7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: but you're pretty reluctant about. I'm pretty sure the phrase

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: is going to be used a lot on the show today. Also,

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: who can you trust the waiver wire guys you picked

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: up this week? Can you grab all these guys put

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: them in your lineup? Find out that and more today.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Of course, I want to make mention. October is Breast

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Cancer Awareness month. We are promoting it here at NFL

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: Network with our pink set, in our pink attire. Gentlemen.

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: It is also game Day Bills and Browns tonight on

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: our air Theabs. I hear you're actually starting Brian Hoyer.

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Correct when you say actually, that means it's a bad thing, right.

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, but did you know that only four quarterbacks

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: have scored more Fantasy points? And Brian Hoyer over the

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Let me the look you're giving me

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: My quarterbacks arenna buy and he's the best one available

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. I'm not thrilled. Gone, are you

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: starting any Actually? I am okay. Don't say anything though,

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: but Adam Wrinks doesn't know this. Adrian Peterson's on AA

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: by I gotta play running back. Fred Jackson was my guy,

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: but don't tell him though this is on National TV.

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: He's not on the show. If C. J. Spiller's out,

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: obviously he could. He could have a big workload there.

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: All right, that's just the appetizer for full preview of

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: tonight's Thursday night football matchup. Let's send it over to

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Adam rank Jay. Thanks a bunch of guys.

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: Been waiting all week for the Bills and the ground.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Suddenly the Cleveland Browns have all kinds of fantasy value. Right.

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: It's a crazy week in the NFL. But now the

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Browns they're relevant. I love it. I love the good

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: fans of Cleveland getting a prime time game, get a

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: show off. How good they are, how great the dog

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: poun is. I'm looking forward to this one. Let's take

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: a look at the practice report because there's some guys

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: banged up you needed about for tonight. Brandon Whedon probable,

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: but don't worry. Brian Hoyer is still starting for the

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Chris Obaniya is probable as well. The Bills

43
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: are the big question. C J. Spiller is a true

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: game time decision. Great news for Fred Jackson owners. He

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: has probably talked about playing all weeks. Stevie Johnson's gonna

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: play all week. We'll have more on these guys coming

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: up in a couple of minutes, because you need to

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: know who to start, who passes the big Thursday night

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: football test. But weather could certainly be a factor in

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: this one as well. Earlier today they put a tarp

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: on the field in Cleveland preparing for inmplement weather. They

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: won't play in that top window, off course not And

53
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: let's welcome in our resident meteorologist, Jim Cosick from ABC

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: four in Salt Lake City. Jim, when you see stuff

55
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: like this, what does it mean for tonight? Hey? You know,

56
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: the big concern would be any lightning in the area.

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: It's not cold enough for snow here. Notice the movement

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: on our Doppler radar. It's going southwest northeast. So the

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: true cold there is stuck up in Canada, but it's

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: piecemeal material. It's hit miss, so it's not gonna range

61
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: for the entire game. But again, you have to be

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: concerned about any lightning. That said the forecast as we

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: go into a game time Cleveland Brown Stadium. Listen, it's

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: two teams that aren't showing off, aren't slacking the right

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: in that Meati five curve right there. And when you're

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: talking about periods of rain with the thread of thunder

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and lightning, temperature and the wind isn't so much of

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: a factor. But I'm concerned wet Field thirty one year

69
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: old knees On mcgahey, please, I'm passing big time. But

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: because October is national popcorn popping month. When Stevie J

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: records his first Tijuana, you do your best TiO personation,

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about, guys. Now, we do have

73
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: other storm systems that were also gonna keep tabs on,

74
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: namely this one over the High Plains. What that does

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: It draws moisture in from the Deep South and wraps

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it around in a kind of a kind of clockwise circulation.

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of games that will be impacted

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: as we hi into the Sunday time frame. We're gonna

79
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: highlight five of them as we go into well saying

80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: bat time, same bat channel tomorrow. Bears, Bengals, Packers, Titans, Dolphins,

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: all one o'clock Eastern starts. So if you have any

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: fantasy players on these teams, you definitely want to be

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: tuning in tomorrow as we'll have their weather related impacts

84
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: for the meantime. Jason and the Company, it's popcorny and time, guys.

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: You got it. Mr Tomorrow, I love his accouterments. All right,

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the Brown's projection board here.

87
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: But Adam and I are projecting for tonight. We're both

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: projecting pretty good days from Brian Oyer, good days for

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon. But rank really, this offense

90
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: has been about Brian Hoyer. The Browns love to pass.

91
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna run the football, But can you start

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer tonight? I would pass on Brian Hoyer. It's

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: not because of the weather or anything. It's just because

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: there's so much depth at the quarterback position that a

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: lot of good quarterbacks have great matchups going into the weekend,

96
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: and when you look at and Hoyer, he's been tested

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: in two games. This is another good game for him.

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna wait on him. He's a guy

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: who you picked up to be your backup, So I'm

100
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: leaving him on the bench, even over guys like Kaepernick Wilson.

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Don't have a great matchup, are you, kiddie me? Kaepernick

102
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: and Wilson, these are great quarterbacks. I'm starting the meat

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: and every week, all right, Jordan Kapern You were high

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: on him in the preseason as a sleeper, and not

105
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: only is he a sleeper, he's number two tight end

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: in the little league. Yeah, he's been fantastic. And the

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: great thing is what you see right there. They're looking

108
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: for him in the red zone and see and then

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: you know what, And then he can stretch the field too,

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: So he's all over the place. But even when he

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great game yardage wise, ninety one yards

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: last week wasn't terrible, but he got into the end zone.

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that we want out of

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: our tight ends. If you get that red zone target,

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: that touchdown past eight nine points, you gotta feel pretty good,

116
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: right Josh Gordon. I can't believe we still get tweets

117
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: all the time. Do I start Josh Gordon my flex?

118
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: What do I? Do? You see twenty eight targets the

119
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: last two games you played Josh Gordon. There's not a

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: lot of receivers that I'd be playing ahead of Josh Gordon.

121
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: If he's not your number two receiver, he at least

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: has to be your flex. And we talk about the

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: aversion of playing guys on Thursday night because guys don't

124
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of time to practice and get into

125
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: a rhythm and get a game plan going and everything.

126
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: But Josh Gordon is a guy that you play each

127
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and every week because, as you said, he's getting the

128
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: opportunity and when you look at some of the other

129
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: receivers in the in the league, in the game, they're

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: not getting that opportunity. So Josh Gordon is see your plan?

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: High end too high end too yes, very high, very high?

132
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Really whatever, play him? I cannot stress I cannot stress

133
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: it enough. All right, let's take a look at the

134
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Bills projections. Now, this is assuming C. J. Spiller doesn't

135
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: play like we said, He's a true game time decision.

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Not a great night we're both projecting for ej Manuel

137
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: and okay night for Fred Jackson. You like Stevie Johnson

138
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I do. But for Manual Rank,

139
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, we thought this would be a guy that

140
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: could make plays with his legs. We're still kind of

141
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: waiting for that to happen. It's true, and he's gonna

142
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: be able to do a lot of things for a

143
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: lot of people in Fantasy in years to come. But

144
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the big thing to me is playing rookie quarterbacks on

145
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: the road and going back to the Thursday night thing

146
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: of not having a full week of practice. Now, if

147
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: ej Manuel had a full week of practice was able

148
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: to look at a lot of the stuff that Browns

149
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: are gonna throw at him, then sure I might think

150
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: about it. But even that, the Browns are pretty good defense.

151
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: It's a it's a short week, so I say just

152
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: rest on e j. Men. Yeah, and if it was

153
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago where fifteen fantasy points was

154
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: a good start from the quarterback, he might think about it.

155
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: But the stakes have been raised. Fred Jackson, the good

156
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: news is he is close to healthy. He ken coming

157
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: off his sprain knee. He's had over ten Fantasy points

158
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: in every game this year, right? Is he a flex

159
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: for you? He really is. And when you look at

160
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: the running back position, when you start, you get out

161
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: of the ten to twelve range of those guys and

162
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: you start looking at some of the running backs who

163
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: are playing, and you're not thrilled with any of them.

164
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: We're talking about Rashad Jennings or anybody that you're picking

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: about the waiver wire, the Garrett Blunt, Danny Woodhead, and

166
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: you're just picking up all these guys all over the place. That. Yeah,

167
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: of course Fred Jackson fits into that mix. And if

168
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: he gets the start all by himself, then I'm definitely

169
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: playing all right. How about Stevie Johnson. He's had over

170
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: nine Fantasy points in three or four games this season

171
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: of four because other game was a two. Yeah, he

172
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: had a minus T. I understand all that. And everybody's

173
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: in love with Robert Woods now because he finally got

174
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: into the end zone. But Stevie Johnson is still the

175
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: guy to target on this offense. I'm a little less

176
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: confident on him because of a little less confident on EJ. Manual.

177
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: If this was a game where we expected a lot

178
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: of throwing from the Bills, a lot of passing yards

179
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: and things like that. Then I I feel a little

180
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable. But we're not expecting that. Where you're

181
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: sitting him tonight, you gotta sit him. It's gonna be

182
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Fred Jackson. If C. J. Spiller's going,

183
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: then a lot of him too. Otherwise to shark choice,

184
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: not a lot of passing I do. Yeah, I can't

185
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: do it. I can't do it, Jason, I'm sorry, all right.

186
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: So Spiller is a tough one obviously to play as

187
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: well because of his up in the air status. What

188
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: about Bullis mcgahey. You know they signed him. He didn't

189
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: carry the football a ton of his debut, But now

190
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: he's had a little bit of time. Can you trust

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: him tonight. He's still got to get acclimated and it's

192
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: still a short week and everything. I would love this

193
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: matchup if it was on Sunday, But with Willis mcgahey

194
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: coming in still learning that Brown's playbook and everything, and

195
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and trying to just get back in the football shape.

196
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: This was a guy who wasn't on the roster to

197
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: start the season, So I leave him on the bench.

198
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: He will pay off for you at some point. This season,

199
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: we see some great matchups on the horizon. This isn't

200
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: one of them. And who knew there was the beginning

201
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: of the season. There's more Browns you're playing than you're

202
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: playing Buffalo Bill. It's crazy. It's crazy to think about.

203
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: We really like it's harken us back to the Paul

204
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Brown days and they're throwing the ball at time. Love

205
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: what the Browns are doing. This is ana be a

206
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: great game, all right. Can't get enough Fantasy football as

Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football on NFL Network every week. Guys, Thanks guys.

212
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: Let's get into our latest headline, starting with the quarterback

213
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: situation in Tampa. The Buccaneers have released Josh Freeman after

214
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: not finding anyone willing to make a trade. The Bucks

215
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: are off this week on a buy. But now Mike

216
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: Lennon the only quarterback option there. Does he have any

217
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: fan value? You know, I don't see any value right

218
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: now in Glenn and I think Glenn is still very young.

219
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna see a lot of different looks from defensive coordinator,

220
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: so he could fumble a little bit early. He looked

221
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: to Vincent Jackson early last week with the leven targets

222
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: to Vincent Jackson, He's a wait and see for me

223
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: in the traditional league. No value right now. So other

224
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: than Doug Martin, Vincent Jackson really the only guy, and

225
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned Mike Williams earlier on the books with the

226
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: fantasy value. Meanwhile, Tarrell Prior is back in practice and

227
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: has been cleared to start this weekend against the Chargers.

228
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Guy says he must start this week. Not a must start,

229
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: but he's a very good start. This is a great

230
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: match against the Chargers. No team has a lot more

231
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: fantasy points to quarterbacks. And remember before he got injured

232
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, he had a pretty good style line

233
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: there on Monday Night. So t P is a guy

234
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: that you know, I love you. I love TP. If

235
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you need a quarterback this week and he's on the

236
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: waiver wire, pick him up and start him. Nobody can

237
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: create runs out of and nothing more than Tarrell Prior.

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: He's a good one. And remember that Chargers Raiders game

239
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: is on our air NFL Networks Sunday night, eleven Eastern Kick. Meanwhile,

240
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: running back Darren McFadden did not participate in practice on

241
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. His regular backup Marcel

242
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Reese was limited as well. Guys, is Rashawn Jennings really

243
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: worth picking up? He is, but he's kind of just

244
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: a warm body for your starting line up until McFadden

245
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: gets back. I don't expect too much from him, and

246
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: then of course you have to add Rese in the

247
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: factor as well, but should have some touches this week.

248
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: NFL media insider Ian Rappaport says that running back Ahmad

249
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Bradshaw's neck injury could require surgery and will almost certainly

250
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: keep him out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The

251
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: team expects to learn if he will need surgery in

252
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: the next few days. If he does miss significant time,

253
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: how much does this help the value of Trent Richardson

254
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: or Donald Brown, Well, it brings the value back the

255
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: attention back to Trent Richardson. I think Trent Richardson is

256
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that you're just happy that

257
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: you drafted where you drafted him because now all of

258
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, this's a team that's now committed to running

259
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: the ball like pet Hamilton's and Indianapolis Colts. They're going

260
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: to drive in the ball. He's gonna get a lot

261
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: of touches if they didn't get right Richardson right, Vick

262
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Ballard hurt now a lot, Brad Shad. Donald Brown would

263
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: be the hottest pick up wire right now. He will

264
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: get a heavy volume of that carries Donald Brown. Where

265
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: did he go to college? University of Connecticut. One for

266
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: the good guys, Ram's head to. Jeff Fisher was asked

267
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday who will get the start at running back when

268
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: the Rams host the Jags. His answer not exactly satisfying, gentleman.

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I haven't decided yet. We'll probably play most,

270
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: if not all, the running backs that are active. Depends

271
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: on what package we are in when we start the game.

272
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: There are different style runners, and we have different things

273
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: for different backs. Guys. Darryl Richardson clearly has an impressed coaches.

274
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: Should fantasy owners pick up Isaiah Pete? You know, I

275
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in that Backfeld. I do

276
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: know one thing. Jeff Fitcher hates our fantasy football teams.

277
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: But I think Isaiah Pete is the guy to pick

278
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: up this week. But you've also got sax Zack Stacy there,

279
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Benny Cunningham. Uh, that is a mess, and it's too

280
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: bad because this is a great match up against the

281
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars and there's not anyone in that backfield you control.

282
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: But said you said a mess, No, I need to

283
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: correct you. It's a hot mess. I am not messing

284
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: with any of those running back now did I was

285
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: able to pick up Isaiah Pete in one of my

286
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: other leagues and I got a little bit out of

287
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: him and that's it. But now I'm staying away from

288
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the situation. Speaking of hot mess, that Jacksonville Jaguars wide

289
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: receiver Justin Blackman is back at practice. I was referring

290
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: to the Jags, not Justin Blackman after serving his four

291
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: game suspension and can play this week in St. Louis.

292
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Is he worth a pickup? Cecil Shorts was leading the

293
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: league in target so let's mention him as well. For owners,

294
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna pick up Justin Blackman because he's a talented

295
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Let's not make any mistake about this. He's

296
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: in a bad situation with the Jacksonville Jaguars. One because

297
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: the team has having troubles, and the other is because

298
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts is the guy there. He's getting a ton

299
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: of targets and looks, yeah, are you gonna punch me?

300
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: If I say something bad about Cesar starts, I always

301
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: start back. What coach Gus Bradley did say, black Man

302
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: isn't perfect conditioning. He was really happy with that. Meanwhile,

303
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots bolster their stable of white House Thursday by

304
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: signing Austin Colleague for what does this mean for the

305
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: rest of the Patriots wide receivers almost all of the

306
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: we're on the injury report this week. Well, that means

307
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: that there's some concerns there that mean you bring in

308
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: Austin Collie. I don't think Austin Collie is a guy

309
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: that you're gonna go rush and go get. You just

310
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: gotta see the wait and see situation and see how

311
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: that plays out. Agreed, they needed the depth clearly. All right,

312
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: Still to come, We're answering some of the burning questions

314
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: out if our experts think Peyton Manning can keep up

315
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: these record breaking numbers. He's been having quite a season

316
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: and you might be starting them, but you're not happy

317
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: about it. We're sharing our own tales of woe and

329
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Tip in my hand and I'm not showing you you

330
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: are going down. I got that. I've got a couple

331
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: of questions in my flex spot. I'm not letting you know.

332
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Lamar Melton. Now you'll find out on Sunday. Yeah,

333
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: and so the frostiness is palpable, all right? In that case,

334
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: we'll take two lineup. Submitted by users on NFL dot

Speaker 1: COM's Fantasy Genius tool to pick out which lineup is

336
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: stronger and potentially help you for your matchup this week.

337
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Here's Team one versus Team two. Will start the quarterbacks.

338
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Obviously bar Aaron Rodgers has the matchup advantage over Matt Ryan,

339
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: But what kind of start is Ryan this week? Well?

340
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: I love Matt Ryan. He's still a top ten quarterback

341
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: in fantasy when we look at it. Despite the one

342
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: in three start for the Atlanta Falcons in fantasy, he's

343
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: still putting up big numbers. Remember last week against the Patriots,

344
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: he threw fifty four times. That's a lot of ball

345
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: storing up in there. And when you have dynamic receivers

346
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: like Julia Jones, a guy like Tony Gonzalez, Harry Douglas

347
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: even getting in the mix, you can expect production out

348
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan. And the Jets are pretty favorable match

349
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: up to allow the second most points to fantasy quarterbacks. Absolutely,

350
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: he had given up a lot of stuff too to

351
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: the tight exceeding the Titans, and the Titans and the Bills. Yeah,

352
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: you're worried about this game, getting thirty five nothing and

353
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan sitting, But then I think he'll take that production.

354
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Howbout ra Shard Mendenhall. Right, he's matched up against Frank

355
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: Gore and he's barely holding on to his job. Yeah,

356
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: if I was team too, I would see if there's

357
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: somebody available on the waiver wire, maybe somebody like la

358
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt or another person. Because the Shard Mendenhall just

359
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: has not taken taken advantage of his opportunity. Bruce arians

360
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: came in and immediately installed him as the number one

361
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: running back, a non committee running back at that, but

362
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: he has not grasped ahold of bit. You see right there,

363
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: fewer than seventy rushing yards and eleven consecutive games. I

364
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: don't like it. Andre Ellington is starting to push him

365
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: out of the way, and there will be a time

366
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: where he's on your bench. Not to mention too, he's

367
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: still struggling through a little bit of that that toe

368
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: nuisance that he's got going on, so that could be

369
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: a factor too as well. I will still have more

370
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: on this situation coming up. Playing round on the show,

371
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: you saw Mike Wallace matched up against Julio Jones. Huge

372
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: advantage for Julio Jones, but Mike Wallace has been so

373
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: disappointing this year, Akbar, can you trust him this week?

374
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: There was a time when I used to trust Mike Wallace,

375
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: but I don't. I give this advantage to Team one

376
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: there with Julio Jones. And that's because when you look

377
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: at Mike Wallace in his production, it just hasn't been there.

378
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: And you gonna say, well, why has that been? Look

379
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: at the way defenses are playing Mike Wallace. They're now

380
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: starting to roll that that safety over the top with

381
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks. So all of a sudden, now you start

382
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of that bracket on Mike Wallace.

383
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: And then he doesn't have that chemistry with Ryan Tannehill.

384
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: He's been targed. He's only had one catch of twenty

385
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: plus or more. Now you go back to what was

386
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. He led the league with fourteen twenty plus

387
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: expulsive plays. Not there anymore like a Fantasy Live This

388
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: year we talked about him being a potential bus and

389
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: certainly it looks that way for Mike Wallace. De Sean Jackson,

390
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: Rank Randall, Cob Cob gets the advantage to Sean Jackson

391
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: started out great? Does he why right? We're all about

392
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson. He's been fantastic for the Eagles this year.

393
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: He's led the team in targets, receptions, yards, everything that

394
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: we would imagine. And now he's going up against the

395
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: Giants who have had a hard time stopping anybody. I'm

396
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: not ready to concede that Deshan Jackson is not one

397
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: of the top ten, maybe top five receivers going into

398
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: this week. I love this matchup for him. And you

399
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: know what I was if I was Chip Kelly, just

400
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: for fun, I would have him returned punts just to

401
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: remind me Giants of what happened last time he was returning.

402
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: That idea. All right, here's the overall better lineup my

403
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: picks here. Team to Aaron Rodgers and the Seahawks defense.

404
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: A tough one of defense, but you'll get Matt Forte,

405
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: Frank Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Vernon Davis, Randall Cobb. That's

406
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: a lot of firepower for Team one. Guys. Yeah, I

407
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: agree with you. I don't think Team two has a

408
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: chance here. Team two has Sea Bass. You always have

409
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: a chance when you have sea bass. I put moved

410
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson from the flex spot to your number

411
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: two wide receiver position because Mike Wallace is there. I

412
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: like that. And And then see if you can find a

413
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: running back to slide into that flex spot. If there's

414
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: going more, yeah, who knows if it's anybody out there.

Speaker 1: at against the grain to fleet Er fires ends on touchdowns,

429
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: flide into the m zone. The Indianapolis Colts at three

430
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: and one, coming off a blowout when in Jacksonville last week,

431
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: a couple impressive wins. Now for the calls, including beating

432
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: the forty nine is one of the stars from the

433
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: victory in Jacksonville. Kobe Fleaner joins us now on Fancy Live. Uh,

434
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Kobe had a touchdown reception in this game. You've got

435
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the last three games. You seem to

436
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: be a big part of the offense right now. Some

437
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: of that partially because Dwayne Allen is out or do

438
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: you just feel like that's a development in your game? Well,

439
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: I think you know. The credits you go to the

440
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff for really taking advantage of what they see

441
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: the defense is giving us. Um, if that happens to

442
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: be throwing the ball at the tight end, great, Uh.

443
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: If it means throwing it to the wide receivers are

444
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: running the ball, great as well. This is your second

445
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: year in the league. What's different for you year two

446
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: versus year one? UM, I would just say overall familiarity. Um,

447
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not running around trying to find the

448
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: lunch room. UM, I know where things are. You know,

449
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm learning from my teammates still. But you know, just

450
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of a comfort level that I may not have

451
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: had last year. Well, just through training cramp in preseason.

452
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Andrew luck is also in year two just like you are.

453
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: What have you seen that's a little different in his

454
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: game versus his rookie season. Um, I think it's much

455
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: of the same with me. Um. You know, growing calm

456
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: evidense Um, a better understanding of defenses in the NFL. UM,

457
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: And obviously there's an offense he's very familiar with. You know,

458
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson, that was a big acquisition that your club made.

459
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: A lot has been made about him learning the playbook.

460
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: Is three weeks enough to assimilate professional playbook and and

461
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: start showing it on the field. Well, I would say that,

462
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: you know, we have a pretty complex offensive scheme, but

463
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: trents picked it up quickly. I mean he played I

464
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: don't know, three days after he was first in the

465
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: building or something ridiculous like that. So I've been very

466
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: impressed thus far with Trends being able to pick up

467
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: things up. Well, speaking of picking things up, you guys

468
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: have a tough matchup and you're definitely gonna have to

469
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: hit your assignments because Seattle brings it, especially defensively. They're

470
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: so talented in the secondary. Does that mean it's gonna

471
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: be more important for for Andrew Luck to hit you guys,

472
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: the tight end group in the running backs. I hope so. Um,

473
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I think again going back to our

474
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff has done an awesome job of really you know,

475
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play back and cover the past, then

476
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: we'll run the ball. And if they're gonna come up

477
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: and play the run, then we'll pass the ball. And

478
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: I think that maybe oversimplifying it a little bit, but um,

479
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: ultimately that's that's what we want to do. Well. Indianapolis

480
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: traded for Trip Richardson. They drafted you last year, They

481
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: drafted Andrew Luck last year. Nobody ever talks about the

482
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: defense in India in Indianapolis, but the Colts defense is

483
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: surprisingly played really well. What are you seeing from that

484
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Well, I think, uh, it may

485
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: be surprising to you, it's not surprising to me. You know,

486
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: I see them every day in practice, and I saw

487
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: them all off training camp, so I understood what opposing

488
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: offenses we're going to see. Um. That said, you know,

489
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: they've done an awesome job. You know, last game against Jacksonville,

490
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: we started out struggling offensively and put the defense out

491
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: there in a rough spot, and they really came through

492
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: for us. Um didn't let the other team get the

493
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: momentum and allowed our offensive really get back on the

494
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: field and get things rolling. But they're definitely a big

495
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: part of you guys being three and one, as are

496
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: your product productivity. Two touchdowns in the last three games.

497
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: We wish you the best luck the rest of the season.

498
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Appreciate you joining us on fantasy lot Thanks for having me, guys,

499
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it all right, Thanks Lord Elliott rank. What's Fleinger's

500
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: fantasy value right now? He's a low end number one.

501
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't particularly like the matchup going up against Seattle.

502
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: They've allowed seven point four points on average too tight

503
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: ends this season. They gave up a big one last

504
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: week to uh Garrett Graham of the Houston Texans, so

505
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: that that's a big part of it. So the one

506
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: thing that makes them tough is the corners are so

507
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: good that they can lock up the opposing receivers and

508
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: then they can have the safety cover them. So this

509
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough for Fleaner. But again, so a

510
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: low end tight end one. No, you got a lot

511
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: of buys going on fabs. Vernon Davis. There's some questions

512
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: about him. How do you proceed? Yeah, well, if Fernon

513
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Davis is on your fantasy team, unless you have Jordan

514
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: Cameron or if you have a Julius Thomas, you have

515
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: to play him. But the fact of the matter is

516
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: there's a little concern out there. I'm getting a lot

517
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: of questions about him on Twitter because after that first

518
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: came in the season, you haven't done much. He's been

519
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: injured too, He's been dinged up in a bar. What

520
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: kind of injuries get exacerbated by travel that maybe Vernon

521
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: Davis is still not healthy. Well, I mean, obviously, when

522
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: you're dealing with joint issues and you're up flying, you

523
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: know that can make your your your knee joint, your

524
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: your ankles swoven. When you're talking about like a hamstring situation,

525
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: what you lose more than anything is the idea of

526
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: having your own guys there at home where you guys,

527
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: you've got your trainers, you've got your own personal massage guy,

528
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: the guys who're gonna do a r T. We're going

529
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: to try to get some of those the kinks out

530
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: of your hamstring. That's the stuff that he's gonna give

531
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: up traveling, Uh for an away gain, but you can

532
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: get toward all away or at home. Is always gonna

533
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: be that travels with the teeth, all right, So as

534
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: you trying to fill some holes in your line up.

535
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: You're the top five waiver wire ads this week on

536
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Nate Washington coming off that huge game,

537
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: is number one. Ken Ball Tompkins on this list. Philip Rivers,

538
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: Willis mcgaie fabs Nate Washington. I know if he could

539
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: run into an official every week is a fantasy value,

540
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: But can you trust Nate Washington put him in your lineup.

541
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't love the matchup this week against Kansas City.

542
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been so tough defensively, but I'm playing

543
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: Nate Washington in one of my leagues and it's kind

544
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: of one of those players I'm playing him. He'll see

545
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: targets Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. They did connect for a

546
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: touchdown last week. So Washington is not the best play

547
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: in the world. But at this point, with the bio

548
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: weeks here, I could do worse than having him as

549
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: my third wide out. Rank America wanted Danny woodhead America

550
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: got him. Was this the right move? Yeah, this is

551
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: a great move by not only America, but the world. Denmark.

552
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: It was actually pretty high on Danny Woodhead this week,

553
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: So that's good to know. The one thing I liked

554
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: about him, and you saw him against the Dallas Cowboys

555
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: caught two touchdown passes, and I'm reminded of when Edny

556
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: Royal had two touchdown passes in the opener against the

557
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, came out the following week and got three.

558
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Danny would Head will do this

559
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, but he's a guy who's gonna be

560
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: a focal point of this office. This pass right here,

561
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: so pretty Philip rivers, Danny wood had good pick up everybody,

562
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: all right. We live in a democracy, So I'm going

563
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: to question America because they picked up Kellen Winslow And

564
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: I understand he had nine targets last week and everybody's

565
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: injured for the Jets, and Lamb Jones might be playing

566
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver this week, But Kellen Winslow, there are so

567
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: many better guys out there a bar from the tight

568
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: end position for me that I can't take the risk

569
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: with him. Well, think about what he's the situations in.

570
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: He's got a young quarterback throwing on the ball. Who

571
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: is it? Genal Smith? General Smith is going to be

572
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: looking to check down to Kelly Winslow. Kelen Winslow is

573
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be your deep threat. Kelen winsl is gonna

574
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: be the guy running those scene routes. And when he

575
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: gets into trouble and there's pressure in Genal smith face,

576
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna look to him and he's got he's he's

577
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: got really good hands. When you think about Kelly Winslow,

578
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: of course he was targeted nine times for a reason,

579
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: because that's the fastest way for Genal Smith to get

580
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the ball out of this and you throw him. Absolutely,

581
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm all in for Kelly Winslow to play him. And plus,

582
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: when you think of it, you take those you know,

583
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: those top tight ends that we talk about Graham and

584
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Julius and all those guys, that's a guy that's gonna

585
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: be right underneath them. Especially in week Foster. Do you

586
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: think America's shut down just like the government shut that. Yeah,

587
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: we're playing play. I really like the Kelly wins will

588
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: pick all right. Some other guys that are being picked up,

589
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: though not as much as we've seen before. Rasha Jennings

590
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: and right there's a there's a lot of uncertainty in

591
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders backfield. Was picking up Jennings the right thing

592
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: to do. I'll borrow a phrase from Fabian and be like,

593
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: but he's he's gonna have the opportunity and as long

594
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: as Darren McFadden is out, as long as Marcel Reese

595
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: is banged up, then he's gonna go ahead and get

596
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go out there and play. And as

597
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: you've mentioned before, San Diego is not a great defense,

598
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: so you can score points off these guys. And you

599
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: know what, there's just not a lot of good number

600
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: one running backs available, So yes, you're gonna be forced

601
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: to play this guy. Not a bad pick up at

602
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: this point of the season. Who else you Yeah, I mean,

603
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: you know what Jennings is at him, He's basically a

604
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: roster spot, a body of putting your starting lineup. Ken

605
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: Brill Tompkins Pats have the Bengals Week five, not a

606
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: great matchup, but bar his fantasy points have increased since

607
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: week one, week two to week three to week four,

608
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: which is great. He had a good week last week.

609
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: When you look at the Patriot situation, you don't know

610
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna play for him. What's the right thing to

611
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: do with him? This way saying what you want? This

612
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: kid right now is growing up right in front of

613
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: your eyes. And he's also playing with the chip in

614
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: his shoulder. On his shoulder, that's because he's an undrafted

615
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: free agent, so he know he has something to prove.

616
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: But what you're starting to see is the maturity of

617
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Kimbrill Tompkins. Will you go through a full season like

618
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: this and you're starting early? Boy, been production all right.

619
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: FABS America also trying to pick up Legarrett Blunt, who

620
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: could be in line for the start this week's even

621
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: really hasn't practiced. Is this the right move? I have

622
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: picked him up in every league where I need a

623
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: running back or I just need depth, just in case,

624
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: because Stephen really has not practiced this week so far.

625
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a little bit of a knee injury.

626
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: And if he suddenly isn't acting, you're gonna see Lagarret

627
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: Blunt and Brandon Bolden top the mail there for the

628
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: Patriots against Cincinnati. So hey, it's one of those futures pickups.

629
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: You pick him up now and maybe you have a

630
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: starting running back come Sunday. It's pretty good too. I

631
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: got Danny Mandola in the league, and so I picked

632
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: up Blunt to be the replacement for my flex spot

633
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: where I have Danny right now. So if if he's

634
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: not playing, and just two, when you think about Bill Billichick,

635
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: he's not a guy that gets into oh, I've got

636
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: to start my guy. He doesn't have a guy. He's

637
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna play the guy who produces. And I think Lagart

638
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: Blunt looks like the guy who wants to produce. He

639
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: wants to get on the football field and score touchdown.

640
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: And he's available in over NFL dot com leagues. He's

641
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: a number one running back. Go get him. Still to come.

Speaker 1: another chance at the million dollars. This is no easy task,

662
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: but luckily we have Adam Rank and Michael Fabiano here

663
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: to help us out. So let's start by looking at

664
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: the top matchups based on fantasy points allowed this week

665
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: for Week five, and I just want to explain one

666
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: thing quickly. If you're not seeing the first or second

667
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: and these are based on position, it's because either the

668
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: players of the teams are not fantasy relevant or they

669
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: are on a by gentleman. But someone who's not on

670
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: this list and is another good option is Michael Vick.

671
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: He should light up the Giants this week. Yeah, I

672
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: think so. This is gonna be a high scoring game.

673
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Neither one of these defenses plays a lot of defense,

674
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. And the Giants have allowed

675
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes this season. That's type for most of

676
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And the g Men are also

677
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: allowing right around twenty three fantasy points per game, that's

678
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: the sixth most. I like Michael Vicks matchup this weekend

679
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: and rank. How about Matt Forte. He's been a great

680
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: fit in Mark Trestman's offense. He's been fantastic. And we're

681
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: very excited about Matt fourte heading into this season, and

682
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: he has shown he has actually rewarded our faith. He's

683
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: ranked fourth amongst fantasy running backs. And you know what,

684
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: this is the guy that you play each and every

685
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: week because he can do so many things at running

686
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: the football as he did right there catching the ball

687
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: as a receiver, and as you said, in Mark Trestman's offense,

688
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: he has been fantastic. Said go ahead, put him in

689
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: your line. He's certainly shined last week. Now, Victor Cruz

690
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: the number one receiver and pretty much the only one

691
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: that is helping Eli as they face the Eagles. That. Yeah,

692
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: the one bright spot so far this year has been

693
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz for those g men. Great matchup against the Eagles.

694
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: They're allowing at averaging around thirty six fantasy points per

695
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers. That's the most in the National

696
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Football League. Again, I think this is gonna be a

697
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: high scoring game in traditional fantasy leagues. I didn't even

698
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: start Eli Manning. Whoa I said it had? I know

699
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: that makes you happy. That does make me happy. You

700
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: know who else made me happy this season? Julius Thomas.

701
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: Having him on my team a sneaky good start here. Yeah,

702
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: we've done really well with tight ends. Jimmy Graham of

703
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: course is the bell cow, the guy that we all expected,

704
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: but you've gotten guys like Jordan Cameron and this young

705
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: man Julius Thomas, who has been fantastic in that Broncos offense.

706
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: He's given them an extra element, really stretched the field

707
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and does so many amazing things were there and you

708
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: would figure, you know, with guys like Eric Decker and

709
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Wes Welker and the Marius Thomas, that he would get

710
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle. But he ranks third amongst tight

711
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: ends in fantasy points. And now he's going up against

712
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And if you saw what Antonio Gates was

713
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: able to do the Cowboys last week, Julius Thomas can

714
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: certainly do that. Even with the competition there, he is

715
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: orange hot rank. How about this team, the Rams defense

716
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: against the Jags offense enough set, Yeah, you know it's dreaming.

717
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: Defenses is not rocket science. If you're playing the Jags,

718
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: you play the defense that's going up against him this week.

719
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: That's the Rams in St. Louis. Last week the Cold

720
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: scored twenty three fantasy points against the Jaguars offense. This week,

721
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: start the Rams there my number one defensive fantasy Every

722
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: number two is the Chiefs Number one the rail who

723
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: would a funk it? And again these are sneaky, perfect

724
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: challenge plays, right, we're not going all chalk here. We're

725
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: looking at the matchup. And here's a few additional guys

726
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: on here, Terry Giants and Eagles, well, the Marius Thomas again,

727
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, a great matchup going against the Cowboys. They

728
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: were able, you know, teams are able to throw against them.

729
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: So I like that play too. Clearly, we think it's

730
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a high scoring game there in the Jerry Dome.

731
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah you do remember when the NFCS was the best

732
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: division in football? Yeah? I do, actually was that? No, sir,

737
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: We'll let you in on which defenses are must starts

738
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: for Week five. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Lot. Many

739
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: fantasy owners remain in a state of shock after looking

740
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: at who they must start this week. In fact, our

741
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: producer is starting Chad Henny and it's quarterback league, so

742
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: no need to worry. You are not alone. Michael Fabiano

743
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: and I still starting people we don't want to. So

744
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: these are a list of players that you're starting this week.

745
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: But you're not very excited about. The official gesture and

746
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: sound of this segment is Fabs. So we'll kick things

747
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: off with Andre Ellington. Yeah, not really excited about starting

748
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: a backup running back in Arizona, but the job is

749
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: there for the taking, Fabs. Bruce arians is very high

750
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: on him. He's been down in Richard Menton Hall, who

751
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: had a bad week on Sunday with a with a

752
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: couple of fumbles twenty one yards rushing, didn't run out

753
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: of bound he was supposed to. It looks like they

754
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: want to get Ellington the chance, and I'm hoping that

755
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: the chances this week. See Ellington's more of a future

756
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: stash for me because I don't want to play him

757
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: this week. He could overtake men in Hall at some

758
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: point if men and All continues to struggle. But this

759
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: is more than any This is low, no way, no

760
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: thank you. Unfortunately I have to start Ellington in one

761
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: of my leagues. You have to start Rashad Jennings. But

762
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 1: I don't hate this though, I don't hate it. Well,

763
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: at least it looks like he's going to see the

764
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: Lions chair that areas. Darren McFadden's hurt, and you know,

765
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: Marcel Reese is banged up, and the Chargers defense is

766
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: no great shakes, So I'm not that upset that I

767
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: have to start Jennings. I'd rather start McFadden. So it's

768
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: kind of a half and just yeah, that's all right.

769
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: How about all showing Jeffrey doesn't have a great matchup

770
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: because the Saints defense suddenly is pretty good against the past.

771
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: But I'll shut Jeffrey getting the targets now. He's got

772
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: three games with eight or more targets, had eleven last

773
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: week against the Lions. I'm not excited about starting in

774
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: but I'm hopefully he can come through right well, I mean,

775
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: at least there's some upside there. He's had two pretty

776
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: good games in a row, accummenating last week in a

777
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: hunting yard games, so I'm not that down on him.

778
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: He is definitely not a one or two right now.

779
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: He is a three and a bi week filling. Yeah,

780
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting him in two leagues. I'm not excited about it.

781
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: So is Russell Wilson a fool? If for you you

782
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: know what he wasn't he was a big time and

783
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: for me last week and he that didn't do much,

784
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: and I don't like the matchup. The Colts defense actually

785
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: has been pretty good on fantasy quarterbacks this season. I

786
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: am starting to throw Prior over Russell Wilson this week

787
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: and one of my leagues or two of my leagues,

788
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: and then I have Wilson in another league and I'm

789
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: starting Philip Rivers. So Russell Wilson has found his way

790
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: to the pine. So really so not starting him, not

791
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: at all, really so not excited. And but you're excited

792
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: about not starting him, then I guess I'm yeah, I'm

793
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: definitely excited about not starting him. Now I'll have twenty

794
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: four points. Alright, the players you may have to start,

795
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: even though you might not like it. For more, let's

796
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: send things over to Molly and the guys que has

797
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: sown great sound effects from you two over there. All right.

798
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Unless you have one of the top defenses in fantasy

799
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: the season, like the Seahawks or Bears, it can be

800
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: smart to stream defenses, which means picking up a new

801
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: one off the waiver wire each week. Adam, I know

802
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: you are a big fan of this strategy, fan of this.

803
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: I never draft a defense. I'll just shuffle them like cards, right,

804
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: and it keeps you on your toes every week. We're

805
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: a little different. We're opposite, as you can see. I mean,

806
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm a guy that drafted to defenses because I totally

807
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: believe in defense. And no it's not because I'm a

808
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: defensive guy. I just think defenses are people too. They

809
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: are and they win championships, but maybe not in fantasy.

810
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Rams here. I think this one's

811
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: self explanatory. I hate that I'm always taking shots of

812
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: the Jags, but I am yeah. And Michael Fabiano talked

813
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: about this earlier in the show. We're this is his

814
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: number one defense of the entire week over everybody, over

815
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: some of those high powered defenses you are talking about,

816
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: like the Barras, and it's because this matchup is too

817
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: good and we're finding a lot of this. If you're

818
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: one of these guys who does stream defenses or shuffle

819
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it, you're being rewarded,

820
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: and this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, you will definitely

821
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: be rewarded with that. They should be the one. Remember

822
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: what I told you, Get the jokers out of the deck,

823
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Adam Rank and hold all those cards. Okay, the Jets

824
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: Monday Night football rookie quarterback banged up receiving corps makes

825
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons a good look out far. Absolutely. That's all

826
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: the workings of what you want in a defense. So

827
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: when you are streaming, you don't want the buffering happening.

828
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: When it happened when you get to the Atlanta Falcons,

829
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: that's because they're gonna be able to bring out different

830
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: looks to confuse the young quarterback, and that's very hard.

831
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: And when you look at the Atlanta Falcons, I know

832
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: they haven't been up impressive upfront with their pass rush,

833
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: but now all of a sudden, they can bring different

834
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: blitz packages, get General Smith out of the pocket, get

835
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: him making mistakes, and we saw him turn the ball

836
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: over a lot last week. I think you're going to

837
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: see more of that with this Falcon's defense. A very

838
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: good pick up this week. Speaking of turnovers, guys, you

839
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: know who's really good at doing that, the Giants, and

840
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: which makes the Eagles a good play. Yeah, this is

841
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: a surprising play because I started talking about the Eagles

842
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: when I put out my rankings earlier this week, and

843
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: people like why the Eagles, And it's basically just the matchup,

844
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 1: and the Giants haven't been playing well and as you said,

845
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: Eli Manning has been turning the ball over at an

846
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: alarming rate. So I like the Eagles to be very

847
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: opportunistic here. And I mentioned this earlier. I really want

848
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson to return a punk because you get

849
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: special teams points too, So I like that greediness. Yeah,

850
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: let's be greedy and The problem is that a lot

851
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: of people are kind of hip to this, So you've

852
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: got to start looking at teams like the Eagles, who

853
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: have great matchups. We're hip to it now, that's for

854
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: sure a bar. Alright, how about Oakland? They've got some

855
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: injury concerns, so making the Chargers the teams you can well,

856
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: you know, this is a really good matchup because when

857
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: you look at it, yes, the San Diego Chargers are

858
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna be without Dwight Frenny, but that's not the defense.

859
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: The San Diego Chargers, they are guys that are going

860
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: to scheme you. They're gonna scheme this Oakland Raiders offense

861
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: that has a banged up Tarrell Prior coming back, of course,

862
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: a banged up Darren McFadden. They've only allowed to rush touchdown.

863
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: So we'll let you take that into consideration. How are

864
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: they gonna get the ball in the end, Zoe. They're

865
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to pass it. They've struggled in

866
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: that department. They're gonna solely rely on Tarrell Prior, and

867
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: I think the San Diego Chargers and John Pagano can

868
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: stop to roll Prior by himself. So if you're playing

869
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the match up week to week with defenses. Those are

870
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: good plays unlike ak Bar. You guys, both the Kings

871
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: in my deck coming up. We're serving up all the

872
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: starts and sits you need to know before you finish

873
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: setting your lineup. Don't go away. NFL Fantasy Live is

874
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: back right after this. We're done talking about this week's

875
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: episode of Sons of Energy. So now we're gonna take

876
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: a look at some of the burning questions facing fantasy

877
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: owners as we round the corner into Week five. No

878
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: bigger one than this one. Mr a Rank can Peyton

879
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: Mann and keep up this other world? Of course you can.

880
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: There is no other quarterback I would want to the

881
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: regular season in Week sixteen, the Fantasy super Bowl. He's

882
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: got the Texans indoors. He'll be great when the regular

883
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: playoffs start. That's okay, that's not our concern, all right.

884
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: How about RG three? It was he a top ten

885
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: He finishes a top ten fantasy quarter Absolutely he is.

886
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna shake off the whole knee thing

887
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: and be right back into it. He's got to run

888
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: more though. Yeah, you're gonna be RG three. You gotta

889
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: do it, all right, Let's put a minute on the clock,

890
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: rapid fire. Tell me if you'll start or sit these

891
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: players this week. First up, Andrew Luck against the Seahawks.

892
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: Set him, set him, do not like the matchup. I'm

893
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna sit him, full Sit Sam Bradford. Every time you

894
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: think he's got a great matchup, he fails. Sit him.

895
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna start him. I trusted him about as

896
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: much as I trusted Walter White. No Sean Marino, start

897
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: on might like the matchup. I like Marino this week.

898
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: I like him to pound the table. No Sean Murray,

899
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: Austin Pettish sneaky flex play. Yes started, I'm not. You're

900
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: gonna say away from Wilson Pittis start him. He is

901
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: my PPR sleeper of the week, deep sleeper. Steve Smith

902
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: start him. I like to match up. I'm gonna go

903
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: see him. I'm gonna start him all right. Russell Wilson

904
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: start him, Absolutely started him. He's coming off upon is

905
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back Williams flex starter. But I don't love it.

906
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: You just traded him to I know I'm going with

907
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: a sit. Not a lot of great options at running back.

908
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm starting him all right. Dwayne bow him Bye bye.

909
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: He hates my fantasy team. Now he had first team,

910
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: My best him and he had a good game. All right. Tomorrow,
