Speaker 1: of Famer Adam Rank, defending Experts League Champion and champion

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: two of the last three years. Here at NFL Fantasy Live,

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Ninja, Akbar, Bosja Biamila and Molly Carram, all

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: part of today's show will have a full preview of

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens Broncos Thursday Night football clash. Pr Garson stops

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: by to talk his fantasy thoughts for this season. We'll

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: give you some scary matchups for week one and some

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: free agents you might want to just wait and see

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: on check out this tweet from injured Seahawks wide receiver

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin. When is you're gonna come back? Well, what's

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: going on up twelfth man? Just checking in. I'm making

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: serious progress. Keep an eye on week seven. Don't hang

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: them elevens up. We working so Percy Harvin says he's

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: coming back, barking. You pick him up when you let

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: him say, you know, I let Percy Harvin sit. And

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: then for a couple of reasons, one because if you're

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: in a deeper league, I mean, maybe you want to

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: pick him up, but I'm saying it's gonna take him

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: a long time before he's able to get back. So

22
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: you think about week seven and then you think about

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: how long it takes an athlete coming off of an

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: injury like that, the mental element and the physical element.

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: That's extra four weeks. That's about eleven weeks total. All right,

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: good news on the fantasy front. Injury wise, lady on

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Bell couldn't be back earlier than expected. Mike Tomlin said,

28
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: the reason he's not playing Week one FATS is because

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: of lack of practice time, not injury. So what do

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: you do here? He is still a free agent NFL

31
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: dot Com league. I'm telling you right now, pick him

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: up if he's available on your league. Levian Bell is

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna end up being the featured back in Pittsburgh. That's

34
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: what we talked about during the preseason before he got injured.

35
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: We all thought he was gonna be out for a while.

36
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Looks like he's not. Grab him right now. If he's

37
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: a free agent. Wow, alright, And if you have Isaac Redmund,

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: well it's enjoy week one that Let's take a look

39
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: at the Ravens and Broncos on opening Night, Jay, thank

40
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you so much. The Ravens in Broncos face off in

41
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: Denver tonight, and that means the NFL season is officially

42
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: underway just a few sure hours. We are pumped up

43
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: Molly cam here joined by Adam Rank with our Thursday

44
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: night preview. Of course, next week it's the Jets Pats game.

45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: They'll be right here on NFL Network. But let's focus

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: tonight on the defending champs from Baltimore. Let's take a

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: look at some player is to watch on the Ravens here,

48
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Mr Rank, Ray Rice a top five pick in most drafts.

49
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: My friend, he should be too. Ray Rice is so

50
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: versatile in this offense, and on a team that needs versatility,

51
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: somebody who can catch in run. Ray Rice is going

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: to have a huge game. I like that he can.

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: He's just so good out of the back field. I

54
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: know Bernard Pierce came on at the end of last

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: season and kind of took a little bit of production

56
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: away from him, and people got a little bit concerned

57
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: and ray Rice started to fall down draft boards. Don't

58
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: be concerned. Both guys will probably be on the field

59
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: a lot, but ray Rice is still the center priest

60
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: of this offense. He's going to be counted on in

61
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: so many different ways. He's a great play tonight, great

62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: guy in a PPR league as well, of course. Alright,

63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore's ground game well established. Joe Flacco in the new

64
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: look passing attack that remains a work in progress, but

65
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: he'll be targeting Tory Smith for sure. Yeah. The one

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: thing about Joe Flacco, people don't seem to separate fantasy

67
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: from reality. All the time they see super Bowl winning quarterback,

68
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: he must be a great fantasy play. That's not necessarily

69
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the case, and I don't like him tonight. The quarterback

70
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: position has so much depth. Odds, are you drafted a

71
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: stud in your fantasy leagues? Go ahead and start them.

72
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I know you want to get into the action immediately,

73
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: have a guy starting on Thursday night, but don't do

74
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: it with Joe Flacco. Leave him on your bench. But

75
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Tori Smith is a guy you can go ahead and play.

76
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for him to kind of break out

77
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: and be that elite number one fantasy receiver. He can

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: do that with no an. Does that help his stock? Absolutely?

79
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be targeted the most. And then Dennis Pitt

80
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: is not there too, so he's got to look for somebody.

81
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Ray Rice. Tori Smith will get the majority of those targets.

82
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: And you gotta like him. You saw you started him,

83
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: you saw him start to break out at the end

84
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: of last year. He look fantastic in the playoffs. Champ

85
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Bailey's not playing tonight. I don't know if that's good

86
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: or bad. I kind of want a Champ Bailey to play,

87
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: so Tori Smith can burn him over and over again.

88
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: But either way, Tory Smith is gonna be plenty of

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: storylines in this game. Already. Let's switch gears to the

90
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Broncos side of things and show you all those starters. Therefore,

91
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: we should be watching. And it all begins with that guy,

92
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: of course, Mr Automatic. It seems during the regular season,

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: especially early on, Peyton Manning is so far ahead of

94
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: the competition that you want to go ahead and play him.

95
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: The Marius Thomas, Eric Decker, These guys are safe to

96
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: play even less well. There's so many different ways you

97
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: can go with this. All hinges on Peyton men He

98
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: makes these guys so much better. He's so automatic. I

99
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: love the way he is prepared for the season, and

100
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: that's The big thing is that he always I as

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: I said, he always see professional. He's so consistent, focused,

102
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: and he always hits the ground running. If you watch

103
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: year and year out, his week one production is always

104
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: top notch. So the big story in the off season

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: obviously them acquiring Wes Welker, But what about some of

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: those other receivers who has fantasy value? The Marius Thomas

107
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: has a lot of fantasy value. Of course, he is

108
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: a number one receiver, top five potential kind of guy.

109
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: Eric Decker also he catches a lot of touchdowns. But

110
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the Maarrius Thomas is the guy that you should be

111
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: focusing on. He showed when he was playing with Tim

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Tebow that he can make any quarterback good. But now

113
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: he's got Peyton Manning one of the best in the game.

114
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Therries Thomas, He's just unstoppable, and with Russ Welker there,

115
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: that's going to actually open it up a little bit

116
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: for him because you're not gonna be able to key

117
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: on him so much. So if you got to Marrius Thomas,

118
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: start him, start West Welker, to start everybody. I'm like,

119
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm throwing it around. And they've got another guy, Eric Decker,

120
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: who has a reality show right now, right, Yeah, you know,

121
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to comment too much on the reality show,

122
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: but he's a good option. The one thing I like

123
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: about Decker is that he catches touchdowns. And when West

124
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Welker came in, that's not going to eat an egg.

125
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Eric Decker's game. Eric Decker's game is in the red

126
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: zone catching touchdowns. He should still be able to do that.

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: Still a pretty good option for you coming up, Adam.

128
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I always trust a guy in a three piece suit.

129
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: But one thing is missing from your projections the Broncos

130
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: running backs, Ronnie Hillman. You're not taking the bait on

131
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: this guy. How come I can't? Ronnie Hillman fumbles the

132
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: ball once he's out of the game, they put in

133
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: Monty Ball. If he misses a block in Peyton Mann,

134
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: he gets hit, he's out of the game. Then here

135
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: comes no Sean Arena. But you can't trust no Sean

136
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: moreno either. It's it's ground zero for Shannahannigans. Of course,

137
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Shannah Hannigan's being the art of deceiving fantasy owners and

138
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: not letting us know who's going to be the main

139
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: running back. So you can't trust any of the Broncos guys, hopefully,

140
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: And it all started in Denver. It all started in

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: Denver John Fox, of course, he did it in Carolina

142
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Stewart and D'angela Williams. It's all very annoying.

143
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't appreciate it, and I'm not gonna I don't

144
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: even want to touch it. But hopefully in the next

145
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks the situation will become a little bit

146
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: more clear. But right now, on Thursday night, you don't

147
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: want to go to work on Friday morning and have

148
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: everybody making funny you because you started Ronnie Heilmany got

149
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: your negative two points. No, don't do that to here's

150
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: a little murky that backfield. And as our friend Jason

151
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Smith always says, it's too bad he doesn't earn points

152
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: for fumbles at Ronnie Hillman. All right, don't forget. If

153
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: you still haven't signed up for a fantasy league, there

159
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: thanks a lot. Let's look now, look ahead to the

160
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: rest of the week. And if you're already looking at

161
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, well, okay, you're in a little bit

162
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: of trouble. But you still might see some intriguing names.

163
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you should be using a roster

164
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: spot on them. So let's take a look at some

165
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: of these players. Awkward, you want us to pump the

166
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: brakes if you see Aaron Dobson's name on your waiver wire, Yeah,

167
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: you do. You want to pump the brakes on Aaron

168
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Dobson just because he's a rookie right now, he's got

169
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: to get accustomed to this Bill Belichick's offense. What I

170
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: look for though, in a wide receiver, when you're looking

171
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: at a guy that may not get a lot of targets,

172
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: is how does he do when he doesn't have the ball?

173
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Is he open? That's what Tom Brady is gonna look at.

174
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Does he get off the press? Can he find the

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: holes in the defenses. That's what is going to signify

176
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: if this is gonna be a receiver that they're going

177
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: to be going to a lot. So receivers can also

178
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: be watched, even if they don't have the ball thrown

179
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: to him. So I'm keeping my eye on Aaron Dobson.

180
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Fabis quarterback position is deep. Can you afford to wait

181
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: and see on Terrell Prior? I have actually drafted throughout

182
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Prior in a few leaks, and you guys know, I'm

183
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: on board with this kid, not because he's the best

184
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League, but because he can

185
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: run with the football. When I start him this week,

186
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: probably not unless I'm gonna lead where you start two quarterbacks.

187
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: But it's a wait and see approach. He's available in

188
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues on NFL dot Com, and I

189
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: have a sneaky suspicion he will be seen. He will

190
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: be seeing his production go up weekend week out, and

191
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: just playing the colostest weekend. They haven't made good against

192
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the run historically. He has the potential to be like

193
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: a Cam Newton from a couple of years ago. He

194
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: has a big game Week one. Whoever has that first

195
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: overall pick is going to snatch him up. So that's

196
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: one thing to watch out for Terrell Prior. Other news

197
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: we didn't expect to talk about this, Let's be honest,

198
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: Michael Fabriana says all the time, what's one of your

199
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: big tenants of fantasy? Why are we talking about the

200
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Jets exactly? But this week balal Powell is listed as

201
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: the starting running back for the New York Jets. And

202
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: let's face it, he had a very good preseason and

203
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: even last year when Shawn Green was the number one

204
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: running back, power saw a lot of time. He saw

205
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: drives all to himself. He got carries in the red zone.

206
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Balal Powell is someone you have to keep your eye

207
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: on fast because he's got some fantasy value, which is

208
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: not great news. If you drafted Chris Ivory, have to

209
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: keep tabs on it. But I still don't buy the

210
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: fact that Chris Ivory is not gonna lead this team

211
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: in backfield carries, that Chris Ivory is not going to

212
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: leave this team in backfield touches. We'll see what happens.

213
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: I don't expect good things for me. They're one of

214
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: these two guys. Remember playing the Buccaneers, who average who

215
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: allowed the huest rushing yards per game last season? Pretty

216
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: good up front. So I'm benching Chris Ivy this week

217
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: unless you're desk prefer three all Paula is still not

218
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: on my radar just yet, guys. Yeah, he's not on

219
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: my radar, right. I'm staying away from the entire backfield

220
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: pretty much. Right. Here's some other wait and see guys,

221
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: John Baldwin to see how things go in San Francisco

222
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: for him, Brandon Reid, remember the I think it's been

223
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: fifty thousand executive games where the Browns have thrown less

224
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: than two touchdown passes. And thanks to our stats man

225
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: Sudadell for that one. So again, these are guys who

226
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: want to wait and see on and revisit after Week one.

227
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: Still to common NFL fantasy love, Watchkin Redskins wide out

228
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson joins us love. We'll ask him how he

229
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: plans to take the next step in our nation's capital.

230
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Plus the week one matchups that scare us are just ahead.

231
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: See why we have a head feeling about all York

232
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers on Sunday. That's next. He's the middle on

233
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: the flots. You have the pocket hit as he throws

234
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: hash is he intercepted and the balls tore sed that

235
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: throws pastim be intercepted. There comes to rush. Sanchez goes down,

236
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: rambles forward goes and a mix up in the bield

237
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: as the rent trouble behind way pass is intercepted. Really,

238
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: we had to show the butt for all right. It's

239
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: not quite Friday the thirteenth yet, but we're getting in

240
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the spirit a little bit early here on NFL Fantasy Live.

241
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: We're here to help you avoid a Week one fantasy

242
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: horror story with our matchups that's scarce in the Week

243
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: one and we'll start with the quarterbacks. Rank is already

244
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: scared right away a little bit, A little bit, okay,

245
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: little edgie. Now, somebody who had as your big sleeper

246
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: this season as someone who scares you, Jake Cutler. I

247
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: like him as a sleeper for the upcoming season, but

248
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: I feel like this week is not the week to

249
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: play Jay Cutler. I understand. I feel like I'm on

250
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: an island defending Jay Cutler. But he's got a new

251
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: coordinator with Mark Tressman. Brandon Marshall is there, He's got

252
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, so he's gonna have a good season, but

253
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: he's got a terrible matchup this week against the Bengals.

254
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: The Bengals are very tough on fantasy quarterback. They've allowed

255
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: the fifth fewest points the fantasy quarterback going back to

256
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: the two thousand and twelve season. They don't allow anybody

257
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: to throw for three hundred yards against him, So it

258
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: is a very bad matchup, and you've probably drafted a

259
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: stud quarterback. That's one of the great things about fantasy

260
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: football this year is that you probably got a stud.

261
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: If you're in a ten or twelve team league, go

262
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: with that guy, but leave James Cutler. There would be

263
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: a time where you can play Jay Cutler Michael. There

264
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: will be trust me three times. Trusting Cartler to being

265
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: your fantasy quarterback is like trusting Lacey Underall to be

266
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: your girlfriend. One guy that I don't trust this week

267
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: and who scares me as Cam Newton. Now. I know

268
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you drafted Cam Newton to be your number one quarterback,

269
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: and if you don't have a solid number two, you

270
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: should start Cam Newton. But I would start Matt Stafford

271
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: over Cam Newton. I'd start Tony Romo over Cam Newton.

272
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: I'd started Matt Ryan over Cam Newton. If you think

273
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: having those two quarterbacks on your same team as crazy,

274
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: it happens because I get questions on Twitter about it

275
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: all the time. He only had twelve completions last year

276
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: in his home game against the Seattle Seahawks, and they

277
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: have one of the toughest defenses in the National Football League. Know,

278
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: by the way, one of the best defenses in fantasy football. Again,

279
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: don't tweet me and say I started Andy Dalton over

280
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, you blew it for me, Fabriato, because I'm

281
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: not telling you to do that. I'm not telling you

282
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: do that if you have a good two bench Kim Newton,

283
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: Michael Fabianto trusting his saliva lot for that one. Now,

284
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: when it comes to Rams running backs against the Cardinals

285
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: rank take a look at the last fifteen games. Two

286
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns by Rams running backs in fifteen straight games against Arizona.

287
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: What does this mean for Darryl Richardson. Darrell Richardson is

288
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: another guy that I like, is a sleeper going into

289
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: the two thousand and thirteen season, a guy that you

290
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: can put into the flex spot at certain points during

291
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: the year. This is not going to be one of

292
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: those times. This kind of stuff that we're seeing right

293
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: here right now, you're not going to see that against

294
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have a very tough defense.

295
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: A lot of times, it's hard for people to separate

296
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: fantasy from reality. You look at the way the Cardinals

297
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: finish the season last year, terrible record, not much going on.

298
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: You think this defense is not good, but it's a

299
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: fantasy defense, and it is a defense that can shut

300
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: down opponents. They are very good all right. Wide receiver wise,

301
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: you have to be very nervous about Mike Wallace. Week one,

302
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on Michael Fabiano, Hayden Islands, Cleveland Browns,

303
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: and he's someone who really fams you and I have

304
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: not been high in him this offseason. He doesn't fit

305
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: with this offense. What he did with the Pittsburgh Steelers

306
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: is wait till plays broke down. Roethlisberger kept the plays alive.

307
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: He caught four or five passes a week one was

308
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: for sixty five yards on a broken play. That's not

309
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: what the Dolphins do. I like the fact they're gonna

310
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: throw the football a lot this year because they have

311
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: to because their running game hasn't been what they thought

312
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: it was gonna be. But this week it's hard to

313
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: start Mike Wallace and three wide receivers just three half

314
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: had a thousand yards since Dan Marino retired in and

315
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: I hate those Jerseys. I'm not starting. No, I'm not

316
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: starting one guy. One other guy that I don't like

317
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: this week is Jordy Nelson. Now, look at the match

318
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: up against Sandrancis before the Owners. This is an extremely

319
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: bad matchup for Green Bays wide receivers. The Nighters have

320
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: had allowed one touchdown catch or less in ten of

321
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: the last eleven home games. That is a telling stat.

322
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: This defense is gonna be fired up. Now. I'm still

323
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: starting raydal Cole. I'm still starting Aaron Rodgers, of course.

324
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: But Jordy Nelson, who didn't do anything in the preseason

325
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: because he had a knee injury and knee surgery, he

326
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: scares me this weekend. Boys. And that's the thing about

327
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: the forty Niners is that you've got to really watch

328
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: the matchups. And when there's teams and there's players, and

329
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: there's guys like Jordy Nelson, then yes, I wouldn't play,

330
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: but your stars, you're sticking with stars. I would stick him.

331
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: If you have Marshawn Lynch going against the forty Niners,

332
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: he's had some success against them in the past, I

333
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: would go ahead and play him. Play Ray Rice against them,

334
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: and I would play established stars but when you're starting

335
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: to talk about guys like Jordy Nelson, I would start

336
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: to bench those guys. I would start to bench those guys.

337
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: What I'm saying Eddie Lazy. Eddie Lazy this week against

338
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense is one I would not like

339
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: to play because Eddie Lazy is probably a flex option

340
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues for people, but not against

341
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. One of the top two defenses in

342
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Seahawks, whatever you like, one of the

343
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: other top two defenses in the NFL. Tabs, how do

344
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: you take a look at this week when you you

345
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: have your players playing against the Seahawks. Remember when the

346
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: NFC West wasn't good? Boy, what a great defensive division

347
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: now and a great division overall. Again, I told you,

348
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: if you have a good number two bench Cam Newton,

349
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: D'Angel Williams, is value is rising. Sure because Jonathan Stewart's

350
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: on the pup I don't like him this week against

351
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks Steve Smith, I wouldn't start him as more than

352
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three, and I still have concerns about him.

353
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Even Greg Olson, who broke out last year. By the way,

354
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Rob Jasinsky is now gone. He's in Cleveland. I worry

355
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: about him as well. And the good thing is that

356
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: those positions, you're gonna have other options. Because you didn't

357
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: drop the Angel Williams to be your two or year three,

358
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: likely Steve Smith. You probably drafted a Missior three. You

359
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: might have a better option based on the matchups. By

360
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: the end of the year, you will be all four

361
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: of those NFC West defenses. You're gonna be very It's

362
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna be very tough to play against him. Yeah, those

363
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: are the best defense in the NFL. Are none still

364
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: to come. Our preseason preview of our fantasy awards is

374
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Michael and Molly here with you. All right, guys, I'm

375
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the price is right. So we're

376
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna plays a little game called higher or lower. So

377
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a number and you tell me

378
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: if these players will have a higher or lower number

379
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: of rushing attempts. We start with the number two d

380
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,119
Speaker 1: and twenty carries with Ahmad Bradshaw. Not the greatest preseason,

381
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: but what do you think? Well, I'm gonna go with higher.

382
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: And that's because a mod Brashaw, to me, is in

383
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: a great system. He's under pet Hamilton's now who came

384
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: over from Stamford, and he believes in running the ball

385
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: almost like John Gruden. I mean John Gruden believed in

386
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: running the ball, and that's the same philosophy that he

387
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: comes from. When you look at Stepan Taylor from Stamford

388
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: three two carries last season for him in the college game,

389
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: I think that he's gonna have about the same amount

390
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: of rushes. So I'm gonna go with three hundred carries

391
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: for mod Brashaw. That's gonna be big for fantasy football. Yeah,

392
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to Lashawn McCoy Adam two hundred and

393
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: fifty carries. Do you think you'll have more than that

394
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: in a Chip Kelly offense. I'm gonna say higher. You

395
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: know what I've been all in on Chip Kelly and

396
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: his high tempo offense, and I really love what it's

397
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna mean for Lashaw McCoy. More plays means more rushing attempts.

398
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: He'll hit that two fifty number. I look back at

399
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: what he had in two thousand eleven three touches pretty

400
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 1: close to that number for this season. I like him.

401
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: He entered the year as my number two running back

402
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. He's gonna get it. Jamal Charles two

403
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: five carries is the number of fads. How many times

404
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: do you think Andy Reid will have him carry the rocket?

405
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: I say he's gonna go under two eighty five, but

406
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very close. And that's the reason why

407
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: Andy Read likes to throw the football. So Jamal Charles

408
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: macy a slight downturn in carries, but he will see

409
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: a big up turn in receptions, which is why we

410
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: of them in PPR leagues where you get points for catches.

411
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: So down on the carriage slightly moving on up with

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: the receptions for how about a little. C J two

413
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: K to seventy five is the number Shawn Green's there. Now,

414
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: what do you think? You know? I absolutely love c

415
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: J two K. In fact, I have him going higher.

416
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: And that's because c J two K has two guys

417
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: on the inside that will be the anchor for him,

418
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: and that's Ambula Beetree and Chance war Make. When the

419
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans decided to beef up the offensive line with

420
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: those two interior guards, that's like putting brand new tires

421
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: and an engine on the car. C J two K

422
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be back to where he was before. I'm

423
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: calling for three and twenty five carries for c J

424
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: two K. That is bold. Let's keep this rapid pace going. Okay, guys,

425
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: let's zone in on wide else will they be targeted

426
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: more or less than last season? Sixty receptions for Mr

427
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson? What do you think? Oh, you know what,

428
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go higher just because Pierre Garson and Robert

429
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: Griffin they have that natural chemistry already, So I'm gonna

430
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: go hire for Pierre Garson. Yeah, definitely higher for Pierre

431
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: Garson last year, and remember he missed a lot of

432
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: time with foot injury. This year, I say he breaks out.

433
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: He has well over sixty. I think he could have

434
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: seventy or ready catches in that offense. If you looked

435
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: at the game tape when he was on the field

436
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: with r G three, those two made sweet music together.

437
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: Sweet Moving on, Adam. A hundred and forty targets is

438
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: the number for Victor Cruz. Last year, hockey knicks banged

439
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit. What do you think about this year.

440
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: He's had some injury concerns too. I'm gonna say Victor

441
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: Cruz does not hit that. I will go lower. The

442
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: thing about Victor Cruz, you hear a lot of talk

443
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: about him. You know, he's out doing commercials, he's out

444
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: hitting the club. He's got a batman couplings like you.

445
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: He's a big you know, he's got a big contract.

446
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't have as much to go for anymore. I

447
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: look for he keep knicks to come out and be

448
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: the focal point of that passing offense. He's the guy

449
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: who needs to get paid now, Victor Cruz, you see

450
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: it all the time when these guys get those big contracts,

451
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: get a little comfortable. I don't know that he has

452
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: the same drive that he had before, so I will

453
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: go lower with him. Speaking of receivers in the slot, Fabs,

454
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: Danny Ammudl and twenty targets higher and Noah, it's higher again.

455
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: This guy is like West Welker Light. He's going to

456
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: see a pile of targets from Tom Brady. Last year

457
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: He's had over a hundred targets and he missed five games.

458
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: So even dol Yes, we know he has some injury concerns.

459
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay on the positive side of things. I

460
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: say he plays at least fourteen games and his targets,

461
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: guys are over a hundred. All right, Let's take a

462
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: look at some mobile quarterbacks this year. Will they run

463
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: more or less awkward? We're gonna start with r G

464
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: three hundred Russia attempts. According to Mike Shanahan, he's not

465
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: going to be running as much. You know, that's the

466
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: big question everybody wants to know in fantasy football. Are're

467
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna get that same type of big bang for your

468
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: buck like you did his rookie year. I'm gonna say

469
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: lower for r G three. I think there's legitimate concern

470
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: when you have a franchise quarterback like r G three,

471
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: you want to preserve his health. Now, I can say,

472
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: as a defensive player, when you know you're going up

473
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: against a mobile quarterback, the fear is already in the defense,

474
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: so he's already run in that in that area. They

475
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: know he has the ability, so they're always gonna stay disciplined,

476
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: be a little hesitant on r G three. But I

477
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: think Mike Shanahan is gonna showcase Arging three's ability to

478
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Let me tell you when you watch

479
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: him at Baylor, he's not only just a mobile quarterback.

480
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: He can throw. This year is going to be the

481
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: year that he showcased his arm. All eyes will be

482
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: on him. They will also all be on Colin Kaepernick

483
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: eighty five rush attempts. He only played half a season

484
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: last year. He's got that right. Of course, it's gonna

485
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: be hired. You know, if you factored out over a

486
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: full season, Colin Kaepernick would have had close to a

487
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards. The thing I like about him, the

488
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Green May Packers came out this week and said they're

489
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna hit him. They're gonna, you know, try to take

490
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: shots at him, which is great, But if you watch

491
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, they couldn't really do that. They

492
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: tried to take their shots at him. Colin Kaepernick just

493
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: ran away from them. He's going to do that this year.

494
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 1: He is an elite talent at quarterback. Nobody's touching this guy.

495
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna be way up. He's gonna get a hundred

496
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: rushing And even what about Russell Wilson ninety rush attempts.

497
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: You think he's gonna be a little more conservative. I

498
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: think his rushing attempts will go up just slightly. And

499
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have said that had Percy Harvan been ready

500
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: for the season. We know he's gonna be out until

501
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: the least week seven, so I say it's a little

502
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: bit higher. Russell Wilson. Part of his game from a

503
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: fancy perspect and that makes him so good is that

504
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: he can run with the football. And I don't think

505
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: they're going to change things because they had so much

506
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: success with him doing that in two thousand and twelve.

507
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Great information. That was a lot of fun. Guys, higher,

508
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: we lower the closest. I'm getting too prices right. Well,

509
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: you know what the best part is that you get

510
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: to win a prize. You get to win. Batman is

511
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: next level that come Redskins wide super pere Garth soon

512
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: sits down to tell us about a superstar quarterback. And

513
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: that's more in just a few minutes. You don't want

514
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: to miss that. Plus see why Adam Rank thanks playing

515
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller this week is going to help him get

516

528
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: that's what everybody wants to know. He's coming back to

529
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: start Monday night. How does he look looking good to me?

530
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: And looking the same, you know, Glad to have him

531
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: out there, he's running around, no limping, no nothing, throwing

532
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: the ball well, looking forward to Monday night. Are you

533
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: guys have an incredible chemistry together? You guys are on

534
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: the field last year. What kind of numbers do you

535
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: think you can put up this year playing a full

536
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: season with him? Um, it's it's hard to say, you know,

537
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: we can't really say because every game is gonna be different.

538
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: One week we might run the ball out when we

539
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: we might throw it a lot. So it's hard to

540
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: say a weekend and week out. But we're definitely trying

541
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: to get every year we can on every play we

542
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: we connect on and you talk about running the football.

543
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris had a huge year last year. People want

544
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: to know, is he gonna have that kind of year

545
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: this year? What's gonna stop him from being a one

546
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: year wonder? Um? I don't think anything can stop him. Alfred.

547
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: I think he's better this Shie than he was last year.

548
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: He's he's gotten comfortable in the system. He knows the

549
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: playbook better now and he's more comfortable, and he's stronger

550
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: and faster. I definitely see him better this ship than

551
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: he was last year. You're also getting a very healthy

552
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Fred Davis back after last season. What kind of impact

553
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: is he gonna have on the offense. Alfred is gonna

554
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: be an amazing threat for us down the field. He's

555
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: a big, fast guy that can block and catch the

556
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: ball um in the middle of field and definitely deserve

557
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of tension in the middle of the field.

558
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: So you know he's ea gonna get back out there

559
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: to make plays for us. I know you still got

560
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: a couple of days to go. It's the best way

561
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: to attack this Eagles team on Monday Night. I'm just

562
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: take what they give us. We have to find out

563
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: what kind of defense they're playing, what they're gonna show,

564
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: and once we figure out what they're doing, we just

565
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: have to open up our playbook and um play to

566
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: our to our strength and do what do what we

567
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: do best place now when when it comes to Monday night,

568
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns are gonna be worth a lot more for you

569
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: than it's gonna be just on the field doing something

570
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: really nice for a girl in the d C Are

571
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: you tell us about it? Oh yeah, I'm doing um,

572
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: especially trying to um score touchdowns for Tara Sinking Fairfax

573
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Regia Um. She's just a special friend of mine. She's

574
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: eight years so she has brain cancer. You know, she

575
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: has three tumors in her head. So trying to definitely

576
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 1: help relieve some of those medical bills for her with um,

585
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. Now for some more inside info about

586
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: this weekend, let's send it over to Molly and Adam

587
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: que Jason. Thank you so much here with Adam ranking

588
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: reigning champion of our NFL dot Com Experts League and

589
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: on the road to your repeat starts tomorrow. What move

590
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: did you make that would potentially earn you the honor

591
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: being Fantasy Coach of the week. Well, if we take

592
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: a look at my team, I'm very pleased with what

593
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: I did. I was able to get Steven Jackson is

594
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: my number two running back, which I think is the

595
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: key because when you start looking at your team, you

596
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: always end up with a pretty good number one running back,

597
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: which I did with Jamal Charles. It's that second running

598
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: back that's always the key. Very pleased as well of

599
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: getting Larry Fitzgerald is my number one receiver. He's gonna

600
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: be a top five receiver this year. Roddy White's gonna

601
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: be great. Tony Romo in the league where you're allowed

602
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: or where you're given four points for a touchdown pass,

603
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: it narrows the gap between Romo and a guy like

604
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, So I feel very comfortable getting Tony Romo later.

605
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Look at this a lot of depthcare. Look at this

606
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: bench I got. I know what I'm doing. Yes, I

607
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of good guys. Chris Gibbins, I'm really

608
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: happy with Jordy Nelson. And it was tough for the

609
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: flex spot, and but the thing is, I like to

610
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: play running back in my flex spot. Lamar Miller is

611
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm gonna go with there because running

612
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: backs tend to be more consistent with the fantasy points.

613
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: So that's why I go with a guy like Lamar Miller. Drafted.

614
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Is this the moment. Is this the Lamovo Lenovo Coach

615
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: of the Week movie? Yes, this is the This is

616
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the genius move, the Montgomery Burns Memorial genius move. I

617
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: really like what he's gonna be able to bring to

618
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: the team. There's not a lot of number one running backs,

619
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: non committee backs, so when he can find one and

620
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: put him into your flex spot, because Lamar Miller could

621
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: be a number two in a lot of leagues, he's

622
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: my flex guy. Feel great about that? Is it because

623
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: he's playing the Browns Partly, that's a pretty good matchup.

624
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: The Browns are tough to throw against Joe Hayden's there.

625
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: So it's tough to move the ball through the air

626
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns, but you can you can make

627
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: some moves on the ground there. The Browns have allowed

628
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: seven rushing touchdowns in the last four home games, So

629
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: I like that. And the Dolphins are gonna have to

630
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: run the ball. That's you start thinking about the game

631
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: plan too. They're not gonna want to Dryan Tannehill is

632
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: not gonna want to throw the ball against that team.

633
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: They gotta run it. With Lamar Miller, He's going to

634
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: get the opportunities, so that's why I want with them. Okay,

635
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: So to be clear, it's Lamar Miller over Jordy Nelson.

636
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Are you not starting Jordy Nelson in your flex just

637
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: because of that match up against the Niners? Partly it

638
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup. We we talk about the matchups

639
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: with the forty Niners and how tough it can be

640
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: on running backs also receivers to it, they're very tough

641
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: to move the ball against. And Jordy Nelson to me,

642
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: is a good receiver. But I drafted him as a backup.

643
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: He's not one of my stalwarts. He's not one of

644
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: the guys I'm counting on weekend a week out. So

645
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: when I come into a situation like this where he's

646
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: going up against the forty Niners, I feel pretty confident

647
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: putting him on the bench. It's funny you bring this

648
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: up defending Champ because I have a move on my

649
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: own involving on Miami wide receiver. I'll let you know

650
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,320

673
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: who has the better line up alongside me. Michael Fabiano

674
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: and Adam Rank. No two better guys to do this with.

675
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: So let's take a look Team A versus Team B

676
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: from NFL dot Com Fantasy Genius Guys. This is pretty close.

677
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: Obviously it's very close, kicker, But you take a look

678
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: at Team one and Team Too, this is this is

679
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: a toss up. Yeah, they're They're both very good teams.

680
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: These guys are braggers. Probably has the better team, but

681
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: it is close. All right. Now you see a quarterback

682
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady versus Andrew Luck. Looks a big guy for

683
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: you this year, Febs, but you'd rather have Brady. I

684
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: love Luck, I'd rather have Brady. I like this match

685
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: up against the Buffalo Bills. Brady always has success against

686
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: that at C East opponent. And regardless of the wide

687
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 1: receivers he has or doesn't have to throw the football too.

688
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: I've said it all preseason, He's still Tom Brady. Rank.

689
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: How hig are you on Deshan Jackson? Love DeShawn Jackson.

690
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: You hear me say this over and over again. I

691
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: have bought into Chip Kelly and his offense and everything

692
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: he's been bringing to the NFL. Huge years upcoming for

693
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy for Michael Vick and of course DeShawn Jackson,

694
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: who will become a number one fantasy receiver by the

695
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: end of the year. But if you're gonna be talking

696
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: about one week him going up against the Washington Redskins

697
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: on Monday Night, he has crushed the Redskins in the past,

698
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: he will do so in the future. Huge game upcoming

699
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: for the Sean Jackson, He's gonna have well into double

700
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: digit It's almost like the opposite for Freddie Lacy. Everybody

701
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna have a big season. Got the job

702
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: to himself in Green Bay, just not this week. Yeah,

703
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: we talked about it before, about going up against the

704
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners, about back tough defense. And while

705
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: I like to play running backs in the flex position,

706
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: this is one instance where I would try to get

707
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: a receiver in Calvin Johnson fabbs. We all know about

708
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: Megatron in this offense. Any reason to think this year

709
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: could be different than the last couple. No, I don't

710
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: know that he's going to be the number one wide

711
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: receiver and fantasy based on points at the end of

712
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: the year. Doing that three years in a row, I

713
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: mean that's tough, but he's a lot to finish in

714
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: the top five. He's going to have more touchdowns and

715
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: a fewer yards this season. Calvin Johnson, guys, obviously a

716
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: no brainer. He's active weekend in week out, and this

717
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: is a good matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, not very

718
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: good against the past last season. Well, let's take a

719
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: look and see who we have projected as our winner

720
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: between Team one and Team two. It's close, but Team

721
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: one gets the slight edge. You know a couple of

722
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: guys who didn't talk about Tony Gonzalez, Brandon meyers Meyer

723
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: has had a slow preseason. Gonzalez, you expectedly hit the

724
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: ground running. Yeah, and he always does well against the

725
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, who he's facing, by the way, in

726
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: week one. Tony g one of the five best tight

727
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: ends in fantasy football. A lot of that stuff is closed.

728
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: But Deshan Jackson over Eddie Lacey will push Team one

729
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: over the time. Now you like Steven Jackson, how close

730
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson against David Wilson. H Steven Jackson's gonna crush him.

731
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a huge year from Steven jack We'll talk

732
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: about that a little bit more. I'm gonna I'm gonna

733
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: have something special about Steve Jackson, Jess a little bit

734
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: from now, Alright, something look forward to later ont of

735
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: the show. When we return, it's time for our Fantasy

736
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: of War dominees. Deep see who we think will be

00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:44,200

Speaker 1: He's got Dan bring out of want to block up

740
00:32:51,680 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: the middle? Dive the middle to Stephen Jackson. Welcome back

741
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Live. We've just finished our Rocky

742

Speaker 1: four versus Rocky three conversation and already to hand out

743
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: some hardware. Here on the set Jason Smith alongside Adam Reich,

744
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: akbar Baja, Bemila and Michael Fabiano. Who's gonna be our

745
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: fantasy m v P. We've bestowed the honor on Vikings

746
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: running back Adrian Peterson at the end of last season,

747
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: but we're gonna make our nominations now for the players

748
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: that might deserve some hardware by seasons en. We're gonna

749
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: start with our Fantasy Rookie of the Year in FABS,

750
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: a guy you like every week, but this week, well,

751
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: Eddie running back against the Niners is going to be

752
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: a little bit shaky, But I'm going with Eddie Lacey

753
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. I had Levian bellas my top rookie

754
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: at a time, but then he got injured. Lacey is

755
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: a guy now who is the featured back. He's gonna

756
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: see early denwork, He's gonna see goal line to work.

757
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Remember Dawan Harris out for the year with a knee injury.

758
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: Alex Green he now plays for the men in green

759
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: Lacy's the guy in Green Bay and typically the top

760
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: rookie is a running back. Points wise for him, What

761
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: do you see for him per game this season? Cedric

762
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Benson gave you nice between ten and twelve when he

763
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: was healthy. I think he can get you at least

764
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: that gonna be looking at between eight and fourteen points

765
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: every week. And the big thing there is the fact

766
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: that he's going to see goal line work. And you

767
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: know what the Packers offense pretty good, they'll get him there,

768
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: all right. Something we talked about the top of the show,

769
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: Levi on Bell could be returning to action much sooner

770
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: than anticipated and rank he's your choice, Yeah, he's my choice.

771
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: You're talking about Mike Tomlin. The way he's been kind

772
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: of messing around with it, it's almost Shannahannigan like, the

773
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: way he's saying, oh, you know, first of all, it's

774
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: a list Frank injury. He looks like he's gonna be

775
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: out for six weeks, and it's like he might be

776
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: out for a week two Now it's like, yeah, he'll

777
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: probably start on said, I don't know what to do

778
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: with this guy, but Levian Bell is gonna be the

779
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: rookie of the year. But because by the time that

780
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the season, we will have

781
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: forgotten about all the injuries. We will forgotten about all

782
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: this noise about Redman and Release and Dwyer. Levan Bell

783
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: will be the centerpiece of this offense. The Steelers will

784
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: get back to basics. They will be running the football

785
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: and Levian Bell will be leading the way. At all

786
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: of you who have picked him up, and I know

787
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: that he's still available in leagues, and we talk about

788
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: this at nauseam, but make sure that he is on

789
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: your team. Kids. You want this guy. Yeah, the best

790
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: thing about this is Mike Tomlin, even though he's not playing,

791
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: still listed as the co starter. I got off the

792
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: top of the deck. Start all right, Doc, who's your pick? Well,

793
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: you know what, For all the fantasy owners who are

794
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: under the command of my voice right now, I want

795
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: you to understand one thing. You gotta look at a

796
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: kid by the name of DeAndre Hopkins for the Houston Texans.

797
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: This is a team that likes to throw the ball,

798
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: and in the past, they would only thrown the ball

799
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: to Andre Johnson. I think what you're gonna start to see.

800
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of defenses rolling coverage over

801
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: to Andre Johnson to make sure they'd take that away

802
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: from him and leaving DeAndre Hopkins by himself so he

803
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: can prove him. So, I think he's gonna have a

804
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: lot to show out there. I think he's gonna be

805
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: a big production. They've got a running game, so that

806
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: means that offense is going to be moving with the

807
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: passing game. I think DeAndre Hopkins could be a guy

808
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: putting up between nine to eleven points every single game,

809
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: and that's big production. Can you start he's got a

810
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: good matchup this week? Can you start him this way?

811
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: You know I'd start him as my flex. I'd be

812
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: bold enough to put DeAndre Hopkins as my flex and

813
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: start him and get that ten points I could get

814
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: out of them. Unless you like a Monday night guy too, Yeah,

815
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: it is because you always get up for that Monday

816
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: night game, especially when you have him on the second

817
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: Monday night game and you're at one o'clock in the

818
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: morning going, come on, I just be all right. How

819
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: about comeback player of the year? The very popular pick. Well,

820
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: there's a reason for it. Carson Palmer's in the desert

821
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: and fabs Larry Fitzgerald on the top of your list. Yeah,

822
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is a guy who I expect to be

823
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: back in the top ten and Fantasy points among wide

824
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: receivers this year. I think we'd all hear be surprised

825
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: if he's not. Carson Palmer is there. He can still

826
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball vertically, and the change at the coaching

827
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: position is also big. Bruce arians what does he like

828
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: to do? He likes to go vertical. Larry Fitzgerald is

829
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: the best option in that offense. And I'll tell you

830
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: something right now, Carson Palmer is gonna know where his

831
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: bread is buttered, and it is buttered at the wider

832
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: singer spot with Larry Fitzgerald. Let me give me a

833
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Let me give me a stat though you talk about

834
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: it being in the top ten, he will be in

835
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: the top five. You want to know why, because Larry

836
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald always excels in odd numbered seasons. Look at it.

837
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: This is throughout his entire career. I look it up.

838
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: I do a little research there, akbar, look at these

839
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: odd number this guy, and this goes all the way

840
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: back to the draft. If we had it going back

841
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: even further, and you see last season. Forget about last season,

842
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: forget about Max Hall, forget about all the curtain jerkers

843
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: and mid card jobbers who are lobbing him the ball.

844
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: Because Michael Fabiano is absolutely right. Carson Palmer is there

845
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: in the desert. He is gonna be huge this season.

846
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: Top five for Larry Fitzgerald. I feel like Leary Fitzgerald's

847
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: probably in his locker room saying, all right, this is

848
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen. It's an odd w I'm gonna ball,

849
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: and then he's I can see that conversation going on

850
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: in the next season. Off thanks to Graze Anatomy for

851
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: that chart about going up and down right there now,

852
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: as much as great things we had to say about

853
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, you have been better things to say about

854
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy. Yeah, we talked about Lashaw McCoy. Lock. I

855
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: love this Chip Kelly offense. I love the Temple stuff,

856
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: I love all of it. Lashawn McCoy is gonna have

857
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: a monster season. I cannot stress this enough. If you

858
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: look back and what Chip Kelly did in Oregon, he

859
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: and the ball at time. He ran the ball close

860
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: to sixty five percent of the time. Leshaw McCoy is

861
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna get his opportunity. He's gonna do stuff like this

862
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: where he just breaks through the defense makes those nice

863
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: long runs. I understand last year a little bit of

864
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: a down year for him, but he's gonna get back

865
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: to those two thousand and eleven stats back when he

866
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 1: had twenty touchdowns. Leshawn McCoy is a guy to play

867
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: this year, and I expected to have a monster since

868
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: he's got You worried all about Andy Reid calling plays

869
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: from Kansas City for Leshawn reading Why are you playing?

870
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm not playing him last year. I stopped giving this

871
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: guy the ball. What's the third quarter game? I don't understand.

872
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: All right, Doc part this is your chance for your

873
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: coming to American impression. You're my son works Hakim. I

874
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: think for me, the comeback player of the year is

875
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: gonna be HOCKEYM Knicks. Yes, from coming to America, He's

876
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: gonna be coming to your fantasy team this year. I'm

877
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: and I say this, Eli Manning is going to connect

878
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: with hackem Knicks because you look at him the two

879
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: thousand and ten two thousand eleven season when he had

880
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: a was and plush yards, eleven touchdowns in two thousand

881
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: and ten, seven touchdowns in two thousand eleven. He was

882
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: very productive. Last year he was going through nagging injuries,

883
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: and let me tell you something, there's nothing that cripples

884
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: a player more than a nagging injury. You never had

885
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: that opportunity to really get healthy this year. From everybody

886
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: that I've talked to over there with the New York Giants,

887
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: he's healthy. The O t as looked good, and many

888
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: camp he looked good. I think he's really the better

889
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver than Victor Cruz. That's right, I said it.

890
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: He's better than Victor Cruz. And I think Hacki Nix

891
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: is gonna put up big fantasy production this year. He

892
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: found a care all it's called contract here. All of

893
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: a sudden I'm healthy now year or your contract year

894
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: one of those. He's got his own money, he's got

895
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: his all. Right, let's go big game hunting. Now we're

896
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: talking fantasy m v P. This is not necessarily the

897
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: guy we think is gonna wind up with the most

898
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, but the guy who's gonna give you the

899
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: most value and bring you a championship from FABS. Your

900
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: pick is a guy you've been high at all season long.

901
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: I love Trent Richardson, Guys, I absolutely think he is

902
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a top five fantasy running back this season

903
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: if you drafted him. And I even got him in

904
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: the second round in a couple of leagues, which was

905
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: a shock to me. He's gonna put up big numbers

906
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: under North Turner sans Ryan Matthews. Of course, running backs

907
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: have found a lot of success in North Turner's offense.

908
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: Lamont Jordan's, Frank Gore, Ricky Williams all had their best

909
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: fantasy seasons under who North Turner winners. The opense coordinator

910
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: also coached Ladanian, Thomlinson, Emmett Smith. Trent Richardson is the

911
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: next running back to put up a big fantasy season

912
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: under North Turner. I'm telling you right now, based on

913
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: where you drafted him, he is going to be the

914
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Steel of the Fantasy football season and the m v P. There.

915
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: I said, would you have taken him in the first

916
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: round in draft if he was there for I did.

917
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know where where Trent Richinson was ranked in

918
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: terms of the second half of the of the first round.

919
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: I absolutely took him where he was available. I wasn't

920
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: taking him over Adrian Peterson. I wasn't taking him over

921
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: guys like Lashawn McCoy, Jim Jamal Charles. But that's also

922
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: part of the reason why he's going to be the

923
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: m v P because he wasn't that top five pick,

924
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: but he's gonna bear fruit like a top five because people,

925
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: it seemed like fantasy enthusiasts were very concerned about him

926
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: for whatever, for whatever reason. I don't get. I mean,

927
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't know understand what you would watch from last

928
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: year and watch him play and say, no, I don't

929
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: like this guy. He was outstanding. All right, let's stay

930
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: with the running backs. Just right, you're in leagues. You

931
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: spend the league in Denmark, a league in London, right, Yeah,

932
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: that the Tuesday Morning Football crew. Yeah, I'm all over

933
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: the world, and I think every one of your leagues,

934
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: every league has an international language. It's called Steven Jackson.

935
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson for m VP. I love this guy. Of course,

936
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: when he was with St. Louis, he had a big

937
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: problem with getting into the end zone. That is a

938
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: problem that is going to be alleviated in Atlanta because

939
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: if you look at his stats compared to Michael Turner,

940
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: they were very comparable, very very even, except in one

941
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: huge category. Michael Turner got into the end zone all

942
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: the time. Michael Turner scored double digits and touchdowns and

943
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: every year he was in Atlanta. Stephen Jackson is coming

944
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: in there and he is going to score double digits

945
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. He hasn't had double digits in a number

946
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: of years. I think it's been about seven years. He's

947
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna do it this year. Because he could run, he

948
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: can pass. That offense becomes so much more dynamic, so

949
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: much more multifaceted when he's in the game. Because when

950
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Michael Turner was in the game, Verry one dementual. You

951
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna run because they were not going

952
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: to throw the ball to Michael Turner. But with Stephen

953
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: Jackson there, they will be able to throw it. So

954
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: make sure he's on your team. He's gonna be the

955
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: m v P. Alright, far you're going wide receiver for

956
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: your pick, Yeah, I am, and I'm going with Dez Briant.

957
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: I think Des Brian has shown a lot of growth

958
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: in each of his year as a receiver. He's gotten

959
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: better each year statistically, and I think that shows the

960
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: the amount of mental knowledge that he's game. You know,

961
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: we've seen these images of Dez Bryant having mental errors

962
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: in the game. But I think with Dez Bryant, I

963
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: think he's going to be the m v P because

964
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: of his rounde running debility and Tony Romo is gonna

965
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: be throwing him the ball. He is the go to guy.

966
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: He's always been the go to guy. I like Tony

967
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: Romo and the Dez Brian combination. Another thing too, He's

968
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: not technically a contract or your for him, but Jerry

969
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: Jones is not gonna let him get to a lame

970
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: duck contract season. If he has a big year this year,

971
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: he's got a lot ahead of him. Where do you

972
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: expect him to finish? Real quick? You guys, you three

973
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: des Bryant total Fantasy points for wide receivers number one.

974
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm going number nine. I'm going number two, behind Calvin Johnson.

975
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going. But I think he's gonna make

976
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: such a strong case that it will make him the

977
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: m v P. The top three fantasy receivers this season

978
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: will be Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Dez Bryant, any of that,

979
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: any order. All Right, there you go. There is our hardware.
