1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, nam G.

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like Neo

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: in the matrix. Good show for you coming up, and

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: I just think a great show, right, Let's just let's

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: just go to the moon on this great show for

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: you coming up today on this Monday, as always, joined

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: by producer Justin and the specialists, a cast of dozens

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: that help us get ready for this show, and joined

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: on screen by my pal Michael f Flora flying the

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: Bills Colors today. This is a big one for your

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: guys tonight. This is bigger than I had ever anticipated

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: it would be. I mean, if they lose, they fall

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: to seventh. If they win, there in a four way

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: tie for first. Like it is. It is a massive game,

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make it any better that it is

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: against the team that for the last two decades has

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: dominated you. And then you think it's finally over and

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: they're like, not so fast. So I've I've talked a

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: lot about this, gave this week, talked a lot of

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of trash show. I am. I'm

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: pumped for this one tonight months well we will, we'll

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later on. By the way,

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: this is like the next couple of weeks, there's a

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: chance for the Bills to really like slay some demons,

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: right because they've got They've got the Patriots tonight, so

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: there's you know, Belichick and the Patriots on tap. Next week,

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: they've got the Bucks, so like as a chance to

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: take down Tom Brady's there's a whole lot of chance

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: for for some Bill's redemption the next couple of weeks.

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're you know, I'm sure it's just relaxing.

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal at all. I'm sure. Yeah,

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: and then they get the Patriots two weeks after that.

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: This next month is it's great because the other three

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: games they have left are very winnable, but those three

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: games are gonna decide everything, I think, so, uh yeah,

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: won't won't be a relaxing month, but at least the

38
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Bills are finally playing meaningful football late in the season.

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Right until a couple of years ago, this was something

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I only dreamed of exactly, So you know, it's it's

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: it's a step forward. It is progress for the franchise.

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: We got a lot to do though. On the show today,

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: we will take you through some key Week thirteen injuries

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: will help you spruce up your roster for the fantasy playoffs,

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, we will talk about that big

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: Monday night game between the Bills and the Patriots. But

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: first let's start, as we always do, with some fantasy headlines.

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: We'll start in Carolina, where the Panthers on Sunday announced

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: that they had fired their offensive coordinator, Joe Brady. He

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: has been replaced by Jeff Nixon, who's just an offensive assistant. Um,

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: and you said you looked at up for his no

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: no history of calling plays, but he does have a history,

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: uh with Matt rules, so that probably applies into it

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. But for fantasy purposes, I mean, this

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: was a team that started the season hot. It has

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: all fallen apart. They have switched quarterbacks a couple of times. Um,

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: right now it feels like the only usable piece is

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: d J. Moore. Until what does this mean? Do we

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: have any idea what this change means for DJ Moore?

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I I don't envision it being a good change for

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: d J. Moore and the Carolina Panthers passing game. I

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: mean after the move, Matt Rules said, like last week,

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: we wanted to run the ball thirty three to thirty

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: five times, and we only rushed it twenty three times.

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: So with with Nixon having a history of working under

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, I'm guessing Matt Rule is gonna get what

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: he wants. So I'm envisioning this Panthers team running a

68
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: lot more, which means good things for Cam Newton. I think,

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: uh Chuba Hubbard as well. But I mean people were

70
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: getting excited about a Mere Dula as a pass catcher.

71
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: D J. Moore is the wide receiver one there. I

72
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: think you still hold onto those guys just until we

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: see but I think you could get away with potentially

74
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: benching them depending on your options. I mean, this is

75
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: definitely a fall from where we were at the start

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: of the year, when so many of us were so

77
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: excited about DJ Moore. We thought Robby Anderson could be

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: a thing. We were obviously hoping and expecting that the

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey was going to be there all year long.

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Uh So they're on a buy this week and you

81
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: look at the schedule the rest of the way, So

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: they got the Falcons right out of the by which

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: is a pretty good, pretty good matchups. Think they got

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Bucks, and the Saints, so it looks

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: really bleak's trying to start any Panthers the rest of

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: the way. Uh, this has kind of been a lost

87
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: year for them, unfortunately, and I guess for us in

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: fantasy if you had any any Carolina Panthers on your team,

89
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: not not a great year. UM In New York, Daniel

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Jones dealing with a neck injury that is likely to

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: keep him out for multiple weeks. Mike Glennon got the

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: start on Sunday. The Giants looked pretty awful, not really

93
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: a major surprise, but Uh, Sae Kwon Barkley has been

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: struggling lately. We've got Mike Glennon at quarterback, We've got

95
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: a group of pass catchers that have been super inconsistent.

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: Can we start any Giants at this point? I think

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: it's Sae Kwon Barkley and that's it. And Sa Kwan

98
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: is still even at this point, he's not an RB one,

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: He's more of an RB two, especially because Mike Glennon

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: suffered a concussion this past week, so we might be

101
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: getting Jake from making his first NFL start next weekend.

102
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: That that's a big down grade. The only thing to

103
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: hang your hat on with se Kwan is yesterday he

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: saw a team high nine targets. And I would expect

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: whether it's Glennon or from next week under center for

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 1: the Giants, we're gonna get a lot of dump offs

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: to Sakwan Barkley. I think that keeps him as an

108
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: RB two. But no way am I trusting any of

109
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: the receivers or Evan Ingram, especially with no Daniel Jones.

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: It just it's been bad. I think it's what did

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I see? I believe this morning that there hasn't been

112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: a Giant's running back or wide receiver score a touchdown

113
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: since before Halloween. I believe it's October was the last time,

114
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: uh one of the wide receivers were running back scored

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown for the Giants. Brutal uh and and this

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: doesn't make it any better. And they they signed Kenny

117
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Golladay to be a touchdown scorer and have been trying

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: to force the ball to him and and it just

119
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: hasn't worked, has not worked at all. Bad news in Minnesota.

120
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland left in the game in the Lass against

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions with an ankle injury. It is being called

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: right now a high ankle sprain. The Vikings next game

123
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: is going to be on Thursday nights against the Pittsburgh Steelers,

124
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: and it looks very unlikely for Theland to be ready

125
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: for that game. So with him out, is it an

126
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: easy pivot to kJ Osborne or do you look somewhere else? Maybe? Uh,

127
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be an easy pivot to kJ Osborne. I'm

128
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: thinking that you might have a better candidate on your bench.

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: But if not, I think Osborne is in play at

130
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: the very least as a flex option. He had seven

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: targets this past week. I also think it bodes well

132
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: for Tyler Conklin, the tight end there in Minnesota. He

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: had nine targets. We know that he can be used

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone as well, and I think it's

135
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to trust a tight end here

136
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: than a a wide receiver if you're going a little

137
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: bit deeper. So I prefer Conklin, But I think Osborne's

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: in plays a flex option as well. I know that

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: on Friday's NFL Fantasy Live, Maurice Jones Drew had Tyler

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Conklin as a starting ended up having pretty good game.

141
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Seven catches for fifty six yards will certainly take that

142
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: out of a tight end that you were probably streaming.

143
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: Osborne mentioned seven targets. They have four catches for forty

144
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: seven and a touchdown, So, you know, good but not great,

145
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: but also feels like it's gonna be hard to sustain

146
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: that even without Adam Feeland. Uh, and you know against

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense that has its moments. I guess, uh,

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: they're not playing great football, but you know, they did

149
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: get a win. Uh, and they're they're hanging in there.

150
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: So so we'll see how that goes. We're probably gonna

151
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: see infinite targets to Justin Jefferson's roight. That that I

152
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: think is the real answer, Right, So Justin Jefferson just

153
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: eats a lot, maybe some Alexander Madison too. I think

154
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of how this offense shakes out now without Feeland.

155
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: A couple other injuries of note, actually a handful of

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: injuries of note. Joe Burrow injured his finger. It was

157
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: looking kind of gnarly, but he says he doesn't plan

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: to miss any time. He's gonna try to play through it. Uh.

159
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Finger injuries apparently are the hot thing right now for

160
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks around the league. The I would try to not

161
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: do that, that's just me h. Miles Sanders was having

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: a really nice day for the Philadelphia Eagles, but then

163
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: re injured his ankle ended up leaving in the fourth quarter.

164
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: We saw a lot more Boston Scott. We saw a

165
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: lot of Kimmy Gainwell on Sunday as well, so monitor

166
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the ankle injury for Sanders. Tyrod Taylor has possible tour

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: ligaments in his wrist uh, so we'll see what happens there.

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: It could be a Davis Mills game this week for

169
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, so that's another thing the monitor. Tyrone

170
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: also not did not play well on Sunday, which sort

171
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: of attributed to him going to the bench later in

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: as well. A couple of season ending injuries as well.

173
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake has a broken ankle. He is done for

174
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: the year. We'll talk about that a little bit later

175
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: on in the show. And then Logan Thomas suffered a

176
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: knee injury against the Raiders. It is believed to be

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: a torn a c L and mc L, so certainly

178
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: his season is over for the Washington football team, so

179
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: all some things of note will certainly touch on some

180
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: of those today and probably on Wednesday as well as

181
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: we get a little bit closer to game time, uh

182
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: in the meantime time for issue of an issue. In addition,

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: how about that the things we learned where we talking

184
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff that we figured out that

185
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: after watching games on Sunday, and how we apply it

186
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: to our fantasy lives. So what is a new thing

187
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: for you, Floria? I learned that Elijah More is a

188
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: weekly must art option and he was trending that way,

189
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: but then last week he had his worst game since

190
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: his really since he broke out, and that was his

191
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: first game that he played entirely with Zach Wilson. So

192
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: there was concerns like ken Zack Wilson be as good

193
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: for Elijah More as Joe Flacco and Josh Johnson and

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Mike white Ware, which is crazy to say, But then

195
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: we saw him have a twenty point game yesterday and

196
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: since Week seven after the Jets by he's been averaging

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: over eight targets per game, with at least six targets

198
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: in every game, giving you nearly eighteen fantasy points per game.

199
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Three times his top twenty and he's done it again

200
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: with four different quarterbacks. So and his worst game in

201
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: that span is just nine Fantasy points every a game

202
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: in double digits. So he brings the a very safe floor.

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: I would say we've been seeing the upside as well.

204
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I think Elijah More at this point it's just someone

205
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: that you leave in your starting lineup and you don't

206
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: take them out, especially because it was a tough matchup

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: against Philly yesterday and it didn't matter. Yeah. I mean,

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: they keep going back to the fact that they said

209
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago that they didn't want to try

210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to force the issue with Elijah More. But maybe they aren't.

211
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it just is happening naturally. That's fine. Maybe they

212
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: should just work on trying to get him the ball more, uh,

213
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: and get get him more involved in the offense, because

214
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: he's one of the few bright spots that they got

215
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: right now there in New York. Uh. For me, I

216
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: am worried about the Ravens offense. It has not been

217
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: great over the last few weeks. Uh. And you know,

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: in addition to that, Lamar Jackson has been sort of

219
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: mediocre at best. I mean his last three games that

220
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: he's played, he's had fewer than eight team Fantasy points.

221
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: He didn't miss a game in there as well. But

222
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: it just has not been very good for this team.

223
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: They're struggling to score twenty points right now, and even

224
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: when you look at Lamar's rushing totals, they are four.

225
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson pretty pedestrian. I mean, he's he's giving you

226
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: about anywhere between thirty and fifty yards, which, again, if

227
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: that was any other quarterback, you'd be excited about that.

228
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: When it's Lamar Jackson, you start to wonder what's happening.

229
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: And so this is a team that is not doing

230
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot offensively. We've seen Rashad Bateman kind of

231
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: fall out of favor, Davante Freeman still actually giving you

232
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of production, but beyond that, it has

233
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: been been very, very rough. I don't know if anybody

234
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: has talked about, you know, dropping Lamar. I know we

235
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: get sometimes some some panicky questions, but you know, if

236
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: I was talking about draft or dropping him, we at

237
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: least have to talk about the fact that he's just

238
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: not being productive right now. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't drop Lamar.

239
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed with Mark Andrews as of late, but I'm

240
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: still starting him pretty much every week because tight end

241
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Markey's brown. I think it's the other piece of that

242
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: past game that you could start to rest. I don't

243
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: even want to roster anyone really on this team. It's

244
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: and it's wild to say that the most productive Raven

245
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Marcus has been DeVonta Freeman. Like, I did not see

246
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: that one coming. No. I mean, look, this is a

247
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: season that we we thought was gonna be the j K.

248
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: Dobbins Gus Edwards year, and now we have been forced

249
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: to kind of go with DeVonta Freeman and Latavious Murray. Uh.

250
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Not what we expected, certainly not what the Ravens expected.

251
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: But here we are all right. Time to take a

252
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: quick break. But when we return, we're looking at top

253
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: performers and biggest disappointments of Week thirteen. Find out which

254
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: Bengals wide receiver we are trusting down on the stretch.

255
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Take a

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: look at some of the top performers for Week thirteen.

257
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray welcome back your QB one with nearly thirty

258
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: one Fantasy points. Taysom Hill got your nearly twenty one

259
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points despite not really playing all that well. But

260
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: he's a QUB six. Javontay Williams has the breakout day

261
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for for about three months. Now get

262
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: you at twenty nine point eight to make him the

263
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: RB one. Josh Jacobs or RB four with twenty four points.

264
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle getting a little extra work because Darrell Henderson

265
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: was less than He's your RB seven just under twenty

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: two points. Justin Jefferson, continue into ball out thirty five

267
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: fantasy points thirty five point six to be exactly make

268
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: him the wide receiver one. T Higgins your wide receiver four,

269
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight point eight, Russell Gage, get you twenty two

270
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: to be wide receiver eights. George Kittle having a monster

271
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: day thirty nine point six fantasy points. He's You're tight

272
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: end one, and Dallas got it with a big day

273
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight and a half. He is your tight end two.

274
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: But let's dive into some of these guys, notably T Higgins,

275
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: who you saw had the really nice day for the

276
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Jamar Chase has been you know less than

277
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: you know from the start of the seat, and maybe

278
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: it's because he was so great at the start of

279
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the year that now we look at this as like,

280
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: what's what's happening with Jamar Chase? But is t Higgins

281
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: now the guy that you want to be starting from

282
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: this Bengals offense? Yeah, I think so. I mean we

283
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: we'd seen it early on when they were both out

284
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: there on the field that Tee Higgins was the preferred

285
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: option in the red zone. But now it's just looking

286
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: like he is the preferred option, like in games they've

287
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: both been healthy. Shout out to Mike Clay, I know

288
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: he was doing to put this out there first yesterday

289
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like Ti Higgins has more targets, more usage. Uh.

290
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: To me, I think Jamaar Chase is still in play.

291
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: Like I had a friend of mine who was texting

292
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: me over the weekend. He's freaking out about his fantasy team,

293
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, look, it's not going great for you,

294
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: but you still have a player like Jamaar Chase, And

295
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: I think you have to start each week because it

296
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: only takes one or two catches for this guy to

297
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: have a day. But his worst game in his last

298
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: five games would be I mean, his best game in

299
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: the last five would be his worst game in the

300
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: first seven weeks of the season, So he has been

301
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: anything but what we were hoping for. As of late,

302
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: I think Tee Higgins is the top wide receiver here,

303
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: but I still think Jamaar Chase because of his upside,

304
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: is in play each week. Just the ceiling for Chase

305
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: is so high and that's that's why you put him

306
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: in your lineup. But Tee Higgins started and to kind

307
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: of take the role that I think a lot of

308
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: people anticipated for him at the start of the year.

309
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, uhh Higgins was kind of the known quantity,

310
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: and I know we like Chase because he was the

311
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: new thing with the plenty of upside, but Higgins kind

312
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: of settling into that wide receiver one role right now,

313
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: teams are scheming to take Jamaar Chase out and Tyler

314
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Boyd we'll talk about him a little bit later, but

315
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: but has been just kind of a non factor for

316
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: the most part for the Bengals lately. Kyler Murray he

317
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: had had three one lead on those summer reports, but

318
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: they're coming back, they are, they're coming back. I mean

319
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: it was like he was up three early on and

320
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: now it's this thing might go to overtime for him. Uh.

321
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who who had a really nice day in

322
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: his return in a big win against the Chicago Bears. Uh,

323
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: do you do we think he will continue to run

324
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: as well as he did yesterday? Had two rushing touchdowns.

325
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Last year we saw him kind of slow down after

326
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. Is this how it's going to be?

327
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Was this just like a one time thing? How are

328
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: we feeling about that? I'm feeling pretty encouraged right now.

329
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: He had seasoned highs across the bar, the board and

330
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: carries yards and in the rushing touchdowns. And it was

331
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: his first game back off of an injury. It wasn't

332
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: ideal weather conditions out there. It was a slick field,

333
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: so potentially it was just because hey, no one could

334
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: catch him on that wet field. But I think if

335
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: you have Kyler Murray right now, you have to be

336
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: encouraged because he looked healthy. He was running great, the

337
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: best we've seen him run all game all year. And

338
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: the schedule going forward is pretty favorable. Yeah. No, the

339
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: schedule very great. And uh, you know, at this point,

340
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: we were long past the part of worrying about matchups

341
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray right, like, we're gonna get him in

342
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: the lineup. We just want we just want to know

343
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: if he's gonna run the ball as much as he

344
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: has in the past, because that certainly takes him to

345
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: another level in terms of what his production can be.

346
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: But we have seen him throw the ball effectively. You know,

347
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of pass catchers. But it is

348
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: just a matter of, you know, do we get those

349
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: extra hidden Konami yards from Kyler Murray. But he's gonna

350
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: be great. I have no worries about him. He's gonna

351
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: be next year. I'm sure. Again one of the top

352
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: three to five quarterbacks off the board in most fantasy leagues.

353
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: So all is well there. Uh, Josh Jacobs is your

354
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: RB four as of this moment. Heading into Monday Night Football.

355
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, as we mentioned, left the game early with

356
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: a broken ankle he has done for the years, So uh,

357
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: this perverse maybe heavily to Josh Jacobs again, although he

358
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: got a weird thing, he was getting more targets. He

359
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: was having about a fifteen or sixteen percent target share

360
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: over the last month or so, about double what Kenyan

361
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: Drake was seeing. So maybe things are already starting to turn. Um.

362
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: Are we hirer on Josh Jacobs now with no Kenyan

363
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Drake in this offense? Yeah, for sure. And I've been

364
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: a lo guy on Josh Jacobs for basically two years

365
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: and now because I'm like he doesn't catch enough passes

366
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: and in PPR league, which NFL dot com leagues are,

367
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: that's what you need. But that started to change like yesterday. Yeah,

368
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: career high nine targets, nine catches, but that career high

369
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: previously was seven, which he said two weeks ago. So

370
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: he has been seeing more assistant usage in the passing game.

371
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: Does he turn it into a lot of yards. No,

372
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: But when you get seven free points or nine free

373
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: points off of catches alone, you're going to have a

374
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: good game. You're likely going to finish as an RB one.

375
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: So I think if you have Josh Jacobs right now,

376
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: you should be feeling pretty good. He's definitely trending up

377
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion. I mean, it is the thing that

378
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: we have been asking for since he was drafted by

379
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders is get him involved in the passing game.

380
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: We know that he can be productive there. We saw

381
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: it when he was in college and for whatever reason,

382
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: John Gruden never did it. Now maybe it's starting to

383
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: change with the change in play caller. Maybe Greg Olsen

384
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: is gonna start to get him more involved in the

385
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: passing game. You love to see it because we know

386
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: he can be a pretty consistent running back. We just

387
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: want him to catch the football because that is again,

388
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: it's sort of like Hyler Murray running. It's a chance

389
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: for extra production, a chance to go to the next level. Um,

390
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, we can go round and round on the

391
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: merits of PPR, but as long as that's the world

392
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: we live in, it's fine. Somebody who can take advantage

393
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: of it. So it seems that the Raiders are starting

394
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: to do that with with Jacobs. All right, that was

395
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: the good. Now outside for the bad in what we

396
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: like to call I'm Salty, where we rant and rape

397
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: about the guys who broke our hearts this week. Uh,

398
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: this was what we we full disclosure. We have a

399
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: little slack channel between myself and in Florida and producer Justin.

400
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: We're on Sundays as games are happening, we sort of,

401
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: uh talk about what we want to discuss on the show.

402
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: This was one you got a little fun with talking

403
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: about this one. Uh, it's Boston Scott. Because coming into

404
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: the week we were like, Miles Sanders is a little

405
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: banged up. Boston Scott's been getting more work. It is

406
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: a great match up against the Jets, the best matchup

407
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: a running back could have. Boston Scott got a little sick,

408
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: but he was like, no, I'm still gonna play. He

409
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: played three snaps, He did not have a touch, he

410
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: did not score a fantasy point, and then he tried

411
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: to have some fun with players with fantasy players, and man,

412
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: he does not know how to meme at all. You

413
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: see here if you're watching on the video, he he

414
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: did the handshake meme and on one side was beating

415
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: the flu, on the other was getting cussed out and

416
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: my mentions over fantasy, which, by the way, never do that.

417
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: Don't be the person sending mean messages to players and stuff.

418
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: But then the thing they're agreeing on is the Eagles

419
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: winning and and there's no correlation at all between the three.

420
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: Boston Scott like, my, man, you're a good football player.

421
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: Stick to that. Like like, you shouldn't been trying to

422
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: think of your own memes because this is not how

423
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: you do it. Yeah, you know they I would think

424
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: that the the Eagles have a social media person, maybe

425
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: Boston should sit with them and uh, you know, kind

426
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: of figure out how the memes work. Because it was

427
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: good job, good effort, but but in the end the

428
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: results were not We're not great, all right. So I'm

429
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: gonna stick in Philadelphia when we talk about disappointment, and

430
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say DeVante Smith because I I thought this

431
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: was a bounce back week for DeVante Smith against the Jets,

432
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: and this is actually one of his worst games of

433
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: the season. Was really a non factor, didn't see much

434
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: of the ball, only had a couple of catches, didn't

435
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: give you much in the way of yard. You see

436
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: that there three and a half Fantasy points this week

437
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: from Devonte Smith and what seemed like a great matchup,

438
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: but instead it was Dallas Goddard getting all the work

439
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: and it was Kidneth Gainwell doing things that you know,

440
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: and and Miles Sanders having a big day on the ground.

441
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: So DeVante Smith ended up being andy. And maybe we

442
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: should have talked about this when Gardner Minshew uh was

443
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: getting the start that maybe it just wasn't gonna work

444
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: out early on for DeVante Smith. Maybe you get better,

445
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: but this one, this one, this one hurts a little

446
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: bit that DeVante didn't play well this week. Yeah, a

447
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: lot of people were in my mention saying they're cutting him.

448
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Do you think he's droppable after No, I don't think

449
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: he's droppable at all. Keep him. It was a bad game.

450
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, I'm holding up. Yeah, hang on, hang on,

451
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith. It'll be fine. Just ye. You may just

452
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: not be able to play him every week, so be it. Hey,

453
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: it's the part of the show, right How you should

454
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: follow us on TikTok at NFL Fantasy, We are still

455
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,399

00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: check myself, but there, Yeah, I know we're doing TikTok's there,

461
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: It should be fun, all right. We are getting close

462
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, in fact that we're about to start

463
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, which for a lot of leagues will be

464
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: the final regular season week in fantasy football before the

465
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: playoffs starts, so much like decorating your home or a

466
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: tree for the holidays, We're gonna help you spruce up

467
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: your roster with some guys that you may want to

468
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: pick up and stash, and some guys that you might

469
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: want to say goodbye to at this point because maybe

470
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: they're not gonna help you all that much. So let's

471
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: start with the guys that we may be picking up

472
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: and either playing or stashing for the next couple of weeks.

473
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: For you, who's a good name for me? One of

474
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: them is Marlon Mack. And I have went out and

475
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: added him myself in a few leagues every league that

476
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: I have Jonathan Taylor, and I want to have Marlon Mack,

477
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: because God forbid anything was to happen to Jonathan Taylor.

478
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be in the heam Hans getting all

479
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the volume behind him. Marlon Mack is going to get

480
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the groundwork. He'd be running behind that

481
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: colts Oline, et cetera. I think right now this is

482
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: the time of year where you want to have your

483
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: top running backs handcuffs. And in the Waiver Wire article,

484
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Marcus I started it by saying that and made a

485
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: whole list of the handcuffs that I would roster right now,

486
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: So go out and get your handcuffed before it's too late. Well,

487
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: I'll keep that theme going by saying Sony Michelle looks

488
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: like a really good pickup and he had the big

489
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: game yesterday against the Jaguar, so sort of reminds you

490
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: of who he can be. But just as importantly, I mean,

491
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: with Darryll Henderson less than a percent. Uh, if you

492
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: have Darrell Henderson, Sony Michelle should be a guy you

493
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: are targeting to add off the waiver wire. Still available

494
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: in uh nearly sev of NFL dot Com League, so

495
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: he is widely out there. We know that if it

496
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: comes down to what he can be a workhorse. We

497
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: saw it in the past in New England. We saw

498
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of it yesterday. So uh, And like,

499
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: who knows, depending on how Sean McVeigh wants to work

500
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: this for the next few weeks, Michelle might end up

501
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: having some standalone value as well, but he should definitely

502
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: be on rosters at this point. Um. On the other side,

503
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: guys that maybe it's time to say goodbye too. Who

504
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: are who are you letting go? Now? This is a

505
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: guy that I was excited about all year, but Rashad Bateman, like,

506
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: it just hasn't happened, right, Like, there was that stretch

507
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of the year where it was looking

508
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: like it was gonna happen, but then Lamar and the

509
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Ravens offense has been struggling. He's kind of fallen out

510
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: of favor, getting playing a little bit behind, like Sammy

511
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Watkins and Devin DuVernay. Uh. And at this point with

512
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: players like this, where you're waiting for the breakout to happen,

513
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: you're now gonna want to see it more than one

514
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: game before you start him. So at this point, you're

515
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: realistically never going to start Rashad Bateman. So all of

516
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: those fringe E guys on your roster you could get

517
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: rid of because the boys are behind us now for

518
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: the most part. So I think you'd rather have your

519
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: your handcuff running back or like a defense with a

520
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: good matchup in the Fantasy playoffs. Yeah, this this does

521
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: kind of hurt a little bit because we did have

522
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: expectations for Bateman and he flashed a couple of times.

523
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned, with the Ravens often struggling, it's

524
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: it's certainly hard to get excited about that um. Similarly, though,

525
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: when you talk about wide receivers that maybe aren't giving

526
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: you much, Tyler Boyd uh, And this is one that

527
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: I came into the season drafting Boyd in a lot

528
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: of spots because I felt like, Uh, he was going

529
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to give you similar production to maybe Tee Higgins or

530
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, but at a much nicer draft price. And

531
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: that hasn't really been the case. I mean, he's had

532
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: a couple of decent games, but nothing's consistent, nothing sustained. Uh,

533
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Chase obviously had the huge start to the season. Higgins

534
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: is starting to come on now. So you're gonna sit

535
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: there with Tyler Boyd on your roster, probably not starting

536
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: him because you just can't trust that he's gonna give

537
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: you a good number. If you're going to use that

538
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: roster spot, like we said earlier, you better off using

539
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: it on a running back, a guy that you know

540
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: potentially could step in and get a lot of work

541
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: in case a starter goes down. I think how I

542
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: would rather use those spots for the next few weeks.

543
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: So as much as I was a fan of Tyler

544
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Boyd early in the season. Uh not so much now. Also, randomly,

545
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: is this this kind of the beginning of the end

546
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: for Tyler Boyd is a fantasy option? It seems that way,

547
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: right because Jamaarson T. Higgins are never gonna go away

548
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: like there. If anything, they'll probably get more volume next year.

549
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, Like Tyler Boyd was someone I thought was

550
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: really safe to draft this year, but next year I

551
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: don't see myself having much interest at all. Yeah, I

552
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: think it's it's probably time to move on from Tyler

553
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: Boyd at least uh in fantasy football. Alright, sorry for

554
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: another break, we come back. We have some Winter Wonderland

555
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: waiver wire options for you coming up. That's next on

556
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show, We've got a look at

557
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: the top of waiver wire targets heading into Week fourteen.

558
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: Is compiled by Michael f. Florio. So please take us

559
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: through your list, sir, and full disclosure, this is not

560
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: a great list this week. But the top quarterback ad

561
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: is still Taysom Hill. I know he didn't play great

562
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: last week, but still give you over twenty fantasy points

563
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: and get the Jets next week. He could run all

564
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: over them if you're going a little bit deeper at

565
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence just because of avorable match up. The

566
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. Gardner minshew, I know they'reround by,

567
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: but they didn't. They said they're not putting a firm

568
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: timetable on Jalen Hurts returning. Of the top running backs

569
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: are the same guys from last week because most of

570
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: them were on by. So don't forget about Don Choll, Hilliard,

571
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Deontay Foreman, Amir Abdula. They're all available in over half

572
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: of NFL dot com leagues. And then Marcus, you were

573
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: talking up Sony Michelle. I think he definitely needs to

574
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: be rostered. Tevin Coleman has been the Jets lead running

575
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: back since Michael Carter has gone down, So go out

576
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: and pick up Coleman if you need some depth at

577
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: running back. Some receivers Van Jefferson, Marcus and I do

578
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: not understand this one. Why he is available and over

579
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: half the NFL dot Com leagues he shouldn't be. Devantay

580
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Parker came back played pretty well. Russell Gauge. I mean,

581
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: I was a low on Russell Gauge, but these last

582
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks he has proven me wrong and has

583
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: looked like a strong fantasy piece a moan ros st

584
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Brown had the best game of his early career, caught

585
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown. Josh Reynolds continues to see consistent

586
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: volume there for the Lions, and then at tight end

587
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Cole Commet, he just continues to see consistent volume for

588
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: the Bears. Generald Everett. I know he had a bad

589
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but he is still the third target there

590
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: for Seattle. And then Tyler Conklin with no Adam feeling,

591
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I think he sees more volume as long at dealing

592
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: his sidelines. So another tight end you can grab. You

593
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: mentioned that mon Russe and Brown. We didn't mention the

594
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: fact that the Lions won a game. Congratulations. Uh they're

595
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: not gonna go winless this year. Uh, so they had

596
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: to look it was the most Lions win ever. They

597
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: had a big lead, they coughed it up. They needed

598
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the last second drive and a walk off touchdown to

599
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: to win it. But it is a win. So congratulations

600
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: to Dan Campbell and the Lions and the people of Detroit.

601
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: And you guys deserve better, I mean, coudles two Lions

602
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: fans like for being there yesterday, like it's cold, your

603
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: team is not good. Like you guys are real fans,

604
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: You're real true fans. So congratulations to you as much

605
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: as to the team. Uh, let's let's talk about some

606
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: of the guys though. On that list, Le's talk about

607
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshow specifically because he came out and look, he

608
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: had a good game. Uh. You know, on on some

609
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: levels it's yes, it was the Jets, but on the

610
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: other other levels, like, hey, look you know what, he

611
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: went out and he had a good matchup and he

612
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. I mean right now before Monday

613
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: Night football, he is your QB ten. So that obviously

614
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: led to a whole lot of stuff on the timeline

615
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: about whether or not Gardner Minshew should be the Eagle

616
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: starting quarterback going forward. It seems sort of inevitable because

617
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: that is what we do on Twitter. Blurg um for us, though,

618
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: who would you rather have as the Eagles QB? What

619
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: do we want Minshew mania or would we rather go

620
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: back to Jalen Hurts? No question about it. For me,

621
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather Jalen Hurts. Like yesterday in a Slam Dunc matchup,

622
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Minshew did play well and he gave us eighteen and

623
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: a half fantasy points, but Jalen Hurts gives us over

624
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty basically every week. We know what he could do

625
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: with his legs. The people who want Gardner Minshew are

626
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: the people who were all Jalen Hurts and saying he

627
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: was gonna get benched and he's not an NFL quarterback,

628
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: and they're sticking to their priors instead of being like, hey,

629
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts isn't that bad and he deserves a shot.

630
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: I think for me personally, Marcus, I want to see

631
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: Minshew go to another team and get another chance, But

632
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: I also want to continue to see Jalen Hurts as

633
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: a starter. If I have to pick one, it is

634
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: easily Jalen Hurts For me same, you know, I I

635
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: want Jalen Hurts. I feel like he's still more dynamic.

636
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: I feel like he you know, it's gonna get more

637
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: guys involved. It was great to see Dallas Goddard have

638
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: the big game. We talked about Davonte Smith though being

639
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: a disappointment. I think Hurts will sort of get a

640
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: lot more of these guys involved. He still has that

641
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: rushing upside um. I mean, look, we we have sort

642
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: of seen the Gardner Minshew show. And you know, I

643
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: know people pointed out that the weapons he had in

644
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: Jacksonville maybe weren't as good as what he's working with

645
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. But we also have kind of seen how

646
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: this thing plays out. I think we're still not completely

647
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: sold on the Jalen Hurts experience. I don't think we've

648
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: seen the final act of that yet, so I would

649
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: like to see more. Um, I just don't understand it.

650
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Like literally, I feel like the people in Philadelphia and

651
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: the people in Miami hate their respective quarterbacks, so maybe

652
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: they should just figure out a swap that will make

653
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: everybody happy. I don't know. Uh, it's weird to me,

654
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: um say J. P. Ryan another guy we talked about

655
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: the Stasian guys. You know you talked about Marlon Mack,

656
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: I I talked about Sony Michelle. Uh, the J. P.

657
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Ryan kind of rise to the level of a guy

658
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: worth stashing for the next few weeks. I think so

659
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: because we've seen when Joe Mixon missed his time, he

660
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: is the next running back up. He'll get a good

661
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: amount of volume. And those are the backup running backs

662
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: that you want to roster if you don't want the

663
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: guys like on the Chargers, Like if Austin Neckler goes down,

664
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: I cannot stay with any confidence who the next man

665
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: up is. But in a lot of teams you can.

666
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: That's why on my rosters where I like, I have

667
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and I have Benny Snell, and I have

668
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams DeVante Booker, because every week, if there's a

669
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: big waiver wire pickup, it's usually a running back, the

670
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: backup running back on a team that starter got hurt.

671
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to be in that position in the

672
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. In case something happens to your starter, you

673
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: already want to backup on your roster. So especially if

674
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: you have Joe Mixon, definitely go out and get Tom

675
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: p Ryan. I mean, we have seen mixing in the

676
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: past deal with injuries and even this year. I mean

677
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: nothing that has been really long term or really serious.

678
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: But you know, there's just those moments when if something happens,

679
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: he rolls an ankle or something and he has to

680
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: go sit down for a little while. Uh, if one

681
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: of those things, not that we're wishing it, but if

682
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: one of those things were to be serious and force

683
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: him to miss time. Uh. P Ryan is a really

684
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: nice option to slide in there. And and look, it's

685
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: nothing new. Every year there's one or two backup running

686
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: backs who end up being impact one of the fantasy playoffs.

687
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison looks like he's gonna slide into that role

688
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, they're very well, maybe others before we

689
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: crown some fantasy champions this year. All right, So if

690
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: we are looking for our top waiver wire target, we

691
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: have priority. We still somehow miraculously have a bunch of

692
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: fab left to spend. Who are we going after this week?

693
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: If he is still out there, it would be Van Jefferson,

694
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: who is only rostered in thirties six percent of NFL

695
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: dot com leagues that needs to go up dramatically. Like

696
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: last week, he played in the snaps and had nine targets.

697
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: This week eight targets, second on the team behind only

698
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. He scored a touchdown. All three of the

699
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Rams receivers scored a touchdown. And what we've seen since

700
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: Robert Woods has gotten hurt is that Van Jefferson is like,

701
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: is that new number two receiver there? And they are

702
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: not taking off any of their three receivers off the field.

703
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: They are firmly using three receivers at all times. So

704
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: I love Van Jefferson. If he's already rostered, I think

705
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: like Taysom Hill becomes one if you need a quarterback,

706
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: but mainly it would be your running back handcuffed, Like

707
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it is that important to go out and

708
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: get them this week. I agree like Van Jefferson is

709
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the guy that I have been a Van Jefferson stand

710
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: all year long. It's only gotten stronger as the year

711
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: has progressed. Um, you know, I had that moment, you

712
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: know when Robert when when they got o Odell Beckham Jr.

713
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: I was like, well, okay, so that's maybe the end

714
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: of the Van Jefferson train for this year. And then

715
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately Robert Woods gets hurt, and hey we're back again.

716
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm just so surprised that other people haven't caught on,

717
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: Like I just figured it would have been universal at

718
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: this point. Um Wood's got hurt literally the day you

719
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: were like, I think we have to be done with that.

720
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: So it was like one afternoon you doubt him, and

721
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: that was a you're right. It wasn't even a full

722
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: twenty four hours that I was off the train, like, uh,

723
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: right back on pretty much immediately. So I would say, look,

724
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: if if Van Jefferson is you know, he's for me

725
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: my top target. But if he's not there or you

726
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: need help elsewhere, Sony Michelle h is the guy that

727
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: that I think you should go out and get. I

728
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: talked about him a little bit earlier in what he

729
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: means potentially for this offense. Even if Darrell Henderson is healthy,

730
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: there's still potentially a chance for him to get opportunities. So, uh,

731
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: meeting the wing that you probably need running backs, or

732
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: at least you want depth that running back Sony Michelle

733
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: should be a really nice thought for you when you're

734
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: making your waivers in the next day or so. By

735
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: the way, we've got more waiver wire talk. We're writing

736
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. You can go check out

737
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: Loreal's column at the nfl dot com slash Waiver Wire. Uh.

738
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: He has already admitted that it's kind of a thin

739
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: list this week. That makes me worried as I put

740
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: together my list of sleepers. I'm not excited about what

741
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: that's going to bring this week either, because it's week

742
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: fourteen and guys are hurt, and uh, you know, we're

743
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: we're kind of hurting at both waiver and sleeper options

744
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: this week. Anyway, it's time to preview the Monday night

745
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: football contest between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo

746
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: bill should be a good one certainly to watch and

747
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: has a lot of meaning both uh in the a

748
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: f C East in the a f C at large

749
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: as well, But let's talk fantasy here. Uh. The Patriots

750
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: running back situation has become a mess recently. We we

751
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: love Damien Harris, but Mondre Stevenson starting to get involved.

752
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden sprinkled in, So would you start a Patriots

753
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: running back? Look, if if we're talking season long, you

754
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: haven't done it, you're probably stuck. But if you're putting together,

755
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: say a DFS line up, would you start a Patriots

756
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: running back? And if so, who would it be? I

757
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to If I had to start any of them,

758
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: I think I would go with Damian Harris if I

759
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: was desperate. But what we've seen is is Harris and

760
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: Stevenson split drives and then Bolden get used on third

761
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: down and Marcus this week, when I did my rankings

762
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: were coming into week thirteen, none of them were in

763
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: my top twenty five running backs. But they were all

764
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: in my top thirty five, so that's how bunched together.

765
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: I had all three of the Patriots running backs. I

766
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, I would probably not do it myself. I mean,

767
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: if I if I did pick one, I'm with you

768
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: it's Damien Harris because he's the guy I've been trusting

769
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: all year long. But because they are splitting time so equally,

770
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: there just doesn't seem to be enough and you really

771
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: are counting on one of them scoring a touchdown to

772
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: kind of put up a decent number, And on top

773
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: of it, it's just not a good matchup against this

774
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: Bill's run defense. I don't think I want really any

775
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: parts of this running game, at least not tonight. Maybe

776
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: another week, but not tonight. Um, which gets us then

777
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: to the Bills running game, which has been a headache

778
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: pretty much all year long, even more so now that

779
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: Matt Breeda seems to be in the mix. So same question,

780
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: would you start a Bills running back and if so,

781
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: who would it be? I would not. This backfield makes

782
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots backfield look pretty good for fantasy. Like Matt Breeda,

783
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: I know he's had two big games in the last

784
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: three weeks, but the one where he didn't score a touchdown,

785
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: he had less than five Fantasy points. In last week,

786
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: we were hearing reports that he could take over, and

787
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: then Devin Singletary had more than twice as many touches

788
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: as him. So Singletary, we know Marcus isn't going to

789
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: score a lot of touchdowns. So for me, it is tough.

790
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting Brita in a deeper league where I had

791
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: some running backs hurt or on by. But if I

792
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: have the choice and I can get away from this backfield,

793
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it every time. Same. I just I

794
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: can't figure this out, you know, like, who knows what

795
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: one of these guys may end up being a surprise

796
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: healthy scratch today. Uh, you know, otherwise they may just

797
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: spread the opportunities around. I'm with you, I have to

798
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: start Breeda in a league. I'm not all that thrilled

799
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: about it. Um, you know, and the Patriots defense has

800
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: been playing well, so they're there's just really no easy

801
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: answers here. And you you talk about how confusing this

802
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: backfield is. He the Patriots thin like the Browns by comparison.

803
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like, hey, we can this seem

804
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: much easier to figure out that what Buffalo is doing. Especially,

805
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: it's just Josh Allen could lead them in rushing yards

806
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: and touchdowns in any week, which only makes it harder

807
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: to figure out that that part too. Yeah. Um, alright,

808
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: last one here, we've got the two top touchdowns scoring

809
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: tight ends, uh in in the NFL. That's hard enough

810
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: to say. Between Dawson Knox and Hunter Henry, they are

811
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: separated by point one fantasy points. Just a tenth of

812
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: a point separates Dawson Knox and Hunter Henry. So between

813
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 1: the two of them, who you got tonight? I would

814
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: go with Dawson Knox only because he he seems a

815
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: little bit safer like. Not only do they use him

816
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 1: a lot in the red zone, they use Hunter Henry

817
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: a good amount in the red zone as well. But

818
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: we've seen Hunter Henry is touchdown or bust. Dawson Knox

819
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: will give you at least a couple of catches some yardage,

820
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with him. But both are also

821
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: tough matchups for the tight ends, so I'll go Knox here.

822
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: But it is very close. I would say it's very close.

823
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: I mean again, there, they're pretty much equal in fantasy points.

824
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna with Dawson Knox because I do feel

825
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: like he has more of a role in the Buffalo

826
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: passing game than Hunter Henry does. Henry, as you mentioned, uh,

827
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: he almost has to find the end zone to give

828
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: you any kind of decent production on a weekly basis.

829
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: I still think that Knox, even if he doesn't score,

830
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: can get you a handful of catches, puts up some

831
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: decent yards and then hopefully you get that bonus of

832
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the touchdown and you're feeling okay. So I'm gonna stick

833
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: with Dawson Knox and this one. So um, i'd ask

834
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: you your prediction and I see who who I think

835
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: is going to win. But I have a feeling I

836
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: know who you're gonna say. Yeah, I know it seems

837
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: biased from someone wearing a Bill's hoodie, but I'm gonna

838
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: go with the Bills, not only because it's in Buffalo,

839
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: but it's bad weather, it's a big game. One quarterback

840
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: has been in this situation before, one hasn't, so give

841
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: the guy who uh who has done this before in

842
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: this environment. I mean, this is this is like reminiscent

843
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: of of the early nineties, right, Uh, maybe not with

844
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots so much, but the Bills, and it's it's

845
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: bad weather, it's potentially snowing in Western New York, and

846
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: a team with playoff aspirations has to come in there

847
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: and deal with that crowd and that team. I mean,

848
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: this is this is days of like Jim Kelly and

849
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas and and Andre Reid is kind of what

850
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: it feels like. So it should be fun. It should

851
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: be fun. I know you're gonna be stressed out. One

852
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: thing that has me worried, Marcus, and I don't think

853
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: it's gotten enough coverage, is this is the Bills first

854
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: game and years without Trey White, so that that is

855
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: a big storyline, and the Patriots, I'm sure are going

856
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: to try to take advantage of that. They know how

857
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: to attack a week spot, so that's definitely something to

858
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. Should be fun, though, I'm sure

859
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: we'll probably talk about a little bit on Wednesday meantime.

860
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: For us, that is it. We are done. We appreciate
