00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: it's a Christmas movie. Jason Smith here with Fantasy Hall

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy Time. Now for some headlines even on

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. Speaking on his weekly radio show Tuesday, Aaron

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers said, quote, we have done a scan and we

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: are going through the process of evaluation, but I can

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: say definitively we will know by Thursday. He also stated,

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: quote I think it's easier if we get the decision

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: out of the way on Thursday and move forward. So

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: this means tomorrow watch NFL Fantasy Live all the fallout

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: what you should do with Aaron Rodgers. Earlier this week,

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said the plan was for

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the team to upgrade receiver Randall Cobbs reps in practice

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday. He's not yet been activated from the short

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: term i R, but fabs if he plays this weekend.

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Can you just take him off by our put him

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: in your lineup? That's a tough sell for me, But again,

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Week seventeen championships and fantasy are pretty tough. Maybe if

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: you need a third wide receiver, but it is a

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: very risky proposition. Al right. Speaking of risky, you think

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Jamal Charles out there in week seventeen

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be great. Maybe not. The Chiefs may

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: consider resting their starters this weekend against the Chargers. They're

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: already locked into the five seed in the FC playoff picture.

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Nothing they can do. And here's the bullet head. Coach

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Andy Reid told the media earlier this week he's made

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: no formal decision yet, but he's quote had some success

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: resting starters in the past. Everybody's getting reps this week, fab,

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Well, I don't know that

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: you can play Jamal Charles. I would expect their starters

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: to maybe play a couple of series and then leave

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: the game. Nile Davis is a nice sleeper in this contest,

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: a very talented running back who, if he sees a

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: big workload, could give you somewhere around ten to fifteen fantasies.

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: So right now you you would start Davis over Jamal

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Charles with I want to hear more from Andy Reid,

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: but right now I would be shocked if Charles, Alex Smith,

62
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Wayne Bow any of those guys played more than one

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: or two series. I We'll have more in this story

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: as it gets closer to Sunday as well. Vikings running

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: back Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhardt could both miss this

66
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: weekend's game against the Lines. Both Peterson and Gerhart missed

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: practice on Tuesday, while players have today off from practice

68
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: due to the holiday. Peterson pulled out of the team's

69
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: last game against the Bengals in the third quarter, dealing

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: with footman groin injuries, Gerhart dealing with a handstring issue.

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: So fast, this could be the sequel for Matt Asiata?

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be as good as die Hard? To which,

73
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: by the way, die Hard one was not a Christmas movie.

74
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Now you've got to take a look at Matt Asata again.

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: Keep tabs on the status of both Peterson and Gerhart. Really,

76
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: there's no reason to play Peterson at this point. Gerhart,

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: I'd play him if he's healthy. Okay, they're both Christmas movies,

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: But are you starting Asiata? Look, he had eighty five

79
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: carries for fifty is the starting running back of the Vikings.

80
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: He's a flex starter, and no, Diehart is not a

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Christmas movie, right, Moving on, the Oakland Raiders have announced

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: that Terrell Prior we'll start the team's Week seventeen match

83
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: up against the Broncos. Prior hasn't started since Week ten,

84
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: and because of this, Prior's agent is accusing the Raiders

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: of setting him up to fail. Raiders head coach Dennis

86
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Allen it disagrees. Well, the first is I'd say, that's

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the stupidest thing I've ever freaking heard. You know, no

88
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: coach in their right mind, this isn't This isn't the

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. All right, this isn't made

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: for TV TV drama. Okay, this is football, and we

91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: make our football decisions based solely on that. He said

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: the same thing about Fantasy Live earlier this year. You know,

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: this is the holiday season, it's Christmas, and we're not

94
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: getting a lot of goodwill there from from coach Allen.

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: But I liked Roll Pryor as a sleeper this week.

96
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: The last time he played the Broncos almost nineteen fantasy

97
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: points low end one this week end one for you, Yes,

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Hey, you guys know me. I

99
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: love me some TP. I've loved them all season long.

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Then he unfortunately got hurt. Not mcgloyne took over the job.

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: But ter all pride and get the job done for you.

102
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: If you need a quarterback in week seventeen now where

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to use TP since Week ten,

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna answer that at all. For more. Now,

105
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: let's throw it over to Elliott Harrison and Marcus. Marcus

106
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: tell him Diehard is not a Christmas movie. I don't

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I really don't want any part of that country. Now

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: I have some t P whole, Marcus grant here, Elliott Harrison,

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: and we are taking a look now at the top

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks on NFL dot Com that we're heading into

111
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: the season based on a DP that's average draft position.

112
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Take a look right here, Marcus. You see Aaron Rodgers,

113
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, the familiar names. But if we're spending spending

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: it forward about quarterbacks that may have jumped in the

115
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: top ten based on what they accomplished this year or

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: down the back half of the schedule. What are you

117
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: see in next year? Well, a guy that I really

118
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: like is Philip Rivers. And I know we've never talked

119
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers on this never ever at all every week.

120
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was a guy who had a Fantasy resurrection

121
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: this year. Mike McCoy came in and and really helped

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: revive him, and along with Philip Rivers, certainly helped Antonio gains,

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: we gained some relevancy, helped Keenan Allen be a candidate

124
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: for Rookie of the Year. But Philip Rivers looks like

125
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: the guy that we saw a few years ago. He's

126
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: maybe not quite as prolific because he was early in

127
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: his career, but he's still good enough that he warrants

128
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: consideration as a top ten, maybe even a top five

129
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback next year. How much like I like Keenan

130
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Allen a lot, Well, I'll tell you a guy I

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: like a lot young players. It's like keen Allen is

132
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Nick Foles is gonna have the same head coach. Okay,

133
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the same cast of characters they've developed

134
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: young players there in Philadelphia. Can you have de Sean Jackson,

135
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: you have Zach Ertz, you have Riley Cooper, and then

136
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: Lashan mccour You can make a legitimate case number one

137
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: pick in fantasy. I love Nick Foles going next year.

138
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: The other thing I like Marcus is he doesn't give

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: you the dreaded negative two in fantasy that kills you

140
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: like Eli Manning does Nick Foles good player. Now you've

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: got a controversial one, another young quarterback. I've got one

142
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, who is borderline in those top ten quarterbacks

143
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: for next season. And you look at Andy Dalton, it

144
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: is truly a roller coaster. On weeks, you don't get

145
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I mean, there are weeks when he

146
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: will give you single digits, but you just can't have

147
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: out of your fantasy quarterbacks with. Then there are weeks

148
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: like what we saw in weeks sixteen where he win

149
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: him it was a thirty point guy against the Minnesota Vikings.

150
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Until that kind of has him right on the fringe,

151
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: just sort of like you're coming into this year, we

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: said guys like Tony Romo and Lac Rivers, Matt Stafford

153
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: were kind of those borderline guys. I think Andy Dalton

154
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: starts next year with that stay all right. If I'm

155
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: sitting at home and I'm seeing a bunch of Andy

156
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Dalton highlights right now, I'm thinking to sell me on

157
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, sell me on Andy Dalk. I think Andy

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Dalton's a guy. He certainly has a j Green, which

159
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: is a big help. And I think another year of

160
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard in that backfield is a dynamic running back

161
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: with Tyler Effort Tyler Eiffort there in the offense. I

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of those weapons coming back for a

163
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: second year give Andy Dalton a little more confidence and

164
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: a little more value, so I can take Andy Dalton

165
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: second overall my fantasy I would not do that. Yeah.

197
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,240

200
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400

201
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Matt Stafford, Colin Kaepernick was on

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: a buy oh Eli man who was on a buy two,

203
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: but not that you missed him that week. Also, Laite

204
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: nine still was white out. Jericho Cottry Elliott burst onto

205
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: the fantasy scene for us. Yeah, Jericho Contrey. You know,

206
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: people might be surprised by him, but I think he

207
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: started playing the NFL and Jimmy King was still pitching

208
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: the n J. Jericho Cottrey to were up to New

209
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots. It was surprising, but not to me. I

210
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: recommended Jericho Cattring. In fact, I predicted that you have

211
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: twenty seven point six zero points and he did specific

212
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Really that was very nice. I think I said twenty

213
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: seven point six five he would throw a pass, but

214
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: I mess up. Was that applause or was that just

215
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: domino has all fallen on the table. I think they

216
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: were trying to play us off the stage and with

217
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: that one, okay, got it all right? So who is

218
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the winner? The winner for Spots Staughter of the Year.

219
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: But by the way, Jericho Cottring have the same time

220
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: with their prediction. Prediction uh I predict people open the

221
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: envelope and tells it's really sealed tight. I'll tell you

222

Speaker 1: the vote. Guys, is this was this really close in

225
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: your minds? I don't think so. I think you know,

226
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: when you talk about Spots stars, Marvin Jones the guy

227
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: that everybody looked at a J Green on that team,

228
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: and Marvin Jones was probably even the third behind Mohammed

229
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Sanu when you talked about Bengals wide receivers. So I

230
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: mean in terms of my guy that you weren't gonna

231
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: play a game, but he came up big. He's the guy. Well,

232
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: some of us is Marvin Jones. But you know, Jason,

233
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I were talking in the dressing room and the Jets

234
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: they you know, they chose to deal away their best player,

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: Darrell remas their secondary for a lot of games this year. Jason,

236
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: we're letting wide receivers run around like kids at a

237
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: public swim. Hey, they did not let a j Green

238
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: beat them. That was their goal. Here's how it shook out.

239

Speaker 1: in this one. Their internet was down that day. Now

243
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: there is a margin of error by a few votes

244
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,320

Speaker 1: after those big games out we saw how explosive your

270
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: offense could be. This past week against the Minnesota Vikings,

271
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: you guys were just fantastic. You've got yourself A J Green,

272
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu do you think this offense gets enough credit

273
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: for being as explosive as it can be? Well, I

274
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: mean I think I think. I think we do. You know,

275
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: I think we do. If we don't, then you know,

276
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't really matter to us because we know

277
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: what we have in our room and in all of

278
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: our rooms, and and uh, we go out there and

279
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: practice with each other, and we all uh, you know,

280
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: just lip each other up. Uh, you know, in terms

281
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: of how we play and the things we do in practice.

282
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: So we know what we we have, and I'm pretty

283
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: sure other people know. But um, at the end of

284
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: the day, it's just all about us going out there

285
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and continuing to do what we can what we do,

286
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, to contribute in to a win. To me,

287
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: you guys have one of the best young wide receiving

288
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: corps in the National Football League. Now your quarterback Andy Dalton.

289
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: He scored the fifth most Fantasy points one quarterbacks this season.

290
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: That is fantastic. Talk about his maturation process throughout the

291
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: course of his career. In this season, I mean, it's

292
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: been great, you know, ever since you know, I came up.

293
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: It just every year, you know, he gets more and

294
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: more in tune to you know, you know what he's

295
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: doing and and and how to lead the team, and

296
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: he's been doing a great job of doing that. And

297
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: and um start stemming from you know, this offseason we

298
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: went down there to Texas and and through with him

299
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: and and you know, just had a good time out there,

300
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: and and that just goes to shows you you know

301
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: how you know how he he's took it upon himself

302
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: to to really get get all of us involved and

303
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: get a bond going. And it's it's been and has

304
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: been great so far. Now moving on, I think you're

305
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a very very nice sleeper. Another player that

306
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: I think is gonna have a big year in is

307
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: your teammate Giovanni Bernard. Now, if you can pass him

308
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: along a message and tell him that Michael Fabio said

309
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a fantasy sleeper, a breakout candidate on

310
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: my Fantasy man CRUs list. I don't know if he's

311
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna take that well or not, But talk about Giovanni

312
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: burn Art and why he has such major upside in

313
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: the statueets coming up next season. I mean, he's he's

314
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: a he's a dynamic player, he's a breakout player and

315
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: and he's a player that could uh that squeeze through

316
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: little holes and he could he could go, uh go

317
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: take anything to distance and um and in with us

318
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: what what our coach says is in our wife receiver room,

319
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: is you all you always have to block, you know

320
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: you you can't. You can't just h a butt up

321
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: a guy and say, okay, the play is over, because

322
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: with two five in the in the backfield, the play

323
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: is never over, you know. So uh, he's he's been

324
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: great for us, and it's it's been great just watching

325
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: him and and blocking for that long, you know, and

326
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: seeing him do do all of these explosive runs. It's

327
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: it's been great. Marvin. Once again, congratulations on winning spots

341
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,640

349
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: Jason Smith alongside Elliott Harrison, Michael Fabiano, and Marcus Grant.

350
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: All throughout the show, we're gonna spin it forward towards

351
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: next year's fantasy football season. But first, let's take a

352
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: look at the top twelve players drafted in the first

353
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: years in the first round this past year. This is

354
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: based on average draft position. Adrian Peterson Marshall, Adrian Peterson

355
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Marshawn lynch Arian Foster, ray Rice, Doug Martin. So names

356
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna see in the first round next year and

357
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: some names you're not going to see in the first

358
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: round next year. So let's take a look at some

359
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna fall out of the first round

360
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: and Fabs Ray Rice leading the way out of the

361
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: first round. One of the biggest bust and fantasy football

362
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: this season. I can't believe I'm saying that he's not

363
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: an older back, He's not coming off a bad season.

364
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: I think he had that hit problem and it's hounded

365
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: him throughout the course of this campaign. The Baltimore offensive

366
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: line wasn't very good as bad as he's been this year, though, Guys,

367
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: I really expect him to be healthy and bounce back

368
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen behind what should be an

369
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: improved offensive line. The Ravens have to make improvements there.

370
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: What round does he go? In? Second round? All right, Elliott,

371
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: I wish you were telling me about how you thought C. J.

372
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Spiller was going to be a bustar. I should have

373
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: listened to you earlier in the preseason. I draft him

374
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: in three leagues. He crushed me in all three of

375
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: my leagues, and now he's not gonna be a first

376
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: rounder anymore. Don't feel I made up for it by

377
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: recommending Isaiah p two years. C J. Spiller is a

378
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: track guy. Okay. Track guys don't have good reputations in

379
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. They never have, whether it's running back or

380
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver, from being a durable thirty touch back. And

381
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: that's what you want from c J. Spiller if you're

382
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: drafting him seventh overall. Fellas he wanted him to touch

383
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: the ball twenty to thirty times. He's not that kind

384
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: of guy. He always tries to balance everything outside. Moreover,

385
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: the Bills rely on Fred Jackson when they really need

386
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: to get it done. I don't like him next year,

387
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: even in the second round. So third, fourth round from Spiller.

388
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: All right, Marcus, how about Trent richards This could be

389
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: one of those Sandra Bullock falling from space type falls

390
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: out of the first round. It really is. This is

391
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy who just tumbles throughout fantasy draft.

392
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, I think Trut Richardson is

393
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: poised for a big bounce back next year. The Colts

394
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: gave up way too much to get this guy. They're

395
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: not gonna quit on him just yet. Donald Brown may

396
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: not be back in Indianapolis. And for Trent Richardson, it's

397
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: not a matter of lack of talent. It's a matter

398
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: of trying to always hit the home run when sometimes

399
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: a simple play will do so. All those times he

400
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: had big holes, he'll find a way to hit those

401
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: holes out of there. Next year may not be spectacular,

402
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: but you'll get a good draft value. I think on

403
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: shrit richards in this round, fifth round, six, fifth round

404
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: or something like that, I think he's gonna tumble on

405
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: a lot of drafts. People are gonna stay away from him.

406
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: If you decide to take a chance, I think you

407
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: can get some some good reward. Right. That's a big

408
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison philosophy, know the value of a two yard carry. Now,

409
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: another running back who may fall out of the first

410
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: round is Arian Foster banged up? In moving forward? Is

411
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: he still a first round pick? Fabs, he is, but

412
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: we have to keep tabs on his rehab and recovery

413
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: from this back element. Back surgeries, those are tough for

414
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: especially for a running back who has had so much

415
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: wear and tear in his body over the last few seasons.

416
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: If we hear positive reports in the off season. He's

417
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: in for training camp. He's a late first round pick

418
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: and he setbacks, well, he's gonna fall, And if you

419
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: watch some of this video, he does what we were

420
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: just talking about. He always falls forward. He has a

421
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: forward lane when he runs, he knifes through. I still

422
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: like Arian Foster, especially with bent Tate not being around.

423
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: I like Foster more than I like this jacket was jacket.

424
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: I think I like the jacket boy than I like

425
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Foster. I think I like Elliot jacket more than

426
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: I like all three of you. Jacket more than Merry Christmas, everyone, Jimmy. Now,

427
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: one player who could slip out of the first round

428
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: next year, most likely will is Doug Martin. He missed

429
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: the majority of the year with the shoulder injury. So

430
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: what can we expect with Martin's recovery. Friend of the

431
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: Program Dr Neil Goodaddra explains, Yeah, so when it comes

432
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: to Doug Martin, we've been dealing with this label injury

433
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: for a long time in his shoulder. The question was,

434
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: is that you know he had this label injury a

435
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: while ago. It looked as though he's about to come back,

436
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: But now he's been on I R and he hasn't

437
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: been playing. Part of that could be due to the

438
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: fact that backup running back has been extremely well right now,

439
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: So the question becomes why is he not back in

440
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: and what does this mean for the future for fantasy owners.

441
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. The labor, as we discussed before,

442
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of the bumper in the joint. It holds

443
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: the joint in place so when you tear it. It's

444
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: not as important for running backs who hold the ball

445
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: like this most of the time, as opposed to quarterbacks

446
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: you have to hold their arm up. This is a

447
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: position that actually will bother the labor. The quarterbacks, it's

448
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: a bigger issue than it is for a running back.

449
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: This is the labor that's torn that I'm showing here

450
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: exact same care that Martin has. See how it lifts

451
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: up off the bone. When they repair it, it has

452
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: to be repaired back down onto this using small plastic

453
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: anchors that will go in the bone with stitches that

454
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: go around and push this back down onto the bone.

455
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: So for Doug Martin's rehab as a cinch, he'll be

456
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: six months of rehab. He'll be back on the field

457
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and this shouldn't affect him at all for next year.

458
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: He will still be a good pickup and as a

459
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: running back. This injury is not a big deal. It's

460
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: something that he can just fight through and he'll be

461
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: back on the field no time. I always love watching

462
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: operations on television and make it look so easy. Why

463
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: would I even go to medical school. I just learned

464
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: how to do a torn labor replacement in like thirty seconds. Yeah,

465
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: I'm not hiring you. I'm not like that. I'm not

466
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: hungry for fahitas right now. Now, Elliott, you tore your

467
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: labor and back in two thousand and in two So

468
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: what does this mean for Doug Martin as far as

469
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: what he's got to do? Football? Was because you have

470
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: experience with this right. Basically, it's gonna affect two things. One,

471
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna affect pass protection because he probably won't be

472
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: as strong. Pushing your shoulder effects it's not all about

473
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: bench press. Secondly, it's gonna affect his mobility catching the

474
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: football with his right hand. As far as running the football,

475
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: he's a high and tight guy. Think Tikey Barber when

476
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: you think of Doug Martin. I don't think this's gonna

477
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: affect him running the football. It will affect affect his mobility,

478
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: though he may not be as good a pass catcher

479
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: as he was last year. That's what was Harrison's adp

480
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: coming off the tour labor. Do you remember he dropped

481
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. He was probably round four, round five,

482
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: but he did end up with second round value. So

483
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: Harrison was a very nice value pick. I gotta ask you,

484
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: which shoulder is it that's messed up? Are Harrison ran

485
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: a four four about fifteen years ago? Which shoulder? Glory day?

486
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Right here? Does this hurt? Hurt a little bit? All right?

487
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: So real quick, guys, what round do you take in

488
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Doug Martin next year? Did you just look at me first? Yeah?

489
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: I think your labor, I think you did. I would

490
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: take Doug Martin the third roun on second round, second round,

491
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: all right, so still early picked, though maybe not what

492
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: he was. You know me, I always draft, alright. So

493
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: from guys you're taking in the first and second or

494
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: maybe even third rounds that next year, two players who

495
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: are gonna take much later than that, it's never too

496
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: early to start thinking about sleepers. So to fill you

497
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: in on some under the radar guys that target for

498
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: next year. Let's throw it over to Adam Reik. Hey, everybody,

499
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: how are you doing? This is Adam Rank here, And

500
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: every week I give you eleven sleepers that can help

501
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: you win your fantasy week. And if you need some

502
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: sleepers for Week seventeen, well guess what You're out of luck.

503
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. You guys should have had your

504
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: championship games this week. But I'll tell you what I'm

505
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna do. In the spirit of Christmas, I'm gonna give

506
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: you eleven guys that can help you out for two

507
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen. Why don't we take a look at

508
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: some of those names right now and leading the way,

509
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, if you've seen him play, he's to bring

510
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: pretty good. Dennis Johnson, Bent Tate, Andre Ellington, Michael Floyd,

511
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Cordell Patterson, Marquis Goodwin, Derek Rodgers to be right, but areuscreen.

512
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: But let's go right back up to the top and

513
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill a guy who has scored at least twenty

514
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: one Fantasy points in three of his last four games.

515
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he has thrown twenty three

516
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: touchdown passes this season. The most of any Dolphins quarterback

517
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: not named Dan Verrino. And when you think about how

518
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: much trouble this team has had on the offensive line,

519
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill is gonna be so much better, so much improved

520
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: next season. Don't draft a quarterback early. You can wait

521
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: and pick up a guy like Ryan Tannehill. Let's move

522
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: on to the running back position. We saw Bentate get

523
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: an audition with the Houston Texans this season and he

524
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: played pretty well. Now the big question is where does

525
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: he end up next year. Well, he could be in Cleveland,

526
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: he could be in Oakland. It doesn't matter because he's

527
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: gonna be a featured back and he has shown enough

528
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: in this small sample size of two thousand thirteen that

529
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: he can be an elite featured running back. So keep

530
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: an eye on him. He will be good for you

531
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: next year. Let's go onto the wide receiver position. I'm

532
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: gonna go I'm gonna give you two guys, but we'll

533
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: start with Cordarol Patterson, one the big play receivers coming

534
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: out of that man or excuse me, Minnesota Vikings offense.

535
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: He's had a touchdown in four consecutive games. He's had

536
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: at least eleven fantasy points in three consecutive weeks. This

537
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a big time player next year.

538
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: Get him on your radar. Watch the Vikings this week.

539
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: I know I wouldn't normally tell you to watch the Vikings,

540
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: but do it this week. Watch him play. You will

541
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: be drafting him next year. And finally, let's talk a

542
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: little bit about Michael Floyd, the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver

543
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: who has really stepped up this season. As you see

544
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: right there, he leads the team in receiving yards, he

545
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: leads the team in most receiving yards per game, and

546
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: he's had seven big time plays of more than twenty

547
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: five yards this season. He is just starting to find

548
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: his stride as a wide receiver excuse me, wide receiver

549
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And if think it had a better

550
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in Arizona, that'll be all the better. So those

551
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: are some guys to watch this weekend. And if for

Speaker 1: Smith here alongside all the guys. We're gonna put one

574
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: thirty on the clock and then just let it rip

575
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: go through as many Fantasy Genius fans submitted questions as

576
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: we can, these are all questions being asked about next season. Ready,

577
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: here we go. First question, where should you draft Josh

578
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: Gordon Marcus. I think he's a second round pick. He

579
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: is the second receiver off the board after Calvin Johnson,

580
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: second round pick, No question about it. Overall, where should

581
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: you draft Julio Jones? Cookies and cream? Overall, cookies and cream.

582
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Julio Jones pretty good to second or

583
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: third round exactly, late second, early third round, midnight cookies

584
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: and cream, chocolate ice cream with cookies and cream, that's

585
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: next level. Randall Cobb in radio draft, I think Randall

586
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: Cob probably falls somewhere around the fourth or fifth round.

587
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: For me, I agree, I say fourth round. He's gonna

588
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: be a nice value between the overall. What about Noshawn Lorena? Oh,

589
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy predator weighing in? Perhaps Fantasy predator wants to know

590
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: if Marino is going to be in Denver next season.

591
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: We don't assume he's in Denver as okay, second round? Wow,

592
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: second round? Thank you, Fantasy predator, wherever you may be. Yeah, yeah, no,

593
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think I think you get

594
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: him around the second round. Somewhere when you draft Peyton Manning.

595
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: I think Peyton Manning is a guy you will see

596
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: probably early second round. I say in some drafts, not

597
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: my draft, but in in some draft he may even get

598
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: in the late first round. I'm not taking him in

599
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: the first or second, or third or fourth or fifth.

600
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: Somebody else cann't have him. He'll probably go in the

601
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: first round in a lot of leagues, but I'm not

602
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: taking him there. I completely agree with you there. Somebody's

603
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna take him there, but I'm right there with you.

604
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: Why do it? Where do you draft Zack Stacy? Zach

605
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Stacy top of the second round, second round pick? I

606
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: think he goes midto late second round, all right? How

607
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: about Rob Gronkowski coming off many injuries? Where do you

608
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: go with him? I think Grounk falls somewhere around the

609
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: seventh or eighth round. I'm going I'm going fifth or sixth,

610
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: as long as he's expected to be back for Week one.

611
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: No way I would take him third or fourth round.

612
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: It's too hard to find it, tight end. It's too

613
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: hard to trust though. If you hear reports about when

614
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back, boy games here, gonna play here,

615
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna play. We went through all of that this season.

616
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Remember that all right that was Engineered to win, presented

617
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: by Volkswagon. Now, our good friend Jimmy Kimmel occasionally had

618
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: celebrities read angry tweets about themselves. Since we hear it,

619
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live are in the business of giving advice, we

620
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: tend to get a few angry tweets now and then ourselves.

621
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: So to pay homage to the Jimmy Kimmel Show, here's

622
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: a few NFL Fantasy Live reads angry tweets. Hey at

623
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Molly Carrom, why are you dressed like a video girl

624
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: in a rap video? While reporting on NFL Network? Class

625
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: it up a bit? Hashtag true talk? Well, Tarik, what's

626
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: your favorite drink? Hey to Raid Jason, you seem like

627
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: a nice enough guy, but your jokes are terrible. Sorry,

628
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: someone had to tell you. Hey at Adam Rank, nice sucks.

629
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know os Coosh mc gosh had a fall line.

630
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: Hashtag fashion fail. Well, jokes on you, they're tough skins

631
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: At Michael Fabiano. You know what happens when I don't

632
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: listen to your opinion? I make the finals in all

633
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: five of my league's hashtag coming for your job. Bar

634
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: His fantasy football advice is a trap. Really, you know what,

635
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: won't you call me that? Six one nine? Come get

636
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: some at NFL Fantasy Marcus Grant looks exactly like Gino Smith,

637
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: and just like Gino, his picks are terrible. You do

638
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: you know you do a little bit. I've never heard that,

639
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: a little bit that are terrible. I was talking about it.

640
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: That was the whole way. You don't even have the

641
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Smith. I don't get that at all. I don't

642
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: understand that. Yeah, I know, I don't know where they came.

643
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, pirate Steve on r T. Where it's a

644
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: pirate and now you don't get a pirate on How

645
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: angry do you guys get when you get a tweet

646
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: from somebody that really just just takes on. It really

647
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: depends on how nasty it is. Typically it doesn't bother me,

648
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: but some of them they go a little bit over

649
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: the top. Apparently, I don't get upset at all. That's nice.

650
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: Who could get upset at Elliott when he's wearing such

651
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: a lovely quarter right jacket. You know we didn't we

652
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: didn't have any angry Tony Romo tweets. That's why he's

653
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: got a long list of him He's still to come.

654
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: It can't be Christmas without a visit from old st Nick.

655
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: He stops by with a list of who's been naughty

656
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: and who's been nice on NFL Fantasy Live this season.

657
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: There he is. He might even bring some gifts with him.

658
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Look at that. What's need to put him in the

659
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: Christmas tree? Oh it's a football. Wait ball, Wait a minute, ball,

660
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: Wake up, stupid Sanna needs some lessons. That's a tough

661
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: spending Santa. Helet easter, honey better, let's figure about. In

662
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: the spirit of the holidays, the Indianapolis Colts spend time

663
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: spreading holiday cheer at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. Seven Colts players,

664
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: including quarterback Andrew Luck, as well as team cheerleaders, continued

665
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: what has become an annual team tradition by carroling through

666
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: the hallways of the hospital while handing out gifts to

667
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: patients and signed posters to each room. Happy Holidays everyone,

668
00:31:54,280 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: and now to a man who needs no introduction, ho

669
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Happy Holidays everyone. Santa Claus here, along with Michael Fabiano,

670
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison, and Marcus Grant time down to decide a

671
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: few fellows have been naughty or nice for this season.

672
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Let's begin with you, Mr Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano.

673
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: Tell me why you've been nice this year, Santa Santa.

674
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: I have dispersed good fantasy advice, well mostly good fantasy

675
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: advice all season long, and I try to help people

676
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: win championships. And I think I brought championships to a

677
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: lot of homes out there. Are you telling me the truth?

678
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: Young man? Mostly? WHOA? Let's see if Mr Fabiano was

679
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: telling the truths creepy. I've been talking about Lamar Miller

680
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: the entire offseason. Lamar Miller, I love you, man, I

681
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: am expecting big things from me. I love Trent Richardson, Guys.

682
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: I absolutely think he is gonna be a top five

683
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: fantasy running back this season. The Cardinals. I don't know

684
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: if it's a additional sleeper unit because if you look

685
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: at the last couple of years, they always finish somewhere

686
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: in the top twelve and fantasy points at the defensive spoke.

687
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: Another player that are like there in that New England

688
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: offense is Kemeral Tompkins. Now, yes, who is Cameral Tompkins? Well,

689
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: this is an undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati, who, by

690
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the way, has been the most impressive receiver outside of

691
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: dani A Mendola in Patriots camp. Some good advice there, however,

692
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I've had to listen to blitz in all week tell

693
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: me how he won our league of record in the

694
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: North Pole because I started Lamar Miller for most of

695
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: the season. Sorry about that. And you also did ruin

696
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: the end of Sons of Anarchy for many viewers by

697
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: blowing it for people who watch the show, Santa Michael

698
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: in the Week in the North Pole only season five

699
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: is on Netflix. We're trying to catch up at the

700
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: end of the season. But Santa loves all his children.

701
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: So please as a big baseball fan, I know you are,

702
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: Please come get your gift here. This has been picked

703
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: out especially for you. There you go, please take that

704
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: is this toilet Papers wants you to keep warm this

705
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: year the Red Sox Wednesday, you can celebrate them winning

706
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: the World Series. This is like a Guinness. You can

707
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: shrink it a little bit, put in the drawing. Thanks.

708
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing some time. Elliott Harrison. I especially enjoy your

709
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: appearances on the show, young man. I appreciate that Santa

710
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: all right now. Can you tell me have you been

711
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: not here nice this season? Well, I think I've been

712
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: really nice because between writing six thousand, seven hundred and

713
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: four articles a week for NFL dot Com, as well

714
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: as having six different bosses, tell me I put the

715
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 1: wrong cover sheet on my blue TPS report. I feel

716
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: like I've squeezed some good fantasy advice and they're somewhere.

717
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I want to address that, but

718
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: first let's see if Mr Harrison is indeed telling the

719
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: truth about himself. I like Greg Little this year, and

720
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: he mentioned Josh Gordon being out. Browns fans were down

721
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: on this guy. His hands were bad early last year.

722
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: The Browns are gonna need him early on. Tell you

723
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: right now, Stephen Ridley, even if he only gets six

724
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: of the carries, is still gonna run for twelve yards.

725
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: And it's not so much that I just like Kenny Stills.

726
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 1: I like the situation. At the end of the day,

727
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills has opportunity. I think Lashaw McCoy is gonna

728
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: have a better year under Chip Kelly than he had

729
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: any of the years under any reading. I like Lashawn

730
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: McCoy a lot this year. He's easily a top five pick,

731
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: so you did have some good advice now, young man, However,

732
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I disagree completely with your power rankings every week. I

733
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: would I would too, and my recommendation of Darryl Richardson

734
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: as a sleeper. I've actually posted an honest child comments

735
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: and you've never posted back to me under Kay Fringle.

736
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And then you were when you were five

737
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: years old? Did I bring you that Don Meredith autograph

738
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: that you wanted? You haven't? Is in a Road Blue

739
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: Jersey White. You're a pure stine and I know you're

740
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: a big fan of music. You like to sing these

741
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: crazy songs from the seventies on Fantasy Live. So please

742
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: come get your present because you have this. SAT had

743
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: to go deep onto e Bay for that. There you go.

744
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: Can you show everyone? Please show everyone right there? Album?

745
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you there's some great hits on this,

746
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: but if you really want to go with the best

747
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: one saying, I keep forgetting, can you get me a

748
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,160

Speaker 1: him to. All the times he goes over time and

753
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: our producers say, please cut this segment. Note he continues

754
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: to sing except for now. Well, I know you're not

755
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,719

Speaker 1: he's He's done. Thank you for the inside information. You

764
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: gave out some pretty good fantasy advice this year as well.

765
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at not only being quarterback for

766
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, Geno Smith giving out his fantasy advice as well.

767
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: He has a new coach in there in Rob Chandnsky.

768
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: North Turner has come in as the offensive coordinator and

769
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 1: they've built this offense around the strengths of Brandon Weed,

770
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: the guy that I really do like. We talked about

771
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: the Patriots and him spreading the ball around. They're kind

772
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: of short on pass catchers, which is why I like

773
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: Dan Amndola. I'm all about Sir Reginald Elfred Bushel the second.

774
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is a guy who's in

775
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: a great spot for his skill sick he has my

776
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: break out. I mean, he's a guy who last year

777
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 1: really played well, especially near the end of the season.

778
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: Five touchdowns in his final seven games over the end

779
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: of the twelve season. Very good fantasy advice, except that

780
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Waton as a sleeper kind of came back to

781
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: b and he went back to sleep. I didn't realize

782
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: that well that one too. Certainly though, you have been

783
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: nice most of the time except for that Brandon Weedon advice.

784
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: So let me make sure because you had him as

785
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: a sleeper, I can give you this present. Mrs Claus

786
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: was up very late making this one here, Mr Geno Smith,

787
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: I would stick to quarterbacking, but here, since he's such

788
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: a sleeper for you here he is a pillow as

789
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,319

Speaker 1: up the big envelope, here are the nominees. And first

816
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: up is Eddie Lacey, who fabs. You've mentioned him a

817
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: little bit this year, but not too much. Yeah, only

818
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: a few hundred times, and trying to acquire him in

819
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: a trade and you wouldn't do it, Smith, Eddie Lazy

820
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be our first rod pick, nextson. This kid

821
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: is a top ten fantasy running back. He runs successfully

822
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: with the football on all three downs. He's a goal

823
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: line he could even catch the ball in the backfield

824
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Eddie Lacy is a star in the making.

825
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: I see what you mean with the dominoes, now, Elliott,

826
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: after hearing them again, let's get to Keenan Allen. Can

827
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: we get him again? We might be able to. How

828
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: about Keenan Allen. I like Keenan Allen a lot. I

829
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: love his athletic ability and there we go, right there.

830
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: I love that. Let me tell you what I really

831
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: like about Keenan Allen, that he could play at this

832
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: level as a rookie. How many rookie wide receivers are

833
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: really come in the NFL have been productive man, Kuan Bolden,

834
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, A j. Green You can't think of that

835
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: many after him. Terry Glenn's another one. It's about every

836
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: couple of years, Terry Glenn. That's how far you have

837
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: to go back. That's why I like this guy. A

838
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: year two, I think Keenan Allen is not gonna have

839
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: any drop off next year. No drop off. You forgot

840
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Stephen Hill, uh Giovanni, Bernard Marcus. He saved a lot

841
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: of people. Absolutely did. And I've been saying all year.

842
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: Multiple is the buzzword in the NFL, especially with running bats,

843
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: Guys who can run it, guys who can catch it.

844
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: We thought that Joe Bernard was poised, maybe in his

845
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: second year, to take over as the top back in

846
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals all fence. He was ahead of schedule. He

847
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: did that midway through the season. Made Ben Jarvis green

848
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: ellis kind of a secondary back, kind of a goal

849
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: lineback of anything, and I think Bernard only gets better

850
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: going forward. Alright, so here's the winner and it is

851
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: you guys have any guesses. I'm going lazy, neely stuck

852
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: together well, and the winner is Eddie Lacey with a

853
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: black buy. The Fantasy Rookie of the Year results Giovanni

854
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: Bernard got ten percent of the vote, Keenan Allen, Eddie

855
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: Lacey six of the vote. So, Marcus, when you're drafting

856
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: him next season, I think Eddie Lacey is easily a

857
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: first round pick. And it's hard to imagine a saying

858
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: that about a Green Bay Packers running like they've been

859
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: looking for somebody to carry the load for a couple

860
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: of years. Eddie Lacey is that guy. You had him

861
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: on Green You had Ryan Grant since then, Eddielee Ivory,

862
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: not so much Edgar Bennett. But Eddie Lacy is the

863
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: first round pick. Marcus is exactly right both in standard

864
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: and PPR leagues. I do think Jason, as we look

865
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: at the results here, that Eddie Lacey a lotas has

866
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: to do with the position that he plays, you know,

867
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's and wide receiver. People feel like they can

868
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: go and find a wide receiver. It's a lot harder

869
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: to find a running nut, and you could plug Harlan

870
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: Huckleby in that offense to what he would do for

871
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could pull out now you

872
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: and Eddie Lee I' for I had to go Harlan Hucklebee.

873
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's move on. What about Jevonni Bernard? Where where do

874
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: you draft him? Next year? You guys know I like

875
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: Geo a lot. He's gonna be on the man Crush list,

876
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: right next to Lacy. I'm gonna say someone's gonna draft him.

877
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: End of the second round, beginning of the third round

878
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: could be me. Yeah, I was thinking twenty overall. I

879
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't really want to go much higher than that. If

880
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: you're sitting there or fifteenth, I would not move on him.

881
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: I made that mistake with David Wilson this year in

882
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: our experts league. I will not do that again. So

883
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: to me, this guy is the top of the third round.

884
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: Back Keenan Allen Marcus Obviously Philip rivers number one wide receiver.

885
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: He went through a renaissance this year in a big offense.

886
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Where do you draft him? I think Keenan Allen's a

887
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: guy you find somewhere late in the second, probably earlier

888
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: in the third, is more where you're gonna Keenan Allen.

889
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy who is another one who's

890
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: really going to step up and play well. He is

891
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: suddenly the lead receiver in the Chargers offense that has

892
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: bounced back under Mike mcboy this year, and I think

893
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy that helps a whole lot

894
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: of people when it comes to fantasy next season. You know,

895
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: we talk about wide receivers running backs. It's really hard

896
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: to draft the wide receivers You've talked about Elliott to

897
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: say yeah, he's going to give us some kind of

898
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: production his first year running backs wise, it's almost like,

899
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: if we see the guy, if he has talent, he's

900
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to produce, because that's what happens with

901
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: running backs. Absolutely, and I think some people got sucked

902
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: into the Monte ball trap on that exact theory. The

903
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: only thing about Keenan Allen that concerns me drafting him

904
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: that high marks is how much the Chargers like to

905
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: run the football under Mike McCoy. Will that hurt his

906
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: yardage total? I know he'll get the touchdowns he's a

907
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: great red zone target. I'm worried that he's not gonna

908
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: get the Josh Gordon type yardage. I think I think

909
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: it's possible, though, and I think, you know, you see

910
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: what happens with a guy like Antonio Gates who is

911
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: getting down to near the end of his career. The

912
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: other receivers in that charge of offense have been inconsistent

913
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: in terms of health. They just simple stay on the field.

914
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: They're talented guys, they just can't stay healthy. And I

915
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: think Keenan Allen, as long as he stays on the field,

916
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: gets a lot of a good rapport with Philip Rivers.

917
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of good young wide receivers

918
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: now in the National Football League. We're talking about Josh Gordon,

919
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Alshean Jeffrey, So there are more options of

920
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: that position, especially at the top of the position. There

921
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: have been not Greg Little that was kind of tough,

922
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: but Santa still gave you a nice present. You gotta

923
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: you gotta Cleveland Browns wide receiver just the wrong one.

924
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: Where are you draft Miles Austin's hamstring just right behind

925
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,680
