1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:13,760

00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. Here's your host, Marcus Grant. What is up?

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show

00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings. It's me your man, MG, Marcus Grant,

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: still masking and socially distancing, win and where necessary, and

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: a big Wednesday show for you, including some big news

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: that just broke before we started recording this show, so

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a little bit. But we

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: do have a couple of Thanksgiving Day games to preview,

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: so Adam Rank will help me with that. He'll also

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: have his Week twelve Starts and sits. Will also through

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: the Wire taps the guys that you may have scored

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire and whether or not you want

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: to give them a shot in your lineup this week.

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: But before we do that and more, we'll talk to

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: our faithful producer Seere Edward L. Murphy Esquire and Murphy.

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: I know, usually I know this time you're you like

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: to get away and and and get back home maybe

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving to see the folks. I know that's not

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: going to happen. Uh So what the anything on the

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: the agenda for you for Thanksgiving Day this year. Yeah,

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to bake a few pies now,

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and I usually do the cooking, and my girl when

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: knows the bacon. For whatever reason, we're swapping rolls this Thanksgiving.

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: She's gonna make some some stuffing, Italian style stuffing, and

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the bacon sweepotato pies here, but

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get wild with it. My my normal recipe,

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vary on the second pie, so usually, um,

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, milk, eggs, sugar, sweet potatoes. Um,

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: But the second one, I'm gonna do some vanilla extract

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: and some brown sugar and then see how that one

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: is compared to my original recipe that I top with

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: with marshmallows. So I'm excited just on that to see

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: if my new creation is somehow better than the original.

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I will tell you that when I make my sweet

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: potato pies, I actually do use brown sugar and extract,

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: so I will already endure worse that. Also for my variation,

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: I've started making kind of a pecan pie topping, sort

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: of the cons and the kind of the caramel uh

40
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: that that as well. So, but I I fully endorse

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: experimenting with pies. I think it's a it's a good call,

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: so that's right, I know. Yeah, yeah, So I look

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: forward to, you know, chatting with you after Thanksgiving and

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: getting your your thoughts on and how it turned out.

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: So that should be cool. I was just gonna say,

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I expect a lot of text for me asking you

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: for for some tips and seeing if it tasted the

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to. Absolutely, absolutely, I'm always down to

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: taste pies. All right, let's join it now with Adam Rank,

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: who sits with us every Wednesday. You and I were

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: talking before the show about about Turkey and how you

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen a lot of Turkey slander

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: on my Twitter timeline. I don't should defend it wholeheartedly,

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: but I've just been sort of surprised that there has

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: been a Turkey backlash this year. I don't I don't

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: really get it because it's fine, Like it's just one

57
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of the things, like I don't look forward to Turkey,

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: like I don't look forward to hanging out with my family.

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: It's just something that I have to do, you know

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, I would you know, it's just

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: it's fine. Like I like, here's the thing about whether

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you really like turkey or don't like turkey. How many

63
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: do you go to Boston Market and just randomly in

64
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: August and be like, you know what, I could use

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: some bird right now. I'm gonna sit down and gonna

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: have a I'm gonna have an outside of when my

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: wife was pregnant. Haven't been to that place. And no

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: disrespect to the fine folks who run that establishment, because

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: you're stuffing is amazing, and I would love to try

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: to say tie I've had I actually have had Italian

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: style stuffing, and it is good. I want to try eddies,

72
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: is what I meant. So I just I get it,

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: like I don't. I don't want to be the guy

74
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: who just it's a it's a holiday thing, you know.

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: It's like I understand what it is, but don't try

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: to sell it to me like it's something great, because

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: it's not. It's just something that we do out of tradition.

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: That's fair. Like I said, I I I'm not gonna

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: sit here and try to like defend turkey. I don't

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: have any strong feelings one way or another. It just

81
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: seems like this is the year that people have sort

82
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: of uh decided to rise up as one is the

83
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: one who's causing all of this. This is true, She's

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the one that's probably true. So I don't know. I

85
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: will have some turkey tomorrow. Um. You know, I tried

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: to not. I tried to buy just a turkey breast

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: instead of a whole bird because it just didn't make sense.

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: So I will try to also dispose of it as

89
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Um. Alright, let's get into some fantasy headlines,

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: including as I mentioned, a big one that just hit

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: literally moments before we started recording this show, and that

92
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: is that the Ravens and Steelers game, which was scheduled

93
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: as the nightcap as the third of the three games

94
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: on the Thanksgiving Day slate, it has been moved to

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. Now, UM, as of the time of recording

96
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: the show, we don't know exactly when the kickoff is

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: going to be. The league has just announced it, so

98
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: there's still some details that I'm sure will come out.

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Probably by the time you listen to this or you

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: watch this streaming show, you will probably know a little

101
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: bit more than we do right now. But I mean rank.

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't know there's much to say other than I

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: guess it's not really a surprise considering the number of

104
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: positive COVID tests that had popped up on the Raven side,

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and it just seemed like this, this sort of seemed

106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: to be in the offing for a while, so I

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: guess nobody's really shocked by it now. And I know

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: that a couple of Steeler players have tweeted out because

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: they seem to have been on the the unfortunate end

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and a couple of instances with the Titans and now

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens where they've been forced to, you know, make

112
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: some adjustments on their end, you know, and they're a

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: team going for a perfect record, so I understand. I'm

114
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: not gonna say anything that I understand everything that they get.

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: The fans though, like the fans, we can all chill,

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: and I think the fans have been pretty cool about this,

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and I understand it's disappointing. This is a game that

118
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: we're all looking forward to and everything like that, but

119
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: of course the number one thing is safety and making

120
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: sure that every precaution is taken. And if I have

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: to lose the third game on Thanksgiving, this for this

122
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: one year to make sure that everybody's safe and we're

123
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: taking the proper protocols. But I think that's fine, and

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I think we'll move on and we'll enjoy the game.

125
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: On Sunday afternoon, it's more time to play monopoly with

126
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: our family. And there you go. Yeah, I'm gonna say,

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, just going fire up into the Spider Verse

128
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: for the you know, um teenth time. Oh my god,

129
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: my kids are so into it. Like you know, I'm

130
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: sure um Q goes through this like you go through

131
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: cycles of movies and uh into the Spider verses now

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: worked itself back into the rotation. I could not be happier.

133
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's great. I love it. It is an all

134
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: time superhero movie without a doubt. And I said one

135
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: thing though, I know that people are here for football.

136
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: First of all, Miles Monalys is a different I love Miles,

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: but I think Jake Johnson's Peter Parker might be my

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: favorite of all time. Peter Parker. He is great as

139
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Peter Parker. I don't know, again, this is a football show,

140
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: but whatever, because he is uh, he's sort of down

141
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: on his luck, like real life has slapped him in

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: the face repeatedly. Version of Peter Parker. Uh so I think,

143
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe it's because as I get older,

144
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I relate more to that people later. So who knows.

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: All Right, over to Chicago, David Montgomery has clear concussion

146
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: protocol and is on track to play this week against

147
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: the Packers. Obviously, Brank, I know you watch the Bears

148
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: very closely. You have certainly been frustrated with the offensive

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 1: line play there, But the matchup is really good because

150
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: the Packer run defense hasn't been good this year. So

151
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: how much would you trust David Montgomery against Green Bay.

152
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: It's a difficult one for me because there's no teams

153
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: on a buy this week, which means everybody's in play

154
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: and everybody's ready to go. And when I look at

155
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: the situation in Chicago, specifically for the offensive line, I

156
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 1: don't know that. I don't know how much I trust

157
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: this offense. I wish they would just kind of break

158
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: out the Tech Mobile offense. And I'm not talking super

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Tech Mobile. I'm talking about the first one where there

160
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: was four players to choose from, Like, what, just run them,

161
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: just run them straight, let see what happens. I don't

162
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: know if the run I don't know I feel like

163
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Bears fans and I'm gonna do a Bear show tonight.

164
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: They've they've now worn me down because I feel like

165
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I was the last like as I was the last

166
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Cutler fan, I was also the last Naggy fan, and

167
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: so I'm I don't know if they're slowly wearing me down,

168
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: but a lot of it too though I just look

169
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: at it. I'm like, it's got like guys, like the

170
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is not playing well. I don't. I still

171
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: don't think that we've seen this offense fully formed, and

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: I think a part of it's a product of the

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: offensive line having injuries over the years, not drafting well

174
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: at the position, and not attacking it in free agency

175
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: like they should have. So I don't know that it's

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: a David Montgomery issue, or even if it's a Matt

177
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Naggy issue, but but a support this week, I guess

178
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: that there's a long answer for a short of like, Yeah,

179
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: I'm apprehensive. I get it, especially as you mentioned with

180
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: with no teams want to buy, so you're generally your

181
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: full compliment of running backs should be available to you.

182
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: I got understand putting him in as a flex just

183
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: because the matchup is so good. There's also the issue

184
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: of who's going to be the quarterback because as of

185
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: this exact moment, we don't know who's going to start

186
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It looks like it's probably not going to

187
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: be Nick Foles. Uh, it could be that they're back

188
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: to Mitchell Robinsky. I wanted to be Tyler Bray simply

189
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: because I just want to break out the hashtag eat

190
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: Bray love for the week. So that's just for my

191
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: own self. That's for my own selfish purposes, is what

192
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: I want. It's great, But we can say something though, like,

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: how does every team like p J Walker last week

194
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: goes out there looks like a competent NFL quarterback? How

195
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: how do the Bears never find anybody ever? Like, there's

196
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: never a situation. I guess McCown was probably the closest,

197
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: and we blew it by bringing cut Like I even say,

198
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: this is a Cutler fan. Probably shouldn't have brought Cutler

199
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: back that season when McCown was playing so well. We

200
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: never find we like, we never stumble into a guy there.

201
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: There's like we never stumble into a gardener Minshew or

202
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's always like, Nope, we wasted a

203
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: second overall pick for the guy who didn't turn out

204
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: to be good, and so it just I don't know,

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: it gets more frustrating and I just wish I don't know,

206
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: my my whole whatever. I'm just mad. Anyway, By the way,

207
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: to your technobile point, I'll never forget needing to beat

208
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: the Bears one season in that game to make into

209
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, worried about Neil Anderson running all over me,

210
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: and instead it was Matt Suey that scored a couple

211
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: of backdowns. That helps not just can't that helps no one? Uh?

212
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: What could help some folks as Austin Ekeler, who looks

213
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: like he should be back. He's going to be getting

214
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: practicing this week. The Charger is still unsure whether or

215
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: not he's going to play in week twelve. But as

216
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: long as we've waited for Austin Ekeler and knowing his

217
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: role in this offense is it is simple that if

218
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: he plays with the Chargers, he plays for you. I

219
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: really do believe that's the case. I mean, obviously we

220
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: saw what happened when Christian McCaffrey returned. They got him,

221
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: They did not hesitate to dial them up for thirty

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: or thirty touches. That's close to it, you know. And

223
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: we talked about it leading into that show, and I

224
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: was saying the same thing, like they're not gonna not

225
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: use Christian McCaffrey. I know, I used to double negative

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: there it obviously, and now I look stupid because he's

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: hurt again and he's probably not gonna play until Week fourteen,

228
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: which is kind of a bummer. But I'm making the

229
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: playoffs with that team anyway, so I don't care. Anyways,

230
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, if you want, I I know that it's

231
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: weird to just watch his videos and be like, there's

232
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: no way that he's There's no way he's gonna stand

233
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: on the sideline and let Tony Lynn tell him not

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: to go onto the field, like he's just gonna go.

235
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna run out of the field. I don't care

236
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: what happens if Austin Ekeler is playing for the l

237
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: A Chargers, He's playing for my team, and I haven't

238
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: I have a squad, Marcus. I was looking on it today.

239
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: This kid was offering me a trade, and I go, hey,

240
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to make a trade because like this

241
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: will seem like collusion because you know, like I'm not

242
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and he goes go look at the

243
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: standings again because my team is, uh four and seven,

244
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm tied for the sixth wild card spots. Like, oh

245
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: my god, I'm in. I'm like, make this trade because

246
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I got Eckler. I just made a deal. I got

247
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. So I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm excited.

248
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: So I I feel like that team is gonna because

249
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: that team is so good but just had injuries and

250
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm gonna win it all. So

251
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I want Austin Ekeler back and playing and rolling,

252
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: and I have no hesitation with that. I wouldn't hesitate either.

253
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're if he's healthy enough to be

254
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: on the field, and seeing what they've done with Klin Blage,

255
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: the fact that they've made Calin Blage fantasy relevant over

256
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, I feel pretty confident that

257
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: if Austin Ekeler's out there, he's gonna do some work.

258
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: So if he's back, startup, Uh, you know, I don't

259
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: care about the matchup, just put him in the lineup.

260
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: That's slander, which I'm not gonna sit for him. Well, look,

261
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: I I have I have been on the hype train

262
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: for Calin Balage. I know last year he was a

263
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: fantasy punch line, but this year he's been good. Um,

264
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm willing to put him in the list

265
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: of Adam Gays expats, like guys who've gotten away from

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: Adam Gays and then turned out to be productive. I

267
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's earned entry into that club.

268
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: Now it's all right, Well you I just wanted to

269
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: I want listen. For as much work as I've done

270
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: defending USC receivers, I think that you can help me

271
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: out with former A s U players' works up, works up.

272
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm down. Julio Jones still dealing with a hamstring injury,

273
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: and right now the Falcons are saying he could be

274
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a game time decision against the Raiders. This is one

275
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: rank where I look at it and we've seen Julio

276
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: get out there and when he's less than a percent,

277
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: a lot of times he is sort of a decoy.

278
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets a couple of targets, but it's just

279
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: so hard to sit him. I mean, what what are

280
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: you doing if you've got Julio, and you're hearing the

281
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: words game time decision right now that I will be

282
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: waiting to game time to make that decision if he's

283
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: ready to go. I know that a lot of times

284
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: he goes out there and he is this, like you said,

285
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: a deco. I think that's the perfect way to put it.

286
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: I want to know what receivers you're starting over him.

287
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're flushed with wide receivers. If somehow

288
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: you have DeAndre Hopkins, DK Metcalf and Julio and you're

289
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: trying to decide through the three, well, I think it's

290
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: a pretty easy decision. But if you have Julio and

291
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: your decision is and this isn't to besmirch t Higgins

292
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: or somebody like that, you have a real list, like like, okay,

293
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna play Julio like I'm gonna take

294
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: that upside over Tee Higgins upside, especially with the change

295
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: at quarterback to Brandon Allen. So I think that check

296
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the rankings, But I for the most part, I don't

297
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: think that we have so many great options that Julio's

298
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: upside is not worth taking a chance on. Let me know,

299
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: tweet us, let us and by the way, I know

300
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: our producer is getting in my ear and you'll hear

301
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: my phone vibrating in the background. I'm writing for an

302
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: important phone call. I gotta I gotta schedule a medical thing,

303
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: and it's like they never call back. I have to

304
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: have my phone ready, So everybody chill out. You're gonna

305
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: have to listen to my phone buzzing because I'm not

306
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: missing this call. Uh So anyway, that's the way of

307
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: saying start Julio Jones. Yeah, that was the point, which

308
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: I agree with. It's just frustrating because you know, we

309
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: seem to do this dance a lot every year. Now, Um,

310
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: you just never know which Julio is gonna show up.

311
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: But the ceiling is always so high that you will

312
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: kick yourself if you see him, and he has a

313
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: Julio Jones type game. Um. Last bit of news, Joe Burrow,

314
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: it is what a lot of us feared. It is

315
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: a pretty significant knee injury, torn a c L, M

316
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: c L. There's some other structural damage in there. The Bengals, however,

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: are optimistic that he'll be ready for the start of

318
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: so that is good news for him, good news for

319
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Good news if you have him on a

320
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: dynasty team. But in the short term, we've talked about

321
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: what this means for the wide receivers and we're sort

322
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: of both you know, still on the Tyler Boyd train.

323
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: But GIOE Bernard, who's the the running back for the

324
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: foreseeable future with Joe Mixon on I R. What does

325
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback change mean for him in this offense. I'm

326
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: not I'm not sure it's gonna mean too much. And

327
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: I know that it's I mean, I really love g O,

328
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: so maybe this is me projecting. But last year, and

329
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: I know they're not going with Ryan Finley right now,

330
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: he made three starts and they weren't Two of them

331
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: weren't great. Actually none of them were great, but two

332
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: of them were against the Ravens and the Steelers, which

333
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, what are we doing here, Why are

334
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: you starting? Why are you making this change against the

335
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Remember this last year. It's like when I was teaching

336
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: my daughter how to write a scooter. I didn't put

337
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: her on a three wheeler. I gave her a two wheeler.

338
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're just gonna have to learn and you're

339
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna go, And she hated me. For a while. But

340
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: you know what, she's a she's a g out there

341
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: rolling around on a two wheeler roll or little friends

342
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: got their little three wheelers going. So I think I

343
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: made the right decision, but I did want back. I

344
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: didn't go back to look at that game where they

345
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: played it, where Finlay started against the Raiders and the Bengals.

346
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: RB one that day had eighty six rushing yards, he

347
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: had a touchdown. I think he had one reception for

348
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: around seventeen yards. I'm like that, which is pretty good.

349
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: And I feel like as long as he's not starting

350
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: against the Ravens or Steelers that we can expect something

351
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: around a hundred scrimmage yards. You know, there's always gonna

352
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for a touchdown. Let's say let's say

353
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: nineties scrimmage yards, and there's always gonna be an opportunity

354
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Hopefully gets a couple of receptions to

355
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: get you into double digits. So I'm not I'm not

356
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: too concerned about it. I feel like they're always gonna

357
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: be in a game script where they're gonna need offense,

358
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm still with GEO this week. I tend

359
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: to agree, especially the look at the schedule. The next

360
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: couple of games, or two of the next three games,

361
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I should say, are against the Giants and the Cowboys,

362
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: so the matchups tend to be a little bit more favorable.

363
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: The one thing we have known about Geo is that

364
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: when the Bengals are in catch up mode, which tends

365
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: to be frequently because their defense has not been good. Uh,

366
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: they had him on the field anyway in those two

367
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: minute drives, in those passing situations. So I feel like

368
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: you can still feel okay about Jeo Bernard, and especially

369
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: as long as Mixing h is unavailable, he's going to

370
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: get a pretty significant workload. Uh. The pointner is gonna

371
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: be the running back of record there in Cincinnati, all right. Uh.

Speaker 1: starts and sits, but this week we had a couple

382
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: of things Giving Day Day games to preview, so figure,

383
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: let's get this done. Now, let's preview the games. Uh,

384
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: this is sort of like the I don't know the

385
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: the stuffing portion and then we can move on to

386
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: the pie or whatever. I'm trying to make bad Thanksgiving analogies.

387
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: Just that I'm the I'm the bowl of peanut M

388
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: and m's that sits out on the table that you

389
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: end up filling up on waiting for the turkey because

390
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: we're supposed to eat it too, And all of a sudden,

391
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: it's for thirty I haven't eaten anything, and now I'm

392
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: full on peanut M and m's. That might be too real.

393
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: Let you know, I'm sorry. I think I think it's

394
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: a better analogy than anything I came up with. So

395
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: all right, let's start at quarterback. Which qvs are on

396
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: your start list for the week. Well, I really like

397
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: Derek Carr this week. I think has been playing excellent

398
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: football this season, and it hasn't always translated to fantasy points,

399
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: which I know disappoints a lot of people. But he

400
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: was out there on Sunday night dealing against Patrick Mahomes,

401
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: obviously one of the best in the game, if not

402
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: the best, but you know, he hung with them and

403
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: he put up a lot of fantasy production. Now this week,

404
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: I think this is another opportunity to go up against

405
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: this Falcons defense that you know, they've been playing better recently.

406
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: They've they've played better. They're not the dump, they're not

407
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: the lay up, they're not the swaggy c on the

408
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: MTV Challenge. You know that you're just gonna be But

409
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: they have allowed the second most families, are second most

410
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: passing yards this season. They've allowed the most fantasy points

411
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. They've allowed a top four quarterback in back

412
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: to back game. So I feel very comfortable with Derek Carr.

413
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: And let's talk a moment too about Taysom Hill, who

414
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: is a quarterback. I feel like he's a quarterback in

415
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: every platform now, and uh, I think that this is

416
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback that you need to start. Like he scored,

417
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: like he surprised me with how well he could throw

418
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: the football down the field. That was kind of a

419
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: nice surprise I had him. I had him earmarked for

420
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: about a hundred and eighty yards. He got to thirty three.

421
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. And of course the big news is

422
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: that he rushed for fifty yards. He scored a pair

423
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. He killing Alvin Kamara, but he doesn't care

424
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: because this is what these quarterbacks do. They like to

425
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: take all their own their own touchdowns, Josh Allen Cam

426
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: They all do it once. Once you've given that taste

427
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: of scoring rushing touchdowns, they want to do it. But

428
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: Denver has allowed twenty plus rushing twenty plus fantasy points

429
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in two of their last four games. They

430
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: allowed seventy six rushing yards to Cam Newton. I feel

431
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: pretty good about that. The great fantasy eligibility wars of

432
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: are now over. Uh Taysom Hills. I think universally a

433
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: quarterback regardless of the platform, and I'll agree with you.

434
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: I went back and watched that game, and he made

435
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: some really nice throws, even the one throw that everybody

436
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: sort of mocked, the the big air ball that Emmanuel

437
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: Sanders ended up catching, And you know, if I can

438
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: watch it, he actually was getting hit as he threw

439
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: that ball. So even that one, I think he sort

440
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: of gets a pass on. So okay, I only taysom

441
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: Hill haters at least for one week. I have to

442
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: kind of sit on it. Uh running back, So where

443
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: were going for running backs this week? Well, I just

444
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: wanted to mention James Robinson. And I know it's probably

445
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: an obvious started this point, but I just want to

446
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: give a little bit of love. Like our friends down

447
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: in Duval County, They've won one game this season, so

448
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to take an opportunity to say something nice

449
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: about them because he has been so good this year,

450
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: averaging close to eighteen fantasy points. That's eighth, excuse me

451
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: that seventh amongst fantasy running backs, fifteen touches, ten fantasy

452
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: points in every game this season. He's the only player

453
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: in the league who can say that ten plus fantasy

454
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: points in ten games, in all ten games. Yeah, Alvin

455
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Kamber is the only one who's done that, and I

456
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: guess he does. How does Alvin Camara not have fifteen touches?

457
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: But anyways, uh, seventy five plus scrimmage yards at eight

458
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: of ten games this season. Amari Cooper is the only

459
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: other one to do that. So that's an easy one

460
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: and I'll stay in that game, and talk a little

461
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: bit about Kareem Hunt, who last week you might have

462
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: been a little bit disappointed because he didn't give you

463
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: the production that you were hoping for. He was still good, like,

464
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: don't get it wrong, Like, don't get it twisted. He

465
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: also had a touchdown called back. And I don't know

466
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: if there's a way to quantify this, but I'm pretty

467
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: confident that I lead the NFL in touchdowns overturned, Like

468
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: my players always get their touchdowns over tre and I'm

469
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: sick of it, Like I get it. I want to

470
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: get it right, like I want to enjoy. Like the

471
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: part of the fun of sports is like you score,

472
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: you celebrate. It's not like score, Hey, let's make sure

473
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: that was cool. We wait around. It's kind of like

474
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: when I have to, you know, submit scripts for the hype.

475
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't do that anymore because I'm a big enough

476
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: of a big shot to not have to do that.

477
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: But anyways, start cream Hunt this week. I think that's

478
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. I like Tyler, Like obviously

479
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: dk MC after me is kind of the automatic start.

480
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: But this matchup against the Eagles should be pretty good

481
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: for both of these receivers he did have. You know,

482
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: he's still averaging It's hard to look at his season average,

483
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: like gay, He's averaging nineteen fantasy points per games. You're like, Okay,

484
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: he scored fifty in one game. That's always gonna be

485
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a skewed notion. But he has

486
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: had at least seventeen fantasy points in five of ten

487
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: games this season. Seattle is averaging three touchdown passes per

488
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: game every game this season. That's what's significant. Listen, these

489
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: touchdowns are volatile. We can tell you this is a

490
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: good matchup and they're expecting to throw. I'm not Russell

491
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: Wilson delivering that football. I can only give you that

492
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: the information that this team throws the football a lot

493
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: and another team that I expect to throw the football lot.

494
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: And we talked about Giovanni Bernard earlier in the show.

495
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd to me, still a pretty good option, you know,

496
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: And I think that last year when they made the

497
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: quarterback switch Ryan Finley, who again is not starting, he

498
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: targeted Tyler Boyd the most. And Tyler Boyd of all

499
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: these wide receivers on the Bengals, I feel like his

500
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: production is the most sustainable because of the volume. Now

501
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: they're going up against the Giants, who are playing really well.

502
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Like the Giants are last year's Miami Dolphins and so

503
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: who finished off pretty strong. But the Giants is still

504
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: allowed the ninth most Fantasy points per game to slot

505
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: receivers this this year. So I feel really great about

506
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd. Uh, Tyler Tyler Boyd is just like I said,

507
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: I sort of have downgraded my expectations from wide receiver

508
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: won the wide receiver two, but I still think you're

509
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: starting them. They're gonna throw the ball a lot, uh

510
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: tight ends, which are always the bane of our existence.

511
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Who are we dart throwing at this week? Not me,

512
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: dog because I start Travis Kelsey. But you know what,

513
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Darren the ball or Waller could have stolen the show

514
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: last week in that Sunday night game against the Chiefs.

515
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Chiefs would have left him wide

516
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: open like the Raiders get with Travis Kelsey on that

517
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: that winning touched like really, like what's the game plan? Like, Okay,

518
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: we need to cover everybody? What about Travis Kelsey? No, no, no,

519
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: not him, but everybody else. But you know what, Waller

520
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: is really good and the One thing I will caution

521
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: is that Waller has faced some ups and downs over

522
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, like he's on this weird

523
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: streak since the Raiders buy where he will score double

524
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: digits one week, then turn around with a minor performance.

525
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: And if you're one of those guys who walks up

526
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: to the roulette wheel and says, oh, Blood coastn't come

527
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: up in a while, and then loses all of your money,

528
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: then find sit Waller this week, but not me, because

529
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: the Falcons have allowed the most fantasy points to the

530
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: tight end position this year. And another another kind of

531
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: I like, right there, Evan Ingram. You know, he wasn't

532
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: great against the Eagles in Week ten, but he had

533
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: been on a nice little roll up until that point,

534
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: scoring double digits in three consecutive games. And sometimes the

535
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: game script is gonna feed the tight end. But in

536
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: that game against the Eagles, the Whiteouts were out there feasting,

537
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: So you know what that kind of thing happens. The Bengals,

538
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: they'll have a lot the fourth most fantasy points of

539
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: tight ends this season, and I swear I think all

540
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: of that was to Harrison Bryant, which again, like excuse

541
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: these averages, So I don't want to think about it

542
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: way too much. But Ingram to me is still a

543
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: like he's a solid start, He's a secure start. Sorry, Visa,

544
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to get that wrong. That reminds me

545
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: of the time a friend of mine had been playing

546
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: seven on the roulette wheel all night long and then

547
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: the one time he hit, he decides to not play.

548
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: It is the one time it actually hits. So that's

549
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: the way that goes. Of course, that's the way it goes.

550
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: And if you're looking to stream defenses this week, where

551
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: do you suggest people go? Well, last week we told

552
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: everybody to play the Cleveland Browns, and even when Myles

553
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: Garrett went out, we were still pretty confident in them.

554
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: We're like, still stick with the Browns because they turn

555
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: over the ball a lot, they give up a lot

556
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: of sacks, and so if you have the Browns, well,

557
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: the good news for you is that you're going to

558
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: continue to use them this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

559
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: And again, this is why I wanted to talk about

560
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: James Robinson because I feel like we're always picking on

561
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: the Jags. But we did great, you know what, And

562
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that we're gonna get twenty points from

563
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: them this week. But that's okay because this is still

564
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup. And you know, obviously the waiver

565
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: wires already closed when by the time you're watching this

566
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: probably so if so, if you have the Browns, congratulations.

567
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: If I go back and check, you know, they might

568
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: still be there. Last week, man, I was in like

569
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: a very important league. I picked up brown We're gonna

570
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: go blanket hip, which was just the craziest thing to me, like,

571
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you never know. So go check the

572
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: waiver wire, see if the Browns are still there, and

573
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: if you miss out on them, hear me out on this.

574
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks against the Philadelphia Eagles. I know they're

575
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: having a historically bad year. And if you go and

576
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: you read my Startum Situm column, I'll be talking about

577
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: starting guys like Alice Goddard and Travis Fulgham. But at

578
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: the same time, the Eagles have given up so many sacks,

579
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: turned the ball over so much. It would be foolish

580
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: to overlook the Seahawks in this week. And the crazy

581
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: thing is that the Seahawks are still rostered in a

582
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. You know what I'm saying, like it's

583
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: either out of habit or your buddy auto picked them

584
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: and has ghosted your team, so he's still got him

585
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: on the roster, which happens. But you know what, I

586
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: think this is a pretty good opportunity. I think the Seahawks,

587
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, making the trade that they did has helped

588
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: them out. Jamal Adams being healthy has helped them out.

589
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: They're not historically bad anymore. They're just bad, but they're

590
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: not historically bad. And they showed him that game against

591
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals that when they need to make a stop,

592
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: they can do it, which I think that's all that

593
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: offense really needs. That is all that that offense really needs.

594
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: And the fact that Carson Wentz for now sort of

595
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: appears to be broken, I think gives you reason to

596
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: have a little bit of confidence in them this week.

597
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, that was secure Starts presented by Visa.

598
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: So we've gone from the starts. Now we gotta go

599
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: with the guys that you are sitting this week. So

600
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: back to the quarterbacks spot. Who should we avoid? Do

601
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: we have to go to the sis? I don't know

602
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: if you read the column. I'm sure you're busy. You don't.

603
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: But like it used to be five starts, five sits,

604
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: now it's seven starts, three sits because the quarterback position

605
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: is so difficult to find a guy that you don't

606
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: want to start. And let's talk about Kirk Cousins for

607
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: a moment. Last week we talked about streaming them, and

608
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, you look at the whole

609
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: NFL media news group, there were two people who picked

610
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys to win that game. Both of them

611
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: are on this show right now. So just putting that

612
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: out there is a little bit of a humble brag

613
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: for us. Cousins, though, has been good, like he's he's

614
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: been good given the opportunity. He had three touchdowns against

615
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He's still Cousins um he's benefiting from Adam

616
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: Feeland and Justin Jefferson like he has probably maybe the

617
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: best receiving tandem. I really have to stop and sit

618
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: and think about that. But as good as he was

619
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, he's still had twoer than twenty fantasy

620
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: points in seven of ten games. And he's got a

621
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed a

622
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: top fantasy quarterback in four of eleven games, so they've

623
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: done a really nice job against them. And another quarterback

624
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit concerned about this week, which we

625
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: should be, is Carson Wentz, who finally got into double

626
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: digits last week. He did score fourteen points against the Browns, which, okay,

627
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: that's great, but he's gone twelve consecutive games without three

628
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. He leads the NFL and interceptions with fourteen,

629
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: he leads the NFL in fumbles with ten. He's been

630
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: a fantasy. He's cracked the top ten twice this season,

631
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been a top fifteen guy in three consecutive games.

632
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Like that's too much. Even against the Seahawks, which I

633
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: know is it's the matchup everybody's looking forward to playing. No,

634
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: not not with no teams on a buy, I can't

635
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: imagine playing Carson Wentz. Yeah, and I sort of had

636
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: to look just kind of give up the ghost on

637
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: my idea that Carson Wentz could be a top ten

638
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. It's falling apart right now. So I'm

639
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: slowly backing away from that one running backs to avoid

640
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: who are they? I took the US and I took

641
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: the cheapest way out. I picked Jerick McKinnon because I'm

642
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: a coward. What running back am I going to tell

643
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: people not to play? Like it's so ridiculous that you

644
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: just can't. I just can't do that. Hold on, let

645
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: me get that's not my doctor. Let me get rid

646
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: of that one. Um, I can't. I can't do that.

647
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: So Jerrick McKinnon, I know if Rohem Moster returns, this

648
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be a different situation because I would start

649
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster. But no matter what, like if Raheem Moster

650
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: ends up being an active or anything like that, you're

651
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: still not playing Jerrick McKinnon, which I know is the dumbest,

652
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Like it's the dumbest piece of advice I could give you. Uh,

653
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: And Melvin Gordon, I'll give you a legitimate running back.

654
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: You can't play, hello, Melvin Gordon against the Saints, He's

655
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: had fewer than five fantasy points and two out of

656
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: his last three games. He had two touchdowns last week

657
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins, and they tried to give him

658
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: a third even though he was sixty yards short of

659
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: the goal line. They were still signaling touchdowns And I'm like,

660
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: who's up there reping this game is that Doug Edtings

661
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: because that is the worst call that I've seen since

662
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: two thousand five. But you know what, the Saints have

663
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: not allowed a top twenty fantasy running back in six

664
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: consecutive games. And if I can say something, if I

665
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: can say something to you, Philip Lindsay should be the

666
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: running back they go? What you watch the games? Do

667
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: you ever agree? You never? Like every time? Like who? Like?

668
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't even have to, I don't even have I

669
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: can have the TV across the room. And if I

670
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: see a running back dart through the line and get

671
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: eight yards, I'm like, well that's Philip Lindsay. If I

672
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: see a guy plodding into those into the back of

673
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: his his his lineman like, oh, there's Melvin Gordon, Like

674
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: I can tell that easy. It's frustrating. Give those touchdowns

675
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: to Philip Lindsay and we have a top ten fantasy

676
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: running back Like, come on, Vick, I'm upset about I agree. No,

677
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm fully with you. And I don't understand why Philip

678
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Lindsay has to keep sharing workloads with with other guys

679
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: because he's been great for them three years in a

680
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: row now, So I don't I don't get it wide receivers.

681
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: Who's on these sit list this week? We're not starting

682
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. We've had some questions and Marcus, I don't

683
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: want to say it was you, but somebody I know

684
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: I I honestly don't remember who was. Like, I didn't

685
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: start A J. Brown this week, and I'm like that

686
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm never gonna do. Like I'm always

687
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: going to start A J. Brown and get him into

688
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: the lineup, but I can't do it with Corey Davis.

689
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: I think that this defense, this this Colts defense has

690
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: proven to be too tough. Even though Corey Davis did

691
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: well last time they played the Indianapolis Colts, I'm not

692
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna go with him, so to me, I'm gonna have

693
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: to leave him on the bench. But A J. Brown

694
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: is somebody that I start every week and I don't

695
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: look at any other position and the other wide receiver

696
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: is going to be Let me take a moment here

697
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: and really think about this, but you know what, I

698
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: can't start Jerry Judy. And I think again, this goes

699
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: back to that Saints defense that has been playing very

700
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: well over the past couple of weeks, and Drew Lock

701
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: has played well in some spurts and he had a

702
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: nice game this week again, or you know, they beat

703
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphin and so, but I think the Saints defense.

704
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: You know, for everything that we're talking about with Taysom Hill,

705
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: and everybody loves Taysom Hill, everybody loves what's going on

706
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: with the offense. What are we doing with Michael Thomas

707
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: and all that stuff keeps coming up. The one thing

708
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: that we're overlooking is how good that defense is. And

709
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: I know this is a fantasy show, but it's like,

710
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: if the Saints are gonna make a run this year,

711
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: one of the reasons they're going to do it is

712
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: because of that defense. So I try to avoid the

713
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: opposing offensive players, obviously without starting Melvin Gordon or Jerry Judy. Yeah,

714
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: the Saints defense has come back to life. I think

715
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: starting with that that beat down against the Buccaneers, they've

716
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: been back to the old Saints defense again. A couple

717
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: of tight ends. And it hurts my heart that Johnny

718
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Smith is on this list, but it makes sense that

719
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Smith is on this list. Well. The one problem

720
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: with john Nu Smith is that he's so touchdown dependent

721
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: and they're trying to find ways to give him the football.

722
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I bench him every week and

723
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: then he scores a touchdown and then I get super

724
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: mad and I'm like, oh my gosh, this doesn't like

725
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm so bummed because you know, he just scored a

726
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: cutchdown and then he still scores double digit points and

727
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, so that's not as bad as I

728
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be. And so the problem with

729
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: that is that unless he starts getting more volume as

730
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: a receiver in the passing game, it's really hard to

731
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: trust him. And he's going up against the Colts who

732
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: have really been tough on opposing tight ends this season.

733
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna avoid him if possible. And another one

734
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: tight end I'm gonna I'm gonna avoid is Jimmy Graham.

735
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: And I know it's a Jimmy Graham revenge game, and

736
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: I should have, you know, I should. I should want

737
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: him out there, and I should want him being the

738
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: guy who who is uh, you know, coming back to

739
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: to make the Packers look foolish. But it's probably gonna

740
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: go the other direction. I was thinking about this the

741
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: other day, like Jimmy Graham, I don't trust him because

742
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't get targeted enough, Like I saw him get

743
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: pulled out near the goal line a couple of weeks ago,

744
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are they doing? Why is you Well,

745
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: first of all, they don't throw it to Allen Robbinson enough,

746
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: and then they pulled Jimmy Graham. I'm like, those are

747
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: your two guys. So I'm gonna do but I will

748
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: tell you this, I'm gonna go the other way. I

749
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: really think that Bob Tonyan is going to have a

750
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: monster game because I think Aaron Rodgers is gonna stick

751
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: it to Jimmy Graham for not coming through for them,

752
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: like giving three touchdowns to Bob Tonyan. So watch that happen,

753
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty confident that is going to be the case.

754
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: This is a new level to the Aaron Rodgers petty party,

755
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty much here for it. So he needs

756
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: new levels because he's so bored with the other thing,

757
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: Like it's too easy for him now, like I've got

758
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: to really go above and beyond, which I'm fully anticipating

759
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: him doing. Plus he's already annoyed that everybody's giving Patrick

760
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes credit for no look passes when he feels like,

761
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, I was doing this first. Uh so the

762
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: the the salt levels are rising, for I can only

763
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: imagine what the conversations are like at those state farm commercials.

764
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: Poor Jake, Poor Jake. Defense to sit defense is to

765
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: say which ones are they? Well? The two that I'm

766
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about in the New England Patriots in

767
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons this week, and I'm just gonna let

768
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: them roll the b roll and I will give you

769
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: the information that you need. We're gonna start with the

770
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. There we go. This was again this

771
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: goes back to the muscle memory of let's just find

772
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: a good like, let's rely on a defense that we

773
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: relied on last year, because I know a lot of

774
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: teams probably won a Fantasy football championship because of the

775
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: Patriots defense. I know the fantasy footballers got to the

776
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: finals of Fantasy League one for two reasons. They stumbled

777
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: into Darren Waller, which only happened because I already had

778
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and didn't need a tight end, and they

779
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: got lucky with the Patriots defense. Ultimately, they lost the Candice,

780
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: which is, you know, to be expected. But I just

781
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: feel like this Patriots defense has played well. But they're

782
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: not getting enough sacks to really make them, you know,

783
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: a formidable defense to get them over five Fantasy points, Like,

784
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's a struggle to get the five. And

785
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: obviously the Falcons defense. Again, this is so tough because

786
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: when we're trying to put together these starts and sits,

787
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to find defenses that you think that you

788
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: might be able to stream. I only I only mentioned

789
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: the Falcons because I know that there are people out

790
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: there who are still disrespecting Derek Carr, and you all

791
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: know who you are, And I know that there's there's

792
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: there's getting to be fewer and fewer of them because

793
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: before the season started, the you know a lot of

794
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: people are talking about when Marcus Mariotta was gonna take

795
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: over and things like that, and they were gonna bring

796
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: in Tom Brady or whatever it was. So I know

797
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: there's still some holdouts of you that will look and

798
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I want to start a defense against

799
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. You don't, and I'm tired of hearing about it.

800
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Derek car has been playing good football,

801
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: their cars playing well, Nelson Aghalore is playing well. Like

802
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: the jokes need to stop like it's over. They're playing good.

803
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: Now if they go back to being bad, then we

804
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: can revisit this conversation. But for now, put some respect

805
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: on their names because they're retired. That unlike Aga little

806
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: our meme forever, we need a new meme for Nelson Aghor.

807
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, don't get me wrong, I still

808
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: sort of giggle when I see the guy's face. But

809
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: we need a new meme for Nelson Aglor because that

810
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: one doesn't it doesn't apply anymore. Just I got an idea.

811
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: Can we go find that guy and have him say, oh,

812
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: he's catching it like a glor. Let's find that dude,

813
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: get on it. Philly like Philadelphia is great at finding

814
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: people like that, like go after coon, Philly like do

815
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: us a solid, And let's find this guy and let's

816
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: let's right this wrong. Let's make put it on TikTok.

817
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: Let's go absolutely I'm a dcent now I would actually,

818
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, look at TikTok more regularly if that would happen.

819
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: Who for the rest of Adam ranks starts and since

820
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: go check them out at NFL dot com. Slash Start said,

821
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: we've got two Thanksgiving Day games that we were going

822
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: to have three, but as we mentioned at the top

823
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: of the show, Ravens and Steelers has been postponed to Sunday,

824
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: So we'll start with the first game of the day,

825
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: which is the Texans the Lions, which, uh, look, it

826
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: is Thanksgiving tradition to have the Detroit Lions play. Even

827
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: if the game doesn't necessarily get a lot of folks

828
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: fired up, there are some fantasy relevant guys involved in here.

829
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: First off, Duke Johnson, who I know. I know how

830
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: you feel about Duke Johnson. You are a fan as

831
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: am I. Even though he hasn't necessarily played well. The

832
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: Lions run defense has been bad. So could this be

833
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: a get right game for Duke? I really hope so.

834
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: And I feel bad because of my second city league.

835
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: I dealt Duke Johnson to my friend Craig, and I'm like, bro,

836
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: you gotta start him. He's stuffling to get into the playoffs.

837
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: My team is flushed with running back, so I didn't

838
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: need to do but I if it's if it doesn't happen,

839
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of these things markets where it's like,

840
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: I'm such a d C fan that I remember the

841
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: day I walked into go see Wonder Woman, and I

842
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: remember saying to myself, if this movie doesn't work out,

843
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: it might not ever work out for old DC like

844
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: it might it might be one of those things where

845
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: I might have to give up. I might have to

846
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: give up the uh, you know, standing for this for

847
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: this franchise. And similarly, it feels like if Duke doesn't

848
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: come through in this game, this might be it for

849
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: me because this is this, this is his chance, this

850
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: is I think I saw a cool meme to where

851
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: somebody was using the the scene from Little Big League

852
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: where it's like, give me one more, give me one

853
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: more chance. And that's what it feels like with Duke Johnson.

854
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Probably true. I think in deeper leagues you're playing him,

855
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: you know. And look, if I'm playing a bunch of

856
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: different daily lineups, I would give him a shot there.

857
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that, you know, in like a ten

858
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: or twelve team league, I'm looking at it. Uh. And

859
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: speaking of which, by the way, the the DC movies

860
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: I feel like with with female leads have done well,

861
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: like Wonder Woman was great, Birds of Prey is great.

862
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe that's uh, if you want

863
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: to go out suggestions, DC they've been on quite a

864
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: role lately because She'sam was really good too. I know

865
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: it's on a female lead, but Shazam was also good.

866
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, so maybe they're turning a corner. Who knows,

867
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm I'm not sure about the

868
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: future of the m c U. So maybe it's time

869
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: for the d C you to step up and fill

870
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: the void. Here we go, uh better DFS play Will

871
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: Fuller or Brandon Cooks. I always default the Will Fuller.

872
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: That's I just feel like anytime he steps onto the field,

873
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: he's got an opportunity to get into the end zone.

874
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: And I know that they spread the ball a little

875
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: bit around last week, Kiki QT got into the end zone,

876
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: which was kind of a consternation because it's I know,

877
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: it's not the same body type, but he still he

878
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: wears QTI wears six teams. You're like, nope, dang it.

879
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks played really well. You know, it was his

880
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: revenge game. I thought that the Belichick petty party was

881
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: going to take out Brandon Cooks, but apparently they decided

882
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: wisely that that Will Fuller was going to be the player.

883
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: I don't think that I don't think the I don't

884
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: think the Lions are gonna be able to take him

885
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: out of this game. So I'm gonna go with will Fuller.

886
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: And Uh, That's that's another one of my guys that

887
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: I always feel like it's an automatic for me. I

888
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: know it's probably probably better value to go with Brandon Cooks,

889
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: but I still I still lean towards will Fuller. I agree.

890
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: I have been on the Wilfuller will Fuller train all

891
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: year long, and I'm not really ready to get off now. Um.

892
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: I'm never surprised when Brandon Cooks has a good game.

893
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: I know it's always within the realm of possibility. But

894
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: just the connection that Deshaun Watson and Will Fuller have

895
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: had over the last two or three years, UH still

896
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: sort of rings true to me. So that's the guy

897
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: I tend to lean with. Uh. And you know, if

898
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm burned by it, so be it. I'm sticking to

899
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: my guns on that one. Um DeAndre Swift missed last

900
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: week with a concussion. He at last check was upgraded

901
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: was limited in practice earlier in the week, so we're

902
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: still not sure whether or not he's gonna go. Obviously,

903
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: it's a short week for the Lions. If he can't go,

904
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: do you feel okay with Adrian Peterson in the lineup.

905
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I think this is the matchup where I would actually

906
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it. Like I, I think it

907
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: goes without saying that we would prefer that DeAndre Swift

908
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: was the running back. And I don't know if I

909
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: was talking about this on the air or off the air,

910
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: as I just made a trade with a team that's

911
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: very close to the playoffs. A lot of it is

912
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: is is counting on DeAndre Swift being available this week

913
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: because I don't. I'm basically starting the playoffs this week

914
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: just because I can't afford to lose any more games.

915
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: I do have Adrian Peterson in reserve. But the good

916
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: news for me, I'll there are other running backs that

917
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: would start over him. I go for my I know

918
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: not everybody has this issue, but I have, like Antonio Gibson,

919
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: so I haven't my backup running back is Antonio Gibson

920
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: because I have actually have Eckler and Swift, So that's

921
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: uh So this is such a good team. I just

922
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: need everybody to get healthy. But I think, like guys

923
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: like Antonio Gibson, I feel a little bit more comfortable

924
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: with I know we talked about Giovanni Bernard earlier. I

925
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: would probably lean towards him as well, but I would

926
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: certainly take Adrian Peterson over like the Rams running backs,

927
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: any of the forty Niners running backs. There's some situations

928
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: where you would go with Adrian Peterson. I wouldn't dismiss it.

929
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of us might because we're like, oh,

930
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: this old man is still playing, but you know what,

931
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: he can still go when he needs to. This is

932
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: a good matchup for running back. So I would feel

933
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable, as comfortable as I could be if I

934
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: had to go with Adrian Peterson. I know this isn't

935
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: necessarily you know, traditional logical fantasy football analysis, but I

936
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: just have a feeling that on Thanksgiving Day, Adrian Peterson,

937
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, like, I wouldn't be surprised that at the

938
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: end of the game you see him with with standing

939
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: in front of a microphone holding a turkey leg or

940
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: something like that, because he went out and had like

941
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards and two touchdowns. Right, It

942
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: just it just feels like it could be one of

943
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: those games. Although then again, if he's standing there with

944
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: the mic holding a turkey like that means the Lions one,

945
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: which doesn't happen on Thanksgiving, so scratch that. But anyway,

946
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: I do think Adrian Peterson can go and have a

947
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: good game. Um I wouldn't make him the first and

948
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: foremost start for me, but um I can see him

949
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: as being a good daily play and I could see

950
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: him in deeper leagues being a guy that you put

951
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: into your lineup. Take a look now at the second

952
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: of the two Thanksgiving Day games. It's a battle for

953
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: a share of first place in the NFC East, believe

954
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: it or not, between a pair of two being a

955
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: pair of three win teams. Uh, the Washington Football Team

956
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys, which look, I know the tradition

957
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: to have the Cowboys play, but I feel like if

958
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: they're going to play, they should play Washington. I mean,

959
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: it is the big rivalry. It just makes sense to

960
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: have them play on Thanksgiving Days. So whatever. Anyway, Alex

961
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: Smith did not have a great game last week in

962
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 1: a matchup we thought he could succeed at against the Bengals.

963
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup this week against the team

964
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: we think he can could succeed against in the Cowboys Uh,

965
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: do we trust him to bounce back this week? Why

966
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: don't we ever trust Alex Smith? Yeah, that was a

967
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: that was a pregnant pause right there, because I got

968
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: burned again last week. And it was the thing about

969
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: like I've been an Alex Smith fan for so long

970
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: and now he always ends up burning me. And so

971
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: by the way, I just noticed, like if I'm looking

972
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: up at my monitor, I apologize to everybody because I

973
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: just I got my notes, I got a new set up.

974
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: So this is why things are happening. This is why

975
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: it's a calamity week, twelve week, eleve and I'm starting

976
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: to get all this new equipment. But the one thing

977
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: about Alex Smith, though, is that every time that we

978
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: think this is throughout his history as a starting quarterback,

979
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: every time that we think like this is Alex Smith's week,

980
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: he never comes through. And I don't know why I

981
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: bought in so hard last week. And it's one of

982
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: those things when you come out and you say something,

983
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: You're like, you know what, I gotta back up what

984
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I can't sit here and be like

985
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: start Alex Smith and then not do it myself. And

986
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: I did, and it burned me and so I like

987
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: the fact that this is a good matchup for him,

988
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: and now that everybody is off, this is when he

989
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: comes back. Baby, this is Alex Smith's time. So yes,

990
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: this is when I trust it. I don't trust him,

991
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: but I trust him. If that makes sense to you,

992
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. I do think he

993
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: has a good game this week. I think though, that

994
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: with with no quarterbacks on a by um, everybody, everybody's

995
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: lineup varies, So I can see where you might have

996
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: to start in. But I think with with no teams

997
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: on a buy, you probably have a better option uh

998
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: in your lineup. Um, so I will. I probably wouldn't

999
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: start him, but I get it if you do, and look,

1000
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: you can at least tell your off that this is

1001
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: a good matchup. Um, it's not a good matchup for

1002
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: ceedee lamb. He was good last week. Do we think

1003
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: he can be good this week against Washington? Well, I

1004
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a little bit of the middle

1005
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: of the road thing because he's had double digit Fantasy

1006
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: points in his last two games. So I really do

1007
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: like him. And this was one of the things we

1008
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: talked about last week when both of us were out

1009
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: there picking the Cowboys to beat the Vikings. But by

1010
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: the way, the only two members of the NFL media

1011
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: who made that prediction that Notwithstanding, I like Ceedee Lamb,

1012
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: I think that I I somehow, for some reason, found

1013
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: him on a waiver wire. Today, I'm like, okay, like

1014
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: I must be playing with a bunch. Well, I'm nine

1015
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: and two, so it's a it's a it's a luxury

1016
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: for me to have him, But I really do. I

1017
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: think people have given up on this Cowboys offense, and

1018
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: for for good reason. They weren't playing very well. But

1019
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: I think now that Andy Dalton is back, they shown

1020
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: that during certain matchups they'll go out there in their

1021
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: performed pretty well. You're correct in that this is a

1022
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: tough matchup. So without looking at your rosters specifically, I

1023
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: can't say whether you would start him or not. But

1024
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: I definitely think that in some instances as a wide

1025
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: receiver three, I think he's gonna be a great option.

1026
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: I think I feel like he's the most consistent receiver

1027
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: in that offense. I mean, Amari Cooper is a Marie Cooper,

1028
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: which means you ride the highs and the lows. Uh.

1029
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup is maybe good for our play here or there,

1030
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: but not enough for you to start him. Ceedee Lamb

1031
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: is like the one guy that keep coming back to,

1032
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: So I think, if anything, that's what you hang your

1033
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: hat on, even if the matchup is not great, and

1034
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: you hope that kind of what we saw from Andy

1035
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Dalton last week is what continues in some respect this week. So, um,

1036
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, again everybody's roster varries. I could see an

1037
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: argument for flexing Ceedee Lamb maybe as a second or

1038
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: third wide receiver. Uh and and starting him there. Uh

1039
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: ezekul e And had a hundred yards for the first

1040
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: time this season last week against the Vikings. Other than that,

1041
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: he's been just okay. He doesn't have a rushing touchdown.

1042
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: I think since, like we five, it's been a while. Um,

1043
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: what are we expecting? How are we feeling about Zeke

1044
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: this week? I don't believe that he's gonna get a

1045
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards against this Washington ft defense, who's they've been

1046
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: playing pretty well. I mean, the strength of this team

1047
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: was always going to be in their front seven, and

1048
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty much shown that way through the entire year.

1049
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: There's opportunities for him to catch the ball out of

1050
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: the backfield. I do believe that he's always a threat.

1051
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: They're caught a touchdown last week, so obviously you're starting him.

1052
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: The rushing might not be there. You're gonna need him

1053
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 1: to catch a couple of passes. But I you know, again,

1054
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: who are you? Who are you starting over him? I

1055
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: can't imagine you're in a situation where if you have

1056
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook on your team, then yeah,

1057
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: I would probably leave him on the bench. But you know,

1058
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: given everything else he's going to be starting for you,

1059
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: expect around his average right there, around sixty yards. Hopefully

1060
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: he gets around three receptions, gets about twenty twenty yards there.

1061
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: That gets you into double digits. Then you're just hoping

1062
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. I mean for his frustrating as he's been.

1063
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: He's still a running back six which I don't know

1064
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: if that says something about the running back position or

1065
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: what have you. So, um, it's not the season you

1066
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: might have expected from Ezekiel Elliott, but he's not exactly

1067
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: killing you when you compare him to other running backs

1068
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: across the National Football League, So yeah, start him. The

1069
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: numbers might not be exciting, but they haven't been exciting

1070
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: all year long, and you keep starting Ezekiel Elliott, So

1071
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would stop. Right now, it's

1072
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: time for Fast Connections presented by Verizon. We always in

1073
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: the show on Wednesday with some wire taps. Guys, you

1074
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: might have snatched off the waiver wire and whether or

1075
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: not you're starting the the first one. You sort of

1076
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: alluded to this earlier in the show. Derek Carr against

1077
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: the Falcons. We both agree that he's playing well. I

1078
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: would assume you would lean toward giving him a start

1079
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: under the right situation. Yeah, you know what, And I

1080
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: apologize for not making this distinction earlier when we were

1081
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 1: talking about him. They play the Jets next week as well.

1082
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a quarterback that you need

1083
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: to sustain yourself for a couple of weeks, I don't know.

1084
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: Perhaps I'm know that some people like Steve Lemmy, he's

1085
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: on I don't know if you watched Tacoma f D.

1086
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: He had this question because he had Drew Brees and

1087
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and he's been looking for a quarterback and

1088
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr was actually the one that I brought up

1089
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: because not only does he have a great matchup this week,

1090
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, but he's got the Jets next week.

1091
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: To see, that's a two week stretch, so you don't

1092
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: have to worry about, you know, dropping him and trying

1093
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: to find another quarterback the following week. Yeah, any quarterback

1094
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: like that this time of year is pretty much gold.

1095
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: And if you haven't been a two quarterback league, you're

1096
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: feeling really good about yourself heading into the playoffs. Uh.

1097
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: And then demere Bird, who's taking on the Cardinals, who

1098
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: had a huge week last week. Um, I know it's

1099
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: been sort of split between he and Jacobe Myers, but

1100
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: would you would you give the mere Bird some runs?

1101
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: Saying a deeper league? Deeper leagues for sure. You know,

1102
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when we were I think

1103
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: it was a Thursday edition, you know, whenever we do

1104
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: the stacks on NFL Fantasy Live is I had the

1105
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newton demere Bird stack and it was the week

1106
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: that Jacoby Meyers went off. So I'm like, I was

1107
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: so close unnailing this, But we really and I really

1108
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: liked what we saw out of Cam. You know, he ran,

1109
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 1: he did not rush for a lot of yards. Last week,

1110
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 1: he threw for over three sixty and I'm just saying

1111
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: that he can throw the football, and I think that

1112
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: Demere Bird is somebody who could step up and be

1113
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: a good player. And by the way, Demere Bird revenge

1114
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: game and he's going against the Birds, very true. That's

1115
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: what you want? What do you want? That might be

1116
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: reason to put him in the lineup. Yeah, deeper leagues,

1117
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: I think you're he's worth a shot. I even plug

1118
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: him into a couple of daily lineups just because, uh,

1119
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, you never really know where Cam's gonna go

1120
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: with the football, but it's pretty much split between Myers

1121
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: and Bird ever since Julian Edelman went down. So I

1122
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: love that as a stack. Again, going back to that,

1123
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a fun stack with that

1124
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: that would be a fun stock and if it hits,

1125
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: you can sort of lord it over people for a while.

1126
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: So all right, that was Fast Connections presented by Veries.

1127
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: Of course, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so did want to take
