1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to NFL Fantasy Life presented by Foes,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the National Football League.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: James co here alongside NFL dot Com seen your fantasy

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: analyst Michael Fabian, a great show in front of us today.

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, so we're gonna talk Thursday Night football in

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: just a moment, and Mike, you reveal more of your

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: starts and sists of the week as well. Yeah, I

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: have a couple of players in there that you think

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: are must starts, but maybe not not. That's called the tease,

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: my friend in our business. All right. One of your

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: top headlines for the day News out of Tampa this week,

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: running back Doug Martin was a full participant in practice

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: this week. Nothing definitive, but it does appear as if

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: he won't play in Week four. Fabs Week one nine

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: carries nine rushes. How confident are you playing him this week? Well? Confident?

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but you do have six

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: teams off this week, true, and it's a good matchup.

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: The Steelers have not been good against the run and

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: they're down a couple of linebackers as well. So if

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: he plays for the Buccaneers, he's probably gotta for you,

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: even if it's just a flex star. Do you think

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: he's in a time share with Bobby Royney. No, I

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: think he'll be the guy as long as he's healthy.

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I think Martin is going to be the guy in

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: that backfield. Interesting alright, So we're gonna have much more

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: headlines in just a bit as well. But first, it's Thursday,

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: so we gotta talk Thursday Night football. A big game

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: for the NFC East Giants on the road, taken on Washington. Oh,

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: thank you kindly, my friend. Yes, tonight, Rashawn Jennings looks

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: to continue his hot streak on Thursday night in the

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: Nation's capital. Well, Kirk Cousins and the Redskins looked to

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: jump on that giants shaky defense. Malleycaram teamed up with

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: Adam Rake and Elliott Harrison, so two NFC E st

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: opponents facing off outside of DC tonight and Kirk Cousins

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: was one of Fantasy's hottest pickups this week. Which quarterbacks

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: would you start over him in Week four? That's a

37
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: good question because I don't want to give him the

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: case of the starters club just yet. But when you

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: look at some of the names like Tony Romo. I

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: would start Cousins over him. I'd start him over Cam

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: Newton and even Tom Brady is tough as it is

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: to admit at this point in my life, yes, I

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: would be starting Kirk Cousins over Tom Brady. And really

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: the big reason why is because Cousins looks like the

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: perfect fit for j Gruden's offense. We've been talking about

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: this for the last two weeks, that this is a

47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: guy who just seems his accuracy just lends himself to

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: this offense, similarly to the way Andy Dalton did when

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: he was there in Cincinnati. So again, a great pick up,

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: but not somebody. I'm not starting him over Philip Rivers.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not starting him over Nick Foles or anything like that,

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: but some of those other big names. Yeah, I feel

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: feel pretty pretty confident with him tonight. And as you mentioned,

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: not only is he accurate, he's decisive and that's god

55
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: to help Pierre Garcelan's productivity, right, Elliott for sure. And

56
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: when Adams says at this point in his life, I'm like, wow,

57
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: this is really got heavy. Well, I guess at the

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: junct shirts that I'm at in my personal stage. Pierre Garzon,

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna go with a hundred and eighty

60
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: one targets, is tied for the most among all wide

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: receivers since the start. That's what we call volume play.

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: So really you should be starting this guy with everybody. Now,

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: looking at my own bench, I'm not really wanting to

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: play Victor Cruz over guy like here at our son.

65
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Even Keenan Allen makes me wonder. Alfred Morris is just

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: tremendous at home, Adam, Oh yeah, oh my god. You

67
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: remember the time of our lives when he was a

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: goal line back. It was two weeks ago, but it

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: was one of the special moments, and you talk about

70
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: a young man's transition into adulthood. This was in But

71
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: of course Freddie Morris great. He's great in between the tackles,

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: and as you said, he's great at home. Eleven touchdowns

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: in his last eleven home games, so hopefully he punches

74
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: one in here against the Giants tonight. But again, he's

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys you start weeking a week out.

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic play. I have no problems with him.

77
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Do you guys make me smile so silly? All right?

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Your projections here for the Washington Redskins. Tell me, gentlemen,

79
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: where are we degree agreeing, agreeing and disagreeing. Let's try

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: that again, and pretty much looking pretty similar except for

81
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. They're big discraptant. I guess I haven't getting touchdown,

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: that's all. That's the big thing to me is that

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I just don't have them projected as a touch And

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I hope, you know, for all the fantasy enthusiast and

85
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: I have him in the league too, I'm just not

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's the Redskins. I'm just not confident about.

87
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I get you're not getting a ride in his sweet car. No, No,

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I've never been in Bentley. But it's someday, someday, all right.

89
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: For the Giants, for Sean Jennings has been by far

90
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the team's most consistent Fantasy contributor. Does that trend continue tonight, Elliot?

91
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Another crew day for him? What do you think? Yeah?

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's one Giant that you need

93
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: to play a visiting team on Thursday night. This is it.

94
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: You know, as a man gets older at him sometimes

95
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: he's workload and responsibility increases, and I think that's what's

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: happened here with Sean Jennings. He got a little bit older,

97
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: and now he's giving twenty two point seven carries per game.

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Remember when you were at eight, he's at the two points.

99
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: He's a young that's the great thing. Who is But seriously,

100
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: twenty three carries a game. Who gets twenty three carries

101
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: a game anymore? And once again, just like Carsona, volume play,

102
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: this is your best option at him for a Giants

103
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: player on Thursday night. Very true, because I don't want to.

104
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to jinx things. I'm sorry to cut

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: you off, but we need to get into Victor Cruz here.

106
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: But the Giants have found a passing game. The only

107
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: problem is is if they have found a passing game,

108
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't play any of the Giants passing participants

109
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: in this game because if you look at them, when

110
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: you look at his history against the Redskins, it's not

111
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: very good. He's thrown for more than one touchdown passing

112
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: a game against the Redskins once in his entire career.

113
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: So I can't really trust the Cruise is going to

114
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: do it. So I guess. So leads the team in

115
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: receptions and targets one Larry Denelle. Yeah, Larry Dennell. It's

116
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: funny how guys become like well known because of fantasy.

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen years ago, nobody would know who Larry

118
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Dennell is, and now we're talking about him every week.

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: He was a school. It's like this dude is Antonio

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: Gates at Aunty Newsom and Mike Dick all put together.

121
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't have huge projections for him. I think visiting

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: teams on Thursday night, Adam, the data is their fantasy

123
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: points are generally suppressed. It's got to be suppressed somewhere

124
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: if it's not gonna be Rashaan Jennings, And where is

125
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: it going to be? I think the tight end position. Yeah,

126
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: this is like story time with Adam, Ellie and Molly

127
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: at the public library. All right, here is the Thursday

128
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: night football productions for the new YE Work Football Giants. Guys,

129
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: what am I seeing here? We're pretty pretty similar here,

130
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: YEA no touchdown receptions for Cruise or Dennell, and then

131
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Jennings the one doing the lion share of the moving

132
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the ball between the twenties possibly getting into the end zone.

133
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: And as I say every week, I enjoy when you

134
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: guys agree, because then it makes my life easier making

135
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: these decisions. All right, if we want to go Adam

136
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: ring danger zone status here, people, who's a sleeper you

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: can think about a plugging into this matchup Niles Paul.

138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: If you have some troubles with the tight end position,

139
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: which a lot of us do, Niles Paul is a

140
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: pretty good option. Dwayne Allen Dwayne Allen's number one, but

141
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: Niles Paul would be my number two. I like the

142
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Redskins defense. You know, we talked about the Giants having

143
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: suppressed fantasy points on a Thursday night. I think the

144
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: Redskins defense is somebody can go to the waiver wire

145
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: right now, plug in play, especially if you're one of

146
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the teams like the Bengals, Broncos, Browns, Rams, Cardinals on

147
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: on a buy And if you're gonna be one of

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: those people who just shuffles in the defenses each and

149
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: every week, defaulting to the Thursday night home team, is

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be a great options. Yeah, no question there.

151
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: And you guys know I'm looking forward to this one

152
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: before we go anything else. You're really excited about here,

153
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: just our development as older gentleman. Let's move on, all right, tonight,

154
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: many in the Giants take on news Starter Kirk Cousins,

155
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris and the Redskins. Football starts here, Giants, Redskins.

156
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: That's tonight ap M E. Sterned live on NFL Network,

157
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: and be sure to tune into US Fantasy Live again

158
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: tonight too, Amy Stern. For all the fallout from TNF James,

159
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: it's all you, my friend. All right, thanks guys. Let's

160
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: turning attention to the last headlines once again as we

161
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: look ahead to the weekend. Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach love

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Me Smith said that there's a good chance at quarterback

163
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon will start Week four. Josh McCown is going

164
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: to be recovering from a thumb injury. The Box are

165
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: taking on the Steelers, who are missing several key defensive

166
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: players as well. FABS, what do we expect with the

167
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Bucks offense with Mike Glennon at the helm, Well, I

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: think they're gonna run the ball a lot with Doug

169
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Barton assuming he plays. Maybe this is a good thing

170
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: for Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, although I wouldn't start,

171
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: they're one of these guys this week because Josh mccon

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: was not good again a product of Mark Trustman system

173
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: last year, a journeyman quarterback for most of his career.

174
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: So maybe this is a good thing for that Buccaneers

175
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: past tech, we'll see not playing Vincent Jackson. That's a

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: tough pill to swallow. Man on the road, he has

177
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: not been good and honestly, he hasn't been good anywhere

178
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: so far this season. Absolutely a big time disappointment. All right,

179
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: let's head to Miami where the magic between Dolphins head

180
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: coach Joe Fielding the quarterback Ryan Tannehill all seems to

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: be dwindling a little bit. Yeah, Tannehill says he expects

182
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: to start fams. Whether it's Tannehill or even Matt Moore.

183
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: Does it matter when it comes to Mike Wallace or

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. I don't think so. I'd still rather see

185
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: Tannehill in there. Has got a bigger arm, and I

186
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: think there's more upside with him. Wallace is still gonna

187
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: start as a number two or three. Lamar Miller same thing,

188
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: RB two flex starter. It's a really good matchup for

189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Miller against the Raiders. They have not been good against

190
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: the run this season. Overall, I've been pretty impressed with

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Bill Laser's offense. Have you well, so far, so good

192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: in terms of scoring fantasy points, right, Mike Wallace has

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: been good. Lamar Miller has been pretty good. But the

194
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: quarterback position, which I thought would be much better, Tannehill

195
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: we're speaking about. He has not really played up to

196
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: par from a fantasy perspective. He's not scoring points. And oh,

197
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: by the way, before he got hurt, No Sean Moreno

198
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: was also performing admirably as well. In Houston, Texas head

199
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: coach Bill O'Brien said this week, running back Arian Foster

200
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: will likely be a dreaded game time decision, and as always,

201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: we'll have the latest on his data Sunday morning on

202
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Be sure to watch us there in

203
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: the meantime. How should his owners handle this situation? Alfred

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: Blue exactly, don't turn my brown eyes blue. You've got

205
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: to pick him up, ef Arian Foster. Here's the good thing.

206
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: The Texas play early on Sunday, So if Arian is

207
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: a late and active in that in afternoon game, well

208
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: you can plug in Alfred Blue, or you can plug

209
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: in another running back that you may have on your roster,

210
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: because uh, they're going to be plenty of those guys.

211
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: It's not a late game, so you're not so hamstrung

212
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: by that late game hamstrung. Yes, right, Arian Foster, there

213
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: you go. Uh you know, I trying to throw it

214
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: in there and see if you wouldn't catch it. But

215
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: you did. It's pretty good. Listen, Let's say he is

216
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: a play we're talking about Arian Foster. Are you Are

217
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: you still comfortable playing him? I gotta play him. He

218
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: is one of the few featured backs around the National

219
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: Football League, and if the Texans are confident enough for

220
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: him to play with his hamstring injury, I think you

221
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: gotta play him as well. He's going to see a

222
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: lot of touches in the contests bye week feeling. I

223
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: tell you what, if there weren't so many teams on

224
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: the by, I'm scared to play him. But you're right.

225
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: If he's in, you gotta play six teams off. You

226
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: gotta play him absolutely, all right. One more thing to

227
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: keep in mind. Week four marks the start of bye

228
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: weeks across the league. In it in that van of wapping,

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: six teams are not in action this week with Cardinals, Bengals, Browns, Broncos, Seahawks, Ramps.

230
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys, Joe Bernard not playing even Broncos,

231
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Tomarius Thomas, Juliet not playing, Russell Wilson, Russell

232
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: Lynch not playing, Zach Stacy out of there as well,

233
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: and of course for some good bye week fill ins,

234
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a look at the way for wire

235
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: later on in the show. You don't want to miss that. Plus,

236
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: some of the game's best have some of the worst

237
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: match ups this Sunday. Do you play them versus tough

238
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: defenses or is the risk too great? We're helping you

239
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: sort you that in Week four. But first, who's the

240
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: better running back for Week four? Struggling starter Frank Gore

241
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: or we have a wire picked up, Donald Brown. It's

242
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: an interesting question. We're gonna debate it on NFL Fantasy

243
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Live continues tomorrow. Sean Taylor was a promising young star

244
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: who played with Reckless Abandoned, but an unspeakable tragedy took

245
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: him before his time. Sean Taylor of Football Life Tomorrow,

246
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: nine pm. E Stern only on NFL Network. Time Now

247
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: for Coaching Decisions, presented by Lenovo. Hello again and a

248
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: little over three weeks into the season, You've got some

249
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: fantasy coaching decisions to make. Do you start an early

250
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: season pickup or one of the struggling stars you spent

251
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: a draft pick on. Fabis, we start with you in

252
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: the backfield. Are you going with your guy Donald Brown,

253
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: who you've hyped all week, or the old faithful Frank Gore.

254
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: I do like Gore this week, but I like Donald

255
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: Brown Moore. This is a great match up against the Jaguars.

256
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: They've given up more fantasy points to running backs than

257
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: any team in the National Football League, so you would

258
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: figure more people would go out and pick up Donald Brown.

259
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: But he's still available in about NFL dot Com. League's

260
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: guys pick him up. Now we have six teams on

261
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: a buy. This running back has a better matchup than

262
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: anyone else in this position. I'm starting them in several

263
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: leagues this week. Get him active against the Jags. Yeah,

264
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: and forget the matchup. Also, Woodhead and Matthews both banged up,

265
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: so a huge opportunity for him to get the bulk

266
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: of the carries. Let's move on to the wide receiver position. Elliott,

267
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: who would you start, Kelvin Benjamin or t Y Hilton. Well,

268
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I love me some t Y. I think He's still

269
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna end up having a great fantasy year even if

270
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: he's off to a slow start. But I like Calvin

271
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Benjamin in this game. Calvin Benjamin, he's a great target

272
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: because even when he's covered, he's open. He's a size

273
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: mismatch for defensive backs. They have no problem going to him.

274
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: And I was just talking to Adam off camera, Man,

275
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: what if this team and kept Steve Smith and had

276
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Benjamin and Greg Olson had tied end. I think the

277
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: Ravens have some struggles back there. Then given up almost

278
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: six hundred yards to wide receivers, and they played the Browns.

279
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: They played the Steelers, so you have Antonio Brown, but

280
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: those teams aren't loaded at wide receiver. Ravens have had

281
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: some troubles in the secondary. Yeah, but Calvin Benjamin clearly

282
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: Cam's go to guy there. Let's move on to the

283
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: tight end position. Are we going with Duyne Allen? Would

284
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: you start Joyne Allen or Jason Witten? I'm going with

285
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: Dwayne Allen, And the whole thing that I'm on the

286
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: basis on is production. Dwayne Allen has been one of

287
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: the most productive tight ends this season. As you see,

288
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: he's had a receiving touchdown in three of his last

289
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: four games played. And he is the guy that Andy

290
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: luck Is looking for when they get near the red zone.

291
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: So and you compare him to Jason Witten, who just

292
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: hasn't put up the production. He's only being started in

293
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: name value. If you've just looked at the numbers, you

294
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't hesitate to put Dayne Allen into your lineup. And

295
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: he's available in a lot of fantasy leagues. And you

296
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: look at all the guys who are injured or struggling

297
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: this season, and to think that Dwayne is still out there,

298
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: it's it's mind boggling. And here are some of the

299
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: other guys are top ten tight ends heading into this week.

300
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: Of course there I have. I have Dwayne Allen a

301
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: little bit higher on my list. Martellis Bennett is another

302
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: great start zachert. Greg Goldson is another guy who stands

303
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: up to me. To your point, Elliott, I really believe

304
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna do whatever they can to shut

305
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: down Calvin Benjamin. They're gonna stick up for triple s.

306
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: So Greg Elson for us, all right, great plays there

307
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: at the tight end position with all the boys. This week,

308
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the wide receivers. Elliott, who's kind

309
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: of standing out to you entering a week four here? Well,

310
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I can't lie to you, Molly traumatic pause. I'm ready

311
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: for this? Are you sure you're ready for you? I'll

312
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: tell you what I see these guys, and I think

313
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: it's dead. I mean, Calvin Johnson against the Jets is

314
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: a great matchup. The Jets secondary is obviously awful, but

315
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: we can pick Megatron every week. I like Des Brian,

316
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: I like helu Jones on the road, even with Matt

317
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Ryan's poor road numbers, and I always like al Shan

318
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Packers can be had on the back end. I'm

319
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: with you with Des though that New Orleans secondary hasn't

320
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: been great here in fantasy. And we'll hold on to

321
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the running back spabs. Who are you liking Alfred Morris, Uh,

322
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: He's He's way at home, Eddie Lacy. We have him

323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: ranked very highly despite the fact that he's done nothing

324
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: this year. That's because of the matchup against the Chicago

325
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Bears and Arian Foster. It's likely you're gonna be a

326
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: game time decision. So if you have Arian Foster, make

327
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: sure you also pick up Alfred Blue and be insured

328
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: at that position. Let's not forget Matt Forte owned Green

329
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: Bay the last couple of years. And we move on

330
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: to the quarterbacks. Here we have Drew Brees at Dallas.

331
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: That's got to be a nice play, guys, especially that matchup,

332
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: that defense struggling and Andy luck As. I'm just gonna

333
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: follow suit with you here against Tennessee. Alright, good stuff, guys.

Speaker 1: right back with you on NFL Fantasy Life presented by

356
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Bose guys. When we look through Fantasy Genius or on

357
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: our Twitter account, we get a bunch of questions about quarterbacks,

358
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: always quarterbacks, especially during these bye weeks. Complicating matters further

359
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: is that two big name NFC South qbs have only

360
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: struggled away from home. Here, take a look at Matt

361
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Ryan's numbers last four home and road games. At home

362
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: a statistical monster, but look at those interceptions, let's turnovers

363
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: he has on the road. So fantasy points per game

364
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty at home, fourteen on the road not good. Look

365
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: at Drew Brees, I mean, this is a stark contrast.

366
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Five points at Breeze didn't even average sixteen fantasy points

367
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: in his first two games on the road this year.

368
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: It's crazy, uh. And we're almost at the point now

369
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: where you do have to ask a very difficult question

370
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: considering the price that you've paid for these guys, can

371
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: you play Breeze or Ryan or how comfortable are you

372
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: playing them on the road. Well, Breeze, I think is

373
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: a different situation than Matt Ryan. I know he hasn't

374
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: been good on the road, but they're playing at Cowboys.

375
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: You can't bench a quarterback playing in the Dallas Cowboys

376
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: unless you know, maybe it's Ryan Tannehill or someone like that.

377
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: But Breeze is a guy that you've got to roll

378
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: with here. You've got to roll with him in what

379
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: could be a high scoring game. Look Atlanta's on the

380
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: road versus Minnesota. Last year, the Vikings were the absolute

381
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: worst defense, uh, in terms of quarterbacks. They gave up

382
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty two points per game on average. The Saints on

383
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: the road versus Dallas, guess what last year they were

384
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: the second most forgiving defense to quarterbacks. So again, when

385
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: we talk about Matt Ryan Elliott, how comfortable are you

386
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: playing him this week versus totally totally comfortable? I mean,

387
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: I get what you're trying to say here, but but

388
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense played a Patriots team that got turnovers

389
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: and ran the ball. So yeah, Tom Brady didn't have

390
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards because he didn't need to.

391
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: Saints were in control of that game last week. They

392
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: didn't need Drew Brees to throw for five hundred yards.

393
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings secondary can be had by Matt

394
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Ryan and those receivers. Us. They don't have a running

395
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: game in Atlanta. You know, I'm not really gonna do

396
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: go to Stephen Jackson all the game. Of course he's

397
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball. I don't worry about it. But

398
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: they do have a three headed rush. They're gonna springfield

399
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: Your mind out of this should say, all, let's talk

400
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: about Jay Cutler. He's the fourth high scoring quarterback in

401
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: fantasy right now. Pretty surprising, but can he keep it up?

402
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: And we'll go to our Chicago guys. Did so surprising

403
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: that Jake Cutler is sitting there with Mark Tressman and

404
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: putting up huge numbers when he's got Brandon Marshall and

405
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: al Sean Jeffrey and here Martellis Bennett catching touchdowns. Oh yeah,

406
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: by the way, Matt Forte is their running back. I

407
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: don't I don't get it. I mean, I understand people.

408
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: They look at the smoking Jay Cutler memes and make

409
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: fun of him and think he's a jerk. But you

410
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: know what all the guy does is put up Fantasy

411
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: points and this team is just going to continue to

412
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: get better. They do have they You've got a couple

413
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: of tough games got coming there. Schedule makers did them

414
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: no favors in the coming weeks. But at the end

415
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: of the season, this guy is gonna be blowing doors

416
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: off Fantasy League titles. Well, it's interesting because I think

417
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: Elliot and maybe you can chime in here, but when

418
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: you watch the real life games, he struggles for long

419
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: stretches and games, but Fantasy y he does Okay, So

420
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: I guess that's the question. Can he sustain this Fantasy

421
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: X Well? I agree that with Adam that people and

422
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: sold him like they had sold him for his hair,

423
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: not ever sweating. I can't think of whatever, analyst, he

424
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: looks like he's in a shampoo commercial. Like everything in

425
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, like they even play. I had that

426
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: aside when you had big red zone targets like he does.

427
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: He's got three trees running around out there. Think about it, Marshall, All, Sean, Jeffrey,

428
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: and Bennett are all size advantages for the offense. Also,

429
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: I get a Matt Forte is not having a great year,

430
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: but you know what, teams also load up to stop

431
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: Matt Forte as soon as they start playing, and dime,

432
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: guess who's gonna start having great fantasy production Matt Forte.

433
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and his bolow are the seventh high scoring

434
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback in the game right now, ahead of Breeze,

435
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: ahead of Aaron Rodgers, ahead of Matt Stafford. The Chargers

436
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: at home versus Jacksonville. Uh, here's a good question for

437
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: your fabs. Would you feel comfortable playing Rivers over Breezes

438
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: this week? I actually would feel comfortable because I really

439
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: like this matchup. I would start Rivers and sit the

440
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Bolo tie. I'm not into that whole thing, but what

441
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: a matchup this is against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have

442
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot more fantasy points quarterbacks than any other team

443
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Rivers three passing touchdowns and

444
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: three of his last war home games. To me, this

445
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: is a no brainer. You start Philip Rivers. It's funny.

446
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers tweeted me, Tom, he's not into your express,

447
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: so he's not Roethlisberger. I like, yes, well, hey, listen,

448
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: a great real life quarterback not so much in fantasy.

449
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: Might surprise some people because he's a big name guy,

450
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: but he's currently your twenty number twenty fantasy quarterback Elliott.

451
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: Can he recover? I think that he can because he's

452
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: playing at a high level in reality and no words,

453
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: we're not talking about someone who's struggling in reality. We're

454
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: trying to make him a fantasy quarterback. This is kind

455
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: of a Troy Aitman can under him. Troyman was a

456
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: great quarterback, terrible fantasy quarterback. How do you expect Ben

457
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger to put up big numbers in Carolina when the

458
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: running game is running for two bills? It's kind of

459
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: hard to do that today. I think Tampa Bay is

460
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: a good matchup. It's not a great matchup. I don't

461
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: see Roethlisberger going off for twenty five points, but will

462
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: he get you that at least that viable fifteen or over.

463
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: I think that he went touchdown passes in his last

464
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: four home games against the NFC, though he could give

465
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: you a twenty interesting Eric Blunt are running crazy? It

466
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: will limit all right, Fantasy owners really need help at

467
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: tight end this week as well. If your tight end

468
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: is injured or on a buy, what can fantasy owners

469
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: do to fix up that spot? Well, there's a number

470
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: of guys you can go to if you look at

471
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Duyne Allen is one of the ones

472
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: that jumps off the page. And he also got guys

473
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: like Niles Paul and you know, people like that if

474
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: he played, you know so. Dwayne Allen, though, stands out

475
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: to me. We always had that romantic sized version of

476
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: what was going to happen when Kobe Fleaner and Andrew

477
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: Law college teammates were gonna get together. But once once

478
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: he got to Indianapolis, it was all Duayne Allen. Dwayne

479
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: Allen's the better athlete. How about Dennis Pitt and now

480
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: lost for the season. Owen Daniel steps in, He's already

481
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns and seems to have an okay report. Oh,

482
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: by the way, Greg Kubiak, the offensive coordinator there his

483
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: head coach in Texas. How much you know shooting fantasy

484
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: owners rely on Owen Daniel Fabbs Honestly, I mean, I

485
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: like Dwan Daniels like three years ago, but I know

486
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: he's going to see more targets in this offense. But

487
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: number one, this is a bad match of the Panthers

488
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: have not a lot of receiving touchdown to tight ends

489
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: all year long. They have a lot two or fewer

490
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: even touchdowns in eight of their last nine road games,

491
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: and so that just doesn't vote well for Owen Daniels.

492
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: The target is going to be there, they could be,

493
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: but I think you can find better options off the

494
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Like like Rank said, Dwayne Allen is a

495
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: better option I believe this week, uh than than Owen Daniels.

496
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: He's worth picking up. I'm not playing him this week.

497
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't sleep on Delaney either. Play Also, Whitehurst is

498
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback I know, no ut down Charlie to the

499
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: tight end. Listen still to come. We're getting a set

500
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: for the weekend with Michael Fabiano starts and sits. You

501
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: don't want to miss his list of guys. He says

502
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: you have to sit on Sunday and if your roster

503
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: needs a boost in the form of a fantasy free agent,

504
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: got you covered there as well. Our top spot starts

505
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: and Lord. NFL Fantasy Live returns, and here's a look

506
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: at some normal players on a by the top ten.

507
00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: Here Marshawn Lynch, Giovanni Bernard, and that I'm going to

508
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: be playing teams that have Peyton Manning this week. Yeah,

509
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: it's a good week to play those teams. Yeah, you're

510
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy that. So who can step up to replace

511
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: those stars? Time to hit the waiver wire, guys. At

512
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: this point, there's a lot of targets are gone, but

513
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: there's still some in the free agent pool, fabs. Who

514
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: can you pick up and play this week? Well, I'm

515
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: surprised that Kyrie Robinson is still available at about half

516
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: of NFL dot com leagues, which is amazing to me.

517
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: He's a starting running back in the National Football League.

518
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: During a week when you have six teams on a buy,

519
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: he's playing against the Cowboys. I really like Pierre Thomas

520
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: in this contest, but Robinson is also a really good play.

521
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: He could be a low RB two and he's definitely

522
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: a flex starter against this Alice defense. Great matchup for him,

523
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: And uh rank, you're going with the Steelers number two

524
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: guy there, who also has a great matchup. Yeah, I

525
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: hate to be that guy who watched the Buccaneers get

526
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: smoked on Thursday Night Football last week and be like, oh,

527
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: I've got to start a Steelers receiver this week, and

528
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: yet here I am starting Marcus Wheaton. But I do

529
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: like the matchup, of course, because the Bucks have allowed

530
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: so many fantasy points this season. But I really do

531
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: like the upside of Wheaton because when you're in these

532
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: type of situations, that's what you're looking for. Who's got

533
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, who's got a good matchup, and who's

534
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: got a lot of upside. Wheaton's got all three. And

535
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: again in weeks where you're really missing out on some

536
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: of those big names, I'm uncomfortable sliding them in there.

537
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: Big bands playing well too. And Elliott, you like the

538
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: Jets here against the line, like the Lions defense. But

539
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: let me get all, I like the Jets to give

540
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: the ball away. Yes, yeah, Sometimes trying to pick a

541
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: defense is like the Kobe Ashi Maru. You know, for me, Adam,

542
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm just just saying, but the Lions, Yeah, the Kobyashi Maru.

543
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's a real test trying to pick out

544
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: the right fantasy defense to play. But I like Detroit

545
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: on the road. I just think that Gino Smith has

546
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: had the propensity to turn the ball over. And you

547
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: have to play the percentages. I know, Fabs, you're big

548
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: on playing the trends. Lions run defense great, right, so

549
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to run Chris Ivory twenty

550
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: five times in the line, which means Gino is gonna

551
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: have to make plays. It's more about sick being prone

552
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: to turnover. You gone and done and inconsistency. Alright, let's

553
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: get into some players who have Week four buys that

554
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: you should stash on your bench. You can grab these guys,

555
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: hold onto them. And we start with Brown's wide receiver

556
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: Andre Andrew Hawkins. I don't know why people are dropping

557
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: him in PPR leagues, especially this guy's on pace for

558
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: a hundred and twelve catches. Okay, that's not a mistake.

559
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: One twelve catches. Guys, if he's been dropped in your

560
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, please pick him up and stash him and

561
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: then use him. He's gonna be slid all year long,

562
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: at least until Josh Gordon comes back for the Cleveland Browns.

563
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: He has had no fewer than six catches in any

564
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: game this year. Go get him. Can you see their

565
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: ten POLS targets in each game this season, and yeah,

566
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: clearly a PPR monster. Let's move on to the rookie

567
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: receiver there, Adam Rank John Brown three TV so far

568
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: this year. John Brown the only receiver for the Birds

569
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: there who has caught a touchdown pass this season. I

570
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: like this kid. That goes all the way back to

571
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: the to the springtime, springtime to the summertime. We're talking

572
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: about training camps and the Cardinals were very bullish about him,

573
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: and we talked about him extensively during those August shows

574
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: about somebody to watch and somebody who. Of course, he's

575
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit in consistent because he is

576
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: a rookie receiver, but has really drawn the attention of

577
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, both Carson Palmer Andrew Stanton. So if you're

578
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: looking for somebody, a little bit of the uh sleeper

579
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: played later later on down the road. Of course, the

580
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals are on a by this week. They've got the

581
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Broncos in week five. Shell He's not gonna pay off

582
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: immediately with somebody who should be on your bench. Crazy,

583
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: he's been doing more than Larry fitz Elliott. We keep

584
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: hearing that Jeremy Hill is going to be more involved

585
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: in the sinc offense. Well, I think that he already

586
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: is somewhat involved. But you know, I'm just looking at

587
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: the percentages here fab suggestion of Hawkins only owned twenty

588
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: two point four percent NFL dot Com leagues Adam Ranks

589
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: a suggestion to John Brown four point seven percent. Uh,

590
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill not as low sixty five percent Old. I

591
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: want to know who the thirty four percent are that

592
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: don't think this guy is worthy of a bench spot.

593
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean because you want to plug him in when

594
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: when other teams are on the buy and the Bengals aren't.

595
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: That's why I'm suggesting you pick up a guy right

596
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: now on the bye week, stash him on your bench,

597
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: and then when your other guys arena by, plug him

598
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: in your flex. Why not fabs? How about Brian Quick?

599
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: The number one guy there in St. Louis about Bryan

600
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: Quick right now? He's not even owned NFL dot Com leaks,

601
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: but he's on pace for over seventy catches and over yards.

602
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: I know he's a RAMS wide receiver. Typically, they don't

603
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: put up big numbers, at least not since the days

604
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: of Tory holding Isaac Bruce. But this is a guy

605
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: who has been putting up good numbers this season. Scored

606
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Cowboys. Go out grab him and

607
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: stash him away on your roster. He's been productive. Yeah,

608
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: he does lead the team in both receptions and receiving yards,

609
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,240

616
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: You gotta get it, all right. I'm James co alongside

617
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison, Michael Fabiano, and the fantasy maverick himself, Adam

618
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Rank here as well. This week, like every week, we

619
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: got highly drafted players going up against very tough defenses. Guys,

620
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: but we're also at the point now where you don't

621
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: necessarily have to play those guys in bad matchups. Fabs.

622
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with you. Reggie Bush versus the Jets.

623
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: Not a great matchup, No, and Reggie was really good

624
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: last week. We all thought it was gonna be Joike Bell.

625
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: The Joike was on us because Reggie Bush was the

626
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: guy who scored the fantasy points. I tried to get

627
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: that in there once in a while. I know it

628
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: was bad. I'm not a comedian. So the match up

629
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: here against the Jets is it can't be any worse.

630
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: The Jets have a lot of the fewest fantasy points

631
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: of running backs this season, zero touchdowns in four career

632
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: games against the Jets, and Reggie Bush has also put

633
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: up fewer than eighties scrimmage yards per game in those

634
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: four games. So Reggie Bush is not a guy that

635
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: I would start with confidence in standard leagues. If I'm

636
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: in the PPR league, you probably have to go with them.

637
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: But as standard leagues, this is one to avoid. Give

638
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: me some projections for Reggie Bush, Woody, I will asking

639
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: you shall received I'm going to within six point one

640
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Maybe he'd get you three or four catches

641
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, which would add to that PPR value.

642
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: But overall, I am not expecting Reggie Bush to put

643
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: up a big stat line like he did last week.

644
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: I agree with you, you know, I'd be surprised if

645
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: he picked up a rushing touchdown. I wouldn't be surprised

646
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: if he picked up a receiving touchdown, though, all right,

647
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Elliott Shandy McCoy on the road versus the Niners. The

648
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: Niners are the third stingiest defense to fantasy running. So

649
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: you can't even get it out. I can't even confident.

650
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Are you playing? Listen? I'm using the eyeball test. Okay,

651
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray ripped the Niners defense in Week one, but

652
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: he fumbled, so that hurt his fantasy points week too.

653
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Jake Color how many touchdown passes that game? Before? Right?

654
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: He wasn't looking for Matt Forte when they got inside

655
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: the twenty they were throwing the football. Last week, Andre

656
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: Ellington has not been playing healthy. So I'm watching the

657
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners defense. This unit doesn't look anything like the

658
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: group that we've been accustomed to the last three years.

659
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy can not only do it running the ball,

660
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: you can do it receiving. Who generally covers running backs

661
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: out of the backfield? Linebacker, right linebackers? What do the

662
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners get their pass rush? If they get any linebackers?

663
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be covering Lashawn McCloy. That's my questimated by

664
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: injuries at the linebacker position. There you go. How about

665
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: some projection. I'm going around fifteen. I've got fifteen point

666
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: three ninety rushing yards, twenty six yards receiving. I think

667
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw halfback option, guys, I do. I think

668
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna love it. But I'm afraid that he's gonna

669
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: check down and go eight yards to Riley Cooper. Very.

670
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I think you see I have Darren Sprowles projected for

671
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: the halfback. Did you really? I'm sorry, man, I did

672
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: have a very very precise yes. Predictions from Elliott Harrison.

673
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't Michael Wallace. Mike Wallace is scoring well, he's

674
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: taken on oak You're saying this is a great matchup,

675
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: are you? But how much hesitation do you have? Oakland's

676
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher against the fantasy receivers, and you

677
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: would think a lot of it. Of course, could be

678
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: that these teams are playing shorter games against the Raiders

679
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 1: and trying to bleed out the clock late because of

680
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: the one sidedness. And I look at this, Mike Wallace

681
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: hasn't played too well on the road, especially not you know,

682
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: in these type of games. So I think, you know,

683
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of hesitation there, but I'm still

684
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: going with them. This game is gonna be a lot

685
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: closer than people are giving them credit for. The Raiders

686
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: are getting better week by week. So this game, and

687
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: especially with everything that's been going on in Miami, the

688
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: mind games that are going on, there's gonna be a

689
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: lot more passing than people are anticipating. So I feel

690
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: you can be safe going with Mike Wallace. He's been

691
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good at Elliott. I think I might

692
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: have one up to here. I'm gonna go ninety eight

693
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: receiving yards, he catches a two point conversion, catches what's

694
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna push him. That's what's gonna be the big game

695
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: for those leagues where you get bonus points for a

696
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards, you're just gonna fall a bit off, but

697
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: you get the two points on the two point conversion,

698
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Chuck Clay gets the touchdown, and then Mike Wallace constitute

699
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a closer game. I agree with you

700
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: know why, because Mike Wallace shirt can't catch anything over

701
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: twenty yards, So I think the two point conversion is right,

702
00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: and he and Tannehill's wheel pection listen, let's let's addition

703
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: to a tight end Martell has Bennett has been going

704
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: off a hundred sixty one yards four touchdown uh touchdowns.

705
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: He's the second best fantasy tight end in the game

706
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: right now. He takes on green Bay this week like

707
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: Oakland fabs off the cuff. It doesn't seem like a

708
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: tough matchup, but the numbers tell us a little something different.

709
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: But we're it's still September, right, I know we're not

710
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: in the summer, it's fall. We're still in September, right,

711
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: It's not October. We are, okay, So in September you

712
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: start martellas Pennett touchdowns in his last eleven September games.

713
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: So to me, it's a no brainer, especially with six

714
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: teams off in the tire position is a miserable mess

715
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: right now for fantasy owners with all the injuries, and

716
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: of course the projection includes a touchdown for martellis penny

717
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: because it's September and October one. I'm training doctomber person.

718
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: You've got a small fist pump out of or fist

719
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: pump rather out of Adam rank starting him, so I

720
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: just assume he's going to automatically. There you go, and

721
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: it should be noted Green Bay is the stingiest defense

722
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: to fantasy any good tight ends this year? Yo, nobody?

723
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,600

Speaker 1: and give you a leg up here people on the

737
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: record Breakers game here in NFL Fantasy Live. Ellie Peyton

738
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: Manning holds the record for single season passing yards with

739
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: five thousand, four hundred and seventy seven. That average is

740
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: out over three d forty yards per game. Who has

741
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: the best shot at beating that mark this week? I

742
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: like Drew Reese, guys, I really do, yes, And I

743
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: have to say that the music for the record Breakers

744
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: sounds like when Drago is working out in the montage

745
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: with all the equipment pumped up. Drew Brees is gonna

746
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: be pumped up because he's done well against Dallas. You know,

747
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: last time they played, he put up a monster game

748
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety two yards and four touchdowns at

749
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Dallas defense is terrible. And oh, by the way, I

750
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: get the man, he's got the record, but the real

751
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: record Dan Marino, when all the rules weren't geared towards

752
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: the passing game. Just saying you're not concerned about him

753
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: on the road. No, no, I know we talked about

754
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: that earlier in the show. Yeah. I don't think the

755
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys have any home field advantage, do you? In that part?

756
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: The other team has the home field advantages looked like

757
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: this season? All right, let's move on now. We need

758
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and thirty rushing yards to keep

759
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: pace with Eric Dickerson's record. Who is your pick? Of

760
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: the running backs at him. I'm gonna take Matt Forte

761
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: because he's been a little bit down this year's Vantasy Wise,

762
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: I imagine him in the beginning of Rocky three when

763
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: Clever Lang's like training to try to work himself up

764
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: the ranks, and then finally he just comes out and

765
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: has that huge fight against Racky Elbow on their first match.

766
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: So I see fat Forte doing it. Plus he's got

767
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good history against the Packers, he's gotten to

768
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: this defense before. I really like, I really like this matchup,

769
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: so of course Matt four taste my guy. So we're

770
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: talking about the part where they dubbed the Guerrilla War

771
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: roar and storytime over. But yes, as as we said earlier,

772
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: he's on that matchup against Green Bay. They do. Calvin

773
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Johnson holds the NFL single season receiving yardage record. If

774
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: you're trying to match that pace on record breaker game,

775
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: who would you pick here? Elliott I would pick same matchup.

776
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm going Dez Bryant to the side of the why not.

777
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant's career high game was actually against the Saints,

778
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: and that's how why I'm doing it. I'm doing it

779
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: because I think the Saints are gonna have trouble with him.

780
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm predicting the Dallas is gonna run the ball and

781
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: come out to Jason Witten early, get those safeties involved

782
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: in coverage, and then when they get des isolated in

783
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: the corners mismatch all over the place. I think Dez

784
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: puts up close to two bills given at least one

785
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: seventy at him. Okay, I like, yeah, I like that,

786
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: Brian in this matchup. Stack Girl just checked in the

787
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: Saints d allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers

788
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, yeah, there's no surprise. The big surprise

789
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: was that he didn't make another Rocky reference. Yes, yes,

790
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: there's still time. Phaeton Manning average three point four passing

791
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to set the record at fifty five.

792
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: Adam who might throw three or more over the weekend.

793
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: I like Nick Foles in this matchup. The Eagles offense

794
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: is just hot, firing on all cylinders, and I really

795
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: like everything that they're doing. So Nick, it's a great

796
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 1: matchup the forty Niners. As we said earlier in the show,

797
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: you can get loose on this defense. It's not the

798
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: forty Niners. That we remember from the last couple of years,

799
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: teams have been throwing on them. You mentioned last you

800
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Jay Cutler throwing four touchdowns on them on Sunday

801
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: Night a couple of weeks ago. And I really like

802
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: Nick Foles and I think if you make a movie

803
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: of Nick foles life, I would have Kevin Connolly play him. Incidentally,

804
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: he was in Rocky five, was one of the kids

805
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: who beat up Rockies kids. And back to football there

806
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Stanton was able to get it done again of things successful, yes,

807
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: receivers there. All right, some bold predictions gentlemen, and some

808
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: movie references. Thanks for that pop culture from Elliott and Adam.

809
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: Let's send it over to James and FABS for the

810
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: week's best starts and sits. Hello, guys, Rocky three was covered,

811
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: Rocky four was covered, Rocky five. I can't believe Adam

812
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: even watched Rocky five. It was so bad. Alright, wrapping

813
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: up here with Michael Fabiano with some starts that sits

814
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: per week four. All right, FABS have talked a lot

815
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: about defenses today, We've got some defenses here on your

816
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: starts and sits for this weekend. Who do you like?

817
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: Who do you not like, well, the Bolts going up

818
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: against jackson Well, that's a no brainer. And I also

819
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: like the Indianapolis Colts when we're not on this list.

820
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: But if Charlie Whitehurst is a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans,

821
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: then pick up the Colts and play them. Even though

822
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: the Colts have not been too good defensively this year,

823
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to me because bad defenses doesn't mean

824
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: bad in fantasy necessarily. Very good point. All right, let's

825
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: talk about tight ends. Here's a board of your starts

826
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: and sits at tight end position, right, Martellis Bennett, it's September.

827
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm starting him. That's just the way that things go.

828
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: Antony Gates with a great match up against Jacksonville. I

829
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: said to sit him last week. This week, I say

830
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: to play him. Sid Hams Heath Miller, Jason Witten who

831
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: has not done anything, no touchdowns in his career against

832
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: in the world saying, what is your prediction for Travis Kelsey?

833
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: My prediction? Pay nice. We got to get another Rocky

834
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: reference in there. Travis Kelsey is gonna be picked up

835
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: and started in a lot of fantasy leagues this week.

836
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. And he's still out there,

837
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: but I don't like the match up on Monday Night

838
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. They've given up the third fewest fantasy

839
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: points and tight ends this year. They've only allowed an

840
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: average of a hundred and sixty eight receiving yards this

841
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: year too. So although Kelsey is a nice option because

842
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: it's just so thin out there at the tight end position,

843
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't like the match up at all. Take us

844
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: through your wide receiver's list here. Michael Crabtree has been

845
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: good to last two games a touchdown each. Jeremy mckwin

846
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: has become a must start. Julian Eduman, I love him.

847
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: On Monday Night against Kansas City. I have Kevin Benjamin

848
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: as a sick because I think the Ravens are really

849
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: tough against the past, especially at home. Eric Decker's forever

850
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: on might sit and listen till he does anything. And

851
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson another guy that I'm trying to avoid, not

852
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: good on the road in his career at least lately.

853
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the kid out of town Keenan

854
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: Al Let's do it, and he's been awful, I mean, listen,

855
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: make make no bones about it. He has not been good.

856
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Soft campaign I'm not going to I'm not going to

857
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: pull any punches here. Okay, Kelsey, I'm sorry. Keenan Allen

858
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: has got a great matchup. Okay, the Jaguars one of

859
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: the worst defenses in the league, and he has three

860
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his last four home games. The Jaguars giving

861
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks, which means it

862
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be a big game for Philip Rivers and

863
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a big game for Keenan

864
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: Allen as well. Very quick, let's talk about your running

865
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: backs here, h I see stardom Frick Gore coming off

866
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: of that terrible performance. Three of his four games career

867
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, he's rushed for a hundred yards. Matt

868
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: Acatta is a great sleeper. I like Pierre Thomas against Dallas,

869
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: said him, Reggie Bush against the Jets. You're pointing that

870
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: finger at me. I don't know what's going on, but

871
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: go ahead, and what's going on? What's your point here?

872
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's bring name all this list man Darren's sprawls.

873
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: You're sitting well, you've got six teams off, so most

874
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: people can't afford to say if you're in a PPR League.

875
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: It's a different story. But listen to these numbers. Okay,

876
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: no touchdowns in his last six road games against the NFC,

877
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: fewer than seventies screment yards and no touchdowns, and three

878
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: career games against the Forts and the fort and Nighters

879
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: have gett enough. The third fewest fantasy points to running backs.

880
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: And you know how many points Sprowls had last week? Uh?

881
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: Less than five. It was not good. He had two

882
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: points last week, and so he's he's not a guarantee

883
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: to put up big numbers just because he had that

884
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: huge game against the Colts. So I think Sprowls is

885
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: a guy who's a risk this week. He might even

886
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: be dependent on touchdowns if you if you could say

887
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: that or not? All right, how about your quarterback? A

888
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: list for very quickly here. Kaepernick hasn't been good at home,

889
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, how can you ignore that matchup against

890
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles Rivers? No brainer? Big Ben has been awesome

891
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: at home against NFC teams. Guys. I'm sitting Tom Brady ryantay,

892
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: and I know there's not a lot of big names

893
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: on here. Cam Newton, you probably have to play, but

894
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: in it's hard though, because you've got so many teams off,

895
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: and I can't go out and tell people to sit

896
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: guys who are not started in fantasy leagues anyways. But

897
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm also not going to tell people to sit them

898
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: just because they're big names. Michael Fabriano, I'm James co

899
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: for the guys. That's it for us Today, Friday, NFL
