1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Wow, fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? James co here

2
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: and you're listening to the NFL Fantasy Live podcast. Oh boy,

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: what a great show we have in front of us

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: here today on a beautiful Friday, go around the horn.

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: We got the whiz kid from Wisconsin, Alice Gale Hard.

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? Yo? MGM my got Marcus Grant.

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's Friday. Yeah, it's Friday. Say yeah.

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: By the way, we also have Mann Harmon here, what's

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: going on? Man? Oh cool? We also you know, hey,

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: that's like the best intro he's given you in the history.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: That's that's not a single I should probably be grateful

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: for that. Um here I noticed And MG, you could

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: back this up and tell me if I'm wrong, But

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I feel as if Gail Hart and Harmon are much

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: more lower energy slash extra salty. What happens when you

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: give up beer? No, that's that's b s. That's I

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: just have You're you're referring to my hat, which I

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: woke up and it's a Friday, and uh, I was

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, d gaff Well, I saw

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: the hat on my dresser and I grabbed to be

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: fair to be fair to James point at least on

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: your end, Alex like you're not really a hat guy,

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, you don't look particularly adept at wearing

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: a hat. This is true, It's true. It's because my

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: head is so large that no hats fit it. Yeah,

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: like you can't really, you can't really rock the hat.

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: So then for James to then see you in the hat,

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: that immediately thinks like it's like anybody else like coming

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: to work in sweatpants, Like, oh, you're you're not really trying.

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't wear a flat brimmed hat because

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: my head is too large. It does not work. And

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: like this is one of like two hats that I

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: owned that actually fits me, because even one size fits

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: all hats, one size fits almost all, Like a hat

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: that could fit Harmon's head I wear and I look

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: like Fozzy Bear. So his hat is actually the two

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: thousands seven Hackers draft cap. That's how long I've had it,

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: because it only Adam and Adam Rank and I are

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to get you on the backward snap back, dude,

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm on backwards. I'm on team back. I can't do it.

41
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: My forehead is too big. I've looked at it before,

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: I've tried it and it doesn't work. Let me, yeah,

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: let me back him up on this because I because

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I can. I can rock the backward snap back, and

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull it off. I cannot because I have

46
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times I going to the burrito truck

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: or something, I've worn it there and then I think

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: you tried it once and it was like, don't do

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: that again. A right, we have a great show in

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: front of us here today. We're gonna get to franchises

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Fiery Phone or we're gonna have some surprising Fantasy points against.

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: It's a favorite stat among a lot of fantasy heads,

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: but it's okay. We're four weeks in. We're gonna look

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: at some surprising f PA ranks and talk about what

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: that means for the upcoming matchups this week. And we're

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna do uh, E d G every single game every Yeah,

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: that's E s G. Yeah, okay, E d G every

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: darn game, every damn game. I'm gonna say week everreak

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: damn killing my role as the jovial buzz kill and uh.

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: And we will get to some deep sleepers as well

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: when we start the show as always with your top headlines,

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breaking,

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Continue to follow, breaking news, news, kids, your wife starting Carolina.

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton looks like he's probably not gonna play on Sunday,

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol. I didn't see the practice report today,

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: but I don't not practice today, which would tell you,

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: which would indicate Derreck Anderson probably gonna get the start.

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: What does it mean, Carolina Boys? Uh? I mean Derrick

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Anderson will be fine. Yeah. If you need a streamer,

70
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: he's not a bad option at all. I think he

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: actually might be the top streamer on the board, to

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: be honest with you, Like, is that right? Yeah? Tampa

73
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Bay ranks seven and past defense d d o A

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: from Football Outsiders. In the two games he started for

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton against actually in two thousand fourteen against these

76
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: very Buccaneers, he went for five seven yards and three

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: touchdown sixties six point five percent completion. And the good

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: thing about Derek Anderson too, you know, he's that classic

79
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: backup that comes in. He's like, all right, I'm gonna

80
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: feed the dudes. I'm gonna feed my guys here. Calvin

81
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin had six in a touch and eight one oh

82
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: four in a touch on twenty one targets in the

83
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: two games. In two thousand fourteen, greg Olsen had eighty

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: three in a touch and ten and one oh ten

85
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: on twenty four targets in those two games. So those

86
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: are pretty good. Yeah, those are good. And you saw

87
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: that happening on Sunday when he came in, uh for

88
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and immediately just started pummeling greg ols That's

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, you can expect that he's gonna

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: come out slaying it and he's not going to care

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, again, this is one of those

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: things where quarterback performance and you know the fact that

93
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: he may throw a couple to the wrong color jersey

94
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily impact you. If you're starting Kelvin Benjamin or

95
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, you don't think that maybe Ron Rivero try

96
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: to tech Derrick Anderson a little bit by trying to

97
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: run the rock. I know Jonathan Stewart heard as well,

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: but I mean, I don't know they might he I

99
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: know Ron Rivera was salty in the news that they

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: didn't get keep their hundred yard games streak active. But

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: if this that's often is going to move through the air.

102
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: That's where you attack the Tampa Bay secondary. I'd be surprised,

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: like if Cameron out his pain had a really really

104
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: good fantasy game, right all right? Speaking of Jonathan Stewart

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: still not practicing as far as I know, Cappy or

106
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Fozzy Cap, I would say, we know like what Fozzy

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: is though, because he's been a pass catcher there. We

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: also talked about several times in the podcast how the

109
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks like typically won't check it off to the

110
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: downfield or the little running back in the flat. So

111
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: perhaps he gets even more targets after seeing I think

112
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: nine last week. So I would go with Fozzy. Like

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: Gallhart mentioned, Tampa Bay is really tough to run on

114
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: but really easy to throw on, so I would probably

115
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: go with him this weekend. I would say this though,

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: Carolina Tampa baits the Monday night game. So really we're

117
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: looking for is what will the I don't know if

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna practice tomorrow, but they they may, uh, and

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: if they do, you gotta keep a close eye on it.

120
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Sunday morning, just kind of look

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: out there, see what the reports are in cam Newton.

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: I bet you something might come out Sunday morning, So

123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: just keep an eye there. All right, We'll go to Oakland.

124
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray Turftoe doubtful to play versus San Diego. Uh,

125
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: it's a dream of matchup if you're running back and

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: and this could have been that crazy Lottavius Murray breakout game.

127
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: But right now it's not looking like he's gonna play.

128
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richards even could get a little bit

129
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: of burn. How high are you guys on DeAndre Washington?

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I like in the matchup is good. I

131
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: just worry that rate that the Raiders just are not

132
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: emphasizing the running game at all. I mean think they're

133
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: running at something like thirty eight percent of the time. Um,

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I guess with no Latavius Murray, potentially that means there's

135
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: you know, there are fewer guys to split the pie

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: up between that it will be Washington and probably Richard

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I just I just worry that

138
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: there's not enough touches in the backfield for them to

139
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: have a really truly huge game. This should be a

140
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: high scoring game. Both passing offs should be interesting, and

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I really like Washington as a receiver. He caught a

142
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: hundred and five passes over his last three years in college.

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: The Chargers allow the second most catches to running back.

144
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: It's in the NFL with thirty six heading into Week five,

145
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think he's probably the play He

146
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: was the guy they drafted. I think him and Richards

147
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Will Richard Will Will split carries and Jamize Olah Walle

148
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: might even pump in a goal line TV. He might

149
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: go full Matt Matt as on you. So no, I

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: was gonna. I was gonna mention the receiving part of

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: it had because I think it's a big part of

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: the equation because while like the f p A for

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: San Diego looks great, they actually only allow like three

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry. It's a lot of the

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: damage has been done through the air. You said, the

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: second most receptions, third most yards. But they've had six

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns come in on the ground, so that boost that

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: score as well. But this is a backfield where I

159
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: still like it's gonna be too much of a split.

160
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: If you have to play one, I think you go

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: d wash, But I'm I'm scared of it otherwise. Right now, man,

162
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited about seeing d Wash out there, I really am.

163
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: I think he's got I think he's gonna I think

164
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a great game. I think it's gonna

165
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: be high scoring, they're gonna fully I think they're gonna

166
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: utilize him a lot. I don't know. I'm I'm really excited.

167
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: To me. I see him as a solid RB two play.

168
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: He's like, uh, you know, he's really the big value

169
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: in DFS too, So if you're playing there, I think

170
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that's like a must grab in that situation, all right.

171
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffert, who reportedly suffered a back injury and practice

172
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: this week, ruled out Friday. Team is dead last in

173
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency. They need him out there. Uh if

174
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't go, I mean, if you've been holding on

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the Tyler Iford, just hold on one more week. Apparently

176
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: he's set to come back next week, at least the

177
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: team is pretty hopeful of that to replace the Wilson Phillips.

178
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: Just hold on one more week as a guy, as

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: a guy who has Tyler effort. And I've just been

180
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: way and waiting, waiting and playing that revolving door of

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: tight ends every single week. It was. It was a

182
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: tough pill to swallow. There's no doubt about it. How

183
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: about in Dallas, Dan Bailey, suffering from a back injury,

184
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: didn't practice Thursday. Uh, the team did work out Robbie

185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: gold Kai for bath according to Mike gar A Folo. Uh,

186
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: what's the labs report on Dan Bailey? Do we see

187
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: if you practice today? I don't even know if they're

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: done with practice yet. Either way, a kicker, well, he's

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: a good one. He's a good one though, and you

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: know he's a top ten guy. I'm just saying, if

191
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: you ever all I know, I'll just say this, There's

192
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: there's no way Dan Bailey's on the waiver wire right now.

193
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: He's definitely just about owned. And there's gonna be some

194
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: guy out there who hears this news that didn't know

195
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey was hurt. Yeah, I think the move is

196
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: if he's if he's injured, don't get one of their

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: other kickers. I'd say, just see what, just see what

198
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: else is out there that's a kickers available in a

199
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: potentially high scoring game. That's like, look if the Bears

200
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: kickers available, Josh Lambo, Janikowski, Mason Crosby, Josh Brown, like

201
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: those people that are gonna be in potential shootout games.

202
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Just go try and grab a kicker. Trevor Simon there

203
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: in Denver limited in practice this week. We know that

204
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: he's got a shoulder injury and his non throwing shoulder

205
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: and a c joint sprain. Is the reports on Trevor Simeon.

206
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: If it is Trevor Simeon. If it's not Trevor Simeon.

207
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: I think we talked a little bit about this on Monday.

208
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: But if it's Paxton Lynch, what does it mean for

209
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: somebody like Damarius Thomas. I don't really think it matters

210
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: too too much. Um. I think that Lynch does bring

211
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: a more downfield element, like we talked about. I think

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: on Monday's podcast, his average depth of aim throw was

213
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: thirteen yards, where Simeons hovers around seven point six average

214
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: for the season. So I think it does bring a

215
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: little bit more of a downfield element to the passing game.

216
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: And uh, Damarius Thomas has been that downfield guy this year.

217
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: But when you say it doesn't matter, are you also

218
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: saying on the flip side, then Emmanuel Sanders will see

219
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: just about the same amount of work. I mean, it's

220
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: just so much volume like those two just it's a

221
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: super highly concentrated passing offense pretty much exclusively flows through

222
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: those two, So I don't really think it matters too

223
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: much who's at quarterback. And you know, Lynch might even

224
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a of an upgrade because

225
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: he might be more of a risk taker. Don't doubt

226
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: that all right, how about Eric Decker He didn't practice Thursday,

227
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Quincy and Noon Whall on the report with a knee

228
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: injury as well. The pass catching uh combination there for

229
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: the Jets is a little banged up because marsh Brandon

230
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Marshall also banged up as well. This is godly man.

231
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: They've been decimated at the pass catching options there. Yeah,

232
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: I think I think it means more for the running

233
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: back situation. I really like balal Pole this week. Um,

234
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: but it looks like it looks like mad Forte may

235
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: play and he may be available, but we we've seen

236
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: him get fewer snaps and touches the last couple of weeks.

237
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: But I think part of it for the Jets, in

238
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: order to be successful in this game, they just have

239
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: to do what they can to keep the ball away

240
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: from the Steeler's offense. So that means they're gonna have

241
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: to try to run the football. So it may be

242
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: a situation where between Powell and Forte, those guys may

243
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: get you know, combined thirty to thirty five carries this week,

244
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: just to do what they can to keep Roethlisberger and

245
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Levian Bell sitting on the sidelines. I mean,

246
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick has nine turnovers over the last two games.

247
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: Out of his hands for a little while, you don't

248
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: want to and that's the thing, Like I feel like,

249
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a game where the Jets

250
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: could get boat raced, right like the Steelers at home.

251
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick kind of, you know, struggling a little bit. All

252
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: of his pass catchers are hurt. It's just it just

253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: seems like a game that can Jet secondary is a mess. Exactly.

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it more later, but exactly, you know,

255
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I kind of like Ryan Fitzpatrick in this game though

256
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: from a fantasy standpoint, garbage time, hero garbage time here.

257
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Alex Smith last last week was

258
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: doing literally dirt and then finishes the quarterback eleven in

259
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: week because but because by the way, breaking news, fantasy's

260
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: really stupid, Like Blaine Gabbert had nineteen points last night,

261
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: people Blaine Gabert had garbage point we're talking about. I

262
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: almost called them Gabert points, but garbage points start calling.

263
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, because the Steeler's offense just puts up points

264
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: on at home. They average thirty one point six points

265
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: per game at home since two thousand fourteen. They make

266
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: teams chase them. And I think Fitzpatrick like, if there's

267
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: one thing he can do, it's just pummel his number

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: one with targets. And yeah, that's why I'm I'm hopeful

269
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: for Brandon Marshall. I feel like Brandon Marshall could have

270
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: a nice garbage time game for sure. I feel like,

271
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: if Nonna and Decker out there, you don't want to

272
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: touch any of these other past catchers unless like, do

273
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: not go get a s J, do not get Robbie Anderson.

274
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: Just steer clear, Robbie Anderson, Dalen Marshall. Stop Sharon Peak Peak.

275
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that it was nice to see.

276
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: It was nice to seet see old Sharon Peak making

277
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: like a really nice catch against whatever team the Jets

278
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: played last week. I already forgot, but yeah's to tease

279
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: the talented player. Surprised you fell the seventh Seahawks whatever,

280
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: Who cares, It's in the past, but let's move on.

281
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: In Detroit, Marvin Jones returning to practice the hamstering Eric

282
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: Ebron did not practice. He's got a bad ankle. He's

283
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: unlikely to play Minnesota. Stefon Diggs is doubtful. He's dealing

284
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: with a growing injury. It really does not sound like

285
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: real quick Yes, back up to Detroit with Ebron out, like,

286
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: how do we feel that extra targets are going to

287
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: go around? I my sneaking suspicion is that it would

288
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: actually be in then Yeah, exactly a Kwan Bolden type

289
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: of is it? Yeah? I hope not. I absolutely think

290
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an Handkwon Bolden gume listen. Combination with

291
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson being moved into the starting lineup, I feel like, Hello,

292
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: what years this year? Johnson's Steve Smith and Kuan Bolden,

293
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: Larry Vice Gerald, the old dudes are bawling at right now?

294
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: Hey let me love it. Let me tell you though.

295
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeahs as gross as it sounds, considering how the years started.

296
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it could be Golden Tates weak. I mean that's

297
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: what I so. I wanted to bring up this topic.

298
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Get a little bit. But Jim Bob Cooter did say

299
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: this week that they want to that he wants Golden

300
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Tate to have a good game, and it's good to

301
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: want things. Yeah right, I mean, I know that is

302
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: that is one of the policies of this podcast. It's

303
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: nice to one things. But you know, Golden Tate is

304
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the type of receiver because his average depth of target

305
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: is so low that you can just feed touches to, Like,

306
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: would it really shock any of us if we come away,

307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: like we're sitting here on Monday morning, we're talking about

308
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: an eight for seventy yards, like eight catches for seven

309
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown game from Golden Tate. I think

310
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: it's likely we're talking about like an eight for thirty

311
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: six and a touchdown whatever. I mean, I wanted to

312
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: be just a little reasonable. It's brutal, oh man. So

313
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean it just I just wouldn't rule it out.

314
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: It's really hard to consider playing Golden Tate right now

315
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: because his usage has been so low. He just got benched.

316
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: He had a catch for a yard last week. But again,

317
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: maybe maybe if you're maybe if you're desperate again DFS

318
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: sort of play, maybe that's maybe that's where you go.

319
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he's got to do something at

320
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: some point. Now he doesn't know theoretically. All right, let's

321
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: talk about Thursday night football. Uh, let's have well. Look,

322
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: you know what, it was a bad first half. Heat

323
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. No, a little David Johnson

324
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: was doing things that oh my god, he's so good.

325
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: He might be our eyes. I thought Carlos Hide was fine.

326
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: I do think it's time to upgrade Carlos Hide. I

327
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: think I think on at least my fear going into

328
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: this season, and I know, you know, I know Harmon

329
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: was kind of big on the forty Niner offense. My

330
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: fear Carlos, I know your whole piece was Carlos I mean,

331
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: I think, but I think our fear, I think our

332
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: fear about it was that he was going to suffer

333
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: by being in a bad offense. But it hasn't really mattered.

334
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, whatever has happened with the forty Niners,

335
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: they keep feeding the ball, they keep giving the ball,

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: and just why. I don't think it was a question

337
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: of his talent because watching him, dude looks really really

338
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: good and it doesn't matter what the game script is.

339
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: He just keeps getting touches. Yeah, I mean, I don't

340
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: know what is what's his yards per carry right now?

341
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: I know it's not terribly but it's around four. I mean,

342
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: so it's not great. But I mean the bottom line

343
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: is he's taking what the defense is giving him. And

344
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: keep in mind he's also playing a desperate, hungry Arizona defense.

345
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, man. I was pretty darn

346
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: and pressed with what I saw from Carlos side. I

347
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: really was. I mean, I just love that day. Continue

348
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: to give him the ball, even like when they're in

349
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: garbage time. Like the garbage times, Hide rushing touchdown is

350
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: my new favorite thing in fantasy. It's funny, like I

351
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: was reading Twitter this morning and like one of the

352
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: things I saw was Damian Woody. I guess from ESPN

353
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: suggested that the problem is not blamed Gabette. The problem

354
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: is Chip Kelly, which confuses me because I feel like

355
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: he's actually I mean, when you've got guys like Jeremy

356
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Curley going for a hundred yards, That's what I'm saying.

357
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: When you've got Carlos Hide playing the best football of

358
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: his career, and I would give Chips some credit. Like

359
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: last year is pretty clear he was trying to mash

360
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: a square peg into a round hole with DeMarco Murray,

361
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: and especially in hindsight, it looks that way. I think

362
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: he's managed hide really well. Um. I don't know, man,

363
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: I know that that's the popular thing among NFL players

364
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: to say, which is the league is figured out? Trip Kelly,

365
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this isn't any players exactly. I'm like, actually,

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: have they because he's actually doing pretty well with guys

367
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: like scrappy players. I don't know, man, Look give this

368
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: guy some pro bowlers and let's see what's up. I

369
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: don't know, man, He's like to me, I think that

370
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: he's doing all right whatever. I'd give it some time,

371
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: all right. So there you go. Any other takeaways from Thursday. Oh,

372
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald still good? Cheez man, man, I know he's

373
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: so so ridiculous. One other point, I want to touch

374
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: down so awesome. I know. I remember telling Marcus this

375
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: this morning, like the Drew Stanton like fluttered the ball

376
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: in there, and I'm like, where the hell is that going?

377
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: And then Larry Ferald there's no there's no way that

378
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: ball is gonna ok, there's and pulled it in super smooth,

379
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: no no problems, man, it was so good. The one

380
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: of the point I want to make on Thursday night

381
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: and this is she just kind of a general point

382
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: about fantasy, like John Brown had a catch for eleven

383
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: yards and had people in my mentions, but like, oh no,

384
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: there's really panic on John Brown again. It's like you

385
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: kind of knew this was what was gonna happen, Like

386
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: you should have gone into this game with this is

387
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: a very very real end of the range of outcomes.

388
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: And that's just a general thing about fantasy. Like sometimes

389
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I think I went on a big Twitter rand about this,

390
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: if you care to go back and look at it,

391
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Like sometimes I think the best thing to do is

392
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: like don't take what you watch in games so seriously.

393
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: And that sounds counterintuitive when you're talking about freaking football,

394
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: but at the same time, like you have so much

395
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: emotion invested into it, especially when it's your players, and

396
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: I feel like it happens all the time on primetime games,

397
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: like you end up counting, you end up counting it twice,

398
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: like you go in thinking uh to to Sunday to

399
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: Monday night football last week, like man Odell Beckham might

400
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: have a slow game because he's facing the Vikings defense.

401
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: Then he has a slow game and you're like, oh Jesus,

402
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: what do I do with Odell Beckham? Like you knew

403
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. Why are you then freaking out

404
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: about it? Now? With last night? You like John Round

405
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: is playing with Drew Stanton. He might have a bad game,

406
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: he has a catch for eleven yards? Oh my god,

407
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do with John Brown? Well? I

408
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: think you're absolutely right, but I think a lot of

409
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: it is at some point you also want to believe

410
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: in the player's ability to to think that they can

411
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: overcome that, you know, Like you look at Odell Beckham

412
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, yeah, the Vikings are really good,

413
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: but he's O b J. Like he's going he'll find

414
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: a way to get over and when he doesn't, I understand,

415
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: And look, I think a little bit on Monday night. Um,

416
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: not that I have O b J in any teams,

417
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, you get a lot of questions about it,

418
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: and you're like, whoa wait, I don't know, what do

419
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: you what do you do? Like, maybe there's time to know.

420
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I think I think we're all guilty of it

421
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: to some respect, but I do agree. I felt like

422
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: last night, if there was any receiver who's going to

423
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: succeed with Drew Stanton, it was probably going to be Larry.

424
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be two touchdowns worth, but

425
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: I figured he would have the best night of any

426
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: of those receivers. Had a quarterback rating of about a

427
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five when throwing to Larry fits Yeah,

428
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good you know what this was as

429
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: we prepare to move on when this was the classic

430
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: example of just throw out your good place. You know,

431
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: when you talk about range of outcomes to the thing

432
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: with John Brown was I think the the one catch

433
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: eleven yard performance is in the range, but also like

434
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: a three catch hundred fifty yard to touchdown is also

435
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: in the range. And that's kind of why it was

436
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: so difficult because he only he got such game breaking

437
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: speed that he only needs a couple of shots. Like

438
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: when we were Stanton really going to give him those

439
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: shots that that was the touchdown through to Fitzgerald was

440
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: like it was like a sad duck, like that wasn't

441
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: gonna make the winter. My point is just like not

442
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: even to go back, and like hindsight a now this.

443
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: It's like whether it was the right decision to play

444
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: him or not. My point is, just like you know

445
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: what you're getting. Yeah, like you you should just don't

446
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: turn off your damn brain when you're analyzing princy football. Like,

447
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: but make these sort of psychological principles into account. It's important.

448
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: But we're all done with Michael Floyd, right real quickly,

449
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: got we've got something from Michael Floyd. Yeah, yeah, there's

450
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: a there's a sexy fourth round pick. You guys know

451
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: what's it is, right, it's franchise. It's fight your rephoning

452
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: of the week. My fire take is that Alfred Moore

453
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: gets revenge on the Red Kings bend. I looked that.

454
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like we're burning somebody. There's so much there's

455
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: so much heat coming. Some of the listeners have actually

456
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: been burned from this segment. No, I didn't mean it bad.

457
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm about to burn all of you guys. Alright, Franchise,

458
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: go man, give us some fiery takes, all right. I'll

459
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: start with my running back RB one lock of the week.

460
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: It is Chicago Bears Jordan Howard. I don't know if

461
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: you guys saw the Bears injury report this week, but

462
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty much all of their offensive still position players are

463
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: on there, uh, except for Howard and Brian Hoyer. So

464
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like a game where they're gonna vold up

465
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard with touches against a bad culture run defense.

466
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: He had twenty three Russia attempts last year, which is

467
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: last week, which is more than Jerry Lankford has ever

468
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: had in a game in his career, so they trust

469
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: him with a heavy workload. He played on sent of

470
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: Chicago snaps last week. Um, and you know they have

471
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: Joyke Bell there, but that's that's how get Joyce fell

472
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: out here. They're gonna load up Howard. Touches the cold

473
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: slow the fourth most fantasy points per game you opposing

474
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: running back. They're coming back from London, they chose not

475
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: to take up bye week. They're gonna be exhausted, Their

476
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: time zones are all mixed up, and it's gonna disrupt

477
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: their weekly routine. That needs to not be overlooked in

478
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the situation. UM, I expect Howard to be featured again

479
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: for the Bears, and I can see another twenty touch

480
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: workload for this guy, So fire him up as your RB.

481
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: Wanting is a great value playing DFS two this week. Alright, pal,

482
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: who are you worried about? Who am I worried about?

483
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who I'm worried about. Charlson against the

484
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: Panthers on Monday Night. This dude, Doug Martin went out,

485
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: we all plug Charles Sims into our lineup. He's gonna

486
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: be a feature back. Blah blah blah. You know what,

487
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: he's fucked. He's average two point nine yards Harry in

488
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: his h two games, with thirteen and fifteen carries gats.

489
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Last week was against Denver, But I mean, come on,

490
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: two point nine yards per Terry. We ain't nobody got

491
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: half that. He's got a knee injury. He's already mitched

492
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: practice this week. We don't even know if he's gonna start,

493
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: even though the team has sort of hinted he'll still play.

494
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Even if he does play, Caroline is allowing just three

495
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry to opposing running backs, but

496
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: he's ganged up. It's a bad matchup. He goes on

497
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Monday night. If you waste this out, you're gonna be

498
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: screwed and have no other options. They're just bench Charles

499
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: Sims and move on. All right, give me a fire

500
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: take pal, we got a sleeper to right. This is

501
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Give me your fire sleeper. But

502
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: we got to let me give you my alright, my

503
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: sleeper running back is James White this week with the

504
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: page it. I don't know if you guys know this,

505
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: but James White rapes third in New England and UH

506
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: targets and receptions through four games this year. Um only

507
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman at martelli Is Bennett had more. Julian Edelman

508
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: actually popped up on the Patriots injury report this week

509
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: with a foot issue, which is never a good thing

510
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: like midweek for a guy to pop up, So that

511
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: could mean more targets Brady's back obviously, which means they're

512
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna be more pass heavy than they have in the pack.

513
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: We'll get fun is also on the injury report with

514
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: a hit issue. Now you might remember a hint injury

515
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: ended his season last year. Obviously, we don't know how

516
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: furious it is because it's the Patriots, but this isn't

517
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: a good sign. If if Blunt was limited in practice,

518
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: maybe White got a few more rests in there with Brady.

519
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: They built a little chemistry. Brady comes in, tries to

520
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: knock off some rust with some dating ductor passes to White.

521
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: I can see a situation where White has fift team

522
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: touches against a bad Cleveland defense. This week it alright,

523
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: and the fire take of the week. What we got

524
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: the fire take of the week, you guys, is that

525
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: that Zentner finished is with more Fantasy points than theel

526
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Rick against the Eagles, who write it down in sharpie perfect,

527
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: Inc's gonna happen the Lions. The lines are death rate

528
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: first sparks in their run game. In the two games

529
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: without an Arabdullah they've had, they've averaged two point eight

530
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry as a team, after averaging five point

531
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: one in the first two games. Our boys, d Wayne

532
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: Washington has been banged up all week with an ankle injury.

533
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like he's gonna play. Uh And yes, Philadelphia's

534
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: defense is tough against running back, but Isaiah Crowell and

535
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy Lankford each scored touchdowns against them in Week one

536
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: and two. If they get down there in the red zone,

537
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: they're gonna give it to Zack Zenter to plow it

538
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: up through the middle. Because we know feel Riddick is

539
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: not a good runner between the tackles. He's averaging just

540
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: three point one yards per carry this year. He's not

541
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: a running back guy. He's a pass catching back. So

542
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: fighter alp zack center as a deep sleeper. I like

543
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: a double z let's go word alright, franchise, thanks for that, man,

544
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: I will catch you later. Show your day off man. Alright.

545
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: I love, I love, I love listening to his voice.

546
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Get all animated me again. I I just really wish

547
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: we could see the other end of the line as

548
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: he's staying in his living room screaming with no pants

549
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: on his neighbors. What in the hell is going on

550
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: in the apartment. Maybe we'll talk to shadowy league figures

551
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: and see if we can't. I can just do that

552
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: as a as a video segment. We'll get franchise in

553
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: his Now we don't have resources. Alright, let's talk about

554
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: f p A ranks and some surprising Fantasy points again ranks.

555
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: We'll start at the quarterback. Can I first? Can I first?

556
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: Just before we talk about FBA? Can I trash on

557
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: FBA for trash FPL you'd like? Okay, So here's my

558
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: problem with with f p A as a metric and

559
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't typically like when there's like one statistic to

560
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: represent a lot of different things in it. That's always confusing,

561
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: it's confuddling. It can be super deceiving, especially funningunling. I

562
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: just made that up. I like the word. It was

563
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: befuddling and confounding on what's Yeah, I'm a little clearly.

564
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: But anyways, like the problem with it is is it

565
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: can be super deceiving because it doesn't like you're just

566
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: taking all factors putting it into one number, especially in

567
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: small sample sizes like four weeks into the season, but

568
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: even football and its entirety in sixteen games is a

569
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: super small sample size. So my point about this is

570
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: it it can be super deceiving. I think like it

571
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: can be heavily skewed by touchdowns either scored touchdowns not scored.

572
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: So it's always like I just prefer to never talk

573
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: about it. But if you're gonna talk about if you're

574
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna look at it, I think you always have to

575
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: look at how we got there, like yards per carry allowed,

576
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: yards allowed, how often was a team targeted, or how

577
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: often are they run on because really it all comes

578
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: back to volume and game script. That's what fantasy points

579
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: are all about, that's how they're cured, and so I

580
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: really think that's more important to look at the fantasy

581
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: points allowed. I think the best example was I remember

582
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense was like super feared, like I gave

583
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: him a lot of rushing yards well exactly, but their

584
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: fantasy points against were not that not that bad because like,

585
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: oh nobody just nobody scored touchdowns on that. And then

586
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch, I think it was like week eleven

587
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: or week twelve back to back that was Latavious Murray

588
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: four carry too touchdown, a hundred and twelve yard game,

589
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: and then C. J. Anderson stung him for a hundred

590
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: and six and people were afraid of those guys going

591
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: in there. So I think that that's just always something

592
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: to keep in mind with this. All right, there you go, Now,

593
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: now let's talk about it. Let's talk about UH if

594
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I can, if I can at least speak the mind

595
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: of somebody who does use f p A. It's a

596
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it doesn't give you great specifics, great details,

597
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: but it can because especially if you go to our

598
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: our website NFL dot com slash fantasy, UH, you could

599
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: sort all of these stats defenses that give up the

600
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: most rushing yards, the defenses that give up the most

601
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: receiving yards to running backs, the most rushing yards to

602
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers. However you want to split it up, you

603
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: can't split it up NFL dot com uh slash fantasy

604
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: And again, the reason I like f p A is

605
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: that at least gives you a general snapshot of where

606
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: these teams are at. For example, uh, you know that

607
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons, that Detroit, that Oakland, they have bad defenses

608
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: and as a result, they they've given up the most

609
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: uh Fantasy points to quarterbacks. Now here's what's surprising to me.

610
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: Last year Philadelphia was also one of the worst or

611
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: one of the easiest for quarterbacks to score on. But

612
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: this year they're the toughest. They've only given up seven

613
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: point to three fantasy points per game. This week they

614
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: played Detroit. What does it mean for Matt Stafford. I

615
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: am actually worried about Stafford. I'm worried about the Lions

616
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: offense in general. I, you know, oddly enough, UM, I

617
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of agree with franchises fire take about Zack Senter.

618
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: I think he could end up being semi productive. But

619
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: I you know, I think with what we've seen out

620
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: of this The secondary I think has been better than

621
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: it has been in the past. Their asked rush has

622
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: been better. So I'm I'm a little bit concerned about Stafford. Yeah,

623
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: I take mine like I quiet. All of a sudden,

624
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles are. You haven't allowed a passing touchdown yet

625
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: from a quarterback. They've sacked the quarterback ten times in

626
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: three games. This defense is definitely a lot better. Uh

627
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: and last year and see again come back like volume

628
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: in game script. Chip Kelly's you know, hurry up, free

629
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: and out offense was putting the defense on the field

630
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: all the time, so they were exhausted. That's where they

631
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: were just getting whipped by teams down the stretch. Especially

632
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: David Johnson's like monumental game came against them. So I

633
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: think this year they've taken a big step for Jim.

634
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz is a really good defensive criminator as well.

635
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Jim Schwartz revenge game, that's a good

636
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: point total revenge game. He's gonna get get back at

637
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: the lines for sure. But you know, I'm not super

638
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: scared about Stafford. I would be a little nervous about him,

639
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: but the game is in Detroit. Uh, that does make

640
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: me feel a little bit better. Uh. The Eagles are

641
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,239
Speaker 1: getting their number one corner, Leotis mclvin back, But at

642
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: the same time, the secondary to me from a personal standpoint,

643
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: is still week. They've allowed a hundred and five yards

644
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: per game to number one wide receiver, so I think

645
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: Stafford to Jones will be fine. I wonder about Carson

646
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: Wentz in this match up. I'm actually playing Carson went Yeah,

647
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what I was talking about. I think

648
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: in I think in deeper or sharper leagues, I think

649
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is is at least playable, especially against this

650
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: Detroit defense. Alright, how about versus running backs New Orleans?

651
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: We know trash, Washington bad, San Diego bad. Uh. Pittsburgh

652
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: is number eight, but they've given up the most receiving

653
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: yards to running backs they play the Jets. They've got

654
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: two pretty good pass catching running backs in Matt Fote

655
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: and Balow pal What do we make of that? I

656
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: mean we were kind of hitting at it before. Marcus

657
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: is sand he likes Balal Powell in this matchup, and

658
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: I think with the workload split we've been seeing out

659
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: of the two of them with Powell seeing more touches

660
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: the last two weeks than he had the first two

661
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: weeks and also outproducing Forte on those touches as well.

662
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: It could be a decent game to play him and

663
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: like a flex in a PPR. Like I still worry

664
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: a bit about his volume right now, but like in

665
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: this kind of game where especially we figured the Jets

666
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: to be down, that turns into a Powell favorable game script,

667
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't be surprised that if they keep

668
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Matt Forte in that role and still use him as

669
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: a pass catching guy, because I mean, he's still saying

670
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna ignore him, but he's also banged up. I

671
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: think they'll probably try to play fourte out wide, to

672
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because of Decker and Decker's injury,

673
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: his injury when Marshall right, whether he actually played or not.

674
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: And you know, they we always talk about how the

675
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Jets love to play multiple receiver sets, but they don't

676
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of receivers. Oh my gosh, is this

677
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna be an his j game? No, not even a thing.

678
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: But but Fote is taken seven percent of his of

679
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: his snaps from the slot this year, so I mean

680
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: that's the thing. We could see six snaps out wide

681
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: as well, so that could be something we see more

682
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: in this game. All right, there you go. How about

683
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: versus wide receivers, Tampa Bay the softest. They're giving up

684
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: a whopping thirty two Fantasy point per game. They don't

685
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: have because keep in mind they also played the Rams Man. Yeah,

686
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean I got roasted. You know, that's another point

687
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: like looking for context and f PA is like, who

688
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: have they played? But then when you see like, oh, yeah,

689
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: that's that's not good. That's not great, Bob, Right, It'd

690
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: be one thing if it's the Steelers and you're like,

691
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: oh man, they faced Antonio brown Man, that's right now, yeah, right,

692
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: like some teams like, oh they ranked thirty second in

693
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: f P A, well, they've played A J. Green, you know,

694
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre brown Will no kidding. But then you're giving up

695
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: TDS to Brian Quick. Well then okay, so they played

696
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Carolina Monday. What are we make of the pass catchers?

697
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: They're huge, Calvin Benjamin all all the Calvin Benjamin even

698
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: with Derick Anderson all the Kelvin benjam Is this a

699
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: sneaky ted gain play? Could be? Why not yeah, getting

700
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: beat over the top. We're seeing it. Yeah, I mean yeah,

701
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think this will end up

702
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: being the Benjamin v. Mike Evans Show on Monday Night.

703
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: Evan bit, I think it's gonna go off. That's gonna

704
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: be good. Oakland is right there as we know about.

705
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: But third, surprisingly to me anyways, green Bay they give

706
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: up thirty points per game to the wide receivers. I'll

707
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: go to the resident Green Bay guy, Alex Gillhard, what

708
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: do you make of that? Well, teams can't run against

709
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: the Packers now and and and you think about it too.

710
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: In two of the three games the Packers played, they

711
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: got up by a decent margin, so that forces teams

712
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: to pass against them a lot. Sam Shields has been

713
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: out with a concussion for two of the weeks. It's

714
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: going to be out again, so dance. They've played them.

715
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: They've also played some good receivers. They played Allen Robinson,

716
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, and Marvin Jones, who combined went for twenty

717
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: one catches for four fifty nine yards and three touchdowns

718
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: against Holy Hell. Yeah. Damarius Randall did a pretty good

719
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: job against Allen Robinson a week one, but he allowed

720
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: a perfect passer rating to Diggs and Jones and back

721
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: to back weeks. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like you mentioned,

722
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot of it is because and you see this

723
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: with some defensive Tampa Bay is another one, like because

724
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: you can't run on them, you just pick on them

725
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: on the past against the past, and Sam Shields playing

726
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: this weekend is not I do think that that will

727
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: make a difference. Yeah, that should help. Well, they're playing

728
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: New York. Is this a big time O b J game? Yeah?

729
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean when you asked us what spoiler when we

730
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: get into the matchups, just to kind of have one

731
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: thing we talked about, I was wondering if Beckham is

732
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: going to break the single scene, single game receiving record

733
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: against the Packers. You're looking at everything is slotting up

734
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, there's all the talk about

735
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: him in the media right now, the oh his emotions

736
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: back on Sunday Night Football, Like, can we talk real

737
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200

00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: I feel like he's two weeks away from doing you know,

740
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: shirtless sit ups in his driveway. He does like man

741
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: TiO was great. No, Tito was great. I'm just saying,

742
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, remember the way he ended as Philadelphia rain

743
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: is like, I don't. I don't think here's the thing

744
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: because it's a you know, it's a new year. It's

745
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: in in Odell Beckham is his own man. Um. It

746
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: won't be shirtless sit ups. It'll be like a shirtless

747
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: you got serve dance routine on Instagram that can probably.

748
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's like we're seeing the tears on the sideline. Check.

749
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: Uh crazy rants check. I mean, like I said, I

750
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna pick up some barbells. Is just

751
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: start doing some ripping, some shirtless curls in the driveway.

752
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: Soon he's gonna be doing press conferences from the front lawn,

753
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: Like is Drew Rosenhouse's agent, because the next question, yeah,

754
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: I know, next question, I don't. I'm just I'm worried.

755
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: That's all alright. Minnesota. By the way, in the in

756
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: regards to FPA versus wide receivers, Minnesota and Houston are

757
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: the second and third toughest versus wide receivers. Guess what

758
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: they play each other. I'm not starting like anybody in

759
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: that game. If I can help it, that's a scary matchup.

760
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. I mean, even if you're

761
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: a d hop guy, who I mean, I know I wouldn't.

762
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: I used him in my PPR Dynasty League this week.

763
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: I've got a good other other good wide receivers. But

764
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: like I mean, I was just like, I can't run

765
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: that risk. It's gonna be a low scoring affair. Feels

766
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be of course that in this game

767
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be thirty one to thirty six. There you go.

768
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: FBA versus tight Ends a t L Detroit Terrible versus

769
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: tight Ends Carolina is the fourth easiest, though they play

770
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Is it time to make America break again?

771
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: It is? Yeah? You hear that that. Yeah, I've had

772
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: to concede on this one because I really fought against it.

773
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: But I've got a conceit. Yeah, that's he's that dude.

774
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Now he's the guy in Tampa. So well, they don't

775
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: have really any other receivers. That's the big things pretty much.

776
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and dare you slander Adam Humphries? Uh whatever? Yeah, So,

777
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean they've allowed four touchdowns to tight ends, eighteen catches,

778
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: two d fifty four yards. And I mean right now,

779
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: their safety position is week their cornerback position is week two.

780
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: But Braid has pretty much been the guy in the

781
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: red zone since a s J ton of targets. Yeah,

782
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: I think he's had six targets in the red zone

783
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: in just the last two games. Beautiful. So I mean

784
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: that's where And really, if you if you're playing like

785
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: a non stud tight end, you're basically like, geez, just

786
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: catch touchdowns. And I think Cleveland has given up the

787
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: third most yards to the tight end position they play.

788
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady coming back and Rob Grondkowski, you mean, okay,

789
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: don't I mean, I'm excited there, But this is one

790
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: of the cases where like, and I saw a lot

791
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: of people chirping on this on Twitter, and it makes sense.

792
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: They were like they were using these last two weeks

793
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: as a r This isn't don't start your studs are like,

794
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: this is against that kind of analysis. But like the

795
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: first week, we had no idea what was going to

796
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: happen with Gronk, and then more you know, came out

797
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: in the second week. He played a lot more snaps.

798
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: But if anybody before that game was going to tell

799
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: you that he was only gonna run thirteen pass patterns

800
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: on his play one snaps. They're like fooling themselves at

801
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: this point, I think we have to scale back, like

802
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: the one league. I have Gronkin. He's on my bench

803
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: right now because you just can't play him until he's healthy.

804
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: There've been numerous supports, Mike Garafolo on Good Morning Football

805
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: other things, talking about how his hamstrings not writing stuff

806
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: like that. So we just have to read what you

807
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: know the Patriots are giving us, which is admittedly never much,

808
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: and sit Gronk for now. But it's a good game

809
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: from Martelli Spennett, that's for sure. I love the fact

810
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: that New England Patriot fans too. It's because the team

811
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: gives you no info and they give you so much misinformation.

812
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: There's no fan base that has more truthers in it Patriots.

813
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: They come up with so many conspiracy It's something I

814
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Have you read the Jazz con that's true,

815
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: because I think Packer fans might be pretty crazy. They

816
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: just your fan base seems to just tilt so hard.

817
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: And you know what the common denominator is between these

818
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: two franchises. Privilege. Oh yeah, just all privilege, like exactly

819
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: like oh hey, you guys want a bunch of super bowls? Great,

820
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: good for there are plenty of Packer fans included that

821
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: are able to keep it on the level. But like

822
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, No, I honestly only know like that

823
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: I can remember because I wasn't watching football when I

824
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: was two, But like I only can remember, like to

825
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: lose two or three losing seasons, and in my lifetime,

826
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: and those of us who have been beaten, you know,

827
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: happiness out of us or just or just never expect

828
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: good things. Your your team goes to the super Bowl

829
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: one year and then the next year you're sitting in

830
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: a podcast you're talking about how they're gonna be one

831
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: in fifteen because that's life. Embrace sadness. Oh man, Okay,

832
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, Marty, Marty be great, great party. Yeah. I

833
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: think he's a solid play. But the thing about Cronk

834
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: is like, would anybody be surprised if it's like two

835
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: catches for on three targets for two touch touchdowns. No,

836
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: not at all. One. Before we move on from these

837
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: tight ends, don't sleep on zach Ertz. He's coming back.

838
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: This coming back Detroit to start your tight ends against

839
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: the Lions. State they're missing players in the in the

840
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: middle of their field with DeAndre Levy out, Like this

841
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: could be a big game for zach ERT's coming back.

842
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I'm with you on I'm just saying,

843
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: like with four teams on by, like four good tight

844
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: ends Kelsey Jimmy Graham had for big Kolbe Fleaner, Like

845
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: if you that's why I said, God for bid Kobe Fleaner,

846
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: if you need a tight end. Zach Ertz could have

847
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: been dropped because he was out for like three straight weeks. Yeah,

848
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: they've allowed five touchdowns most in the NFL. There it's

849
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: only been twenty catches against them. And my only problem

850
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: with that is, like the one thing zach Ertz is

851
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: not good at his scoring touchdowns. He's never been a

852
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: good red zone player and he's never been a big

853
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: touchdown score even going back to Stanford. Uh so he's

854
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to rip him up for yardage, which is

855
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: certainly possible to oh man, All right, let's get into

856
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: the deep sleeper, shall we. You mentioned it's Saints, Jags, Seahawks,

857
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: and Kansas City all on buys. Good players on those teams. Yeah,

858
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: it's Friday, So the waiver wires has already run. Um.

859
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: There are some desperate owners out there though, with the

860
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: bye weeks and especially all these injuries that have begun

861
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 1: to pile up as well as we go into week five.

862
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: So let's talk about deep sleepers. I want to go

863
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: around the horn. Can you guys give me one deep

864
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: sleeper that most owners can go out and get on

865
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: the waiver wire right now and play, not put on

866
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: the bench, but play on Sunday. Alex Galhard will start

867
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: with you well mine. We talked about, uh this other

868
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: player on Monday's podcast, Eddie Royal. He's kind of in

869
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: quietly arey efficient for the Bears, and with Kevin White

870
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: landing on, I are assumed Eddie Royal was gonna step

871
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: up and make play a bigger part in the offense.

872
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: Edwell hasn't practiced all week. It doesn't look like he's

873
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: gonna be practice today on Friday either. He's probably not

874
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna play, which means that opens the door for Cameron

875
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Meredith to come in and play as a camera Meredith.

876
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: I love it. It's like their third wide receiver. He

877
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: played twenty six snaps last week. It was the most

878
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: he's played this year. Nineteen of them came in the

879
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: second half after Kevin White went down. I think he

880
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: played all seventeen after after White. Yeah, like the seventeen

881
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: snaps after White went down, he played all of them.

882
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: That would make sense. He caught only caught four of

883
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: his five targets for twenty eight yards. But like, they're

884
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna need somebody else in this offense. It's they're playing

885
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: a bad secondary. If Fante Davis does shadow alshon, Jeffrey

886
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: Meredith is gonna get the more favorable matchups. He's a

887
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: guy that is literally owned in like zero percent of leagues.

888
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: I actually just had to add him in a deeper

889
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: PPR league is probably playing him this weekend. But he's tall. Yeah,

890
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: if I remember it, he's he's like six three or

891
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: something like. Oh, that's not bad. I thought we were

892
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: talking about like five ten position. Now. No, no, let's

893
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: kind of give you some specs on Cameron Meredith. He

894
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: he is six three two oh one. Uh and where

895
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: did he go to school? Illinois State. Also, he's the

896
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: kid the red Birds red Birds but undrafted. Undrafted on it.

897
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: He's he's barely played. He was one of those guys

898
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: who was randomly catching touchdowns last year for the Bears.

899
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: Like when you're like, who like that helps no one

900
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: kind of player. But I'm telling you what this could be.

901
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,959
Speaker 1: It this could be a higher scoring game with two

902
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: defenses and came ameridth could see plenty of targets. I

903
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: like it. There you go, uh m, j might got

904
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Marcus grab give me one. You're gonna like this, James,

905
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: because you're on this dude a couple of weeks ago.

906
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: Cj Us sorry you, Zama, I believe is the actual

907
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: proper pronunciation. It was because I was really excited about

908
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: Tyler If coming back this week, and we talked about

909
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit earlier. We're gonna have to wait

910
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: at least one more week for him to come back.

911
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: But Dallas has not been good against tight ends. And

912
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about f p A, so cover

913
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: year is Matt Harmon and I'm wearing headphones bad. But

914
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: the one thing that is undeniable the Cowboys have given

915
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: up seven red zone touchdowns to tight ends, which is

916
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: more than any other team in the league. Usama is

917
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: not going to be a guy who gets a ton

918
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: of targets all over the field, but we've seen how

919
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: badly the Bengals have struggled in the red zone. I

920
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: mean they obviously miss effort there, but why not maybe

921
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: light up Usama with a couple of targets when you

922
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: get down around the five yard line and see what

923
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: he can do. Um, he has red zone targets. He's

924
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: got red zone targets. They have tried to get him

925
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: the ball there as it hasn't has quite worked. They

926
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: have tried, he has not been willing. I still think

927
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, as the catch expert, I'm using

928
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: huge air quotes because I am always wrong on catch rulings.

929
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I will never forget last year when

930
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: Backham touchdown, when you're like, guys, it's a catch, and

931
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: just like such a such a confident to catch, it's

932
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: a catch. And I'm like, you don't know, dude, Stop

933
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: you're making an ass of yourself. You don't Oh and

934
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: sure enough not a cat. I mean it was just

935
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: based off of all the other rulings we've seen similar

936
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: ones that had happened, like, we're not gonna get that,

937
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: but he was the money. He has four red zone

938
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: targets in uh in the three games, or maybe if

939
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's playing all four you he has playing all

940
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: four he has four red zone targets, two inside the ten.

941
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: One of them was a touchdown at least in my eyes.

942
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: But well, hey, it's possible. It is possible, man Harm,

943
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: give me a deep sleeper. Yeah. So this is kind

944
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: of a leverage play off of the fact that the

945
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: lines are so bad at covering tight ends. I kind

946
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: of like Doyle Green, Belt Beckham, and Nelson Aglar. This week,

947
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: the Lions rank thirty second in past defense dv o

948
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: A from Football Outsiders. They ranked twenty second at defending

949
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers, twenty second at defending number two

950
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and thirty second in defending all the other

951
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Whatever that means. But uh, Doyle Green Beckham,

952
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: they said that, uh, to quote Doug Peterson exactly, his

953
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: package is growing this week, which is phrasing. Yeah, but

954
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: if he's gonna get more playing time, I think that

955
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: that could be interesting. He's recorded his yards in the

956
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: slot where so he's kind of splitting time with Jordan

957
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Matthews there, who we know is playing more outside. So

958
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna run some slots or some slot routes against

959
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: those kind of coverage safeties and linebackers that have been

960
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: giving up a lot of production to tight ends in

961
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. Wouldn't chuck me if he scores his

962
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: first touchdown as an Eagle. I like that kind of play.

963
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: Nelson Aglar obviously has played a lot of snaps. It'll

964
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: be interesting to see who he draws coverage from, because

965
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Matthews should not probably not won't get will not get

966
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: shadowed by Darius Slay, who's their best corner. But if

967
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: he draws any of Nevin Levin Lawson, then I think

968
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: I can get over too. I think Jordan Matthew is

969
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: gonna have a big day. By the way, Yeah, I

970
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: think so too. I mean, I think that the obvious

971
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: plays are Art and Matthews in this game. But if

972
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: you're looking for some desperation plays, I think that these

973
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: two guys could be that. All right, I'll give you one.

974
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: How about Marky's good one there for the Buffalo Bills

975
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: widely available. He is super fast, he ran like a four.

976
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: He's a he's a legit Olympian. He he was in

977
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: the US Olympic team. So the guys u a great athlete.

978
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about the rams. They have given

979
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: up a lot of receiving yards I think the third

980
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: most too wide receivers. And not only that, they're also

981
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: prone uh to the big play. They've given up a

982
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine yard pass uh in every single game, or

983
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: more twenty nine yards or more pass uh too in

984
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: every single game. And it's always too like the secondary receiver.

985
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: It was like Tyler Lockett, Adam Humphreys, guys that are

986
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: not necessarily their number ones. So they're giving up long

987
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: plays there. Well geez, I mean that fits all the

988
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,479
Speaker 1: profiles of Marky's good when he likes to go deep.

989
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: He's a secondary wide receiver. And I also think about

990
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: what the Bills like to do offensively, Tyrod Taylor in particular,

991
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: he likes to go deep. I think it's I think

992
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: it's at least an interesting play. Again, he's not gonna

993
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: get a ton of volume. I mean, I would imagine

994
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna see you know, five targets at most in

995
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: this ball game. But if he can convert two or

996
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: three of them, you can expect a huge day. Um,

997
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: he's one of these deep sleepers. I have him in

998
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: the danger zone. Uh. So again, you know this is

999
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: for those folks who are in super deep leagues and

1000
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: desperate for a place. I like that called no team

1001
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: has been targeted by wide receivers more than the l

1002
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: A rams A hundred fifteen leads the NFL third most

1003
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: receiving yards allowed receivers to boom, there you go. He

1004
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: has seen five targets in each of the last three games. Too.

1005
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: He's only caught four of those fifteen. But as we

1006
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: saw against the Jets, two for one twelve in a touch.

1007
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: So all you need is one of those two loves

1008
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: you to get your twelve points or whatever. That's rob

1009
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: Woods is a good play to targets last two. Absolutely,

1010
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's do E D G every damn game.

1011
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna go around the horn, and I want you

1012
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: guys to give me one player one interesting stat that

1013
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: you guys are watching in these particular games. We shall

1014
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: start with Matt Harmon Texans versus the Vikings. Yeah, we

1015
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: mentioned that this is a game where we don't think

1016
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of points scored. Uh. Xavier

1017
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: Rhodes returned in week three, and since then they have

1018
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: allowed twenty three yards to Calvin Benjamin and Odell Beckham.

1019
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: Because Benjamin didn't catch any and Beckham call it twenty three. Uh,

1020
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: he only shadowed Beckham, though he did not shadow Calvin Benjamin.

1021
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: And going back is from next Gen's stats, going back

1022
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: to the last five times that Xavier Rhodes has shadowed

1023
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: to wide top wide receiver over the last uh two years.

1024
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: Twenty seven yards to Calvin Johnson in two thousand fifteen,

1025
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, to Tomarius Thomas in two thousand fifteen,

1026
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: forty yards again to Calvin Johnson in two thousand fifteen,

1027
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones twenty six yards, and then Odell Beckham obviously

1028
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: the twenty three yards last last week and only one

1029
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: touchdown allowed to that entire group. So it'll be important

1030
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: to monitor who Rhads is going to play. Is he

1031
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna shadow one of these guys? And you know, wouldn't

1032
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: even shock me if he ends up shadowing Will Fuller

1033
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: and leaves DeAndre Hopkins to the secondary corner and maybe

1034
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: they bracket him or something. I really want to just

1035
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: kind of like go back and nerd out and watch

1036
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: like the coverage scheme there, because it's a really interesting

1037
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: proposition because right now I have a feeling teams are

1038
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: more afraid of what will Fuller can do with to

1039
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: them because no, like I think even Mike Zimmer said

1040
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: his speed is quote nerve rous, just can say he.

1041
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: Zimmer actually called out Fuller in a press conference, not

1042
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 1: like a bad way, but was like he mentioned exactly,

1043
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: speed was nerve wracking. So you know Zimmer is going

1044
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: to be scheming against that. I mean, I don't particularly

1045
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: want to play Hopkins or Fuller. I mean we know

1046
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: that Fuller has the game breaking ability if you need

1047
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: to throw him out there, you just need upside like

1048
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: go for it. But Rhodes has been just bawling out

1049
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: since he returned this year, along with his entire defense.

1050
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: Crazy he's been injured. I mean, it's nuts. Bears A Cults, MG,

1051
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: what you got. I'm looking at Briant Hoyer. I mean

1052
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: last week, I think we all thought he was a

1053
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: sleeper and he had a really nice game. I think

1054
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: this week Franchise mentioned the Colts opting to not take

1055
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: the bye after playing in London, which is a little

1056
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: bit of a head scratcher to me, and now having

1057
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: to go back home and deal with time zones and

1058
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: all those stuff. Uh. Hoyer actually just two starts has

1059
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: been over three hundred yards and had two touchdowns and

1060
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: each of those two starts. I don't see why he

1061
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: can't do it again. The only concern the Colts could

1062
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: be getting Vante Davis back this week, which will actually

1063
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: be an upgrade to their what is off was an awful,

1064
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: awful defense. But uh, Vonte Davis can't cover everybody, So

1065
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think Brian Hoyer is another guy. You know,

1066
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: you talked about the Harmon Anderson being maybe the tops

1067
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: streaming quarterback. I don't know that Brian Hoyer's too far

1068
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: behind him that this week. Please God, let this be

1069
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: a high scoring game. Jets at Steelers, Alex, what you got?

1070
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: The big thing for me in this game is Sammy Coates.

1071
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: Looking at that matchup, the Jets are one of the

1072
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: worst secondaries of giving up big plays. They lead the

1073
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: league with seven receptions allowed of forty plus yards, are

1074
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: tied for second in receptions of twenty plus yards with seventeen.

1075
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: Marquis or sam Sammy Coates excuse me, on the flip side,

1076
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: leads the lady with five catches of forty plus yards.

1077
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: He's thirds and yards per third yards perception, behind only

1078
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and Kenny Stills have guys with twenty plus targets,

1079
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: and on the Steelers offense, he's played the second most

1080
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: snap at wide receiver. We've talked about it numerous times

1081
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: on here, how but they've been looking for like an

1082
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: athletic big play threat that they lack with Martavis Bryant

1083
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: Ladarius Screen out right. I really think this could be

1084
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: a chance where they target Sammy Coats a lot. I

1085
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: know West was saying in the preview of this game

1086
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: on the A t M podcast that Big Ben is

1087
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: one of the most most like frequent quarterbacks that when

1088
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: he's looking through his progressions and it's touchdown, first down,

1089
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: checked down, he's always throwing touchdown and at home where

1090
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: Ben is great, I think this could be a huge

1091
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 1: Sammy Coats game. All Right, Titans at Dolphins. Matt Harmon, Yeah,

1092
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: this one is interesting to me. I think it's a

1093
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: good spot for the Dolphins passing games. Stop, it's not

1094
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: interesting to you, you know that? Okay? Well, I don't

1095
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: mean interesting and like I want to watch, but I

1096
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: think but it's no Actually me shut up for a second,

1097
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: uh my drop because I think like that, while it

1098
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: is not an interesting football game, the slightest. I think

1099
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: there are some things that could matter for fantasy. You know,

1100
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: the Titans defense is hashtag bad. We know that their

1101
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: past defense, especially uh, not very good Jarvis Lander, and

1102
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: I think, of course is in line for a pretty

1103
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: good game. He actually has double digit targets in the

1104
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: last eight games he's played, and that that might be

1105
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: the longest streak in the NFL right now. I know

1106
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: several other big name receivers have have not made that,

1107
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 1: but also DeVante Parker interesting to me in this game.

1108
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: He plays primarily at the right wide receiver position. Of

1109
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: his snaps this year have come from that spot. He's

1110
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: gonna play against very burnable corner Parish Cox, who, while

1111
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: he has two interceptions on the year, quarterbacks have targeted

1112
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: Cox on percent of his coverage attempts. He's allowed eighteen

1113
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: catches for two yards and two touchdowns thus far. Let's

1114
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: not forget they've they've targeted him with truck sticks in

1115
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: the open filture. Matt Stafford also did truck him in

1116
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: the Stafford Matt Stafford took his soul. But yeah, I mean,

1117
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: I think Cox is like a playmaking corner, but at

1118
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: the same time, definitely burnable. This could be a really

1119
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: big DeVante Parker game. If you're looking for like a

1120
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: sleeper flex option, I think this is a solid one

1121
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: real quick. Yeah, there's been a lot of talk about

1122
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: how the Dolphins second, which isn't great, has been burned

1123
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: by number one wide receivers. But am I wrong in

1124
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: feeling like Sharp is kind of a stretch to to

1125
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: keep that going? Yeah? I know that. I mean I've

1126
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: just heard some talk that, hey, maybe you give Taj

1127
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: Sharp a look this week because the Dolphins have been

1128
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: bad against number one receivers. I just I just don't

1129
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: feel like he's that guy. Parker spot is broken right

1130
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: now too. I'm not gonna trust anybody exactly. Sharp's a

1131
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: nice players. That Delaney Walker. I can trust anyone. It's

1132
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna be another big time I'm out trade Delaney Walker

1133
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: in the desk lea. You're in the desk lea right,

1134
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: all right? We need to talk trade after this week

1135
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: is over. At Lions, MG might got Mark scrat We

1136
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: mentioned the name before, but I'm looking at Jordan Matthews.

1137
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: I think he has a really big week. Part of

1138
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: it is that the Lions have given up thirteen red

1139
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: zone touchdowns to wide receivers that is the most in

1140
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: the league. And just Jordan Matthews and Carson Wentz seemed

1141
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: to be working really well together. They have a really

1142
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: great rapport. Um. You know, I think I think we

1143
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: underrated Jorge Matthews because he was mediocre last year and

1144
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: then you had the rookie quarterback that we didn't know

1145
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: anything about really, but he has certainly exceeded expectations and

1146
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 1: I expect him to play well again this week Pats

1147
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: at Cleveland. Whiz Kid. Uh. The biggest thing for me

1148
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 1: is how the passing distribution is going to shake out

1149
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: now that Brady is there, especially with Gronk banged up.

1150
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: We know Edelman is a favorite of his, like this

1151
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 1: good stat from Adam Levitan on Twitter. In Edelman's last

1152
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: sixteen games with Brady, He's seen a hundred and seventies,

1153
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: six targets, a hundred nineteen catches yards, and ten touchdowns.

1154
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 1: So is this entire passing office is gonna start funneling

1155
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: from him? As Franchise hinted that could we see some

1156
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: James White. I don't know yet, Like I'm assuming it's

1157
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: going to morph back into the short passing game. Of

1158
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: the sticks that they've always had. But it's a Daniel

1159
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: Jeremiah game. They've got, They've got Chris Harry, They've got

1160
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan there now seven eleven, Like Martella Spennett. I'm

1161
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: just I don't know how it's gonna shake out. Edelman.

1162
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: I feel great about starting him this week, got him

1163
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: ranked pretty highly. But that's what I be watching, and

1164
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: I think we could learn a lot from moving forward

1165
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: to seeing how the offense operates at Brady back under center.

1166
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: I will say this. You know our researcher, Evan Lazar,

1167
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: he wrote an awesome piece talking about how quarterbacks in

1168
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: their eighteen season fall off a cliff and uh, there's

1169
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady right there. Tom Brady right there, So I'll

1170
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: be interesting. Can you keep can you keep it up?

1171
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: It's in the Boston Herald, It's in the bottom if

1172
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: anybody wants to look at it, right I got I

1173
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: gotta read that one still, and it makes sense. But

1174
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: I think the New England has been They're smart enough

1175
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: whe they've been planning for that for years, which is

1176
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: why they've built this short passing game around Brady. Like

1177
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, Manning last year in Denver didn't have this

1178
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: kind of offense or these kind of players to work

1179
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: with when he was falling off a cliff, and neither

1180
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: did far in Minnesota. So they're gonna be very interesting

1181
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: to watch though. Alright, gosh, I lost my place. Where

1182
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: am I here? Washington at Baltimore. Now this game actually

1183
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: really interested me from both the real life perspective and

1184
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective because we've got Terence West starting

1185
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: running back. Washington allows the highest yards per carry, most yards,

1186
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: and I think the most touchdowns to League A running backs.

1187
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: They do not defend the run. Well, your future Hall

1188
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: of Famer Kenneth Dixon is questionable for this game. The

1189
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: uh the coaching staff has even said, despite what every

1190
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: idiot on Fantasy Twitter wants to think that, they have said,

1191
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: they will ease him in. So West I think is

1192
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: an RB. One play this week would not surprise me

1193
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: if he scores, you know, inside the top ten at all.

1194
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: Another guy wouldn't surprise me if he scores in the

1195
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: top tend of his position to Sean Jackson. Yeah, body

1196
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: one catch for five yards last week against Cleveland. People

1197
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: are going to be burned on that, But I think

1198
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: you throw him right back out there he plays of

1199
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: his snaps at right wide receiver. He's gonna go against

1200
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: Charisse Wright, who has been the worst cornerback in the

1201
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: NFL so far in hell got statement well in one hundred.

1202
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: Let me throw some Let me throw some numbers for

1203
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: you to look at. James one fifteen coverage attempts, targeted

1204
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine times through four weeks. He's allowing sixteen catches

1205
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: for two hundred and two yards and a whopping five touchdowns.

1206
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks have a one sixteen point seven pass rating when

1207
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: targeting right. This right has just been pummeled this week

1208
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: in fantasy ride ups and podcasts and other things. Too

1209
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: says we got smoked by Michael Crabtree a few times

1210
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: last week. Byah, I mean, it's it's one of those

1211
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: things where like they have Jimmy Smith on the other side,

1212
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,479
Speaker 1: they don't really shout, Like Jimmy Smith doesn't shadow top

1213
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: receivers right, It's like you just thump this other guy

1214
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: who's the clear weak link on the team. Uh In

1215
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore is another team that has a pretty good run defense.

1216
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: So I think that this is a week where Jackson,

1217
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: who caught his loan touchdown of the season from the

1218
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: right side of the field. I think this is where

1219
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: you play, because right is a trojan. I wasn't gonna

1220
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: bring that up, Sean Jackson. Cal there, let's go a

1221
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: t L at Denver. Tevin Coleman is supposed to play.

1222
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: Probably not, though, come on, mccleman, don't play, buddy, I

1223
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: know you listen to this podcast. Tevin Coleman, I don't play.

1224
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: But the word around the campfires that he may play,

1225
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: but he will get a reduced workload in this one. Um.

1226
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: There are a couple of things I'm actually looking at here. One. Uh.

1227
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: First off, this is very much I think a statement

1228
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: game for the Falcons, at least offensively, to see if

1229
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: they are as good as we've seen from them in

1230
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: the first few weeks and were exactly Um. But I think, honestly,

1231
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: the key piece for the Falcons I think on Sunday

1232
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: is not Matt Ryan, It's not Julio Jones. It's probably

1233
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Devonte Freeman. Because the Falcons have run a league leading

1234
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: they run play action on the league leading thirty of

1235
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: their past plays. That's according to to football outsiders. They

1236
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: can't do that. I mean they're they're running those plays

1237
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: for all about eleven and a half yards per play.

1238
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: They can't do that if they can't run the football.

1239
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: So Devonte Freeman is going to have to try to

1240
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: establish something early that will allow Matt Ryan to get

1241
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: into that play action hopefully kind of freeze that pass

1242
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: rush a little bit, slow Von Miller down just a

1243
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: tad and then you can get the ball downfield to

1244
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and whoever else. The other guy I'm really

1245
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on offensively for the Falcons is Mohammed

1246
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: sanu Um. He's a you know, kind of a bigger

1247
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: body guy at six to plays a lot in the

1248
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: slot and could potentially line up on Bradley Roby and

1249
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: potentially someone on one matchups. And Roby has struggled a

1250
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: little bit against some bigger bodied receivers working out of

1251
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: the slot. So if that's a potential matchup there, I

1252
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: think that's one that the Facons might be able to

1253
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: win every so often. I just I feel like the

1254
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: range of outcomes for Matt Ryan. Um, you know, there's

1255
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: there's the very real potential of a very low number,

1256
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: but if things work out, I mean, there's the potential

1257
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: that maybe he surprises you and puts up a twenty spot.

1258
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is gonna be a high scoring game.

1259
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: I think it can be. I think it can be too.

1260
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Bengals at Cowboys, Whiz what's up? I think the big

1261
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: thing to watch here is what is going to go

1262
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: on with the Bengals ground game. Dallas, and this is

1263
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: another case where FBA can be misleading. Is very good

1264
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: against the run on fp A, but if you look

1265
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: at it, they've only had sixty eight rush attempts against

1266
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: them because they play, as we've talked about on here,

1267
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: a ton such a slow brand of football that other

1268
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: teams don't, you know, don't run against them as often

1269
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: because it takes their own time off the clock. But

1270
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: even though only at six eight rush attempts, they're still

1271
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: averaging are allowing four point eight five yards per carry.

1272
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: That's the fourth highest figure in the league. Their front

1273
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: seven is still kind of missing a few pieces. They

1274
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: get to Marcus Lawrence back, but it's not They've got

1275
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: so many people on suspension and injury and stuff like

1276
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: that that this could kind of be a game for

1277
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati offense to get right and feed Jeremy Hill

1278
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: and try and get that offensive line going. So that's

1279
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: what I think. This could be a sneaky good game

1280
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: to play Hill. And as we mentioned, there's still so

1281
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: bad in the red zone. They're not getting Tyler Eiffert back.

1282
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill if they get close to that goal line

1283
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: is their best threat after a j Green. So it

1284
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: could be a solid bounce back game for Hill and

1285
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati running game. Chargers at Raiders could possibly be

1286
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the high scoring game of the weekend. Matt Harmon what

1287
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: you got it could be. And just so you know

1288
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: everybody knows, Davis Murray's officially been declared out the recording

1289
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: this um I want to talk about kind of like

1290
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: not even related the game. I want to talk about

1291
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,479
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon real quick. There's been a lot of talk

1292
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter about, you know, Melvin Gordon's yards per carryer

1293
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: are low. A lot of people made the point if well,

1294
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's leads the league in red zone rush

1295
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: attempts going into Week five, maybe that's contributed to it.

1296
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I looked at it this this morning. At the numbers

1297
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I did. I looked at the numbers, did the math

1298
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: per the results, Gordon has fifty rushes outside of the

1299
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: red zone for a hundred and yards no touchdowns obviously

1300
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: because those have all been goal line touchdowns. He averages

1301
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: three point six two yards per carry when not in

1302
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: the red zone. So I think that's kind of a

1303
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: done narrative. I think Melvin Gord is just not good.

1304
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: The question is, I mean, I don't think he's a

1305
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: good running back. I think he gets a lot of volume,

1306
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: which is nice. So and the volume should probably still

1307
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: be there, um, but I still think it might be.

1308
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna keepe up for Melvin gorgon, Baby,

1309
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: how much is it impacted by who's not there? I

1310
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: mean it totally might be. I just think like if

1311
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: even if you just watch him play, it's been kind

1312
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: of like on like not super impressive. My point is,

1313
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: if you can sell him for top five running back prices,

1314
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: I think that's great interest, Like I've heard I've even

1315
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: heard some people tell selling him for top wide receivers,

1316
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's ideal. The thing is, like, the

1317
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: volume is not gonna go anywhere. I think Gordon would

1318
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: have to like what's a good price? Like, are we

1319
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: talking like Marvin Jones? I would sell Gordon for Jones.

1320
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I would take Marvin Jones and Hartbeat But I'm saying, well,

1321
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean roster construction everything, but wow, that's yeah. I

1322
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: mean if you could get somebody like like just to

1323
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: even any receiver that you think is reasonably going to

1324
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: be a top twelve receiver, I would take them over Gordon.

1325
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to throw up all over

1326
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: his shoes to not be like a top fifteen running

1327
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: back just because the volume is not going anywhere. That's

1328
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: the thing. Like you can say, well, he's pumped up

1329
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: by volume, which is fine, Like we don't really care

1330
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: about that in fantasy, like as long as he's getting

1331
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: points and those are going to continue to come. But

1332
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: if the touchdowns go away, that's the worry is he's

1333
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: still gonna be able to crank out, you know, like

1334
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: an eight point game because he gets to eighty yards

1335
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: on fifteen carries. And I could see this being a

1336
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: game script where he gets blotted out of the game

1337
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: because Oakland is so bad at defending the past. If

1338
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: they just go pass heavy in San Diego and he

1339
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: doesn't score touchdown, you could be looking at a fifteen

1340
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: carry for thirty five yard game. It's also my McCoy

1341
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: so he probably won't do that. Mike McCoy is it's

1342
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: not that great San Diego, Like just I feel like

1343
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: they have an art for blowing games. I mean, you know,

1344
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: they love to lose games in the four. People give

1345
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: the Browns a hard time for how they lose games.

1346
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: But man, the Chargers, man, they ripped the hearts out

1347
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: of their fans. As somebody who doesn't care about anything,

1348
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: and especially doesn't care about the Chargers like a lot

1349
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: of times on Sundays, like I'll be watching them be like, man,

1350
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: they're winning nice like the Saints week three or week four,

1351
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: and then in week one two the same thing, like

1352
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: over the Chiefs from like and then all of a sudden,

1353
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: I look back at was I'm like doing the box

1354
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: scores for the opportunity for port like wait, they lost

1355
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: that game? How the hell did that happen? This was

1356
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: a fun stat from Adam Ranks like dislike this week,

1357
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: because you guys can read at NFL dot com slash

1358
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: like dislike. The Chargers are one in two the season

1359
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: when leading by more than thirteen points in the fourth quarter.

1360
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: That's the rest of the NFL is twenty eight. No

1361
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: in the same situation, Yeah, that's an arts like you

1362
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: have to aspire to be that bad. I think Mike

1363
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: McCoy will get has because of all the injuries this year.

1364
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: But didn't that happen last year? Man? Like no, I

1365
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: just you gotta make a change. I don't know. They

1366
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: a change training and conditioning, right, Like that's maybe that's

1367
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: crazy happen three of their best, like three their most

1368
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: important players, Danny Woodhead, Keenan Allen, and Jason Bretton. Also

1369
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: man Tityo are heard like that. I mean, that is

1370
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: either your snake bitten or something's going on Amari Cooper.

1371
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: All the points I believe in this ball game is

1372
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I think I think Cooper could have a big game.

1373
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: He's he's a good contrarian playing DFS. Everybody's of the

1374
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: people are off of him. He hasn't scored a touchdown yet,

1375
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: but he's been closed to bills at l A from

1376
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: the l A Memorial Coliseum, the former home of Marcus Grant.

1377
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: I lived there, Yeah you live. You lived there on

1378
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Saturday's Bell I did for for about four years. Um,

1379
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: so this is gonna sound weird, but Kenny Britt, oh

1380
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: look look this and this is not like I'm not

1381
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: saying you need to go plug him in or go

1382
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: grab him off the waiver wire, but let's let's just

1383
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: let's just take a moment to recognize that he has

1384
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: been the best receiver on this team. And this is

1385
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: coming from a dude who spent the whole offseason hyping

1386
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: up Tavon Austin. We're not going to talk about that,

1387
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: right Kenny Britt has he has, he has. You know,

1388
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: he has leads the team in two one receiving yards.

1389
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any touchdowns, and that's kind of been

1390
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the difference. Brian Quick has three receiving touchdowns, but as

1391
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: we detailed on Monday in the podcast, two of them

1392
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: have come on busted plays where he just you know,

1393
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: catches the ball and runs unencumbered into the end zone.

1394
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt has been kind of the go to guy

1395
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: for case Keenum in this offense. He's been the downfield

1396
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 1: threat more than anybody else here. And against a Bills

1397
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: team that is probably gonna sell out to stop Todd

1398
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Gurley like every other defense before them, Uh, this could

1399
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: be another opportunity where Kenny Britt starts to make plays

1400
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: and eventually it gets to a point where you can't ignore.

1401
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not playing him every week, but you can't

1402
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: ignore him. And eventually he's gonna have to end up

1403
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: on rosters at some point. He's got to get into

1404
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the end zone too, right, I mean, if you see

1405
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it this much work, you know I would always think that.

1406
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: But you know, remember the Chief's bride receivers from a

1407
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Yeah, that's true. I thought you

1408
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,439
Speaker 1: were going to talk about Reggie Bush's first ever trip

1409
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: to the Colosseum. We don't. We don't acknowledge him in

1410
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: that building. Yeah, he's never been there the n A.

1411
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: Now Now look side story. I was, you know, at

1412
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: SC for a game last week. I walk through Heritage

1413
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Hall just because I enjoyed it doing that scene, you know,

1414
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: the trophies and stuff. Uh, the Heisman Trophy for one

1415
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Oriental James Simpson is still there. No, it's not. It

1416
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: is there? Is it? Really? It is there? That is ridiculous.

1417
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: But but we don't acknowledge Reggie Bush, who whose biggest

1418
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: crime was getting a house, right, which she probably deserved,

1419
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: so yeah, might have might whatever. That is unbelievable. Where

1420
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: are we giants at Packers? Of course we go to Alex,

1421
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: y'all hard for this one h And as I kind

1422
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: of teased earlier, my my thing I'm gonna be watching

1423
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: is does Odell Beckham sent a new record for rein

1424
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: because the Giants. This goes so many ways. Because first,

1425
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: for the Giants offense, like there's Sam Shields you mentioned,

1426
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: green Bay allows the leak worst sixteen point to six

1427
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: yards per reception to wide receivers and as we mentioned,

1428
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: receptions for four yards and three touchdowns through three games

1429
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: to opposing number one'es. They just don't have anybody that

1430
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: can match up with Odell by himself, So they're gonna

1431
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: have They're gonna have to try and brack it him

1432
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: the whole time, but they won't do that. He's gonna

1433
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: pop off for big plays. And on the flip side,

1434
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: if you think about it too, like the green Bay

1435
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: offense probably gonna be able to score. The New York

1436
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: secondary is banged up. Green Bay's coming out of its

1437
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: by Rogers McCAT home at home. Rogers and McCarthy a

1438
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: historically great after they're bye week, so this could be

1439
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: a shootout and Odell Beckham could just thump the Packers.

1440
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: So if you've been If you have them in your

1441
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: lineup and you've been Bryan about him not scoring a

1442
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: touchdown or whatever, put him in and just watch the

1443
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: points rack up like a dang pinball machine. I can't

1444
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,520
Speaker 1: wait to watch this game. This game is gonna be fascinating.

1445
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: You cannot watch. I can't wait to watch this game.

1446
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football at Lambeau Giants Packers. Man. Also, I

1447
01:09:53,920 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: think undoubtedly the freaking vite Texans games gonna have more

1448
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: points than this one. But now I think this is

1449
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 1: a game for Randall copy better time. I'm joking harm

1450
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: armor Road about it next time. Matchups and I were

1451
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about little bit. I think this is a good

1452
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: bounce back. I do kind of liked I was like

1453
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: trying to tell people to hold on till you get

1454
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: past the buy a week in. That game against the

1455
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Giants could potentially be the Randall cover redemption. Okay, they

1456
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: suffer over the middle of the field. The Packers don't

1457
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: have a dynamic tight end. I know you love rich Rog,

1458
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: but you's getting chicken heads, you know, yeah, chain restaurants.

1459
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: This could be. This could be a chance where they

1460
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: roam that Randall cob roam out of the slot and

1461
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: attack the seam in the middle of the field, and

1462
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: he racks up a bunch of yards and maybe gets

1463
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: in the end zone. All right, Last game of the week,

1464
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: Buckos at Panthers. We go to the Panthers. Homer, Oh

1465
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: my god, West Virginia product Man, I'm a Homer. I'm

1466
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: literally the worst. I think I've thrown that hat of

1467
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: theirs on my desk into the trash can like ten

1468
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: times this week. You also have an l a rams Hatch.

1469
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: Just that's because I have no loyalty. I don't know.

1470
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a fair Weather fan that's

1471
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: not even a fair Weather fan like bad teams apparently. Yeah,

1472
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: I just know, well, I don't know. It's kind of

1473
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: a masochist that he would want to like bad teams.

1474
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what I want. I feel like we've

1475
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,759
Speaker 1: kind of covered everything with this game. Derek Anderson definitely

1476
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: a good streamer. I mean, again, the guys. Do you

1477
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: feed your guys in this game? But yeah, definitely Cameron

1478
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: breaks the one player that I'm watching, uh this week,

1479
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: And really, I think if I'm gonna say anymore, I'm

1480
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: probably forcing it. Okay, great, let's do Daily Depths and

1481
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: get out of here. Alright, Daily Depth time, I'll start

1482
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: this time. How about that, I've been watching a brand

1483
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: new show. Not a brand new show. I've been watching

1484
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: a new show to me anyways on Amazon Prime. Man

1485
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: in the High Castle. Oh, I've heard great things. You know.

1486
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: It's actually really funny. I think it's well done. I

1487
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: think the acting is poor, but it's still incredibly interesting.

1488
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: I stayed up way too late last night watching trying

1489
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: to binge watch some episodes. So but but I'm like five,

1490
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: so it's and it's really good, really interesting. I'm also

1491
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: a sucker for concept type stuff, and that's that's about

1492
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 1: as high of the high concept as you get, exactly.

1493
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: So basically, it's a world where Germany and Japan one

1494
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,959
Speaker 1: World War two and now they have taken over America. Anyways,

1495
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: if you have Amazon Prime, it's free. It's cool. It's

1496
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: a good watch. I think they're into their second season now.

1497
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: I just started it. I'm addicted again. Acting not the greatest,

1498
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 1: but overall pretty well done. Daily DAPs two Man in

1499
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: the High Castle MG, my guy Marcus Grant. Uh. Daily

1500
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: DAPs goes out to John Boyce and SB Nation. I

1501
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: guess he's doing a series and I don't. I don't guess.

1502
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I know called Pretty Good where he basically just it's

1503
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of a longer form video piece and they do

1504
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: different stories. Now. I was unaware of this series until today,

1505
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: but this is apparently the tenth episode. What caught my

1506
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: eye is that it is about the greatest beat down

1507
01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: is not even the right word. I mean, that's how

1508
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 1: the actually how the piece starts. Beat Down isn't the word. Uh,

1509
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech destroying Cumberland two hundred and twenty two to nothing,

1510
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 1: because today is the one hundred anniversary of that game. What,

1511
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: Uh are you not aware of? This? The the most

1512
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: one sided sporting event probably in sports history. Uh? Yeah,

1513
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: it was a hundred years ago today and he goes

1514
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: back and he kind of researches that because you know,

1515
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: obviously it was a hundred years ago, you didn't have

1516
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, the reporting and the archiving that we do

1517
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 1: now we have YouTube clips. Uh, there are no YouTube clips,

1518
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: but he kind of recreates it using like you know,

1519
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: electric football guys and an almond for the football. It's

1520
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: really and I haven't watched a whole I got about

1521
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: halfway through it, and it is amazing because I always

1522
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: saw the score and always you always kind of wonder like,

1523
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: how exactly does that? I mean, how do you score

1524
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: thirty two touchdowns in the course of a football game?

1525
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: And there are some reird quirks. I mean, it's a

1526
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: hundred years ago. The rules of the game were different

1527
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that allowed this to happen. And

1528
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: there was a lot of hate there was there were

1529
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: a lot of vendetta's, a lot of revenge going around

1530
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: in this game. Um, and so I said, I've watched

1531
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: half of it. It's incredibly entertaining. It's really informative. I

1532
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: can't wait to finish it. But even through the first

1533
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: nine minutes of this eighteen minute piece, it is it

1534
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: is outstanding. So day lyadapths to that. Go check it

1535
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: out on SB Nation. Uh just look at Georgia Tech

1536
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Cumberland and you'll find it. Whiz Kid from Wisconsin a

1537
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 1: couple of quick daily depths. One goes up to Malcolm Jenkins,

1538
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: who uh safety for the Eagles. He's been a good

1539
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: player on the field for a number of years. But

1540
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: in light of all the stuff that's going on in

1541
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the country and other things, and like earlier this week,

1542
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: there's that Mike Freeman story about all the NFL players

1543
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: that support Trump and stuff, and Malcolm Jenkins this year

1544
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: has not been afraid to speak openly and thoughtfully on

1545
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: a lot of things. So I think it's really cool

1546
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: that he, uh he's off offering a unique perspective from

1547
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: his position on the field, and he does a lot.

1548
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 1: I've been tweeting with some people from the Philadelphia area

1549
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 1: for the community and for things in there. So uh

1550
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 1: dave DA's to Malcolm Jenkins because I think he's just

1551
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: doing a lot of cool stuff. And then uh Dave

1552
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: DAP's to all of you guys too for grabbing a

1553
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: drink with me last Friday after after working stuff, went

1554
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: through some personal things, so it was good. Good to

1555
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: have some some some friends out there with you and

1556
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, grab a drink to make it through everything.

1557
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: And it was the last time Harmon and I could

1558
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: drink beer for a month. So you can't believe we

1559
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 1: haven't hashed out that all about on the podcast yet.

1560
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: We'll do. That'll be the Feeling Podcast podcast. Perfect Matt Harmon,

1561
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah, speaking of the Feelings Podcast, Uh,

1562
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: my dad goes out to an article that I read

1563
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: this morning from the Seattle Times, written by Jason Jenks.

1564
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: It it profiles um Kevin Pierre Louis. He's a he's

1565
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: a linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks and battle with depression, uh,

1566
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: dating back to his time at Boston College and how

1567
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: he's how he's dealing with it or how he's living

1568
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: through it now. It's a really good piece. Pierre Pierre

1569
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: Lewis is really honest in it, and especially the ending,

1570
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: uh was really really real, and I liked it. It

1571
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: was really good to read. I would definitely recommend anybody

1572
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: reading in it, especially you know, kid cut he check

1573
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: himself into read have suicidal urges and depression, so it

1574
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: was it was kind of resonating with that as well. Uh,

1575
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: it's an issue that I take really seriously. So I

1576
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: think anybody would benefit from reading it just to gain

1577
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: further perspective, whether you're familiar with somebody that's that's dealt

1578
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 1: with it or not, or or you haven't. It's just

1579
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: always good to read these sort of stories, especially one

1580
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: that right you know at the moment, like has a

1581
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: very happy ending. It's it's really cool to see so

1582
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: moving piece. I would definitely check it out. By the way,

1583
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: The Rock also dealt with depression as well and has

1584
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: spoken openly about his battles there. Brandon Marshall is another

1585
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: guy who has dealt with Brandon Marshall's of football life

1586
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: is fantastic if you guys have never seen it too,

1587
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 1: because he talks very openly about that and his other

1588
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: mood disorders and things, and his wife is there to

1589
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: offer a perspective as well. Yep. I mean I've written

1590
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: I've written piece about my struggles with it too. Like

1591
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: it's a very real thing, and I think any time

1592
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: we can have like a educated discussion about it, uh,

1593
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: is good, you know. By the way, more more importantly,

1594
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: just normalizing it, yeah, just exactly like no more stigma

1595
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: around that, yeah, because I mean I think people, and

1596
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: he made the point in the piece like that somebody

1597
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that interacted with him would never think that that was

1598
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 1: something that he was dealing with. And I've had people

1599
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: tell me that too, But that's but that's the way

1600
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: it is. And just again being aware and normalizing it.

1601
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: It's it's something that's good for all of us. So

1602
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: definitely read the piece. It's it just it's very tweeted

1603
