Speaker 1: the pumpkin. H This is made of paper and I
Speaker 1: can't hear you very well, but it's festive. It's absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1: I had to get my wife to help me put
Speaker 1: it together. Uh yeah, it's uh my face mask is
Speaker 1: a little messed up, but other than that is a
Speaker 1: pretty decent fit. Just another day where I'm going to
Speaker 1: start Derrick Henry and uh fools are gonna say that
Speaker 1: he's not a top twelve running back and they're going
Speaker 1: to suffer the consequences. It is outstanding. What I hope
Speaker 1: you wear that every game day. I actually can't even
Speaker 1: tell if that's other a real helmet, be just a
Speaker 1: Snapchat filter or see home made. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. Yeah, I'm trying to figure made
Speaker 1: a paper. It's really impressive. Whatever it is, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I wish I couldn't. Actually, that is awesome. I wish
Speaker 1: I can say that I wanted a jets one for myself,
Speaker 1: but we're past that, Greig. You made a past that
Speaker 1: can't make you one of those. No, I'd rather just
Speaker 1: wear like a paper mask of Adam Gaze's face. I
Speaker 1: got my Danny Dives ready to go, baby. I heard
Speaker 1: someone say this downstairs in the pit the other day.
Speaker 1: And we should probably go back and find the audience
Speaker 1: when the Giants drafted take and we can just we'll
Speaker 1: play that in conjunction with you celebrating him starting this week,
Speaker 1: and let's just kind of compare to the two. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm a sports fan man. We come around always. You
Speaker 1: came around on Adam gaze for a week. When did
Speaker 1: that happen? Please tell tell me when that happened? Great preseason.
Speaker 1: I tried to tell all of you. I tried. There's
Speaker 1: still time. All right. On today's show will joined by
Speaker 1: Virginia Zaki is all inside injuries. She'll join the program
Speaker 1: coming up about two twenty pm Eastern time. We are
Speaker 1: also gonna go over, of course Thursday Night football e wise.
Speaker 1: Titans taken on the Jaguars in the annual Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Affair e wise and only Titans and Jacks fans and
Speaker 1: get excited for this Thursday night at Shravganza because the
Speaker 1: rest of the country it's probably gonna be a terrible game. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: My body is ready for twelve nine. Greg, your body
Speaker 1: is right. I don't think it is tomorrow morning. You're
Speaker 1: gonna like limp in here Rose twelve nine. I had
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't stop drinking. And that's the only
Speaker 1: way to watch this game is to drink heavily. Now
Speaker 1: here I am. So you know, why what are you
Speaker 1: firing up tonight? You got some you got some whiskey,
Speaker 1: some cigars to help you get through this, uh, this
Speaker 1: this awesome game. That we have on probably both, maybe
Speaker 1: some other secret who knows. But I mean, look, I
Speaker 1: know I don't care. I love football, Tennessee Titans or
Speaker 1: my team. Their defense has looked great. I can cheer
Speaker 1: for defensive football just the same as I can cheer
Speaker 1: for offensive football. As far as fantasy goes, um, there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot going on. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and that's about it. Delanney Walker at tight end,
Speaker 1: and uh that's probably the end of the list. Maybe
Speaker 1: Leonard for Net catching some some checkdown passes from the
Speaker 1: Secret Garden, and perhaps a long bomb to DJ Shark.
Speaker 1: But other than that, that's about it. I'm not starting
Speaker 1: any Titans wide receivers, although it hurts my heart to
Speaker 1: say that, but uh yeah, it's just gonna be another
Speaker 1: week of Derrick Henry producing top wide or top running
Speaker 1: back numbers and people telling me how he's not a
Speaker 1: top running back. So that'll be fun. There's your Thursday
Speaker 1: night football preview. Greg, Start Derrick Henry, Start Leonard for Nett,
Speaker 1: Start de Laney Walker, what time? End? What time? Do
Speaker 1: other things? Later? Then start both defenses, and you know,
Speaker 1: you know what I'll actually say about the defensives. You've
Speaker 1: been getting a lot of questions. You start the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: you start to type, and here's what I'll say, in
Speaker 1: these lower scoring affairs, defenses are not always the best
Speaker 1: for fantasy in these games because you want defenses that
Speaker 1: are going up against opponents that are trailing throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: You have the ability to get sacks, you have the
Speaker 1: ability to get turnovers. Went into game like this where
Speaker 1: it's just back in four teams running the football, those
Speaker 1: are actually not the best games to start your defenses in.
Speaker 1: Look at the New England Patriots from last week. They're
Speaker 1: destroying the Miami Dolphins. They have to throw the football,
Speaker 1: they end up getting a bunch of sacks, end up
Speaker 1: getting two pick sixes. Those are actually the games that
Speaker 1: you want to start your fantasy defenses in. So, yes,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a low scoring affair, and people who
Speaker 1: drafted the Jaguars probably still want to use their defense tonight.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, just as a fantasy fallacy, people
Speaker 1: like to start defenses in low scoring games. It's not
Speaker 1: necessarily the case here. Greg. Yeah, it's a really good
Speaker 1: point that people just see low scoring games not a
Speaker 1: lot of points scored, and I realized it more so
Speaker 1: than ever this year. And I'm like looking at my defense,
Speaker 1: but I don't understand the bills allowed thing. The Giants,
Speaker 1: Why don't they get a lot of points and they're
Speaker 1: just like, well, a lot of fourteen points and they're
Speaker 1: only sacked them once. Yeah, and they had a couple
Speaker 1: of turnovers. Are just good, but it's just not enough
Speaker 1: to keep the team that you're facing under a certain
Speaker 1: points totally. They need more. They need those pick sixes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need interceptions. And the only way that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: is if a team is dropping back there throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: That's how you get sacks as well. If you remember
Speaker 1: last year, it was the Chiefs and Rams on Monday
Speaker 1: Night Football. It was a shootout. It was an awesome game.
Speaker 1: I believe it was either the Chiefs or Rams defense
Speaker 1: in that game was the top scoring defense that we
Speaker 1: could because they had a bunch of sacks, they had
Speaker 1: a bunch of pick six and it was crazy. But
Speaker 1: it was a back and forth affair and normally you'd say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: this game has a fifty seven point total. I don't
Speaker 1: want to start my defense in this and I understand
Speaker 1: that logic, right like, but ultimately, I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of a fallacy that we've we've kind of fallen into
Speaker 1: when we start fantasy defenses. We just automatically look at, oh, well,
Speaker 1: let's get a lower scoring game. They're not gonna give
Speaker 1: up points. But ultimately, you want a defense that's going
Speaker 1: to be playing against the team that's trailing, and a
Speaker 1: team with a bad offensive line obviously helps. Where you
Speaker 1: can get sacks and you get turnovers. That's definitely what
Speaker 1: you're looking for, what you're looking for your fantasy defense,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's what There's an effortable review
Speaker 1: pretty much, that's all we got. So we're talking about
Speaker 1: she's cut up on the show a little bit later,
Speaker 1: what do the leftover is On the other side, We
Speaker 1: look at our waiver wires right now and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy is still at there. He was left over?
Speaker 1: Should we pick him up or Jordan Wilkins. Jordan Wilkins certainly,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington, Greggy Jalen probably not. It's not looking good
Speaker 1: for Josh Jacobs though it's not what he doing. Is
Speaker 1: he hanging out with Sam Donald? He lose ten pounds
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. He's not doing anything that's
Speaker 1: good for him, that's for sure. It is possible with
Speaker 1: with fluids and stuff. If you're violently sick and you've
Speaker 1: got your you're losing it out both ends. It is
Speaker 1: definitely possible. But it's uh the ten and ten and
Speaker 1: ten pounds for a guy who sizes a lot of weight.
Speaker 1: We didn't take a break here. When we come back,
Speaker 1: it's leftovers portion of the program we'll feed you next.

Speaker 1: Teddy Covers at Route Michaels. The Minnesota Vikings have been
Speaker 1: the elite team at home as a favorite. The Raiders
Speaker 1: to me actually played well against Kansas City. The Raiders
Speaker 1: are exceeding my expectations for him. I just think it's
Speaker 1: Minnesota at home and getting dear car in a line
Speaker 1: can potentially cause him some habit. Watch live week days
Speaker 1: three or four pm Eastern on Sports Grade That Motiv
Speaker 1: Channel seven nineteen. Back with you, BFFs. He's free. He's
Speaker 1: Eric were no longer wearing the helmet. I'm Greg, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's happening on the on the program right now? We
Speaker 1: want to get to know a second, we're gonna call
Speaker 1: the leftovers, which we're looking our waiver wires collectively, the
Speaker 1: three of us. We're gonna go over some of the
Speaker 1: players are available and we're not picked up through the
Speaker 1: first run or two off the waiver wire and see
Speaker 1: who's worth picking up. So it's a segment we like
Speaker 1: to call leftovers. Still didn't get your fill from the
Speaker 1: waiver wire? Now one more the BFFs has your leftovers?
Speaker 1: Watch this? Never mind, give me a whole lot of it.
Speaker 1: All right, he's leftovers here, Let's get right into it.
Speaker 1: Let me start, gentlemen in Indianapolis where Marlon Mack once
Speaker 1: again did not practice here on Thursday. So that means
Speaker 1: two days no practice. If it doesn't practice again on Friday,
Speaker 1: well he's probably not gonna play, leaving Jordan Wilkins and
Speaker 1: Naheim Hines as these stars of the Colts backfield, of course,
Speaker 1: behind the best offensive line in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: arguably Frankie On many waiver wires, both Jordan Wilkins and
Speaker 1: Naheim Hines are available. What do you think? Yeah, definitely
Speaker 1: have some interest in both of these guys, more so
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins. I know a lot of people would gravitate
Speaker 1: towards Niheim Heinz. The Falcons have actually done a better
Speaker 1: job of guarding past catching running backs so far this season.
Speaker 1: They are allowing over four yards per carry two running
Speaker 1: backs so far this year. But behind that offensive line,
Speaker 1: I want the guy who's running between the tackles, who's
Speaker 1: gonna get go line opportunities. And I truly believe that
Speaker 1: if Marlon Mack were not able to play this week,
Speaker 1: that role is going to go to Jordan Wilkins. And
Speaker 1: I think that, as we saw through the first two games,
Speaker 1: they're going to lean the ground game, another great call
Speaker 1: by e Y. Without Andrew Luck, they're leaning more on
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. He didn't run efficiently last week, but he
Speaker 1: still had twenty rushing attempts. Jordan Wilkins actually only had
Speaker 1: five rushing attempts and he was over eight yards, so
Speaker 1: showing some of his explosiveness as well, very very sneaky play.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Marlon Mack is gonna be good
Speaker 1: to go this week. That would make Jordan Wilkins a
Speaker 1: flex option in my opinion, Greig, Jordan Wilkins could be
Speaker 1: a flex option against Atlanta. Here's a lot of these
Speaker 1: types of players that we're talking about this week. Lashaw McCoy.
Speaker 1: Another one, Dami Williams not practicing today. McCoy, it looks
Speaker 1: like getting in at least a limited session. He could
Speaker 1: be an option there for you. But let me throw
Speaker 1: this at you. E y, he minds. Jordan Willkins could
Speaker 1: be out there. Are you starting him? I really liked me.
Speaker 1: He mind He's a guy that I have a ton
Speaker 1: of him in bastball. Uh. The reality is with the
Speaker 1: football in his hands and he Hinds is one of
Speaker 1: the fastest players in the NFL at any position. So
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta is gonna score. Um, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to stop anyone. Uh. They we've seen that
Speaker 1: their defense is terror ball and Matt Ryan playing in
Speaker 1: the Dome is always dangerous. I think they're gonna score
Speaker 1: and and the Colts look, they want to run the ball,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be to the point where they're gonna
Speaker 1: be down and they're going to have to start throwing
Speaker 1: the ball and I think Name Hines he had a
Speaker 1: bigger workshare than He wasn't as productive as Jordan Wilkins
Speaker 1: last week, but he did have more snaps and more carries.
Speaker 1: Uh So, I think Name Hines is probably the guy
Speaker 1: to get. Even if Wilkins is the first down, second
Speaker 1: down guy, I would still go with Hines because I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a high scoring game and
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a ton of receptions. Obviously, Hines looked
Speaker 1: better last year. Wilkins not so much for me, but
Speaker 1: you know him. Hines so far through the first two
Speaker 1: games has not exceeded more than seven percent of the snaps. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Wilkins hasn't worked much in either as well, because he's
Speaker 1: a similar player to Marlon mack But it's worth mentioning
Speaker 1: greg that the first two weeks Marlon max sent of
Speaker 1: the snaps in sixty percent of the snaps, So I
Speaker 1: do think if he were out, Jordan Wilkins slots into that.
Speaker 1: Marlon mac Roll probably doesn't play as many snaps. He's
Speaker 1: probably like the fifties sixty percent range, but you think
Speaker 1: he would be the guy on early downs and if
Speaker 1: they get inside the red zone, that would be Jordan
Speaker 1: Wilkins's role, not Nihim hind So I'm very interested right now,
Speaker 1: I really honestly don't know if Marlon Mack is gonna play.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good right now. Yeah, there's no indications
Speaker 1: that he's going to So I didn't practice yesterday, didn't
Speaker 1: practice today. He's in a walking boot too. I mean,
Speaker 1: we only have a couple more days for this guy
Speaker 1: to get ready. If he is not out of a
Speaker 1: walking boot by tomorrow, or at least practicing on a
Speaker 1: limited basis, I would assume that he's probably out. Greg.
Speaker 1: Let me throw this one at you. E y still
Speaker 1: in that a f C South heky hut he out
Speaker 1: there in many places. He's obviously continuing to get healthier.
Speaker 1: They didn't didn't play in week one to matchic because
Speaker 1: in Jackson Week two, kikiS this week's in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers. What do you think there is
Speaker 1: a guy I was massively high on. I would say
Speaker 1: that I bet you I have him on eight percent
Speaker 1: of my teams. So that's been a bit of a disappointment.
Speaker 1: Where I can hold onto him. I'm holding onto him
Speaker 1: just because athletically such a talented player. I understand that
Speaker 1: he is the guy in the slaw. They got Kenny
Speaker 1: Stills there now to plus Duke Johnson, that was gonna
Speaker 1: probably cut into his workload. But the reality is is
Speaker 1: he's not just a slot guy. This guy has blazing,
Speaker 1: blazing speed which he's never really needed to use because
Speaker 1: they have Hopkins and Fuller, which is also you know,
Speaker 1: to to downfield guys. So Kiki Cutie was just kind
Speaker 1: of using the slot because that was the leftover position.
Speaker 1: Having Kenny Stills and Duke Johnson there is obviously limiting
Speaker 1: his his volume. So to me, I would leave him
Speaker 1: on the way every wire until we see it. Well,
Speaker 1: let me throw this at you, Frank, I was gonna
Speaker 1: move on for Ke unless you wanted to chime in. No,
Speaker 1: I just kind of wanted to correlate it to Duke Johnson,
Speaker 1: who I do really like this week going up against
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. They allowed a huge performance to
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack in week one and they allowed a receiving
Speaker 1: touchdown to carry On Johnson in week two. So I
Speaker 1: actually think a higher scoring game here between the Texans
Speaker 1: and Chargers. I think we get a little bit of
Speaker 1: back and forth. I think Duke Johnson bounces back this week,
Speaker 1: and there's really been a correlation so far between Duke
Speaker 1: Johnson and um kiki QT being on the fields. Absolutely
Speaker 1: only one game though, so yeah, well we'll see. I
Speaker 1: mentioned Marlon Max injury not the only running back injury
Speaker 1: that's taking place, because Josh Jacobs, we kind of alluded
Speaker 1: to it before the break taking center stage here as
Speaker 1: he misses another practice or expects to miss another practice.
Speaker 1: He's been sick, he's got a growing injury. These aren't
Speaker 1: exactly looking up for the Raiders Ricky running back either,
Speaker 1: And if you look at your waiver wire left over
Speaker 1: is still Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington rank are you
Speaker 1: messing either of these two running backs? I'm much more
Speaker 1: interested in Jordan Wilkins right now because you know, not
Speaker 1: only is this a tough matchup going up against the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, I think the Raiders are playing from behind
Speaker 1: for a large majority of this game. I think they're
Speaker 1: getting nine and a half points on the road here,
Speaker 1: so uh, it's not expected to be exactly close. And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, we probably see a lot of
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard on the field. I think one of the again.
Speaker 1: I'll go back to this word against. The kind of
Speaker 1: the theme of the of today's show. Uh fallacies so
Speaker 1: far early on in the season is that we look
Speaker 1: at Josh Jacobs as a workhorse three down back. It's
Speaker 1: not necessarily true, because we saw last week when they
Speaker 1: were trailing big time against the Kansas City Chiefs. He's
Speaker 1: not in there when they're playing from behind. He's not
Speaker 1: good in past protection. Yet he is a rookie running back.
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard is actually someone that they can lean on
Speaker 1: in that role. So in the game that we already
Speaker 1: expect expected the Raiders to be trailing playing from behind,
Speaker 1: and on top of that not a good matchup against
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, I already had Josh Jacobs all the
Speaker 1: way down at as a low end RB two, maybe
Speaker 1: even a high end flex. If he's out, we probably
Speaker 1: see a combination of DeAndre Washington and Jaylen Richard. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be taking away from each other, just in a
Speaker 1: really bad spot. I don't have much interest gig right, No,
Speaker 1: what not? Not much interest in the Raiders? Max? What
Speaker 1: about you? Yeah? For me? I mean, if you're death
Speaker 1: pert and uh, you've got room, maybe pick up her
Speaker 1: chard and watch. Um, I actually got an alert on
Speaker 1: my phone and I couldn't use my face to unlock
Speaker 1: my phone because I was wearing the Sweet helmet. But
Speaker 1: I was that actually happened. It will recognize me if
Speaker 1: I'm wearing sunglasses and a hat, but if I'm wearing
Speaker 1: a cardboard helmet, apparently that that's a no go. So
Speaker 1: but what I just read was Josh Jacobs is practicing today,
Speaker 1: so wow, alright, cool. Yeah, it was just an alert
Speaker 1: that just came in while I was wearing the Sweet helmet,
Speaker 1: and uh, he's practicing today. Actually his phone now to confirm. Yeah, Josh,
Speaker 1: you don't believe I wanted to see the same thing
Speaker 1: as well. Look, he's sick. He said he lost ten
Speaker 1: pounds and he has a hip injury. So I just
Speaker 1: I didn't see how he was gonna get back on
Speaker 1: the practice field. But whatever, I guess. Uh, stranger things
Speaker 1: have happened. Great Show twenty two and Indestructible. That's my
Speaker 1: That's gonna be my my take on it kind of
Speaker 1: makes kind of makes sense. Well, guys, well everyone picked
Speaker 1: up J j R. Thing A Whiteside and Nelson Agailor
Speaker 1: this week. One person I didn't really pick up was
Speaker 1: Mac Collins, and again it's probably more of a DFS
Speaker 1: play than anything else. All these wide receivers are gonna
Speaker 1: be out, like Jeffrey's not returning to week five, Jean
Speaker 1: jacksons that returning to a week five. I don't know
Speaker 1: the stats of Dallas Goddard, but A zach ERTs doesn't
Speaker 1: r J j R. Second Whiteside mccollins. Is there any
Speaker 1: injuriest at all? Guys? I think if you play in
Speaker 1: a deeper league and you're desperate, right like if you
Speaker 1: play in Scott's fish Bowl or something like that, a
Speaker 1: super flex league, you have all these roster spots. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a crazy call. I played of the
Speaker 1: snaps last week. Greg. The problem is he's going to
Speaker 1: play predominantly on the outside for the Philadelphia Eagles and
Speaker 1: they're going up against the Detroit Lions this week, so
Speaker 1: he's gonna see one of Darius Slay or Shawn Melvin.
Speaker 1: And that's actually the strength of the secondary. Where you
Speaker 1: want to attack this team is in the slot. We
Speaker 1: saw on Week one, Larry Fitzgerald scored a touchdown against
Speaker 1: the Lions. We saw on week two, Keenan Allen had
Speaker 1: a big game out of the slot against the Lions
Speaker 1: as well. So I'm with you, Greg. I think Nelson
Speaker 1: Aglare is the guy to own here. I think he
Speaker 1: has a really really big Week two a week three.
Speaker 1: Rather than see or do that happens. To take a
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back with joined my Virginia

Speaker 1: Robbie Williams Millennium leads us in here. He's Eric, He's
Speaker 1: Frank Um, Greg Virginia Zakis is alongside as well. What's
Speaker 1: happened in Virginia? You guys, have it gone? Good to
Speaker 1: be back, great to have you a ton of injuries
Speaker 1: coming out a week two, So let's jump right into it.
Speaker 1: We were talking this week and really just a few
Speaker 1: moments ago about Jordan Wilkins and Nahem Hinds potentially getting
Speaker 1: major run with the Indianapolis Colts behind they're awesome offensive line.
Speaker 1: That's because Marlon Mack has what seems to be a
Speaker 1: strained calf. What can you tell us about Morlan max
Speaker 1: calf and what is uh his expected role this Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so originally it wasn't too concerned about this. Um he
Speaker 1: was listened as a d MP yesterday, but it was
Speaker 1: really just an estimation since they didn't have a real practice. UM,
Speaker 1: but I'm seeing now that he's not practicing today, So
Speaker 1: now I'm officially pretty concerned. UM. Cap strains, even the
Speaker 1: ones that seem pretty mild have a tendency to linger.
Speaker 1: They can get a little better, but it just takes
Speaker 1: a really long time to fully recover from them. UM.
Speaker 1: I still think this one is a relatively mild cap strain.
Speaker 1: We're sharing a Grade one injury. UM, that would mean
Speaker 1: it comes with a two week optimal recovery time. If
Speaker 1: he plays this week, I think he's looking truly questionable. UM,
Speaker 1: he's going to be at a high risk of re injury. UM.
Speaker 1: He was already an elevated injury risk because of his issues.
Speaker 1: Last year he dealt with foot, ankle, and hamstring issues. UM,
Speaker 1: but now high injury risk, very concerned that he's had
Speaker 1: all these lower body injuries. UM, and he really should
Speaker 1: sit out this week. Marlon Mack A legit question mark
Speaker 1: here right. Yeah, And it would be the worst thing
Speaker 1: if he tries to play through it, A because he
Speaker 1: can re injure himself and be that just kind of
Speaker 1: takes everybody out of the equation because you don't want
Speaker 1: to use a less Marlon Mack and then obviously you
Speaker 1: can't use any of the other running backs on the
Speaker 1: team as well. So if he's good to go, sure
Speaker 1: fire him up. But if not, then you know they
Speaker 1: should let him sit out and hopefully use a combination
Speaker 1: of Jordan Wilkins and Nihim Hines Virginia. Someone that Greg
Speaker 1: and I have a ton of exposure to this season
Speaker 1: we're holding very close to our hearts is James Conner.
Speaker 1: So we need an update on James Conner. You said
Speaker 1: earlier in the week on his own radio show that
Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna be good to go. He's dealing
Speaker 1: with some kind of neat issue right now. But it's
Speaker 1: huge news for fantasy because we've seen before when James
Speaker 1: Conner doesn't play, Jalen Samuel's can just step right in
Speaker 1: and basically handle all three downs as a true workhorse
Speaker 1: running back. So we need to know a if James
Speaker 1: Connor is gonna be good to go and if he
Speaker 1: does suit up, is he gonna So it's unclear what
Speaker 1: exactly his issue is. We're actually considering this a Grade
Speaker 1: one knee spring. Good news is m R. I should
Speaker 1: no tears, UM, nothing significant. Now, that doesn't mean there's
Speaker 1: not still an injury here that we need to watch
Speaker 1: pretty closely. But he's looking He's an elevated injury risk
Speaker 1: right now, so not high risk. That's good. His health
Speaker 1: performance factor is below average, so if he plays, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna be He's not going to be the same
Speaker 1: James Connor. Um, you know when he's fully healthy. But
Speaker 1: I think he's got a decent shot at suiting up. UM.
Speaker 1: Hoping he can get in at least a limited practice
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow really tests me out, and hopefully he's
Speaker 1: okay this weekend. If he makes it through week three
Speaker 1: without a setback, our algorithm is saying he'll be good
Speaker 1: to go by week four. All Right, James Connor's gonna
Speaker 1: be careful so we can get back to being the
Speaker 1: old James Conner that we need to see. You gotta
Speaker 1: be leave and you will throw to you on this
Speaker 1: because when all these quarterbacks get injured, you've always said, hey,
Speaker 1: I think the running back is gonna step up because
Speaker 1: I don't have to rely on him. You mentioned Latavius Murray.
Speaker 1: It's got to be the same for James Connor. In
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh too, right, Yeah, I mean, look, James Connor is
Speaker 1: a guy that I was off of, I mean all year.
Speaker 1: I just I just felt that the Pittsburgh Steelers, you
Speaker 1: lose Levian Bell, you lose an Tonio Brown, like you're
Speaker 1: not going to be the same team. There's just no
Speaker 1: if ands or butts about it. I think ju Ju
Speaker 1: Smith is a good receiver, but we're gonna find out
Speaker 1: how good he is. Um now, Roethlisberger being down rookie quarterback,
Speaker 1: you know, and in his first kind of starting role.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna find out what James Conners
Speaker 1: made of and him being banged up is not going
Speaker 1: to help the cause. All right, James Conner, we'll see
Speaker 1: if he's ready to rock later in this weekend, as
Speaker 1: he says he will be. Another player that we expect
Speaker 1: to play this weekend is Lashawn McCoy. His he's got
Speaker 1: an ankle injury. Damian Williams. It looks like he's going
Speaker 1: on with the knee or something along loose lines. How
Speaker 1: do you see the Kansas Stevie backfield shaking out his weekend?
Speaker 1: So McCoy did not practice yesterday. Um, we haven't gotten
Speaker 1: word yet on what his practice participation is today. But
Speaker 1: he's a veteran, he's often playing through injuries. He always is,
Speaker 1: you know, seems to be pretty banged up. Um. I
Speaker 1: was going through his injury list before this, and he's
Speaker 1: had just about every injury out there, growing, ankle, thumb, hamstring, me,
Speaker 1: He's had it all, um, But he's one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to practice much this week
Speaker 1: in order to play, So I think he's got a
Speaker 1: decent shot at suiting up now. He was already a
Speaker 1: high injury risk even before this ankle injury. Now it's
Speaker 1: very high. He's up above that mark right now, which
Speaker 1: is incredibly concerning. His health performance factor is also just
Speaker 1: slipped into the poor category. So I think his ankle
Speaker 1: is going to affect him if he does play. Um,
Speaker 1: it's going to affect lateral movements, his speed, his power,
Speaker 1: every part of his game. So I think he could play,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty concerned about him over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: And we mentioned Darwin Thompson yesterday on the show Greg
Speaker 1: as one of the most added UH players right now.
Speaker 1: Sneaky add because look, if one of these guys can't
Speaker 1: go Darwin Thompson gets a chance to show his ability,
Speaker 1: then who knows, maybe he uh while he pipps someone here, Greg,
Speaker 1: So pay attention to Darwin Thompson. Definitely, if he's available,
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to add him. You just want as
Speaker 1: much exposure of this Chief's offense as you can possibly get. Virginia,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about a pair of teammates
Speaker 1: as well, this time from the NFC, in the form
Speaker 1: of DeShawn Jackson and al Shan Jeffrey. I was fading
Speaker 1: alshon Jeffrey coming into the year, just because there were
Speaker 1: a ton of targets already on this team, But now
Speaker 1: they're dropping like flies. No, al Shan he's dealing with
Speaker 1: a calf, Sean Jackson dealing with a groin, and we
Speaker 1: know how much that can mean to someone who relies
Speaker 1: on his speed in order to make a difference for
Speaker 1: fantasy football. So between these two players, which one is
Speaker 1: worse off right now? And do we expect any of
Speaker 1: them this week? It feels like they've already kind of
Speaker 1: been ruled out for this week. Yeah. I don't think
Speaker 1: either we're gonna play this week. Based on a few comments,
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're a little more concerned about de
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson long term, but I'm concerned about both of them. Um,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey does. He's dealing with a calf strain. He has
Speaker 1: previously suffered a calf strain and also has a history
Speaker 1: of hamstring strains, so we know these lower body muscular
Speaker 1: strains tend to be recurrent injuries. Once you suffer one,
Speaker 1: you're already much higher risk of suffering another. So right
Speaker 1: now we're showing a roughly three week optimal recovery time
Speaker 1: for Jeffrey that this is a mild cash strain. If
Speaker 1: this is a more moderate strain, that jumps up to
Speaker 1: five weeks to fully heal. Um for Jackson, his is
Speaker 1: a growing issue. They've already said he's likely to miss
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. UM there week before game is
Speaker 1: Thursday night, so a quick turnaround, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: another guy that has a history of soft tissue injuries.
Speaker 1: He's had hamstring, ankle and growing issues over the last
Speaker 1: few years. So we're actually showing a Grade two strain
Speaker 1: and a four week opt more recovery time for him.
Speaker 1: So no surprise, he's a very high injury risk. Poor
Speaker 1: health performance factor right now. Shout out to you, Gregy.
Speaker 1: You were all over Nelson Aglare on the waiver Wire
Speaker 1: episode the other day, we spoke about j j R.
Speaker 1: Sega Whiteside another sneaky add if he's still available. We
Speaker 1: just did the leftover segment. That's someone to pay attention to.
Speaker 1: As you heard from Virginia, I mean, these are injuries
Speaker 1: that can easily be reaggravated and next thing you know,
Speaker 1: these guys are out four to five weeks. They're also
Speaker 1: older players as well. Or Sega Whiteside really really talented player.
Speaker 1: The Eagles were talking him up throughout preseason. He looked
Speaker 1: really good in the preseason as well. So if Nelson
Speaker 1: Agil or j J or SAKEA Whiteside, we're still sitting
Speaker 1: out there on the waiver wire, make sure you scoop
Speaker 1: these guys up. Absolutely, Both Eagles wide receivers out for
Speaker 1: the significant period of time. We're talking to Virginia ncause
Speaker 1: all of inside injuries, to make sure you follow them
Speaker 1: at inside injuries. Let's get into the quarterbacks now. That's
Speaker 1: how how he let off the waivers show earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Let's get into them now with you here, Virginia well,
Speaker 1: it's Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees out significant periods of time.
Speaker 1: Breeze had thumb surgery yesterday. Roethlisberger looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to have surgery on his elbow. What can you tell
Speaker 1: us about both these quarterbacks and the potential recovery. So,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees had surgery for a torn ligament in his
Speaker 1: right thumb. Sounds like this is probably a U C
Speaker 1: L tear. Um. Now there's a U c L on
Speaker 1: the elbow and a U c ALL on the thumb,
Speaker 1: different ligaments. Um. Right now, they're saying he could return
Speaker 1: in around six weeks, and they said surgery went very well.
Speaker 1: It's realistically going to take him closer to eight to
Speaker 1: ten weeks to recover from this. UM Priest has missed
Speaker 1: very few games throughout his career, of course, but I
Speaker 1: think three games since two thousand fifteen, which is very
Speaker 1: impressive considering his age. But this one is really they
Speaker 1: should play some on IR. They haven't yet, They haven't
Speaker 1: said they're going to, but that would be the best
Speaker 1: decision for them. UM, you know, try to hang on
Speaker 1: over the next eight weeks and then hope he comes
Speaker 1: back fully healthy. If he does return in six weeks,
Speaker 1: his thumb is not going to be fully healthy. Um,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be at a pretty high risk
Speaker 1: of either rendering or thumb his thumb or suffering another injury. UM.
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, his season is, he's on i R. Season
Speaker 1: is over. He's gonna undergo elbow surgery. Originally we thought
Speaker 1: it was a torn U c L, which would mean
Speaker 1: he would need Tommy John surgery, which is what we
Speaker 1: see a lot of pictures undergo. But they've said this
Speaker 1: is not going to be Tommy John surgery, So it
Speaker 1: could be a few different things. But based on you know,
Speaker 1: him shaking out his arm and the way he was
Speaker 1: kind of grabbing his elbow, it looked like there might
Speaker 1: be damage to the ulnar nerve, which can lead to
Speaker 1: some tingling or numbless numbness in the finger. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: season should be over. Hopefully he's good to go and
Speaker 1: around start throwing again and around five to six months.
Speaker 1: But if there was ligament damage, he is going to
Speaker 1: be pushing it to be a percent by the start
Speaker 1: of next season. We've heard a few people talk about
Speaker 1: Drew Brees potentially returning for that week ten Greggy right
Speaker 1: after their Week nine by I understand they have a
Speaker 1: tough schedule and they have Super Bowl aspirations, but they
Speaker 1: cannot rush him back because he's just gonna end up,
Speaker 1: you know, re injuring this thumb injury, so they need
Speaker 1: him to be one healthy. Do not rush him back
Speaker 1: for the sake of Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas and
Speaker 1: honestly the rest of their season. Do not rush Drew
Speaker 1: Brees back. I want to ask you about one more
Speaker 1: QB injury, Virginia. That is Cam Newton. It's really sad
Speaker 1: to watch too, because one of the most fun players
Speaker 1: to watch in the NFL and for fantasy, but it
Speaker 1: seems like both his shoulder and his foot have been,
Speaker 1: you know, honestly affecting his ability to play and perform
Speaker 1: on the field so far this season. What do you
Speaker 1: guys have on Cam Newton? When can we expect him
Speaker 1: to be Yeah, he's still on. We've been warning everyone
Speaker 1: about since early in the preseason. We knew he was
Speaker 1: not going to be a percent um. His shoulder didn't
Speaker 1: look quite right, which again is not surprising because it
Speaker 1: hasn't been that long since he had his second shoulder surgery. Um.
Speaker 1: Then of course he hurt his foot in the preseason.
Speaker 1: He took I think less than two weeks off, which
Speaker 1: just is not enough time for a midfoot spring, especially
Speaker 1: for a mobile quarterback like Cam. So I think these
Speaker 1: things are actually really hurting each other. I think the
Speaker 1: fact that he's his foot isn't healthy is maybe throwing
Speaker 1: off his throwing motion, which can put more stress on
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Um. You know, if he's trying to protect
Speaker 1: his shoulder, maybe it's hurting his lower body more because
Speaker 1: of his movements. Um, it's just a really bad situation
Speaker 1: all around. So really, we think he needs to take
Speaker 1: a minimum of four weeks off, get that shoulder right,
Speaker 1: get his foot fully healthy, and then maybe he'll be
Speaker 1: healthy around you know, week six, weeks seven, and should
Speaker 1: be okay the rest of the season. Ham Newton needs
Speaker 1: some more time off. I take he's probable. I did it.
Speaker 1: He's robable, she's Reginia is not because he's not injuries. Virginia.

Speaker 1: we went to the Ostra Doll. But I was like
Speaker 1: this the bad News Bear story. I told the guy
Speaker 1: just as he looked at my crew is coming in here.

Speaker 1: welcome preferred picks with any of our team prefer picks.

Speaker 1: T S Y radio and on Sumo TV JAM seven
Speaker 1: nineteen You why did I know this? A new tattoo
Speaker 1: on your hand? Is that? Is that? Well? What we
Speaker 1: got there? Its compass, uh me and my wife. It
Speaker 1: was her birthday. We both got compasses. Travel is our thing. Um,
Speaker 1: so we got like I mean, not matching prses on
Speaker 1: her shoulder and it's pretty and amazing. But my guy,
Speaker 1: my guy killed it for sure. Awesome. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I just saw him like checking the time. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't recognize that. Look at Greggy with the attention
Speaker 1: to detail. And this is why. That's why I'm here, man,
Speaker 1: this is why I here. Uh so, you got a
Speaker 1: whole another arm to do though, huh arm done. I
Speaker 1: will half of my left arm left. But I think
Speaker 1: I'm good for a while for a while, because this
Speaker 1: is what happens when I have time on my hands.
Speaker 1: I just start covering my entire body with that toos
Speaker 1: use arm. He had some time like last summer. It
Speaker 1: is back. It was like, oh my god, you don't
Speaker 1: have time on your hands. Yeah, you have a compass
Speaker 1: on your hands and I'm not even a dead That
Speaker 1: was fantastic, Frank. Maybe it's a sun dial man, I've
Speaker 1: done to you. I honestly thought while I was saying
Speaker 1: it that it was gonna be one of those things
Speaker 1: where you just scold me for how bad of a joke.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, Come on, come on?
Speaker 1: Or then he left her as you want to mention
Speaker 1: before we move on and buy herself. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: did want to mention Ty Johnson. We were talking about
Speaker 1: him during the break and you mentioned him to me
Speaker 1: as well that you know, everyone in your leagues was
Speaker 1: picking up Ty Johnson because he is now the handcuff
Speaker 1: or at least what we expect to be behind carry
Speaker 1: On Johnson. They cut C. J. Anderson. Believe they picked
Speaker 1: up your boy Paul Perkins, how great from the New
Speaker 1: York Giants, so it looks like he'll be the third
Speaker 1: string running back for the Detroit Lions. But Ty Johnson
Speaker 1: a rookie out of your Maryland Terrapins, Greg and a
Speaker 1: very fast rookie at that. So if anything were to
Speaker 1: happen to carry On Johnson, it seems like Thi Johnson
Speaker 1: is the next man up. And either way, harry On
Speaker 1: Johnson this year is playing right around fifty five percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps. They're still going to get Ti Johnson
Speaker 1: involved as well. So just someone to pay attention to
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues, or if you don't carry On Johnson
Speaker 1: and want his handcuff, it's Thi Johnson. Thi Johnson from
Speaker 1: the University of Maryland. People kind of high on him
Speaker 1: coming into the league. Just even how fast he is.
Speaker 1: When is the last time we've had a Maryland running
Speaker 1: back in the NFL? Greig, They're usually known for wide
Speaker 1: receivers we've had in the past. Mont Jordan of the
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, were the Giants had Darrell Scott on their team.
Speaker 1: Sounds familiar. Name, sounds familiar? Right? You know who plays
Speaker 1: from Maryland? Now? Who good? Probably been the league at
Speaker 1: some point that Booker McFarland's kid, Anthony McFarland. What position
Speaker 1: does running back? He's good? I think so. Who is
Speaker 1: the best offensive player in Maryland right now? Does there
Speaker 1: have any stud wide receivers? They don't have the next
Speaker 1: DJ More? Yeah, way, let's play a little by or
Speaker 1: Sell not necessarily involving uh, the University of Maryland. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the University Maryland here because I
Speaker 1: want to start buy yoursell DJ Moore because we talked
Speaker 1: about we downstairs, we were talking about d J Moore
Speaker 1: and starting him this week, and I think the same
Speaker 1: conversation can be had for his teammate Curtis Samuel. You
Speaker 1: just heard from Virginia zackets Cam Newton is not gonna
Speaker 1: play this week and he needs to rest if they
Speaker 1: rush him back in two weeks, it could be the same.
Speaker 1: I don't know when Caroline is bias, but he needs
Speaker 1: to get healthy. He's not right now this week, Eric Young,
Speaker 1: are you buying or selling both Curtis Samuel and Dj Moore.
Speaker 1: I think I would probably hold on to him. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm I'm keeping him if I have him,
Speaker 1: because we don't know what the quarterback situation is going
Speaker 1: to be. I think it's pretty obvious at this point
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton is gonna miss time, which is probably
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna probably be a pretty bold statement.
Speaker 1: Is probably a good thing for both of them, because
Speaker 1: he has looked absolutely terrible as a pastor as the
Speaker 1: balls are flying. I mean, he was never accurate to
Speaker 1: begin with, but he's on another level of of uh
Speaker 1: bad accuracy. So we'll see what whatever Alan could be.
Speaker 1: I know that careers there, but he's not gonna play.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Alan. Uh. I Cam can't go, and
Speaker 1: I think at this point they're better just to let
Speaker 1: Cam rest, heal him up, get him back too it
Speaker 1: was close to a percent as possible, and then bring
Speaker 1: him back and see what he can do. Because right
Speaker 1: now he's rotten. Yeah, I agree with e Y. We're
Speaker 1: gonna expand this to three options by set or hold.
Speaker 1: I think you hold both of these guys right now.
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen played in week seventeen. He targeted DJ More
Speaker 1: eight times. More went four for eighty one in that game.
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel four targets but called a bomb to seventy
Speaker 1: one and one had a long touchdown in that game.
Speaker 1: So I really want to see how Kyle Allen plays
Speaker 1: this week. Who he's targeting most, You know who he
Speaker 1: favors when he's on the field. Uh. And then you know,
Speaker 1: if if it turns out d J. Moore has a
Speaker 1: big game, maybe you try and sell then. But ultimate
Speaker 1: at lead, Like U I said, this might actually turn
Speaker 1: out to be better for the Panthers pass catchers. So
Speaker 1: I kind of want to take away and see approach
Speaker 1: and see what happens in week three with Kyle Allen
Speaker 1: throwing to the Panthers wide receivers. I will wait and
Speaker 1: see there. And this week New York Giants face off
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A lot of people are calling
Speaker 1: this a get right game for Mike Evans. Mike Evans
Speaker 1: probably be chased all game, I'd say by Genora's Jenkins,
Speaker 1: who hasn't been great obviously, but DeAndre Baker, who's on
Speaker 1: the other side of Genora's Jenkins, has been the worst
Speaker 1: quarterback in all of football. He's a perfect passler raining
Speaker 1: against him because Godwin couldn't be lining up against DeAndre Baker,
Speaker 1: oh my god, either way, whether he's lined up against
Speaker 1: Baker or lined up in the slot, and those are
Speaker 1: two huge, you know, uh positions you want to be
Speaker 1: in as a wide receiver going up against this New
Speaker 1: York Giants team, and even Genera's Jenkins, like he's made
Speaker 1: some plays, but he's not the player that he once was.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if Bruce arians is this
Speaker 1: offensive guru slash genius that everyone thinks that he is,
Speaker 1: he should find ways to scheme Mike Evans all over
Speaker 1: the field so that he doesn't see Genara Jenkins, so
Speaker 1: that they can maximize Mike evans talent this in in
Speaker 1: this upcoming week against this Giants defense. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you can still buy Mike Evans, I'm currently trying
Speaker 1: to do it in a few leagues as well. For example,
Speaker 1: I think the offer right throughout there was Stefon Diggs
Speaker 1: and Josh Gordon be giving up a two for one
Speaker 1: to get Mike Evans, and I understand most of the
Speaker 1: time people don't want to be on the receiving end
Speaker 1: of a two for one, but you know what, if
Speaker 1: people lose wide receivers, they need some death. I didn't
Speaker 1: think that it was a terrible offer, So that's currently
Speaker 1: something that I'm trying to do. If you can buy
Speaker 1: low on Mike Evans, that's something I absolutely would be
Speaker 1: doing ahead of this matchup against the Giants. Craig Mike
Speaker 1: Evans obviously somebody that you want to buy and use
Speaker 1: that comment. You know, while we're talking about Stefon Diggs, Greg,
Speaker 1: we just got to get that out there because we
Speaker 1: own Stephen Diggs in a few leagues and I've been
Speaker 1: trying to float him out there, and it seems like
Speaker 1: most people feel similar to how I do, which is
Speaker 1: you don't know how to feel when it comes to
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs because in Week one, that is the game
Speaker 1: plan that Mike Zimmer wants every single week. They want
Speaker 1: play defense and they want to run the football. That
Speaker 1: is not going to be conducive to Kirk cousins, Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling or Stefen Diggs in this offense. And then in
Speaker 1: week two, guess what they threw the ball thirty two times?
Speaker 1: How many receptions this Stefen Diggs had one and luckily
Speaker 1: it went for a touchdown, so one got called back
Speaker 1: and that was a ridiculous play. We talked about that
Speaker 1: the other day, the you know, challenging offensive pass interference,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. But this week where their favored
Speaker 1: by nine and a half points against the Oakland Raiders,
Speaker 1: how much are they going to need to throw the
Speaker 1: ball against Stefon Diggs. I am you know, unless I
Speaker 1: can make that Mike Evans trade workout, I'm gonna hold
Speaker 1: onto Stefon Diggs for one more week. If it does
Speaker 1: not happen against this Raiders secondary, which he should be
Speaker 1: able to dominate, then that's it. I'm going to look
Speaker 1: to sell the name of Stefon Diggs. And you know,
Speaker 1: I threw these names out to you, Greg and you
Speaker 1: were like, you know what, that's a really good question.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying to buy those Cardinals wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and buy fits are gonna dry and
Speaker 1: buy Christian Kirk, I'm gonna try and buy Emmanuel Sanders,
Speaker 1: And I know some people might consider that selling low
Speaker 1: on Stefon Diggs. Ultimately, I don't think that it's going
Speaker 1: to be selling low on Diggs. E Y. I saw
Speaker 1: you shaking your head a few times when we're talking
Speaker 1: about Stefon Diggs. You know, if you own him anywhere,
Speaker 1: you're trying to pull off something similar right now? Are
Speaker 1: you just trying to sell him based off of his
Speaker 1: name value? Yeah, Luckily, I don't think I owned feeling
Speaker 1: or him anywhere. I think the writing was on the wall,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like it was a small sample. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like one or two games at the end of
Speaker 1: the year where they were like just trying something for
Speaker 1: you know, the last like five or six games of
Speaker 1: the year, they barely threw the ball. Joe Flacco through
Speaker 1: the ball more times than Kirk Cousins has last game
Speaker 1: for I mean, I I don't understand we're only in
Speaker 1: going into week three here, but two games Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: threw it more last game than than uh Cousins has
Speaker 1: thrown it all year. So I mean they're just not
Speaker 1: asking him to throw it, which is is kind of
Speaker 1: baffling to me. You pay a quarterback all that money
Speaker 1: and he throws the ball ten twimes. They did throw
Speaker 1: it thirty two times last game, but I don't think
Speaker 1: they'll have both ever throw it more than that, especially
Speaker 1: if Dalvin continues on like he is. For me, I
Speaker 1: would you know, because of where you drafted Feeling and Diggs,
Speaker 1: you gotta hold onto him to see what happens. But
Speaker 1: after that, I like the idea, like you said, of
Speaker 1: going after those Arizona wide receivers. Look, the Arizona's defense
Speaker 1: can't stop a nosebleed. They're going to throw the ball
Speaker 1: all over the place all these guys. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a dart throw every week. But having chairs in them,
Speaker 1: uh could be uh in a flexibishops and could could
Speaker 1: pan out. And I think that the offenses is going
Speaker 1: to get better and better as the year goes e y,
Speaker 1: if you're a Dig's owner right now today, would you
Speaker 1: offer digs for Fitzgerald or Emmanuel Sanders right now? Is
Speaker 1: that something you would do in a heartbeat and a heartbeat?
Speaker 1: What about you, Greg, because you're you're on a similar side,
Speaker 1: you're a Dig's owner. I know I've proposed the Gordon
Speaker 1: and Digs trade for Mike Evans. I've been trying desperate
Speaker 1: the Emmanuel Sanders the Fitzgerald thing, like I know, fits
Speaker 1: is old, so it seems risky, but there's just so
Speaker 1: much volume there. They're gonna throw the ball so much.
Speaker 1: Would you do Digs for Kirk? It's something I thought
Speaker 1: about it at That's maybe where you draw the line.
Speaker 1: But who's to say, like, maybe Christian Kirk and Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: are you know, similar value every single week. They both
Speaker 1: went over a hundred receiving yards last week, and they're
Speaker 1: throwing the ball a ton. You know, Kyler Murray through
Speaker 1: the first two weeks has the most passing attempts in
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's stowing the ball fifty four times. He's
Speaker 1: stowing the ball forty times each of the past two games.
Speaker 1: So I want shares of that Cardinals offense, specifically the past.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. You've been saying that
Speaker 1: actually really since the summer, and I was like, let's
Speaker 1: pull back a little bit because an offensive line. In
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, he's throwing in enough that makes
Speaker 1: it very, very Worthald. Is it something you do do
Speaker 1: you sell digs. Right, do you send the offer digs
Speaker 1: for Fitzgerald one for one? Yes? What about for Sanders? Yes? Right,
Speaker 1: I know what I'll be doing after the show. I
Speaker 1: hope the people aren't listening, so I want more than that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's move on here and
Speaker 1: let me get to a colinated I'm gonna move around.
Speaker 1: I know only like four or so uh minutes remaining here,
Speaker 1: so let me get to let me get to this
Speaker 1: A B and Josh Gordon situation. We pointed this out
Speaker 1: on Monday, how nervous I was about Josh Gordon. You.
Speaker 1: I would throw it to you because you weren't with
Speaker 1: us on Monday. You had another job that you have
Speaker 1: to do or something. But Antonio Brown team obviously didn't
Speaker 1: play a huge amount of snaps, but when he was
Speaker 1: on the field, he was targeted heavily those snaps. As
Speaker 1: long as Antonio Brown's head can stay on straight, He's
Speaker 1: going to only increase his usual is just only going
Speaker 1: to increase. Josh Gordon's probably gonna go the other way.
Speaker 1: He played a almost fifty snaps I believe on Sunday
Speaker 1: and did not do a whole lot with him. How
Speaker 1: concerned are you with Josh Gordon? And this comes back
Speaker 1: to the stuff that I was saying in the preseason
Speaker 1: about the New England Patriots, Like, look, Josh Gordon at
Speaker 1: the time when we were talking about it, wasn't on
Speaker 1: the team and Antonio Brown was was an Oakland Raider.
Speaker 1: So I mean, but it's a completely different team now
Speaker 1: and now it's even more muddled. I mean, the reality
Speaker 1: is is everyone in this whole off season was telling me, how, oh, no,
Speaker 1: you can trust that Sony Michelle is going to be
Speaker 1: the guy. New England's a running team. Now they're good.
Speaker 1: They did that one year because that was how they won.
Speaker 1: Like that, This is what Bill Belichick does. He's going
Speaker 1: to do what his personnel dictates and whatever it takes
Speaker 1: to win football games. If you have Antnio Brown and
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman all in the field, do
Speaker 1: you throw the ball? I know, I understand showing Michelle
Speaker 1: had a good game last week, but that's his first
Speaker 1: one of the season where he was drafted. He has
Speaker 1: not returned. And value Birkehead is going to be part
Speaker 1: of this offense. James White, we know a h percent
Speaker 1: is going to be part of this offense. But I
Speaker 1: mean it's a dart throw every week. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be frustrating the whole way through.
Speaker 1: And this is why I never want to own New
Speaker 1: England Patriots. E Wise, absolutely right. We were talking about
Speaker 1: this downstairs as well. And on a given week, you
Speaker 1: know how many touchdowns would you project for a team's offense,
Speaker 1: three maybe four even for the best offensive in the NFL.
Speaker 1: And you know, if Sony Michelle goes out there and
Speaker 1: scores two of the those touchdowns, then we have five
Speaker 1: or six weapons if you include Rex Burkhead that they're
Speaker 1: gonna try and get involved every single week. Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, James White, Sony Michelle, Rex Burkett.
Speaker 1: That's six right there that they're going to use. Good
Speaker 1: luck predicting on a weekly basis who they're going to use.
Speaker 1: Because NFL defensive coordinators cannot even figure out who the
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to use on a weekly basis, You
Speaker 1: think fantasy analysts are gonna be able to figure out
Speaker 1: who they're going to use on a weekly basis. I
Speaker 1: understand that that's our job, but that's a pretty daunting
Speaker 1: task for anybody involved. You know, honestly, if I own
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, I'm sticking by what I said Greg. I'm
Speaker 1: probably holding onto him because I think he has the
Speaker 1: highest upside of anybody in this offense. But I think
Speaker 1: anybody else here that we're talking about fair game if
Speaker 1: you get good value in return. Next week I want
Speaker 1: to have the Austin Ekeler conversation what we do with him,
Speaker 1: with Melvin Gore, and looming over potentially with Nick Chub
Speaker 1: as well. He's Eric Young, He's Frank Stable. I am
Speaker 1: Greg Susman. Tomorrow, three of us be back to preview

Speaker 1: a black See website for details. What did happen? Here's
Speaker 1: what you miss on the BFS. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: love football Tennessee Titans or my team. Their defense has
Speaker 1: looked great. I can cheer for defensive football just the
Speaker 1: same as I can cheer for offensive football. As far
Speaker 1: as fantasy goes, there's not gonna be a lot going on.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Derrick Henry and that's about it. Delandy
Speaker 1: Walker at tight end, and uh, that's probably the end
Speaker 1: of the list. Maybe Leonard for net catching, some some
Speaker 1: checkdown passes from the Secret Garden, and perhaps a long
Speaker 1: bomb to DJ Shark, But other than that, that's about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not starting any Titans wide receivers, although it hurts
Speaker 1: my heart to say that. Yeah, it's just gonna be
Speaker 1: another week of Derrick Henry producing top wide or top
Speaker 1: running back numbers and people telling me how he's not
Speaker 1: a top running back. That'll be Fun's Thursday Night football preview.
Speaker 1: Greg Start Derrick Henry, Start Leonard Fournette, start to Lenny Walker.
Speaker 1: Time more time to do other things later. Then start
Speaker 1: both defenses. And you know, you know what I'll actually
Speaker 1: say about the defenses. We've been getting a lot of questions.
Speaker 1: You start the Jaguars, you start the Titans. Here's what
Speaker 1: I'll say. In these lower scoring affairs, defenses are not
Speaker 1: always the best for fantasy in these games because you
Speaker 1: want defenses that are going up against opponents that are
Speaker 1: trailing throwing the ball. You have the ability to get sacks,
Speaker 1: you have ability to get turnovers. Went it's a game
Speaker 1: like this where it's just back in four teams running
Speaker 1: the football, those are actually not the best games to
Speaker 1: start your defenses in. Look at the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: from last week. They're destroying the Miami Dolphins. They have
Speaker 1: to throw the football. They end up getting a bunch
Speaker 1: of sacks end up getting two pick sixes. Those are
Speaker 1: actually the games that you want to start your fantasy
Speaker 1: defenses in. So, yes, there's gonna be a low scoring affair,
Speaker 1: and people who drafted the Jaguars probably still want to
Speaker 1: use their defense tonight. But I'm just saying, just as
Speaker 1: a fantasy fallacy, people like to start defenses in low
Speaker 1: scoring games. It's not necessarily the case here. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a really good point that people just see low scoring games,
Speaker 1: not a lot of points scored. And I realized it
Speaker 1: more so than ever this year, and I'm like looking
Speaker 1: at my defense, but I don't understand the bill is
Speaker 1: a lot of nothing. The Giants, why didn't they get
Speaker 1: a lot of points? And they're just like, well a
Speaker 1: lot of fourteen points. They're always sacked them once. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they had a couple of turnovers. Are just good,
Speaker 1: but it's just not enough. The team that you're facing
Speaker 1: under a certain points totally they need more. They need
Speaker 1: those pick sixes. Yeah, you need interceptions. And the only
Speaker 1: way that's gonna happen is if a team is dropping
Speaker 1: back there throwing the ball. That's how you get sacks
Speaker 1: as well. If you remember last year. It was the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Rams on Monday Night football. It was a shootout.
Speaker 1: It was an awesome game. I believe it was either
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or Rams defense in that game was the
Speaker 1: top scoring defense that we could. They had a bunch
Speaker 1: of sacks, they had a bunch of pick six and
Speaker 1: it was crazy. But it was a back and forth affair,
Speaker 1: and normally you'd say, oh, well, this game has a
Speaker 1: fifty seven point total. I don't want to start my
Speaker 1: defense in this. And I understand that logic, right like,
Speaker 1: but ultimately, I think that's kind of a fallacy that
Speaker 1: we've we've kind of fallen into when we start fantasy defenses.
Speaker 1: We just automatically look at, oh, well, let's get a
Speaker 1: lower scoring game. They're not gonna give up points. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: you want a defense that's going to be playing against
Speaker 1: a team that's trailing, and a team with a bad
Speaker 1: offensive line obviously helps where you can get sacks and
Speaker 1: you get turnovers.
