Speaker 1: and Fantasy viper Graham Barfield and fellows us. This is

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: a strange, strange week. I I don't know if I

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: can remember a week where so many big names just stunk.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had Zeke, he saved his day

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: with a touchdown and still didn't do that well. Camaro

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: was bad, Deshaun Watson was bad. New Copkins was bad.

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh b J was bad, Calvin really was bad, Julio

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Jones was bad. And these are just the guys I'm

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: picking off the top of my head. There was plenty

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: of other stinkers this week. It was a strange, strange week. Yeah,

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: so Mahomes doesn't throw a touchdown, Brady doesn't throw a touchdown,

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Dad doesn't throw a touchdown. Yeah yeah, Maori didn't our,

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Maori did nothing. Still, weird week. I feel like I

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: lived in the up side down this week. It kind

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: of yeah, kind of I got I got crushed in

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: a number of leagues, including League One. Fantasy footballers ran

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: over me. I think I have Juju going, but I

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: think I'm down by like fifty or something like that.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, it just was a a very strange

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: How's how's the team that I'm doing, that that I

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: drafted doing? Uh well, I think I think she's going

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: to lose her first one. This week she was undefeated

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: and she lost Quan right, she lost uh Candice pat

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: who who some of you may know is Iris West

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: from The Flash. But yeah, she was three and o

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: until this week, and you know she she sat Carson

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Wentz and started Kyler Murray, which didn't quite work out.

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: She lost Kuon Barkley. Um, it's been fun to kind

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: of follow her on Twitter as she sort of gets

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: indoctrinated into fantasy football and just watching watching her go

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: through all these same heartaches and and just tilting on

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: a regular basis, like you know, that's a lot of

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: us have done for years. It's you know what it is,

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's like watching somebody watch Game of Thrones the first time,

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: and like this week was her red wedding, Like that's

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: what it was. This was her getting to the Red

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: wedding and suddenly, like you know, a lot of wtfs

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: and I can't believe this happens. She's probably asking what

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: she got herself into the she didn't know she's gonna

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: have to to put this type of mental energy. I

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: don't think she expected to be emotionally hooked the way

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: she has been. So welcome. Candice. Yeah, I feel like,

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: like twenty years of doing this, I've I've sort of

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: had a few years taken off my life. The stress

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: of of fantasy football and trying to, you know, figure

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: out which players are going to actually work out a

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: given week and which ones aren't, and watching weeks like

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: this one go by where I'm thinking, it's really deck

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: against the team that had given up the most fantasy

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks. Really, yeah, what the hell is going on? Man?

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like Vince Lombardi out there. It was

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: just insane. And then Daniel Jones and we all loved him.

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: He sorry, Eddie, he wasn't all that good. It's just okay,

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: my boy, have an ingram one all that good guy. Meanwhile,

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston has a career day, I know. And that's

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: another thing. So the Rams, the Rams came in, they

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: had given up like eight points a game the quarterbacks, right,

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: And I mean It's not like they played trash either,

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: like they played Cam Breeze before he got hurt. It's

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: not like they played Baker who Okay, Baker is not

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: that good, but what the hell, man freaking Winston goes

65
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: for goes for four touchdowns and Jared Goff and I

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: get it. At the end of the day, the fantasy

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: numbers were good. He was awful yesterday, and I would

68
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: be straight, I would be seriously concerned if I'm a

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Rams fan because regression. He threw the ball seven forty

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: eight times yesterday. I think his arm fell off and

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: his and his all of his all of his weapons

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: did well. But it was one of those Blake Bortles

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: games were like the fantasy numbers did not mirror what

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: actually happened on the field, and ironically, Blake Bortles is

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: his backup now. Yeah, I mean this is one of

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: those games where, you know, if we did the thing

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: for you know, escalators, for multiple turn overs like those

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: those three interceptions would have hurt. Yeah, a bit more so,

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it just it was it was

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: nice to really get involved in the passing game. Yeah,

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: I have I have, I have questions about that. We

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: will get to that too, yea, as we really look

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: back on week four obviously pretty much over minus the

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Monday night game. Uh, you know, looking at kind of

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: three categories of guys, right, guys like, okay, so maybe

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: they had good weeks. Does this mean we're okay with them? Now?

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Guys that the last couple of weeks haven't played well.

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Are we worried about them? Is there a problem? And

89
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: it's just a situation of well what now you guys

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: who maybe had struggled that that played well, but we're

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: not sold on that sort of thing. So we'll kind

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: of go through that. Of course, it's it's Monday, so

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: we'll also talk about the waiver wire as well. But

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: before we dive into all of that, we'll go behind

95
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the glass and talk to our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy.

96
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Esquire Murph, what's up? You have to go to the

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: theme of being a weird week? You know, it's very

98
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: odd when like your highest scoring player is Wayne Gallman

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: on your bench, like the Giants backup, who's like the

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: butt of all jokes on Giants Twitter? If you have

101
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Godwin and almost and Godwin was another thing. So yesterday,

102
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: like I have got it in a whole bunch of leagues,

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: so I was able to start him in some, but

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: there was two leagues I couldn't play him because one

105
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: of them was a dynasty league. Marcus destroyed me this week,

106
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: but there's nothing on the waiver wire, and I had

107
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: no one going at four o'clock eastern or in the

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: night games. And then in another league at the same thing,

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't drop anybody off my roster, and I had

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: no one going at four o'clock or later, so I

111
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: had to sit him. There was two leagues I played

112
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: him in, which was fine, but that I got godwined

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: yesterday because I was afraid of his game time decisions.

114
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: That's on you for for losing your faith in God.

115
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: This is true, how much went into them. I saw

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and we're talking about it because

117
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: this week for a lot of guys, a lot of

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: the big name guys you all mentioned did not play

119
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: like a snap at all in the preseason. A lot

120
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: of people are like, Oh, this is the rust finally

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: coming off, Like now it's actually a real football. Come Like,

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: come October, do you guys viy into that a little bit?

123
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Or you think that's like the reason why it was

124
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: some weird is here and maybe a little bit because yeah,

125
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean like September has become the preseason now across

126
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: the NFL because guys don't play anymore, and like I

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: understand it, I understand why coaches do this. I will

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: say that from a a fans standpoint, like I don't

129
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: want September to be the preseason, Like this is when

130
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: the lights come on, like you know, like we're paying

131
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, as as fans are paying money for this,

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: you this is when you show up, um, Like I

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: want to see guys be ready to go for this.

134
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: So I think the sneakiest big thing here is in

135
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: during the preseason and during training camp there's just so

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: few live contact practices now and that's obviously from player's

137
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: safety reasons. But that's why this September has turned into

138
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: the preseason. It's not necessarily because guys aren't playing there

139
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: their starters in the preseason. That's been happening for ten

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: fifteen years. It's these live contact practices have really gone down,

141
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's why we've seen some offenses

142
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: super out of sync to start the season, which I

143
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: guess My argument to that is, well, you do have

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: preseason games to get that, you know, get that out

145
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: like it frustrates me when coaches complain about the lack

146
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: of contact. You know they can have in practice, but

147
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: then they don't use the opportunity of preseason games. There's

148
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna have there. There will have to be some sort

149
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: of instituted balance. I think to get this right, just

150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: wait until the NFL and the NFL p A come

151
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: to one agreement that there's only going to be two

152
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: preseason games and eighteen regulars. Wait until that happens, because

153
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: the owners you know, are pushing for it. The next

154
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: c b A is going to be insane. Interesting, dude,

155
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: you know what yesterday or I don't remember who's yesterdayday

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: before checking my email and I quickly saw a headline

157
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, NFL and come to an agreement. I'm like,

158
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: wait what already? And it was just the referees, like

159
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, trust me, man, there there's there's nobody out

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: there who wants a new cb A to be agreed

161
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: upon before it needs to be agreed upon. But the

162
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: NFL employee, we want, we want that to the last lockout.

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I was not here for dude. Yeah, man, I mean

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: it was it was, It was not. It was not cool.

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Fun fact that they the lockout ended in was the

166
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: day Michael Fabiano called me and offered me a job

167
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: here at this place. So yeah, man, there you go.

168
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: That Monterio that is, that is and should always be

169
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant's favorite player. Why because during the interview process,

170
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: and I interviewed a handful of people, I asked, what

171
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: would your fantasy analysis be on this scenario. Peyton Hillis

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: turns his ankle in week three, unavailable for week four.

173
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: The only one of the people that I interviewed who

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: said Montario Hardesty should be picked up and started is

175
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Mr Marcus Grant. And that, uh, that started his because

176
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I read like a week his wonderful career here at

177
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So there you go. So if

178
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I ever meet Montereo Hardesty, I owe you a beer. Yeah,

179
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I do, I owe you. Hey, al right, we have

180
00:08:51,160 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: jibber jabbered enough, let's do some news. First bit of

181
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: news actually goes back to last Thursday night. The DeVante

182
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: Adams from the Green Bay Packers suffered a toe injury

183
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, he was having just a

184
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: bananas sort of game. Uh. He had over a hundred

185
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: and fifty yards I think in the first half. He

186
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: was game, he was going crazy, ended up having to

187
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: leave the game with a toe injury. Looks like turf toe.

188
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: The good news is that it is not considered to

189
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: be serious. The bad news is he is going to

190
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: miss at least a week. Beyond that, We're not really sure.

191
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: So in the short term fabs, I mean, obviously this

192
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: this is a boost for guys like Marquez Valdes, Scanty

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: in Geronimo Allison. Although on Thursday night, after Damante Adams

194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: went out, Jimmy Graham saw a lot more targets. Yea,

195
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: he didn't catch any of this, No, I get it. Yeah,

196
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Graham just based on the target share,

197
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: uh and the tight end position, which is just so bad. Um,

198
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the mid as a streamer this week,

199
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: assuming Adams is out now. Uh. I read on Dr

200
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: David Chow's website that he kind of thinks this could

201
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: be a multi week injury for Adams. Turf to can

202
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: be yes, I mean yeah, turf to was a big

203
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: problem for Dion Sanders during his career, so hopefully and

204
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: it seems like we have sort of gotten a little

205
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: bit for you know, lucky here that it's not something

206
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: that's going to keep him out long term. But in

207
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: the meantime, if I have Davonte Adams and I do

208
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: in one league, I would expect to be without him.

209
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: I would look and see if MVS is on the

210
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: waiver wire. I would see if Jonam Allison is on

211
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. They play the Cowboys coming up this week,

212
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: and it could end up being a high scoring affair.

213
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. But um that that's uh, that's

214
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: sort of what you're looking at at this point. Right

215
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: We we need Davontae Adams to get right. I mean

216
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: they get the Cowboys, Lions, Raiders, Chiefs, Charters, and Panthers

217
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: going into their week eleven by. Definitely definitely some good

218
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: matchups coming up for for Adams. Rogers through it fifty

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: three times in this game. It was like almost double

220
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: the amount of past attempts he had coming in coming

221
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: into the game. Cart Goff says, hold my beer and

222
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: seventy past plays. What what? Girly had what like four carries?

223
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: Finally had five, had five and I think Cooper Cup

224
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: had won five none in the first quarter. MM, I

225
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: don't hear what's going on with him? Is uh just

226
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: an aj Green update. I mean, I feel like we've

227
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: we've pretty much broken this down as much as possible.

228
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: It looks like he could be out a while longer.

229
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Uh certainly not the next two weeks. You can't expect

230
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: him to be back in beyond that. Who knows. Uh.

231
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: A point was made and I think they valid one

232
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: that right now. The Bengals are owing three. We'll see

233
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: what happens tonight if they if they get a win

234
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: or not, but if they start to fall out of

235
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: contention really quickly, because it looks like that the vision

236
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a battle I would say between

237
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Ravens. If they fall out of contention,

238
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: there is really very little reason to try and rush

239
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: a jam back. So yeah, you know, if you're holding

240
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: onto him, if you're waiting from the come back, I

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: think time is is getting short right now, and we're

242
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: about to go through the bye weeks yep, pretty extensively here.

243
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: I know we didn't have too many this week, just

244
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: with the forty niners and Jets, but those bye weeks

245
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: are gonna start creeping up here Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. I mean,

246
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: you hate to say must win scenario in week four,

247
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: but in this game tonight they need to win. And

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: Dalton and the and the Bengals have the Cardinals next

249
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: week's very winnable games. So so uh yeah, So that's

250
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: a with a J. Green in Washington, case Keenum, I

251
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: guess about things just going wrong for me in every respect. Uh.

252
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: In Week four, I looked in last minute, I pulled

253
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Jacoby percent and I threw case Keenum in there, thinking

254
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: the matchup was great. Uh. He didn't last very long.

255
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: He threw for thirty seven yards and a pick, he

256
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: got yanked. They brought in Dwayne Hasken. He was worse.

257
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Haskins was not great. Uh. He threw three interceptions against

258
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. And apparently Jay Gruden has

259
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: decided that the quarterback position is up for grab, that

260
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: maybe Colt McCoy could be the starter against the New

261
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: England Patriots. I mean, look, Graham, the Patriots defense might

262
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: end up they might be the fantasy at least for

263
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: the first quarter season. Before that, I was talking to

264
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Eddie and Marcus about that before you came in. Dude,

265
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven in a week when they give any double

266
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: digits every week, They've got twenty three coming off three

267
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: point performance, and now they get the Red Skids. Are

268
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: they at home in that game there in DC? Okay, well,

269
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: at least home in that game. Look, Jake Gruden, Um,

270
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: let's let's leave it at this. Jake Grun does not

271
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: deserve all of the blame for everything that's gone on

272
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: with Washington. But if you're gonna play Dwayne Haskins in

273
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: this game, why not just give him all the starter

274
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: reps during the season, like, or excuse me, during practice

275
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: this past week. I just I don't know, I digress. Yeah,

276
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really understand what they're doing. I

277
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: mean they're they're owing four. They look awful. Um, why

278
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: not just played Dayne Haskins right, Like, just give him

279
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: starter reps. Let him get acclimated to the offense. See

280
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: what you have? I mean, even even the Dolphins have

281
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: decided we're gonna turn this over to Josh Rosen as

282
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: long as we possibly can. And let look, look, Haskins

283
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: was a fish out of water yesterday. I mean he

284
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: really really struggled, just hooked. I mean he looked and

285
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: played the part of a rookie. But I don't know

286
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to plan on putting him in the

287
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: middle of a game, maybe give him some first team

288
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: reps or give him some some practice reps before. I

289
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, I guess Colt McCoy would be the safest

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: play for the Redskins. But this team is going nowhere, Like,

291
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: I get it. You want to win games. Jake Gruden's

292
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, job could be on the line here. It

293
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: probably is, so he's trying to win games. But for

294
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: the long term outlook of this franchise, it's Dwayne Haskin.

295
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: We know who Colt McCoy is at this point, we

296
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: do we we know who he is, and I don't

297
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna suddenly lead this team and

298
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: turn them around and lead them to a playoff run

299
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: like so, I don't know, just just played the win, Haskin.

300
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: Get it over With other quarterback news, Mitch truebiskie injures

301
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: his left shoulder and the Bears win over the Minnesota Vikings.

302
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: UH the initial reports from Mattnege that the official statement

303
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: was it doesn't appear to be season ending, which to

304
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: me says he's gonna be out of all That's what

305
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: that says. Gonna see a lot of came in and

306
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: you know what competent, which I think says as much

307
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: about Trubisky as it does about the Bears defense. And

308
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: so I guess, Fabs, it's I don't know that Chase

309
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Daniel makes the pieces around him necessarily better. I don't

310
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: know that, you know, if things get necessarily better for

311
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Allan Robinson and David Montgomery and so on and so forth,

312
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: but at least they don't get worse, I guess is

313
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: what I can take away. Because from what we saw,

314
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: Trubisky had really regressed. And there were reports in the

315
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: preseason during training camp out of Chicago where beat writers

316
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: of talking about how Trubisky didn't look like he had

317
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: gotten better in the off season. So now you're going

318
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: in with Daniel, this this team. You know, we we

319
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: we make jokes if which teams are sort of fantasy

320
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: waste lands. You know, the Dolphins, for example, you know

321
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you can't play anybody on that roster basically, but the

322
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, Okay, Alan Robinson, I mean his value takes

323
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hit, right, I mean, you're

324
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: going from Trabiski to to Chase Daniel. Maybe he doesn't,

325
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: but regardless, Allen Robinson has been the only sort of

326
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: trustworthy fantasy player in Chicago. I mean, David Montgomery every

327
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: single week is getting more and more burn and Graham

328
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: he's less and less efficient, and then Trey Burton is

329
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, he's off the radar at this point.

330
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: I know Taylor Gabriel had that one big game against

331
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins, but you know that that was that was

332
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: when they that was something that was never gonna happen again.

333
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: So outside of the Bears defense and maybe a Nrow,

334
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: the Bears are kind of not all that attractive from

335
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: a fantasy real quick to almost as if Ian Rappaporter

336
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: is listening to us record this podcast, he puts out

337
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: a tweet. Bears quarterback Mitch Dubinski is having tests on

338
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: his left non throwing shoulder as we speak, and it's

339
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: doubtful that he plays this week in London against the Raiders.

340
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: The team will learn today if he's able to come

341
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: back after the bye and what his timetable is. Look, uh,

342
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: you can't teach accuracy, and Mitch Rubisky has been a

343
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: neck inaccurate quarterback in the NFL for now three straight years,

344
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: and we've seen kind of small sample success. I want

345
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: to say Daniel, I mean, he's definitely not a proficient

346
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: pass so, but he's he's he played in that Thanksgiving

347
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: game against the lines and move the offense, and then

348
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: again yesterday he looked decent enough to move the offense.

349
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Drabinsky is so up and down, it's so erratic. I

350
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: just don't think it's going to be that big of

351
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: a difference for this for this team. But like you mentioned,

352
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: we're really only playing a Robin David Montgomery here, and

353
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: it's not even it's not like we're David Montgomery has

354
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: been a disappointment for me. Montgomery snap rights increased in

355
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: four straight games. But right, but he's not doing anything. Yeah,

356
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean I like I like that. I like the

357
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: way that that's going. Uh, Mike Davis was I believe

358
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: he was inactive. Yeah, game yesterday. I think he's a factor.

359
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: So but I mean, they've got Oakland this week, so

360
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: that's a good matchup. So you're gonna be actually Montgomery regardless.

361
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: But I feel like I've wanted to see more, you know,

362
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I've and and like, this is the rookie running back

363
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: so far this season outside of Josh Jacob's going off

364
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: in Week one, I mean, we haven't seen much. And

365
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: now it looks like Miles Sanders is going to take

366
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: a backseat to Jordan Howard. Can you believe I just

367
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: said that in Philadelphia? So these rookie running backs this

368
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: season um so far underwhelming, And again we we thought

369
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: maybe it'd be the rookie running backs over the rookie receivers,

370
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: and the rookie receivers have been the group that have

371
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: really excelled so far. Correct, Yeah, So I don't know,

372
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: it's it's weird you talk about. Yeah, he's you know

373
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: at the Raiders should be great. That's that's what we'll

374
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. It's let me to start Marlon Mack this

375
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: week and didn't. But that was a I mean yeah, yeah,

376
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: I mean he got games and fourteen nothing in the

377
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. And then yeah, because like Mac

378
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: is not going to give you a lot in the

379
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: passing game. I mean it was nahem Hines. And when

380
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: the Colts fall behind, that is a recipe for a disaster.

381
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: If you've got Marlon Matt and any he tweaked his ankle, which,

382
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: by the way he says, he says it's not serious.

383
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: He could have come back into play. They just held

384
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: him out sort of as a precaution. He should be

385
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: ready to go next week against the Chiefs. So that's

386
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: a good matchup to you go. That is pretty much

387
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. Alright, So looking back at

388
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: week four, bunch of guys who uh you know, some

389
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: guys who were down who had big Week four, some

390
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: guys who are still looking to find some things, and

391
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: some guys that just have a scratch in their heads.

392
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: So first category, So we're good now. Uh, Aaron Rodgers

393
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: first three weeks hadn't seen much from him. In week four,

394
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: he puts up twenty five points, has sort of one

395
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: of those Aaron Rodgers games were used to, had a

396
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: couple of just ridiculous throws, had some nice some nice drives,

397
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: even ran a little bit, picked up some yards on

398
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: the ground. So fabs it comes to a rod we

399
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: we're good new as long as long as you're not

400
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: under the impression that he's gonna end up being the

401
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: lead fantasy quarterback that we've all come to know and love,

402
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: because he's not. Um he had three tough matchups in

403
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: the road to start the season. His numbers weren't good.

404
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the Eagles game was an easy Hey,

405
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: you gotta get him in your lineup, regardless of the

406
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: last three weeks because their defense so bad against the past.

407
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: But this we're coming up against Dallas, you know, I

408
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: mean the Cowboys defense. You know, they've held together, but

409
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: they haven't faced anyone on the level of Aaron Rodgers.

410
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'll say we because I'm a Cowboys

411
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: fame whatever, we haven't played anybody good this So, I

412
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: mean the Saints, you know, beat his last night. The

413
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't show up for that game. I don't know

414
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: what that'll happen. You know, Lattimore put the clamps down

415
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: on a Marii Cooper, which was a surprise to me. Uh,

416
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Zeke didn't do much of anything. Dad didn't do much

417
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: of anything. But I think this game in Dallas could

418
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: end up being a high scoring affair. And so I

419
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: have Rogers and it's ridiculously early, but I have him

420
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: in my top ten quarterbacks four a week five, just

421
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: based on the fact that I feel like this could

422
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: end up be in a high scoring game. And I

423
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: get it. You know, the Packer is really really good

424
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: against the past, but that run defense is so bad

425
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: that when you get Zeke going up against that team,

426
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna gash them. Open up the play action for Dac.

427
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: He's got the fourth highest passion rating I believe, using

428
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: play action this season, So that could end up just

429
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: being a really high scoring affair. We we mentioned it

430
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: a little bit in the beginning. Aaron Rodgers through a

431
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: fifty past attempts this week. I think that's a big

432
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: part of the reason he had, you know, the four

433
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: new yard game. But you mentioned this Eagle secondary is

434
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: so so bad. But we know what we know what

435
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: the Packers wanted to do, we know what Matt Laflour

436
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: wants to do, and they want to run the ball,

437
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to do it exactly, especially

438
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: against that Eagle's front seven um and the Cowboys just

439
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: shut down Kamara. He didn't do much of anything right. Yeah,

440
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: I think Rogers is such a weird weekly play in

441
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the sense that we know the ceiling is probably lower

442
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: than it has been in the past, but you kind

443
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: of have to stick with it on name brand value

444
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: and most likely because there's just not that many great

445
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: streaming options underwire. Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind

446
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: of the bigger thing, is that there's just not a

447
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: lot out there. So, uh, you know, I guess we're

448
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: not totally good, but we're mostly good. H Chris Carson.

449
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: So all last week Pete Carroll, who started, I guess

450
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: to become more truthful. Maybe he was, he was, maybe

451
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: it's his old age. Whatever. Don't buy it, Marcus, he said,

452
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: he said. They still had faith in Chris Carson. They

453
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: gave him a ton of carries, he went over a

454
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards, he didn't fumble the football, so everything. So,

455
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Graham, we were good. Now he should have

456
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: had a freaking touchdown too. Oack called back. Carson is

457
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: so good, guys, He's so freaking good. But he, I mean,

458
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to hang onto the ball. But

459
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we're good yet because Rashad Penny is

460
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna come back, and he was inactive for this game.

461
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Kind of a surprising active. On Friday, he practiced in

462
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: full with the hamstring. I was fully expecting Penny to

463
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: play this week. Maybe I had a setback. We don't

464
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: know yet. Um, the Seahawks. I think play on Thursday

465
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: night this week the Rams in Seattle. Okay, yeah, we

466
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: might get one more week where Carson is the clear

467
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: number one. N C. J. Procis is the number two again.

468
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, with Penny coming back, I don't think we're

469
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: totally good yet, but Carson is. We know Carson is good. Yeah,

470
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean again, the problem isn't necessarily with Carson's talent.

471
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: It's just he just kept putting the ball on the ground,

472
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: and you just wonder how long the Seahawks are gonna

473
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: stay right and Penny's good himself. I mean, Seattle definitely

474
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: will want to rotate their running backs at some point

475
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: once they get Penny healthy. Right. The curious case of

476
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, So he talked about he had five five

477
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: five carries uh in their loss to get the Buccaneers.

478
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Some of it was games script because they fell behind

479
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: twenty one nothing, But that doesn't explain to me how

480
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: he had zero carries in the first quarter. The good

481
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: news is he had what eleven targets, caught seven of them,

482
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: had a couple of touchdowns. So I just I feel

483
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: like Sean McVeigh has forgotten that he can use Todd

484
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: Gurley in both phases of the offense in the same game.

485
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: But he had those two touchdowns and he's part of

486
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: the passing game again, so fabus be good. Now. I

487
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: don't know, Bro, I don't know, man, like honestly. I mean,

488
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: I like the fact that he was on the field

489
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: for the snaps. Malcolm Brown was only on there for

490
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: four so I like seeing that. I liked that he

491
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: was getting involved in the passing game. But I may

492
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: be looking to sell high after this week. Yeah, I

493
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: might be looking to sell high man. The two short

494
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: scores kind of bell you out here. Rams. They're all struggling, man, look,

495
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a twofold thing, right Like Girly

496
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: is clearly not they can't use him in the same

497
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: way that they have in the past, and Jared Goff

498
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: is not throwing deep. I pulled it up her next

499
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: gent STA's Jared Goff has only attempted a twenty pass

500
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: of twenty or more yards in the air on five

501
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: percent of his past attempts, as the second lowest rate

502
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL, behind only Teddy Bridgewater at three. This

503
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Rams pass offense right now is just kind of discombobulated.

504
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: And I think it's kind of trickling down. We're also

505
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: seeing the effects of losing some offensive lineman. Um I man,

506
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I don't have any Girly in

507
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: season long because I stayed away. But okay, I'll be honest.

508
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: If I did, I still I would not know what

509
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: to do. I would have to hold on. I have

510
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Girly in a few leagues. I'm gonna give you guys

511
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: a scenario. Um My, pal Adam Wayne right uh and

512
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: I we love trading. We just love trading. And I'm

513
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: in I'm in a league with a bunch of baseball

514
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: players and um wayno has offered me four net for girly.

515
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: I would do that. I would take four Oh yeah,

516
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: I would take four. Note in a heartbeat, Oh yeah,

517
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: you can get out if you can get out from

518
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: underneath girly with four net. Um yeah, by all means,

519
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: I think it's um he well, I thought that was

520
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be the scenario, and then it turned into

521
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Girly for Matt Ryan and Leonard four

522
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: nett and then at that point I was like, I

523
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think at this point that's where

524
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: we're at. I think I think we're at I mean,

525
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: if you can, if you can flip girly now after

526
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: he scored two touchdowns and sell whoever might be interested

527
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: that things are going to get better, that is usages

528
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: is growing, which it is. Then I think now is

529
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: the time to to try and sort of get that

530
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: problem off your roster. Yeah, I mean I think if

531
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: you can, maybe you know, especially if you're not in

532
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: a league full of sharps and stuff. People will see

533
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: the fantasy points for this week. So what Marcus is saying,

534
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: take advantage of people who aren't paying attention. I mean, look, dude,

535
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: I'd do the same thing absolutely. Somebody looks at the

536
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: fantasy points like, oh yeah, all is fair in love

537
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: and fantasies. And here's another fun one on a rundown here,

538
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson or Todd Gurley moving forward. Gosh, well,

539
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: let's let's get to carry on shots. And while we're

540
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: at it, right, because because yardage wise, he had a

541
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: really good game. Yeah, didn't get in the end zone.

542
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Another guy who should have had a touchdown had a

543
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: questionable fumble or the goal line that the Chiefs ended

544
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: up taking back for a touchdown. But and I saw

545
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Adam Levin Sam post this, and I don't have the

546
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: tweet right in front me, but basically since C. J.

547
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: Anderson was released, the snap share and it touches have

548
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: gone up significantly for carry On Johnson the last couple

549
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: of weeks. So I mean, are we good now, guys

550
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: with carry On? We have to be you have to be.

551
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: You have to be thrilled with this usage. His game

552
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: should have been so much better. Yesterday had nearly over

553
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty years some scrimmage touches. He came off

554
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: at twenty one touch game in week three. The big

555
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: blow up game is coming, man Like they have a

556
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: bye here in week five, but then they get the

557
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: Packers suspect run defense coming off there by in week six.

558
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: The workload, everything is working in carry On his favorite

559
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: right now. And I think if you, if you could

560
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: find a way to to get carry On Johnson on

561
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: your roster as the lines have this early by here,

562
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: I I would be, yeah, I'm gonna be trying to

563
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: trade for some carry On in a lot of weeks.

564
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: And um, so you know one other thing I want

565
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: to know, uh, and you know we're doing this, you know,

566
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: is there a problem you know, you know, would be

567
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: good now kind of thing. Um, we got a problem

568
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: in in in Los Angeles. What is your take on

569
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, Because I feel like if you didn't sell

570
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: high on Austin Ekeler, we're going to get there. It's

571
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: it's yeah, yeah, it's trouble. We're gonna, we're gonna we

572
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: gotta talk about that. We definitely, we're definitely gonna get

573
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to that before we're done today. Okay, so the last

574
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: last one, Jarvis Landry huge blow up game. It was

575
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: one that I didn't expect this, this kind of a

576
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: blow up game from him, but I thought he had

577
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: a chance against that Raven secondary. They struggled against slot receivers.

578
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: Uh didn't score a touchdown, but a ton of yards

579
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: for for Jarvis Landry this week. So Grham, we're good now. No, No,

580
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean look, I mean I guess maybe David and

581
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Jocu's injury is gonna I guess help Landry's target chair

582
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: a little bit over the middle. But yeah, this is

583
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: still this is still the O p J Show. He

584
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: just had a terrible game. Um there, and I haven't

585
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: gone back, and I haven't had a chance to go

586
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: back and rewatch the game fully to see kind of

587
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: how Beckham got shut down so badly. But yeah, I

588
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: mean I think Landry was just probably I mean, Landry

589
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: is just getting free releases. You want to talk about

590
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: selling high do that on on Landry right now? Yeah,

591
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: maybe this this might be your opportunity to try to

592
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: do that. So alright, so now handfully, guys, all wide

593
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: receivers just coincidentally that I'm wondering after you know, some

594
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: some less than great performances, if there is a problem.

595
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: The first one is DeAndre Hopkins, who have really nice week,

596
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: one hundred eleven yards, a pair of touchdowns. Since then,

597
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: he's given you forty yards, sixty seven yards, forty one

598
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: yards on Sunday and he threw an interception just for

599
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: good measure. God, that still pisses me. Afterwards, Bill O'Brien says, yeah,

600
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe that was a bad play called no kidding, no kidding, Bill,

601
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah that was. But I mean this is a guy,

602
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: FABS that was a first round pick and a lot

603
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: of leagues, and so far he has not come close

604
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: to giving you first round production. Is there a problem? Uh?

605
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: The the last three games have been a problem, that's

606
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: for sure. But here's the good news Atlanta. This and

607
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: then they got the Chiefs, and then they got the Colts,

608
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: and then they got the Raiders. So I think things

609
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: are gonna get turned around here quickly. I mean, listen

610
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson too. I mean, if he didn't rush with

611
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: that touchdown, you're looking at a single digits, okay, And

612
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think most of us would

613
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: agree that if there was one quarterback that we all

614
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: believed in the preseason could potentially match up with Patrick

615
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes in terms of value, it was Watson. So far

616
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: is not ben the case. That has not been What's

617
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: happened with the Shawn Watson he has been and I

618
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: hate to say it because I love the kid, but

619
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: he's been unreliable in his offensive line is not helping him. Yesterday,

620
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: the Texans kind of I mean they they basically not

621
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: only did they disappoint, but I mean their offensive line

622
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: and what I mean just watching that game, Deshaun Watson

623
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: is seems frustrated and the Texans offensive line has been

624
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: a problem for now three straight years. Laremy Tunsil was

625
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: a fine edition, but I don't think anyone thinks he's

626
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: a stud left tackle by he's also one person's one person,

627
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: and their interior offensive line is just brutally bad. The Texans.

628
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: The Texas offense is just discombobulated right now. And Bill O'Brien,

629
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he just he's not the one who will

630
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: have the answers to write this ship. Yeah, he's just

631
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: not the one. And there are too many pieces here

632
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: and too many good players on this offense for this

633
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: Texans team to to The Panthers are an underrated defense

634
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: right now, I think. But there's too many pieces and

635
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: too much talent on this offense for them to just

636
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: completely lay an egg at home in the spot. It's

637
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean kind of. I'm kind of

638
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: lean toward what Fab says. Though. The schedule in theory

639
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: lightens up over the next three to four weeks, so

640
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: hopefully that that turns some things around. But man, this

641
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: is not what you were hoping for when you spent

642
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: the high draft pick on The good news is the

643
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: good news is you mentioned that high draft pick. I mean,

644
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, outside of the one blow up game against

645
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles has kind of been shaky. Jujuice Smith Schuster

646
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have big ben so Ode Odell Beckham has obviously

647
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: been up and down. So a lot of the first

648
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: and second round early receivers that are going in that

649
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: range I've kind of disappointed to so you're not totally

650
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: all right, but yeah, very very true. Markus Brown had

651
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: two great weeks to start his NFL career. The last

652
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: two have been less than great. Uh So Graham is

653
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: their problem. The Falcons aren't a concentrated passing offense. I mean,

654
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: we we saw it yesterday where where Austin Hooper was

655
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: basically the lead receiver, Julio Jones kind of took a

656
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: back seat. They've just kind of been all over the

657
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: place in terms of their target share to the receivers.

658
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: And Mohammed Sanu was a little more involved than I

659
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: think most of us expected him to be yesterday. Just

660
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: kind of a weird game for the Falcons. The Falcons.

661
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: Falcon's offense right now, it's just sort of broken. Yeah

662
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: it is. You know, Ryan right now is second in

663
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: passing yards. The only guy in the league who's got

664
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: more is Pat Mahomes. But it hasn't it hasn't translated

665
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: to fantasy points because well, this past week he didn't

666
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: score any touchdowns, which is going to hurt. Still almost

667
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: scored sixteen fantasy points just as a passer. But yeah,

668
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean Ryan. I mean, you want to talk about

669
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: another quarterback who has been someone somebody who's starting Matt Ryan,

670
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: believe me, Yeah, I mean, but this is kind of

671
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, right, Matt Ryan is either boy man, he's

672
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: he's been underrated in fantasy or Yeah, we all liked

673
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan coming into the season, and it's not making

674
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: He's not meeting expectations at this point. But I mean

675
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: you're right that whole offense, like Freeman saved his bacon

676
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: yesterday because he caught a bunch of passes out of

677
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: the backfield. They're not running the ball effectively. And Calvin

678
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: Ridley in the last two games, I mean, he's been awful.

679
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: He has not been what we were hoping he would be.

680
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: And this is the guy who scored ten touchdowns last season.

681
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: A lot of people in the industry were pushing him

682
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: as a potential wide receiver too, but I mean, right now,

683
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's a shaky flex at best. I

684
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: will say about the Falcons running game real quick, I

685
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: mean they he started out of the Gates with the

686
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: Vikings and Eagles front seven, which Jimman, we know how

687
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: loaded they are. And the Titans have been so underrated

688
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: on past defense or excuse me, run defense for two

689
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: straight years. Um, so maybe there'll be some glimmers of

690
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: hope for the Falcons run game with the Texans and

691
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals coming up next. But yeah, I mean the Falcons

692
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: are just they're not getting in the red zone as

693
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: much as I think any of us expected. Although, uh,

694
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: he may not be the hero we wanted, but he's

695
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: the hero that we've been given. Austin Hooper is going yeah,

696
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like I see is going offer Scooper. I

697
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if we should buy into Austin Hooper at

698
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: the start of the year. I was really ambivalent about it,

699
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: but so far he kind of has been that dude.

700
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, how are we feeling though, But so

701
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: that's Calvin Ridley. How are we feeling about Hollywood Brown

702
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: right now? After? I mean, like I feel like Margaus

703
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of coming back down to earth. He's

704
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: evening out there. Yeah, I mean, dude, like he was

705
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: never going to be the receiver that went bananas in

706
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: week one. Uh, and it's still this oven is still

707
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: predicated on the run and mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson

708
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: and again if they want to throw the food ball

709
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Uh, you know, Jackson had a

710
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: couple of touchdown passes, but I mean, I don't know

711
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: what the what the percentages after yesterday, but going into

712
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: this week, Jackson was throwing up all the tight ends

713
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: and his past attempts. So I mean, like, you know,

714
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: he's he likes to go to Andrews, uh, you know,

715
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: and occasionally some of his other tight ends on the roster,

716
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, Hayden Hurst, you know, Boil, whoever it might be.

717
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: But I think this is what Holly Brown, Hollywood Brown

718
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be. There's good and this was a get

719
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: right This was a get right game for him, potentially

720
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: the bronze. The bronze two starting corners were out. So

721
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: it is what it is. And and this is sort

722
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: of what you deal with, especially with the Rickie wide receiver.

723
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna have big games, He's gonna have stinkers. This

724
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: is just the Ravens role for him, right. I mean,

725
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna see a bunch of deep targets and when

726
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: he does not hit on those deep targets, he's gonna

727
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: have some kind of you know, he's gonna have a

728
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: lower floor. He still saw seven targets yesterday, was second

729
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: most on the team behind Mark Andrews. But because most

730
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: of those looks comes so deep downfield, he's gonna have

731
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: these weeks where he if he doesn't connect on one

732
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: of those deep balls from Lamar or Lamar overthrows him

733
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: on the only play where he gets separation deep, he's

734
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna have some bad weeks. Quick update and re Report

735
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: has just tweeted that the Raiders linebacker Vants Perfect has

736
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: been suspended for the rest of the whoa the rest

737
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: of the season. So uh interesting that you know, it

738
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: was like a big remember like remember the all season.

739
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, man, how will Antonio Brown and Vontas Birthfit

740
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: survived together on the same team. Well, I guess they won't,

741
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: you know what. I was a little bit pissed watching that.

742
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: And when he came off the field, he was smiling.

743
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, the fans are, but he was. He's a

744
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: he's sort of a piece of work. The enjoys me

745
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: a guy like that enjoys being a villain. H Well, now, right, now,

746
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean back, he's not gonna play football anymore. I

747
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about Vontes is perfect, fair enough,

748
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: fair enough, I mean, that's the end of that. So anyway,

749
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: I just feeling we throw it in their last one

750
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: in this category. Adam Feeling, who after the game, had

751
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: some look I think Adam feeling the same that every

752
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: any everything that we already sort of no. Right. He

753
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: talked about how even if you have the best run

754
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 1: back in the world or in the league, you can't

755
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: expect to run for a hundred eight yards per game.

756
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: At some point you've got to throw the football. You've

757
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: got to be able to hit on some deep throws

758
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: down the field. I don't know if that was more

759
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: pointed towards you know, they head coaching offensive coordinator, or

760
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: if it was pointed towards his quarterback. Maybe it was

761
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. But either way, um, you know,

762
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: he was voicing, certainly his frustration with the way the

763
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: offense is going, probably with the way that his his

764
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: own season has been going so far performance wise. I mean, so,

765
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: I guess FABS is easy to say there there is

766
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: a problem right without others, Absolutely there is, uh, you know,

767
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: that this is a team that they I mean, they

768
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: have gone all in on Dalvin Cook and for good

769
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: reason under Stefanski. Mean we've talked to I feel like

770
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Stefanski every single podcast, right, But this

771
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: is what the Vikings want to be. They want to

772
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 1: be a team that that plays good defense and runs

773
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: the football effectively. So they they've basically neutered Kirk Cousins.

774
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: They've neutered Stefon Diggs, who you know in the one

775
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: week that the entire industry was down on him and said, dude,

776
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: he can't he can't played digs. Of course, second half

777
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: he goes nuts and it was Thalen who didn't get

778
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: the job done. But now, I mean, you know, we

779
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: I just I pine for the days of Adam Feeling

780
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: having a hundred yards every single week and and going

781
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: off and Diggs putting up these big numbers. But this

782
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: is where we're at right now. Like Kirk Cousins matchup

783
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: this week. You got the Giants. Their defense thinks against

784
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is terrible and Cousins is gonna be a sidem

785
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: for me in my column because you can't trust him. Okay,

786
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: what are the Vikings of the Vikings are a team

787
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: that's gonna run the football, get out to a big

788
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: league potentially against the Giants, and game script is gonna

789
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: erase anything that Kirk Cousins might do in the statutes.

790
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: This is a guy who hasn't scored fifteen points in

791
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: the game all season long, and he's played the Raiders, okay,

792
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: and the Raiders are bad. So at the I mean,

793
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: Cousins right now is probably waiver wire fighter in a

794
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. Um and ask for theeling And as

795
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: for digs, it sucks because you didn't draft them to

796
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: do this, but you're playing the matchups with them now,

797
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: you are? You just are that. That's what this offense

798
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: is right now. Hell, Kyle Rudolph is gone. This was

799
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: a top ten tight end last year. It wasn't a

800
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: good season for tight ends. But he's They don't throw

801
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: him the ball anymore. Fox, He's not gonna come back

802
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: till Christmas anyway, right exactly, So, So at this point, guys,

803
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: I mean, the only must start in Minnesota's Dalvin Cook

804
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: and everybody else is subject to the matchup. Yeah, the Vikings,

805
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: obviously you mentioned they have the Giants matchup coming up.

806
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: Then they get the Eagles, and their secondary is just

807
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: so banged up right now, so at least they have

808
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: two great draws for us to get to get kind

809
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: of pulled back in and then disappointed. Let's let me

810
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: give you a a little stat. Okay, Kirk Cousins right now

811
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: has pass attempts. The only quarterbacks with fewer. Eli Manning

812
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: lost his job, Cam Newton hurt, Teddy Bridgewater took over

813
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: for Breeze. Jimmy Garoppolo has had a by Josh Rosen,

814
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones didn't play in the first couple of weeks.

815
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: Just got the job. Ben Roethlisberger out Kyle and Kyle Allen.

816
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: You get my drift, You get my drift. Yeah. Yeah.

817
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: Their offense is is just they got knocked off their

818
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 1: script when they cannot run the ball there just come Bobby,

819
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't that's Stefanski doesn't know what to do.

820
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're in their second half. Their first four

821
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: drives were Khalil Mack sack, fumble, three out, three out three.

822
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: Now meanwhile John d Philippo down there in Jacksonville is

823
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: doing pretty decent things with Gardner Minshew. It's almost like

824
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: you need to throw the ball to win in the

825
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: league consistently. I mean, just what the funk? Just a

826
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: weird thing. Who knows? All right, So, now a handful

827
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: of situations where it's like, well, now what do we do?

828
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: The first one the Titans passing game. Marcus Mariota came

829
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: out and look, he looked more like Matt Ryan than

830
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan did on Sunday. Three touchdown passes, two of

831
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: them to A J. Brown Wonder Corey Davis. So those guys,

832
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, I keep saying that he's like the Godfather three.

833
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: Every time you think you're out, he pulls you back in, right.

834
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: So well, I mean generally like the Titans passing it,

835
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, so are we are we really buying in

836
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: or was this just because the Falcons defense has been open?

837
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: Now I'm dude, I mean I'm fading. They're playing Buffalo

838
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: this week. There's no way this week. Yeah. So I mean,

839
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: like Corey Davis, you know, good luck on the Patriots something. Yeah,

840
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is bad, bro, that was really bad.

841
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, Buffalo's defense is the real deal, especially against

842
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: the past. So have fun with that, you know, I mean, Mariota,

843
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: have I'm not playing any Titans that aren't Derrick Henry

844
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: and Delaney Walker. What's the point of dan Quinn. What

845
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: does dan Quinn do in Atlanta? I mean, this defense

846
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: for so many and now multiple years, has just been

847
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: so underwhelming. I get that they've lost players. I get

848
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: that Keyan O'Neil is out again. I get that, But

849
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: at some point, man, like, I mean, there's like the

850
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: the the Falcons in every game this season have been

851
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: down by two scores after halftime. They have gone into

852
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: the third quarter down by two scores in every game

853
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: this season, which I mean, I guess if you have

854
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, it's great for some of

855
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: those garbage time points. Uh. You know, it helped DeVante

856
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: Freeman a little bit yesterday because he caught the football.

857
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: But uh, it just defense is so bad. Yeah, well,

858
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: being down that much obviously isn't helping their run game,

859
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: which no struggling too, and not at all if you're

860
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: game scripted out and you can't you know, pound the

861
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: ball ahead. Yeah. Uh. The Chargers back field gets gets

862
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: really interesting because Melvin Gordon, who had spent most of

863
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: the day yesterday wearing a baseball cap, standing on the sidelines.

864
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: He's expected to be back in action UH in Week five.

865
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler has been fantastic, had another really great game

866
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Dolphins. No real surprise there. But

867
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: this week they have the Broncos and Denver. In fact,

868
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: I wrote about this in in my Things I learned

869
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: this week. You go back to last season nine straight

870
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: games in which the Broncos defense has allowed uh either

871
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: eighty rushing yards and or a touchdown to running backs.

872
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: So for as much as we you know, I think

873
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: you have thought about this Broncos defense as being such

874
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: a fierce, tough unit that maybe you should be afraid of. Uh,

875
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: you can start running backs against this group. So now

876
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: it becomes like do you start one both? Now? I mean,

877
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: how do how do we approach this? Because we have

878
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: no real map right now? Yeah? I mean, so you know,

879
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 1: it's Monday, but I want to see what Anthony Lynn

880
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: has to say moving forward. We do know that he

881
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: has already said that when Melvin Gordon is ready to roll,

882
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be the number one, the number

883
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: one back, So I would expect, I mean, Melvin Gordon

884
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: hadn't been you know, eating cookies while he's been off

885
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, he's been working out and getting

886
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: ready to roll. And you know, I mean to me

887
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: early indications for me based on based on the running

888
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: back rankings that I've already started working on. Believe it

889
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: or not, I got Gordon ahead of Heckler this week.

890
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: I do um. I think it's gonna start trending in

891
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: that direction this week. Maybe it's a fifty fifty share,

892
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: could potentially be. But moving forward, this is gonna be

893
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon's job and the Chargers, I feel like, and

894
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong here, They're gonna run the hell out

895
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: of Melvin Gordon, who is going to be a unrestricted

896
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: free agent at the end of the year. And the

897
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: Chargers have already sort of shown their hands. We're not

898
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: paying you. You know, we're not going to pay you

899
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: what you want. So either we're going to see a

900
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: franchise tag situation or Melvin Gordon is gonna be gone,

901
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: in which case the Chargers are going to run him

902
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: and run him some more and run him some more.

903
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: At least the Chargers didn't make the mistake of playing

904
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon yesterday snaps, so at least a yeah, I

905
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of people on Twitter asking me whether

906
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: or not they should play him, and I'm remain Pope

907
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: is going to see more. Yeah, there was no way

908
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: you could play him. But moving forward, I mean he's

909
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: a two at worst this week, right, yeah, both of them.

910
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: I do think. I think this week it may just

911
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: be closest way split just to let him kind of

912
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 1: get up to game speed. I think if if there's

913
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: an Austin Ekeler owner in your league that's really panicked,

914
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: I think this might be the time to buy as

915
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: low as you possibly could on Eckler for he's still

916
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: going to have standalone flex value. And this season, because

917
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: Ekeler is such a good pass catcher, it's gonna be

918
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really harder for the Chargers

919
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: just to immediately take him off the field on passing downs. Um,

920
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: if I'm the Charges, I'm trying to figure out how

921
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: what I can do to get both on the field

922
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: at the same and also keep in mind too, like

923
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: I rotate them to keep them fresh because they're there.

924
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: Their wide receivers are all banged up, right, I mean

925
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Keena now and boy, you want to talk, they don't

926
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: have Hunter Henry who might come back at any point

927
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: we we forgot about. You want to talk about a

928
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: stinker keenan all and my goodness, gracious if you had

929
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: him in DFS, O, dude, that's right. He kind of

930
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: got lost amongst all the other big right, So Mike Williams,

931
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: Mike Williams didn't play, Travis Benjamin didn't play. They had

932
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: Dontrell inman out there, who actually was It was a

933
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: halfway decent play in some deeper leagues. You mentioned Hunter

934
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: Henry's out, so you know, maybe this is a scenario

935
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: where they're going to be utilizing Eckler, you know, lining

936
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: them out wide, giving them some opportunities as a pass catcher.

937
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: Last year the average around ten touches a game. Gordon

938
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: was averaging right around eighteen touches a game. Uh, the

939
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: snap percentage was heavily in favor of Melvin Gordon. But

940
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: if nothing else, Heckler has proven that, I mean, this

941
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: is a guy who needs to be utilized a little

942
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: bit more. But at the end of the day, still

943
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: feel like you're looking maybe not a true featured role

944
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: for Melvin Gordon, but Melvin Gordon is going to be

945
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: closer to a featured back. Uh, and then Austin Neckler

946
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: is the rest of the season, and I think that's

947
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: that's an obvious scenario. Uh. The Chief's backfield has gotten

948
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: really in because you know, Shady mcgoy had a he

949
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: had a pretty decent game on Sunday against the Lions. Uh.

950
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: Damian Williams didn't play again. He missed last week's games,

951
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 1: missed the last two weeks games, I should say, and

952
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams played more snaps, didn't have a ton of yards,

953
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: but caught the football effectively, had a couple of touchdowns

954
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: and is making it really hard I think for Andy

955
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: Reid to put him back on the bench even when

956
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: Damian Williams comes back. Uh. I mean, Graham, what are

957
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: what are we doing in this backfield right now? Hoping

958
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: and praying that one of these guys takes the job

959
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: and you've got the right one. But I mean other

960
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, I mean, the Chiefs backfield has been

961
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: It's been the same productive unit that we've had in

962
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: years past. Just you cannot trust any of these guys.

963
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: And it seems like Damian Williams's injury is going to

964
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: take even longer than we expected. We haven't even really

965
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: gotten a timeline from him, not just he's just not practiced,

966
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: just straight up not practiced. Shawn McCoy has been kind

967
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: of banged up in and out of the lineup, and

968
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: now we have Darryl Williams who's playing well, ums shown burst.

969
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just william has actually led the backfield snap,

970
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's a total well, it's well, this is

971
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: the second strict week he's done that. It's just a

972
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: total week to week proposition at this point. Unfortunately. Yeah, yeah,

973
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean, which which is so strange because Andy Reid

974
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: has generally been kind of a one back guy. He

975
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have that, but now he doesn't have that guy.

976
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: He does not have that luxury this year. I wonder

977
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: if McCoy just can't sustain. I mean, he wants to,

978
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, he wants to keep him fresh, but he's

979
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: not putting him in that feature role that he was

980
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. So I think Andy Reid knew probably that

981
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: he couldn't go into the year with just Damian Williams

982
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: is the top guy. Then obviously Williams got hurt, and

983
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it was ever in McCoy's I don't

984
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: think it was ever in the range of outcomes from

985
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: McCoy to be the bell cow for them. And and

986
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: they've got the Colts coming up, another good matchup. So

987
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean McCoy and Williams, as long as Damien is out,

988
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: they're both they're both starting. And Darryl Williams is available

989
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues on NFL dot Com. I

990
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if people just don't like the way

991
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: that his name is spelled, but gotta like the production, man,

992
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean it is. He has been great the last

993
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Alright, So last one here, uh, And

994
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: I just kind of I wrote this one in I

995
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: want I want Graham to take this one the Eagles

996
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: running backs because we're both heartbroken. I just you know,

997
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: I have tried to be in on Miles Sanders early

998
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: in draft season, though, I you know, I told myself

999
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: there was still a role for Jordan Howard, and I

1000
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: drafted him very early in draft season. It's some of

1001
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: the first ones I did. Uh. I didn't start him

1002
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: in a single one in this past week, watched him

1003
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: sitting on my bench accumulating thirty plus points. But it

1004
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: does now bring up a question because not only did

1005
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: did Howard run the ball effectively, they threw him the football.

1006
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: He caught the ball. And it's not that Miles Sanders

1007
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: had a terrible game, but it was Howard who kept

1008
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: scoring all the touchdown So I don't even know. I

1009
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: don't know what to do now. It's the same thing

1010
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: we just I mean, we're gonna have to have an

1011
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: injury here for one of these guys to be playable.

1012
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: Every single UM Miles Sanders a snap right has been

1013
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: cut from in weeks one and two now down to

1014
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: nearly thirty five pc back to back games. You mentioned

1015
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is more involved in the passing game, and

1016
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: they're not going to take They're not going to take

1017
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: Sprawls off the field, and they're kind of two minute situations,

1018
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: third downs, They're not going to take him off the

1019
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: field there. I mean, outside of an injury, I don't

1020
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: think we'll have clarity at all in this backfield, uh,

1021
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: for the for the majority of the season, which is

1022
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: unfortunately cause Sanders I think has has been a little

1023
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: bit unlucky, had a touchdown called back early in the year.

1024
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: He's flashing some big plays and had some nice runs,

1025
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: but Um this three headed monster here is just a

1026
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: no go for fan. The bottom line here, and this

1027
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: is something that I was concerned about. I like sanders talent.

1028
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard not to like his talent. Watch

1029
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: him on tape. I mean, he's damn good. The one

1030
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: thing that I was concerned about coming into the season.

1031
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: And you know I told you this guys on the podcast.

1032
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has never had a running back as a

1033
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: head coach average more than thirteen touches a game. He's

1034
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: he just he goes committee and he goes hot hand.

1035
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: And Jordan Howard had the hot hand last week. Doesn't

1036
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: mean that maybe Miles Sanders won't have the hot hand

1037
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: this week against the Jets. But we can't see that.

1038
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: We can't look into the future. I wish we could

1039
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: and sort of predict that. So, now, if if you've

1040
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: got Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders on your fantasy football team,

1041
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, which guy you're starting, It's gotta be Jordan Howard, now, right,

1042
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: it's got to be which means I mean, but but

1043
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean right, and Howard looked good. Let's give him credit.

1044
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: He looked. You look pretty good, Jordan Howard? Is it

1045
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: has looked good this this entire year. Yeah, he's he's

1046
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: a fine North South runner. The problem with Jordan Howard

1047
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: is there's like five or six other running backs that

1048
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: are like Jordan Howard in the NFL um the one

1049
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: I think what I was completely wrong about with this

1050
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 1: back for this how much Darren Sproles is playing. Yeah,

1051
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, I figured Sanders at the very least was

1052
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: going to take all you know, takes those those passing

1053
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 1: down snaps and you know, some of those dump offs.

1054
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: But if that's not happening, it's it's it's over for

1055
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: third downs, third and long. It's Darrence Brows is it?

1056
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Or is it the uniforms? Jordan

1057
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: Howard looks like he's slimmed down to Maybe it's just

1058
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles uniform. No, I mean, he was wearing black.

1059
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: Black is supposed to be slimming in Chicago, and now

1060
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he's got I don't know, he

1061
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: looks like he's slimmed down, But it could just be

1062
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: the the aerodynamic Eagles uniform that he's wearing. And I

1063
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: feel like to like the fantasy community like has has

1064
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: made sort of Jordan Howard almost a joke in the

1065
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: in the pre Oh, Miles Sanders is going to take

1066
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: that job. It's not going to be an issue. Jordan

1067
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: Howard can't catch the blood in the backfield. He's got

1068
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: an awful yards per carry rate, But when you look

1069
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: back at his career going into twenty nineteen, I mean,

1070
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: this is this is one of the guys who's rushed

1071
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: for more yards at running back then. I mean, like

1072
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: than almost every back who's not saying Ezekiel Elliott for example,

1073
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: He's right up there in terms of rushing yards ever

1074
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: since he's come into this league. And maybe we just

1075
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't have enough respect for that. Well, I think it's,

1076
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, not living in a PPR world now that

1077
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: we really look at guys that catch the foot all

1078
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: and yeah that he was never a guy that called

1079
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: the football, so it became easy. I like that. I

1080
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: think you should write a song we're living in a

1081
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: PPR word like Madonna, Yeah exactly, just you know, get

1082
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: her to maybe she'll sing it for us. Yeah, I'm

1083
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: sure I don't know what she's doing these days, not

1084
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: talking to us, probably not playing all right. Before we

1085
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: wrap it up, of course, waiver wire time. Uh, some

1086
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: names you mentioned, Darryl Williams. He's still out there in

1087
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: a shocking number of leagues. I feel like that's going

1088
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: to change this week. Look, A J. Brown is out

1089
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: there in a lot of leagues. Approach with caution because

1090
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: as Graham ninch and they play the bills next to

1091
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: chasing the points there and the Titans just have never

1092
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: been consistent enough in their passing game to really make

1093
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: it worthwhile. So if you somehow took advantage of the A. J.

1094
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: Brown game, congratulations, I don't know that that's going to

1095
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: happen to have you on the show. If you did that, right,

1096
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:54,479
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, who you love it? It looked so good

1097
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: to me in the early preseason. You know, I really

1098
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: talked myself in the thinking that maybe this is the

1099
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones here. And I mean, I will admit that

1100
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: I had my doubts, mostly because I just wasn't sure

1101
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: about the Buck's ability to run the football. But and

1102
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: even though I'm still not a hundred percent sure because

1103
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: he had a lot of the snaps yesterday and he

1104
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: obviously had the touchdown and he played really, really well. Um,

1105
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: but the snapship has been fairly even. Uh, the season

1106
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: with him in Peyton Barber, it's just been up and down.

1107
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: He almost doubled up Barber and snaps though in that game. Yeah,

1108
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: it's been up and down. And I will say in

1109
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: week two apparently Jones kind of tweaked his ankle um,

1110
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: so maybe that was why he only got four carries.

1111
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: But regardless, I mean, Ronald Jones has been such a

1112
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: morph I mean, he's been so much more effective than

1113
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. But neither of these guys are getting the

1114
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: ball in the passing game. So what's Oganwally in the

1115
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: passing game? It's yeah, so that that may but you know,

1116
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: maybe he is starting to come around a little bit

1117
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: and so some of that preseason high maybe has some

1118
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: some life to it. Uh Dawson Knox who last week

1119
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: after he had he had a big week couple weeks ago,

1120
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: I sort of faded him. I wasn't really buying into it.

1121
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not getting a ton of targets, but

1122
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: he looks really athletic, and he's making plays when the

1123
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: ball is thrown in his direction. And look, I think

1124
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: the good news is that he's getting opportunity. The bad

1125
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,479
Speaker 1: news is that I think Tyler Croft is coming back

1126
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: really soon, and that might limit some of his snap

1127
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: share and some of his opportunities. But I know we're

1128
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: all hurting for tight ends, and you know, if you

1129
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: were looking to stream, I don't know, if you didn't

1130
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: get on that Dishley train, you didn't get on the

1131
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Disley train. I guess the other part of that too.

1132
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: To keep in mind is keep an eye on Josh

1133
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: Allen's status because he left with a concussion after just

1134
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: a really nasty hit he took. Uh. If it is

1135
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, I don't know that I would Hay Marcus,

1136
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: you right on another tight end that people should be

1137
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: going after Tyler Reiffort. Why he's let's as it's the

1138
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: easiest thing for a fantasy analyst A breaks against the

1139
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: tight end. They think this definitely means c. J Usama

1140
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: is catching six balls for seven absolutely. Uh So. Yeah.

1141
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I know, I saw a lot of

1142
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: people on Twitter thing, you know, kind of mocking people

1143
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: for taking the you will dislive victory lap. You know what,

1144
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: Take your victory lap, dude. So much of this job

1145
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: is about us getting stuff wrong, Like take your victory

1146
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: laps when you get something right, even if it was,

1147
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: you know, low hanging fruit. I don't care, don't care

1148
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: at this point after this week, is anything low hanging fruit?

1149
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: Not really. Hell, we could have told people to sit

1150
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Julio Jones and a whole bunch of other

1151
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: superstars and people would have laughed us off on social

1152
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: media and we would have been would have been right right.

1153
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: A couple of Colts just just in case, just in case.

1154
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: My Marlon Max says he should be good to go

1155
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: for next week, but just kind of monitor the situation.

1156
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins, nih Hinds are out there in a lot

1157
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: of league. Hines definitely more of the pass catching back

1158
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: if it comes to that for the Colts. Uh so

1159
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: you know that's what they play in the point the

1160
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs next week. It could come to that. It could

1161
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: come to that quite a bit. Yeah, that's true. So

1162
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: there you go. Jamison Crowder, I put him in here

1163
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: be because he has not owned in enough leagues and

1164
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: the darn back off the bye and they're playing the

1165
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 1: Eagles and they're terrible against the past, and I don't

1166
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Sam Donald. I mean he

1167
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: probably he probably is questionable. The best for this week.

1168
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: But just keep in mind the first week when Donald

1169
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: and Crowder were together, what was it seventeen targets and

1170
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: fourteen catches for Crowder. And so even if Donald's not

1171
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: back in the week five, you're gonna be back soon.

1172
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: And also look and see if Chris Hernon's out there

1173
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: and get ahead of the game and try to pick

1174
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: him up because he's gonna be eligible to come back.

1175
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the six, This is gonna be

1176
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: the fourth game he'll miss, So he'll be back week six.

1177
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: So a couple of jets that you may be stashed,

1178
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: maybe you don't play crowded this week if if Donald

1179
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: is not back, because you know, do we trust Luke Folk?

1180
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: But um term I suspect people would drop Jamison Crowder

1181
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: one because of the Donald situation. Two when the Jets

1182
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: went on by, if you were just looking to fill

1183
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: a roster spot, it was easy to just put the

1184
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: Jamison crowd rout there. Crowder Crowder right now is available.

1185
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: I want to guess in more than he's he's available

1186
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: about seventy eight percent of our league's Yeah, I would

1187
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: also look to maybe even by Low and Robbie Anderson guys.

1188
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: This this jet schedule coming up is so so nice.

1189
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: They've already gotten rid of the Patriots. But would you

1190
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: play him this week without fuck? Would you play Robby

1191
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: Anderson this week without funk? Okay, I'm sorry without without Donald? Yeah?

1192
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: Without Yeah, I don't think you can. Yeah, I don't

1193
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: think any of these guys, but yeah, I mean their

1194
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: schedule coming up is so nice. They get the Dolphins

1195
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: twice again, they get the Redskins, they play the Giants, Raiders.

1196
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: It's a it's pretty pretty good. More wide re's ever talk.

1197
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: Both MVS and Toronto Allison are out there in a

1198
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. They are certainly worth looking at that.

1199
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: We know that Davante Adams will miss at least one game,

1200
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: not sure about beyond that, but you know, at least

1201
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: m VS I think is worth owning. Even outside of that,

1202
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a huge game on Thursday

1203
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: night against the Eagles, but he was targeted a lot.

1204
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: He had a couple of end zone targets as well,

1205
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: So even if he didn't pull those in, you at

1206
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: least know that Aaron Rodgers is looking in his direction.

1207
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: Geronomo Allison has not had the kind of production I

1208
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: think we would have anticipated, but with no Davante Adams,

1209
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: maybe that changes a little bit. Uh. And then Jobie Brissette,

1210
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: who uh, yeah, he's a good streamer option this week

1211
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: going against the the Chiefs played well. You had to

1212
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of play from behind against the Raiders, but ended

1213
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: up getting you twenty two Fantasy points this week. I mean,

1214
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: I quietly having a good year. Yeah, I mean, you know,

1215
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: I was not a huge fan of him coming in.

1216
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: I figured he would be better than he was in

1217
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Obviously, I didn't think he would be a

1218
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: guy who's giving you three touchdown passes and two of

1219
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: his last three games and uh a floor of about

1220
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: sixteen points. I mean, so far this season Theirs, that's

1221
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: been pretty good. And you got the Chiefs then a

1222
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: by then you got Houston, so I mean you got

1223
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: you got a couple of decent matchups coming up there.

1224
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: Frank Craik is a very very good coach. In their

1225
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: offensive line obviously, it's just yeah, so much better. So

1226
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny if maybe if they had protected

1227
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck this well, he would still be playing well.

1228
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: They tried to get to that, and Luck decided ye,

1229
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: well they did little. They got to that for one

1230
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: season and it was great, a little to like. Jacobe

1231
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: Preset right now is a QB nine. So yeah, he's

1232
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: ahead of Heaps upcoming, He's ahead of Matt Ryan, He's

1233
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: ahead of Jamis Winston, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady. Their old

1234
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: line keeps bawing. He's only taken six sacks so farm

1235
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: with four games. Yeah, and he's not running the ball

1236
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: hardly at all, really I know, but he's doing it

1237
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: all with his arm. Yeah, the good friend. So there

1241
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,480
