1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, December seven, twenty two. Welcome

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's Being Your Rand

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grant joined by Michael f Florio and a

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: specialist cast its essence And I was put on this show.

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: We should every day, shouldn't every week? Here we are.

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: It is week fourteen. It is bipocalypse too. It is

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: the final week of the regular season. I feel like

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: that old Mark Wahlberg will be like George Cleaney, the

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: perfect storm, Like all these waves converging on us at once,

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: and somehow we're on this tiny little boat that has

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: to make it through. Are we going to survive? Uh?

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Some of us will not. Not every fantasy team will

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: come out on the other side, unfortunately, because if if

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: you don't make it past this week, your your season

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: is over. But schedule makers, uh, we need to you

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: don't need to meet up with talk and we no

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: more week not six teams like like you could have

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: There's been so many weeks with two teams on buy.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: We could have spread this out a little better, right,

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Like we need to get on the phone. And I

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: think they had some of the programming and broadcast people

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: on g MFB on on Wednesday morning. We should talk

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: to them. Maybe they can talk to the scheduling people,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: because the league for fantasy folks they did as dirty

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: this year, so hopefully we can we can put a

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: bug in in Roger Goodell's ear and make this not

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: happen in the future. Of course, we're gonna talk about

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: all the games on the Week four teen slate minus

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, but we'll get tell every other

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: game on Thursday and Sunday. Do some heroes and villains,

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: sleepers and streamers because with so many teams on a

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: buy and so many players injured, very much going to

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: be an issue where you're going to need some streamers,

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: which is a good way to remind you that. Of course,

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: as we have talked about, six teams are on a

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: by the Atlanta Falcons, the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers,

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, the Indianapolis Colts in the New Orleans

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Saints all have the week off. Maybe doesn't affect you

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: quarterback wise, but certainly there are some running backs and

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: receive years that are going to be unavailable to you

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: this week. That gets us to what we always do

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: at this time, which is our fantasy headlines. We will

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: start in Baltimore, where Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson is week to week and unlikely to

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: play on Sunday against the Steelers. There are reports that

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Lamar couldn't this one to three weeks due to a

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: nice sprain that he suffered last week against the Broncos.

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: So is there anyone you trust starting in a Ravens

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: jersey with Lamar Jackson likely out? It's just Mark Andrews

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: And that's because he's a tight end. And I mean,

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: what are you gonna pick up Hunter Henry and play

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: him over Mark Andrews or or something like that. Like

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get that question this week, you know. That's

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of yeah. I I personally don't think I have

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: the stomach to sit a Mark Andrews, especially if it's

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a must win game for me, and the caveat being

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: that Mark Andrew's average more Fantasy points per game last

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: year without Lamar Jackson then with Lamar Jackson, so I

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: think you could start him. Besides that, I'm staying far

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: away from the Raves. It is rough because the running

61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: back situation is bad. They don't have any wide receivers.

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean they've been trying to make it work with

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: like DeMarcus Robinson and James Prochet. I am completely staying

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: away from anybody not named Mark Andrews in that Baltimore offense,

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: and hopefully Lawer's back sooner than later. I think it

66
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: was Prochet. They had throw a pass the other day

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: and he threw that. That ended badly. Yeah, like, no

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: more of that, please, That ended really, really badly. Speaking

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: of past catchers, Odell Beckham Jr. Visited with the Cowboys

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: on Monday. Did not work out for Dallas and isn't

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: working out for any other teams of course. Oh b J.

72
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Recovering from an A C L T hare that he

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: suffered in last year Super Bowl. Speaking on his weekly

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: radio show, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he's quote not

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: confident at all about signing a player the team hasn't

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: seen on the field. I know you and I have

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: said both on this show and on Fantasy Live, like

78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense for people to be picking

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: up and stashing O b J. There were just so

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: many questions right now. It's like he's not going to

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: sign with any teams. Can we just move on and

82
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: drop O. B J. Now, I me and You've kind

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: of talked about this a lot, like O'Dell is getting

84
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: overrated in a sense, like I think O'Dell could come

85
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: in and make an impact in a real life sense,

86
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: like he could be a chain mover, a possession type receiver,

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: come up a big in the playoffs for like the

88
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys or the Bills are one of those teams. But

89
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: people are treating Odell Beckham like they're gonna get, you know,

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: over the head back, like over the head one hand

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: to catch Odell Beckham, Like that guy is long gone.

92
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think at this point it's very safe

93
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: to talking about a wide receiver on the wrong side

94
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: of thirty nine months removed from his second major knee injury.

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: They were just way too many question marks there, and

96
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: I think people were just sort of looking at the

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: name and and seeing if they get add that, but

98
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: the actual production, I just don't really see it coming.

99
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: And now it's definitely not coming if he's not signing

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: with any teams for the remainder of the season. Even

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: let's say if he was to sign today, he has

102
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: to learn a playbook, he has to practice, he has

103
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: to get the chemistry down, Like you're not going to

104
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: start him at all in the Fantasy Place best case scenario,

105
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: you get a game maybe out of him, and and

106
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: are you gonna be brave enough in like the Fantasy

107
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: Championship to play him in his first game? I sir not?

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I yeah? And Robert Port and Tom Pella Sero are

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: reporting that the Rams have claimed quarterback Baker Mayfield. In fact,

110
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: the Rams tweeted out a picture of Baker in his

111
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: snazzy new number seventeen Jersey weird to see him wearing

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: number seventeen, but whatever Mayfield goes released earlier in the

113
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: week by the Carolina Panthers. The Rams recently plays Matthew

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Stafford on injured reserve. Baker now has a chance for

115
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: a fresh start in a Sean McVeigh offense. So does

116
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: this movie say more about Stafford? Does it say more

117
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: about Baker? And does this make you excited at all

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: about any of the Rams? I think this just says

119
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the most about everyone involved, Like, like, Baker has played

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: so poorly that he ended up on waivers from a

121
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: team that chose to start Sam Darnald over him, and

122
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: then the Rams. I've never seen a team go from

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: riches to rags this fast before, Like it's gotten this bad.

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: What I saw producer Alex Wilk walking in the building,

125
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: I was like excited about Baker and he was like,

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: he's better than what we have right now. So yeah,

127
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: that just tells you how bad things have gone for

128
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: for the Rams. And my hope here though no offense

129
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield, please do not be a Ram next

130
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: season because we I cannot have you ruined Cooper Cup

131
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: like you've ruined other wide receiver ones. Oh yeah, we'll

132
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: see what happens with that, whether or not he sticks

133
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: around beyond the off season. Because he had Cooper Cup

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: has been gold and I don't I don't want that

135
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: to go away. And Matt Stafford, I think it's fair

136
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: to question, like is football a part of his future anymore?

137
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I mean, a spinal contusion is

138
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: a serious, serious thing. And if you're Matthew Stafford, you've

139
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: played over a decade, You've gotten your Super Bowl championship. Now,

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's much left to accomplish, So

141
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be surprising if maybe we're nearing the end

142
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: of the line. For Matt Stafford. Let's do some heroes

143
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: and Villains of the week. Let's start with the guy

144
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: who is probably going to we have a new graphic

145
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: for heroes and villains. That's new, that's that's fun, that's fun.

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to this specialists, man, I did new graphics,

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: even if it comes in week fourteen, Like I don't care.

148
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Heroes and Villains of the week. Who's the guy who's

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: going to help lead your team to victory? He's been

150
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: helping lead plenty of people the last couple of weeks

151
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: to victory. It's Garrett Wilson who in the two games

152
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: with Mike White is averaging twenty five Fantasy points per game.

153
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: He has a huge target and air yard share in

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: those games. And he's played five games this season without

155
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. Three of them he's been a top ten

156
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think it's fair to say Garrett Wilson

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: is a borderline wide receiver one moving forward, and this

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: week against the Bills. This was once a tough matchup,

159
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: but the Bills in the last month they've allowed a

160
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: bunch of production. Two wide receivers plus. I think this

161
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: is a game where the Bills will have a lead.

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: I know they didn't have a big lead the first

163
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: time they played the Jets. Josh Allen in his career

164
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: has gone off against teams the second time he faces them.

165
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: So if if Josh Allen looks like Josh Allen, the

166
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna have to throw the ball, which

167
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: means only good things for Garrett Wilson in with the

168
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: news that von Miller is out for the rest of

169
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the year, not that he was necessarily expected back this week.

170
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: Uh still not much of a pass rush for Buffaloe,

171
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: one silent tier for Floria right there. My hero of

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: the week is gonna be DeAndre Swift because he's back

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: in our lives. It would appear there in Detroit. We

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: went a few weeks where he wasn't really much of

175
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: a thing. By the way, I love the new hero

176
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: graphic too. It's like a super strong dude with a cape.

177
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Anyway. Hopefully DeAndre Swift can tape up

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and carry you to a fantasy victory this week because

179
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: it looks like he's sort of I will say, back

180
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: in the good graces. I don't think things were bad,

181
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: but I do think there were things that the coaches

182
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: were wanting to see from him that they hadn't and

183
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: it appears that they're starting to get more of what

184
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: they want out of DeAndre Swift, so he's back to

185
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: taking the lead. It appears in the backfield in terms

186
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: of snaps and touches. Jamal Williams isn't going away, so

187
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: don't get that twisted, but DeAndre Swift looks like he's

188
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: back to being that guy. That could be kind of

189
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: a high end RB two for you and this week

190
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: very good matchup against the Vikings. The Lions at five

191
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: and seven are a favorite to the Tenant two Vikings

192
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: this week, which you're the favorite. They're the favorites right now,

193
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: which is wild, so we'll see whether that matters. But

194
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I do think it could be a very entertaining, very

195
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: high scoring game. They the Lions have a favorable schedule

196
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I am pulling so hard. Like I

197
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: told this to Cynthia Freeland yesterday, I was like, outside

198
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: of the Bills, the Lions are probably the team I'm

199
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: rooting for the most right now. You know what, They're

200
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: playing meaningful football in December, and it's not very often

201
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: you can say that about the Detroit Lions. So shout

202
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: out to Dan Campbell and his coaching staff are actually

203
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: putting this together and making this happen. Let's talk some villains.

204
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: Who's the guy that's gonna let you down this week?

205
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith, who is coming off of one of his

206
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: best games of the year where he had twenty one

207
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, but he had been below fourteen in the

208
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: five prior games to that, and single digits in three

209
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: of them. And then what worries me is fort of

210
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: his yards this season have come on passes of at

211
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: least ten air yards uh ten or more. The Giants

212
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: are in the bottom third in the league and production

213
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: allowed on those he passes. Plus they've just been tough

214
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: on wide receivers in general. I think this is a

215
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: game where we could see a J. Brown do his thing,

216
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: where we could see the Eagles run game do their thing.

217
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: But if DeVonta Smith doesn't catch a long ball, which

218
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: the Giants have limited, I think he could disappoint. Yeah.

219
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: And plus just the the history the year says he's

220
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: kind of up and down, that it's not very often

221
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: he puts together back to back big games. So we'll

222
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: see what happens. There. My villain of the week is

223
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: going to be James Conner, who last year was a

224
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: fantasy hero. This year he's been somewhere in the middle.

225
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know that this is gonna be a

226
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: good week for him. As we see a little devil

227
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: graphic pop up for a fantasy villain there. Uh, just

228
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: if anything, I think this is the week that the

229
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals have to throw the football. The Patriots have been

230
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: incredibly tough on running games all year long, even in

231
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, just not giving up a whole

232
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: lot on the ground. Maybe you see a situation where

233
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: Connor catches a couple of passes, but I don't think

234
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: that's enough to really keep him afloat, And so you

235
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: may really be praying for him to get in the

236
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: end zone in order to have a decent But if

237
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you have other options, maybe you get away from him.

238
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: I get it if you have to play him, but

239
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: this is not a week that I really want to

240
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: have to rely on James connexs. I just don't like

241
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the situation at all. Time. To turn our focus to

242
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: Thursday night, football game is gonna be played. Maybe what

243
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: about a driver's length away over there? It's so five Stadium,

244
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Raiders and the Rams eight fifteen Eastern.

245
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: You can see that on Prime Video, also streaming on

246
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: NFL Plus. Last week, cam Akers rose from his fantasy

247
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: coma to score a couple of touchdowns, get just sixty

248
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: yards on the ground this week. That's so so matchup.

249
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: How confident are you in starting Cam Akers? So I'm

250
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: not like super confident in saying get him in your

251
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: starting lineup right now, but I think if you're looking

252
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire or maybe your bench something like

253
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: that for a streaming option, that's where cam Akers comes

254
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: into play. Like it's what you always say, Marcus, he

255
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: can't trust Sean McVeigh on a weeks week basis with

256
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: his running backs. But last week we did see a

257
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: play the snaps. He had seventeen of the twenty running

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: back carries uh and then scored the two touchdowns. And

259
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: this is just about the matchup the Raiders. They're in

260
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: the top ten and the last on the year end

261
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: in the month in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Again,

262
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: not someone that I'm super bullish about, but if I'm

263
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: going a little bit deeper with six teams on by

264
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: this week anchors is someone I think you could plug in. Yeah.

265
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the argument, is that there are a

266
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of teams on buying you probably need a running back.

267
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not excited about it. I am not very

268
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: confident about it, just because maybe he gets the lead.

269
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they decided to go back to Kirren Williams. I

270
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe they try to get Stephen Jackson out

271
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: of retirement and give him some carries to I'd rather

272
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: that to honestly, I think I'd rather have that than

273
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: than either the options. The Rams are running out there

274
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: right now. So I think the argument in his favor

275
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: is is the matchup, maybe volume, But I just I

276
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: can't peg this this Rams running back room, and I

277
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: would try to stay away from it if I could.

278
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: On the other side, there has been no doubt about

279
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: who the Raiders r B one is. It's John Jacob's

280
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: hands down. He's been amazing. Had a hundred and forty

281
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: four yards last week, had that three hundred yard game

282
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Does he get into clubbed up?

283
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: For those of you who who follow us on the

284
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: Start Sit show, you know Club dub It's the guaranteed

285
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: twenty five points of the week for a player. Does

286
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Does he get through the velvet ropes? Does

287
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: he get past the bouncer and in the club dub

288
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: this week? Where where's my money? Gunn right? Because I'm

289
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: saying yes because the Rams defense is super banged up

290
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: right now, and Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams are the

291
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: entire Raiders offense. And this is a meaningful game for

292
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I know early in the year it looked

293
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: like they were just their season was over. But they've

294
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: gone on this winning streak and there's only a couple

295
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: of games back of a playoff spot, so this is

296
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: a very big game for them. I think they will

297
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: ride Josh Jacobs, especially if they have a lead. My

298
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: only concern here Marcus is he's been dealing with the

299
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: calf injury. It's on a short week. I wonder if

300
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: they jump out to a lead, do they say, hey,

301
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: let's put Josh Jacobs back on the side line and

302
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: save him. That's part of the reason I'm saying close

303
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: but not quite. I think he gets you over twenty points,

304
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: not quite twenty five. Look, that's still a really good game.

305
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna take it absolutely, but I do think maybe

306
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: the short week sort of impacts things. Plus there's always

307
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: the the real, very real possibility that Dvante Adams goes

308
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: berserk because people have sort of overlooked the fact as

309
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: we talked about how bad the Rams offenses, that the

310
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Rams secondary has given up a lot of big plays

311
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and we know Davante Adams could

312
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: do that. So I think it's a good game for

313
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, not quite enough to get him in the club,

314
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: unless maybe he slips the bouncer, like, you know, a

315
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: little cash or something on the under to get him

316
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: through the doors. Check Out this juicy nugget dug up

317
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: by our trusted research team about Deonte Johnson. He is

318
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: just the sixth wide receiver since targets started being tracked

319
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: into to have a hundred or more targets and zero

320
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns in a season. We've talked a lot about

321
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: how Deonte Johnson is getting a lot of usage, getting

322
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot of looks. Has it really amounted to a

323
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: whole lot in fantasy production? They've got the Ravens this week.

324
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Is this the week that Deontay Johnson finally cracks the

325
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: end zone and scores a touchdown. No, I don't think

326
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: so this this to me is shaping up to be

327
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: like a run fest. So there's gonna be no Lamar Jackson.

328
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: So I think this will be a low scoring, just

329
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: gritty divisional game. I think we're gonna get a lot

330
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: of Nase Harris. I'm excited to start him. And that's

331
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: kind of it when the Steelers, because Kenny Pickett, he's

332
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: throwing like one touchdown a game. So if you don't

333
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: get that, I mean Deontay Johnson had eleven targets last week,

334
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: he turned it into eleven Fantasy points and now it's

335
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: just high with Kenny Pickett this year, Like it's just

336
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: it's been awful and plus on top of that, George

337
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Pickens was super angry after the game and the Steelers were.

338
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was like, I like that, So I wouldn't

339
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if maybe he's getting more volume. So this

340
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: might be the Squeaky Wheel game for George Pickens a

341
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm with you, though I don't. I don't

342
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: think this is the week that Deontay Johnson gets in

343
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: the end zone. I don't expect a lot of boring

344
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: in this game between these two teams. You mentioned no

345
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Steelers offense has not been exactly dynamic so

346
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: far this season, so I feel like this is gonna

347
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: be low scoring. There may only be a couple of

348
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns total in this game, maybe one for either side,

349
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of field goals and a lot

350
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: of running the football. So sorry, Deante, you might have

351
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: to wait another week before we talk about you getting

352
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Here. Back to our game previews

353
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: for Week four, team Jets at the Bills, and Bam

354
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Knight has been a guy we've been talking about as

355
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: a waiver wire ad and and a potential starter for

356
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy teams playoffs on the line. You

357
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: need a win to get in this week? Do you

358
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: trust Zonovan bam Night. It's tough because Michael Carter's looking

359
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: like he's going to return this week. If Carter was out,

360
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: I'd say a hundred percent because the Bills have been

361
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: struggling against the run. No Val Miller, like you said,

362
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: uh sadly, but Michael Carter coming back that that makes

363
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: things a little bit more complicated because we've seen Tai

364
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: John and used in the passing game. We've seen Night

365
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: get the bulk of the groundwork. I saw one reporter

366
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting which one, but say that he still expects

367
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: Zonovia Knight to lead the way. But that's speculation until

368
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: we see it. Uh, it would depend on your options,

369
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: Like I would not like I would sit him in

370
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: favor of like the Miami running backs, so we have

371
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: a good matchup as well, But like I think I

372
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: would play him over say the Bills running backs. I

373
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, it would really depend on who my options are.

374
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: But with Michael Carter playing that kind of has me

375
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: out on BAM Night. And even with you saying he's

376
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: going to lead the way, that doesn't mean he's going

377
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: to be the guy that That certainly means Carter can

378
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: can cycle in there, and maybe they decided to go

379
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: with a third running back. So there are just too

380
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: many things that play here. And let's go back to

381
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: what you were saying. If the Bills can get their

382
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: offense together and go out and score points, then that

383
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: sortinly potentially takes the running game out of play in

384
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the game script there, So I would probably stay away

385
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: from him if I could anything else, though that maybe

386
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: people should pay attention to in this one. I think

387
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: James Cook is a sleeper, and in my my League

388
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: of record, I used the ten five dollars that I

389
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: had left to get him on my roster because I

390
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: think that the upside is high. Last week, he played

391
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: the same number of snaps as Devin Singletary. He actually

392
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: had more carries, he got some goal on work, even

393
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: though it Singletary that scored the touchdown, and then he

394
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: had six targets. And that's notable to me because Devin

395
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: Singletary's past game usage has vanished like and in the

396
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: last five games he has two targets, are less than

397
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: four of them, and there's a three game stretch where

398
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: he has like two targets total. Whereas James Cook, we've

399
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: been saying, oh year, they the Bills want some of

400
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: running back who could be used in the passing game.

401
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: And I continue to be on the side of even

402
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: if we see a split down the middle with Singletary

403
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: and Cook, I would rather James Cook because he's far

404
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: more explosive. He's more explosive, and he's gonna get that

405
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: passing game work. That definitely upgrades him in terms of

406
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: his potential fantasy floor, maybe the ceiling as well. Brown's

407
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: at the Bengals, the battle of Ohio and Joe Mixon,

408
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy and back on the field

409
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: is they must start. And look, I would even say

410
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: if it's that Joe Mixing, I would pivot that to

411
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: some JP Ryan. But looking for Joe Mixing to be

412
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: back at a concussion protocol and getting to play for

413
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and it's it's simple. We have been picking

414
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: on the Browns run defense all year long. It has

415
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: been a pretty tried and true thing. And Mixing we

416
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: sort of talked about it earlier in the week. Right,

417
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Nixon a more talented back than some I JP Ryan,

418
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: but that offense keeps chugging along. So now you plug

419
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Mixing back in there. I expect him to be incredibly efficient.

420
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: He's going to hopefully get some targets. We'll see how

421
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: much of the two minute offense he gets. But either way,

422
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: this feels like an absolute no brainer start for a

423
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: guy who schedule isn't particularly great. In the fantasy playoffs,

424
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: this might be one of the last few times you

425
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: can feel really super confident about using him there. Texans

426
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys. It's the battle of the state of Texas.

427
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember in the very first ever

428
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Houston Texans game, David Carr was the starter and somehow

429
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Dallas Cowboys. It was wow, phenomenal. Anyway,

430
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is back as the starting quarterback for the

431
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. If that does anything for you, Nope, okay,

432
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: real Michael Gallup be a top twenty fantasy receiver this week.

433
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: He was the wide receiver sixteen in Week thirteen with

434
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: a pair of touchdowns. That was against a Colts team

435
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: that just looked absolutely clueless in the second half. Can't

436
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: he double up and be a top twenty wide receiver

437
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: again this week? I'm excited about Michael Gallup. Rest of

438
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: the season. The Cowboys have a pretty favorable schedule, but

439
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: not this week because the Texans won. Their secondary has

440
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: been better than they get credit for. Like they have

441
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: not allowed a lot of production to quarterbacks or receivers,

442
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: partially because you can run all over them and we

443
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 1: know that the Cowboys are fine doing that. Like this

444
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: could be a game where we see Zeke and Tony

445
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Pollard combined for like thirty five plus touches, I think,

446
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, it just limits the upside

447
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: of the receivers. Plus the It's gonna be hard if

448
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: the defense is getting like seven touchdowns to Michael Gallups

449
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: to get multiple again, because you saw what the Cowboys

450
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: defense did and then you saw what the Texans offense

451
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: allowed to the Browns defense. Yeah, last week, the cowboy

452
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: Is defense limited the opportunities for their offense because they

453
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: just kept scoring and they kept putting the Colts offense

454
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: back out on the field. I don't think Gallup had

455
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: stopped twenty this week simply because of as you mentioned.

456
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that the opportunity is going to be there,

457
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: just because why would you When you have two backs

458
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: like Pollard and Zeke you can go against that awful

459
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: Houston Texans run defense. I will also tell you that

460
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense is an absolute must start. You're probably

461
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: starting them anyway because they've been one of the top

462
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: defenses in Fantasy oh year long. And now there's the

463
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: potential bonanza happening for you against the Texans this week.

464
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: We we saw how awful it was last week against

465
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, and the Browns putting up thirty fantasy points.

466
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and guarantee you thirty fantasy

467
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: points for this Cowboys defense, but I do think a

468
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: big day is coming. Even with Davis Mills back as

469
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: the starter. That only changes things ever so slightly. There's

470
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna be sacks, There's possibly going to be turnovers, and

471
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could be one of those teams that helps

472
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: you along to victory. In Week fourteen, Vikings at the Lions,

473
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: which just mentioned this, The Lions, despite being five and seven,

474
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: are a favorite at home against the Minnesota Vikings. And

475
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: you have this little revenge that you have on your

476
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: mind in season revenge. I think one guy is gonna

477
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: be like you guys traded me and and now I

478
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: get to go again, see and I'm gonna make you

479
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: pay for that. I maybe not, but d J. Hockenson,

480
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: I think is a start, even because not even because

481
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: of revenge, just because of the matchup. Like the Lions

482
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: have struggled, They've allowed the fifth most fantasy points per

483
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: game in the position this year. That's over fourteen per game. Uh.

484
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: They're also top four in yards and touchdowns allowed to

485
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: players in the slot. Hockinson has led the Vikings and

486
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: slot targets since he's joined them. Uh, and I think

487
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: that bodes well for him. Plus, when we're talking about

488
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: it tight end like Hockinson, his floors like seven eight

489
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: fantasy points. That's pretty safe. And then and then the

490
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: ceiling is obviously much higher. I wonder if he sat

491
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: and watched the A. J. Brown revenge game from last

492
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: week and it's like, yep, I'm doing that. I mean,

493
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make He's not gonna make incredible contested

494
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: catches like A. J. Brown did downfield. Imagine if he did,

495
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: that would be incredible. So start T J. Hawkinson also

496
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: because he's one of like three tight ends that we

497
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: can count on on a regular basis. Left in fantasy

498
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: this year. Eagles at the Giants, pretty big game in

499
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: the NFC East, of course, the Eagles trying to stay hot,

500
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: the Giants trying to hang in there. They are in

501
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: playoff contention right now and trying to stay in that race.

502
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: You can start Miles Sanders this week, and it hasn't

503
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: necessarily been a given each and every week. He started

504
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the season hot, he sort of cooled off a little bit,

505
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: and some of it always depends on what the Eagles

506
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: game plan is this is a week where I don't

507
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: know that they go heavy in the past game. We

508
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: saw that last week. This week, I think this is

509
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: a week that they can try to run the football

510
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: because in the last month a Giants run defense has

511
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: been softened up quite a bit. So I think we

512
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: see Sanders get involved. I think this is week we

513
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: see Jalen Hurts doing things with his legs and maybe

514
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: occasionally getting the ball out to a J. Brown DeVonta Smith.

515
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think the wide receivers are gonna have

516
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: as big a game this week as they did last week.

517
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be more of a ground

518
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: and pound sort of offense for Philly. That's good news

519
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: for anybody that has Miles Sanders in their lineup. Got

520
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: a lot more to talk about here on the show

521
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: Bucks and forty is, we're gonna talk about Mike Evans

522
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: and maybe what we're doing with Deebo Samuel that's coming

523
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: up after the break on the NFL Fantasy Football show.

532
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: our game previews. The Ravens at the Steelers. We are

533
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: pretty sure we're not gonna see Lamar Jackson, and we've

534
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: decided that Deonte Johnson is not going to score touchdown.

535
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: So please give us some sort of positive news here.

536
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: Start Naji Harris. Look, I know it was rough for

537
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: Naji Harris early in the year, but he's been better

538
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: as of late, and I don't think he's gotten enough

539
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: credit for it. And three of the last four games

540
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: he has at least seventeen carries and at least eighty

541
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: six rushing yards in them. And then after having one

542
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: touchdown through the first ten weeks of the season, he

543
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: has three rushing touchdowns in his last three games, so

544
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: he's getting more utilized there. Uh, And even the passing

545
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: game usage continues to be up and down. But this

546
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: is a game that I think it's gonna be closed.

547
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be ugly. You know they're gonna try to

548
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: get Naji Harris to ball. This give is not gonna

549
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. I mean, it's it's going to

550
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: be just a slug fest between these two teams. Neither

551
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: offense is particularly great. The defenses are good enough, but

552
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: it's nice to know that we can at least count

553
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: on something this football game. Jaguars at the Titans last week.

554
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: Not a great week for Travis et and not a

555
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: great week for the Jaguars offense as a whole. They

556
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: only scored fourteen points. Does E. T N bounce back

557
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: this week against pretty good Titans run defense. I don't

558
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: think so. Um, And this is what I wrote in

559
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: my stardom sitem intro. I was like, uh, an example

560
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: of a player that I really wanted to conside to

561
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: write as a sit was Travis E. T N. But

562
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: and I can't in good conscious tell you to sit

563
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: him with six teams on by this week, meaning that like,

564
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: if you have other options, get away from him. But

565
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: the chances are that many managers with him don't have

566
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: anyone who brings his kind of upside. So well, I

567
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: don't love his matchup and I don't love how he's

568
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: been used in the production we've been getting him out

569
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: of lately. I think the upside is too high that

570
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: unless you have another reliable running back, and in spots

571
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: like I'm starting James Cook because of Byes or Latavious Murray,

572
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: there's no way I could ever sit e t n

573
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: in a situation like that's gonna be. The hard part

574
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: is that you probably don't have anybody to replace him.

575
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: But I have a sense this game is going to

576
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: be contested through the air. You're talking about two of

577
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: the top twelve run defenses in the NFL. Meanwhile, these

578
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: are two of the bottom three or four past defenses

579
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: in the league, which is why I've got z Jones

580
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: as a sleeper. And I know we talked about this

581
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: last week, right We were big on Za Jones against

582
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the Lions, and it didn't work out from an execution standpoint,

583
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: It was not from an opportunity standpoint. He played about

584
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: the snaps. He had seven targets, Christian Kirk had eight,

585
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: so there were plenty of chances for him to make

586
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: plays last week against Detroit, it just didn't happen. He

587
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: had a number of drops, so that gives me confidence

588
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: to sort of double down on this again. He is

589
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: very much in the mix there in Jacksonville. He's earning targets.

590
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: He has the trust of Trevor Lawrence, so the opportunities

591
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: are going to be there. We just need him to

592
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: squeeze the football. And like I said, got a great

593
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: matchup against that Titan secondary, the one that just got

594
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: torched by the duo of A. J. Brown and Devanta

595
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Smith last week. They may have their hands full with

596
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Za Jones this week. Chiefs at the Broncos,

597
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: which I think before the season this game looked a

598
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: lot more appealing than it does right now. Good news

599
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: for you and for the Chiefs there is Sony is

600
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: back in practice, so we'll see what he actually makes

601
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: it on the field this week. But there's at least

602
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: reason to be optimistic about it. But there's somebody that

603
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: you're not all that optimistic about. I'm saying be where

604
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster in this game because there's a lot

605
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, in his last two games combined, he

606
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: is seven targets and fewer than forty yards in each

607
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: of them. Plus Patrick Curtan is on the other side,

608
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: and as bad as the Denver Broncos have been this year.

609
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: It's entirely on their offense. Like their defense is one

610
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: of the very best in the NFL, they're also one

611
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: of the very best at limiting wide receivers. Only the

612
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: Colts have allowed fewer fantasy points per game this year.

613
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Plus I am curious to see if they use Curtan

614
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: more on Kelsey or Juju. But either way, with Juju struggling,

615
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: with the matchup being tough, and then with this being

616
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: a game where the Chiefs probably don't have to score

617
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot of points, like ten points might be enough

618
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: to put away the Broncos, I don't know how aggressive

619
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: they will be. And then also I guess if there's

620
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: one positive here markets it's that this is a little

621
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: sneak preview for people to decide what to do with Juju,

622
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: because they get this matchup again in Championship Week. So

623
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: there's a thing going around on on fantasy Twitter right now.

624
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Will Russell Wilson throw more throw for more touchdowns than

625
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: he has toilets in his house? He's a he has

626
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: twelve toilets in his house. I think he they said,

627
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: I think I read that he has to average one

628
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: touchdown pass per game for the rest of the season

629
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: to surpass that twelve. The problem is he's averaging like

630
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: points seven three touchdown passes per game, So there's a

631
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: very real question whether or not he will end the

632
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: season with more toilets in his home then touchdown passes.

633
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: This year, I think I think he's gonna surpass the

634
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: toilets just because of his Like, after the Chiefs, they

635
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: get the Cardinals, the Rams, the Chiefs again, and then

636
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Like, if you can't throw one touchdown pass

637
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: per week in that schedule, what are we doing well?

638
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is something to watch. Now

639
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: we are on Russell Wilson toilet watch at this white

640
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: that was the most well time perfect So we're gonna

641
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. We're gonna we're gonna keep

642
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: tracking this as we get through the remainder of the season.

643
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: Panthers at the Seahawks, two teams whose uniforms I feel

644
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: like look almost identical. If you're not really paying attention

645
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, I think you can start Deante Foreman. The

646
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: Panthers are coming off a by and even though you

647
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: go back to week twelve, it was a fairly even

648
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: split between Foreman and Chuba Hubbard. Foreman did have the

649
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: majority of the snaps. He had more rushing attempts, went

650
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: for over a hundred yards on twenty four carries a

651
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and now he gets the Seahawks

652
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: defense that look, we've talked in throughout the year about

653
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: them getting better than where they were at the start

654
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: of the season. Let's not forget the fact, though, that

655
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: they have been run on all year long. And yes,

656
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the big, huge Josh Jacobs game was sort of the headliner,

657
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: but they gave up over a hundred yards to Rashod

658
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: White the week before that. The week after that, they

659
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: gave up the two rushing touchdowns to cam Acres. So

660
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: this is a run defense that has been fairly bad

661
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: all season long. The Panthers want to run the football,

662
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily want to trust any of the quarterbacks.

663
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: I guess you don't have to worry about Baker Mayfield anymore.

664
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: So this feels like a nice Deonte Forman week for

665
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Carolina Bucks at forty niners, which I think we should

666
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that this is a matchup of

667
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: two late round quarterbacks. Right, You've got Mr Irrelevant and

668
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: Brock Purty And I don't know if you've ever heard this,

669
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: but Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round. I

670
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think people know that about him.

671
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: How How did the Patriots get him in the sixth round? Yeah,

672
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. So like, yeah, so we're talking about

673
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: two late round quarterbacks here that I don't know if

674
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: they're going to have a future in this league. Will

675
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: Mike Evans though it's been a while since he's been

676
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: in the end zone, hasn't scored since Week four? Does

677
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: he score touchdown this week? No? I I am worried

678
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: about Mike Evans. I'm at the point I have him

679
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: on one fantasy team and I just need to start

680
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: him because of options and stuff like, I don't know,

681
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: can I really sit him for for Za Jones or

682
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: Ron del Moore. But what was worrisome to me he

683
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: was that not even the lack of targets last week,

684
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: the lack of Brady even looking his way, like on

685
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: those last two drives. He did have the one where

686
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: he was mauled in the end zone, and that would

687
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: have been a game catching touchdown, a game winning touchdown

688
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: or all that he probably catches it because he was

689
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: wide open before he was tackled. But on that last drive,

690
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: like he was lined up to Brady's right the entire time,

691
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: and Brady would snap and look left like he wasn't

692
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: even remotely looking Mike Evans way, And that to me

693
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: is very concerning. I'm gonna say he scores a touchdown

694
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: this week. I don't know if it's a huge game

695
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: for him necessarily, but something just tells me he finds

696
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: the way into the end zone. I don't love Tom Brady,

697
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't start Tom Brady if I had other options,

698
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: and and like I said, I don't think that's a

699
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: big blow up game coming for Mike Evans, but something

700
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: tells me he will find his way into a touchdown

701
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: this week. On the other side, we talked about what

702
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: the Niners may have to do with no Jimmy Garoppolo,

703
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: and you think Debo could potentially be a part of

704
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: the answer. Yeah. What what encourages me about Deebo Samuel

705
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: is last week all ten of his targets came from

706
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Brock Purty. That was the most targeted player from party

707
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: because CMC finished with ten targets, but only nine of

708
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 1: them were from brock Party. And that's the thing, Like

709
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty average five point three a yards per tenth last week,

710
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: uh switched to me shows me that they're trying to

711
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: ask him to not do too much. They're trying to

712
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: quickly get the ball out of his hands, make short,

713
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: safe throws and let these playmakers do what they do

714
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: after the catch. And that's where Debot thrives. Like he

715
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: continues to be the best receiver on a per catch

716
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: basis in terms of YAK. So if they're just gonna

717
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: be like, hey, quickly get rid of this ball, I

718
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: think it's what we said on Monday. Debo and CMC

719
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: are the two niners he could keep trusting if there

720
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: are two guys they can scheme up touches for in

721
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: that offense fairly easily. It's Debo and it's Christian McCaffrey

722
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. It's also over at so FI Stadium

723
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: just to my right here. And one, I think this

724
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: is going to be an incredibly attractive uniform matchup between

725
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: these two teams. But also to had a bad game.

726
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: He started hot against the forty is. His first pass

727
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: went for seventy five yards and a touchdown. The rest

728
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: of the day was not nearly as good for him.

729
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: Do you expect a big bounce back against the Chargers

730
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah? Yes, The forty Niners defense is amazing

731
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: and the Chargers defense is pretty bad. Like that's the

732
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: huge difference there and the forty Niners. On the year,

733
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: they're they're in the bottom like, uh, they've allowed a

734
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: very few there, in the bottom five, and Fantasy poets

735
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: allowed two quarterbacks. Meanwhile, the Chargers are in the top

736
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: six in the last month, whereas in the last month

737
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: the Niners are the fewest. So you're going from the

738
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: one side of the spectrum to the exact opposite, and

739
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: we've seen with two of that he can put up

740
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: big numbers in good matchups. I do think to what

741
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: comes back this week. It's just we said last week

742
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: that that might be the toughest matchup for the Dolphins

743
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: all year long, going against the forty Niners, and it

744
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: did not go well for them. This is a much

745
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: easier situation, so I think he's going to have a

746
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: pretty nice performance for you. I also think you can

747
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: start either of the Dolphins running backs. Now as I

748
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: sit here right now doing this show, I can't tell

749
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: you who's going to be the leader because Jeff Wilson

750
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: comes and immediately he takes more than fifty of the snaps.

751
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Then last week it was the Raheem Mostard show. He

752
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: had I believe the snaps, which he turned into a

753
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: handy seven carries for thirty yards. But I think either way,

754
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: both these guys are going to have an opportunity to

755
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: have big games, even if they're still splitting the opportunities

756
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: just because the Chargers run defense has been dashed, not

757
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: just this year, but for the last couple of years.

758
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: It has been a consistent problem for Los Angeles. So

759
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: I think if you've got Wilson, you're absolutely starting him.

760
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: If you've got Mostard, I think you can use him

761
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: as a flex option. This week, it's time for Who's

Speaker 1: so order with Uber Eats today, let's talk about this

765
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: Patriots Cardinals matchup. Mike, who do you think it's gonna

766
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: ball out in this one? I think you can start

767
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Brown in this one. And the you know what

768
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: we always hear with the Patriots is like Belichick is

769
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna scheme taking away your best player, Well that's Deans Hopkins.

770
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: So if he's throwing extra attention de Hop's way, I

771
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: think that just opens up stuff opposite side of the

772
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: field for Marquis Brown. And it's worth mentioning that we've

773
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: only seen one game this year where both of them active.

774
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: It was before there By last week, and Marky's Brown

775
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: had more targets than DeAndre Hopkins. I don't expect that

776
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: to be the norm, but I think it'll vary week

777
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: to week. Like I don't think this is a situation

778
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: where like Marcus Brown is the firm's second fiddle because

779
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: d hop Is gonna take so much defensive attention away

780
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: that Marcus Brown will get his as well. And there's

781
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: always a third of the deep ball with he and

782
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray having that connection to so if he can

783
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: pop a couple of long ones, that definitely improves his

784
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: outlook for the week. That was Who's Gonna Eat presented

785
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: by Uber Eats, official on demand food delivery partner of

786
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: the NFL. Even if you make the wrong fantasy lineup call,

787
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: make the right call on delivery order with Uber Eats

788
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: today This week NFL players are wearing customized cleats in

789
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: honor of the causes they support. Through My Cause, My

790
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: Cleats to hear players stories been on their custom cleats

791
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: for charity and learn how they are making a difference

792
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: in their communities. Text m C m C to six

793
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: five six three five. So in case you forgot Falcons, Bears, Packers, Commanders, Colt, Saints,

794
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: they all have the week off, so all those players

795
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: are not going to be available to you, So you

796
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: might be hurting at a few different positions to try

797
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: and field a lineup. So we've got some streaming options

798
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: at quarterback, tight end, and defense because those are generally

799
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: the ones positions, the ones where it's harder to find

800
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: some talent if you need it. So let's start a

801
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who is a streaming option for you this week,

802
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanhill, which I know you might be like, what, like,

803
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: that's kind of gross, I get it, But it's all

804
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: about the matchup against the Jaguars. Since Week six, every

805
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: quarterback who has played the Jacksonville Jaguars except for Russell Wilson,

806
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: has finished as a top ten quarterback in that week.

807
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: In the last month, they've allowed the second most fantasy

808
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: points per game the quarterbacks at Jared Goff, he just

809
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: scored his most Fantasy points in two months. The week

810
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: before that, Lamar Jackson had that same thing happened both

811
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: against this Jaguars defense. And then you add in the

812
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: fact that the Titans defense really struggles against the past

813
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: as well, especially they give up a lot of big plays.

814
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: I think this could be a sneaky, high scoring game.

815
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: And the thing is like, I don't think you're gonna

816
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: have much competition trying to pick up Ryan Tannehill. That's

817
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be a lot of folks fistfighting over

818
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. I said this game is probably gonna be

819
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: contested through the air and that that definitely helps Tannehill's outlook.

820
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: Hopefully Traylon Burke's is healthy too, because that's gonna be

821
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: a big impact in that game if he can go.

822
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have Kirk Cousins because the Vikings have been

823
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Kok Cousins this year, I feel like

824
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: has been sort of what his reputation makes him out

825
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: to be, which is just sort of math. And that's

826
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: what's happened. Right in the good matchups. He's been pretty

827
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: good in the bad matchups he's been not so good.

828
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: This is a very good matchup and what I think

829
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a high scoring game. I know

830
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this game sort of the way

831
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: we talked about Jags Lions last week, which, by the way,

832
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: that was a high scoring game. It's just that one

833
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: team scored most of the points in that one. I

834
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: think this one might be a little bit more even.

835
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: But I also expect that Kirk Cousins is gonna get

836
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: the ball out to his guys, and this is one

837
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: of those matchups where I think he can prosper had

838
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: eight teen points when these teams met earlier in the season,

839
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: not bad. I think he can do at least that,

840
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more this week. Over the tight

841
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: end spot, which has been a menace for us all

842
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: year long and hasn't gotten any better. A lot of

843
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: people have been streaming for a long time at tight end.

844
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: What is an option for them this week? Hunter Henry

845
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: who unfortunately I am picking up and streaming myself in

846
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: a number of leagues. But the thing is this is

847
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: about the matchup. Not only have the Cardinals allowed over

848
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: twenty Fantasy points per game to the position whereas only

849
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: one other team allows over fifteen per week. To put

850
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: that into perspective, but they've allowed the most targets, catches, yards,

851
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. That's that's the full allotment of stats that

852
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: you can allow to a position, and they have allowed

853
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: the most, uh two tight ends. And say you're in

854
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: a really deep league and Hunter Henry you miss out

855
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: on him. I think John new Smith is a deep

856
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: league sleeper because he, outside of ROMANJ. Stevenson, leads the

857
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: Patriots in yak and we know the Cardinals will give

858
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: up a bunch of that. I remember how I used

859
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: to like both Hunter Henry and John new Smith and

860
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: then they went to the same team and functionally disappeared

861
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: from our lives. But I do like him this week

862
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: as a sleeper because dot dot dot Cardinals. I am

863
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna go back, get my passport stamped, and take another

864
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: visit to the island of Foster Moreau. And this might

865
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: be the last week we can talk about using Foster

866
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: Moreau because Darren Wallers says he's ready to come back.

867
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: It could be back for next week's game against New England,

868
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: So this might be your last chance to stream Moreau.

869
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,479
Speaker 1: Maybe this means we get Darren Waller back in our lives,

870
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: we'll see. But the Rams have been pretty bad against

871
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: tight ends all year long. I talk about how their

872
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: secondary has given up big plays, they've also been soft

873
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: sort of underneath and in the middle. And if Foster

874
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Moreau can avoid maybe running up on Bobby Wagner, he

875
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: should be able to get open and earn a few

876
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: targets and maybe find his way into the end zone. Look, man,

877
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: if you get six points out of a tight end,

878
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: and you should be pretty happy about that. If you

879
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: get like ten points and you're over the moon about it,

880
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: I mean unless you're tight in as Travis Kelsey, if

881
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: he only scores you ten points and you're probably heartbreaking.

882
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: But like he's like the only one at this point.

883
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Defense and special teams, anyone that you like this week.

884
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: This is another one that sounds gross, but Raiders. Yeah,

885
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: their defense. I know it's been bad, but you know

886
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: what's been worse the Rams offense. And right now they've

887
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: allowed the third most fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.

888
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: They are extremely depleted on both sides of the ball,

889
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive side of the ball. They give

890
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: up sacks, they turn the ball over that that's what

891
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: you want when you're streaming a defense. And there's rumors

892
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield might try to suit up for this game.

893
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: That's only a good thing for the Raiders defense because

894
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: he's literally coming in not knowing the playbook or anything

895
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: like that. He's I'm just gonna throw it to the

896
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: same color helmet. That's going to be his goal for

897
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: the week. If that is the case. I do like

898
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders as a sleeper defense this week. I also

899
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: like as a sleeper defense the chief Switch. That's not

900
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: a defense we talk a lot about in fantasy football

901
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: for pretty good reason. They haven't been particularly great. But

902
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this about the Broncos offense.

903
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: It's bad. We literally just spent a couple of minutes

904
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson and his bathroom appliances and whether

905
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: or not he can have more touchdown passes by the

906
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: end of the year than he has in his house.

907
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: So this to me suggested the Chiefs really are a

908
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: good option. The Broncos cannot score points, they are struggling

909
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: to move the ball consistently, and they could be forced

910
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: into a situation where they have to be a little

911
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: bit more one dimensional unless the Broncos defense can keep

912
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs out of the end zone, which not impossible

913
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: but incredibly difficult. This seems like it's gonna be a

914
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: bad game script for Denver and allow the Chiefs to

915
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: kind of kind of pin their ears back and come

916
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: after the quarterback a little bit. So I like them

917
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: as a sleeper this week. Let's get to some of

918
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: our top sleepers four week fourteen, Floria. Who you got

919
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams? And I know that DJ Chark is going

920
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: to be a popular streaming option this week, and I

921
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: like him too, but I think Jamison Williams is the

922
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: swing for the fences type of play. He was very

923
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: limited last week, and Dan Campbell said that, but he

924
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: said expect more of him next week and said it

925
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: will be like how they brought back Jerry Jacobs from

926
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: an a c L injury. Jacobs was limited his first

927
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: two weeks before they really started to get him more acclimated.

928
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: But with this being such a big game for the

929
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: Lions and the fact that the Vikings allowed the second

930
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: most fantasy points receivers plus the second most play yards

931
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: on deep passes, I think the Lions are gonna pick

932
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: their spots and take a couple of deep shots with

933
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. So if you're in need of a swing

934
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: for the fences type of play, he is the one

935
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: I would take a shot. I do love how the

936
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: Lions like we want to get him in. We're gonna

937
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: work him in on special teams, and then they don't

938
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: punt for the entire game, so he doesn't even get

939
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: that opportunity. Since we're talking about the Lions, let's talk

940
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: about Jared Goff because I like him as a sleeper

941
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: this week as well. We keep talking about the Vikings defense,

942
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: it has been a soft target for a little while. Now,

943
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: the Lions offense starting to get hot. We've seen what

944
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm on route St Brown can do oh year long.

945
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: Now DeAndre Swift is sort of back and part of

946
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: the passing game. Jamison william was potentially an opportunity. You

947
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: mentioned DJ Chark is a guy that could be a

948
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: nice sleeper option for a lot of teams this week,

949
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: and Jared Goff is the guy who's sort of taking

950
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: advantage of all of it. It's not always pretty, it's

951
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: not always super high scoring, but this feels like a

952
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: week that you can get him in, certainly in two

953
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: QB leagues, but maybe even as a low end QB

954
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: one in one QB leagues as well. We have some

955
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: sleepers that actually aren't Lions today, too, don't we Yeah,

956
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: we do, and and this is a deep one, but

957
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: Richie James because the Eagles secondary on the outsides is

958
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: probably the best in the league. Like both of their

959
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: corners are in the bottom three and passer rating allowed

960
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: when targeted, but the Eagles are actually in the top

961
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: ten in yards allowed. Two receivers lined up in the slot,

962
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: so I think this is a game where they're gonna

963
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: make life tough on Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodges. But

964
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: then that means that Richie James could be open and

965
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: maybe get some bump in volume, especially if the Giants

966
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: are chasing points, which the Giants are likely chasing po Hey,

967
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed this, but I think

968
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: that Lions Vikings game is gonna have a lot of

969
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: points in it. That's why I'm saying Adam Feeling is

970
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: a sleeper this week. And it has been a while

971
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: since we have talked about Feeling. The touchdown regression that

972
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: we have been predicting for a while. Seems to have

973
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: hit so has a regression when it comes to receptions

974
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: and receiving yards as well. But this feels like an

975
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to get more involved. Had six targets

976
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: last week. He's still on the field of time, just

977
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: not getting a whole lot of looks. But in a

978
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: game that could be back and forth, I think Adam

979
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Feeling is in play. A touchdown would certainly help his

980
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: outlook this week against Detroit. Anybody else you got as

981
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: a sleeper, I have Ty Johnson. Again, You're gonna have

982
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: to monitor um Michael Carter in his health. But if

983
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: Carter's banked up or anything like that, still Ty Johnson

984
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: last week led the Jets backfield in targets and with

985
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: seven of them I believe so he's clearly a back

986
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: that they trust in the past game. And and that's

987
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: the thing like if they're chasing points, are needing to

988
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: put up points to keep up with the Bills, he

989
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: could get more usage again. But as long as Michael

990
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: Carter is not out there, Yeah, keep an eye on

991
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: the Jets injury report all week. My last one is

992
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense. I don't think there's gonna be a

993
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: lot of points scored between the Steelers and the Ravens

994
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: this week. We also know that Baltimore is not going

995
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: to have, or at least they don't expect to have

996
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Their wide receiver corps is a mess. Mark

997
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: Andrews has not looked like himself since coming back from

998
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: the injury. There's just not a whole lot of reasons

999
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: to fear this Ravens offense this week. So I think

1000
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: for t J. Watt and that front line and then

1001
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: the secondary that can make some plays here. And if

1002
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: you're needing some help on the defensive side of things,

1003
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: Steelers could be a good streaming option for you. For

1004
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: more Sleepers, some of those names that I mentioned and

1005
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: maybe some other ones that I didn't mention as well,

1006
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: you can check out my weekly Sleepers column at NFL
