1 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: It's Thursday, September seventh, twenty twenty three. Welcome to the 2 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG. Marcus 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Grant's coming up on the show. We are previewing the 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: late Sunday and Monday games from week one and giving 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: you our season opening fantasy heroes play more games to 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: get to. On the Sunday slate, we've got the Green 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, the long time rivalry 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: in the NFCED North and the Packers. I don't know 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: if you heard this. They don't have Aaron Rodgers anymore. 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: I know it's complete shocker since when you know what 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: it just it just rolled across my desk. 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: I'm just finding out about this. No one's talked about it. 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: It's weird. 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: So what do we expect though for this Packers offense 15 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: now that they don't have number twelve calling the signals there? 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 3: I think it's going to look very, very different than 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: it has with Aaron Rodgers there. Look, Jordan Love does 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: bring I'm upside, but we have no idea what this 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: offense is going to look like with Jordan Love. It's 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: been a very long time since we haven't seen it 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: with Aaron Rodgers. Plus right now Romeo Dobbs and suddenly 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: Christian Watson are dealing with injuries. If that is the 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: case and those guys end up missing, I think you 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: start Aaron Jones. You could consider Jayden Reed maybe in 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: deeper leagues, but I kind of avoid this offense if 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: those guys are heard. 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a very run 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: heavy offense, especially early in the season. I think Aaron 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: Jones sees a lot of work. I think aj Dillon 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: gets a lot of work. And the Bears run defense 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: last year was not great. You will see if they 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: have shored it up a little bit, but they were 33 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: not very good against the posing ground game, so that 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: could take some of the pressure off Jordan Love. No 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: one's expecting Love to be Aaron Rodgers, that's just an 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: unfair expectation. And now you've got Christian Watson Romeo Dobbs 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: a little bit banged up, so that takes away from 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: what passing game they do have. 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: I just think this is going to. 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: Look more like a traditional sort of ground pound offense 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: until everything sort of gets on track in the next 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. The Las Vegas Raiders taking on one 43 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: of their big rivals, the Denver Broncos. In Week one 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: last year, the Broncos offense let us down in a 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: huge way. How are you handling anybody from Denver in 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Week one this year? 47 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: So much so depends on if Jerry Judy plays or not, 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: Like I'm kind of hoping he doesn't because then it's 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: a little bit more straightforward. If he plays, we gotta 50 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: worry if he's gonna be on a snap count, and 51 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: then it kind of makes the other receivers they're more questionable. 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 4: So if he plays, I think I'm getting away from everyone. 53 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 4: But if he. 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: Sits, I think Corton Sutton is someone you could start. 55 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: I think Marvin Mims would be a nice Week one sleeper. 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: I'm also starting Javonte Williams. I think he is going 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: to get a lot of targets and the Raiders last 58 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: year we're in the top three and catches allowed to 59 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: running backs. 60 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: I think Courtland Sutton is very much in play. I 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: am skeptical that Jerry Judy is going to be available for. 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: This one, and I think that really helps Sutton. 63 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: There's been talked that he's going to sort of occupy 64 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: the Michael Thomas role in the Broncos offense. And that 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: doesn't mean again he's not going to catch one hundred 66 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: and fifty passes, but that does mean he's going to 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: get opportunity. This is going to be a game predicated 68 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: on short, quick passing, asking Russell Wilson to get the 69 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: ball out on time and be accurate. That's going to 70 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: help Courtland Sutton a lot. So I think he sees 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: a lot of work in week one. Say, if you're 72 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: looking for a deep sleeper this week, Samaje p Ryan 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: could be in play because I think they're going to 74 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: use him a lot. Sean Payton loves using two running backs. 75 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: I think they take it slow early in the season 76 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: with Javonte Williams, and so I think p Ryan is 77 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: going to get some opportunity, especially the first few weeks 78 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: of the season.

Game is gonna be played right next 82 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: to the way we're currently sitting over at SOFI Stadium. 83 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins at the Los Angeles Chargers. This has 84 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: the makings of a complete track meet. Is there anybody 85 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: you are not starting in this game? 86 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: On the Charger side, Herbert's a must start, Allen is 87 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: a must start, Eckler must start, Mike Williams must start. 88 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: Quentin Johnston, I'm starting him in. 89 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: A couple of leagues. 90 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: I also have a couple of leagues where I drafted 91 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: him as my wide receiver four, and I'm not necessarily 92 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: getting him in my starting lineup. 93 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 4: On the Dolphins side two I think is in play. 94 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: Raheem Moster, I think is in plays A strong RB 95 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: two or flex option in Hill and Waddle are must starts. 96 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: So pretty much everyone, I'm gonna all the big names. 97 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent starting. 98 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got all those guys. I like Gerald Everett 99 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: this week. Especially. Look if you have Travis Kelcey and 100 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: he may not play, I think you look at Gerald 101 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Everett as a guy who's available on waiver wires. You 102 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: go pick him up and you can plug him in 103 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: and get him to play. So I think he's out 104 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: there as well. Look again, it depends on how deep 105 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: your league is. In shallower leagues, you're probably not going 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: Quinton Johnston you're probably not going devon a chain, but 107 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: if you're in deeper leagues, those guys could be in 108 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: play for you this week and what it should be 109 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: a really entertaining game if you like offense. That was 110 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: Who's Going to Eat presented by Uber Eats, official on 111 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: demand food delivery partner of the NFL. 112 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: Even if you make the wrong fantasy lineup call, make 113 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: the right call on delivery order with Uber Eats. Today. 114 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Eagles at the Patriots. This was a Super Bowl matchup 115 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: not that long ago. The Patriots though, trying to sort 116 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: of find their way while the Eagles are trying to 117 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: get back to the Super Bowl this year. The backfield 118 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia kind of a mess. How are you handling 119 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: the Eagles running backs in Week one? 120 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 121 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: This has been the thing that we've been trying to 122 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: figure out all summer, is this Eagles backfield. And I've 123 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: kind of ended where I started. I think DeAndre Swift 124 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 3: is going to be the clear RB one here. He 125 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: could do it on the ground, he'd be involved in 126 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: the passing game. And I know people are like, oh, well, 127 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: Jalen hurts him throw to the Eagle. These are the 128 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: running backs A whole lot last season, could they do 129 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: some more? I think that's a quarterback thing, so I'm 130 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: not anticipating that. But if Swift is getting you know, 131 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: sixty percent of the carries there, he can have a 132 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 3: very very big. 133 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 4: Game end season. 134 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: Everything that you read about this backfield says they want 135 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Swift to be the guy. The reason there are other 136 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: people in the mix is because DeAndre Swift has had 137 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: injury issues over his career. Now, the guy right behind 138 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: him is Rashad Penny, who has sort of been the 139 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: dictionary definition issue of injury issues throughout his career as well. 140 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: That is the reason people think Kenneth Gangell was going 141 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: to get a lot of work. It's not because people 142 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: believe Kenneth gain Well is better than the other two. 143 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: They just think that he's the more durable of the two. 144 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: So if I've got DeAndre Swift, I will put him 145 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: in the lineup. But I'm also sort of aware that 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: other guys are lurking and that the Patriots are a 147 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: pretty good run defense as well, so that's something to 148 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: sort of keep in mind. So I would start Swift. 149 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm not incredibly super excited about what his prospects might 150 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: be in week one against that New England defense. We 151 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: are not done yet, still a handful of games more 152 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: to go, so we'll take a quick break, come back 153 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: and preview the rest of the weekend slate that's coming 154 00:06:51,400 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: up on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Three more games 155 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: to get to. We'll start with the Rams at the Seahawks, 156 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: big matchup in the NFC West. Cooper Cup has been 157 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: dealing with a specialist trying to figure out his hamstring issue, 158 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: and it looks very likely that he won't play in 159 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: Week one and maybe even a couple of weeks beyond that. 160 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: So with Cooper Cup expected to be out, who do 161 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: you like in that Rams offense to replace him in? 162 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: For the Rams, I think Tyler Higbee is going to 163 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: be the top target, and then Puka Nakua is a 164 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: sleeper that I like here. He was the only player 165 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: last year with five or more rushing and receiving touchdowns. 166 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: In college, big slot guy. 167 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: I think he could kind of be the poor man's 168 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: Robert Woods in this offense. But the real answer is, 169 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: you probably don't want Rams receiver to replace Cooper Cup. 170 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: You probably want to go to your bench or even 171 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: the waiver wire, like check if Elijah Moore might be 172 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: out there or. 173 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: Any of the names you mentioned on the waiver wire. 174 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: That's the thing. 175 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: It's Tyler Higbee, and after that it really is sort 176 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: of up in the air. I have been a self 177 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: proclaimed van stand when it comes to van Je, but 178 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: even that, I don't have a high level of confidence 179 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: that he can earn targets on a consistent basis with 180 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup out of action. So it's Tyler Higbee and 181 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: then it's probably searched the waiver wire. By the way, 182 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: on the other side, for the Seattle Seahawks, Jackson Smith 183 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: and Jigba was dealing with an injury throughout the preseason. 184 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Signs point toward him being available this week in Week one, 185 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Would you start JSN if you have him this week? 186 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: No, I think it's too risky. He could be on 187 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: a snap count or anything. 188 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 4: Plus there's two other huge. 189 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: Target vacuums there, so I kind of want to see 190 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 3: him earn it and prove that he's healthy as well. 191 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: I would wait on JSN. 192 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: I think he has a nice ceiling long term, but 193 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: not in Week one coming off an injury. Sunday Night 194 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Football the Dallas Cowboys after New York Football Giants, huge 195 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: rivalry in the NFC East. We know the studs on 196 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: both sides, whether it's Ceedee Lamb, Tony Pollard, Sakuon Barkley, 197 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: Darren Waller, you're starting anybody outside of those guys, I'm. 198 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 3: Gonna try to avoid it if possible. Like I have 199 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones as a sit this week. He played the 200 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: Cowboys twice last year. He threw one total touchdown and 201 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: was like two hundred and twenty five yards or less 202 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: in each game. He could run to salvage his day. 203 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: But Dak Prescott, I think is in. He's a borderline start. 204 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: But if for me, I have a lot of other 205 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that I was ranked ahead of him in targeting 206 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: and drafting over Dak the Giants. Like I love Joylen Hyatt, 207 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: but I'm not starting him Week one. Same thing with 208 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks. I feel good about him long term. 209 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 4: I just don't. 210 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: I think this could be a defensive matchup between two 211 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 3: teams that know each other very very well. 212 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: His expectation is gonna be a lot of points score, 213 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: but it just doesn't feel like there are ever a 214 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: lot of points scores when the Cowboys play the Giants. 215 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: I could be talked into starting Dak. 216 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: I would definitely try and start Brandon Cooks, especially if 217 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm in a three wide receiver league. I've really been 218 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: touting Brandon Cooks, so I'm gonna sort of back that 219 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: up and say that he is startable this week. In 220 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: really really deep leagues, I would take a swing at 221 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: Jalen Hyatt just because he's the only wide receiver that 222 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I feel confident in right now, just because he's the 223 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: only guy that I think can pick up yards in 224 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: chunks there. But even that I don't feel one hundred 225 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: percent great about. But other than that, it is the 226 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: four big names that we mentioned at the top of 227 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: this conversation. 228 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: Here. 229 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Last game of the week Monday Night Football, the Buffalo 230 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: Bills against the New York Jets. Both these teams bring 231 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: very great defenses to the table. They have very good quarterbacks. 232 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: They do have some top level wide receivers. Which players 233 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: are you comfortable starting in this game because the defenses 234 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: are so good? 235 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: So on Liten the Bill's side, I think Josh Allen 236 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 3: is a must start, so is Stefan Diggs. I'm still 237 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: starting James cook and then after that, I kind of 238 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: want to get away from everyone. Kincaid I think is 239 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: in play as like a sleeper tight end. 240 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: For the Jets side. 241 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 3: I'm gonna start one of their running backs if I'm 242 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: in a position where I don't love my other options. 243 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: And then Garrett Wilson, and that's kind of it. 244 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: I got all the names that you have right there, 245 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't I want to take a wait and see 246 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: attitude with Dalton Kincaid. He's a guy that I love 247 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: that I've drafted that I've talked a lot about Week. 248 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: One against the Jets defense. 249 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mess with it if I had other options, 250 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: and I hope you have other options besides just Dalton Kinkaid. 251 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: So I like. On the other side, I do like 252 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I mentioned at the start of the show 253 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: that I might consider Breise Hall as well, but that 254 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: is sort of it. There are't a lot of Jets 255 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: pass catchers beyond Garrett Wilson. I don't really like this year, 256 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: but Rogers. Would you sit him? I probably would, because 257 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: if I drafted Rogers, I also have another quarterback as well. 258 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: I didn't. 259 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: I would not draft Rogers to be my full time 260 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: starting quarterback this year. 261 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: Rogers easily could go back to being great or maybe 262 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: last year with Sons as a club, Like I need 263 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: to see it before I just completely throw him back 264 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: in with comfort. 265 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: He could be mid again like he was last year. 266 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: He was very mid last season, and this might even 267 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: be the week to tell. Against the Bills defense, they 268 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: make a lot of people look mid, so this might 269 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: not even be the best week to completely evaluate it. 270 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: There you go. 271 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: That's a look at these slay of games for Week one. 272 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Now it's time for some fantasyes. These are the guys 273 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: we think are going to lift your team to victory. 274 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: Maybe not necessarily the big top line elite guys, because 275 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: that's certainly easy, but maybe a step or two below that. 276 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: So for you, who is going to put on the 277 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: kpe and be your hero this week? JK. 278 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 3: Dobbins And I know I was not the biggest Dobbins. 279 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 3: I was far from it. It's the Dobbins biggest Dobbins 280 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: supporter heading into the regular season. 281 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: But this is all about the matchup. 282 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: Last year, the Texans allowed the most fantasy points, rushing yards, 283 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: and touchdowns to running backs. They allowed the most yards 284 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 3: on outside carries and the third most on inside carries, 285 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: and this is a game where I think the Ravens 286 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: will be playing with the lead, which probably means a 287 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 3: whole lot of JK. Dobbins grinding out the clock. I 288 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: think he is a mustard option if you. 289 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: Have him on your fantasy Very much like JK. Dobbins. 290 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: This week we talked about the Ravens running backs. I 291 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: like him a lot. This week, I also like Mike Williams. 292 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: In that game against the Miami Dolphins, we talked about 293 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: the fact that it could be a score fest, and 294 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for is this new offense with Ke 295 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: and more. A lot of talk that this could be 296 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: a more vertical passing game than what we have seen 297 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: previously from the Lightning Bolts letting. You got a quarterback 298 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: with a big arm and Justin Herbert, why not let 299 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: him uncork some shots down the field. 300 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: That is where Mike Williams thrives. 301 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: So I think in a game that could be back 302 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: and forth, I expect they're going to take their shots 303 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: with big Mike will and I think he's gonna have 304 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: a really nice week in Week one. Those are the 305 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: guys we think will kpe up your fantasy heroes this week. 306 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: In the meantime, we are going to set it down 307 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: back at headquarters and get ready for which should be 308 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: a whole fun weekend of football.
