're not playing for anything

858
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: this week it happens. Let's move on. Is ray Rice

859
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: still a first round pick next season? Absolutely? Noted. The

860
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: number of running backs have jumped ahead of ray Rice

861
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: going in the next season, so I will leave him

862
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: into the second of the third round. If he's somebody

863
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: that I can get a little bit later, I would

864
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: probably be pretty happy with it, because he's not that old.

865
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: He could possibly rebound, and of course, when Dennis Pitta

866
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: is there for a full season, their offense should be

867
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more dynamic. But going in the next season,

868
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: there's no reason to use a first round pick on

869
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: ray Rice. Eddie Lacy bar is he a first round pick? Absolutely?

870
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I have him now ranked as the number

871
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: eight guy I'm taking off my board in the mock draft.

872
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: When you look at Eddie Lacey, just the way that

873
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: they utilize them in this offense, you know that they're

874
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: very confident in his running ability. In fact, he's averaging

875
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: nineteen rushes per game. Are you kidding me? That's a

876
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: lot of rushes. That's a lot of opportunities for him

877
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: to make a difference on your fantasy team. Remember when

878
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: he was fat and nobody liked them, and now he's

879
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: slimming trip alright, fabs the season Peyton Manning is having,

880
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: likely going to break the all time record for touchdown passes.

881
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: Does this make him a first round maybe? Some people

882
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: not to me. I am sticking by my guns. I said,

883
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: don't draft a quarterback until after the fifth round. I

884
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: did pretty well this year my league's I am not

885
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: drafting Peyton Manning in the first round. Heck, I will

886
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: take Nick Foles in round five somewhere around there. I'll

887
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: go after r G three if he slides into round six,

888
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: round seven, round eight, Hayton Manning first round. No quarterback

889
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: for me is going in the first round. All right,

890
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: great call from Adam Rank this preseason that Forte would

891
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: have a phenomenal season under Mark Trestman. That's exactly what's happened, right.

892
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: So now has he played his way into the upper

893
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: echelan in the first round. He certainly should have, and

894
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: our Matt money Smith did draft him in the first

895
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: round of our NFL Experts league, and that where and

896
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: that's where you should draft Matt Fourte next season. I

897
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: would have picked them in the first round, but I

898
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: had Jamal Charles sitting there, so I took him. And

899
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: I was hoping that Forte would fall down to that

900
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: second round. Perhaps some people to be sleeping, but of

901
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: course Money was not. And if you look at him

902
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: and the way he's performed in this offense, it's been

903
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: very good because he's able to play all one hundred yards.

904
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: That was the big knock against him a couple of

905
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: years ago. Michael Bush was going in and stealing those

906
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: looks at the goal line. But Matt Porte has been

907
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: getting into the end zone a lot this season, so

908
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: and I expect that they continue next year. So make

909
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: sure Forte is a first round pick for you. He

910
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: was there for me too, and I took c J.

911
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: Do you think Lovey Smith this thinking, boy, what the

912
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: heck was I doing not playing him more? Yeah? How

913
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: about Josh Gordon? With what he's done, has he made

914
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: his way into the first round. Yeah, he's made a

915
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: straight case that he should be a first round In fact,

916
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: I have him slightly will right above Eddie Lacey and

917
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: my mock draft as the number seven guy coming off

918
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: the board. And the reason why is you look at him.

919
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: He's an explosive player, not just physically from that talent,

920
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: but the amount of plays that he's making right now.

921
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: He's averaging nineteen point eight yards per catch? Are you

922
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: kidding me? And he's got the most yards right now

923
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and explosive play in the NFL is

924
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty five yards or more. He's given that every catch

925
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: explosive A top five pick. FABS. Where does Doug Martin

926
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: fall next year? I say he's gonna be top of

927
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: the second round, somewhere around Ray Rice, and both of

928
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: these guys could end up being bargains. Ray Rice has

929
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: banged up this whole season. I think that's a big

930
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: reason why he hasn't played well. Doug Martin was injured,

931
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: had the shoulder, missed a lot of the season. He'll

932
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: be back, He'll continue to be the centerpiece of the offense.

933
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: And the good news is that since he's been gone,

934
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have run the ball with some pretty good success.

935
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: So I think that translates over to next season. Maybe

936
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: they improved the offensive line. This is a this is

937
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: a guy who really warrants a second run pick, a

938
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: high second round pick, a right first So that's for

939
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: next year, but we're giving out some hardware for this year.
