1

Speaker 1: fantasy draft would look like if you re drafted after

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Week four. There's some guys slide out of that list.

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: can always join the conversation by using the hashtag NFL

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy for stories like this time now for some headlines

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: out of Buffalo, the running back news c J. Spiller

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: will be a true game time decision against the Browns

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Thursday Night. But Fred Jackson told NFL Networks Andrew Siciliano

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: on Tuesday that he has quote definitely playing so fact,

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: who can you rust out of these two guys? Trust?

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Neither one of them? Uh, both have both are banged up. Listen,

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna start Spiller and Jackson in their flex position.

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: But this is a bad matchup. Remember over the years

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, Hey, the Browns run defense is

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: always a great matchup Elliott this year not so much.

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Their front seven is really good. I completely agree if

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: it were between the two, I do Fred Jackson. But

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: if you can play a wide receiver in your flex

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: over these guys, that might be the smart decision. How

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: much value does to shark choice? Absolutely zero? None. Interesting

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: story out of St. Louis running back Darryl Richardson was

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: asked by a fan on Twitter Tuesday if he's still

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: starting to which Richardson replied, quote, not this week, man, Guys,

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: this is big news. So who's got fantasy value in

36
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: the Ram's backfield? It's I don't know. I mean, they're

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: they're answering questions on Twitter, and this is a great

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: match up against the Jaguars. But will it be Richardson?

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Will it be Pete? I have no clue unless we

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: find out that one of these guys is going to

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: start and see the Lions chair of the carries. All

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: of them are risked that one time per half the

43
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Tavon Houstin lines up in the back MS have value

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: in their backfield. Right. The Titans confirmed Tuesday quarterback Jake

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Locker has a sprained hip and there is no real

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: major damage to his hip. Joint NFL Networks Albert rear

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Any in rapidport reporting Locker will likely miss the team's

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: next three games, so fabs Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. How

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: does that impact Chris Johnson the team's offense. I don't

50
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: know that it impacts him very much, Elliott. Chris Johnson

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: hasn't been effective at all. Jake Locker has been much better. Uh.

52
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: The Amish rifle is a downgrade though. I think for

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: their wide receivers. Yeah, if you're in trouble wide receiver,

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: maybe you can play Nate Washington. But this is not good.

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: You don't want to be starting Titans right now. Yeah,

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: you gotta hope that Nate Washington knows where the officials

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: are so we can run into them and get more touchdowns.

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: That would really help you anyway, anyway to do it

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: man alright. Bad news for the Chargers. They placed wide

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: out Malcolm Floyd on injured reserve. He left the game

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: with the Eagles week two of the neck injury. Philip

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: Rivers has been getting it done without him. And the

63
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: crazy thing about this guy's is that he's been the

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: number three quarterback and fantasy without having any of his

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers be weapons. Yeah, Vincent Jackson, he's long gone.

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd's been. He's going with Eddie Royal and he's

67
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: going with Keenan Allen and Vincent Brown and a whole

68
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: lot of Antonio Gates. Even the running game hasn't been

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: great outside of Danny Woodhead, but Rivers is making it happen. Yeah,

70
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: Gates is the number one target there. Keenan Allen though

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: look for him. You might stock pilem on his bench.

72
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Rivers was looking for him a lot against the Cowboys.

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: So as far, if you had to pick which wide

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: receiver going forward would have the most value the rest

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: of the season, who is it? I like Keenan Allen

76
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: because he's a young player. As the season progresses, he's

77
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: just gonna get smarter and know what he's doing out

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: there on the that's the most upside, that's for sure,

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: all right. John Jefferson also would be a pretty John Jefferson.

80
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Ian Rappaport reporting Jets white out. Santonio Holmes

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: will means at least two weeks due to the hamstring

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: injury he suffered against the Titans Week four. Stephen Hill

83
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: also expected to miss Monday Night's game against the Falcons

84
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: do with a concussion. So what do you expect tastion

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: for Gino Smith with Clyde Gates and Jeremy Curly starting

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: it wide out? I think Elliott Harrison scores more fantasy

87
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: points on Geno Smith this weekend. I gotta tell you

88
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: right now, the one thing that I love is the

89
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons defense. Go pick them up and start. Then

90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a top five defense against these Jets.

91
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: A little stat for Gino Smith's got eleven turnovers Jason

92
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: in four games. And I know you've seen every one

93
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: of those eleven turn over everyone all over and over

94
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: in my head every suthing after this week. He could

95
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: have fifteen about Falcon's defense and their kicker. Yeah, Oh,

96
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: Matt Bryan to have no doubt and Balpal really the

97
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: only jet with fantasy value right now. You can still

98
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: start him on Monday Night. Now, four teams with buys

99
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: this week, the Vikings, Steelers, Bucks, and Redskins. Let's take

100
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: a look at the top ten players on a buy.

101
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of firepower who will be sitting out

102
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: for you this week. So when we talk about quarterback

103
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: spot starts, you can't start r G three, can't start Roethlisberger,

104
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: can't start pot with starting Ponder anyway. But with four

105
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: guys out here, Fabbs or Elliott, suddenly Philip Rivers is

106
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: a must start. Yeah, Philip Rivers is played as well

107
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: as any quarterback in the National Football League right now.

108
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: He's got a hundred and eighteen passer rating. Okay, his

109
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: lowest pass rating the last three weeks has been one twelve,

110
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: and he's completing over eighty percent of his passes for

111
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: the last three Philip Rivers is playing as good as

112
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Peyton Mannings playing just doesn't have the weapon. And I

113
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: still get tweets people saying, who I start Philip Rivers

114
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: over the number three overall for quarterbacks? You started him

115
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: over a lot of guys and a lot of people

116
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason, including myself. We're poo pooing Philip Rivers,

117
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: especially with the wide receivers that he lacks. You gotta

118
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: give him all the credit in the world. He's protections

119
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: holding up to yes. And now, Michael Fabiano, you are

120
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: back on the Terrell. I would have been on it

121
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: last week if he wasn't out of the game there

122
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: for Matt Flynn, but he's back this week. They're playing

123
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: the Chargers. No team has a lot more Fantasy points

124
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. I love me some TP. I see you

125
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 1: smiling there. Did you really just say I love Lovell Prior?

126
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: He's fantastic Smith. Would you stop? This is a guy

127
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: who's available in a lot of leagues on NFL dot Com.

128
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Pick him up and start him. They are playing at

129
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: what like eleven thirty five Eastern, so they could be

130
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: in their pj's by that point. But I'm still playing

131
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: t P. A of acronyms flying around here, all right,

132
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: running back wise, Now some spots starts. Darrell Scott goes

133
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: from Hey, he's a great story start for the Giants,

134
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: so now he's an ex New York Giant. The running

135
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: game is fully in David Wilson's hands. Elliott can you

136
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: recommend him as well? Let me give you another acronym

137
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: FF Fantasy failure at least for my team. Second round

138
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: for David Wilson. However, he did show a little pop

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs on the road. I spent a second

140
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: round pick on him. I'm starting him against the Eagles.

141
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: That is a bad defense, fads. If you're gonna ride

142
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: him and see if he can give you something, this

143
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: would be the week. If you check out my startup

144
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: and sinnamcom on NFL dot I do, you will see

145
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of players who have done very little this

146
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: season in the stardom portion of the column because of

147
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: the matchups. How about no showan Marino? Yeah Marino, Hey,

148
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: he scored over twelve Fantasy points in two of his

149
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: last three games. He has been very productive. Now, there's

150
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: been some inconsistencies because they'd like to play rock paper scissors,

151
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I guess and determining who's gonna see the goal line

152
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Gary's But against the Cowboys in the game where the

153
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: Broncos are gonna score a lot of points, you could

154
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: do worse than start Marino this week. He's still their

155
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: most reliable back the row shambo backfield all right. How

156
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: about New England ken ball. Tompkins could be a pretty

157
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: nice star for you this week. Well. With Amndolas status

158
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: always being up in the other way it is, Tompkins

159
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: has caught three touchdowns over the last two weeks. I

160
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: watched every down to that Atlanta game. I was very

161
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: impressed with this kid. He gets separation, he will stretch

162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: out for the ball. Basically, he'll sell his body for

163
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: that football over the middle. It's impressive and Tom Brady

164
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: trusts him. How about Josh Gordon? People have questions still

165
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: about this guy. Josh Gordon is a guy who needs

166
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: to be in your line up unless you were absolutely

167
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: stacked at wide receiver. Great matchup against the Bills. They

168
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: have given up fantasy points to wide receiver's hand over

169
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: fist this season. Start Josh Gordon. Justin Blackman, He's back

170
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: from suspension. Pretty big situation here, fat because the Jaguars

171
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: offense has been awful. Now here comes Blackman. He had

172
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: over forty eight targets in the last four games last year,

173
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: and he had a pretty good preseason. Can he hit

174
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: the ground running? I play him. I am playing him

175
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: as a third receiver in one of my leagues. Because

176
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: I've got guys on by the Rams. They've allowed two

177
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: or more touchdown receptions in every game this season, so

178
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: their defense is not good. And I know the quarterback

179
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: position in Axon goll is a mess right now, but listen,

180
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Justin Blackman is a talented kid and he deserves starting

181
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: consideration during the bye weeks, especially when the matchup is

182
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: this good. At the very least, you could stock Polem

183
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: on your bench, see what he does and play him

184
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: later in the season. Tight End wise, Scott Chandler passes

185
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night test for Elliot Harrison. He's a big

186
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: spot start for you. Yeah. Well, Scott Chandler has been

187
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: getting the targets in Buffalo's offense. He's had six targets

188
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: more three times this season against Cleveland. I don't like

189
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: the receivers. I don't like I certainly don't like Stevie

190
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Johnson against Joe Hayden. So where do you go with

191
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the football? How about your big tight end. I think

192
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that's what Manuel is gonna do, and I think this

193
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: guy is a good spot start for you on Thursday Night. Fans,

194
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, we've been waiting for when he's starting to arrive. Yeah,

195
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and he is moving up ranked list at the tight

196
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: end position. This is a kid who has scored double

197
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points in two of his last three games.

198
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: Clearly has that rapport going on with Andrew Luck from

199
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: their time in Stanford and now of course together in Indianapolis.

200
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: So Kobe Fleaner is a guy still available in a

201
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: lot of leagues on NFL dot Com. Pick him up

202
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, who gave up double digit points to

203
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: Garrett Graham last week and the Texas tight ends ye

204
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: Jason with as good as that Seattle secondary is, Andrew

205
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: looks gonna have to go to his backs in his

206
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: tight ends. And you want more Kobe Fleiner, Elliot Harrison

207
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: will be talking to him on the show tomorrow. Get

208
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: some insight on him for this season. All right, now

209
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: for more on the top fantasy adds and drops on

210
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, let's throw it over to Molly Karam

211
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant. Jason, thank you here with NFL dot

212
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grant, and we're gonna take a

213
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: look at the top ten player ads for Week five.

214
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: We always make our tough decisions with rock paper scissors, right, alright,

215
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: looking at this list. Here, let's talk a little bit

216
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: about la Garrett Blunt. Stephen Ridley owners can't be happy.

217
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Second straight game he's rushed for sixty yards. Yeah, last

218
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: week I heard it disturbance in the fantasy forces. The

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: thousands of Stephen Ridley owners pried out and were suddenly silenced.

220
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: Blood is getting a lot of touches, and he's the

221
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: guy who's making plays in that offense. You always worry

222
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,479
Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick and his bell of tricks. Yeah, Lagrette,

223
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: who's getting tough yards. He's running it up the middle.

224
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: You see him here making a big run against the

225
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. He's a guy you pick up and even

226
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: if you don't play him right now, you at least

227
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: stash him on your bench and wait for the opportunity.

228
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Not good for PPR though, No role in the passing game.

229
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: Not much of role in the passang game. Moving on here,

230
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead had a great game against Dallas, his first

231
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: two scores of the season, providing a little spark there

232
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: a third down. So then you talk about guys who

233
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: have been in PPR, Danny Woodhead fits that. Bill. He's

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: one of the top receivers right now in terms of

235
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: receptions on this Charger offense. He's playing with a rejuvenated

236
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and he can run the football as well.

237
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: He's one of those dual threat backs that we don't

238
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: really talk about. We talked about guys like Reggie Bush

239
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: and Darren Sprawls, Danny woodheads falling into that category. Rock

240
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: about fantasy resurgence his quarterback. All right, Marcus, we can't

241
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: discuss the most added without looking at the most dropped players.

242
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Here's the top five most drop players from Week five

243
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: on nfl dot Com and looking at those Joy Bell,

244
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: we were all talking about him, but at this point,

245
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: is he only a handcuff or bench option? Pretty much

246
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: is at this point? I mean you're holding onto him

247
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: thinking at some point Reggie Bush may go down, just

248
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: because that has been his history. But the way that

249
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Lions offense has gone, it's been all about Reggie Bush.

250
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Sure it was great when Bell was getting handoffs and

251
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns, but now you find them. You see getting

252
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: stacked up at the line of scrimmage, not getting a

253
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: whole lot of work, and then the fumble last week

254
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: dropped into just over two points. It's not good for

255
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. Maybe a similar situation here with the Ravens.

256
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Bernard Pierce strained his calf and Sunday's loss to the Bills,

257
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: and the Ravens pretty much have abandoned the running game

258
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: in that game, especially again just a handcuff option to

259
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Ray right. Pretty much. You don't know why the Ravens

260
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: have gone away from the run, but they haven't. He

261
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: got half the tens last week, except that it was

262
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: only nine carries for the entire Ravens bank field. So

263
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: right now, stay away from Bernard Piers. Not a good look. Alright,

264
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: good stuff, Marcus, thank you so much. And coming up

265
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live, the fantasy guru you know, and

266
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano joins us with his stardom systems for Week five,

267
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: you'll be surprised by which down and out quarterback has

268
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: to be in your lineup. And later on, the top

269
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: ten players taken in your fantasy draft haven't exactly lived

270
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: up to the hype. No worries. We take a look

271
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: at what the first round of the draft would look

272
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: like to day. This is the one and only NFL

273
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Molly Caram

274
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: joined by Michael Fabriano and Elliot Harrison. How about a

275
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: little t n F preview the Bills taking on the

276
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Browns on Thursday Night Football. Let's have a look at

277
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: your projections for this game, and we'll start with the

278
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: Bills here. It's not pretty, not at all. Now. The

279
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Browns defense has come out and and become one of

280
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: the best in the National Football League after four weeks thus,

281
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's not just a lot of single digits. It's

282
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: not just their secondaries, their front seven. And the interest

283
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: of full disclosure, Molly Babs and I did not compare notes.

284
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: We did these projections separately. We're both low ball, all right.

285
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: So let's get into the quarterback then, e J Manuel?

286
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: Is he a decent QB two you? I don't like

287
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: EJ Manuel in this game. That Cleveland's defense is just

288
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: playing too well. And again, it's not just a secondary,

289
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: it's the front seven. I don't think he's gonna be

290
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: able to lean on the run game. And I don't

291
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: think Stevie Johnson's gonna give him much either, and that's

292
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: who he needs. Yeah, this is a tough, tough man joke.

293
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Free J. Manuel. If you're in a two QB League.

294
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: He's worth it, but in a ten team, twelve team no,

295
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: speaking of the rook al. Right, now, let's get into

296
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: the running backs here. You mentioned a few questions there,

297
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: the running game looking slow. Head coach Doug Maron said C. J.

298
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Spiller is day to day right now with his ankle injury,

299
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: and he expects Fred Jackson to play after suffering a

300
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: mild MCL sprain last week. How do you handle this backfield? Uh,

301
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: we don't really. This is a situation to avoid because

302
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: Spiller is not ad percent even if he does play.

303
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: Jackson is not a percent. And oh, by the way,

304
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, who we have looked at against running

305
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: backs for years as being a favorable matchup, now they're

306
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: really tough. I mean they're allowing an average under fifteen

307
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game to running backs this season. So Spiller, Jackson,

308
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: these guys are risk reward flex starters at the best,

309
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: real quick to shar choice, not even an option. No, No,

310
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: he had his best game in that was a definite no.

311
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: Number one wide receivers. Here, let's look at this versus

312
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: the Browns season not so hot, and you know why

313
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: because of one Joe Hayden. So we talked about Stevie Johnson.

314
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Probably not the best week to start him with this matchup. Yeah,

315
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson. And oh, by the way, he scored negative

316
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: fantasy points for me last week, so I'm already a

317
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: little soured on him. You should have started I did.

318
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: That's the problem this week. I am sitting him against

319
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden, who has become the new grievous and it's

320
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: face and it's not just Joe Hayden again, it's other

321
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: ten guys on that defense. They're playing great team defense

322
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: there in Cleveland. And oh, by the way, we should

323
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: mention Thursday night football not exactly notorious for high fantasy

324
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: points anyway. Yeah. Also though, just to mention, Stevie Johnson

325
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be healthy with that hammy. He was

326
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: limited in practice on Monday. Al Right, guys, how about

327
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: the brown side of things. Let's take a look at

328
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: your projector okay, good, let's keep things positive here. Break

329
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: it down for me, what are we looking at here? Well,

330
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: we've got three guys at least for me with double

331
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points, and starting with Brian horror there, I

332
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: am playing Brian Horrier in one of my lead in

333
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: the Celebrity League because I have r G three on

334
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: a buy and there's not much on the waiter wire,

335
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: so I'm going with Toyer. Would you believe that only

336
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: four players have scored more Fantasy points at the quarterback

337
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: position than Brian Hoyer over the last two weeks. It's

338
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: a good matchup, It's not a great matchup. And I

339
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: am a little bit worried about what Elliott said Thursday night.

340
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of production. But hey, player has

341
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: been good the first couple of weeks that he started.

342
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: That's not the bill secondary. They're a little banged up,

343
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: but they held up against the Ravens. Yeah, they have

344
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: been very banged up. They're missing three guys against the

345
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: Ravens and they still got five picks. You know you

346
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: have to You're you're committed here. You have to play

347
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Hoyer on Thursday night. I don't want to play on

348
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night unless I'm guaranteed he's gonna have a quality start.

349
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: Might keep him the whole season, all right. Moving on

350
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: to Josh Gordon, He's had great chemistry with Hoyer. Two

351
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns through his last two games returning from suspension by him. Yeah, Well,

352
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: what I like about Josh Gordon here, Fabs and I

353
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: have pretty much the same projections. Fabs just hasn't for

354
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I don't. We both have good yardage. I

355
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: like the twenty eight targets over the last two weeks.

356
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: I love Josh Gordon on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills.

357
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: One of the worst defenses in the league in terms

358
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: of stopping wide receivers. They have made giving up fantasy

359
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: points to that position. Handover fist, Josh Gordon is a

360
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver to this week. The only person who's been

361
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: targeted more is Jordan Cameron, and he is only behind

362
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham among fantasy scorers and tight ends over this

363
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: first month. Right, And here's the thing. A lot of

364
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: times your tight end is gonna get matched up by linebackers.

365
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Cameron can be any Bills linebacker easily.

366
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: And this is who Horrier is looking for in the

367
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: red zone. This is the one Brown that besides Horrior,

368
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: that I have in double digit fantasy points, and I

369
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: feel pretty safe. Starting in third Shud makes another tight

370
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: end to superstar Realizicy Football North Turner two NORV Turner

371
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: using him all over the field, and he made Gates

372
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: uh star when when he was his friends of coordination

373
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: and Jane nobcheck back in the nineties, back in that day.

374
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: Just all that knowledge up there, this one all right,

375
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: good stuff. Guys coming up later on NFL Fantasy Live.

387
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: Jason spent here with Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano

388
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: and Fats. Every week we do a Stardom Sidham column.

389
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: So let's start with your quarterbacks for Week five. But

390
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: let us be very clear, we're gonna recommend a lot

391
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: of people who have not played well this season because

392
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: fats times are tough on these fantasy streets. Yeah, they are.

393
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: And look at the quarterback position. Hey, Michael Vick has

394
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: struggled over the last couple of weeks. Matthew Stafford has

395
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: been pretty good. I like that match up against Green Bay.

396
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: Look at Eli Manning on that list as a stardom.

397
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: They have seven points in the last two weeks. This week,

398
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: I just love the matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Eli

399
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: has thirteen touchdown passes just two interceptions in his last

400
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: four home games against Philadelphia. The Eagles can't stop the

401
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: past and they can't stop the run either. But Eli

402
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: is a very good play. If you have a quarterback

403
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: on a by or if you're number one just hasn't

404
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: been performing. Yes, I said it. In the words of Akbar,

405
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is a good play this weekend. Or Colin

406
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: Kaepernick someone I was a little nervous on him preseason.

407
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: After a whole offseason of trying to figure him out,

408
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: it looks like the league has figured him out. And listen,

409
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks aren't running the ball as much because offensive coordinators

410
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: don't want these guys to get hurt, and that's really

411
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: hurt Kaepernick's production. This is a guy right now who's

412
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: barely in the top twenty five and fantasy points among quarterbacks.

413
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: It's a tough match up against the Texans. I would

414
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: start to roll prior over Kylin Kaepernick this week. Colin

415
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Kaepernick has nearly become a matchup bas quarterback and clearly

416
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: Mrs Michael Crabford. Yeah, how about some running backs starting?

417
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: Since this is this is where the name started. Lacy

418
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: on this list. M j d is on this list

419
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: of Marco Murray. Like I said, Febbs, times of tough again,

420
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: assuming any lay, she's gonna be okay, He's a very

421
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: good start against the Lions. Let's go to Maurice Jones

422
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Drew though, now, Morris Jones Drew outside of that game

423
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: against Seattle where he luked into a touchdown, has been awful.

424
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: But the Rams have allowed more fantasy points to running

425
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: backs than any other team in the National Football League.

426
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: So this is what I'm gonna tell you, guys. Start

427
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Jones Drew this weekend, and if he doesn't do anything

428
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: for you, put him on your bench and leave a

429
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: bear for the rest of the season because he's not

430
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: going to get a better matchup. You have to start

431
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: him with the bias here, Jason, I have Joe Drew.

432
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing him hoping for the best against the Rams.

433
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: Let's give him a good talking to before the game.

434
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: That's right. Speaking of talking, Chris Johnson and the Titans

435
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: doing some fantasy yapping of his own. Here's a tweet

436
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: from him this week. You are the head coach and

437
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: the owner of your fantasy team, so you should be

438
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: mad at yourself. I didn't ask any of you to

439
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: to draft me, so if so, I'm sorry. Why start me? Okay,

440
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: first of all, Chris Johnson has to realize the reason

441
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: people watch the Titans because of fantasy football. But this

442
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: is the guy that's gotta stay off of Twitter fams.

443
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Hey Chris, guess what we're gonna sit you this week? Buddy?

444
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: And this is a bad matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

445
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: They've been extremely good against running backs this season. And hey,

446
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: c J. Two K hasn't even scored double digit fantasy

447
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: points in standard leagues in a game this season. So

448
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: if you have Chris Johnson and you have someone for example,

449
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: like a Giovanni Bernard. I am benching c J two K.

450
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: There I said it. I'm benching c J two K.

451
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: Maybe now he'll have a good game. Who knows? All right?

452
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: Starts at wide receivers to Seawan Jackson, Eric Decker on

453
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: the people still want to know? Do I start? Eric Decker? Yes?

454
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: It was one bad week. Have you got the keen

455
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Knicks on this list again? It's against the Eagles and

456
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the Bioweeks. It's not pretty,

457
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: but these are the matchups, my friend, all right, how

458
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: about Jordy Nelson? Yeah, listen, Jordy Nelson has been one

459
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: of the best bargains in fantasy football based on where

460
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: he's afted nine or more fantasy points in every game

461
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: this season. And I see this game against Alliance being

462
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: an absolute shootout. This could be a thirty five thirty game. Jason,

463
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks go off, the wide receivers go off. Calvin

464
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: goes off, Reggie Bush. Get these guys in your starting lineup,

465
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, even James Jones as a wide receiver.

466
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Three is a nice play. Fabs you have Duyne bow

467
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: was a sit. He's red hot. He finally he scored

468
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: his first touchdown. Since I'm I'm convinced Dwayne Bow hates

469
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: my fantasy team because when I start him, he does nothing.

470
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: When I sit him, he plays well. But I don't

471
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: like the match up against the Tennessee Titans. This is

472
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: a team that's been extremely good defensively, especially at home.

473
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: I think this is a game to avoid Alex Smith,

474
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: avoid Dwayne Bow, avoid Donnie Avery, start Jamal Charles of course,

475
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs defense. But on that, I don't like

476
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this weekend. Let's get to the tight ends

477
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: fad just big starts and sits for week five. Julius Thomas,

478
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: greg Olsen, Antonio Gates back on Let's list, Welcome back

479
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: to the Land of a Living. As far as sight

480
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: n target for Antonio Gates, you got Kobe Fleaner as

481
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: a big sleep alert against Seattle, but fabs Julius Thomas.

482
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: We've gone from BOYD. How is he gonna wind up

483
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: getting the ball in that crowded situation too? He's getting

484
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: the ball every week, I know, and you know last

485
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: week he only had four Fantasy points, but forget about that.

486
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have allowed the most receptions and the most

487
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: yards to tight ends this season. So this is a

488
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: great matchup for Julius Thomas. I like all the Broncos.

489
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: How do you not liked Marius Toomer and West Welker,

490
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: Eric Decker uh and even no Sean Marino. If if

491
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: you need a guy to flex this weekend, or maybe

492
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: even as an RB two, but Julius Thomas right now

493
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: is a top five fantasy tight end. If you've got

494
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: fantasy points for a guy catching touchdowns that looked like

495
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: Owen Daniels but is not Old Daniels, then you would

496
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: do really well. But FABS every week it's Garrett Graham,

497
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: somebody else one of their other tight ends catching touchdowns. Yeah,

498
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: and Owen Daniels his numbers have started to decline. Remember

499
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: we had that huge game in Week one, but ever

500
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: since then he has really seen his numbers dropping. Hey,

501
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are tough on tight ends this season,

502
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: so if you have someone like a Julius Thomas, I

503
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: would certainly bench Owen Daniels this weekend. Now, don't get

504
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: crazy and play Brent Selleck over him. But the fact

505
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: of the matter is that Daniels not only losing targets

506
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: to Gerett Graham, but this is a really tough matchup

507
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: in San franz alright, and don't forget some of the

508
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: defenses to every week this year more than ever, fens.

509
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: It's about matchup based defense. Is the good defense is

510
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: like San Francisco. You're not starting him every week. Seattle,

511
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: you're kind of starting, but still you're holding back. But

512
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense close to a must start as you

513
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: can get. Yeah, I know, the Chiefs defense has been phenomenal,

514
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: and hey, they're going up against Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Amish

515
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: rifle with Jake Locker out for several weeks and the

516
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: defense they've scored seventy three fantasy points. Jason, I mean

517
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: that is unbelievable after four weeks. Now, this is a

518
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: team where you start them weekend. This is this isn't

519
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: even a good matchup against the Titans based on the numbers.

520
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You're starting the Chiefs, and you know what,

521
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: the Titans are a pretty good start too. Titans are

522
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: right up there in the top as this could be

523
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: a low scoring game, but fats is there is there

524
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: a better potential for fantasy point than Monday night in

525
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Valvulay. The Rams against the Jaguars is up

526
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: there too, but the Jets are gonna be without san

527
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Homes, Stephen Hills banged up. They got a rookie

528
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: quarterback who draws the ball to the wrong team the

529
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: Falcons defense, which is available in a lot of leagues.

530
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: On NFL dot Com, I picked him up. I'm starting

531
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: them on their home field. Sorry, Jason, but I love

532
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: this matchup. That's okay. I think Wesley Walker and Kurt

533
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Son are gonna be starting for the Jets on day tune.

534
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: I think he might start a little bit. He could.

535
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: I loved altun We could have had Jerry Rice instead

536
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: of him, but oh well, alright for some Week five

537
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: fantasy sleepers. Now, let's throw it over to Adam Rank.

538
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jason. Every week on an NFL dot Com

539
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: I post my eleven sleepers that could help win you

540
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: your league. Let's take a look at ten of them

541
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: right now. And as you see, Philip Rivers is leading

542
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: the way, and he might say, hey had him. He's

543
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: not a sleeper. He's the number two quarterback in fantasy football.

544
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: And that's true. However, going into Week four against the

545
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. He was available in fifty of league. So

546
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you one last time. Philip Rivers is a

547
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: guy that you want to start. And you also see St.

548
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Louis is heavily represented, and we'll get to that in

549
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, let's talk about Danny Woodhead right now.

550
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: You need a running back. I know the running back

551
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: market is pretty barren right now, Danny Woodhead is a

552
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: guy that you could drop into your league right now.

553
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: His fantasy points have increased in each week of this season.

554
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: He's had at least ten touches in three consecutive weeks,

555
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: and he also had two touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys.

556
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Now I think he might remember Eddie Royal had two

557
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a game and what did you do the

558
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: following week? He scored three. Now, I'm not saying that

559
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead is going to score three against the Raiders,

560
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: but he could. So go ahead and pick him up,

561
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: put him in your roster. Now, if you want a

562
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Kenbrell Tompkins was a guy everybody was excited about.

563
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: Then he had a couple of drops against the Jets

564
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: and then nobody liked him. Well, guess what you can

565
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: pick him up and play him again. His fantasy points

566
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: have increased in each week this season. He had a

567
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: hundred twenties, seven yards and a touchdown against the Falcons.

568
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: He led the Patriots with the eleven targets last week.

569
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: And I understand any Um and Dola will come back

570
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: at some point. Rob Gronkowski will be back at some point,

571
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: but Kemberrell Tompkins is still gonna be a focal point

572
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: of this offense. Go ahead and play them this week

573
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: against the Bengals because that secondary is banged up. Now

574
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: we talked about the St. Louis defense. This is one

575
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: that you plug in this week. Why Jacksonville. That's right.

576
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: Anytime you see a defense going up against Jacksonville, you

577
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: can put them into your lineup because it's Jacksonville. They

578
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: don't do anything very well. They got blame gathers or quarterback.

579
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: So go ahead, pick up the St. Louis defense, And

580
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: you know what, if they're already gone, if somebody savvy,

581
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: that's fine. Don't be afraid to pick up the Titans.

582
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to pick up the Chargers. But St.

583
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: Louis is the one for you to target right now. Now,

584
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: those are my sleepers for Week five? Do you think

585
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: you need one more? All right, I'll give you one more.

586
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Here's what you do. Go to NFL dot com slash

Speaker 1: that's it for me. Thanks for having me. Thanks rank

604
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, Michael Fabiano, and Elliot Harrison. I'm gonna take

605
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: a look back now here was what your draft likely

606
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: looked like preseason. Your top ten average draft position based

607
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. Adrian Peterson went number one, Harriet

608
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: Flowson number two, march On Lynch. Now you start getting

609
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: us some names where, oh boy, Ray Rice, he wouldn't

610
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: be a top ten pick. Doug Martin wouldn't be a

611
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: top ten pick. C J. Spiller wouldn't be a top

612
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: ten pick. Neither would Calvin Johnson or Trent Richardson. A

613
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: guy like Spiller, he's been killing me. I have been

614
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: three leagues. You just gotta hope at some point he

615
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: gets healthy and gets the football a ton. But Doug

616
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: Morone likes to use those couple of running backs. Ray

617
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: Rice also was a guy FABS that we thought we

618
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: knew exactly what it was gonna be. They lose An

619
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: koon Bolden, He's gonna get the lion share that carries.

620
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: He's been a huge disappointed. Yeah, he has been, but

621
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that last week was sort of an epiphany

622
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. They ran the ball nine times against

623
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: an awful Bill's run defense. Now I think they turn

624
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: it around. They run the ball this weekend against Miami.

625
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: We saw what Darren Sproles did to the Dolphins on

626
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. They can't stop the run. This will

627
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: be the week Ray Rice rebounds. You know, it's interesting

628
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: we're showing this video of him running. I think they

629
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: found that in the Red Sea, which because it's it's

630
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: tough to find images of Ray Rice running, haven't. I

631
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: love their game plan pass past pass, pass, pass, pass, run, pass, pass,

632
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: pass pass. I had to go back to the run

633
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: try Richardson. It looks like the Colts are gonna hopefully

634
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: run the football a little bit more Marcus, but he's

635
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: been a huge disappoint The other thing about Trent Richardson

636
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: is if you need one yard, train will get your three.

637
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: If you need five yards, train will get your three.

638
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: That's been the tree with Richardson throughout his career. I

639
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: know he's only in his second season, but the pattern

640
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: of him being a three yard per carry back is emerging.

641
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: It's disappointing, and especially in this offense where he's not

642
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be the focal point of it really concerns

643
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: you if Trent Richardson can't start ripping off long runs

644
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, he kind of becomes an RB

645
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: two at best. Carrin Elliott the good news Doug Martin

646
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: can't disappoint you this week because he's on a boy.

647
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: That's true, and unlike Gray Rice, he is getting the football.

648
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: He's just getting you about a yard and a half

649
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: every time he gets it. But you know, look, you

650
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: solve the problems they had at quarterback with Josh Freeman.

651
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Now they're playing a rookie and Mike Glennon. I don't

652
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: see this turning around for Doug Martin. You've gotta have

653
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: some threat down the field. Why won't defense is just

654
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: play eight in the box all the time. I don't

655
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: see things getting better for Doug Martin until Mike Glennon's

656
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: game to It's all there. You go. There's your big

657
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: disappointments and guys who would slide out of the first

658
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: round and what we project for them the rest of

659
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: the season. You just have to wait in hopax. It's

660
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: hard to trade some of these guys. Now. If the

661
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: draft happened today, if you did a redraft after Week four,

662
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: here's likely what it would look like. Adrian Peterson, Lashawn

663
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: McCoy would jump up to the first part of the

664
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: first round. There's Peyton Manning the season he's having, he

665
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: would be in the top five. Jamal Charles that Forte

666
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: jumps into the top ten. Arian Foster slides down, but

667
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: he's still there, as is Marshawn Lynch. Reggie Bush is

668
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: a top ten pick. So is Drew Brees, and so,

669
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: believe it or not, is Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham, FABS

670
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: and Dave Damish I talked about this earlier in the season.

671
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: He liked Jimmy Grant to take him this high. And

672
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: now it's five overall and Fantasy point. There's four players

673
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: ahead of him in Fantasy points right now. They're all quarterbacks.

674
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable for a tight end to be that good.

675
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: He's unpaced for like twenty something touchdowns and at this point,

676
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: if you drafted him in the second or third round,

677
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: you gotta bargain. This guy is just uncoverable. And we

678
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: saw that again on Monday night. He's with six seven,

679
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: six eight. He's a big guy. Drew Brees knows all

680
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: he needs to do is throw of football up there

681
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Graham nine times out of ten is gonna

682
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: come down with it. He has become just as valuable,

683
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: if not more valuable guys than the number one wide

684
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: receiver in fantasy, and that was Calvin Johnson coming into

685
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: the season. You're not gonna trade him to me, now,

686
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: are you. Nor how about Matt Forte. He was someone

687
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: who was right around the periphery but likely a second

688
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: round pick. Now here he is top five guy. Yeah,

689
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: And it's the way they're using him. I mean, it's

690
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: nice to see him run the football like this, but

691
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: before the season I thought he would catch ninety balls.

692
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: Right now he's averaging five point six per game. That

693
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: translate to exactly ninety catches. When you have a tailback

694
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna run for a thousand yards and catch ninety

695
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: football is for you. That's a first round pick. That's

696
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: the definition of first round pick. Touches. You love to

697
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: talk about touches. This guy's getting touching. He keeps it up.

698
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: You think he keeps it up rust absolutely, absolutely, because

699
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: they're they're not overrunning him either. It's not like he's

700
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: getting thirty carries a game, alright. Reggie Bush is someone

701
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: who if you drafted him in second, third, fourth round.

702
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: You got a bargain four. Now here's take a little

703
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: bit of a left turn. If you have Reggie Busch Marcus,

704
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: you try to trade him. He's it's been four weeks.

705
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: He's had three injuries. Every time he carries the football.

706
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: He could be out for the game. He's not built

707
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: for the long haul. For this kind of responsibility. I

708
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: try to trade him while his value is the highest.

709
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are gonna try to

710
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: deal him. But Sir Reginald Alfred Bush the second is

711
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: doing big thing. Because we knew he could catch the ball.

712
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: But he's running for more than five yards per cherry.

713
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: That's something he really hasn't done in his career. If

714
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: he can keep this up, if he can keep it healthy,

715
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: you can get a lot for him in a trade.

716
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: All right. So those are the guys moving up into

717
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: the first round in your new draft. Time now for

718
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: Engineer to Win. Presented by Volkswagen. We're gonna put a

719
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: minute thirty on the clock and then just let it

720
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: rip go through as many Fantasy Genius questions from fans

721
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: as we can. You guys, ready, all right, first question

722
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: better finished to this season, Tony Romo or Colin Kaepernick.

723
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with Tony Romo. He's got a lot more

724
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: targets he can use in that passing game. Colin Kaepernick

725
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: has been iffy because he's not running the ball as much.

726
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: I like Romo. I'm going Romo too, because the Niners

727
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: aren't letting Kaepernick run with the football. I'm going Romo

728
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: as well. He's not running. He saw their formula first

729
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: access against the Rams. Give it to Frank Gore and

730
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: that committee that has its own subcommittee. He's five running

731
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: backs and he's only thrown one more interception than you

732
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: have this year. Good point. That's Tony Rolloll. Better start

733
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Myers or Garrett Graham. I don't like either one.

734
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Kara Graham's an answery part. At least Brandon Myers is

735
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: a starter. If he's gonna rebound, the Eagles would be

736
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: the good rebound game. I'll go Myers, but I don't

737
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: love the matchup. I don't love Myers this week. Yeah,

738
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm feeling the same way Brandon Myers. I've been driving

739
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: that bust for a while and I'm not quite ready

740
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: to get off yet. All Right, but you're slowing down.

741
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm slow and you're looking for a place to pull over. Alright,

742
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: better flex Nate Washington or Danny Woodhead. For me, it's Woodhead.

743
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: He's the number two die in the passing game in Sandy.

744
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: It absolutely has to be Danny Woodhead. I mean, you

745
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: talked about all the targets that Philip Rivers has. Nobody

746
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: knows where he's going. He's going to Danny Woodhead and

747
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: they're playing the Raiders. It's Danny Woodhead. I'm gonna disagree.

748
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that Ryan fitz Magic is gonna be

749
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: able to create that on the run. He's gonna have

750
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Nate Washington good for a big play,

751
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: all right, Better start Balal Powell or Geo Bernard. Im

752
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: Go Balal Powell. I don't trust Geo Bernard this weekend.

753
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: I blow Powell has been very good when he's played.

754
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna have to run the football in Atlanta.

755
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: Quiet that crowd down. It's close. I like Geo this week,

756
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with blow Powell. I'm gonna go

757
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: with Jio Bernard. I think he can do a lot

758
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: of the things Jack was Rogers did last week against

759
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and I like Geo Bernard. All right,

760
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: there we go. Jeo Bernard and balal Pal both decent starts.

761
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: One thing you worry about Monday night is the middle

762
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: of the second quarter. It's thirty five nothing. Balal Pal

763
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: is not gonna get the foot he catches the ball.

764
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: Maybe okay, maybe that was engineered to win, presented by Volkswagen.

765
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: Coming up right around the corner, Jordan Cameron stops by

766
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: for some one on one and he'll share his thoughts

767
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: on the Brown's upcoming game with the Bills on tn F.

768
00:34:38,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: This is NFL Fantasy Live O Lord five figure this

769
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: one out. Newberry Park stud receiver Baller heads to b

770
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: YU to play basketball, transfers to USC to play football,

771
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: barely gets on the field in his three years, tears

772
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: up the combine, has Blake Griffin co host a brilliant

773
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: video selling his skills, and the Browns take the bait,

774
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: selecting him in the fourth round of the eleven draft.

775
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: Five tds already this season Cleveland out to a two

776
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: and to start, let's bring him on, Jordan Cameron, what's

777
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: happened in Jordan's How are you doing? Thanks? For having

778
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: me doing well. Well, let's let's begin with the season.

779
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Why everything has for some reason click this year. Perhaps

780
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: it clicked in the past, but the numbers, I mean,

781
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: you are on pace to break a legendary record with

782
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: that Brown's franchise. Those nine touchdowns by a tight end

783
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: from Ozzy Newsom. Right now, we're really clicking. You know,

784
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: We've got Brian Hoyer's doing a great job and we're

785
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the opportunities that these defense have been

786
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: given us. And we're a young team. We just got

787
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: to continue to get better each week and learning from

788
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: a mistakes from the sundays. Well, let's stick with Howyer

789
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: then and and what the difference is with you and him,

790
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: because clearly you and we'd tearing it up in the

791
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: preseason as well. You know, he's doing a great job,

792
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: like I said, taking advantage of the opportunities, and uh,

793
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: he's got a great decision making the ability and he

794
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: does he does a nice job of reading the defenses

795
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: and getting the ball out fast. And then he's very

796
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: confident and very confident in the huddle and the way

797
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: he goes about in the way he cares themselves as

798
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: very you know, it's contagious and we feed off that.

799
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm certain that when a number one receiver

800
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: returns to the lineup it opens things up a little bit.

801
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Give us an idea the impact that having Josh Gordon

802
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: on the field has had on this offense. You can't

803
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: help but notice him. The way he runs routes and

804
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: the way he's you know, it's fluidity and they get

805
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: open and stretched the field. It really helps everyone else

806
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: in the field. And I think that he continues to

807
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: make plays and you gotta you gotta do something to

808
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: stop him and that helps everyone else out. Talk to

809
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: us about your coaching staff, specifically North Turner on the offense,

810
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: but your head coach Rocherzinski taking some incoming from his

811
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: former team about the way he ran the offense there.

812
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: What's he doing, what's Norv doing to to put you

813
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: guys in a position to succeed. They do a great

814
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: job and helping us for the preparation and showing us

815
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: the looks and give us a good look during the

816
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: week of practice and putting the right schemes in that

817
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: that will fit the defense we're playing. And we just

818
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: trust what they're doing. They've been doing it for such

819
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: a long time, you know, and they've had some great

820
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: success with the tight ends and in their offenses. So

821
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: it's just kind of just trusting there. What they're saying

822
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: is gonna work. And I think our team has done

823
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: a great job of that. And Jordan, I don't know

824
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: if NFL scouts are gonna start scouting basketball courts to

825
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: find their next tight end. But but but what is it

826
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: about playing basketball that helps this position out specifically? I mean,

827
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: obviously you and Jimmy Grammer tearing up this league and

828
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: you both have a strong basketball background. I think a

829
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with you know, in basketball,

830
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: you use your body a lot. You know, you're you're

831
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: moving in space and you're you're bending and you're moving,

832
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: and I think it helps to help it transitions well

833
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: into football. I think you're seeing that case and stretched

834
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: the field. And same with Jimmy. You know he can

835
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: go up and make plays, go up and get the

836
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: ball at the high point and just you know, hand

837
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: eye coordination you grow up playing basketball, I think it's

838
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: a translate translates really well into football. And I think

839
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing that and you guys like Julius Thomas, you know,

840
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: stretching the field and using their athletic ability onto great mismatches. Now,

841
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure we give credit where

842
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: credit is due to football players. I mean, Blake is

843
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: a stud on the court. He helped you make that video.

844
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Those guys don't like contact. Oh they have no way

845
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: interest in fighting for that ball, do they? I mean

846
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: Lebron and Blake. They could not play tight end in

847
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, could they. I don't know. There's some big boys.

848
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: I think they can get out there and make some play,

849
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: so some fade about on them. So you got Thursday

850
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: Night Football. Your former teammate Robert Woods. He's a Bill

851
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: this rookie season, got a couple of touchdowns, making his

852
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: impact felt right away. Give us an idea about the matchup.

853
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: What do you see in that Bill's defense. They've got

854
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: a great defensive line, great secondary. It's going to be

855
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: a challenge, like every single week, and it's been a

856
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: short week of preparation. I think, you know, we've got

857
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: to just really take to these details and look at

858
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: this and just keep watching film and really look at

859
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the opportunities are gonna give us. And you know, it's

860
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: just a matter of you know, it's like I said,

861
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: a short week, we've got to really, you know, get

862
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: close and get and get our bodies writing and really

863
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: getting this playbook money. Thanks. All right, here's a look

864
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: at the top ten Fantasy tight ends. Jordan's hammeron right

865
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: now at number two. As mentioned earlier, only Jimmy Graham

866
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: has more Fantasy points amongst tight ends. Molly Careen back

867
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: here with Elliott Harrison and Michael Fabriano and guys, let's

868
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: take a look at some Titans on the rise, players

869
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: who've played well so far and some who are just

870
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: heating up right now. We start with Antonio Gates. Don't

871
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: call it a comeback. He looks refreshed under new head

872
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: coach Mike McCoy. I was afraid you're gonna ask me

873
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: about Charles Clay. Uh. Antonio Gates. I'll tell you what.

874
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: The Cowboys could not cover him last week. You saw

875
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: this all game. That's Sean Lee getting burned right there.

876
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: Otherwise it was Bruce Carter. And that's what happens when

877
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: you put inside linebackers on Antonio Gates. But here's why

878
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: I like him against the Raiders, Besides the fact that

879
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: they're the Raiders. Philip Rivers is completing over eight percent

880
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: of his passes the last three weeks, over eighty of

881
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: his past We're talking about an NFL quarterback here. He's

882
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: not going up against you know, Alabama's Teachers College or

883
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: something like that. I gotta tell you, Antonio Gates has

884
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: really shown me something this season. Yeah. Another one we

885
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 1: have our eye on is Julius Thomas. He called all

886
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: four of his targets on sun Day fabs. Yeah, and

887
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have really struggled against tight ends. Thus we

888
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: like Julius Thomas. But it's more than the matchup. This

889
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: kid has been phenomenal. Outside of one bad week in

890
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: the statutes, he's been extremely good. One of the best

891
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: pickups off the waiver wire. Whether or not he came

892
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: from what do you say, Alabama teacher, He's been just unbelievable.

893
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: He's a mustart. But let's mention he is behind the

894
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: in the passing game. The trio of receivers there, there's

895
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: enough to go around. There is enough to go everybody's

896
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: eating a closed mouth. Don't get fed, all right, Kobe

897
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: fleaner here, guys, And he was the number two option

898
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: this week behind Reggie Waite. That's right, Well, he's getting fed.

899
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: He's got two touchdounds the last three. And I'll tell

900
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: you what. Andrew Luck last week completed roughly half of

901
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: his passes to the backs and the tight ends. That's

902
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: good for Kobe Flinner. Remember Dwayne Allen isn't there, and

903
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: they're playing the Seahawks, who have a wonderful secondary. Again,

904
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: are you gonna want to throw it to your wide

905
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: receiver outside against one of their corners? Are you gonna

906
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: want to throw it to their tight end who's occasionally

907
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: going to be covered by a linebacker. I'll take fleaner

908
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: is a linebacker. I think he catches at least five balls,

909
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: and you saw that last week with Garrett Graam, who

910
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown against him. That's right, alright, good stuff, gentlemen.

911
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: We thought quarterback was the only deep position, right clearly

912
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: it was as well. Who knew coming up next? Charles

913
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: Dickens had his great expectations and we have fantasy expectations.

914
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: The players that have exceeded those early season expectations. Who

915
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy Live returns lots of expectations to go around.

916
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Jason Smith here with

917
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: all the guys, and we're a quarter of the way

918
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: through the fantasy season, so let's take a look at

919
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: the top ten surprises thus far in Fantasy. Some names

920
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: up here that we had question marks on and here's

921
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: who have come through for yourself far. Philip Rivers, Michael

922
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, and Alex Smith. The quarterback the chief defense

923
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal. Jordan Cameron, the number two tight end

924
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: in the game. Reggie Bush. We're gonna talk about him.

925
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: The Sean Jackson, No, Sean Marino, Julius Thomas, Jordy Nelson

926
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: who finally is healthy for a little bit. But guys,

927
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: Alex Smith facts we did. We thought he'd be a

928
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: decent number two quarterback, but now he's the number one.

929
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: Well he's number one based on points. I still don't

930
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: trust Alex Smith because he doesn't like to go deep.

931
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: He throws a lot of these dinks and dunks. But

932
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: so far his numbers have been top ten at the

933
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: quarterback position. You can't argue with that. But again, he

934
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: is not going to be my QP. One. It's the

935
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Jason a hundred and fifty one rushing yards

936
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: to four games. That's big time production. That's why he's

937
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: been a surprise. And I'll throw myself under the bus.

938
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. Elliott I said, I like Reggie Bush,

939
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: but I would look to trade him. How do you

940
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: feel about Bush? What he's done. You know the fact

941
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: that he can stay relatively healthy is the entire key

942
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: with his production. But you knew when he went to

943
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: the Lions that they wanted to use and because of

944
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: the black hole, they've had their running back the last

945
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. The other great thing about Reggie bushes

946
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: eatn catch the football, and you're hoping down the stretch

947
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: that they really involve him even more in the past game.

948
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: You're confident that he can keep it up. Yeah, I

949
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: actually I am confident you can stay healthy. Even if

950
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: he loses rushing yards, I think will catch the football

951
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: to make up for it. Marcus Chief's defense, they've gone

952
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: from Hey, the Chief's defense is a nice play too.

953
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: You're playing the Chief's defense every week. You are absolutely

954
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: play in the Chiefs defense every week, and they're getting

955
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: it done, not only shutting down offenses, but they're getting

956
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: turnovers as well. I mean, you see Eric Barry in

957
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: that secondary kind of leading things but justin Houston is

958
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: a name you get to need to know. Tom bahallid Ontaripo.

959
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: Those guys up front are really getting it done, and

960
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: you have to respect what the Chiefs are doing on defense.

961
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Tombahali has got more pressures than any outside or any

962
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: rusher period in pro football. And you said the key

963
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: it's getting takeaways. It's not just having suffocating defense and

964
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: fas it's playing matchup every week. But the Chiefs has

965
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: been pretty good, very good. One of the best waiver

966
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: wire pickups of the year so far. Wow, really right

967
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: up there for you. You never even talk about defense.

968
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm just dead all right. That's around. Fantasy fans join
