29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Adam Raank here alongside NFL Fantasy analyst Michael Fabiano, and

30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you caught up on all the big

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: news heading in a week. Why you ready? Of course

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Of course you're ready, always ready. Patriots tight

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: end Rob Gronkowski says he'll be ready to play in

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: Week one against the Dolphins. If you listen really close,

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: you can hear the sounds of fantasy enthusiasts breaking, breathing

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: a huge sigh of relief, including you, fabs. So what

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: do we look for from Robin week one? Well, it

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: looks like he could be limited in Week one, but honestly,

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: limited snaps from Rob Gronkowski is better than a full compliment.

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Of snaps from just about every other tight end pretty

41
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So if you drafted Rob

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Gronkowski and he is active for the Patriots, to me Adam,

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: he's got to be active on your fantasy team. You

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: don't want to get too cute exactly, make sure he's

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: on your lotems. Okay, Well, now, if you listen to

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Gronkowski's former teammate, Bronco's wide receiver West Welker, he's also

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: taking steps towards a recovery. NFL media insider Ian rapp

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Report says the white out was placed on the practice

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: field today or actually he walked down on the practice

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: field today. That it's the next step of the progression here.

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: But you know, he's still got a waste to go.

52
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: What do we see from Westwalker coming going forward? Well, honestly,

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: you're sort of looking at him day to day and

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: if West Welker is going to be active this weekend,

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you're likely gonna starting. But there is major risk here

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: because he's had so many concussions over the last twelve

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: months and that that is a big cause for concern.

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I've seen him dropping into the eighth tenth rounds in

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues right now if you still haven't held your draft.

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: So he's a risk hoard player if he's active for

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos. I say he's active for you if you

62
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: start three wide receivers, or maybe you have a flex option.

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: But watch Emmanuel Sanders that Manny Sanders and Cody Lattimore

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: will be talking a little bit more about Cody Lattimore

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: as the show progresses. But right now, the day many

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: have predicted is finally come. The Patriots have traded quarterback

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett to the Houston Texans for a conditional draft choice.

68
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Does Mallett how many fantasy value there in Houston? Not

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: right now, because I think Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Amish rifle,

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: will be the guy there to start Week one. Mallett

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: hasn't had any time at all then the offense to

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: get a report with his wide receivers. And let's be

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: honest at on he'st throwing four passes in the NFL four,

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean four, and more than the two of us.

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pass on him. Dynasty leaguers, there's value

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: here in redrafts right now? Not so much. Okay, Well,

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: let's say this to the trade hands. The esteemed position

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: of backup to Tom Brady to rookie Jimmy Garoppolo from

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: Arlington Heights, Illinois. If Brady were to get hurt, would

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: you ever start Garoppolo? He looked good in the preseason. Yeah,

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: you know what we said, would you ever start Tom

82
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Brady when Drew bledso get hurt? Like, oh man, I

83
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: don't know about that. Tom Brady say, you never say never.

84
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: But the quarterback position was really deep. But we saw

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: Matt Castle did as a back up playing for Tom

86
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Brady a few years ago under Bill Belichick, so I'd

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: never say never. It's a turnkey offense, so Garoppolo could

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: have some some value there and also some notable cuts.

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, we'll take a look at some of

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: the big news that were let go. Vincent Brown, of

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: course showed some promise there in San Diego, but he

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: has been released. N Burlison, Chris Durham, Ben Jarvis green

93
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: ellis the law firm being released kind of signed by

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: the Titans. So Jerry O'Connor are pale from the NFL.

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 1: We'll be happy, very nice Bobby meets him. Arrol Richardson,

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Danny Thomas gone in Miami, I guess that's good news

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: for no Sean Morino. It is that's going to be

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the Miller and Marino show. And who knows, maybe No

99
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Sean pulls No Sean from two thirteen again, I don't know.

100
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: NFL media insider Ian Rappaport confirms the Chiefs have signed

101
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: quarterback Alex Smith to a four year extension. He finished

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: just outside of the top twelve and fantasy points last year.

103
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Would you pick him up as a backup this season?

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: But you go into it knowing that he is one

105
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: of the most inconsistent quarterbacks in fantasy football, So you

106
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: play him maybe as a matchup based starter. If your

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: number one has a buy, don't lean on him. I'm

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: still smart. And because somebody picked him up in Week

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: fifteen in a fantasy league against me, well that's it

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: for us. Let's get more into Week one with Molly

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Knock bar Adam Michael, thank you. I love hearing that.

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Week one. It is here, Molly Caram here with Akbar

113
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Baz Bamila, and we're looking at players who have favorable

114
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: fantasy matchups in Week one. Of course, these are guys

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: that are probably on your bench or on waivers that

116
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: you should consider starting not for let's start with San Francisco.

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: They've their fair share of struggles this preseason. But you

118
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: like Stevie Johnson this week? Well, this is really interesting

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: because when you think about it, they're going up against

120
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and the Dallas Cowboys are absolutely horrific

121
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: on defense, and of course they don't have Scandrick Shawn

122
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: Lee's out, so there's a lot of different looks there.

123
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: But looking up front as well, up front, they do

124
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: not have a pass rusher that's really gonna be able

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: to get after the quarterback. So what does that mean

126
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: for Stevie Johnson. I like Stevie Johnson as a low

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: wind number three or flex type of wide receiver. But

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: here's the things that stand out from to me about

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: uh Stevie Johnson. He's quick off the line, his ability

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: to run that and own that slot position. I believe

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: that's going to give this offense a lot of variety.

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: He said. He feels like he's really getting there in

133
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: terms of chemistry. Also with his new quarterback and Colin Kaepernick. Now,

134
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: we saw Eagles rookie wide receiver Jordan Matthews lighted up

135
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: this preseason. He was probably one of the biggest stories

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: can discontinue into the regular season. Oh absolutely, He's the

137
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: cousin of Jerry Rice. I said it, the cousin of

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. So that I'm going to see this production.

139
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: The reason why this matchup more than anything. You know

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: that Chip Kelly's offense is gonna get off, Macklin is

141
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna get his Lashaw McCoy is gonna get his against

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. So Matthews are gonna be in line

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: to pick up a lot of points, especially towards the

144
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: end of the game as well. There's no better way

145
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: to get a young wide receiver hot on a team

146
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: that's a weaker defense like the Jacksonville Jaguar. He was

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: certainly hot with Vanderbilt. All right. Now, you think the

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Steelers d is gonna shut down Brian Hoyer in that

149
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Josh gordon Less offense. This Steelers team they own the

150
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. There's no doubt a body. If you think

151
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: back to two thousand three, my rookie year, they haven't

152
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: won a game since then, and so you know that

153
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: there's a there's a certain mindset. But this offense, they

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: don't have Josh Gordon. They don't have the creativity of

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: North Turner. And this is a new quarterback, excuse me,

156
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback under a new offensive coordinator. So there's bound

157
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to be a lot of mistakes. So what does this

158
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: mean for the opportunistic Steelers defense? That means you're gonna

159
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: have sacks, pressures on the quarterback, You're gonna get interceptions.

160
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: This is a lot of points. And I don't like

161
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense, But if you're looking for defense and saying, look,

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: this is the bottom end defense, this is a great

163
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: matchup going up against this Cleveland Brown's offense. Yeah, that

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: front seven is going to be pressuring Brian Hoyer, no question.

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: So history certainly on the side of the Steelers defense

166
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: here in this matchup, act Bar. As we can see

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: forty five total pasts and their last fifty four meetings

168
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: one past or less in twelve straight and twenty of

169
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the last one games. Sacks allowed in eight games. That's

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sex somebody to the quarterback. So if

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: you're rotating defenses, I suggest you plug and play the Steelers. Yeah,

172
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: this makes sense. They got a good group back there too.

173
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: All right, uk Bar, thank you so much. When we return,

174
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: we're handcuffing running backs. Find out which backups can be

175
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,000

Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to everybody, guys. Injuries to her

183
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: top running backs can destroy the hopes and dreams of

184
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. That's where we have a little term

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: in the fake game called handcuffs. Guys, give me some

186
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: late round running backs you want to draft to protect

187
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: your first or second round investment. Right, I'll go. I'll

188
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: start in Seattle, and I'll go with Robert Turbine, somebody

189
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: who has kind of come on and taking that over

190
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: that number two spot. We kind of thought it would

191
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: do an in Christian Michael, but Bobby Turbin has gone

192
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: out and played very well, and he's a guy who's

193
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of explosive and somebody who could be

194
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: significant in the Seattle offense. I don't think that they

195
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: can give the ball to Marshawn ls four hundred times

196
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: again this year. They gotta start working in some of

197
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: these other backs. I expect Turbin to be a big

198
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: part of that. I expect Michael to also get in

199
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: the mix. To what you know, these are the guys.

200
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: If you have Marshawn Ltch, you really have to back

201
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: him up with Robert Turban. Turbin and Michael have gotten

202
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: a lot of press. Nile Davis not so much, but

203
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: fact you like him. I do because Jamal Charles is

204
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: coming off of a fantastic season. Neal I would touch

205
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: his last year. So you want to be safe. If

206
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: you're in a twelve team league, maybe even a tight

207
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: team league, your RB five should be Nile Davis. He's

208
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: looked pretty good when he's actually been on the football flue.

209
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: We had him many much because Charles is so dominant.

210
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that if Charles ever goes down,

211
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: he will become the most important way or wire pickup

212
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. All Right, I'm gonna go Ronnie Hillman

213
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: because we know about Payton's effect, not just his wide receivers.

214
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: But his running backs as well. Mike, you've done many

215
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: many articles talking about how good Peyton's running backs are.

216
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: If now no Sean Morino has gone, if Monty Ball

217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: cannot step up and hold onto that starting gig, for me,

218
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman has huge upside, but we're also seeing him

219
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: being taken really really late uh in draft. So for me,

220
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: it's gotta be Ronnie Heilman. Let's talk about the guy

221
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: Alex to call iron Man, James Tony Starks hitting with him. Well, yeah,

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy has become a top five fantasy running back

223
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: in most draft, but you have to back him up

224
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Starks, somebody who's out there who's proven when

225
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: he's given the chance, that he can be an effective player.

226
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: The only thing is, though he's a pure handcuff, he's

227
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: not somebody who ran gears to work in because even

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: though you see him catching the ball here in a

229
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: couple of passes from Aaron Rodgers, they really don't like

230
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: him on third down. And if he was to become

231
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: the starting running back, he would become a two down back.

232
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: He would not be a traditional three down back like

233
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy is. So this guy is a strict handcuff

234
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: about the Grime Dog in Houston. At the grind Dog

235
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: last year Week seven TV, he played extremely well, uh

236
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. And do we even know if

237
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Arian Foster is ready for a week when I don't

238
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: know what's going on. We haven't seen him at all.

239
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: He's coming off the back surgery, he's got the hamstring injuries.

240
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: So Grimes could end up being one of those deep

241
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: sleeper types if you're in the late rounds and you've

242
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: dropped the area fall after you take Crimes. Another name

243
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: to watch though, Alfred Blue, Alfred Blue, Watch out for

244
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Alfred Blue. But right now, Grinds is the guy to

245
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: handcuff Foster with. All right, let's look at some more

246
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: fantasy handcuffs that managers should be targeting late in your drafts.

247
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: How about Jared McKinnon. Right now, he's throwing on a chart,

248
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: But I really like the talent of this kid from

249
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: Georgia's Southern He's a guy that you could handcuff to.

250
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, a guy that may not pay dividends until

251
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe week six, but I do believe he will eventually

252
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: pat past Matt Asiata for that backup role. Well, Adrian

253
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Peterson went down to the game, Asiata would be the

254
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: guy to step in in that game, but I believe

255
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: that McKinnon would be the guy to eventually take the game.

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's not talk about Adrian Peterson getting hurt, all right,

257
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: I don't want something. If he does, it's it's a handcuff.

258
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: That would be a disaster. I know it would be

259
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: for for the real game and for the fake game

260
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: because he's such a star. All Right. When we come back,

261
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: we're answering your fantasy genius questions on who to add

268
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live, presented

269
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: by Bows James co here with Adam Rake and the

270
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Admirable Admiral. A huge number of manager that I shouldn't

271
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: thank you, just something I don't even get a thank you, sir,

272
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. All right. Listen, a lot of managers gonna

273
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: be drafting this week as Thursday's Night's game fast approaches.

274
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: But if you've done zero research research, I'm saying, can

275
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: you hit the people with a little bit of knowledge?

276
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: What tip can you provide? Well? For me, it's simple,

277
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: it's just creating a tier. I always like to draft

278
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: based off of a tier because that really helps me

279
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: to get a good grip of what's going on during

280
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: the draft. So I'll have a ranking for the players.

281
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: For example, I have a running back list, and here

282
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: are my top guys. Here. These are my elite guys

283
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: in a running back in elite. So I was in

284
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: this position during our Expert Fantasy d and I was

285
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: at number five. Now I decided to go Calvin Johnson

286
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: with my number five, but he gave me an idea

287
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: of who my guys were. Then I've created a second tier,

288
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: number one, and that starts off with DeMarco Murray, then

289
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey. I like Eddie Lacy this year. Why risk here? Well,

290
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: the reason why these guys are risk. You take a

291
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: guy like DeMarco Murray, and I look at de Marco Murray.

292
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Now I love his stats, and and everything that goes

293
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: along with him. But he still is an injury risk.

294
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: He's in a new offense, and Romo's back injury is

295
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: still gonna be up for You know, no one knows

296
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: what to expect for de Marco Murray. So that's something

297
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: that I have that in the back of my head.

298
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: But Lenahan's offense is the past happy offense and de

299
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Marco Murray he's gonna be that running back. Will he

300
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of touches? Will they depend on him

301
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game? I think they will, and I

302
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: think his value will be boost you quite a bit

303
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: in PPR league. Let's take a look at some of

304
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: these tier two running backs you have here. Yeah, the

305
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: tier two running backs. Arian Foster, he's at the bottom,

306
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, at the top of these tier two and

307
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: the reason why is the Arian Foss. He's another guy

308
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: with the injury concerned. Right above Arian Foster is a

309
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: guy like Zach Stacy. You know, I know that offense

310
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: has what I call an identity crisis. What is the

311
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: offense gonna be without Sam Bradford? They got all the

312
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: other stuff here. Ben Tate is a guy that I love.

313
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: At the bottom though, of my tier two running backs.

314
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: I think he could do something in that offense that

315
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: could fall apart with Brian Horrier's quarterback Adam Rank. This

316
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: friend of mine just drafted over the weekend and he

317
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: took Tony Gonzalez. Hello to take Tony Gonzalez. Hey, listen,

318
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I was over his shoulder. He just drafted the guy.

319
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you you've got a tip for

320
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: fantasy managers out there obviously that my friends should have

321
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: listened to you beforehand. Yes, No, who has retired, No,

322
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: who's suspended, No, all the injuries and everything that's going

323
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: on in the season, so you don't end up drafting

324
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: somebody like Tony Gonzalez. Nothing breaks up and draft more

325
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: is when that guy finally drafts Tony Gonzalez. But you

326
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: know what, you know what I do like though, And

327
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: this is the thing if you're going in and all

328
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: your friends, because a lot of my friends, my leaguer

00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: will ask me like, hey, so what's the deal with

331
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon? You know what lie to him? My god, No,

332
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's about the polling in junction. And then he'll

333
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: be fine, no, no, no, he's gonna miss one game. Dude,

334
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: he's playing all year, Ray Rice, No, no, no, he's

335
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss six games because of the new policy.

336
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: And then you know what, he's only gonna miss and
